In a world where complicated family dynamics clashed with supernatural abilities, Wiccan, aka Billy Maximoff, found himself at odds with his mother, Wanda Maximoff. Ever since he could remember, Wanda had been more preoccupied with her own struggles and the weight of her past than with truly being there for her son. Her relentless battles, the trauma of her losses, and the all-consuming quest for power had created a distance that left Billy feeling invisible, like a background character in his own life.
Wanda had her moments, of course. When she was present, she would try to be a mother, but it often felt forced, as if she were trying to convince herself as much as Billy. Despite her immense power and intelligence, Wanda could be cold, her love distant and transactional. To Billy, it was clear she was haunted by her past and driven by her own agenda. In the end, it seemed that nothing he did could ever be enough to command her full attention.
Meanwhile, there was Y/n—a wild card and a former foe who'd given Billy a run for his money more times than he could count. Their relationship had started as one of hostility, but something shifted over time. Y/n, though rough around the edges and notoriously chaotic, had shown Billy a sense of genuine care. She had a way of noticing the little things, of listening when he ranted, of treating him as more than just his mother's son or a superhero-in-training. It was messy, twisted, but strangely real. She might have threatened his life more times than he cared to remember, but Y/n had also been there to help him pick up the pieces.
So when his eighteenth birthday came and went with barely a word from Wanda, Billy made a decision. He was done trying to win his mother's approval, done feeling like he was always in the shadows of her past. He wanted a life that felt like his own, and as reckless as it was, moving in with Y/n seemed like the only choice. He knew it would piss his mother off to no end, and frankly, that was part of the appeal. He was ready to embrace the chaos, to get out from under Wanda's shadow and make her finally face the consequences of her absence.
With that in mind, Billy showed up at Y/n's door with a packed bag and an unspoken question in his eyes. Y/n, with a knowing smirk, let him in, offering him a beer and a sarcastic remark about how much trouble they were about to cause. Billy didn't care—he felt more at home there, in the mess of her life, than he ever had in Wanda's immaculate world.
In the weeks that followed, the two settled into an unconventional rhythm. Y/n was unpredictable and unapologetic, a whirlwind of bad habits and sharp humor, but she gave Billy something Wanda never had: attention, real and undivided. She didn't try to mold him into something he wasn't or push him toward some grand destiny. Instead, she simply let him be, flaws and all, and, in her own way, she cared.
As word of Billy's decision spread, Wanda was furious. She tried to reach him, spinning her words with gaslighting tactics that made him doubt himself, questioning his decisions, hinting that he was selfish or foolish for leaving her. But for once, Billy didn't bite. He'd spent too long waiting for her approval, trying to bridge the gap between them. Now, he had someone who accepted him for who he was, someone who didn't try to control him or use him as a piece in a bigger game.
Living with Y/n wasn't easy; they clashed constantly, their arguments sometimes erupting into magical displays that left scorch marks on the walls. But for the first time in his life, Billy felt like he was truly free. And as he continued to distance himself from Wanda, he found strength in knowing he didn't have to face his battles alone—not with Y/n at his side, ready to defend him in her own unpredictable, chaotic way.
In the end, their lives were far from perfect, but they were real, and that was more than enough. For the first time, Billy didn't need his mother's love to define him. He was his own person, finding family in the most unexpected places, finally stepping out of Wanda's shadow and into a world that he could call his own.
