Summary
Eddie's smile is sweet, tinged with something bitter. Before Richie can frown, Eddie turns the other way and sighs.
"Richie to the rescue, huh." The way Eddie says it makes Richie wonder if he remembers how he brought him back to consciousness. If he does he's being oddly cavalier about it. Maybe it simply doesn't matter. Now that's a thought that makes his heart twinge. "Well, maybe it's my turn."
"Sure, Eds," Richie cautiously replies, not quite certain what they're talking about anymore. "Maybe it is."
[Or: Thirteen year old Eddie Kaspbrak gets caught in the Deadlights. Twenty-seven years later, forty year old Richie Tozier does too.]

Summary
“Richie. Richie, it’s me,” he whispers, so softly that it’s almost a figment of his imagination. “Hey, it’s Eddie. I’m Eddie. I’m okay, Rich, and you’re okay, so just… please, stop saying shit like that. You’re—you’re scaring me.” He says that part like he’d rather do anything but admit such a thing. But then, as his eyes dart over Richie’s face, his expression shifts, the usual constipation twisting into something close to hysteria that he tries and fails to mask with outrage. “And stop shaking me, shitbag! I had to claw my way out of a fucking disaster zone and I’m really sore—”
Richie doesn’t know how he knows it, that this is the one and only Eddie Kaspbrak, truly here in the flesh, but he does. Because it’s as if the piece of him that'd been unceremoniously ripped away has miraculously been sewn back into place, worn and faded and uneven and maybe the wrong way around, but still very much present.
“Eddie,” Richie chokes, and the man he loves with all his heart is standing right in front of him, alive, and there’s no way he could make himself think otherwise.
[Or: Stan lives, Eddie is resurrected, the Losers visit Georgia, and Richie gets everything he's ever wanted (plus more).]

Summary
Eddie Kaspbrak is not gay. He doesn't care what his mother, his girlfriend, or those assholes at school say. Just because he has Elton John posters doesn't mean he wants to hold hands with boys. And just because he doesn't like to kiss his girlfriend doesn't mean he's gay. He just doesn't like germs.
He can't believe his mother is sending him to True Directions. He doesn't need to learn how to be straight. He just wants to have a fun summer before going off to college.
He definitely isn't prepared for Richie Tozier to come into his life like a whirlwind and blow all of these pre conceived notions out of his mind and turn his whole life upside down.
But I'm a Cheerleader AU ❤️

Summary
For Daryl Dixon the world ended days before it did for almost everyone else, and it was heralded with a prerecorded phone message instead of a bang.
An AU fic where Daryl met Paul several years before the apocalypse.
UPDATE 1/12/2019: I was really put off the ship/fandom when the spoilers about Jesus dying started coming out this past summer, so I decided to end this fic at chapter 25 since there was a nice emotional resolution. Obviously I came back but don't have the inspiration for this particular universe, so I wrote down my plans for a sequel on my tumblr. Check it out: https://tinyurl.com/ripplessequel
