    Summary

    Richie's plan was simple.
    Step 1: Find a man.
    Step 2: Convince that man to pretend to be his husband.
    Step 3: Prove to his high school bullies that he's not a complete failure.
    It should have been as easy as that... but things get a little more complicated when Richie finds out who exactly is going to be playing his husband for the night.

    Summary

    “You might wanna sit down for this.”

    Richie eyed the chair, mind working overtime.

    “Why?” he demanded, borderline hysterical. “Is it gonna bite me? Is it gonna drag me to hell?” He waved a shaking hand at it. “Is it gonna turn into a pile of human teeth or fucking spiders or used needles or something?!”

    Stan made a considering face.

    “Okay, yeah… can’t blame you for not trusting this situation.”

    The room shook and Stan had the gall to just look annoyed at it.

    “Listen,” he continued, looking up at him. “You’re still in the deadlights, Rich.” He actually looked like he pitied Richie. “You're still in Neibolt.”

    Pile of human teeth be damned - Richie dropped into the beanbag chair.

    “Shit,” he breathed.

     

     

     

    A story about surviving (just barely), getting worse (pretty spectacularly), and getting better (with help).

    Summary

    Richie Tozier suffers.
    Too scared to let anybody know, too scared to face the tsunami of chaos inside of him which towers over him like a big shadow.
    He only ever runs away. Keeps it a secret. Bottled up.
    He thinks nobody notices his tired eyes, his red, scratched open knuckles, the bruises he wears to school every now and then.
    But he is not unnoticed.
    Because,
    Eddie Kaspbrak does. He does notice it.
    The boy who means the world to him. The only person who could possibly save his heart from rotting.
    And when Richie thinks he's all alone with his cigarette, suffering in silence while nobody notices, Eddie is there.
    And he makes a promise.

    Or, in which Richie is depressed and too scared to tell anybody until the surface he tries to keep up, cracks and he breaks down.
    In which Eddie is his life saver, his only hope.

    Summary

    Sometimes Richie felt empty. Some days he woke up with glazed over eyes, and hair that was a mess, and a gaping hole in his chest, and some days he was fine until some kind of switch inside of him flipped and he suddenly shut down, unable to feel anything through the thick haze surrounding him; either way he could never see it coming. Some days his head felt like it weighed a million pounds and his skin felt tight and his face felt fake.

    Days like those, Richie didn’t really feel up to living. Days like those, Richie wasn’t in control, not really. Days like those his body dragged itself out of bed and through his daily routine like some kind of puppeteer; he was on autopilot. Days like those it felt like he was trapped somewhere inside of himself- somewhere cold and dark and completely alone. He felt like he was trapped, and needed someone to break him out of himself, only he didn’t really even care enough to shout for help.

    It was one of those days.

    Summary

    Richie doesn’t let what his friends say bother him much, but when you just try to talk to them they beep beep you before you can even open your mouth. That gets to you. It makes you feel worthless, trash, like you could disappear and no one would care.

    Summary

    “Now, how many of you know what consent is? Raise your hand if you know.”

    Very few students raised their hands, but Richie was mildly startled to see Eddie, Ben, Stan and Bill raise their hands. It almost made him raise his own just to fit in with the group, but he was so surprised that he felt frozen.

    Eddie was giving him a look, as if silently asking if he was trying to be funny, which just made Richie feel even more lost.

     

    OR: Richie realizes guys can be assaulted by girls, and remembers something terrible that happened to him a year prior. Thankfully, he has friends to help him through it (especially a certain redhead who has no problem punching said-girl in the nose)

    Summary

    The thing is the Losers knew Richie’s parents weren’t the best, but no one knew how bad it actually was, because Richie hated talking about them and none of them had actually met his parents, thinking about it, the losers hadn’t even been in his house, except of course Eddie. Yeah, Eddie had been in his house a few times, but it was only his room and not for long. So no the Losers didn’t know anything about Richie’s parents, until one night it gets really, really, bad and Richie decides to go to Bill’s house and ask for help.

    OR: Richie finally decides to open up and the losers are there for him, it takes some time and reassuring but eventually he gets there.

After the Summer of The Murder Clown, Richie really didn't want anything to do with that town or the people there -- even if it meant losing his only friends -- so he left without telling those friends what happened, changed his name as soon as he got to Hawkins, and began his new life as Mike Wheeler.
    or --
    People in Mike's life keep finding out things from his past that he was hoping to keep a secret forever. It was only a matter of time before people from his past also showed up.
