Summary
His boy brings home a girl that spring, a pretty thing with blonde hair and a shy smile and a belly she can’t hide, and when he sees the way Eddie looks at her, Wayne’s heart sinks past his gut.
“It’s not mine,” Eddie tells him the next afternoon. They’re out on the side porch after lunch; Chrissy's inside, asleep on the couch.
“The baby,” Eddie adds when Wayne doesn’t respond right away. He’s frowning fiercely at his knees. “She had a boyfriend. Well, until…”
“Until?” Wayne prompts.
The boy—not so much a boy now, twenty-three and taller than him—shrugs. “Until he knocked her up.” His mouth twists in a sneer. “Fucker thought basketball was a better deal than her and a kid.”
Wayne sits with that for a minute. “Sounds like a piece of work.”
Eddie snorts. “I’ll say.”
A couple cars go by on the road; the whine of a lawnmower a couple spots down drifts in and out.
“Wayne.”
“Yeah, kid.”
Eddie tips his head back to look at him, something between nerves and determination on his face as he squints against the sun.
“I’m gonna marry her. If she’ll let me.”

Summary
After losing most of his unit in a disastrous D-Day mission, Derwin Grunauer returns to his hometown near Miami, body riddled with scars and heart heavy with guilt, only to find his neighbors shunning him due to his German name. He retreats into his family mansion and remains there, unwilling to rejoin the living, until the day Alba Reyes turns up at his door with a basket full of warm bread. As the daughter of a Cuban immigrant, Alba knows something of being an outsider, and when she offers to work for Derwin as his housekeeper, it is not only to pay off her father's debt to the Grunauers, but also because she feels some connection to the reclusive young man. When that connection develops into something more, they must overcome both the town's prejudice and their own doubts to find happiness.

Summary
Chrissy comes out of the kitchen, clutching a small baby to her body, rocking back and forth on her bare feet. A chubby fist is tangled in her hair and Eddie can’t look away.
Especially not when she turns to the side a little bit, going to hand the baby with shaking hands to his uncle, and Eddie catches sight of the baby’s face.
Golden-tinged light brown hair. Big, brown doe eyes.
It all clicks at once, all crashes over his head like the giant waves he saw during a storm in California.
He’s no genius but he can do basic math. That baby is less than a year old, for sure. Pregnancies are nine months. Eddie left eighteen months ago. Those eyes — his own eyes, the ones he inherited from his mother — are unmistakable.

Summary
"I'm sorry, what, Cunningham?"
"I want to join Hellfire Club."
...The whole truth, of course, is a little more complicated.
---
Chrissy has a (probably) foolproof plan to use Dungeons & Dragons to pull a more literal escape than most players are looking for. Things escalate from there.

Summary
When Arishat was killed and Lucius was captured, their eight-year-old daughter, Sadiki, was sold. Alone and enslaved in the degenerate city of Rome, Sadiki is taken in by her grandmother, Lucilla. While Lucilla does her best to shield Sadiki from Septimius Severus, the expansion-obsessed militant emperor who has his suspicions about Lucilla's new charge, none of her protections can hide the girl from Severus's ten-year-old sons, Geta and Caracalla. Sadiki forges a close friendship with Geta, but as she grows into a young woman, she finds that danger besets her from every side, and that those she loves are slipping away from her as the city cowers under its tyrannical emperor. Will she lose her love and abandon the Empire? Or will the great granddaughter of Marcus Aurelius and the younger son of the emperor find a way to rebuild Rome on a foundation stronger than blood-soaked sand?
Or
Look, I want Lucius to have a kid, I want Geta to be decent, I want to play with the timeline, and I'm a sucker for a slow burn romance. Naturally, I decided to do all of that at once.

Summary
It looks like everyone had the same idea here folks. An Eddie/Chrissy fix it picking up where Vecna started, and the Party's adventure taking a different turn. I'm awful at summaries I'm so sorry.
"aesthetic chills" is the literal translation of frisson, which is the feeling you get when listening to a really good piece of music.
Update as of volume 2: there will be spoilers!

Chrissy Cunningham woke slowly in hell to the sound of an angry, distorted, defiant guitar chord. Once, then twice, and again. Chugging determinedly into her forehead, burrowing between her eyes straight into her skull.

Summary
The first time Eddie Munson watches Chrissy Cunningham die isn't the worst. It's the second, because he had thought she was going to live this time.
//
The universe made a cosmic mistake the day Chrissy Cunningham was allowed to die. It set off a chain of events that led to catastrophe, at first local, then global, and eventually interdimensional. It led to the end of all there is, was, and would ever be.
But the universe is rather interested in self-preservation. It couldn’t save itself in the future, but it could save itself then.
If only someone would get it right.
[Now complete.]

Summary
“Well… You know… Fuck it, I’ll take you camping then,” the smile slipped off of his stupid fucking face as he realized what the fuck he had just said. What he had just fucking offered.
By the stunned look on Chrissy’s face, he knew that his stupid fucking mouth went too far this time. What the fuck was he thinking!? Oh yeah, she’d definitely go along with this fucking plan. She had to have been itching for him, the fucking King of the Freaks, to take her, the gorgeous and popular head cheerleader and Queen of Hawkins High, on a fucking camping trip for a fucking week during fucking spring break—
“Okay…”
“Huh?”
Or... Maybe all it takes is one van and one big sleeping bag for two people escape the curse of Hawkins for a week.

Summary
England, 1139: the civil war between King Stephen and Empress Maud looms large, threatening to tear the country in half. For Ed and his band of traveling minstrels, however, the more pressing matter is how to survive the upcoming winter, now that they were tossed out by their latest patron. When they stumble upon a naïve pageboy looking for warriors to escort the Lady Christiana to safe haven in Wales, Ed comes up with a daring plan - pose as knights, take the job, and collect the reward. After all, how hard can it be? What Ed doesn't count on is endless battles, treacherous roads, marauding bandits, Lady Christiana's pompous fiancé, and his own growing attraction to the fair maiden herself.
