    Summary

    Eddie Munson died on March 27th, 1986.

    This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

    No, wait. That’s not right. That’s Hitchhiker's Guide. Or was it Restaurant at the End of the Universe? Whatever, not important.

    Eddie Munson died on March 27th, 1986.

    Except…he didn’t. He couldn’t have. Because Eddie Munson is currently arguing with himself in his fucking head about sci-fi quotes, which doesn’t feel especially like something that a dead person would have the capacity to do.

    The bats had killed him. There had been pain, and the sick sensation of tearing flesh. He’d had to swallow past a mouthful of his own blood to tell Henderson he loved him. Surely those were symptoms of imminent death.

    And yet.

    On April 1st, 1986, Eddie Munson opens his eyes in a dim hospital room. There’s a gasp from his left, and he tries to turn his head towards the source.

    “Easy there, kid. They’ve got you trussed up pretty good.”

    Eddie doesn’t need to see him. He’d know that voice anywhere, in any universe, hell dimension or otherwise.

    “Uncle Wayne?”

    Summary

    Jenna Burke is the girl of Steve's dreams.

    He's been wrong a few times—a lot of times—before, but this time he knows it's real. Even if they haven't even been on a date yet. Because she's everything he's ever wanted and so much more.

    There's just one problem: he's not the guy of her dreams.

    Not yet, at least. But he could be. He will be, with just a little help from Eddie Munson. Too bad the guy still hates Steve's guts.

    --

    AKA: Steve asks Eddie to teach him how to play guitar so he can impress a girl, and spending hours alone with each other, in close proximity, for weeks on end, definitely isn't going to awaken anything in either of them.

    Summary

    Robin should be royally pissed off with herself right now. She would be if she wasn’t so damn scared.

    That guy was still trailing behind her, no matter the twists and turns she’d taken down different streets trying to lose him and the only thing she’d gained from it was to get totally and completely lost.

    OR

    In a moment of panic, Robin inserts herself into a group of four people with long hair, chains, leather, denim, tartan, rings, tattoos. Subculture, odd, other, alternative. Flag patches and pins. Her people. She just prays they'll just go with it and pretend to know her.

    Summary

    “I don’t think there’s anyone at this school that could keep up with you, Nancy Wheeler.”

    Nancy couldn’t keep the smile off her face. She bit her lip and looked away. It was too good to be true. “I bet you know someone who could,” she said quietly. “And I bet I know someone for you.”

    ***

    Robin and Nancy met at college and have been best friends for the last two years. Except, for Nancy, her feelings for Robin don’t end at friendship. The problem is she’s not sure how Robin feels. What if she’s straight? Or just completely uninterested? Both are terrifying.

    To keep herself safe, Nancy comes up with a plan: pretend to ask Robin on a double date, where they set each other up—but really, it's just a date for the two of them. At first, it seems Robin is on the same page, and Nancy is over the moon... until she shows up on the day and sees Robin has brought her friend Steve, to be Nancy's date.

    Desperate, Nancy ropes delivery guy Eddie Munson into pretending to be Robin's date.

    It's the worst double date in the world.
