Summary
When tragedy strikes the Losers Club, Richie Tozier finds himself heading to Hawkins, Indiana, to live with his aunt and her family. While there, the monster that destroyed the happiness of his hometown makes a reappearance, flourishing in the strangeness that is Hawkins.
Now, the Losers Club has to team up with the denizens of Hawkins to save not just the kids of this broken town, but themselves. Otherwise, It will strike, and they'll find that they all float in Hawkins. But the rest of the Losers are halfway across the country, everyone is in unfamiliar territory, and they've got to come to terms with the fact that not everyone can be saved.
Two worlds, many monsters, and several outstanding heroes join together in this story of fear, friendship, and finding out that the boogeyman is real after all.

Summary
Richie Tozier hasn't exactly had the classic teenage experience depicted in movies. He doesn't think many have defeated a demonic clown. Nor gaining large amounts of trauma from said experience. It didn't help his parents showed no care or interest in him, adding to that trauma. A tattoo of a number was also on his arm, which he didn't know the meaning of. He had no knowledge of where it was from, only vaguely remembering a doctor giving it to him when he was younger. It was only a few years ago that the abilities appeared, ones he didn't know how to control. The lack of understanding kept him in silence, refusing to admit he was a walking science experience. But, when he is suddenly forced to see his cousins in Hawkins, he finally has some understanding. Richie felt things could finally be normal, that's is until he started hearing about the death of multiple children and seeing some red balloons.

Summary
“Oh, he doesn’t have a shirt,” Eddie says, breathless.
“Or puh-pants,” Bill responds, matter of fact and amused.
Eddie glances down as Bill says that and his face goes bright red. He also purses his lips, maybe to keep himself from saying anything, maybe to keep himself from insulting Richie.
“Wuh-we wanted to make shuh-sure that you were okay,” Bill starts, “I mean, according to Eddie, you left pretty suddenly this muh-morning, and if you’re sick we thought you might need some dinner, or your huh-homework from today, or something.”
“I don’t need my homework,” Richie blows out a puff of smoke to his left, and continues, “And I’m not sick.”
Richie glances over at Eddie for a second. He’s still just… staring at Richie’s bare legs. Okay, so that’s something to think about later, maybe.
“Okay, so what’s wrong with yuh-you?” Bill sort of impatiently asks. “We’re huh-here to help you Richie.”
Richie hesitates for a second. “…It’s kinda hard to explain.”

Richie gets stuck in a time loop the day after his eighteenth birthday.

Summary
He was floating. Not like he would at the quarry, or the way he felt when he was with the Losers.
No, he wasn't tethered to anything. Freely floating with nothing to prevent him from drifting away. Weightless. Not in control.
He'd saved Mike from Pennywise, and he'd shouted loud enough to draw the clown's attention from his best friends for just long enough to keep them safe.
And then he was gone. Floating.
Or
Richie's Deadlights visions.
Title from Norma Tanega's song of the same name.

Summary
Richie stares at his cousin, both of them panting heavily.
"Under my pillow there is a journal," he starts breathlessly, "with names and numbers on the first page. You– You go home, Mike, you go back and find it; call Bill Denbrough, alright? Call him, tell him our twenty-seven years was bullshit. You tell him that It– IT," he emphasizes the name, "is back, and that I protected you. You run, and you tell him, okay, Michael? You tell him immediately, keep calling him until he picks up."
"Richie, I-I don't–"
"Go!"
Richie turns, meeting the face of his nightmares head on. It grabs his arms, smiling down at him mockingly. Richie bares his teeth in a restless snarl, struggling fruitlessly against It's grip.
"Richie Tozier... what a feast to start my new reign in this backwater town..."
"Think again, you ugly son of a bitch–"
Its face begins to contort, and Richie is helpless to do anything but go limp in the face of three living, dancing lights at the end of a long passage. Time seems to stretch for forever.
He Floats.

Summary
The Deadlights felt too real. Richie’s reality was mussed, and he couldn’t process that Eddie never actually died, nor could he process his feelings that he’d professed at the bridge under the impression Eddie was gone. But now that Eddie was in front of him, he had to fess up.

Summary
The thing was, when Richie hadn’t remembered the Losers, he had missed them. He had constantly felt like he was forgetting something, like he’d misplaced his keys or missed someone’s birthday. But then he remembered them, and Stan and Eddie’s losses ripped a hole in his chest.
But then, in a way that escaped his notice until it was too late, Richie forgot.
Or: Six months later, Richie forgets Derry. Then, slowly, he remembers.

Summary
All in all, it’s an ordinary night. That’s expected when things happen as they have, and there’s not much to do but hope that time will heal and he’ll settle into the way things are shaped up to be. It’s not even that bad once the sun has risen and any trace of sleep has been wiped through cold water and these dead hands aren’t that dead anymore. Dreams and nightmares are shapeless, ridiculous little things given enough time. Laughable, pathetic.
Except there are nightmares, out there, that are not going to become dreams no matter how much you beg for it.

Summary
“Hey, that’s okay,” Eddie keeps his tone patient. “It’s okay that you need help. That’s why I’m calling.”
Richie’s silent, then makes a struggling noise. “I wasn’t trying to bother anybody-“
“If you were bothering me, I’d tell you that you’re bothering me,” Eddie assures. “I always tell you when you’re actually bothering me, don’t I?”
“Yes.”
“Richie,” he steadies his breath, trying his hardest not to scare him away. “What’s the matter?”
The silence is long. “I can’t,” he says, sounding almost defeated.
Eddie bites his lip hard, knowing his next words are more than risky. “Can I come see you?”
Maybe it was an excuse to get away from his marriage. Maybe it was an excuse to be with Richie. Maybe it was because he was genuinely worried about his friend.
It was actually all three.
PROMPT/SUMMARY: Richie is super depressed from Derry 2.0 and dealing with what he saw in the deadlights so Eddie comes down for a visit

Summary
"You motherfucker," Eddie chastised and he was becoming immensely clearer.
Richie was frozen in place, trying to think of anything. Any way to fucking get away from the Kaspbrak wrath, and fuck, he didn't even think about the rejection part-
"Eds?" He questioned, innocently.
"You can't just tell someone you've been in love with them since you were fucking eight years old, and-" Eddie continued, ranging closer (Richie could see that he was pointing a finger at him), "-and fucking run away."
"Seven," Richie instinctively corrected, and Eddie stopped on his path, he could see his fuzzy features change (into what? He had no fucking clue), "-we met when I was seven."
He could see his mouth shift, he couldn't really identify what, before he spoke, "You didn't fucking love me as soon as you met me, jackass-"
"Ya ever heard of love at first sight, Eds?" Richie cracked back, but it was too genuine to be funny.
