what if instead of richie digging into mike& #39;s spell books to find a way to revive eddie, he uses them to lock away all his memories of eddie all over again bc it& #39;s the only way he can move forward
which might seem like a good idea except for how between patty and the turtle, both stan and eddie are revived less than a month after they passed
patty and richie crossing paths in derry weeks after the others left-- richie working his way through mike& #39;s books for a spell, patty looking to fight god for some answers
they meet for a drink just the once, both heartbroken, both determined to do what they think is right to make that heartbreak go away
just a few weeks later patty& #39;s on the phone to bev telling her to call a meeting of the loser& #39;s club, she& #39;s got some news they& #39;ll want to hear

when she walks in the door with stan and eddie, everyone& #39;s faces freeze like a room full of masks ranging from horror to devastation
richie surges forward to hug stan leaving eddie to be swept up by mike, and right away patty knows he& #39;s done exactly what he set out to do

eddie& #39;s soft "hey richie" is met with a confused smile, richie still hanging off stan, his knuckles white with how hard he& #39;s gripping the back of stan& #39;s shirt
richie: uh. hey man. do i--
patty: mike from what i was told your place back home was basically derry library& #39;s own restricted section... if someone were to go looking what are the chances they might find a way to wipe away certain pockets of their memory
eddie: FUCKING WHAT

eddie: FUCKING WHAT
eddie: *ranting about literally cheating death and this motherfucker couldn& #39;t wait a goddamn MONTH???*
richie: *still confused as shit but equally charmed by the speedtalking and air karate chops*

jumping ahead coz i gotta talk about how richie confesses to eddie along the way that he feels like he& #39;s missing a part of himself, sometimes he wakes up reaching across the bed like he& #39;s searching for someone who should be there
"was that you? were we in love?"
"was that you? were we in love?"
and eddie can& #39;t answer because. i mean,,,, he& #39;s married, or he was, and richie never. they didn& #39;t. it& #39;s not like they. HE DOESN& #39;T KNOW, OKAY
okay back to the loser& #39;s club~
mike shrugs and says well i guess we can go back to derry and--
he& #39;s immediately interrupted by 6 voices shouting NO and one very pointed eyebrow raise from patty
--okay well we have another option. i ran across this coven in north carolina...

richie: hey guys i& #39;m the one who apparently needs the factory reset, there& #39;s no reason any of you have to be there to clean up my mess
eddie: if you think we& #39;re leaving you alone for more time than it takes for you to wipe your own ass you& #39;re delusional
eddie: if you think we& #39;re leaving you alone for more time than it takes for you to wipe your own ass you& #39;re delusional
richie: graphic yet terrifying, can& #39;t wait to know you again little dude, i feel like we& #39;re gonna get along
eddie: i& #39;m gonna reach down your throat and tie your tongue in a butcher& #39;s knot
richie: hot
eddie: i& #39;m gonna reach down your throat and tie your tongue in a butcher& #39;s knot
richie: hot
on day two of the roadtrip they& #39;re sharing a monster plate of fries in a truckstop diner & richie casually calls eddie "eds" without a single pause in the conversation
eddie is speechless, eyes burning with unshed tears, & richie is making a dick joke around a mouthful of potato

ben grabs richie& #39;s attention, "hey rich remember that time we all jumped off your roof?"
"yeah man i remember you going on about physics saying you knew exactly the right angle to jump so no one would get hurt. i still ended up in the ER tho so suck on that science"

"that had nothing to do with how you landed, that was because you tried to--"
"catch eddie." richie looks up, startled. "i tried to catch eddie."
"you remember that?" eddie says, voice flat like he& #39;s refusing to let himself sound hopeful
