Oooh Jesus, the stuff I have to say about this installment. I will try to make it make sense and not to be too self-indulgent!
Though I probably won’t be able to dive into their relationship any further, I just wanted to say that, in this little silly ‘verse of mine, both Alex and Willie find a sort of salvation in meeting each other.
On one hand we have Willie, who was brought back by his significant other and then suddenly left alone, stuck in the living world, once his boyfriend also died too soon. There’s no Caleb in this AU, so it mainly means that Willie’s been wandering alone for all this time, without a purpose, without an end.
On the other hand, Alex. I truly have too much to say about his character, on which I project so much already in canonverse. But this AU Alex is a super self indulgent take on his psychology, specifically his feelings about becoming famous while also in the closet and dealing with anxiety.
I headcanon Alex as the fan favorite member of Sunset Curve — you know how every band has the charming one, the funny one, the smart one– and Alex just comes off as sweet, and shy, and has these beautiful looks on him that make it so easy to fall for him (plus he’s a drummer, so that’s added value.)
And if all the attentions from fangirls and media would flatter someone like Reggie or Bobby or Luke, Alex is only stressed by it. The way the band grows bigger by the minute means that their lives — professional and personal— are under a spotlight that’s only growing in size and brightness. Being 17, barely out to a family who rejected him and a couple of friends who don’t really understand him, already dealing with an anxiety disorder that’s just getting harder to handle… Alex doesn’t want to admit it, but there’s a sort of relief in what happened to the band. After all, i’s an easy way out from the pressure.
A lone ghost and a lost ghost meet, and it’s all that it takes. Willie will provide him a reason to keep on living, even jn death, and Alex will show Willie that he won’t be alone anymore.
