The Anatomy of a Joke

[sonylefay]

what are your top reddie fics? the stuff u reblog is always great so I’m curious

my sweet friend….this is the question I was freaking BORN to answer.

this is a long and unwieldly list, and contains one or two non-Reddie IT fics for your perusal in case you get bored. I also tried to steer away from the stuff that other people rec all the time. That’s not to say that I don’t love the big fics in this fandom (they’re popular for a reason!) but this is something of a ‘Sara’s Underrated Fics’ list, so strap in.

REDDIE FICS:

Paris, 1983 by @gay-for-roxane (oopsiwroteathing on Ao3).

Paris gang AU! This is my gay Parisian Peaky Blinders DREAM, and it’s written exquisitely. This is one of many fics I adore by Maddie, who is a brilliant and prolific author. Make sure to check out the rest of her works while you’re perusing her Ao3 - her most popular fics to date (I’m pretty sure) are those in her Maggie Tozier/family bends and bleeds series…buuuuut this Paris AU is my personal favorite :) 

Running Up That Hill by @speakslowtellmelove (speakslow on Ao3).

Okay, we all love Bright as Yellow and Wrapped in Blue, and that Surfer Boi AU is also pretty great - - basically, if C puts it out, it’s perfect, original, spectacular, amazing, etc., but the one I really love right now is her boarding school WIP. It’s got a distinctive Dead Poets Society vibe, and I love the way she writes Reddie amidst the other Losers. 

maybe, maybe by lysscor on Ao3 (does this user have tumblr? folks are gonna have to fill me in on who is or isn’t on this platform I don’t know anybody anywhere ever)

AU where Reddie live in the same hall of an apartment building and are insomniacs together. It’s a WIP, technically - I think there’s like 1-2 chapters left? But it’s sweet, well paced, very in character…and it makes me smile!

The Skin & Earth Series by @namingtheruins (inoubliable on Ao3)

First of all, read UP AND DOWN THIS Ao3 LIST, because this author is everything to me. Everything! I recommend Skin and Earth specifically because that, along with Lovesong (which I also rec) are the two primary reasons why I write for this fandom. It’s that good, folks.

Walk Alone or Run Away by @lanekim (tozier on Ao3)

This fic is like POETRY. It somehow manages to capture the exact feeling of slowly falling in love - like dipping yourself into a warm bath, like stepping outside on a beautiful spring day. I’ve reblogged it on tumblr twice. I will probably reblog it again.

Beating Soul by @creamy-brown-eyes (creamy-brown-eyes on Ao3, also)

Laura’s got some bomb-ass fics out there, but my fave has to be this one. Richie’s an up and coming DJ, and Eddie has been hired to take photos of him. Eddie’s already got a boyfriend, though. What follows is some sweet, sweet conflict. Sign me the fuck up.

the years go by like days by Ao3 user georgiestauffenberg (I hear tell that this user does NOT in fact have tumblr. correct me if I’m wrong.)

I think people are finally catching on to the fact that this is one of the best gosh dang fics in the fandom. Can you believe user georgiestauffenberg invented characterization?

Of Worries and Windows by @reddie-to-write (the_original_starfruit on Ao3)

This is my fave Richie climbing through the window fic in the fandom, and that’s saying something, because there are eight billion and two Richie climbing through the window fics in this god damn fandom

with or without you by @bitchin-eds (alliegaga on Ao3)

I know this isn’t the fic people think of right off the bat with Allie, but I fell in love with it right away. I’m a sucker for a ‘reuniting years later’ piece, and this one is near perfect. Allie is a gift to this fandom.

young, dumb & broke by @anxiousbich (anxiousbich on Ao3 as well)

This fic, man! I don’t know how it manages to be 100% sweet and 100% sexy at the same time but it fucking does, man! Richie sells sex, and Eddie’s looking for something, but isn’t sure what. He hires Richie, shenanigans and love ensue. 

knee socks by @spazzatura-xiii (SpazzaturaXIII on Ao3 as well)

A perfect depiction of a college party featuring a fuckboy bisexual Richie that I absolutely adore. Don’t get turned off by the Bevchie. It’s all for show.

 A Muse Me by @foureyestozier (eddiespegnerti on Ao3)

I’m a sucker for artist AUs and college AUs, and this one blends both of them gloriously. Richie and Eddie meet in an art gen-ed, and sparks fly. Cute as FUCK.

Far Too Young To Die by @delicateloser (delicateloser on Ao3 as well)

BITCH I love a Hunger Games AU! I love it! Serve up that angst! And when it’s well written, too?? Holy SHIT!!!!

for blue skies by @sunsetozier (sunsetozier on Ao3 as well)

online boyfriend Reddie AU. I’m old and crotchety, so usually I’m like ‘meh’ for these, but I actively waited for chapters of this to be posted. Richie posting covers of songs on Twitter is so fucking cute. also a healthy dose of our fave, Insecure Richie

To The Guy at the Bus Stop by @arrephoros (Ragno on Ao3)

Eddie is studying abroad. He falls in love with a British Richie who can’t sing for shit. It’s charming and sad and everything in good measure! WIP with one chapter left, last I checked!

Meet Cute AUs by @themightychipmunk (TheMightyChipmunk on Ao3 as well)

You wanna feel great??? Huh????? Read these!!!!!!!!!!!

come one, come all by @didsw (didsw on Ao3 as well)

Didi finish COCA challenge…..no but I LOVE this fic. Groundhog Day premise with some of the sweetest and most heart wrenching Reddie you’ll see anywhere. (and if you’re wondering where you’ve heard of Didi before…does fellas, is it gay to jack a bro off ring any bells…)

Grown Wild by @tinyarmedtrex (tinyarmedtrex on Ao3 as well)

it was a real fuckin’ Sophie’s choice picking just ONE Amelia fic because I love them all but Grown Wild and Teacher Richie own my ass. I never thought of hiking a trail with another person as romantic, but boy was my mind changed literally forever!!!!

finis (a tragedy in three acts) by Ao3 user youllbeadentist (Tumblr unknown)

[Stefon voice]: Book Eddie, older Eddie, Eddie dealing with the AIDS crisis of the 80s in a jarringly realistic way, beautiful prose, captivating action - this fic has it all, folks. you heard it here first. stop sleeping on it.

More popular Reddie fics I’m not writing blurbs for bc everyone knows them but am rereading near constantly: Whenever I’m Alone With You by @stellarbisexual, The Greater Fool Series by @yallreddieforthis, and & That’s For All Time by @tossertozier

STENBROUGH FICS (I don’t ship this much anymore, but went on a research bender a while ago and came back with these two dope fics)

Ain’t eez-eh by Ao3 user simplerplease (Tumblr unknown)

Stan’s friends write his number on the bathroom wall of a club as a joke. Bill, our dear, idiot Bill….fucking just…texts the number I guess oh my god. I LOVE this Stan, and I do not say that lightly, because we all know, Sara, we get it, you love Stan. I. LOVE. THIS. STAN.

i am no bird; and no net ensnares me by @drippingcandie (drippingcandie on Ao3 as well)

Another good Stan. I’m a sucker for good Stan writing, obv. Stan and Bill are in college and dancing around each other - Stan thinks Bill’s a fuckboy, Bill is…probably a fuckboy, but they’re soft for each other of COURSE.

STOZIER FICS (I know, oh my god, Sara, aren’t you a Reddie shipper….but there’s ONE here, okay??? O N E, and I wouldn’t rec it if I didn’t love it)

untouched (need you so much) by @stonedzier (breathplayed on Ao3)

The premise of this is that Stan is absolutely consumed by thoughts about the size of Richie’s fucking monster dong after seeing it one (1) time. If that doesn’t sound like a good time to you then…I dunno man. This fic is fucking sexy.

—-

okay wow that was more of an undertaking than I thought - well worth it though! Reblog this ish. Tell your friends about these fics. They’re good fics, Brent.

[sonylefay]

Actual teenage Reddie got me like: 💞💖💕💗💖💞💗💕💕💗💖💞

[sonylefay]

i see people tagging that post abt the muppets fashion with richie but i raise you eddie “closet case” kaspbrak comes out and immediately starts dressing like a nightmare because he doesn’t have to wear polo shirts and pretend to be straight anymore

image description: 
art of eddie and richie from it wearing tacky outfits - eddie is wearing a yellow shirt with red peppers as a design, as well as checkered pants, and he is using a cane with arm support. richie is wearing a stripped button-down shirt with plum pants, holding two coffees in a tray with an arm supporting eddie while eddie loops his left arm around his neck. richie is laughing and eddie is scowling. overtop is text that reads like a gossip magazine: are we sure these gay men know beverly marsh, fashion designer? if they do - why do they dress like this?

[sonylefay]

Eddie wearing richie's shirts is one of my dream 😔

Well at least i draw him wearing it

[sonylefay]

Just doodles for now :')

Imagine your OTP

[sonylefay]

“Like… I thought that maybe being with you constantly, like every single minute of the day, would… I mean you’re probably gonna go somewhere else, yknow? You’ve never talked about staying in San Francisco like I have and I thought that if we took this trip it’d take some of the… some of the shine off you, or whatever, make it easier.”

“Oh,” says Eddie.

“Yeah, but it hasn’t, you’re still kind of… you’re still shiny.”

“Well,” says Eddie.

“So go easy.” He laughs, kind of bitter, kind of weird. He shuts his eyes. “When you leave, I mean. Make it… make it gentle.”

bunch of illustrations from go west by @oneangryshot which is a fic i have been borderline obsessed with for literally over a year
