Stenbrough AU//Flying
AU where Stan and Bill don’t know each other but they end up sitting next to each other on a plane from the US to England (Bill because he’s going home and Stan because Richie went on tour and he’s just trying to be a good friend and surprise him by showing up) and like Stan is sure he should know Bill but he’s not sure why and anyway Bill thought he’d get some writing stuff done because it’s a long flight but this new stranger is terrified of flying.
So they get to talking and even when Stan gets distracted and asks Bill doesn’t tell him that he’s William Denbrough, the author.
“Why don’t you like flying?”
“Birds are meant to fly. Not us.”
“You like birds?”
“Yes.”
*Stan talks to Bill about birds to distract himself and Bill is actually fascinated by how much this guy knows*
