Summary
eddie was a freshman at boston university of the arts, majoring in dance with a concentration in ballet. he went to sleep early, woke up earlier & took nothing for granted.
he fucking hated his dorm neighbors, loud, obnoxious idiots who got drunk all the time. they didn't even know where the library on campus was. he didn't have any idea how the three of them, especially the one with curly hair, even GOT into that school.
“piano prodigy,” the tall one explained “got magic fingers”
eddie nearly punched him
& he didn't believe him, nobody on their floor believed richie tozier could have been a prodigy of anything, especially when he slept through midterms & mixed up the dates for finals. when eddie heard the gossip he was relieved, he was overjoyed. he thought they’d kick him out & he would finally get some goddamned peace and quiet on his floor - and more time to rehearse.
until, first day of class in january when his teacher walked in with an overzealous expression “class, we have a student who will be joining us this semester for an extra credit opportunity. please welcome your new rehearsal pianist, richie tozier.”
oh.
oh no.

Summary
Mike Wheeler was a little afraid of Jane Hopper, but that was only really because Dustin didn't know where to stop when discussing rumours.
OR
She stabbed a kid with a screwdriver and feels exactly zero remorse.

Summary
El Hopper feels like she has the worst luck when it comes to her laptop and she’s completely lost track of how many times she has to call the campus tech center for help. The only good part of all of it? The mysterious voice of the guy who always seems to answer the phone. Even though she has no idea who he is or even what his name is, El can’t help herself when she feels herself falling for him. Surely one of these days she’ll get to talk with him for a different reason, but for now, she’s stuck with midnight calls and a laptop with a flashing white screen.

Summary
"So, why are you traipsing around my neighbourhood at-" Eddie glances at his wristwatch, "-nearly 10pm?"
"'Traipsing'. Good word," Richie said. Then he shrugged. "Spontaneous sleepover? My mom made those tiny chicken drumsticks. The sticky sauce ones, which I know you hate, because they make a mess, but, hey, which I know you also love, because the sauce is that weird barbecue-chutney combination. The one my mom makes specifically because you complimented it that one time. Not that I mind, though. That sauce is the tits. Why are you looking at me like that?"
-------
in which Eddie doesn't actually need a reason to be invited over, Richie, just invite him. chrissakes.

Summary
“Well, I mean…” Richie starts, as if this entire situation was like any other reasonable discussion he’s had. “We can, if you really want to. I’m game.”
Eddie chokes on the coffee that was still running down his throat. He looks at Richie as if he’d just grown several heads. Surely it couldn’t be this simple, right? “Um, what?”
Richie remains nonchalant. “Roommates with benefits, you said? Not the worst idea ever.”
(Or, Eddie and Richie are roommates in college and one day decide to start casually hooking-up. Things go about as well as expected.)
UPDATE 20/09/19: for everyone asking, I will be posting the final chapter within the next few weeks. It has been a long time coming and I can't thank you all enough for your patience and understanding. All of your comments have inspired me to finish it and I hope you all like it. Big love, talk soon xx
