"I feel like I'm thirteen again."

"If I was thirteen again, I'd have a boner right now."

"You don't? Oh... that's just your wallet in your pocket."

"Fuck off, Criss."

Jaime Criss was perfectly content with continuing her job as a highly-respected music producer and going home every night to her husband. She felt as if she belonged behind the soundboard, doing the audio engineering she studied for years after highschool. But if anyone knows how quickly your life can change, it's Jaime. When Mike Hanlon calls her one day, only a month away from her fortieth birthday, she blames the fact that she can barely remember him on a severe car crash she experienced fifteen years prior. Head trauma, the doctors would say. But she had already endured years of therapy and memory regaining exercises. So it just doesn't make sense as to why she can remember everything after moving to New York in 1992, but absolutely nothing prior.

What also doesn't make sense is the rush of fear that blossomed deep within her body when Mike told her to return to Derry.

"Do you remember what I told you, right before I boarded the plane to New York?"

Richie shakes his head, already past the point of feeling guilty for being unable to remember.

"Well, I told you to call me if any clowns were terrorizing you."

"Right, yeah."

"Did you ever feel the need to call?"

"Not until I went to Chuck-E-Cheese one day and saw that creepy fuckin' animatronic, but I didn't know if that fell under 'clown' category or not."

warnings; mentions of failure to conceive, infidelity, past sexual harassment, past car accident. violence, cursing, intense stuff, sexual implications. and of course that fucking clown.

disclaimers; i do not own stephen king's IT, nor do i own the movie adaptations. i also don't own any of the gifs used above. Jaime Criss is my own character and her story is also my own.

important authors note; i am not going to be erasing Richie Tozier's identity whatsoever. Richie's sexuality will be addressed and dealt with because i think it's a really big part of the story and especially Jaime's story.

that being said, float safely.
