    Summary

    Mike tries to clap him on the shoulder. His hand goes right through.

    “Oh, yeah,” Adrian says, voice shaking as Mike’s face falls. “I’m hella dead. Hey Mr. Hanlon, you know anyone called Richard Tozier?”

    (Or, Adrian comes back as a ghost to deliver Richie a message. To say he's unhappy about it would be an understatement.)

    Summary

    Beside him, someone stirs.

    Eddie turns towards it, thinking of sleepovers with the Losers, of Richie knocking on his window at 10pm and crawling into Eddie’s bed when he lets him in.

    His eyes adjust. It still takes a second.

    “Morning, babe,” says a man, a full-grown adult man, in his fucking bed.

    (Or, 14 year old Eddie gets a glimpse into what's coming.)

    Summary

    Deep breaths. Eddie counts them; one, two, three, four.

    He unlocks his phone and reads the text again. It's from Richie.

    I don't know how to say this but
    i'm gay
    i'm sorry for not telling you when we were all together

    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.
