IN WHICH — two boys pretend to date, in order to piss off an uptight mother!
∘◦ ✾ ◦∘
EDDIE KASPBRAK IS gradually losing his sanity, courtesy to his deranged and psychotic mother (as Richie Tozier continuously insists on labeling her). Following the unspeakable, tragically inescapable night at the local Derry hospital in '81, Sonia Kaspbrak has transformed into some sort of control freak of a monster to cope with the devastating loss of her husband. A majority of Eddie's life has been wasted becoming an innocent pawn in the nauseating game of puppet master she creates.
But one event in the winter of 1992 changes everything: when an afternoon debacle with Henry Bowers transpires, and Eddie returns home with bruised legs and thrashed clothing, Sonia's patience tips over the edge. In fact, it tips so far over the edge that Eddie's punishment is banishment from the Losers' Club forever. And the only solution to a situation like this is kissing your straight, male best friend, right? In Eddie's defense, it was the most practical way to say a big Fuck you! to his homophobic, intolerant mother, and Derry's own trashmouth just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
But the problem? Richie Tozier was not supposed to fall in love.

AUTHOR'S NOTE!
I'M BACK, BABY! The name's Mac, and if you aren't new around here, you probably know what a flaky writer I am. Just a little backstory for you newbies: I originally wrote this story around 2017 when Chapter ONE was released. That's right... It's been a whole year since I even thought about this book, nonetheless, inspired enough to continue writing it. However, after watching Chapter Two (and getting my heart ripped out of my chest), I realized I need to finish this dumb fanfiction once and for all. I owe it to you guys and to myself.
So, if you're an original reader from 2017 that's been waiting patiently for an update (doubt there's anyone left), this one's for you!
