Summary
“I think it’s kind of romantic to talk online,” Ben says. “Writing back and forth like long-distance lovers.”
“You think Reddit DMs are romantic?” Stan says. “With a guy I’m betting Richie’s never seen a photo of?”
“Sure,” Ben says. “Getting to know him heart-first.”
“Oh my god,” Richie says, pretending to gag. “You make it sound so gay. I’m homophobic now, actually.”

Summary
Eddie started the Basic Pitches’ 2021 season opener, their first game in nearly two years, with a foul ball. This wasn’t just any foul ball—it was a foul ball with the full force of 26 months of testosterone muscle behind it. Eddie had to assume that said testosterone muscle was why the ball made such audible contact with Richie’s face.

Summary
Eventually the zucchinis are all decimated and the Furbys are lined up how Bev wants them. Richie tucks his legs in and makes room for other people on the couch. When Mike sits next to him instead of Eddie, he tries not to be crestfallen. Being seated next to Mike is a blessing, and Eddie’s only two cushions away. Richie waits for Mike to get comfortable before plopping his legs in his lap so his toes are touching Eddie, anyway.
“Get your foot out of my armpit,” Eddie says, shoving Richie away. “What the hell are we watching?”
“I’m so glad you asked,” Richie says. For a moment, his stomach twists nervously. But the truth is, he knows he has nothing to be worried about, not anymore. “Who here likes to objectify men?”

Summary
Don and Kathy would move in together. They would have a dog or two and then inevitably, a small parade of adorable little brats who would call him Uncle Cosmo, and they would spend less and less time with him, not on purpose but busy with the rest of their lives, and ultimately Cosmo would learn to make his peace with it because he’d have no other choice and he would have to try to move on and not live too much in his memories. He could picture it so clearly, he figured if the songwriting gig with Monumental didn’t pan out, he could always return to the backwater circuit with a new act: The Amazing Cosmo of the Cosmos—ladies and gentlemen, he sees the future, he reads the stars, he silently pines for his best married pal and all the while tap dancing!
Don and Kathy inviting him along on their honeymoon, though—that part was a surprise.
