I Have A Love Hate Relationshp With Drawing The Stan O'War II - Blog Posts

Based on @jellynut's BillStill au and @mroddmod's art piece Rough Seas

So far, I'm working on an accompanying fic where Stan is thrown overboard and drowns, but he lives after Bill saves him... and the consequences that happen soon after.

I left a comment on mroddmod's post, but I'll put it here. It's basically the premise of the fic: "Okay, but now I'm thinking about the theory/au that Bill still exists in the depths of Stan's mind. Ford can't help Stan get back on board, or he's about to jump in to get him back when Stan all of a sudden is just chucked back onto the boat. Ford's confused as hell, but he hears "Stan" splutter and chokes out a "Not even a year in and you almost kill yourself, old man?" It's Stan's voice but there's a weird lilt to it. They later learn it was Bill who somehow managed to possess Stan the moment he passed out/drowned."

Although this isn't the scene I wrote above, I, for the love of me, could not get this specific scene out of my head even though I haven't written it yet. This takes place after Stan and Ford have had time to process the fact that Bill's alive and can communicate with Stan (that's why Ford isn't throttling him at this exact moment).
