Richie’s not a very nice kid.

And Eddie knows that better than anyone.

- Expert:

Today is Eddie's last day of high school.

If someone created a time machine and traveled through the intergalactic tunnel of space and time to Eddie’s last day of sixth grade and told his prepubescent self that this is how he’d finish off his high school career he’d probably be majorly confused.

If they programmed it to go back to the last day of eighth grade and told his slightly less prepubescent self the same thing, he might be a little less confused.

Nonetheless, telling a little boy that he’d end his senior year in love with the kid who tormented him for most of his life will indefinitely spark some confusion.

But the Eddie from this day and age; the Eddie who is eighteen years old and has already lived through all of that, plus some, is not confused.

He is not confused about his feelings for Richie.

Bright as yellow by speakslow (30/30 | 120337 | mature)

“ ‘Remember that hot guy I couldn’t stop turning around to stare at while watching the movie? Y’know, the one I stalked? He’s being hilarious in my math class full of nerds.’ You honestly think that’s my fault, Eds?”

Eddie felt his cheeks heating up, because Richie was right about all of it. Well, most of it. “My name is Eddie, not Eds. And I didn’t stal–”

“Nice to meet you, Eddie. See, isn’t that better? Eddie and Richie, Richie and Eddie. R plus E. It has a nice ring to it.”

say what you mean (out loud) by Redburn (1/1 | 7404 | teen)

Richie can’t help it when something heavy refuses to leave his stomach, something relentless and daunting. He looks at Eddie and can’t help but want, can’t help but need, watching this boy watch the stars and thinking he would be happy to spend the rest of his life just like this, right here standing next to him. Or, Richie realizes he likes Eddie and promptly goes through the five stages of grief.

on pointe by tossertozier (rednoseredhair) (20/20 | 72950 | explicit)

eddie was a freshman at boston university of the arts, majoring in dance with a concentration in ballet. he went to sleep early, woke up earlier & took nothing for granted.

he fucking hated his dorm neighbors, loud, obnoxious idiots who got drunk all the time. they didn't even know where the library on campus was. he didn't have any idea how the three of them, especially the one with curly hair, even GOT into that school.

“piano prodigy,” the tall one explained “got magic fingers”

eddie nearly punched him

& he didn't believe him, nobody on their floor believed richie tozier could have been a prodigy of anything, especially when he slept through midterms & mixed up the dates for finals. when eddie heard the gossip he was relieved, he was overjoyed. he thought they’d kick him out & he would finally get some goddamned peace and quiet on his floor - and more time to rehearse.

until, first day of class in january when his teacher walked in with an overzealous expression “class, we have a student who will be joining us this semester for an extra credit opportunity. please welcome your new rehearsal pianist, richie tozier.”

oh.

oh no.

Steady Feet, Don't Fail Me Now by richietoaster (1/1 | 9870 | mature)

“You know how to dance?” Eddie demands, still skeptical, and Richie is almost offended. “Yes, actually,” he scoffs with a good natured laugh. “Is that so hard to believe?” Eddie opens his mouth, but Richie cuts him off before he can tell his friend that yes, that’s incredibly hard to believe. “Don’t answer that, dickhead,” Richie says as he gets up, wiping his sweaty palms onto his jeans. “C’mon, get up.” He instructs and holds out a hand to pull Eddie to his feet. “I’m teaching you.”

Changes by NemiMontoya (10/10 | 20918 | teen)

When Richie comes to school with a new look and suddenly becomes a lot more popular, a worried Eddie realizes that his feelings for his best friend are not what he thought they were.

Find Your Fire by endversed (1/1 | 16354 | teen)

Richie Tozier meets a cute firecracker of a guy when he accidentally sets off the fire alarm in his apartment.

It's just too bad that said guy has got a boyfriend - doesn't he?

Things that Happen after Eddie Lives by IfItHollers (11/11 | 107947 | explicit)

In a world where Richie manages to save Eddie from It after the deadlights, they still have problems on their to-do list. Featuring everything from Derry to Los Angeles—Richie Tozier's murder trial, Eddie Kaspbrak's divorce proceedings, bedsharing of the platonic and non-platonic varieties, an investigation of magic, a truly disgusting séance, the quintessential morosexual road trip, and OH MY GOD THEY WERE ROOMMATES.

tear it with your teeth by belby (8/8 | 32105 | mature)

"We could leave this place, Eddie," Richie says. "God, imagine that? Not having to live in this trash dump anymore. We could go wherever we wanted. A different place every night."

wonder violet by belby (6/6 | 74351 | mature)

"Right." Eddie's not sure what to think. "Well, thanks, for sticking up for me." Eddie's also not sure if he means that, but it feels like something he should say.

"Yeah, 'course," Richie replies. "You're my sister's best friend."

Yourself or Someone Like You by halfempty (12/12 | 338,787 | explicit)

Maxine looked happy as they parted from Steve and walked down Main Street away from the theater. She slid into the passenger seat of Billy’s car. 'That was really fun,' she said. She looked at him like a gremlin and then smiled real cutesy. 'Did you and Steve hold hands in the popcorn?'

'I hope you had a real good time, I’m going to kill you in your sleep tonight,' Billy told her.

stand (in the place where you live) by Boardingschooled (17/17 | 180,998 | explicit)

After the gate is closed, Billy Hargrove has to face the consequences of what he's done, and it's all thanks to Hopper and his habit of taking in strays.

Alternatively: Billy becomes a good big brother, learns how to apologize, and makes some very gay mixtapes, not in that order.

Golden Boy by Veeebles (10/10 | 53641 | explicit)

He can’t stand his kindness. Can’t stand the pity or the care. He doesn’t want Steve’s soft touches, doesn’t want him patching him up, cleaning away the blood and kissing the bruises. He wants the hurt, wants Steve to add to it, wants him to pull the cuts into deep gashes that bleed and scar. He wants the bruises to be in the shape of Steve’s fingers, his mouth, his teeth. He wants Steve to burn himself into his skin so there is no Neil left anymore just Steve.

That Douchebag Steve Harrington by blithesea, womenseemwicked (21/21 | 55074 | explicit)

The Hargroves come to Indiana one year early. The town of Hawkins is all abuzz about its first missing persons case in decades, but all Billy cares about is figuring out how much Steve Harrington really wants to date the stick-in-the-mud Nancy Wheeler and whether he can stop that from happening.

A Light To Guide You In The Dark (Warmed By The Fire's Glow) by regionals (1/1 | 18624 | teen)

Billy’s hands end up cradling Steve’s face again, feeling something warm blooming behind his ribs, and maybe they’re a little pathetic — lying in a hotel room in Ohio, getting misty eyed as they make out — but Steve feels like home and everything holy and it’s fine.

Saint Anger by maikurosaki (100,139 | 7/7 | Explicit)

Hopper sighed and scratched his beard. “Look, kid, the reason why I'm offering you a second chance is because you need it. You don't deserve it, but you need it. So I got your back.”

Or how, on his harrowing road to redemption (because second chances don't come easy), Billy Hargrove loses a good-for-nothing father, but gains a tough little sister, a giant older brother, a preppy boyfriend, and an obnoxious pack of nerds, not necessarily in this particular order.

Kill me with your smile by CeruleanHeart (6/6 | 15,886 | Mature)

Steve thinks he's got a secret admirer who leaves gifts in his school locker. Billy's tells himself he doesn't have a bad conscience. But what he definitely does have is an addiction for a certain pretty boy's smile.

mistletoe and other holiday propaganda by brawls (brawlite), ToAStranger (9/9 | 54,648 | Explicit)

Everybody wants something for Christmas.

It just so happens that the only way for everyone to get what they want is for Billy and Steve to pretend to be dating over Christmas break. It's really the only option.

The Buddy System by flippyspoon (1/1 | 12,785 | Teen And Up)

Billy becomes pals with Nance. Who knew? Steve smokes weed and sings Fiddler on the Roof. Jonathan maintains.

Incident at Castle Byers by flippyspoon (1/1 | 3,639 | General)

Heaven Hits Me When I See Your Face by trashcangimmick (6/6 | 25,972 | Explicit)

College is wild. Steve’s doing his best not to be a disaster. It’s just hard when his next-door neighbor seems to be allergic to shirts and looks like a goddamn supermodel.

//implied/referenced child abuse.

dried up, half full by lymricks (8/8 | 60,016 | Explicit)

Steve’s been coming out here searching for a monster in the woods. He’s finally found one.

“What do you want, Hargrove?”
