Plssssss elaborate on the shoulder angel/devil au!! Itās so creative! (This is bi-bi-richie)
@constantreaderfool: āI would LOVE to hear more of shoulder angel and demon reddie PLEASEā
thank you so much for taking for taking interest in my headcanon it means a lot!! š„° iāve had this au on my mind for quite a while but iāve never gotten around to writing it, so iām glad people wanna hear about it hdjshdj
@reddieloves suggested that it actually be switched around and eddie could be the demon and richie the angel which i love!!! i definitely considered this when i first started thinking of the au and i think for now iāll go with it :)
eddieās the brave type and i think that would have him pushing stan to do risky things that could definitely have some negative consequences but in his opinion, the thrill is more important than the possibility of something going wrong so why not go for it? richieās a lot more cautious, and he usually just chastises eddie gently because heād rather be nice than argue, but he canāt help going into a strop when eddie starts to get a little flirty or just tries to talk about random things like the different diseases heās heard of with him to take his focus and distract him from his responsibilities
the real loser in this scenario, though, is stan. he has to deal with them for every waking moment, they only quieten down at night to let him sleep and sometimes he thinks that they forget theyāve even got a job to doāthey talk all through his classes and bicker when he tries to have a conversation with his dormmateāhe just feels thankful that everyone can only hear their own angel and demon because god he thinks he mustāve gotten the two who were the absolute worst at their jobs and thatās not a dramatic statement at all
when stan is maybe twenty one he starts to notice that occasionally heāll wake up to find eddie crawling back up onto his shoulder and lying down as if heād been there the whole time, but stan doesnāt really know where heād be going. richie and eddie usually just lay down on his shoulders and stay quiet to let him rest or they go to sleep themselves just to pass time, not that they need it. i think heād let it go the first couple of times but when he manages to undeniably catch him in the act, he asks eddie where he keeps going and not surprisingly, eddie refuses to tell him anythingārichie stays quiet as stan interrogates eddie, but stan supposes he wouldnāt know much about eddieās devious antics anyway
one night he decides that heāll pretend to go to sleep so that he can find out where eddieās going and it actually works, maybe fifteen minutes after stanās eyes close and his breath evens out eddieās climbing off of his shoulder and he thinks he can feel his feet quietly pattering across his chest? heās not too sure, but then he hearsā
āeds, weāre going to get into trouble for this.ā
ābut thatās the fun part, rich.ā
āno itāsā i meanā i know trouble is your whole thing but you know thatās not what i meant.ā
eddie sighs and richie continuesā
āthis is the kind of thing youāll actually be punished for.ā
stan cracks his eyes open just enough for him to be able to see that eddie has in fact moved over to his right shoulder where richie sits, and heās holding one of richieās hands in both of his own and kissing the back of it gently
āi wonāt try to tempt you anymore if it makes you uncomfortable, rich, just say the word.ā
but richie just pauses, and then sighs with a smile, āi wish i could say no to you, eds.ā he pinches eddieās cheek playfully and then eddie does that thing where you kiss from someoneās hand up their arm yk and they lie down finally so stan closes his eyes again but he doesnāt end up getting much sleep that night with richie and eddieās whispers in his ear
