There's a lot of reddie fics about how Richie always has an arm on a chair behind Eddie's shoulders and I want you all to know that makes me feeeeel a lot. Thank you
I'm posting too much but Can you imagine Richie on tour and Eddie staying home and when Richie finally comes back, Eddie is all over him, missing him insanely and also very horny
Dude, your Reddie content is feeding me so well! I love the idea of awkward older Richie hitting on older sarcastic Eds. Like Richie gets all flustered when he sees this grumpy little Adonis, and Eddie just has to be snarky because he literally has no idea how to process a guy this cute and nervous and TALL just staring at him like THAT.
Omggg MY HEARTTTTTTT IT LIVESSSS
Also thank youuuuu!!!
The height difference is so good, and the way Richie's got the broad shoulders and Eddie is pretty slender on the whole, but I LOVE that Richie just mentally exaggerates the size difference between them, like it doesn't occur to him that ANYONE could be more smol than Eddie and he just needs a way to hide the fact that he needs to blurt out how small (read: cute) Eddie is at all times and he ABSOLUTELY gets off on this at least aesthetically if not in a sexy way. (1/2)
Richie: Well we gotta watch out for Eddie, he's like a little ant! He'll get squashed! Look at his tiny little body
Eddie: I'm not that small, asshole! We're not all fucking giant gangly bears like you! With your big fucking shoulders
Ben: this is a weird conversation...
The shifter AU thing... y e a h. IMAGINE Eddie being all like 'Richie, you're not funny at all' while his tail and ears are all twitchy and his pupils are BLOWN with affection. All the Losers exchanging knowing looks at the way Richie's tail starts wagging every time Eddie comes into the room, before he even LOOKS at him (Eddie is the only one who doesn't notice-- he's hardly ever seen Richie's tail NOT wag??)
Omgggg!! YESSS. And Eddie always pretends he's barely listening to Richie but his ears are clearly perked up in his direction!
The gang are just ą² -ą²
Can you imagine a modern AU reddie where Richie always talks about he and Eddie's wedding and what it'll be like and Eddie's like "???? We aren't even dating yet??" but it wasn't like he was going to say no
Itās been ages and I still canāt get over how small Richie sees Eddie as. I keep thinking of that line where he said that the adult Eddie could be sacrificed on a bbq.Ā this haunts my feels
Donāt judge me but I had a thought. What if Reddie were in an AU where people were animal shifters with ears and a tail... because itād be harder to deny their feelings when their tails are moving like woowooowoo!!, like Richieās would go crazy every time!!!
Re: Eddie realizing things because Richie calls him 'babe', this is one hundred percent accurate. When I was young and in love with my best friend, he once casually and platonically called me 'babe' on the phone to confirm movie watching plans and my soul ascended to another plane of existence. I said something incredibly stupid. (at this point, we've got a definite sibling vibe instead of anything romantic but at the time... I was a very reddiecore small-town queer)
omggg Anon, thanks for sharing <3 <3 <3 my hearttt!!!Ā RE:
(1) When Bill asks them who they had crushes on, Eddie had squirmed a little in his seat and named Greta, because she was the only girl he could think of. He couldn't even name any of the girls in their class, or think of what any of them looked like. Bill had volunteered his own crush and Stan had half-heartedly listed the attributes of girls he thought he might like, if he could get to know either of them well enough to know for sure, but Eddie couldn't think of anyone. Not like that.
(2) When pressed, he tried to say why he liked her. He liked that she was tall. He liked her shoulders, maybe? She's older than they are, and cool, unattainably out of his league, why wouldn't he like her? And she's familiar. But he doesn't feel all dreamy when he thinks about her, the way Bill seems to, and he doesn't want to get to know her better, exactly, like Stan wants to. She's just... there, and he can see her some of the time, and maybe she's... pretty?
(3) Uncomfortable with the scrutiny, uncomfortable with the turn of his own thoughts, Eddie turns the spotlight on Richie, the last to answer. He doesn't want to know who Richie has a crush on-- he doesn't want Richie to start hanging out with some girl instead of with them, which is stupid, he doesn't dread Bill leaving them, or Stan. But Bill wouldn't, he thinks, if Bill had a girlfriend she'd have to join them. What if Richie left them for some girl?
(4) "You know I only have eyes for your mom." Richie says, though for a moment he looks as uncomfortable as Eddie with the whole notion. Maybe moreso. Eddie takes a little comfort in the thought that maybe, Richie doesn't have a crush. Maybe, like Eddie, he's a 'late bloomer'-- that's what his mom calls him sometimes, and she always tells him there's no rush to think about things like girls, and maybe he and Richie just both aren't in a rush, and they'll figure it out when they're teenagers.
(5) The rest of lunch goes smoothly, the guys rib Richie a little for not giving a real answer and just sticking to a joke they've all heard before, but mostly they stop talking about girls and start talking about comic books and plans for the weekend and stuff like that, and Eddie feels a weight lift from his chest the further they get from the subject. And then Richie grabs Eddie's tray and trash to stack with his own, like it's not even a thing, like he does it every day.
(6) "I got you, babe." He winks, and Eddie's world shatters. Babe. The word echoes in his head. He hates taking his tray at the end of lunch, because of the little swinging flaps on the garbage cans in the cafeteria, and the whole awkward dance it takes to push them open with his tray so he doesn't have to touch it with his hand and he can still dump his trash in instead of scattering it everywhere, and Richie knows he hates it, but it's the 'babe' that strikes at the core of him.
(7) He doesn't like Greta-- he doesn't like any girls. He likes Richie, and he likes the sound of his voice and he likes that Richie is tall. Well, at least next to Eddie he is, and his hands are bigger than Eddie's, and he's gross and dirty and he's started sweating way too much and Eddie thinks he likes that, too. He likes Richie, not in spite of his being a boy, but because of it. If he didn't like Richie, he would like another boy. He likes boys. He's... He can't breathe.
(8) āEddie! Hey, Eddie!ā Richie is back at his side, as Eddie is still fumbling for his inhaler. He helps himself to the antibacterial gel Eddie carries with him before he takes the inhaler from him, shaking and clearing it before holding it to Eddieās mouth, steady, other hand cupping the back of his head. āBreathe, okay?ā
(9) Richie presses down and Eddie inhales hard. Once, twice. He likes boys, he likes Richie, and Richie is touching him. Touching him so casually, like itās not immense, like itās not dangerous. Touching him so tenderly, like itās allowed. And Eddie wishes it was, wishes he could stay like this with Richie holding him, with Richie calling him things like ābabeā, but once heās breathing again, the moment passes. He feels cold where Richie used to be.
(10) "I'm okay." Eddie says, just a slight wheeze under his voice. Richie is watching him with attentive concern, no longer touching him but still lingering close, and Eddie wants him to linger close forever, and can never ask it of him. When Richie doesn't move away yet, Eddie gives him a reassuring nod, and he settles back into his own seat, but he keeps an eye on him just the same, and it's... nice. Not like with his mother.
(11/11) Richie just says okay, and walks him to his locker-- gives him an exaggerated wink and a 'carry your books, babe?' that makes Eddie's stomach flip, but he doesn't push or hover too close when Eddie says he's fine, and it feels good. It feels right. Richie walks him to his next class, bearing both their English textbooks, his smile so bright it could light Eddie's entire world. Cute, he thinks deliriously. Richie Tozier is cute, cute, cute.
(1) "It's just..." Bev says, her expression wheedling as she holds up the tape measure-- Eddie feels a chill of pure dread run down his spine, because he knows, he knows he hasn't got it in his heart to refuse Bev anything. It would be hard to refuse any of his friends anything, really, but Bev is the sister he never had, they understand each other on a level the others just don't, and he won't say no to this. "I think your measurements are the same as one of my models."
(2) It's menswear. How bad could it be? It's something for a magazine shoot, so maybe it'll be a little more high fashion than the stuff she actually sells for people to wear, but he likes her stuff. Back when he couldn't remember her, or Derry, he'd bought a tie from her spring collection, it's still his favorite tie. He used to wear it for important days at work-- more recently, he's worn it out to dinner with Richie. Saying yes doesn't seem too scary.
(3) Bev takes his measurements and lets out a triumphant whoop when he proves just right-- she's made one round of alterations already and wants to know if she needs to change anything else. She starts him out in a suit. It fits like a dream, and it's a little more... well, 'fashion', than anything Eddie could see himself picking out, but not in a crazy way. Just... too high-end for work. He likes it, though. It's the sort of thing he thinks he'd get married in, if...
(4) There are two pairs of jeans he has to try-- he asks Bev what the odds are of his getting a pair when the casual line drops, because his ass looks fantastic, and she laughs and tells him he can get the pair he's wearing back after the shoot, since any pair he bought wouldn't be pre-tailored. The jeans for Eddie, she jokes, can be Richie's Christmas present. There's a sweater, and a jacket he also likes, a little bit edgy, but maybe New Eddie is a little edgy, too.
(5) And then, she has him try the mesh shirt, with the tighter jeans, the edgy leather jacket, and a mesh shirt doesn't make Eddie think 'fall'-- and it's definitely too edgy even for New Eddie, who dates boys and is back in school for a career he cares about and gives so many fewer fucks what people think than Old Eddie, but he kind of likes getting to play pretend for a little bit. He's not self-conscious like he thought he'd be, not with Bev.
(6) The black mesh softens the look of his scars, though they're visible. The shirt's collar, cuffs, and placket are satin, and he likes the way it all feels, even if there's nowhere on earth he would wear it, and very few people he would wear it in front of. It's when Eddie is just taking off the jacket that the second person he would wear it in front of walks in, Richie's jaw dropping as he takes Eddie in. Black denim, black mesh, half-shrugged out of black leather...
(7) "Wow." Richie takes a halting step forward, and then another, reaches out until his hand just hovers at Eddie's side. He moves over him as if there's a forcefield keeping him just an inch from touching Eddie's chest, his ribcage, his abdomen. "Wow. You look... wow. Can I touch, or will I be killed for crimes against fashion because I wrinkled something? Wow, you... you should get a shirt like this, honestly."
(8) "You can touch." Bev laughs, helping Eddie out of the jacket and hanging it up in its garment bag. "Just don't tear it off him. And don't try to have sex with him while he's wearing any of this, I know you're tempted. Actually, be very careful with that, it's going to be in a magazine shoot this week. And tell me what you think of those jeans, because those are coming back to Eddie after the shoot. You like?"
(9) "Yeah." Richie's voice is soft and shaky, his hands finally landing on Eddie, warm through the mesh. His thumbs rub gentle arcs over Eddie's ribcage, before his hands slide down to rest at his waist, before he leans in for a kiss. It's warm and slow, and Richie is just a little breathless when he pulls away to give Eddie another look-over. "Yeah, I like all of it. Babe, why aren't you modeling for real? I refuse to believe the real model looks better than this."
(10/10) "I'm not modeling this look for anyone else but you." Eddie scoffs. And he knows they'd understand, that if Bev asked her friends to do some kind of concept shoot instead of using real models, he wouldn't be in this, but it isn't really important now. What matters is that he had fun, that he got to play pretend with one of his best friends and be a model for an afternoon. What matters is that Richie thinks he looks good, scars and all. What matters is, New Eddie is happy, edgy or not.
Can anyone help me find a reddie fic on AO3? It was where the gang decided to go to a haunted house and make a video out of it for youtube and the comments were pm "are they a couple??" etc. Please and thank you! THANK YOU SO MUCH @brightmoony The fic I was looking for is here!
Okay but a fumbling, awkward and rambling slightly older (Bill Hader) Richie trying to hit on a slightly older (James Ransone) angry and sarcastic Eddie has my heart.
I would absolutely stan the idea of Eddie realizing he wasn't into girls right when Richie started adding "babe" to his list of nicknames for him.
Can you imagine if reddie are together and Richie is like "now that we're passed repressing everything, when are we having sex?" And Eddie is like "you still want to do that?" And Richie is "umm yes? If it wasn't for pennywise's memory wipe funtime I probably would have thought of this since I was a horny teen.. so yes. Now when?"
Insert Eddie feeling weirdly touched by that
Imagine cop Eddie going to the same cafe on his lunches to constantly meet comedian Richie who purposely goes there to flirt with him. (aka I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW TINY JAMES RANSONE WAS IN SINISTER)
Imagine Bev needing a model for her clothing alterations and she uses Eddie because of his small frame and she's inspired to do overly sexy outfits and then Richie accidently comes in and he just mentally checks out
Eddie: Can you stop telling your twitter followers when we have sex? It's weird.
Richie: *halfnaked and already sent the tweet* whoops
All I'm saying is, I better get a large variety of quirky gay fics for Death Stranding when I finish or I'm gonna throw hands
Summary:Ā It started with a simple game on twitch. A reddie fic with streamer!Richie and youtuber!Eddie. This is my first reddie so I neeeeeed the support in this trying time. (aka I hate my writing lol). I hopefully did not disappoint
I'll have you know I've already written 1k all in one damn night of a Reddie fic and idk what I'm doing and maybe I should make this the first chapter out of possibly 3 for your greedy eyes but I'm excited??????
Usually Richie acted like he was some overly-confident "playa," but what Eddie didn't expect when they first started dating was how surprisingly awkward Richie was, even to stretch an arm behind Eddie's shoulders or to hold his hand or kiss his cheek that Eddie couldn't help feeling a lot of how cuuuute is he??? Just kiss me properly you dummy
I've started to write my first reddie. Pray 4 me.
Would you figure when reddie are older and Richie makes a joke and the one time Eddie forgot not to laugh at it, a giggle slips out and Richie is shocked and acts like it's christmas, pinching Eddie's cheeks while singing "you think I'm funny, you think I'm funny!"??
Imagine a reddie fic where they've danced around each other for so long and Richie taking the initiative and trying to not throw up by ensuring Eddie will come see his band and then they cover eddie, my love??????
There needs to be more reddie prom fics! I can't get enoughh
(Eddie and Richie mostly failing at roleplaying fic is now up under the title 'I Got it Bad and I Got it Good', and thank you for being a font of inspiration!)
YOU ARE TOO KIND!! Can't wait to read it!! EDIT: I LOVE IT SO MUCHHH Go read!!
Here's the link, everyone!
HELL YEAH WE VIBING IN HERE
NOW WITH AN AO3 LINK!
Inspired by my past prompt, Richie has a persistent girl trying to get in his pants so Richie shouts out āIām gay. Iām very very gay,ā and the girl doesnāt believe him so he grab the next boy (Eddie) and quickly whispers, ājust go with it okay,ā before he plants a big kiss on him and the girl walks away, defeated, and Richie actually really likes the kiss and says āwell okay maybe I am gay ācuz wow.ā
Stay with me on this, can there be a fic where Reddie try to roleplay for the first time but they're both ridiculous and keep breaking character because Richie doesn't understand doctor words and Eddie is trying to be fucking accurate.
I didn't expect all of you to follow my trash blog but wowww. Should I make myself attempt a reddie fic when I get to 100?? Im nervouss
