Summary
“Well come on, tell me. Maybe I can help you.” Monica pulls him towards her, holding his hands gently. “Just cus we had sex doesn’t mean I don’t want to help you with your love life. And it’s not pathetic to be hung up on someone, you know that, right? Besides, you know I give good advice." She ends sternly, eyes narrowing at him.
Or,
After London, Monica and Chandler talk, learn that they're both in love with their roommates, and make a bet about who's better at matchmaking. Shenanigans and Tomfoolery ensue.

Summary
Joey's always known who he is, but knowing who you are and having the courage to share that with someone are two different things.
This will probably make more sense if you read part 1, but it's not necessary.

Summary
Joey steps out the door of his apartment. He smiles, waves slightly, and opens his mouth and–
“I need you to kiss me.”
Rachel cuts him off before he can start. This is what she needs. This’ll work, it has to work, and then everything will go back to normal, and she can face Ross and Monica again, and it’ll all be fine.

Summary
Joey reaches towards the tap, turning off the water, one hand still on Chandler’s knee, balancing.
“Okay, ya ready?”
Chandler sighs, and looks towards the tub. He can feel the warmth of the water from where he’s perched, steamy air inviting and enveloping him, but he can’t muster up the energy to move. To take his shirt off, much less undress completely. To slip into the warm water and hope that it washes away his sweat and his mopery.
But he can’t move.
OR,
Chandler's depressed, and Joey helps him by giving him a bath.

Summary
He finds it under the couch. Eddie’s not entirely sure how it got there, but he pulls it out and shakes it off, folding it and placing it on the counter, next to his binder of Hellfire notes (and song lyrics, and to-do lists, and cool concepts he needs to work on) so that he can’t forget it when he leaves tomorrow. It’s a beautiful coat, very obviously well-made and expensive, durable and sturdy, but also soft. Eddie’s also not entirely sure how Steve manages to keep losing/forgetting/leaving it at Eddie’s, but he does.
or, Selkie Steve keeps hiding his pelt at Eddie's

Summary
Bill jumps, snapping his attention over to the window, onto him, and Richie watches his eyes widen as he takes him in, as he pushes himself off the bed and scrambles to the window, as he gazes as if in a trance at the red Richie left behind on the glass. He fumbles to get the window open.
“W-what the fuck ha-happened to you?” he asks lowly. He looks all over Richie, wide-eyed and lost almost. For the first time, Richie wonders how he must look.
He opens his mouth to say it for the first time, voice raspy and cracked. To really accept it. To put it out into the universe. “I think I just killed Henry Bowers.”

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
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.
--
Or: Richie seeks cosmic help to save Eddie's life, and gets sent on a time-warp grand tour of his past in order to change his present

Summary
Eddie wakes up in greywater and he wonders which disease will kill him.
Well, that’s not wholly true. Eddie wakes up in greywater and thinks, in this order:
Shit.
What happened?
Where’s Richie?
Neck deep in sewage, it’s only then he wonders:
How many cases of cholera occur domestically every year? Six? Seven? What are the chances I’m one of them?
