Summary
“Well come on, tell me. Maybe I can help you.” Monica pulls him towards her, holding his hands gently. “Just cus we had sex doesn’t mean I don’t want to help you with your love life. And it’s not pathetic to be hung up on someone, you know that, right? Besides, you know I give good advice." She ends sternly, eyes narrowing at him.
Or,
After London, Monica and Chandler talk, learn that they're both in love with their roommates, and make a bet about who's better at matchmaking. Shenanigans and Tomfoolery ensue.

Summary
Joey's always known who he is, but knowing who you are and having the courage to share that with someone are two different things.
This will probably make more sense if you read part 1, but it's not necessary.

Summary
Joey steps out the door of his apartment. He smiles, waves slightly, and opens his mouth and–
“I need you to kiss me.”
Rachel cuts him off before he can start. This is what she needs. This’ll work, it has to work, and then everything will go back to normal, and she can face Ross and Monica again, and it’ll all be fine.

Summary
Joey reaches towards the tap, turning off the water, one hand still on Chandler’s knee, balancing.
“Okay, ya ready?”
Chandler sighs, and looks towards the tub. He can feel the warmth of the water from where he’s perched, steamy air inviting and enveloping him, but he can’t muster up the energy to move. To take his shirt off, much less undress completely. To slip into the warm water and hope that it washes away his sweat and his mopery.
But he can’t move.
OR,
Chandler's depressed, and Joey helps him by giving him a bath.

Summary
He finds it under the couch. Eddie’s not entirely sure how it got there, but he pulls it out and shakes it off, folding it and placing it on the counter, next to his binder of Hellfire notes (and song lyrics, and to-do lists, and cool concepts he needs to work on) so that he can’t forget it when he leaves tomorrow. It’s a beautiful coat, very obviously well-made and expensive, durable and sturdy, but also soft. Eddie’s also not entirely sure how Steve manages to keep losing/forgetting/leaving it at Eddie’s, but he does.
or, Selkie Steve keeps hiding his pelt at Eddie's

Summary
Richie Tozier is a chatterbox. The infamous Trashmouth, most relentless of babblers. Always has been.
Loud enough to wake the dead, is what his parents and friends always say, but Richie doesn't know how to tell them that the dead were never sleeping.
If they were, he'd have a hell of a lot more peace, that's for sure.
--
or: Richie's Voices have more of a basis in reality than anybody thinks. He'd say it's a secret he'll take to the grave, but even that wouldn't be the end of it for him.

Summary
It is being speculated by many that this may be a leak from Apple’s iCloud, but others say this is unlikely since the 2014 leak of celebrities’ personal photos was determined to be due to phishing attacks. Since then, Apple has increased the security on their cloud storage system.
Celebrities range from A-list movie stars to American Idol contestants. Other purported celebrity victims include Demi-Leigh May, Clark Rasmussen, Zoe Dean, Chanelle Montoya, and Richie Tozier.
Eddie’s eyes freeze over the last name.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Summary
“Aw, shucks, you’d really do all that for little ol’ me?” Richie fawns in his best-worst Southern Belle voice.
Eddie is offscreen washing his hands in the kitchen sink when he says “Yeah, dumbass, I have disposable income, and the office can cope without me for like two and a half days.”
“You’re serious?” Richie asks quietly, a little overcome.
“Yeah, man,” Eddie says, stepping back into frame. “Only if you want me to, though, I mean—” His eyebrows come in for a worried landing over his eyes, as they often do, and Richie loves them when they do that but he does not want to miss out on the opportunity to have Eddie in his house instead of on his grainy cell phone screen.
“No, I want you to!” Richie says frantically. “I insist, Eduardo. Come to California.”
Eddie’s smile pops up, just briefly, a flash of white pixels as he looks down at his hands. “Okay,” he says.
“Okay.”a fic about the various hungers of richie tozier and how they are fed. but mostly about his birthday

Summary
So there was that reason that work wasn’t boring, too. There was Richie’s soppy campaign of making cow eyes at the back of Eddie’s head as he passed, gently pressing Betty for details about his personal life (“I don’t think he has one. He had this awful fiancé a few years ago, but we’re all glad that’s over”), and chasing the incomparable high of a quiet, muttered “Thanks, Rich” whenever Richie picks something up for him from the copier.
Richie is a wannabe stand-up comic daylighting as the receptionist at Eddie's office. Eddie is a tightly-wound corporate asshole. They are both disasters. Or: five times Richie watched Eddie and one that Eddie watched him back.

Summary
“Were you just going to make me stand out here all day?” Eddie scowls.
Richie blinks, half expecting to wake up from a dream. But when he opens his eyes, Eddie is still standing on his doorstep, his grey eyes stormy and his hand clutching a hardshell rolling suitcase.
Or, a fix-it fic for book!Reddie.
