(( threadjacking is okay! anyone who wants to see this can, but specifically would like to aim it to Primrose Everdeen and Scott McCall ))

Eddie finally stands up to his mother.

Well, vitamins aren't so bad, at least? [He shrugs a little.]

Wait-- I don't understand... leaving your hometown made you forget all about that stuff? And, what- everything that happened there? [What...????]

No, they're not so bad. Most children don't need to take ten different vitamins a day, though.

[ Eddie huffs a mirthless laugh and cocks his eyebrows. ]

Yeah. That fucking clown made us all forget everything that happened in Derry as soon as we left. Those guys were my best friends...shit, they were my only friends back then and after I left, I forgot every last one of them until our friend Mike called us to come back to Derry to kill It once and for all. He didn't forget because he never left. Sounds crazy, I know, but it's true.

Okay, fair.

[He shakes his head a little.]

That's so wild... but I've heard some vague details about what's in my future at home that sounds sort of similar. I don't like thinking about it, so I...don't.

[He learned from all those years watching the future unfold on TV week-to-week to just.... stop worrying about what was happening at home. Knowing didn't make him feel any better than wondering.]

[ Well, now Eddie's concerned — and it shows on his face — that they might be from different times and he's never thought to ask; what if they didn't kill It after all, but they just thought they had and it had moved on to terrorize a different town? ]

Wait, what do you mean? How similar?

[It isn't something he particularly wants to broadcast, so he switches to private for the rest of this conversation.]

Lydia didn't explain everything to me, it's sort of hard without contexts, you know? Future timelines are weird-- but also weirdly static? Even if she detailed everything to me, it wouldn't change anything if I was sent home, to live it out.

But, anyway... something happened at home, with these... Ghost Riders? [He shakes his head.] It's after when I'm from, but they-- basically erased my best friend entirely from everybody's memories. Lydia said we fixed it in the end, but... I dunno, it freaks me out. Stiles is like a brother to me. I don't wanna forget him.

[ It feels shitty to be relieved when it doesn't match up with what Eddie's talking about at all. The only thing that matches — which, in Scott's defense, is arguably the most important part — is the friend being forgotten. Admittedly, knowing that the similarities begin and end there relaxes Eddie in a way that he feels incredibly guilty about. At least it means they won't have a killer clown from outer space imported in from one Derry, Maine, though. There's that. ]

It's scary, the idea of forgetting. I know, believe me. I'm not sure if this will make it better or worse, but when you forget...it won't bother you that you forgot, because you won't realize you've forgotten.

Not really. [He shrugs a little.] I mean-- makes sense. It's what happens when people go home and come back... while you're at home, you don't remember the other places you've been, nothing you knew there comes back what you, so you can't change the course of anything, it all plays out the same anyway, and you don't know unless you go back to other world. So... it makes sense, that I wouldn't...notice, but it doesn't make me feel any better about it.

[He doesn't know how to put it into words, honestly. Stiles is family. He's pack, and that particular level of importance doesn't make sense to anyone who isn't a werewolf.]

Well, if she said you guys fix it, then I guess all you can do is trust that and let events run their course. That sucks, though, I'm sorry.

Yeah, and I do. Lydia's like a sister to me, you know? She's-- she'd never lie about that kind of thing. Actually, she's totally more likely to be bluntly honest than lie to you, which is...pretty great, really. [He shrugs a little.]

Maybe this place will take a break on all of us soon and this new thing will be over soon.

Yeah, I know. I have one of those back home, too.

[ Eddie sighs. ]

Here's hoping.
