Summary
Richie Tozier doesn't believe in miracles. Well, pre-clown amnesia from 1993 to about yesterday Richie Tozier didn't believe in miracles. But he does now. Defeating a demon clown twice, once at thirteen, will do that to a guy. But this is crazy. They're stood there, both of them, clean and tidy and incredibly alive. Which isn't possible! Richie had watched Eddie die, watched as he'd been ripped from his arms, impaled straight through the chest. And as for Stan, he hadn't even been in Derry, he'd died before they'd even stepped foot over the county line. But they're both here, and they're talking, and they haven't noticed the other five crowding the entrance of the Townhouse bar, covered in grime and muck and blood, staring at them in complete shock.

Summary
He knows where they’re going, though no one said it aloud. Even if he doesn’t want to look at them, or be with them right now, he knows this is part of it, deep down in his bones. This will close the circle. This has to be done. So he limps along with Stan under his arm, unable to even muster up a joke about rubbing his sweaty pit all over Stan's shoulder.

Summary
”Beverly Marsh - the fashion designer?”
“Yeah! That Bev. And Ben Hanscom, we can try him too. I don’t know the name of his firm, but it would be easy to google. Recently they built that BBC tower…” Eddie freezes, eyes widening as he stares directly at Dr. Jackson.
”Holy shit, I sound crazy, don’t I?” He sends her a defeated expression. “You don’t believe me at all. You think I made up some weird parasocial relationship with a bunch of random celebrities.”
She clears her throat. “You don’t sound crazy, Eddie. I don’t use that word. I often see people who struggle, and these friendships sound like they’re very real to you.”
”They sound real to me,” he parrots. “What a nice way to say they’re all in my head.”
***
Eddie comes home from Derry a different man, ready to make a clean break from his old life. He’s always been direct, so he tells Myra about recent events, so that she can understand why things have to change. Myra, however, isn’t about to let him go so easily. Now facing a psychiatric commitment, how can Eddie prove his competency, when everything that has happened to him recently is literally straight out of a horror novel? A story about living your truth.. mostly. -

Summary
“Eddie, who was washing himself off in the bathroom and muttering angrily about the leper, did in fact hear the honk, and walked over to his window to see what the issue was. That’s when he saw Richie clambering into his car with his bags and starting it. Eddie’s eyes widened.
‘That bastard!’”
//
In which Eddie catches Richie trying to leave Derry after finding his token, Richie confesses some fucked up shit and then some totally corny lovesick shit after remembering Stan’s speech and reading his letter after Eddie nearly dies, and there’s a cheesy, happy ending. It’s all garbled and only makes half sense, but in the end it’s just reddie in love

Summary
But then Georgie saw it, down in the murky darkness of the gutter.
It was a face. A pale face, skin cracked and flaky, painted with red lines in bright, clownish makeup. A flash of reddish-orange hair. And a smile that stretched too wide, too much, like it was lying somehow, like it didn’t belong.
or Pennywise is not good, per se, but turtles do meddle sometimes.
or Georgie makes a new friend.

Summary
He sits on the curb, in front of his best friend’s house he’d never been to before, ignores the rocks and bugs, the grit underneath his fingertips, and cries like the thirteen year old boy he once was. His feet are in the gutter and he kind of wishes he could melt into the sewer, fall apart in the gray water, maybe make his way back to Richie or Stan somehow.
Eddie makes it to California when Richie doesn't make it out of Derry.

Summary
“Stan?” Eddie asked, and his throat felt scratchy like he hadn't spoken in a long time.
And he doesn't know how he could tell. But it was. It was Stanley Uris. Tight brown curls, and a soft sweater, and that same pinched frown. It was Stanley.
Eddie felt fucking elated for a second, smiling, “Stanley? Shit, I’m so-”
And then, something settled under his skin -heavy like lead.
“You're…” Eddie breathed out, unable to finish his sentence. Because if he did, it would be real. He would be-
“Dead,” Stanley finished, “-Eddie, you're… Did it not work? Is It-”
“No, no, they-” Eddie let out a breath, “-they did it. I know they did. They were doing it when I…”
Stanley just seemed to relax a second, but then something settled onto him. And something shot through Eddie then. That's Stan… Stan's… I'm-
“Fuck this,” Eddie growled out, eyes darting along the landscape, “-no, fuck this. I'm not dead. No-”
“Eddie,” Stanley placed his hands on his shoulders, lips pressed into a heavy frown, “-you're dead.”
Or Eddie Kaspbrak dies, and decides to fight (the turtle) god about it.

Summary
Eddie's dead.
Richie's eyes eventually closed. Darkness taking over his vision, as he laid his head against the stiff pillow. He knew it'd hurt in the morning, or it should. Richie didn't feel shit anymore. He didn’t think he ever would again.
Even still, they shut.
And he dreamt of a turtle, something about him recognized it. Even though he'd never seen it before.
When he started coming to, his head did really fucking hurt, like a sharp pain. Not the dull ache it should have been. What the fuck was in these pillows?
"Richie-"
Richie's eyes snapped open, and he wasn't in the Townhouse anymore, not on the shitty bed, not fucking hungover like he should be. And he... And he-
"Eddie?"
Or Richie Tozier gets stuck in a timeloop.

Summary
The world doesn’t give you a manual on what to do when you see your best friend floating eight feet up in the air.
They don’t tell you anything about the sinking feeling in your belly, or the elephant sitting on top of your chest, or the cry that won’t break out of your throat. They don’t tell you that it doesn’t matter how much you know about fear, however many years you’ve spent treating it as an old friend; you’ll see your best friend in a trance, dying, and you’ll wonder if the human body was meant to feel this much fear all at once.
Eddie doesn’t know how to be brave, or maybe he’s just forgotten, but it’s little difference. Eddie doesn’t know how any of this works. Eddie can’t make something out of nothing– but maybe this isn’t nothing.

Summary
Seven children, merely 13 years old, standing at the doorway to hell, ready to face his brother. All Maturin can do is watch from the sideline and see the inevitable happen. 27 years of repressed trauma will drag them all down, only for it to end in the loss of three brave souls. But maybe, if only he could give a little nutch, so all of them enter the house together, so he can use their love for each other to fuel him, give him the strength he needs to guide them on a better path. Maybe all this heartbreak can be avoided indeed, the turtle thinks as he whispers into stanleys ears.
Or the loser club ventures into the multiverse to learn about the possible outcomes of their future.
