Summary
They had a fucking appointment.
And it’s not like it’s the first time Edward’s blown him off to chase whatever butterfly that’s caught in the wind that day. Certainly won’t be the last either. Edward’s countenance changes as swiftly as the weather patterns off the coast of New England– a sunny disposition when it suits him and a fucking downpour when it doesn’t.
Still, it’s different this time.
It stings in a way that Izzy isn’t used to, like a splinter just deep enough that he can’t pull it out with the edge of his teeth.

Or the one where Ed stands Izzy up, and Izzy accidentally stumbles upon the reason.

Summary
When Richie's career is in danger of falling apart, his manager sets him up with an all inclusive vacation to give him the spark of inspiration he so desperately needs, and what better way to do that then by getting drunk on the beach? What Richie isn't expecting is to step off the plane and into a winter wonderland.
Forced to spend the next two weeks in a Christmas themed town with nothing to keep him company except his anxious thoughts, Richie finds solace in a local bakery owned by Eddie Kaspbrak, a handsome man with a sharp tongue. Maybe it's his chocolate croissants that keep bringing Richie back for more or maybe it's Eddie's uncanny ability to make him feel alive again. Whatever it is, it'll take a Christmas miracle to get Richie to admit to himself that maybe there are better places to spend Christmas than in the closet.

Summary
Richie doesn’t sleep.
He’s not tired, not really. Sleep has never come easy to him, even when he was a kid. Too much anxious energy thrumming in his veins to sit still for more than a few minutes at a time let alone lie in a bed till morning. That hasn’t changed with age. He tells himself that’s why he stays up, staring at a blank word document as he tries to come up with some new material, his own material.
After Derry, he told his manager he wouldn’t perform unless it was with his own stuff. That had resulted in the termination of his ten year contract with the one person that managed to get him booked. But that’s okay. He can still make it work. He can be funny. He can be real with the audience. He can make them laugh without talking about all the women his manager said he's fucked. He can be honest. He can be funny. He can be real.Richie doesn't sleep. Richie doesn't take care of himself. Richie doesn't dream.

Summary
Eddie Kaspbrak isn't a normal kid. For years, his mother insisted he was sick, forced prescription after prescription down his throat and waxed poetic about the dangers of the world, but when she gets arrested for abuse, Eddie realizes it was all a lie. Now he's moving to a new town with an aunt he barely knows as everything he's ever known comes crashing down. He thinks he'll never find a place in the world until he meets the Losers. They adopt him into their club immediately and he loves them for it, all except one. Richie Tozier is a no good, foul mouthed brat with a penchant for pissing Eddie off. And what's worse is that Eddie knows he's hiding something from all of them, something bad, and he's going to be the one to expose him if it's the last thing he does.

Summary
They had a life together. They shared decades together, built on the foundation of their love and furnished with once in a lifetime experiences. He had lost Eddie when he left Derry as a cocky teenager and had almost lost him again to the monster that haunted them all. Like hell would he risk doing it for a third time.

“I think you fuck,” Silver says. By which he means, with great intent: I think you are human. I know you are human. I see you.

Summary
The core concepts had always seemed fairly simple to Stede: block like that, swing like this, try not to get stabbed. Izzy made it look infinitely more complicated and somehow, too easy. He moved like water, without hesitation.
Izzy decides Stede needs proper swordplay lessons.

Summary
“Richie,” Beverly admonishes, sounding exasperated, “you walked out of dinner. And not only that, you walked out after Eddie announced his engagement.”
“Bev, about three weeks ago he was thinking about leaving her!” Richie interrupts, and he knows he’s being louder than he should be, but he doesn’t care. “What the fuck happened, huh?”
Beverly sighs again, and there’s a long pause during which Richie gulps down another long sip of his beer before she finally says, “Then tell him the truth.”
Now it’s Richie’s turn to get quiet. He feels anxiety prickling at the back of his neck, turning her words over in his head. “Truth about what?” he asks lamely.
“About how you feel, Richie,” she answers.
