Author Appreciation Post
The fantastic @towanda-is-writing tagged me to post my five favorite fics that I've posted/published. I had a bit of trouble thinking of which fics to choose because I love them all and they're all my favorites, but I thought about the ones that I tend to reread most often (yes, I reread my own stuff. I'm my target demographic 🤣) and these 5 are the ones I go to the most.
I’ll take you where you want to be (Rated M) A fix-it fic (of sorts) where Chrissy and Eddie leave town during spring break thereby avoiding all of the Vecna/Upside Down stuff of season 4. It has all the tropes: camping, there was only 1 bed, road trip, etc, but it also has a lot of joy, angst, humor, and heart. Even though this fic was just completed back in February, it has quickly become one of my favorites.
love is never done so easily (Rated M) This is a not-quite-anti-Hallmark Holiday Movie fic, but rather it follows what happens to the people that get dumped and their journey back to the big city and fast paced lives that the Hallmark couple had rejected. In this fic, Eddie and Chrissy get dumped by their significant others and meet in the airport and journey back home together and learn to trust and hope again (and maybe fall in love) along the way. It is easily one of my favorites to reread.
That's the Look, the Look of Love (Rated T) This is a fic where we get to watch Chrissy and Eddie fall in love but through the perspective of the people around them when they get their first glimpses of the pair together. This was such a fun and challenging fic to write since each of the 12 chapters was from a different person's POV. Well, actually chapter 12 had two different POVs, so... But anyways, I really enjoy rereading this one.
When You Move Into My Airspace (Rated M) This is a fic that started out as a 1-shot, but grew into an 8-chapter fic. It's Eddie and Chrissy meeting and falling in love through their shared love of scary movies. It has fluff, angst, hurt/comfort, and so many references to horror movies from the 70s and 80s.😆 I know I said I don't want to pick favorites, but if I truly had to pick one favorite, this would probably be it. I love this fic and can always find time to reread it.
More Than This (Rated E) This fic is part 2 in a series, but it's my favorite in said series. It's from Chrissy's POV where she and Eddie start a secret affair and explore kink, but since it's set in 1986 in a small town in Indiana, they have zero guidance about how to go about it. So they end up stumbling and bumbling their way through the dynamics of BDSM and manage to fall in love in the process. This is the most sexually explicit fic on this list, but it also has so many feelings and so much heart. I absolutely love it and... honestly, it could give When You Move Into My Airspace a run for it's money for my favorite fic.
And now to tag the five authors I appreciate and that I'd like to see appreciate themselves and their works.🥰
