    Summary

    Billy reaches out, jabs a finger under Steve's chin to get his mouth closed. It works, if only out of surprise.

    "Beg, pretty boy." He holds Steve's chin. His thumb strokes his cheek, pinches the skin some. Steve wants to bite his finger off. "Then maybe I won't break your ass in two. Maybe I won't give everybody a reminder of what it means to lie to me, every time they look at what used to be pretty boy, King Steve Harrington. King of the cow shit."

    For the kids, Steve tells himself. Over and over again.

    Otherwise he'll do something he'll probably regret.

    "Please, Billy," he grits out. "Please leave. Your sister is safe here, I promise. I'll do whatever you want."

    Summary

    After Derry, Richie is spiraling. He's drinking too much, sleeping too little, and still trying to get a handle on his grief and guilt, so maybe it makes sense that he's been experiencing things that seem... odd: cold spots, shadows in the mirror, recurring nightmares where Eddie tries desperately to tell him something.

    He does his best to convince himself that he's just imagining it, but then he gets a phone call from Patty Uris and discovers that he's not the only one being haunted by a presence that can't seem to leave.

    Together, they go back to Derry to face their ghosts, both literal and figurative.

    Summary

    It’s like there’s something fundamentally broken in the part of Eddie that knows how to reach out to other human beings.

    He thought that, anyway, until he came back home.

    Summary

    Eddie knows he should refuse. He should walk away from this guy with wild hair and thick glasses that don’t obscure the way his eye squints when he grins. He should get a cab back to his hotel, text his fiancée back, take an aspirin, and go to sleep. Tomorrow, he’s flying back to New York. This was a mistake, a single deranged misfire of his usually iron self-control, and the last thing he should do is indulge it any further. He knows that.

    Or: a week before he's supposed to get married, Eddie hooks up with a stranger in a bar, and it changes the trajectory of his life.
