    Summary

    "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.

    XXX

    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.

    Summary

    Edward Kaspbrak had a good life. He had a wife who loved him, a steady job, and a good house. He wasn’t unhappy, and things were fine. What he wasn’t expecting was for a social worker to call him one June morning in 2013. What he definitely wasn’t expecting was for the social worker to say: “Mr. Eddie Kaspbrak?”

    “Edward, yes.”

    “We’d like to speak with you regarding your child, when would be a good time to meet with you?”

    or: the one where Pennywise's magic didn't completely work, and a child turns out to be the Loser's Club's greatest asset.

    Summary

    It’s one thing to hear about defeating an evil shapeshifting fear-powered alien—twice—from your parents and their friends, but it’s another thing entirely to have been sent back in time a good twenty years on a mission to get your aforementioned parents together by some deity that looks like a turtle and chose to appear to you in the middle of an AP Chem class.

     

    The obligatory time-travel fix-it.

    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.)

    Summary

    “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?”

    Summary

    If true love's kiss can wake you from The Deadlights and love declarations can save you from Pennywise's madness, then it stands to reason that re-carving initials into the Kissing Bridge after defeating It--the culmination of a long-standing true-love-since-they-were-kids story--summons enough Uncle Stevie turtle magic to save an only mostly dead Eddie Kaspbrak.

    Also includes references to vintage Return of the Jedi valentines, Bryan Adams lyrics, Pound Puppies, and, of course, a Street Fighter tee shirt that is available at Macy's, not Target, but artistic license.

    (Almost) All of King's Maine canon exists here. I slipped in some references to Castle Rock and Desperation/The Regulators because I like them so much.

    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

    “Nobody is dying tonight,” Patty tells him. The words ring in her ears like bells, clear and sharp and joyful. Stanley pulls her down strongly, until their chests are flush. The carpet of his chest hair scratches at her and she giggles.

    “No,” Stanley agrees. “No, nobody is dying tonight.”

    Or: Stanley Uris misses a phone call and everything works out all right.

    Summary

    'Richie lay back down on his not-bed and got under his not-covers. He wasn’t sure why he was compelled to do so, but it seemed right. “Alright, turtle-god-friend, let’s go.” He closed his eyes and felt a wave of pressure fold over him, and as he was pulled into some state of not-sleep, he hoped that the Richie there would get everything he wanted, and that the Richie here would remember to buy a new mattress.'

    Summary

    “It’s like we always say: Happy endings are clichés used to distract people from how shitty life is.”
    “Maybe we should stop saying that, it’s kinda a downer,” Richie joked half-heartedly.
    “Well, you did raise me to be a realist, dad,” the girl replied with a smile.

    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

    He has a crush on Eddie.

    He thinks.

    It’s weird, because he didn’t used to like Eddie, and he doesn’t really know when he started to. But thinking about it now, it’s undeniable that that’s what it is—a crush. He looks at other boys, like Bill and Stan, and thinks about how he wants to be like them. He looks at their shoulders and hips and waists and he wishes his looked like theirs. He looks at Eddie’s and thinks about how much he’d like to put his hands there.

    A story about coming to terms with your gender and sexuality, and never getting over your middle school crush.

    Summary

    Richie knows a lot of things after running out on Stan's funeral. He knows he can't stand the clawing sympathy of his friends, no matter how well-meaning. He knows Patty Uris is trying to piece together the circumstances leading to her husband's sudden suicide. He knows Stan remembered more than the rest of them about what happened in Derry. He knows the turtle is dead.

    Oh, and he knows there is a time portal in the back of a diner in Lisbon Falls.

    (Yes, this is the 'Richie and Patty team up and yell at Maturin' fic I've been promising to write for a solid 2 months now.)
