    Summary

    Richie recarves the R + E on the Kissing Bridge, and then he sits down and talks for a while.

    What he doesn't know is that Eddie is listening.

    Or

    In the ghost world, you're tethered for eternity to the spot where the greatest act of love for you was shown. For Eddie, that just happens to be the R + E carving, even though he wasn't aware of its existence until he died.

    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

    THERE IS A WAY, Maturin hums.

    “What is it?” Richie asks. There’s a smallness in his voice that he has never known before.

    A SACRIFICE, Maturin informs him, voice a low rumble.

    “Take me, man,” Richie says, voice breaking. His hands tremble as he smacks his chest. “You can fucking have me if it brings him back.”

    NO, Maturin says. THAT IS NOT THE KIND OF SACRIFICE I REQUIRE FROM YOU.

    Summary

    But then Georgie saw it, down in the murky darkness of the gutter.

    It was a face. A pale face, skin cracked and flaky, painted with red lines in bright, clownish makeup. A flash of reddish-orange hair. And a smile that stretched too wide, too much, like it was lying somehow, like it didn’t belong.

    or Pennywise is not good, per se, but turtles do meddle sometimes.

    or Georgie makes a new friend.

    Summary

    Maturin whispered to the clown, their tone carrying a rare hint of compassion. "I give you a chance,” the turtle said, “To find a different path."

    Summary

    “Richie. Richie, it’s me,” he whispers, so softly that it’s almost a figment of his imagination. “Hey, it’s Eddie. I’m Eddie. I’m okay, Rich, and you’re okay, so just… please, stop saying shit like that. You’re—you’re scaring me.” He says that part like he’d rather do anything but admit such a thing. But then, as his eyes dart over Richie’s face, his expression shifts, the usual constipation twisting into something close to hysteria that he tries and fails to mask with outrage. “And stop shaking me, shitbag! I had to claw my way out of a fucking disaster zone and I’m really sore—”

    Richie doesn’t know how he knows it, that this is the one and only Eddie Kaspbrak, truly here in the flesh, but he does. Because it’s as if the piece of him that'd been unceremoniously ripped away has miraculously been sewn back into place, worn and faded and uneven and maybe the wrong way around, but still very much present.

    “Eddie,” Richie chokes, and the man he loves with all his heart is standing right in front of him, alive, and there’s no way he could make himself think otherwise.

    [Or: Stan lives, Eddie is resurrected, the Losers visit Georgia, and Richie gets everything he's ever wanted (plus more).]

    Summary

    Richie blinks at him, eyes unfocused. “Bill, what the fuck?”

    Bill shrugs. He thinks it would be a little redundant if he kept answering that question.
    ...
    Bill tries to bring his friends back. Somewhere else, someone else has the same idea. There's only one Turtle.

    This complicates things.

    Summary

    "He had tried to move on, really tried. In movies, the main characters always seemed to move on quickly, as if nothing mattered. After a quick montage with hopeful music and the occasional therapy session, the character would look up at the sunset with a smile in remembrance of their dead friend. God, if only it were that easy."

    - - - - - - - -

    Richie suffered the loss of his best friend and his long-time crush. Suddenly, he's given the opportunity to go back to the day before it all happened from some... Turtle god? Obviously he accepts, but saving two of the people he cares about most proves to be a daunting task.

    Summary

    Dying, on the whole, goes pretty much the way Eddie expected it to.

    (Except for the whole meeting a giant mystical turtle which sends him back to Derry in a body that's not human at all. Yeah, Eddie couldn't have seen that coming even if he'd tried.)

    Summary

    People usually have to pay for this kind of mental clarity. It's the kind of thing he sees promoted on billboards through expensive seminars, the kind of thing people who backpack around the world or spend a year meditating in a monastery talk about but all Eddie had to do was die. Now all that's left is to chase that feeling for the rest of his life - which is maybe easier said than done.

    Summary

    He wondered what would happen if he just sat Bill down and made him listen. If he did what he did best and talked.

    If he said: Hey Bill, I’m in a bit of a pickle because I’m actually from the future and I love Eddie so much it kills me, I love Eddie so much it hurts, I love Eddie so much that half the time I wanna puke and the other half I wanna cry but all the time I love him. In a big, dumb, gay sort of way, and I never stop. But I just saw Eddie die a thousand times and a Turtle from outer space (I think) sent me here to fix it and I need your help and I don’t know what to—
     
    “Richie? Eh-earth to Richie?” Bill had stopped walking, and was looking at him funny.

    “Hearing you loud and clear, ground control,” said Richie without meaning to, again on autopilot. He couldn’t help himself. He never learned how. “I’ve just disengaged hyper-speed and I’ve got a beautiful view of Uranus.”

    Bill looked at him for a moment, and then shook his head. Richie didn’t get a laugh, but he came close.

    Summary

    “Is yours beating yet?” Eddie asks of Stan.

    Stan raises a weary brow, pressing his fingers to his jugular. “No. Yours?”

    “Why would mine be beating if yours isn’t? We came back at the same time.”

    “I was mostly dead longer than you were mostly dead. Maybe it’s about that.”

    Eddie scowls, and then tests his pulse point. “Nothing. Does that make us zombies?”

    Stan purses his lips thoughtfully. “What’s your definition of a zombie?”

    “Undead.”

    “I don’t think we’re undead. We’d have to have been all the way dead to be undead. Were you all the way dead?”

    “Obviously not. Were you?”

    “I thought I was. Maybe I wasn’t. So, no, not zombies, just - maybe still partially dead?”

    Eddie grunts, scowl now directed at his coffee mug. “Comforting.” His gaze flicks up to Mike. “What should we do?”

    Mike shrugs, taken aback. “How should I know?”

    Summary

    “Eddie, who was washing himself off in the bathroom and muttering angrily about the leper, did in fact hear the honk, and walked over to his window to see what the issue was. That’s when he saw Richie clambering into his car with his bags and starting it. Eddie’s eyes widened.

    ‘That bastard!’”

    //

    In which Eddie catches Richie trying to leave Derry after finding his token, Richie confesses some fucked up shit and then some totally corny lovesick shit after remembering Stan’s speech and reading his letter after Eddie nearly dies, and there’s a cheesy, happy ending. It’s all garbled and only makes half sense, but in the end it’s just reddie in love
