    Summary

    He thought he’d hidden these feelings from himself, stowed them away in some dark corner and learned not to think about it. But the second Eddie peeked in from around the corner at the Jade and looked at Richie with those big, limpid pools of Christmas Orphan meets Bambi, and started rambling about gluten and cashews, it all came flooding back into focus. Richie has loved Eddie so long that it’s become an ache that goes beyond reason.

    Summary

    Eddie doesn’t know the name for how there’s no space for Richie between his organs, and how he wants to clear space for Richie there anyway, but he knows this much: one day, he will suffer for it.

    One day, he will walk right into somebody’s fist.

    Or, homing instinct despite things left (un)said.

    Summary

    The reason it all goes to shit is that Richie decides to forget Eddie by remembering him.

    (Richie hasn’t had a best friend since Derry. Not that opportunities haven’t presented themselves, but it always felt disloyal, getting close to people, even in those once-upon-a-time days when he still knew how and didn’t exactly remember why he shouldn’t. It felt disloyal even when he didn’t remember what it was he was being disloyal to.)

    Summary

    Richie looks down at his own body and like the bed and the bedroom before it, he doesn’t recognize what he sees.

    A broken sound escapes his lips and he slaps his hand to his mouth. Then he pulls his hand away, looks at it again, and slaps it back in place before his mouth gets any smart ideas.

    “What the fuck,” he says against his not-hand.

    (A 13 Going on 30 AU, sort of.)

    Summary

    Eddie looks up at Richie and for a moment his mind stutters backward, all the way back. He looks at the man in front of him and sees a young boy with curly hair and ridiculous glasses and a smile so wide that he can’t help, could never help, but smile back. He looks at Richie and sees that boy, and for the first time since he’s been here he feels like maybe this is a kind of homecoming after all.

    (Eddie returns to Derry and finds fear there, but he finds courage, too. And he freaks out about Richie Tozier the entire goddamn way.)
