Itād be so much easier if they were still together. Heās tried the dating scene and nope. Absolutely the fuck not. Swiping right, left, up, down? Richieās not interested in playing a fucking game of tetris just to date someone. Heās tried to forget about Eddie, tried to move on, tried everything he could.. Flings, casual dating, semi serious relationships and all- nothing compared. Nobody can compare to Eddie.

Okay yall. I have roughly 4-6 scenes I gotta implement in ITYT (Richieās pov to grow as we go) . We are already 3k words LONGER than grow as we go and I still have a bit to go.
IF this all goes well.. IF.. I would LIKE to have this done tonight. It FOR SURE will be finished by the end of this week if not (bc being an adult sucks and I have work and I have to get my car fixed in a few days)
So Iām writing a hallmark-esque fic that includes Eddie and Richie being childhood friends to lovers who broke up, havenāt spoken in 10 years, and reunite around the holidays accidentally when visiting home.
And like yeah Iām excited to write it but I wanna get to the parts that have a never ending loop in my head already like
The first time they realize nothing has changed and theyāre just as in love as they were 10 years prior?
The first time their eyes meet after coming to that realization and seeing that thereās adoration and love still lingering like itās never left (because it hasnāt)
The first time richie sneaks back into Eddieās bedroom window and touches his skin because āI know you feel it too, edsā with Eddieās mouth slightly hung open, trying to hide his blush. They kiss with urgency because this is something they havenāt done in an entire decade of course I wanna get my hands on you?????
Like pls this is gonna be one of my favorite fics Iāve ever written
I know by all means this story wasnāt a masterpiece but it holds such a special place in my heart. I had read a lot of smauās on here before I even attempted to do this to get some ideas. Originally this was gonna be a one-shot long fic that I had dreamt and showered about/mulled over about me as the idea for MC. However, I decided to make it a reader insert, with some inputs of a black reader, to reach more people.
I was also facing a few issues that many smauās get. The first is the use of a typically white/very light skinned, skinny, straight haired reader. Thatās why I avoided the use of pictures as references because I wanted the reader to imagine things for themselves and feel like they were more included in the story. I also avoided using too many body descriptors, other than hair, to talk about MC. I probably could have described them more or used more pictures for outfit references but thatās not totally my style.
Second issue was the use of AAVE or African American vernacular English. If you know me, you know I HATE seeing it in so many smauās because the characters arenāt black or American and do you really think most of these characters would talk like that? With the exception of the occasional use, I donāt think itās something that wouldāve been common use. So I avoided it. Despite be being black AND using black descriptors, I avoided it as much as I could. Like I said, I didnāt wanna alienate too many people.
Thirdly, I was very concerned with characterization. I know I have my own thoughts and feelings on Shinsou Hitoshi, love of my life, but I didnāt want it to be so ooc along with the other characters. I do wish I could have developed Kirishima and MCās relationship a bit better, so maybe Iāll add in some side conversations that the two of them had. For Shinsou, I wanted to highlight how close he still is to Aizawa and how much he values him and vice versa so I hope that got across!
Iām honestly scared I rushed it but I needed to end the story where I ended it. Thereās no possibility of a sequel but I would be inclined to talk more about that universe specifically. I know we barely get any screen or manga time of him but heās really one of my favorite characters and someone I truly love unconditionally. I know itās crazy for a character but itās the truth! And I was more than willing to share my love of him to you all because I knew others might relate to the story! It was a curl all gonna be way more angsty than what I did š
Anyways, I wanna thank all of you for this journey. Yāall are amazing!!
