Flight of Icarus Things I'll Be Accepting As Canon
(Sooo Many Spoilers)
-Wayne Munson tokes.
-Reefer Rick's just a happy, laid-back old hippie.
-Eddie gets the Chris Chambers treatment because of his last name.
-He starts dealing because he wants to help Wayne out.
-Wayne is the MVP of both this book and Eddie's life.
-Higgins is the Hellfire sponsor, because Eddie's blackmailing him.
Other Thoughts:
This Eddie doesn't start sounding like Our Eddie until the very end.
Ronnie was cool.
The other girl was not.
Neither was the old man.
I liked the interaction with Will and Jonathan in the end.
This book will have little to no bearing on the Evil Woman-verse.
But she might need to acquire one of these. Just in case. 😉

Les hommes sont devenus avides, mesquins, menteurs, [...] ils ont perdu la foi et le sens du vrai, il n’y a plus de rois, il n’y a plus de bonheur. Ils chercheront la mort sans la trouver ; ils désireront mourir, mais la mort les fuira.
— Roman Von Ungern-Sternberg, cité par Léonid Youzéfovitch dans Le baron Ungern - Khan des steppes

Before the house burned down, who was paying the property tax and utilities? I doubt it was Eddie
I’ve always wondered why Wayne, a single man, childless man working at the local plant (and knowing that plant/factory work actually pays decently well back then), would live in a run down trailer instead of his own small house
Now I’m wondering if he was paying Al’s bills behind the scenes so Eddie would still have a home to go to

Apparently Flight of Icarus revealed that Eddie is the lead singer of Corroded Coffin... so do you regret not making him the lead singer in your Old Haunts universe?
…Um no not all lol I don’t regret any decision I made for my fic that doesn’t happen to line up with a side novel that came out two years after the fact. Why would I?
Plus, that’s one of the choices that just doesn’t make sense at all. I’m guessing Caitlyn went with making him lead vocalist to have the whole going solo plot work (it still doesn’t, but I digress). Cause otherwise why would a recording label only want one guitarist for a metal album?
But yeah, there’s still no way Eddie can be both lead vocalist and lead guitarist. Not at the intensity and level he’s playing at. There’s a reason why they’re separate things. Plus he doesn’t sing a word of Master of Puppets. If he was a lead singer as well, I’d imagine he would probably have sung some of the lyrics during his performance in the Upside Down. Nope, he’s frontrunner, lead guitarist and background vocals as far as I’m concerned.
