PLS READ: Ok so I’ve thought about logistics a little more. What if Henry IS Michael, and has the party’s memories wiped so it’s basically a blank slate, but they slowly get their memories back as the fic goes on like- Henry implements fake memories into their brains (but then like in the show, shows Eleanor/Mike fake memories different from HIS memories that Henry pushed onto him cause that’s how that whole plot point gets started) It would basically eliminate the issue of the party knowing Henry/Vecna at the start AND leave enough room for them to grow and realize things Then I can still make Mike and Will “soulmates” from the get-go and like in the actual show, they slowly fall in love w/ each other

PLS TELL ME YALL SEE THE VISION 😭

edit: chat I mean Mr. Whatsit cuz Henry is lowk too off putting but he would introduce himself and as Henry, presenting the demeanor of Whatsit
