Summary
In fall of 2009 Rosa showed up at Jake's apartment unannounced to propose marriage. Which was weird for a number of reasons, primarily because Jake had no idea she even knew where he lived.
"No seriously," he said, once he stopped laughing. "Why're you here."
She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "One thousand push-ups."
"Cool," Jake said. "Let me get my coat."

Summary
Eddie isn’t dead. That’s the most important thing, the only thing really. Richie wants to scream it from the rooftops, to call everyone he knows and tell them to put their phone on speaker, volume all the way up. But he can’t, so he writes it on a script and reads it like a lie instead. Richie wonders if Eddie would be proud: he’s writing his own material for once.
Pseudo “Alice Isn’t Dead” Au where Richie sees Eddie on a news broadcast and then another and then another, always at the scene where bad things happen, always watching. So Richie decides to pack up his whole life and search for Eddie, documenting everything in a fiction podcast in hopes that someone will know it’s not fiction. To those who know, there has to be a way to get someone back.
