    Summary

    “What the fuck is that face for?” Stan asked nervously. Eddie titled his head and raised one eyebrow, “What?”

    “That description! Tall, cheekbones, curly hair? Those are your most prominent features. That sounds just like you!” Eddie explained and Stan blanched.

    “So? You want me to pretend to be his blind date?” Stan asked him, sounding incredulous. Eddie nodded.

    “Yes!”

    Summary

    Richie had no idea what to expect when Stan and Patty asked him to be their daughter's godfather, but it definitely wasn't becoming the part-time dad to a newborn.

    Summary

    Eventually he was told to go and wait in one of the patient rooms and that a doctor would be along shortly. He carried Maggie over into the room, sitting her on the small medical bed. “Not long now.” He assured her. He felt guilty for bringing her out so late, but with her temperature steadily climbing he wasn’t taking risks. Richie tapped his foot impatiently, ten seconds away from going back out and actually pulling the famous card (he had visions of himself saying “do you know who I am?”) when the door opened to reveal the most gorgeous man Richie had ever seen in his life, complete in a set of light yellow hospital scrubs. Every complaint about the wait time left his head.

    Summary

    ”Beverly Marsh - the fashion designer?”

    “Yeah! That Bev. And Ben Hanscom, we can try him too. I don’t know the name of his firm, but it would be easy to google. Recently they built that BBC tower…” Eddie freezes, eyes widening as he stares directly at Dr. Jackson.

    ”Holy shit, I sound crazy, don’t I?” He sends her a defeated expression. “You don’t believe me at all. You think I made up some weird parasocial relationship with a bunch of random celebrities.”

    She clears her throat. “You don’t sound crazy, Eddie. I don’t use that word. I often see people who struggle, and these friendships sound like they’re very real to you.”

    ”They sound real to me,” he parrots. “What a nice way to say they’re all in my head.”
    ***
    Eddie comes home from Derry a different man, ready to make a clean break from his old life. He’s always been direct, so he tells Myra about recent events, so that she can understand why things have to change. Myra, however, isn’t about to let him go so easily. Now facing a psychiatric commitment, how can Eddie prove his competency, when everything that has happened to him recently is literally straight out of a horror novel? A story about living your truth.. mostly.

    Summary

    Richie has no idea when he gained the mental capacity to memorize people's orders. When he started this minimum wage job at a Starbucks inside a grocery store a few months ago, he never ever expected he’d get to the point where a random teenage girl would walk in, and he would shout, “ Zoe!! How's your parents' divorce going?!”

    Or: Richie works at a local Starbucks and accidentally falls for his favorite customer's dad

    Summary

    "What the fuck, Bev?" he asks in a harsh whisper. Beverly sighs, heaving Richie up higher against her as he begins to slip.

    "I know. I know!" she says. "I just didn't know where else to take him! I can't bring him home like this. And you know my dad will freak if I bring a boy home. Especially like this."

    Like this is drunker than Eddie's ever seen anyone, let alone Richie. He can smell the alcohol seeping out of Richie's pores, something sickly sweet punctuated by the lingering scent of cigarette smoke wafting off both of them. Eddie wrinkles his nose against it, his mouth twisting sourly the closer he nears the two of them.

    Summary

    Eddie feels something in his chest twist at the words. He knows about Shay’s life, of course. He knows that it’s just her, that she lost her parents at a young age and that she bounced from family member to family member until the last family member to have custody of her also passed away.

    “We do,” Eddie says, and then, remembering that the point of this is to be honest, that it’s for Shay to meet them and decide if she wants to continue to process, Eddie continues, “Our house is kind of chaotic, especially on the weeks that Frankie stays with us. But…” He glances at Richie.

    Richie finds Eddie’s hand under the table; he can feel the pad of Richie’s thumb sliding over his knuckles. “We definitely have room for one more, if… I mean, it’s completely up to you, Shay. You’ll have to deal with twin toddlers bugging you sometimes and whatever this one-”

    “-more like you, Rich, you pretty much wake up the entire house when you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night-”

    “-dude, Eds. Not in front of the young lady, please.” Richie gestures to Shay, grinning at Eddie’s scoff.

    "Before the break, we asked our contestants: who was your first love? Richie, what did you write?"

    Your mom

    "Heh. That's what we get for inviting a comedian on the show," Chet snorts. "Very mature, Mr. Trashmouth. Maybe your partner can illuminate us. You guys were childhood friends, right? So fill us in, Eddie. Who was Richie's first love?"

    Rolling his eyes, Eddie flips over his card.
