Summary
Have you ever instantly regretted meeting someone? Unfortunately, that’s not how it was with Boris. Theo didn’t learn to regret it until at least the second time they met. Thinking back, instant knowledge of what was to come would knock him on his ass, but instead they had to have a meet cute without Theo’s accurate knowledge nor consent, and what was he supposed to do about that other than let himself meet cute.

Summary
Eddie isn’t dead. That’s the most important thing, the only thing really. Richie wants to scream it from the rooftops, to call everyone he knows and tell them to put their phone on speaker, volume all the way up. But he can’t, so he writes it on a script and reads it like a lie instead. Richie wonders if Eddie would be proud: he’s writing his own material for once.
Pseudo “Alice Isn’t Dead” Au where Richie sees Eddie on a news broadcast and then another and then another, always at the scene where bad things happen, always watching. So Richie decides to pack up his whole life and search for Eddie, documenting everything in a fiction podcast in hopes that someone will know it’s not fiction. To those who know, there has to be a way to get someone back.

Summary
It was in my seventeenth year that I took my studies more seriously. That is to say that I started taking Adderall and joined a club like they always asked me to. Literature and poetry weren't graduation requirements of mine, but the teacher of this particular class never made an effort to talk about my past with me, and I was grateful. For his class I wrote what I thought would be my first and last love poem. Of course, I never said “love you” in person, nor who it was that I loved, but it was enough for me that the professor could assume it was someone like Pippa.
A coming of age story taking place in the years between when he loses Boris and when he meets him again.

Summary
'Everyone seems to be jumping on the bandwagon to liking Richie Tozier. It seems a bit unfair to me because I’ve liked him this whole time. You know, I want some clout for that. Yeah, you’re a gay ally for following him back on Twitter, but I liked him before we all had the excuse of him being a homosexual. Okay, so maybe not the whole time, but since 2008.'
Amy disagrees, but her job is to edit his writing and analyze whether the joke is funny, not to pass judgment on her boss’s choice in friends.
Richie Tozier, you either love him or you hate him, and between 1995 and 2015 there are a grand total of 5 people who love him. That, and the bodega lady. All told through people who hate him.

Summary
"Yeah, I don't know how people are so shocked that I'm gay. People who have seen my shows before are shocked. I feel like most people in the audience just looked up at me and were like 'Yeah. That man has never had sex with a woman.'
"Just realized it's because most of my audience hadn't either. For them, it must have been like looking into a mirror. They looked into it and thought: if only I could be rich. See, when they talk about their fake girlfriend and everyone laughs, they aren't getting paid for it. For me though, it was more of a 'it's definitely normal for a grown man to use 3-in-1 shampoo,' and an 'I think I'm doing pretty well for myself' when I saw another 40 year old balding dude who definitely uses the 5-in-1."
It's Richie "Trashmouth" Tozier's half hour stand-up special! This time, it's about more than chasing pussy—it's about chasing dick.
