    Summary

    “I need you-“ Chris made a face as his shoulders twitched. “I want you too say something that makes it sound like I’m in, like, danger. Nothing too crazy! But, enough that it’ll spook him. Them.”

    Chris had been seeing Dr. Azeez for a few years now. The man was used to Chris coming in, dropping some awful lore on him, and dipping. Chris liked to think it made their relationship stronger.

    “And why,” Dr. Azeez pushed his glasses up his nose. “ in the world would I do that?”

    “Because I’m a really good patient.”

    “No.”

    “Because you believe in the power of love and friendship.”

    “No.”

     “Because my dad is gay and his best friend is half-ly and they're both in love with each other and I have a mom whose dead and I recently learned that blood doesn’t matter?”

    Dr.Azeez jolted. “Oh my.”

    ___

    Or

    From Texas to California, all Christopher Diaz ever wanted was all his parents under the same roof.

    Maybe if he told his doctor his life story, the man would help Chris make his wish come true.

    Summary

    He had been flustered by the appearance of four of his closest friends where he thought he was only getting one, maybe two, had he known Mike would be there? Or Ben (Eddie, you already sent me a Strava invite for tomorrow morning, what are you - ) or, yes, possibly, had he in fact not known Richie was coming, and been flustered by this, specifically. If he had, he thought it was contained, subsumed in the greater chaos of the greetings. He had been normal about it.

    “Oh, the look you were giving Richie all night?” Ben asked, rummaging around in his running bag. He paused. “No, I don’t think anyone noticed, why?”

    Summary

    One far too public coming out. One entire re-branding of his career. Four seasons. Hundreds of positive reviews. Three nominations.

    One win would have been nice.

    Richie didn't put all that much stock in all these fancy award shows, but just saying. One win would have been nice. Mostly because he had been planning to put it next to his Razzie on the mantelpiece.

    (Yes, his Razzie was still proudly displayed on the mantelpiece despite all of Eddie's attempts to get rid of it. It kept finding its way back there.)

    Summary

    Derry doesn't have the right to be this hot in summer. Neither does Eddie.

    Or, how a lollipop ruined Richie Tozier

    Summary

    Thinking back Eddie should have known something like this could happen. He could try to convince himself it seemed like a good idea at first, but the truth is he didn’t even think about it at all. He was just pissed. And he had the right to be pissed too, thank you very much. It was just… he hated going back home for Christmas.
