Lost Time, Found Again - Willy Wonka x Reader

You and Willy Wonka were once inseparable, a peculiar pair bound by friendship, laughter, and the kind of understanding that doesn't need to be spoken aloud. But one day, he vanished without a word, chasing dreams that didn't seem to include you.

Years pass. Your younger brother Charlie wins a golden ticket, and though the world sees it as a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, you feel a storm quietly brewing. Because behind those factory gates, past the candy and wonder, waits the man who left you behind.

You try to play the stranger, to smile and pretend you've never known the chocolatier in purple velvet. But Willy Wonka has never been one to give up so easily, not on dreams, and certainly not on you.
