List of Reddie fics that make me cry like a little bitch every time I read them
The anti soulmate au. I have no idea why, but this series makes me so goddamn emotional. I still think about it all the time, and I seriously have made myself cry thinking about it. Something about soulmateless Eddie and post-soulmate Richie learning to love just tugs on my heartstrings, man.
5555. Raise your hand if you have ever been personalized victimized by this fic. The plot twist at the end totally ruined my life. If you haven’t read this, save yourself the heartache. (Actually, you should totally read it. It’s an IT fandom classic and it’s really good despite being emotionally traumatizing.)
first time he kissed a boy by @hannahberrie. This is probably my all-time favorite Reddie fic. It’s such an amazing story and I reread constantly. The last two chapters of the last story make me bawl every single time. Would HIGHLY recommend.
Love Will Find A Way. That scene of Reddie dancing to “Time After Time” while Richie thinks about how much he loves Eddie lives rent-free in my head, man. This fic is sad but it has a happy ending so it didn’t totally ruin me like the rest of these.
This Old Dog. I’ve never seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and I don’t want to because it will not be as good as this fic. It’s heartbreaking and beautiful. Another one I thought about long after I finished it.
the editification of eddie kaspbrak. This fic RUINED “God Only Knows” by The Beach Boys for me. If I even THINK about that song, I get reminded of the scene in this fic where Eddie listens to it and my heart ACHES. This is such a good exploration of Eddie’s character and I would highly recommend even thought it made me cry.
Lover, You’ll Leave a Beautiful Corpse by @rea-du-soleil. The last three chapters really did me in, man. Also, even though it has a happy ending, there’s still this looming knowledge that Eddie and Richie’s time together is limited. But the whole fic is about living life to the fullest while you can and loving people through the pain and brb I made myself cry again writing this.
I don’t know the Tumblr accounts for the authors of these fics, so let me know if you know them and I’ll link them!
