    Summary

    These are not chronological nor necessarily connected but they all sort of coexist as versions of the same V. And makes the others easier to find if you should want to for some reason.

    Summary

    "I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.

    Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.

    An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

    Summary

    The day you get the most important email of your life, there’s a new black skidmark on the wall of the stairwell, and you know exactly whose fault it is.
    “Margaret,” you intone to the harried, wild-haired woman in the lobby.
    She sighs at you as she tries to jimmy her mail key loose. “I know.”
    It wouldn’t even be that bad if the kid would just skateboard outside. Or get good at skateboarding. Either of those things. Maggie’s a nice lady, though, and she’s had “trying my best” scribbled all over her since they moved into 6B maybe eight years ago. So you try not to be a dick, even if her son is a gold-standard pain in the ass. He’s good for three things: smells, noise, and reminding you how big Eddie must be by now.

    Summary

    "I'm just saying. You haven't shut up about wanting to fuck a stranger since you left Myra,” Bev says. “He's a stranger who is down to fuck. What are you twiddling your thumbs for?"

    Eddie sighs. He chews on a bit of soggy bell pepper and considers it. Finally he says, "I just worry it'll be bad."

    Bev laughs. "Sex with strangers often is."

    "Oh, great! That's just what I wanted to hear!"

    "C'mon, Eddie," she says. "What's the worst that could happen?"

     

    OR:

    Eddie and Richie try to have a one-night stand and get snowed in together.

    Summary

    Between the two of them, Richie and Eddie have never had: an ounce of chill, good timing, or a single productive therapy session. So why start now?
    __

    Post-movie domesticity, alone in the woods.

     

    Because the thing about stories is, we accept the endings we think we deserve. Or they deserve. Or something.
