HELLCHEER FIC REC — SUMMER ‘26 EDITION

aka fics I’ve read recently that scream summer or are just very hot

- summertime swing by @gunmetal-ring : this is probably my favourite hellcheer summer fic!! gunmetal writes such a bold loud dumb charming down bad eddie in such a distinctive prose you won’t get enough!! this fic is fun and sweet and hot and kickstarted my current summercamp!au obsession!!

- belladonna by @corishat : this fic feels like being young and full of dreams and hopes and going out on one of those summer nights to catch a shooting star and make a wish!! It’s the 70s! they’re aspiring musicians! they’re roommates! what could you possibly want more from a story???!!! I’ve loved this fic since it was just an idea and I can’t wait to see the story unfold and you should all get onboard right now!! also comes with a killer playlist!

Vienna by intothetrees: miss Trees is one of my favourite authors and I could actually do a fic rec with just her fics where I ramble in detail about why I love them and how much she gets! eddie! the same way I get eddie BUT I wanted to keep it summer themed so I’ll just tell you to go read this delicious before sunrise (aka the best summer romance) au and I know it’s just one chapter but have you considered it’s actually an amazing first chapter and you’ll never know when an update could come!! and while you’re waiting you could read the hottest smutty trilogy aka Movie Night !!

-tell her what she’s won by @writrsblock : this is a summer fic because I say so and because TV quizzes are a summer vibe to me. Like imagine school ended you’re home a bit bored and you turn on the TV and there’s a pretty girl with a fiancé who can’t even remember her favourite movie and she actually has way more chemistry with the other couple’s guy?? wtf? this fic is deliciously angsty but also hilarious with the added bonus of TV hosts!stobin !!

Hellcheer fanfic rec; 2025 edition!

Can’t believe I did my first Hellcheer fic rec back in 2022 when it was still “eddissy” thank God we’re officially hellcheer now, because eddissy was so ugly, ugh. Anyway, I’m still here, stronger than ever, doing what I love the most (rambling about fanfic). I’m glad to report that the fandom is thriving as usual, despite being such a small ship, and we’re still blessed with so many talented authors!!

So, what have I liked recently? (bear in mind I took a hiatus, so there are still plenty of fics I’ve bookmarked but haven’t caught up with yet) .You’ll find some well known names (look, I’m a loyal reader, once I stick with an author I’ll follow them to the weirdest trope and beyond) and some new entries I’m so happy to have discovered.

Starting strong with @jewelledfoxes — for some reason, I don’t recall reading their works before 2025, which is absolutely crazy because they’re amazing!!! And they write exactly what I love the most!!! In particular, I’m obsessed with Hard & Fast, a roommate!AU that absolutely nails the “sources of mild irritation to lovers” trope. This is one of those one-shots that makes you wish it were a longfic because I can’t get enough of their dynamic. Also, hot. Very hot. I can’t not mention The Arrangement (bossy Chrissy!!! Femdom!!! YES!!!!!) and Stupid, Stupid, Stupid (hello?? the angst?!!!!) as the other two on the podium — but seriously, just read everything they’ve written. It’s so, so good. I’ll patiently wait for more ♡

My beloved @gingertumericlemon delivered the hottest, most gut-wrenching, heartbreaking summery fanfic with Red and White All Over. I’m such a sucker and so is chrissy apparently for a good you can fuck fingerbang me in a public toilet but NOT kiss me because oopsie-doopsie I’ve actually got a boyfriend ♡ Isn’t it lovely? Why do I giggle and kick my feet so much when Eddie Munson suffers more than Jesus? I guess we’ll never know! What we do know is that we can always count on Ginger for a 10/10 fic.

Speaking of my sadistic tendencies, @uwusillygirl (who — coincidentally!!! — also has an amazing series with sadist!Eddie) outdid herself with a wretched hooker!Eddie in In Your Extra Time and Your Kiss, a Pretty Woman!AU. I cannot explain how much I loved this fic, and mind you, I don’t even like Pretty Woman!!!! It’s hot and tender and fun, and there’s this perfect Eddie/Steve dynamic too. It’s never, ever cheesy, and this Chrissy is also one of my favorite AU!Chrissys (I’m sorry, Richard Gere, but she’s like a thousand miles superior). I might have shed a couple of tears reading the finale, but I won’t say it out loud.

Now since it's kinktober, the 2 fics that have made my kinky heart very happy: first, Hard Reset by a uhm, lovely anonymous ♡, is everything I didn't know I needed: bimbo!chrissy too dumb to cum!!! would someone help her??? thanks god there's this chatobot virus\ghost\idk around !!! this is not just really hot but also really fun and the 00s aesthetic is unmatched!! I'll actually use a butterfly dividers in its honor!

Second, I Wanna Set You Reelin’ / I Wanna Make You Feel the Way That I Do by the lovely @writrsblock that delivers a deliciously mean!Chrissy (yes, I do love mean Chrissy!!!! and what about that??!!) with a fluffy, happy ending ♡ (also spitting and coming-on-tits, as a treat — for me specifically!!!)

Now for the fairytale/spooky vibes — this gem posted in 2023 that I somehow missed: Offer Me Your Hunger by @juiceinpanties, a Little Red Riding Hood retelling with a writing style so good it really catapults you into the right mood! I wish I could write like that!!!

I’ll soon do a safe-for-work / not E-rated list too to beat the perv allegations

hellcheer fanfic rec (part: I lost count)

My current favourite, the fanfic that has bewitched my body and soul:

scratch it into flickering flame by @corishat

Do you want to tear your heart out for some of the best Eddie/Wayne dynamic out there? Do you want the going back to your small shitty hometown for the worst possible reason ever and finding yourself falling again for your high school crush? And most importantly, do you want chef!Eddie?—sorry, station chef!Eddie— (I know you all want chef!Eddie!!!). This fic gives you all that and more, the hellcheer interaction will make you giggling, kicking your feet, punching the pillow!! One of the things I love the most is how realistically grown up the characters feel, like they're not necessarily wiser, but you can tell they're in a different stage of life compared to their high school version, and it feels really natural, it feels like you're reading about real humans and not just a bunch of tropes glued together! Ultimately this is a story about finding your village and it's truly a comfort fic to me ♡

Also (great bonus!!) it comes with a playlist I've become completely obsessed with and it's fully responsible for my spotify homepage now looking like this:

What are your top five hellcheer smut/explicit fics as you’ve written some of the greatest ones I read

First of all, you’re flattering me, and I send you a MUAWH on the forehead. I’m never 100% happy with the smut I write and I have the biggest impostor syndrome, so it’s always nice to find out there are people out there who actually like my stuff ♡

That being said, you asked probably the hardest question of them all. All the E-rated fics I recommended in my rec lists are my favorites — picking only five was HARD (no pun intended!!). It also depends a lot on what mood I’m in: sometimes I crave very explicit, raw stuff; sometimes I want the smut to be poetic and evocative; sometimes I want it hot and fun, etc. etc.

But I narrowed it down to a selection of five fics that I not only love, but that also really inspire me as a fanwriter:

Dirtbag by betts: this is one of my favorite examples of smut that’s so integral to the story it’s basically a character analysis. In particular, I love love love the breeding kink sofa scene and the first cuckolding scene!! And the way the sex scenes differ between the past and present timelines (even down to how they kiss!!!) versus the finale mirroring the characters’ evolution, it’s just... chef’s kiss!!

reality and other highs: all the smuts from hibiscus_tea are 10/10, but if I had to choose one, this is my fave example of smut being sweet and tender and hot and wet and full of feelings ♡

red and white all over by ginger: this is my favorite when I want my smut mean and angsty ♡ which is basically all the time, because I am, fundamentally, at my core, an angsty bitch with some brief moments of tenderness!

church girl by cat: when I want my smut to be fun!! Everything is so fun here, from the premise to the execution, and also, anal!! I feel like there’s a concerning lack of anal in the Hellcheer fandom; we should do something about that!!!!

i’m following lightning: to me, this is a masterclass in building sexual tension. The actual smut scene is no longer than 10 lines, but they’re like the hottest 10 lines ever. And the way the author gets you there is just perfect. Also a perfect example of how to write something very kinky in a show-not-tell way, without unnecessary over-explanation or unnatural, endless consent negotiation.

EDDISSY FIC REC PART 3

Part 1; Part 2; eddissy wips list;  

Church Girl by catalystcomet: starting strong with this smutty first time-doing-anal. This is hot and fluff and absolutely hilarious (my favourite quote: “Baby, you have got to stop getting sex advice from youth group.”).

Picnic Table Altar by @faequeentitania: okay at this point you already know this is 100% my jam. Body worship, religious imaginary, simp & adoring eddie. This is hot and well written and you got the dual pov too. 

he's got that special somethin' by @agentmmayy: agentmmay’s smuts are my absolutely favourite ♡ this made me 100% team Eddie Munson is a Virgin™️. It’s hot and fun and the initial misunderstanding had me wheezing. Chrissy  thinking that special K actually means special D reminded me when I was at a college house party in London and people kept going upstair and I was 100% sure they were hooking up with each other and there was some kind of intense swinging\cheating situation going on and they had to explain to me they were actually doing coke. True story. 

(let's start) an anonymous club a series by @desert-dino A modern setting\college AU, each fic can be read as a standalone. This is so good and the smut is sexy af (and yes references to religion + light references to cannibalism\want to eat someone’s heart which I’ve appreciated SO MUCH!!!).

NEW WIPs I HAVE BOOKMARKED

Sweet Lady Cinnamon by @seicchan-art: actually I recommend everything written by Toby, they’re one of my fav author and I just love all their fics too much ♥ but this gem in particular is for all my fellow weebs, you cannot miss it!! Maid Cafe!AU, Eddie being the desperate simps he is, and the Corroded Coffins guys being dorks. 

have you seen her dressed in blue? by @empress-of-snark: some times ago I wrote this post  about how I’d love to read a “eddie and jason are actually best friend but eddie still has a massive crush on chrissy AU”, well there it is!!! I love this so much, the PINING!! the ANGST!!! Go read it now!!

EDDISSY FIC REC PART 4 

Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; wips list

Sorry, I haven’t read many fanfics this month, but you absolutely need to check these three:  

The shop around the corner by @adelaideelaine: I’m so happy miss adelaideelaine is officially on tumblr so that I can properly tag her ♡ she’s one of my favourite hellcheer author!! This fic is an absolute delight (rated M so it’s perfect if you’re not into nsfw stuff) inspired by You’ve Got Mail. It’s cute and fluffy and I am a slut for the “eddie munson acts like a jerk but he’s actually the biggest soft simp” concept! It 100% nails the 90s romcom vibes, go read it!! 

reality and other highs by @chrissy-n-eddie: I’ve already mentioned this fic some time ago in my “wip I am currently reading” list, but it absolutely deserves to be recommended because it’s so so good, I am obsessed (’still thinking about chapter 3). If you enjoy sweet smut with a lot (seriously, A LOT) of feelings you have to read it. Also, at this point I’ve read hundreds of re-edition of the picnic table scene, but the one in this fic is definitely the cutest !! 

alexa, play “she bop” by cyndi lauper by @majicmarker: listen, LISTEN, one thing I’ll always be jealous of is being able to write fun stuff... like how do you write something that’s so hot and at the same time absolutely hilarious ??? this fic is a gem. Eddie works in a sexy shop adult boutique here... he’s also a desperate virgin with the most gigantic crush. The group dynamic with the rest of the gang is A+ which is always a bonus. No angst, just good vibes and horny people experimenting with edible lube, what else do you need ??? This will became your new feel-good fic, 100% guaranteed. 

[tofania]

do you have other hellcheer fics recommendation? I love teen beat

Yesss 🌸 let's go, these are some of my favorites besides Teen Beat

Tenderness by AdelaideElaine: (I don't usually recommend on-going fic but this and teen beat are the exceptions) it's a very cute summer camp!AU, I love the writing, the setting, the whole gang is there, it's sexy and hilarious and very summerly (???) like it would be the perfect summer vacation book.

Stay Stay Stay and Of Dio, Billy Joel and Vandalism by the amazing seicchan-art (they literally carry the eddissy fandom on their shoulders!!!): these two gems are two amazing feel-good oneshots that make my heart melt, I love how Sei write Eddie, in their fic he's always an adorable disaster desperately in love and it's just... chef's kiss.

mouth is alive with juices like wine by agentmmayy : probably my favorite eddissy smut, I just love paring s3x with religious imaginary and this fic is dreamy and obscene at the same time.

and it will take a while (to make you smile) by seicchan-art (again, I have already mentioned that I am obsessed with their writing? cos I truly am): I'll describe this one as smut with feelings? like a lot of feelings. This fic makes me wanna cry but in a good way ?? like it's so tender and hot at the same time.

EDISSY FIC REC — PART 2 

Part 1 

Disclaimer: these are almost all E rated. I’m sorry but it’s not really my fault if these two spent all their 5 minutes screentime eye-fucking each other 😔  

the streets of philadelphia by @ivy-eyed : I keep breaking my “I don’t recommend wip” rule but I really can’t help it, I am obsessed with this fic. Chrissy, Max and Steve roommate AU, they don’t know nor they like each other at the beginning and it’s just so beautiful to see them bonding and forming this unlikely found family. And of course there is the romance: Eddie here is a tattooed library page that plays guitar in a grunge band like ??? helloo I’d pay real money to see a character like that in a romcom. There’s also Lumax and Harringrove and I know the last one is not everyone’s cup of tea but really you should give this fic a try because it’s so so good. And there are all these familiar faces and references that keep showing up (Barbs is alive and sing in a band!! they hang out at a bar called “the eleven” !!! Murray’s the owner of a thrift shop called “Conspiracy Connections” !!!!) and it’s absolutely delicious. 

Legendary by broomclosetkink: okay listen, listen, I’m not even into omegaverse ??? (I was traumatised by the spn fandom back then) but this fic THIS FIC !!! If you like omegaverse you’ll absolutely love it, but even if you don’t trust me, give it a try. It’s hot and tender and so well written and the characters are so on point and the abo dynamic fits so well into the jason\chrissy\eddie dynamic. Also this is an “one-shot that feels like a multi chaps” fic because the characters and the setting are so fleshed out it seems you have known them for ages and I love when an author is able to do that !!

i’m following lightning by @slowlimbs: speaking about authors being able to write one-shots that feel like multi chaps because they’re so well written, this is an amazing vignette style fic that I adored. College AU, it shows glimpses of chrissy and eddie’s relationship and how it develops until the grand finale which is... chef’s kiss. Imho it is not easy to write about daddy kink and I often find it a bit cringe, but here it’s so well executed it made me all blushing and giggling and reading it again a thousand times. 

home-sick for familiar trees by @charmtion: saddle up homos! We are going to read E-rated fics and cry and that’s exactly what happened to me with this one. So beautiful, so poetic. It’s about missing opportunities and regrets and second chances and maybes. It’s gorgeous and melancholy and sexy. I do consider this one a milestone in the eddissy fandom and you cannon’t miss it.

in the second drawer on the right by @seicchan-art: it couldn’t be a properly eddissy fic rec without at least one seicchanart’s fics in it (please please never stop to write them). This one is about eddie’s tentacle porn, and it’s fucking cute and hilarious and not actually e-rated (see, I’m not a complete degenerate and I do enjoy smutless fic too!!).

For I Have Sinned by @slumped-in-the-arms-of-fiction: in my defense I have none. I was born and raised catholic in Italy. Like I open my window and the skyline is actually just churches. How I am supposed not to recommend this delicious drabble ??? This made me felt things. My only complain is that I am greedy and I want more.
