Masterlist: Losers in College
Summary: After gradually moving away during high school and spending a couple of years at different universities, the Losers, for one reason or another, all end up back in Maine. They have all basically forgotten each other over time, so they must meet again on campus and reestablish their connection.
Pairings: Richie/Eddie, Ben/Beverly
Rating: T (any nsfw will be posted separately)
Notes/Links: This is a big co-author/RP project I’m working on, as Eddie, with @richiefuckfacetozier as my Richie, as well as @hanscomarsh, @bcnvcrly, @mikehanlonstan, and @hiyo-silver-away! Our Tumblr is @losersincollege, which has more info, as well as the Losers responding to questions that get sent in! Talk to us!
I’ll be updating this masterlist post only with chapters I’m heavily involved in as Eddie, but everyone should read everything (especially if you like friendship building!!) - Here is the Link to the Full Story on AO3!
Eddie and/or Reddie Chapters:
Moving In: After transferring to UMaine from New York, Eddie tries to settle into his new, shared dorm.
“It’s cathartic, in a way, packing and unpacking; it allows him to pretend at least for a moment that he’s always on the go, never staying in one place for very long.”
Meeting Richie: In his very first class of the semester, Eddie meets One (1) very persistent boy.
“Everything from the habitual nature of the movement to the blatant and distracting smudges on both lenses momentarily lifts the veil of cockiness Richie entered the room with. It makes Eddie want to know him.”
Meeting Bill: Eddie joins Richie and his roommate, Bill Denbrough, for dinner.
“It can’t just be Richie, though, it has to be something else - there isn’t a reason for Richie’s scent to make him feel so much, so intensely. It makes him ache for something - home, he realizes, though his mother has never smoked in her life.”
Meeting Ben: Bumping into someone and spilling a drink on them - a classic way to make a new friend.
“Eddie looks down at his drink and fiddles with the straw a bit, mulling over Ben’s words in his head, particularly ‘you’re strong’. Rarely do people say that about him, and even more rarely does he believe it himself, but something about Ben makes him trust it, in this one instance.”
