In Ten Years Time (If I'm Still On Your Mind)

SUMMARY:

It’d be so much easier if they were still together. He’s tried the dating scene and nope. Absolutely the fuck not. Swiping right, left, up, down? Richie’s not interested in playing a fucking game of tetris just to date someone. He’s 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.

Ooooo ok what would ITYT Shalaska do for Valentine’s day? Both their first and their most recent 10 Years one! 💕💕

sharon wasn’t much into valentine’s day in school (as opposed to alaska, who’d literally pass out valentines to her friends bc she’s just so adorable and nice and sharon can hardly understand it.) they’d end up driving around town at dusk until sharon found a quiet place to park her car where they could kiss & alaska could chide sharon that “you really are such a romantic” – which wasn’t totally untrue, because sharon did make alaska a valentines-themed mixtape that alaska would be squealing about the whole ride home. 

for their most recent valentine’s day, they decide to cook a nice meal together in their lil kitchen because they’re domestic and i lov them. alaska’s got her hair up in a high ponytail, wearing mid-calf socks & one of sharon’s giant old university crewnecks. sharon’s already got a glass or two of wine in her, and she ends up abandoning the food entirely to fuck her girlfriend on the counter. she’s never heard alaska say “oh my god, i love you” so many times in one sitting ;)))

Okay yall. I have roughly 4-6 scenes I gotta implement in ITYT (Richie’s 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)

No excuses - you asked for this ask: POV of another Loser for your new fic?

We gettin ALLLL the POVs (not formatted. Wasn’t expecting to whip up parts of texting for the most part of this small lil paragraph either, but alas)

Stan buzzes with excitement when the unprompted text from Richie comes

Richie, 9:26pm: I KISSED EDDIE. EDDIE KISSED ME BACK!!!! STAN PINCH ME RN THIS IS NOT REAL

Staniel, 9:27pm: YOU DID WHAT

It’s been a long time since he’s heard those words, and if his own beautiful fiance wasn’t sleeping peacefully next to him, he would be chatting up Richie on the phone, gossiping like they were still in high school. They’ll have to settle with texting for now, and that’s fine, he can keep up with Richie’s excitement, but he knows on the inside Richie is most likely waiting to gush about it, hands trembling with every letter he types.

Those two idiots have been in love for over an entire decade. This all could’ve been resolved years ago, but they’re too fucking stubborn, so Stan is honestly just content that it’s even happening at all.

Bill, 11:52pm: it’d be,, some kind of,, miracle if Richie and Eddie got back together… don’t u think

Stan, 11:52pm: I wouldn’t call it a miracle… but it’s def gonna happen tho

Bill, 11:55pm: … what do you know

Stan, 11:56pm: … what do YOU know

Bill, 11:56pm: …i was gonna convey it in emojis but there’s no mistletoe emoji

Stan, 11:57pm: omg you know

Bill, 11:57pm: omg YOU know

Heyyy not to be THAT person but are you actually going to post your Richie version to grow as we go or 🥲

Hey anon! So I’m glad you’re excited for it as am I but it is coming! I promise, I’m not just stringing yall along with it.

I’m trying to make it a standalone fic from another perspective while simultaneously being able to be seen as the same fic but obviously being a “tie in” to the original, and I didn’t realize how hard that is. By rewriting the same conversations to seem different, different scenes from another perspective in the same time frame, trying not to accidentally create plotholes, while editing/beating as I write- it’s a lot of work!

But I promise it’s on the way. I have a few more scenes to write but the last few are not coming to me as easy.

[richietoaster]

So yall, some exciting updates!!!!

FIRST.

“Richies version” (pov) of my fic, Grow As We Go, officially has a title: “in ten years time (if I’m still on your mind)” I’ll be shortening this to ITYT when talking about it. Thank yall for voting in the poll!

SECOND.

ITYT’s word count currently stands at 6.3k words. I literally wrote 5k of this TONIGHT. Within like four hours. It’s still not at the peak of the plot yet, so I feel whole heartedly this will be passing the word count of the first installment, which had I believe 14.3k words.

So I’m very excited for this!!!! Hopefully, HOPEFULLY by the end of the week I can get this pushed out. I really want to finish it BEFORE the new year starts and if I can keep this up, I have no doubt it will be done by Saturday/Sunday evening

Idk if this makes sense but in my mind Alaska was kinda sad about the fight and not telling her gf that she loves her or anything so she wasn't able to like fully enjoy the party but when Willam and Courtney were like let's go and was up out of her seat and calling Sharon the second she was home and apologising.

oh no this is totally true 

alaska was thinking of sharon the entire time she was out, and she definitely called her once she was home in bed & still a lil buzzed to tell her baby everything that reminded her of sharon at the party, saying how sorry she was for being dramatic earlier & not considering sharon’s feelings!

idk if u can tell but i’m truly in love with ITYT shalaska <3

Well finally the vidcast is up. Justin apologizes profusely for taking so long. He was attending Dashcon this last weekend and so he was busy dressing up in his cosplays for a first year convention in Schaumburg, Illinois. As a consolation for the late video you can have an extra hour in the ball pit. http://youtu.be/BkamVu09Acc
