    Summary

    Richie examined him a moment before stiffly removing his arm from his shoulders. Eddie furrowed his brow slightly before straightening up and fixing his bags.
    “You feeling better?”
    “Yeah. Thanks, Richie.”
    Richie gave him a strange look, somewhere between concern, confusion, resentment, and fondness.

    -------
    After surviving IT, Eddie returns home and promptly has a midlife crisis. He is gay. He is in love with celebrity comic Richie Tozier. And he's showing up in West Hollywood with no warning, no direction, all of his belongings, and divorce papers waiting for his wife on the kitchen table back in New York.

    OR an exploration of Eddie and Richie's trauma, the way they cope with it (or fail to) and how the work of recovering from trauma can also be the work of unconditionally loving and being loved
