Summary
A twist on the tale.
When the school's shoe-in for Prom Queen plans for Eddie to be her Laney Boggs, he bolts for the nearest escape route, also known as his best and most loyal friend, Richie Tozier. Richie doesn't blame him; everyone within a foot can see he'd swing another bat at Demon Clown 2.0 to kiss Eddie K.
Maybe that's why he suggests the whole fake-boyfriend thing.

Summary
Eddie Kaspbrak has lived in Derry his whole life. Most people living in Derry have, as it happens, lived there for their whole lives. They get a lot of tourists, but nobody sane would ever willingly move to a town like Derry, because Derry is a crap, dead-end, wasteland where dreams come to die.
Oh, but it has an amusement park.
*
Eddie loathes Turtle Cove, his town's gimmicky attraction. He somehow ends up trawling around the park every summer with Bev, but he'd happily never set foot in there again if there were literally anything else to occupy their time. Even the teenagers that work in the park look miserable, worn down by the outdated turtle theme and the hoards of overexcited thrillseekers. The park may have met its match though in the obnoxious, rude, and steadfastly unfunny Richie Tozier, the first Turtle Cove employee to ever put such panache into wearing a dumb turtle cap and coaxing people to shoot a water gun into a clown's mouth. Eddie hates him already.

Summary
The first time Richie kisses Eddie is an honest to god accident. The uncorking of a steady, eighteen-year-long brew of hormones and puberty and the inexorable pull of those goddamned red shorts.
The next time he kisses Eddie has less of a clear-cut answer.

Summary
“You know, once you do it the first time, it’s really not that big of a deal anymore,” Richie says, his tone comforting. Eddie feels his shoulders relax at his words.
“Sure, but when is that ever going to happen?” Eddie complains, shrugging hopelessly. “People don’t like me as is, I doubt someone would like me enough to want to put their mouth anywhere near me.”
“I put my mouth near you all the time,” Richie replies, then pulls a sour face like he wants to suck the words back in.

Summary
Two weeks after killing IT, it's clear to Eddie that there's something no one is telling him. The last thing he remembers before the hospital is that horrible spider leg stuck in his back and Richie's face, desperate. Then nothing, just Darkness in capital letters and, with almost no transition, the whiteness of the hospital room in which he woke up.
Or: the fic where Eddie has questions, Richie doesn't want to give answers, and they drive from coast to coast trying to find a middle ground between them.

Summary
Sometimes, Eddie caught Richie staring. More often than not, he would make a face or stick out his tongue, and Richie would return it, exaggerated and playful. But other times, Eddie stared back. Richie could feel a blush rising in his face as Eddie held his gaze, level and calm, not curious or judgmental, simply looking. When that happened, Richie would always be the one to look away. He’d quickly turn to another one of their friends and crack a joke, which would make everyone groan or laugh or tell him to shut up, and it would take his mind off Eddie and the way his face got pink when he was outside for too long.
or: five summers that richie and eddie spend together.

Summary
Eddie pulls away, throat bobbing, and says, on a whim, “Tonight was really nice.”
Richie hums, grinning, and kisses the edge of his jaw. “Yeah.”
And something about this whole situation, this date and this strange formality and Richie’s hand on his thigh like he’s thinking about getting to third base, makes Eddie say, “You wanna...come inside?”
---
It's Richie and Eddie's wedding anniversary and Eddie is feeling indulgent.
