the love of the losers' club by tozier
Fandom: IT (2017), IT (Movies - Muschietti), IT - Stephen King
16 May 2020
Summary
Loving so much it hurts is a rewarding and dreadfully terrible thing. Seven people who all grew up in the wrong place at the wrong time know this all too well, but wouldn't give their love up for the world despite it. That might just be the only thing any of them have in common. They hope it's enough.
or, a canon-adjacent love letter to these wonderful losers.

Summary
Eds looks so pink and flushed and cutecutecute that Richie can’t help but take it over the line. He leans in, grin heavy and shot glasses empty. “The only assholes I’m punching are with my di—”
“Sorry to interrupt,” Greta says from behind the bar. “And sorry to listen in. But why the fuck are you playing a game that involves being punched in the ass?”
Eddie grimaces. “Good fucking question.”

The Losers master the art of releasing their inner children through annual game playing, and some of them fall in love while doing so. Or: a Tag (2018) au.

Boys Don't Cry by witchietozier for bellbawttoms

Summary
The year is 1990, and Richie Tozier is going through a metric fuckton.
He's fourteen years old, which like, wow, what a fucking nightmare by itself. His sleep schedule is next to nonexistent, and he feels like he walks around looking like that vampire in that one old movie.
(Nose-fur-a-tutu? No-spur-a-doo? Whatever.)
Neither of these things, however, can even hold a candle to the absolute anguish that is being in love with your best friend, particularly when you could never in a million years actually confess.
But on top of all of that pain and suffering, now he's experiencing something completely novel and uncharted:experiencing emotions.
Fuuuck. How is he gonna survive this?

Summary
Derry isn’t an ordinary town. Richie Tozier knows this; he is a Loser after all. Why, then, is he still surprised when the town doesn’t let them go without a fight?
Together with the surviving members of the Lucky Seven, Richie finds himself flung back into the summer of nineteen ninety-three. Stuck in their own past, they team up with the reluctant and suspicious teenage Losers to try and find a way home.
Perhaps, if they can just work out what the hell the giant floating turtle in the sky is telling them, they can get out of this in one piece.
All of them.

Summary
The room is not big, but it's not small either. It doesn't look much like an office except for the crammed in desks and typewriters. The floor is wood, stained dark. Light streams in through a barely-open window, lending all of the brown a forgiving sheen of gold. The rain must have stopped.
Several of the desks are overfilled with knick-knacks and books, definitely not in a suitable state to work at. Behind one of these, a man sits with his feet on top of the table and its contents, ankles crossed. If Eddie had to make a guess he'd say he's around Eddie's own age. White, with dark hair. He's wearing glasses.
Bingo. This is his man.

Summary
“Don’t worry about it,” Richie says, mid dip. Eddie snorts as Richie pulls him back up. If only it were so easy. “You’ll get a job, I’ll get two jobs. Maybe we can’t afford heat in the winter. It’ll be cute.”
“Freezing to death is not cute,” Eddie says, a bit lost in the tangle of their fingers together.
“I don’t know,” Richie sing songs, pulling Eddie close and taking advantage of his momentary reach for balance to pull one of his hands free and pinch Eddie’s cheek. “I think you’d pull it off. You’ll be the poster child for blue lips and cold feet.”
“I knew I’d be the breadwinner,” Eddie mutters.

Summary
Stan exhales through his nose, quick and exasperated. “Forget it,” he says, opening his book again, but then he says, “I’m not saying he has to want to sleep with a woman, I’m just saying I don’t think he’s even interested in kissing a girl.”
Something about the emphasis Stan places on “girl” knocks whatever Eddie was going to say out of Eddie’s mouth. He opens his mouth, closes it, and then opens it again. “You think he likes boys?” Eddie says stupidly, still not really believing that they’re still talking about the same Richie. Richie, with all the your mom jokes, and all the stupid shit about not being a virgin, and always asking “is she hot?”.
Stan gives him another long, indecipherable look. “I think he likes someone,” he says cryptically.

Summary
“You can cook?” Eddie blurts.
Richie blinks. “Yeah. What the fuck? Yes. I know we’re not the pinnacle of functional adulthood, here, but there’s no way I’m the only one in seven, right?”
“No,” Ben admits. He takes a few steps toward Richie, like he hopes fleeing the scene will dispel the momentary awkwardness. “It’s just…”
“I would’ve guessed you mostly do prepackaged stuff,” Mike adds, following Ben’s lead with an apologetic smile of his own. Eddie does, too, except he also stuffs his hands into his pockets and hunches in on himself just enough to attract Richie’s attention, which is why he inadvertently directs most of his retort at him.
(Or: the one where Richie's love language of choice happens to be cooking.)

Summary
Imagine defeating a killer clown from outer space in 2016 – or was it 1990? – just to blink and find yourself stuck in another Derry, in another year, surrounded by a group of strangers who all have the same names as the friends you’ve known most of your life.
Eddie has a hunch that getting back home won’t be as easy as ripping one monster’s heart out; he might have to bare his.

Summary
It had been Patty's idea, because of course it was – most of the good things in Stan's life were because of her. Something that started as a brief joke between the two of them after Stan complained of his coworkers’ drunken antics at the office Christmas party could bloom into actual reality. Thus: the Uris Chanukah party.
Less than one year after Derry, Stan and Patricia Uris invite some people over, including some friends from long ago.

Summary
Eddie can feel his heartbeat in his hand. Throbbing, sticky, hot. It smarts like a bitch, but he isn’t one so he doesn’t mention it. He just braces his face and turns, without thinking, really, just on instinct, and throws his good arm around Richie. And, like that’s normal, like that’s just an everyday occurrence, Richie drops his chin to Eddie’s shoulder and pats his back once, twice, clutching him close. Eddie feels like his heart is leaking out of the wound in his hand, bursting out from the hollow of his chest cavity. Can Richie feel it, pushed up against his ribcage? Does he know that’s Eddie’s heart dripping out onto their sneakers?
Richie and Eddie walk home together after the blood pact.- Language:

“It’s just a gut check, there is no gun to your balls here,” says Richie. "But if you were gonna be a dad... what do you think you’d like about it?”
Eddie glances at the dog, who just looks back at him like, I dunno, man, he didn’t clear this with me. I thought we were just hanging out and watching some Treehouse of Horror tonight.

Summary
*NEW VERSION OF PREVIOUS FIC*
He thrusts the hand at Eddie, and Eddie screams again, louder this time.
“You’re crazy!”
“E-Eddie,” Bill speaks up, still laughing and leaning against Stan, who is red in the face from trying to hold his own giggles in, “I-it can’t b-bi-bite you. My d-dad says it’s f-f-fa-fan-gs are too small to b-bite.”
Richie’s Daddy said that, too, and if Daddy and Mr. D both said something, it was probably true.
“It’s still poisonous!” Eddie yells. He's moved out of the sandbox entirely, taking about a pound of sand with him as he tumbles into the grass, the side of his left sneaker streaked with a green stain. When he sits, he looks up at Richie and frowns, eyebrows scrunched. “You’re crazy.”

or: Eddie Kaspbrak spends most of his life telling Richie Tozier he's a goddamn lunatic.
OR: Everything is inevitable.

Summary
A collection of post-It Ch2 fics that are a mix of domestic Richie/Eddie and social media interactions from all the Losers. None of them have to be read in order, but technically they're all in the same universe, I just made a series collection so it was easier for people to subscribe to future fics in this collection.
