To Live a Lie is to Not Really Live at All (But Who am I to Judge?) || by ojangel || T || Chapters: 2/3 || Last Updated: May 2020

Rolling his eyes, Eddie moves to pull something from his robe pocket. Richie watches warily. "What're you gonna do?"

"I'm going to melt your glasses," says Eddie, deadpan. Richie blinks, as if just noticing the world is more blurry than usual. Eddie fully reveals the glasses from his pocket— he'd picked them up when he came in— and directs the tip of his wand to one of the lenses. A spell caresses the area behind his lips, waiting to be said aloud.

we live in the summer || by @manycoloureddays || T

Now he’s sixteen, and summer means no classes, no professors constantly watching their every move. No stupid rules about going back to separate common rooms, and “please, Mr Tozier, for the last time, just because it’s impressive magic does not mean I will let you expand the Gryffindor boys dormitory to fit your bed, you belong downstairs. No, that does not mean you can do this in the Ravenclaw dormitory instead. I said downstairs, Mr Tozier.”

Richie loves summer and his friends.

Cruise Control || by @tinyarmedtrex || M

“Hey baby, I’m the welcome wagon and you look like you need a warm welcome.”

Eddie turned, taking in the man standing behind him. He was lanky, the standard white employee shorts hitting well above his knees and the white polo shirt tight on him. In addition to the all white outfit he wore a cocky grin and balanced a platter of shots in one hand. His hair was a tangle of curls that Eddie was sure only got wilder once they mixed with the ocean air.

“A warm welcome?” Eddie asked.

That seemed to be what the man wanted to hear. He pointed to a sign near the shots. ‘Warm Welcome- enjoy a tequila sunrise shot!’

“They’re our specialty.” The man added.

“Because people need to get drunk to dance to this awful music?”

He laughed, warm and full. Eddie liked it. “It’s not that bad is it?”

“I’ve heard Celine Dion three times. I know it’s a gay cruise but-” He put his hands up, a silent ‘come on, really?’.

these lines of lightning mean we’re never alone || by @richietoizer || T

“Well, your father being married meant neither he or I were dependants of our parents, so the only income that was considered when applying for his loans. With that, we were considered low income and got more money than I think we would have if we were dependent on your grandparents.” Maggie said but her voice was quickly turning into a buzz in Richie’s ears. “Of course, your grandparents did help a lot but- Richie?”

“You know, Momma-” Richie jumped up from his seat and rushed to pull on his falling apart boots. “I actually have to go, I totally forgot. Bye. Love you.”

Oh anon, prepare to have your heart broken.

We also have a whole list of Richie getting impaled/dying instead of Eddie which you can find here. If  you’re more into fix-its, you can find them here.

“I am not harmless,” Eddie had said, his eyes thundering—a challenge. “I could ruin your life.”

“I dare you,” Richie had replied, a smug smile on his face.

He thinks about (and scares himself, for a second, with the potency of it) the way it feels when Richie drapes himself over him when they’re gathered at the quarry or the clubhouse. The way his chin rests on the top of Eddie’s head and his chest presses to his back and his stupid bony arms cross in front of him to hold him in place even though they both know Eddie isn’t going anywhere. How he wouldn’t give up that kind of contact with Richie for the world.

The security of it.

And how hadn’t he realized before?
