There is an accompanying fanfic by the amazing @camaro-and-smokes titled One More Year (if you stay), which you can read here! So go read it and leave some kudos and comments bc its absolutely amazing!!

Billy deserves to be remembered as a hero. He was not a bad person. Bad people don't do what he did (for Max and El). He was an abused, hurting, angry teenager who had never even known a life away from his abusive father. With his only emotional support system having been his mother who abandoned him when he was a little boy. Yes he made mistakes and yes he hurt people but I firmly believe he had the protentional to grow and change for the better if he'd had the chance to get away from the toxic environment he was living in. And most importantly if he'd had just one person in his life who he felt like was on his side. I know some might say well he had Max but he didn't really because the nature of their relationship and how Neil made him responsible for her pitted them against one another.
