    Summary

    “I-I didn’t say time loop,” Buck says. “How’d you know it was a time loop?”

    Eddie laughs, and it’s electric, not the soft, gentle thing that lights up Buck’s insides, but something charged like a trip wire. “You said dreaming about living the same day, that’s a time loop.”

    “No,” Buck says. “I said dreaming something that happens the next day.”

    Eddie groans. “It doesn’t matter. I just knew where you were gonna go with it, and-and yeah, I’ve had weird dreams before. You probably just need a little more sleep – didn’t you say you’d been having trouble?”

    This is not what he needed. Usually, Eddie would ask a few calming, leading questions, and get him somewhere more stable, but this… it’s like Eddie’s ten steps ahead of him and Buck doesn’t know how to catch up.

    OR

    Buck and Eddie get stuck in a time loop eight hundred miles apart.

    Summary

    Eddie listens to the voicemail later. Buck sounds like he’s at a grocery store, absentmindedly talking into the phone. “Oh, I guess you’re with your sisters. Sorry to miss you. I just wanted to tell you about this call we had last night, but I gotta hear your reactions, so, later. Okay, uh, I guess I’ll just call back. Or text.”

    It ends abruptly, without a goodbye. Eddie replays it a second time, closes his eyes as he sits in the truck. For a moment, he can pretend Buck is sitting in the passenger seat next to him. For a moment, Eddie is back in Los Angeles and his best friend is dragging him through the grocery store.

    The voicemail ends, Eddie opens his eyes, and the fantasy breaks. Eddie is still in El Paso, parked in front of the house he’s renting, and there’s no one in the passenger seat with him.

    Eddie moves to Texas. Buck moves into his house. There's a love story somewhere in here.

    Summary

    If Buck could go back to all those weeks ago and tell himself that this idea would place at the top of the list of his monumentally stupid ideas, he would do it in a heartbeat. He would knock some sense into his own head, or let Maddie do it for him.

    But here he is now, and a time machine, unfortunately, hasn’t been invented yet.

    Here he is now, with Eddie boring into his eyes after that. After realizing he’s been caught red-handed. Except, the implication Eddie’s just made means he’s been sitting on this. And, holy hell.

    Eddie breathes out, his chest puffing out noticeably.

    “Not so quick to answer when the tables are turned, are you?”

    ____

    OR Buck ends up asking Eddie the thirty-six questions to fall in love. And really, what’s the worst that could happen?

    Summary

    27 years after the summer of 1989, Bill Denbrough is still living in his parents' old house. When a boy ends up dead right at the corner of Jackson and Witcham, he knows it's time to call everyone home.

    The losers come back to Derry.

    This fic is my own interpretation of how I speculate Chapter 2 might have gone. It is the opposite of Chapter 2 compliant, there may be small nods but no real spoilers - instead I'm treating this as a sequel to the 2017 film and a part of my own verse.
