Story Title: something better
Fandom: IT (movies - Muschietti)
Link: story @ AO3, tumblr post
Summary: Eddie survives, and he and Richie decide to road-trip across America.
Warnings: references to canon violence but nothing on-screen in the fic
Characters: Eddie Kaspbrak, Richie Tozier
Pairings: Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier
When I Started: September 2019, after stolemyslumber went to see this movie and said something to the effect of "Bill Hader is really good AND this movie is really gay," and I was already on the fence about seeing it because scary clown movie but omg James Ransone in an actual Hollywood movie with real movie stars like a real boy? (This is what ten years of Generation Kill fandom does to a person.) So I went, and afterward we were talking about fix-it possibilities that included "Eddie survives and they go on a road trip of Feelings", which morphed into talking about songs about driving, and what's why the title is from The Wallflowers' One Headlight.
How I Lost My Shit: I worked on this on and off for two or three months and got to about 12k, and then I lost the notebook all my notes were in (amid an extended car breakdown that resulted in my dream car getting declared a lemon; I thought for a few weeks I'd left the notebook in the broken car, but I'm fairly sure I left it behind my seat at a hockey game), and was so thrown off by it that I didn't look at this fic for most of the first half of 2020.
How I Finished My Shit: I don't remember where I saw the info for this WIP BB, but I immediately thought, "Maybe I can finish my Richie/Eddie if I have a deadline!", and signed up.
