    Summary

    Eddie feels something in his chest twist at the words. He knows about Shay’s life, of course. He knows that it’s just her, that she lost her parents at a young age and that she bounced from family member to family member until the last family member to have custody of her also passed away.

    “We do,” Eddie says, and then, remembering that the point of this is to be honest, that it’s for Shay to meet them and decide if she wants to continue to process, Eddie continues, “Our house is kind of chaotic, especially on the weeks that Frankie stays with us. But…” He glances at Richie.

    Richie finds Eddie’s hand under the table; he can feel the pad of Richie’s thumb sliding over his knuckles. “We definitely have room for one more, if… I mean, it’s completely up to you, Shay. You’ll have to deal with twin toddlers bugging you sometimes and whatever this one-”

    “-more like you, Rich, you pretty much wake up the entire house when you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night-”

    “-dude, Eds. Not in front of the young lady, please.” Richie gestures to Shay, grinning at Eddie’s scoff.

    Summary

    The Losers have been through a lot. They’ve got a lot on their plates–PTSD, OCD, autism, ADHD, anxiety, substance abuse, an eating disorder, grief, shame, insomnia, depression… some of them are even queer. This is a story about them learning to take care of each other, spanning their childhood, their reunion, and the life they build together in the aftermath. Part 1 is 70% banter, 30% angst. Part 2 is 70% angst, 30% banter. Part 3 is a solid 50/50. Series title comes from "Um, It's Kind of A Lot" by Will Wood.

    Summary

    "Before the break, we asked our contestants: who was your first love? Richie, what did you write?"

    Your mom

    "Heh. That's what we get for inviting a comedian on the show," Chet snorts. "Very mature, Mr. Trashmouth. Maybe your partner can illuminate us. You guys were childhood friends, right? So fill us in, Eddie. Who was Richie's first love?"

    Rolling his eyes, Eddie flips over his card.

    My mom
