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.- Language:

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
"LOSERS! PARENTS! GEORGIE! YOU HAVE ALL GATHERED HERE TODAY TO WATCH A DUOLOGY OF 'FILMS' ENTAILING THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE RESISTANCE FORCE KNOWN AS THE LOSERS CLUB AND THE MURDEROUS CLOWN KNOWN AS PENNYWISE!"
"Did you just say 'murderous clown'?" Richie's mom, who's the only adult in the world cool with them calling her by her first name, Maggie asks with wrinkled eyebrows.
"I told you so!" Richie shouts at her. "I. Told. You. So." Maggie lifts her hands up in surrender.
"I'm sorry, when did we move past the talking turtle?" Eddie asks.
XXX
Losers and Parents and Georgie watch the movies! Yay! Seriously though, these kids are watching themselves go through their own childhood trauma. It's a fucking trip.

Summary
In the moments before Eddie Kaspbrak dies, he does the most selfish thing he can possibly imagine. He reaches up, with his one trembling hand, covered with his own red, sticking blood, and he grabs Richie’s face, and says, "I love you."
Then, he dies.
Then, he wakes up face to face with a giant turtle.

Summary
“You need to wake up now,” Stan says softly. “This isn’t real.”
“I know, but I can’t,” Richie sobs. “I don’t want to be here.” Not again. Never again. It is dead, why is It still haunting him?
Stan fixes him with one of those looks of his, the one where he can see his every thought as if it were written on his face. “That’s not true, Trashmouth.”

Alternatively: We all know Richie gets caught in the Deadlights, but do we really know what happens after?
(Deadlights, timelines, Stan’s ghostly meddling—oh, my.)

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.)

All the Very Best of Us (String Ourselves Up for Love) by starclipped

Summary
“Richie. Richie, it’s me,” he whispers, so softly that it’s almost a figment of his imagination. “Hey, it’s Eddie. I’m Eddie. I’m okay, Rich, and you’re okay, so just… please, stop saying shit like that. You’re—you’re scaring me.” He says that part like he’d rather do anything but admit such a thing. But then, as his eyes dart over Richie’s face, his expression shifts, the usual constipation twisting into something close to hysteria that he tries and fails to mask with outrage. “And stop shaking me, shitbag! I had to claw my way out of a fucking disaster zone and I’m really sore—”
Richie doesn’t know how he knows it, that this is the one and only Eddie Kaspbrak, truly here in the flesh, but he does. Because it’s as if the piece of him that'd been unceremoniously ripped away has miraculously been sewn back into place, worn and faded and uneven and maybe the wrong way around, but still very much present.
“Eddie,” Richie chokes, and the man he loves with all his heart is standing right in front of him, alive, and there’s no way he could make himself think otherwise.
[Or: Stan lives, Eddie is resurrected, the Losers visit Georgia, and Richie gets everything he's ever wanted (plus more).]

Summary
When Richie re-carves the two letters into the Kissing Bridge, it feels like a time machine. He can see himself so clearly - 13, glasses too big for his face, head on a swivel, his dad’s pocket knife clutched in hand. He sees himself, and he feels it too, the heart-pounding nervousness and.
And.
There had been hope.

Or, another post-canon fix-it because they deserved better.

Summary
Eddie knows he may be naive, but he’s not entirely dumb. It takes a minute or two, but it finally clicks for him, watching the tinge of pink spread on Stanley’s cheeks. He thinks about the look on Stan’s face when they took the pictures in the booth yesterday, how he couldn’t seem to keep his eyes off of Eddie.
Just like Eddie can’t seem to take his eyes off of Stan now.

Summary
Eddie makes another noise, not quite a scream but not anything else either.
Stan drops his hand.
“Hey, Eddie,” he says. “Welcome to the peanut gallery. I wrote you a letter, but I guess you won’t get it now.”
(Or, Eddie and Stan stick around as ghosts after they die. Unable to make themselves known to the other Losers, they have to find other ways to communicate.)

Summary
“Uh, Spaghetti?” Richie waves a hand in front of his face, looking worried now. “Hello? Do you want to let me know whatever it was that was so important you had to drag me awake for it or -”
“I have a turtle in my pocket that speaks to me in my head and is possessed by Bruce Springsteen,” Eddie blurts out. “Also I think it may be God.”
Richie stares blankly at him.
“What,” he asks flatly, “the fuck.”
“Or a god, at least, I don’t know,” Eddie continues, “Either way, I think it was the one who brought me back to life, so. You know. The chances are very good.”
--
It's been forty years. Eddie Kaspbrak is just trying to make it out of the river.

“Uh,” Mike says. “So - the last time we faced IT, we hurt it. Not bad, but enough to end the cycle early, right? We hurt IT, and it lost some energy. Now, IT’s making up for what we did by coming back early.”
“Wait,” Richie says slowly. “You’re telling me that the alien hellclown came back 14 years before it was supposed to because it’s snacky?”

Summary
Derry isn’t an ordinary town. Richie Tozier knows this; he is a Loser after all. Why, then, is he still surprised when the town doesn’t let them go without a fight?
Together with the surviving members of the Lucky Seven, Richie finds himself flung back into the summer of nineteen ninety-three. Stuck in their own past, they team up with the reluctant and suspicious teenage Losers to try and find a way home.
Perhaps, if they can just work out what the hell the giant floating turtle in the sky is telling them, they can get out of this in one piece.
All of them.

Summary
“I’m not sure I know,” Bill replied, “but I think w-we’re all childless. Is that ih-it?”
There was a moment of shocked silence.
“Yeah,” Mike said. “That’s it.”
But that’s in a different universe. In this one, only five of the seven losers are childless. In this one, Stanley Uris throws out every razor he owns and books a flight to Bangor before he can change his mind or come to his senses, and he kisses his wife and his three kids goodbye on his way out the door.
And about twelve hundred miles away, Eddie Kaspbrak is already well over halfway to Derry when he pulls over on I-95…
… and he finds his nine-year-old daughter hiding in his trunk.
