Summary
Beside him, someone stirs.
Eddie turns towards it, thinking of sleepovers with the Losers, of Richie knocking on his window at 10pm and crawling into Eddie’s bed when he lets him in.
His eyes adjust. It still takes a second.
“Morning, babe,” says a man, a full-grown adult man, in his fucking bed.
(Or, 14 year old Eddie gets a glimpse into what's coming.)

“Uh,” Mike says. “So - the last time we faced IT, we hurt it. Not bad, but enough to end the cycle early, right? We hurt IT, and it lost some energy. Now, IT’s making up for what we did by coming back early.”
“Wait,” Richie says slowly. “You’re telling me that the alien hellclown came back 14 years before it was supposed to because it’s snacky?”

“I’m love you,” Richie says.
Eddie groans.
“You’re never gonna let me live that down,” he says. “Is this it, huh? We’re gonna be in rocking chairs and you’re gonna croak Hey Eds! And I’m gonna be like What? And you’re gonna be like I’m love you. Like it’s still funny after 50 years.”
“It will be,” Richie says, instead of you think we’ll be together in another 50 years?

Summary
“Oh fuck,” Richie moans. “Please don’t let it be a dead body, I will so vomit.”
But now that he can see it better, the stripe of skin that's peeking out of a sock is too smooth to be human, it reminds more of a—
"Doll."
The word leaves his lips with a not small dose of relief. He hooks a finger under the sheet that covers it and, keeping as far away from it as possible, he lifts it up and away.
There's a boy underneath. Well, it's a doll, Richie wasn't wrong about that, but it looks like a boy, roughly Richie's age. The Uncanny Valley effect is difficult to ignore: the face of the doll is alarmingly realistic, and so are the brown locks of its hair and the proportions of the body. He keeps waiting for it to blink its eyes open.Richie waits. It doesn't blink.
Until one day, it does.
(Or: Richie is lonely, Eddie is an automaton rotting away in Neibolt House, and the Turtle decides to play matchmaker in a very unorthodox way.)

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.- Language:

Summary
“Ah, Eds, you never disappoint.”
“You can’t say that, we’ve only met, like, three times before today.”
Richie, who had taken his phone out of the pocket of his seasonally-inappropriate leather jacket, and was fully engrossed in texting someone, tsked loudly. “Uh-uh. Four times.”
“No, three.”
“Four. There was JFK, your wedding day, which,” he glanced up, “yikes, that time you stole my taxi—”
“I was running late! And we split the cab!”
Richie waved him off, typing something on his phone. “And...” he trailed off. After a moment he looked up again, “huh, I could’ve sworn there was at least one other time.”
(In which, Richie and Eddie keep running into each other, over and over again, during the 27 years)

Summary
“You need to wake up now,” Stan says softly. “This isn’t real.”
“I know, but I can’t,” Richie sobs. “I don’t want to be here.” Not again. Never again. It is dead, why is It still haunting him?
Stan fixes him with one of those looks of his, the one where he can see his every thought as if it were written on his face. “That’s not true, Trashmouth.”

Alternatively: We all know Richie gets caught in the Deadlights, but do we really know what happens after?

Guess The Times Like These Remind Me That I’ve Got To Keep My Feet On The Ground by Siriuslyjames03

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.

"LOSERS! PARENTS! GEORGIE! YOU HAVE ALL GATHERED HERE TODAY TO WATCH A DUOLOGY OF 'FILMS' ENTAILING THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE RESISTANCE FORCE KNOWN AS THE LOSERS CLUB AND THE MURDEROUS CLOWN KNOWN AS PENNYWISE!"
"Did you just say 'murderous clown'?" Richie's mom, who's the only adult in the world cool with them calling her by her first name, Maggie asks with wrinkled eyebrows.
"I told you so!" Richie shouts at her. "I. Told. You. So." Maggie lifts her hands up in surrender.
"I'm sorry, when did we move past the talking turtle?" Eddie asks.

Losers and Parents and Georgie watch the movies! Yay! Seriously though, these kids are watching themselves go through their own childhood trauma. It's a fucking trip.

Eddie makes another noise, not quite a scream but not anything else either.
Stan drops his hand.
“Hey, Eddie,” he says. “Welcome to the peanut gallery. I wrote you a letter, but I guess you won’t get it now.”
(Or, Eddie and Stan stick around as ghosts after they die. Unable to make themselves known to the other Losers, they have to find other ways to communicate.)

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.

“Uh, Spaghetti?” Richie waves a hand in front of his face, looking worried now. “Hello? Do you want to let me know whatever it was that was so important you had to drag me awake for it or -”
“I have a turtle in my pocket that speaks to me in my head and is possessed by Bruce Springsteen,” Eddie blurts out. “Also I think it may be God.”
Richie stares blankly at him.
“What,” he asks flatly, “the fuck.”
“Or a god, at least, I don’t know,” Eddie continues, “Either way, I think it was the one who brought me back to life, so. You know. The chances are very good.”

It's been forty years. Eddie Kaspbrak is just trying to make it out of the river.

“I’m not sure I know,” Bill replied, “but I think w-we’re all childless. Is that ih-it?”
There was a moment of shocked silence.
“Yeah,” Mike said. “That’s it.”
But that’s in a different universe. In this one, only five of the seven losers are childless. In this one, Stanley Uris throws out every razor he owns and books a flight to Bangor before he can change his mind or come to his senses, and he kisses his wife and his three kids goodbye on his way out the door.
And about twelve hundred miles away, Eddie Kaspbrak is already well over halfway to Derry when he pulls over on I-95…
… and he finds his nine-year-old daughter hiding in his trunk.

“I’m, uh,” Richie tries. He waves his hands at him, like Adrian’s going to get it by osmosis. One time Richie heard a lesbian say that meeting another gay person was like being in a foreign country and running into someone that knows your mother tongue. You run into them and they say hello and it’s like coming home: that recognition, that immense relief, the solidarity.
