How do we feel about Audra x Bill?
Okay here’s the thing, I have super mixed feelings about this ship…
First off I think Audra is kickass. Super successful in her career, loving and caring to Bill, brave as hell for going after Bill despite his warning of danger.
And though I truly believe Bill loves her and cares a lot about her. I don’t think Bill Denbrough deserves Audra Phillips.
Do get me wrong, Bill is great, he’s my guy, my man, my bro. He also married a woman that looks very similar to Beverly Marsh and then proceeded to kiss (and sleep with in the book) Bev even though he’s married. And yes, I know, he didn’t remember Beverly when he married Audra but there was definitely some subconscious hang up on his childhood flame. And he definitely remembered Audra when he was cheating.
With Beverly ending up with Ben and Audra surviving It after being saved by Bill and the losers I would be happy either way if 1) Bill stepped up and was honest with her about his actions and everything about Derry, or 2) Audra left Bill after finding out.
So overall I’d say nay to the ship unless we’re disregarding/altering parts of canon (bc let’s be honest that’s what most of us do anyway lol). Especially if we’re referring to them in the novel compared to the miniseries/movies
