   Summary

   It is said that when one refuses to forgive, it is like drinking poison yourself and expecting the other person to die. But when one had been drinking poison their whole life trying to forget, as they watch their past cloud their present and muddy the path to their future...

   Perhaps one does not have to forgive or forget the past to be able to move forward.

   Or, the man called Willy Wonka finds his heir and is subsequently faced not only with all of the things he wishes to pass on to young Charlie Bucket, but also all of the things he would really rather hide from his new apprentice. This is the story of how he learns to navigate that.

   Plus a M/M WW/OC side story in chapter 7
