Will always gets this feeling that he's not familiar with. [Under construction. I'm going to fix any mistakes that I made and maybe perhaps delete scenes that I don't like. My writing has changed so I'll like to reread this book and fix some things. People have pointed things out so now I'm FINALLY going in and fixing them.]Complete

☆ My Star ☆ ~Reddie~ (completed)
☆ "You light up my world like stars do the night sky," ☆ Richie Tozier's world was a dark one. Full of anxieties and fears that left him broken. His only hope was his best friend, Eddie Kaspbrak. Who wasn't having an easy time at home himself. Eddie was his silver lining and a force seemed to pull Richie towards him. He was like a drug, the depressed boy really needed him, craved him even. He was addicted to his touch and the comfort he provided. He lit up Richie's life when times were at their darkest. He was a real star. Okay. I'm scared so, All songs belong to the original owners. Thank you. Also, all characters belong to Stephen King. Not me.Complete

Crazy Together
An alternate version of what happens between Mike and Will in season 3 ep 3 it will slightly follow the storyline of some episodes after that then onto season 4. It's crossposted on ao3 with the same title my username is pj0295 so you can find it. I drafted earlier chapters to focus solely on season 4 with brief mentions of what happened during the season 3 story arc so check ao3 to read everything that happened in this story during season 3 and season 4 It will eventually contain mentions of depression and slight suicidal thoughts (it's not really directly addressed) Probably a long slow burn, so I can have something to do during this quarantine Start: 12/31/19
