Summary
“I'm so sorry Gaz, this is– this isn't fair.” The deep, apologetic stare felt genuine enough. Gaz motioned for him to continue. “He said he heard people talking about it, at a bar back in Detroit, I don't know how people could possibly know about it but that's how he found out.” Roach started biting nervously at a hangnail.
“It wasn’t—” He stopped himself, jaw clenching hard. “It wasn’t like that.”
“I know,” Roach said immediately.

Summary
“It felt like someone had taken a piece of their childhood and smashed it into splinters. If it had mattered this much to him, Mike couldn’t begin to imagine what it had meant to Will.”
The summer after graduation was supposed to be about freedom, but for Mike Wheeler, it just feels like being stuck. It’s been almost two years since the fight for Hawkins ended and Eleven was lost, and while the rest of the world has moved on, Mike is still standing in the wreckage. Hopper and Joyce are busy planning their wedding, the Party is slowly drifting apart, and Mike is struggling to fit into a "normal" life that doesn't feel normal at all.
When he and Will find the ruins of Castle Byers in the woods, they decide to spend their final summer together rebuilding it, nail by rusted nail. But as the walls go up and the Indiana heat stretches on, Mike realizes they aren’t just fixing an old fort. He’s discovering feelings he should have understood years ago, and with the end of summer looming, he has to decide if he’s building a place to say goodbye, or a reason to stay.

Summary
Kyoto, 1980. After returning from college in the US, languid lion Naniwa Raion inherits his grandpa’s cherished machiya storefront and reopens it as a record shop specializing in cutting edge “New Music.” All he wants is to live free and easy like the surfers and hippies of California’s 60’s who he’s always idolized, but before he knows it a pair of bickering roommates hit the fast forward button on his plans for a slow life: Urufu, a frosty wolfess whose keiretsu heiress pedigree haunts her, and Taiga, a hot-blooded ex-bosozoku tigress with nefarious connections and attitude to spare. Their paws are full just running the shop and playing music together to draw in customers as the Animal Tracks House Band—that’s “Kemonon” for short—but the shop’s colorful clientele and prime location soon attract the attention of Taiga’s yakuza uncle, who quickly tasks them with a role in the family business. What starts as a simple side gig begins to unravel faster than a broken cassette tape, and Raion soon finds his store at the center of a sprawling smuggling scheme! A meticulously researched light novel that queues up a jazz fusion of genres, Kemonon is a totally original fable of the urban jungle of Japan’s bubble era.

Summary
When Christine comes down with chicken pox at thirty-six, Mary Beth is the one who stays.
It should be simple: soup, clean sheets, keeping her comfortable until the fever breaks.

Some things don’t go back the way they were.

Summary
Basically the story still follows the plot and events of the IT 2017, however when Patrick does NOT die like he does. It is mainly fluff and I would never end on angst because that's horrible. Henry has internalised homophobia and Patrick is gay. It's going to be from the perspective of Henry's surrounding and Patrick's so there is going to be very little mention of Pennywise and the losers gang (they still will be there dw LMAO) There will be a good ending and it will be a slow burn!
