#it chapter 1

He's such a sweet and caring guy, and he goes through so much insane trauma that pushes him to the limits of sanity much like Henry, but unlike Henry he never loses the spark that makes him kind. He's too self sacrificial, he'd die for his friends a million times over if it meant it'd ease their suffering just a little. He's head strong and teasing and he writes terrible endings and he doesn't like people to analyze his writing, but at the same time he's a wonder with words. He never quite heals from the pain of lying that day, but he's a work in progress and that's okay.

I don't think Bill gets enough appreciation, i mean yeah, people like bill, but they don't truly appreciate him enough.

I want my Welcome to Derry FYL AU to have a very domestic horror aspect, since IT is still a horror story, but given that it takes place between Pennywise cycles, the horror is reliant on Derry's social aspects and the people within it. The horror in this au comes not from Pennywise killing people, but what happens in between the times Pennywise ravishes the generations. What happens with the pieces Pennywise broke in the last one, and what horrors have to happen to set up for worse things down the line. As society pushes Ronnie, Marge, and Lilly to the roles of wife and mother, they each have to battle an inner conflicting that is horrifying all on its own- as well as outside forces.

Ronnie must figure out how she fits into her life as a wife to Will and a mother to Mike as she's spent so long in survival mode trying to prove herself to others she can't tell if having the career she's worked hard for or playing housewife to Will is what she really wants, while also dealing with being stalked by Clint Bowers on deaths door who holds the key to a secret that could put Ronnie's whole life in jeopardy. Ronnie's life is further complicated by the fact that her own husband is lying to her, using Ronnie's scattered memories as a way to hide the darker parts of Derry from her, something that, although Will means well, is not the selfless act he wants to think it is.

Marge must wrestle with feelings of still trying to please others, as she becomes embarrassed with herself and the life she's about to have, as she flip flops between feelings of inadequacy as a wife and mother for simultaneously having an imperfect kid, a husband she can't fully love as much as he deserves, and the fact she even wants to be a housewife at all in a time when other women are becoming more independent and free spirited than ever. But this all gets worse as she begins to suspect a spirit is following her, and if not, she's going insane from the sudden changes in her life. Is the only thing keeping Marge from moving on and being the best person she can be imaginary walls, or is the unfinished business manifesting in something more supernatural? Marge can't decide, in fact, she can't decide on much of anything.
