When Richie Tozier joins the infamous circus on the outskirts of Derry he is engulfed in a wildfire of emotions: fear, dread, isolation and above all of that... love? Love for the sweet, talented aerialist Eddie Kaspbrak. In a messed up world full of secrets, lies and misery, together can they find the light? Illustrations by myself ( @doubleawrites ) :) Enjoy x

p h o s p h e n e s (n.) the stars and colors you see when you rub your eyes "Richie saw him everywhere, and he simply couldn't rid his mind of the doe-eyed angel he loved so dearly. He saw Eddie in his dreams, in his wandering thoughts, in his music, in the stars and colors that leaked across his eyes when he squeezed them shut tight. Eddie was there, always, whether Richie wanted it or not; and he definitely did." ×Trigger warnings at the beginnings of chapters×

Commission for my best friend, Katie (ily nh)!! Short reddie book that was originally a one-shot. It's the 1930s, and Richie Tozier is a navy boy who works hauling cargo at the shipyard by the bank. Eddie Kaspbrak is the banker's son who can't keep his eyes off of Richie, looking through the window of the bank. When they meet, Eddie refuses to give Richie his name until he "earns it." So Richie vows to earn the window boy's name, no matter what. "Eddie could feel Richie's eyes burning holes in his back, but he didn't turn around, just tensed a bit. He wasn't sure why. He guessed he knew that if he turned and looked, he'd be met with chocolatey eyes and dark, playful curls and milky, clear skin and an award-winning smile with full, soft lips and a nose that was always a little pink and probably a teasing, 'like what you see, Kaspbrak?' and huge, dorky glasses that somehow brought out every feature spectacularly, pitting them against each other in wonderful juxtaposition. And Eddie didn't know if he could look at that without really, truly falling in love."
