#i think the idea that she finally sorta trusts him & obv he horrifically betrays that trust works well even in canon verse

okay abt to sleep but consider: AU where cassidy survives but only because her brother is killed instead and she is the most vengeful, angry 13-year-old ( or older, if it's years later ) who will do anything to find out and literally actually kill william herself—

#☽—— ⸢ ooc ⸥ #☽—— ⸢ wishlist ⸥ #f n a f / #murder mention tw #child death mention tw #'why wouldn't she find proof and report him' because she doesn't trust the world and DEF not the law #but also because she wants to kill him and you know what good for her #anyway this is prob the singular circumstance where i'd do an au where she lived #i think her dynamic with any william would be CRAZY if she started to suspect him #esp because i HC she went to the diner a LOT as a kid ( esp w/ her brother ) in any verse #because it was an escape from home life #and i'm not opposed to her ( in any verse again ) having had a decent relationship with william #because you know the manipulative bastard targets victims who need / want something or who have shitty lives #PS /heavily/ implies that with fruit m.aze and midn.ight motorist #tbh she's the definition of sb who needs any adult whatsoever to give a shit abt her #i think the idea that she finally sorta trusts him & obv he horrifically betrays that trust works well even in canon verse #on an unrelated note i think her and mike could've been friends or at least friendly given that i write cass as a bit older #than the other victims. i think she would see his whole 'demonized by the community thing' & Get It #because they don't generally like her much either. she's rebellious kinda has an attitude very androgynous in the 80s etc
