Summary:
Wilson has just finished up his first major touring gig, and before heading back to LA has decided to come back home to Texas for the summer. He has reasons—he wants to see his friends, he wants to bring himself back down to earth, and…he has something he needs to say to Brando. Will has a postcard that needs to find its way to Bran, as well as his brown racer jacket that he needs to return.
Will also needs to know where he and Bran stand after the fight that has drifted them apart for the last nine months. The night that they both got reckless and let the wishbone between them break. Will hopes beyond hope that Bran is in the mood to see him again—the anxiety of losing him for good after that night threatens to eat him alive.
They say that for your wishes to come true, the wishbone needs to be broken. But what happens when breaking the wishbone actually dooms you? Is it possible to re-write your fate, to reconcile, to heal, if you join forces and mend the cracks?
TW that this fic contains graphic depictions of violence such as child abuse & homophobia, as well as implied discussion of self-harm. Please read with caution if these things upset you.
