   Summary

   The story of The Bowers Gang having very complicated relationships two summers after the events of IT (2017), had they never encountered Pennywise. This summer is chalk full of homoerotic friendships, Vic being helplessly in love with Henry, and Henry trying far too hard to get laid by some girl. We'll see what happens when feelings bubble over and the ages long pining turns into something more, but until then? Clueless teenage boys being their dumbass selves.
