Title: Exit, Pursued by a Twunk

Author: cortexikid

Canon: It 2019

Pairing: Richie Tozier/Eddie Kaspbrak

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 8,161

Summary: “Have you ever been in love?” Richie's gaze shoots up from Eddie to the interviewer, every drop of blood draining from his face. It's fleeting, but his eyes briefly bolt back down to his irritated friend.  “Nope.”  The word is punched from him in a winded breath, as if he's wounded.  And in that moment, the journalist understands what the rest of the Losers know already. Richie is in love with Eddie.

Recommendation: I honestly started reading this without reading the summary having only seen the title and figuring that this would be my kind of story. I was happily not wrong. I love the outsider's perspective, but then the author graciously offered us two more stories that cover both Eddie's and Richie's thoughts throughout. This was so lovely, and can I say Eddie, Stan, aaannnddd Adrian being resurrected for the win.
