It
  • Eddie Kaspbrak, Office Uncle Extraordinaire // teen // complete - Eddie's coworker finally convinces him to bring his elusive spouse to an office party. It goes about as well as you might expect, which is to say spectacularly.
    review: awesome little outsider pov!!! jamie is so very likeable and the characterization is good and i love the dynamic between eddie and richie. richie being so gung-ho about defending eddie is amazing too because he totally would lmao. 10/10 stars.
  • does richie tozier is gay? // teen // in-progress - Richie nonchalantly makes a post about "idiot gays", referring to himself, on Twitter, forgetting he hasn't actually come out to anyone besides The Losers and his manager. Shenanigans ensue.

  • When in Doubt B and E // teen // in-progress, hiatus-ish - The Losers Club decide to break into Richie Tozier's house.
  • It's Not Real // mature // complete - I'm gay. I don't have anything deeper to say at the moment. But this was not a late in life discovery, and I'm tired of pretending. He wrote the tweet in all of thirty seconds, right there on his phone in bed. And the very first response is a quote retweet from someone with a pride flag in their handle that simply reads, no thanks.
  • Tit for Tat // explicit // complete - The twitter tl was full of Eddie showing his appreciation for Richie's chest, I simply had to deliver.
  • Running Away From Harmony // teen // complete - Eddie doesn't normally do this. He has a pretty simple policy, he does his job, gets changed, goes home. That's it. He never puts on his street clothes and walks to the main desk. He certainly never tries to see anyone he brings in. He helps people, drops them off and moves on. So he has no idea what the fuck he's doing as he walks over to Nurse Deborah at the front desk in his jeans and polo shirt and asks "Is Richie Tozier still here?" "Umm.. let me check. Why, are you a fan of his?" What? Was this guy famous or something? Eddie supposed that was why his face looked vaguely familiar which explains part of the questions he has. What that doesn't explain is why that guy said his name . If that even was his name, it was only half of it after all, but it was clear as a bell. Eds. Eddie couldn't figure out why and honestly, he also couldn't figure out why it was bothering him so much. Maybe seeing the guy again could help him just make sense of it all. Then he can move on. A 35 year old comedian slips and whacks his head on the sidewalk. The EMT who comes to his aid is weirdly familiar... 5 years before IT comes back Richie and Eddie meet before they forget once more.
  • love on the telephone // explicit // complete - Richie goes away on tour. Eddie learns that phone sx is a real thing.
  • sweeter by the hour // explicit // complete - Richie's a struggling standup comedian slash bartender with a side hustle of sxting rich guys for cash. Eddie is recently divorced, recently out, and reluctant to dive into either the dating or hookup scene. He decides to give Sugr, a 'dating app with no commitment', a shot.
  • Richie's Perfect Boy Checklist // teen // complete - Miranda Lawerence had been trying to set Richie 'Trashmouth' Tozier up for years now. Little did she know, she had just been waiting for a tiny spitfire from Maine to come into their lives.
  • a name spoken sweetly // explicit // complete - If she's afraid to say it, well - so be it. Saying it puts it into the world. But then she looks at Eddie, and he's frowning at her, this gentle expression she only ever sees on him. Warmth and concern. She adores him. She touches his face, runs her thumb over the thin scar tissue.
    ARCHIVER'S NOTE:
  • Work Friends and Emergency Contacts // general // complete - Damon Peters worked hard to make Eddie Kaspbrak his best friend, and he doesn't intend to let the return of his childhood memories wipe him out. He also doesn't intend to let their coworkers talk shit behind Eddie's back while he's out recovering- it isn't Eddie's fault that he doesn't want to let any of them know him.

Stranger Things
  • Love, Mike // general // complete - "Will sighed and rolled onto his side, preparing himself for more fidgeting, but something underneath the bed caught his eye. It was a stack of letters, all sealed. At first, Will thought they must've been sent by El, but none had any stamps on them. When Will looked at the messy scrawl on the paper, he realized the address on the envelope wasn't Mike's. It was Will's. And they had Will's name on them." Will found letters in Mike's room addressed to him. Despite knowing he shouldn't read them, Will's curiosity drove him to open the mysterious letters hiding under Mike's bed. The contents are certainly not what Will expected.
    review: super sweet!!! i love the fics that bring up the letters and this one just gave me such a warm feeling omg.... 10/10
  • Drowning in Silence // not rated // in-progress - In 1989, Mike Wheeler heads to college, but instead of finding freedom, he's consumed by loneliness and depression. Turning to alcohol and reckless behavior, he struggles to cope with his fear about his sexuality. In desperate attempt to prove himself, Mike sleeps with anyone who will have him. Weeks later when a girl named Ashley shows up with a positive pregnancy test, claiming he's the father of her child, Mike's world is shattered. After the birth Ashley disappears, he's left alone to care for the baby, barely scraping by, struggling to afford food and balance his overwhelming responsibilities.

  • You're so gorgeous (I can't say anything to your face) // general // complete - Mike is (not) upset that he's the only one of his friends that hasn't received a Valentine. That is, until something just so happens to fall out of his locker the next day.
    review: omgggggg this fic is so GOOD like, i'm always down for self-conscious of his looks mike but the LETTERS and it being valentines day and will deciding to do this is just so sweet augh......

  • <i guess that i'm getting too old for this // general // in-progress - Mike notices that Will sometimes acts a little childish. Being the good, supportive boyfriend that he is, he encourages Will to regress.
    review: very cute!! i'm not one to pass up age regression content with them and while i usually prefer the opposite, this fic is still very very good and i'd definitely reread it! it makes sense for will and the plot flows naturally and it actually is pretty realistic + the interactions themselves are adorable between regressed will and cg mike 10/10
  • smalltown boy // teen // in-progress - mike has yet to find a song that will be effective for him against vecna, but perhaps help will come from unlikely persons.
    review: GOD this is already hard hitting and a masterpiece wtf i am eagerly waiting to see more just on the premise of the mike and robin tag (no pressure 100 percent tho!!) dated 3/7/25
  • Thought I'd be Cool in California // general // complete - When Mike comes back from California there's something weighing heavily on him, a realisation it's taken years to acknowledge. Dustin and Lucas know their friend better than anyone and they'll be damned if they don't get to the bottom of it.
    review: this is proof we need more of them bonding i swear cause they are friends!!!!!! they all deserve it!!!! but this fic is so good and even if mike is having a bit of a Time it's still very heartwarming
