Do you have any stozier recommendations, specifically for the book or miniseries?

Hiya! First of all, thank you so much for sending me down this rabbithole LMAO. I ended up spending a good chunk of today searching for these fics, which maybe is not the best thing in the world considering I have a lot of coursework to do at the moment, but what's important is that I had a good time.

Below are only a few of the amazing fics I found! There are plenty more, to be sure, and I had a really rough time narrowing it down to just these ones -- keep an eye out for a Stozier fic compilation list sometime in the future!

(As a side note, I tried my best to look for book/miniseries Stozier fics, but there really weren't many at all TToTT it makes me want to write them sooo bad.....)

mating habits of the laysan albatross by mayerwien

(4.5k words, mature rating)

In the months after Derry, all of them keeping in touch via their group chat and taking turns visiting one another on long weekends, Stan had to contend with a few new things. Not just the nightmares, either, or the therapy he started to help deal with them. It was Richie’s texts at all hours of the day, with the most random conversation starters—what vegetables were officially considered hipster vegetables; a list of novelty condoms he’d bought online ranked from best to worst; how someday he wanted to go on a pilgrimage to the last Blockbuster standing, somewhere in Oregon. The way Richie’s eyes shone mischievously even over Facetime, just before he opened his mouth to make a terrible joke. What it felt like to look at someone you loved quietly once, long ago, and realize that maybe you love them now. Stan had looked at it like he was holding it in his hands, the whole tangled, wrecked, wet mess of it, and thought, well, what am I supposed to do with this?

keep it clean by ShowMeAHero

(1.6k words, explicit rating)

Richie will typically stop and kiss Stan on the cheek or the top of his head when he first gets home, but he’s still dripping wet and he doesn’t want to fuck up Stan’s book. The thought does cross his mind, but Stan usually draws the line at outright destruction of property. Instead, Richie just asks, “How’s your day going, babe?” “Fine,” Stan answers without lifting his head. “How was your— Fuck, Richie, is it raining?” “Nope, took a shower on the walk home,” Richie tells him. Stan rolls his eyes as he pushes away from his desk.

to a buried and a burning flame by harrenhals

(980 words, general audiences rating)

"And since today, apparently, Stanley was telling truths, and doing stupid things, he decided in that split second, stood in that shaft on sunlight on that endless summer afternoon outside Derry’s one and only synagogue, to do the stupidest thing of all." The aftermath of Stan's bar mitzvah, reckless behaviour, and sunlight.

Packs a Punch by killerqueer

(12.3k words, explicit rating)

“A pretty drink, huh?” Stan scoffed, pulling back slightly. He wasn’t going to be taken in that easily. “Mhmm,” The man murmured and took an infuriatingly long pause to take a long sip of his own drink, before lowering the glass to make eye contact with Stan once again. “One that could punch you in the face.” He said with a smirk that was a lot more attractive than it had any right to be. “Sure,” He replied with an unimpressed eye roll before taking a sip of his own drink. It was sweet and tasted like straight juice. “I could do that too, you know, and it’d be a lot cheaper than however much this drink costs.”

I loved reading all of these fics SO much, and I'm sure you will too!!

do you have any nsfw reddie fic recommendations? preferably with top richie?

Hiya!

Here are some good ones:

Margot's Room by shinycopperpenny

(18.1k words)

With Pennywise dead, Richie's eager to get to what really matters, which is Eddie Kaspbrak telling him to take him to bed. Maybe he should have paid more attention to the bite from the Pomeranian, though.

featuring werewolf Richie!

fruit from a forbidden tree by glorious_spoon

(45.6k words)

Eddie knows he should refuse. He should walk away from this guy with wild hair and thick glasses that don’t obscure the way his eye squints when he grins. He should get a cab back to his hotel, text his fiancée back, take an aspirin, and go to sleep. Tomorrow, he’s flying back to New York. This was a mistake, a single deranged misfire of his usually iron self-control, and the last thing he should do is indulge it any further. He knows that. * Or: a week before he's supposed to get married, Eddie hooks up with a stranger in a bar, and it changes the trajectory of his life.

featuring in-between-canon Richie and Eddie!

my head has thoughts, what a ridiculous place to start by onceagainoncemore

(2k words)

It’s not until a couple hours after lunch that Eddie notices the collar.

featuring Trans Richie and puppyplay!

Shall We Get Into It Again? by InkAndOwl

(6.8k words)

“I’m talking about love that makes you feel wild. Like you could run and scream with them. Love that makes you feel like an animal.” She says the last part with a wide flash of her eyes over the frames of her sunglasses. Mike laughs harder and Ben even bites his lip against a smile when Eddie inhales sharply behind him. It’s all very sleepover like, and they’re giggling like school children talking about necking out on the kissing bridge, but Richie’s heart stutters in his chest. “Real love is a monster, Richie.” Bev shakes her finger at him, “One day you’re gonna meet someone that you want to tear apart with your teeth and they’re gonna let you.” - Richie stops fighting against the feelings inside of him he thinks are terrifying

featuring Yearning!

so life won't pass me by by camerasparring

(74.7k words)

“You’ve been through a lot,” Mike says quietly, comforting. “You have to give yourself a break. That’s what the doctor said, didn’t she?” “Yeah,” Eddie involuntarily agrees. “She also said my life would be irreparably different and that I’d been through a huge fucking trauma.” “Don’t think she used—” “And what the fuck am I supposed to do, Mike? Go to some shitty support group for divorced men, or disabled men or- or what? Men who’ve been victimized by a weird fucking space clown? Cause I don’t think those exist.” “No one is suggesting that, I’m actually suggesting—” “I know what you’re suggesting, Mike. And it’s a huge fucking decision.” Mike clears his throat. “It is.” He pauses. “And I gotta say, Eddie, I think the fact that you’re fighting me so hard on it is because you think it might be the right one.” - Or; Eddie buys a farm, comes out, makes a lot of stupid mistakes, and learns what it's like to finally have a life of his own, but definitely not in that order.

featuring farmer Eddie my beloved!

bonus: this is the price you pay for loss of control (series) by onceagainoncemore

(3 works, 15.4k words total)

Richie Tozier is the definition of gross. He’s also got his tongue down Eddie’s throat.

featuring: college Richie and Eddie and light kinks!

Hi !

I wanted to know if you had any other collab event planned between authors and artists ? Like something for Halloween ? Or Christmas ?

I would say *something for Pride* but since June is not that far away, that would be too straining as a timeline for an event :3

Any way, keep up the good work !

Hiya! Thank you for sending this in!

It's funny you ask because we actually are planning on doing an event for Pride!

We would also like to do more events in the future for sure, it's just a matter of finding the time to do so!

Our post about our Pride event should be up by the end of this next week at the latest, so please stay tuned for more information!

[itficlibrary]

Hi guys!

If anyone's interested in creating a list of their favourite fics for the library, please feel free to send us a DM!

There are no requirements for this, other than for the list to contain about 5-10 fics ideally, and for you to write a little blurb (around 50-250 words) about why you like each fic!

Please send us a message if you're interested! :^D

[itficlibrary]

like an angel (too good to be true) by leahrocky (3.2k words)

a quick & joyful little benverly origin story set in 1965, wherein bev owns a bar and bumps into ben after closing one night. featuring bisexual beverly, swimming kisses, and all around warm beachy vibes.

break the rules (spikes grow from your skin) by quirkily (7.8k words)

another bev + eddie friendship focused fic, only this time it’s set right after the events of IT chapter two, seeing the two of them staying together while avoiding their respective shitty spouses. featuring lots of introspection for both beverly and eddie, platonic slow dancing and the bittersweet healing process.

I Know A Place (We Can Run) by MonoclePony (38k words)

Set three years before the events of It Chapter Two, Bev leaves Tom and by a stroke of good luck, runs into Eddie. They decide to go on a roadtrip together, destination unknown.

A super cute story about the Losers ringing in the New Year together, from Bev’s point of view. This is a super sweet fic, and the introspection is second to none. This fic is super cozy, and perfect for people who love fix-it fics with happy endings! 

The Clown Monologues: The Darning Stitch by ratbird0917 (190 words)

I was today years old when I learned that when you type "otp: true" in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship

Hi there! Recently finished a reread of the absolutely stellar fanfic “we always come back around” by dinolaur, and wanted to recommend it because I feel it is criminally under appreciated. The angst is strong but the comfort and love that comes around is so worth it!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/22821139/chapters/54538765

we always come back around by dinolaur

words: 82.5k

Eddie Kaspbrak has a lot on his plate. He lives in one of the biggest cities in the world, a disgusting petri dish of eight million people. His job is highly stressful, and his marriage is a sham he can't make himself leave. He's also having a very gay affair with famous comedian Richie Tozier, who Eddie forgot he grew up with until meeting him again after a show. And this is all before that stupid clown rears its ugly head again, ready to eat them all alive.

I've never actually read this fic before, but I've just finished the first chapter and it sounds really good! Thank you for the recommendation, anon!

[itficlibrary]

Calling all authors! Share your favourite snippets that you've written recently, I'd love to see them!!

[itficlibrary]

Hello everyone!!! As you probably know, our Valentines event was the first ever event the library has held, and we were ecstatic at the amount of participation! So many lovely creators came together to make beautiful works!

Below you can find links to all of the submissions from our lovely participants! Please make sure to show them some love! 

Motion Sickness by tozierlvr (@tozierlvr)

And accompanying art by @striderepiphany here!

It was utterly pathetic to still be in love with your college boyfriend after five years. Unsurprisingly, this was the situation Richie Tozier found himself face to face with on Valentine's Day 2007.

In collaboration with & art by missydogblog (striderepiphany on tumblr)

Prompt: exes to lovers

Killer Clowns from Outer Space! by searcher_of_amroth (@spagedster)

And accompanying art by @bikebian here!

Chance leads librarian Mike Hanlon and author Bill Denbrough to a circus tent in the Barrens. What they find inside is, in fact, carnival-themed, but it's also from space. And it wants to kill them.

Inspired heavily by the movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space Written for itficlibrary's valentines event with the prompt: Bill/Mike | Comedy | Accidental Kiss

I Give My Heart by ithoughtghostsjustfloatedaway (@ithoughtghostsjustfloatedaway)

And accompanying art by heartons!

With additional accompanying art by coloringthebanner!

That’s right, folks. Edith Francis Kaspbrak was now Edith Francis Tozier-Kaspbrak. And that was something she was sure she wouldn’t get over until the day she died. (And probably after that.)

A FemReddie Honeymoon Drabble.

Open, blink, shatter by moichi and nonbinary (@clownbrainrot and @oshaskell)

"Richie," Eddie pants. "How many more times?"

Three doors stand in front of them. The tunnel's shaking.

What’s your choice?

—

Or, in the depths of Derry during their confrontation against It, Richie and Eddie arrive at three doors. Again, and again, and again.

maybe i’ll never treat you right by himsical_hoe and thewayilovetheocean (@himsey and @derrypubliclibrary)

"Ever since she was young, Beverly has had a… strained relationship with soulmates. The whole point of them. ...Of course, she has her mark too. An envelope, sealed with a heart, right on her collarbone. She knows that, logically, according to anyone ever, there’s going to be someone that shares that. She knows that that “Someone” is going to be the “Someone” that she’s supposed to fall in love with."

---

"Ben has always loved the idea of soulmates. As far back as he can remember, he’d been fascinated at the thought of it – that someone somewhere out there was destined to love him, so fiercely and unconditionally that they’d see him one day and just know. Know that he was the One. ... Then he meets a girl named Beverly, and thinks, maybe."

or- our fic for the itficlibrary valentines event!!! our prompt was benverly & soulmates & highschool au !!

like you a latte by trashmouthuris and tree_chime (@billcarden and @tree-chime)

it's almost valentine's day, and richie is dead set on getting the cute regular at the coffee shop to be his valentine.

For the It Fic Library's Valentines Collab 2025.

Shock me with your electric feel by soultragedy (@soultragedy)

And accompanying art by @maridle!  

Eddie Kaspbrak has always had two great loves: robotics and Richie Tozier. With a 3.7 GPA, Eddie is determined to get into MIT’s competitive robotics program, but when his guidance counselor suggests it might not be enough, his world starts to crumble.

Blue Cardinals by Asexual_Asshat and tallula03 (@asexualasshat and @alicetallula)

And accompanying art by @alicetallula here!

As the new girl at school, Patty knew her prom probably wouldn't be anything special. She had no idea it would this completely terrible.

*****

“Are you okay?” A man’s voice came from the gym door, around ten feet from her. Her breath hitched and she jumped. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.”

Created for the It Fic Library Valentines 2025 Event

allergy season by fredastaire (@it2017)

And accompanying art by clownmovieyaoi here!

A fifteen-year-old Richie Tozier receives his first valentine; a bouquet of flowers, signed his secret admirer. He's ecstatic, overjoyed, happier than a three-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.

There's just one issue.

He's really, really allergic to pollen.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated!!!

[itficlibrary]

Not sure if the last anon sent, my internet went weird, but if it didn’t here it is again:

i’m new to fanfic and wld love if anyone gave feedback on my first ever (reddie) fic! wld also love if anyone said they’d be interested in hearing more of the wip!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/63827650

Go check this fic out guys!!! It’s currently 789 words, seeing Richie on his way to hang out with Eddie but getting distracted by an especially strange Bowers chase.

(For my feedback personally, you have some awesome dialogue! Very much enjoying the banter between the losers here and im genuinely very intrigued to see what the hell Bowers’ game is. Would love to see Richie encountering weirder and whackier obstacles before he ever gets to Eddie. Put that guy through the wringer!!!)
