guys ive been working on this reddie fix-it for two months now and it keeps spiralling off into new and confusing directions and FUCK ME i dont know which version to write
i wanna stick to my guns and write the long, angsty version. the version where Eddie isn’t sure, not just because its crazy to think that a 27-year-old crush can become a lasting relationship, but because he’s not sure of himself. his mother fucked him up good and maybe he’s not worth all the trouble Richie went through to save his life. the version where Richie has his own clusterfuck of issues to work through, and may or may not be pinning all his hopes for a happy life on Eddie and has to deal with his mountain of insecurity and self-loathing when Eddie doesn’t immediately reciprocate. the version where the Losers have to watch their idiot friends who are clearly in love with each other get it wrong over and over because neither of them knows how to be in a healthy relationship
i really want to write this version and I really don’t want to fuck it up. i know its just a fic but i want this shit to be right
