Summary
With all of it out there, Matty becomes obsessed with finding Katherine and ending this war himself, even if he still doesn't know who she really is.
Ethan, after weeks of telling himself that everything would be fine, now has to face the fact that if he wants things to go back to the way they were, he needs to be able to let them go before he pushes Matty away forever, all while dealing with the true consequences of his betrayal.
Facing down his past and everything in between, Johnson finally has to make the choice: will he continue to fight for his lovers, or will Burt finally break him and make him into the man he tried to when he first brought him to the Bang-a-Rang, and can everything still go back to the way it was, or will broken trust shatter everything they've built in their desperation to fix things?
Part 3 of You Make Me Wanna Stay, this is my version of how I think season 2 might've gone, had we ever gotten it. It's strictly from the Phoenixes' POVs, it's even angstier than the previous season, and I hope you all enjoy this ride down the river as the Three River Phoenixes attempt to make things right.

Summary
When Ethan Hart is sent to the Bang-a-Rang to await help from Doris, he doesn't expect to fall in love with Matty, the River Phoenix who recruits him.
When Matty recruits Ethan, he never expects new feelings to arise for anyone other than Johnson, the revelation hitting much too soon after a betrayal from months ago sent him spiraling.
When Johnson sees his lover start to feel for someone else, he tries to put a stop to it before he loses him forever, but does he really have to? Do they all even want that, and can a promise be held and strengthened instead of broken for once?
Part 2 of You Make Me Wanna Stay, this is a complete canon rewrite of season 1 strictly from the Phoenixes' POVs, following the three as a previous relationship is tested, and their new relationship is challenged at every turn as Ethan discovers what it means to be loved by Matty and Johnson while his loyalty to Doris wavers.
