    Summary

    “Hey, shitbird!” Billy called out, holding a piece of paper in his hand. His brows furrowed as he read through the written words on it.

    “What the hell are you doing in my ro-”

    "What’s this?”

    “That's, uhm, I wrote that…” She points at the letter in his hand while she awkwardly shifts on her feet. “When you were in the hospital. Last year. I wrote that. Not exactly for you to see though…”

    Summary

    ”Okay, here goes”, Eddie says, takes a final deep breath before looking at Richie straight on and saying ”Richie, I’m gay.”

    Richie feels his eyes widen and his breath get caught in his throat, while his heart misses a beat and million butterflies take flight in his stomach.

    ”You’re… gay?” he asks, like a fucking dumbass.

    //

    Or, Richie doesn't know what's the appropriate way to receive and share news.

    Summary

    After the Christmas dinner, which involves chewy turkey, potatoes that are not only rock hard but cold on the inside, alongside gravy that can only be equated to salted water and vegetables….which are honestly the best part of the dinner, and vegetables should definitely not be the best part of Christmas dinner. But after the excruciating dinner, consumed in front of the TV, while a Christmas radio channel plays quietly in the background. Sonia tends to fall asleep. And that’s when Eddie’s real Christmas starts.

    He pulls on a coat and boots, and makes sure that his watch is working so he can get home at a safe time. He knows that Sonia will be asleep for a good few hours, the Kaspbrak Christmas dinner ends by 2pm, and Sonia will be asleep or at least in and out of sleep until 7pm. Which gives him more than enough time for a second, incredibly better, Christmas at the Tozier’s house.

    Summary

    A series of interconnected vignettes spanning across three years, starting when the Losers are fourteen and concluding when they are seventeen.

    "Two months ago, Richie had asked Eddie if he wanted a lick of his cherry Blow Pop. Eddie had accepted, feeling sick and excited as he ran his tongue over it. It was hot from Richie’s mouth. Richie’s mouth! Eddie glanced up to look at that mouth, dyed red from the candy and glistening a little, and then he met Richie’s eyes, which were fixed on the sucker. He was staring and had this strange look on his face that Eddie had never seen before. His pupils almost drowned out the color of his eyes."
