Meant to be

Summary:

Richie and Eddie get cast in a new horror movie together and sparks fly. To the point where Richie begs for an on-screen kissing scene just so he can kiss Eddie.

Let’s follow stan twitter’s journey shipping both their fictional counterparts and R+E themselves.

Notes:

IM BACK WITH A NEW AU ❤️ I’m really excited about this one and I hope you all enjoy this one as much as RR!

Some things to know before reading:
-I de-aged the characters a bit, they are now in their thirties.
-Neibolt Street IS ‘IT’ in disguise. Some elements are different (like the character names ofc). Just picture It2 but more gay™️.

I hope you all enjoy reading this first chapter :)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Holy shit tho? 🥺 [picture showing excerpt from article; “Variety has confirmed with sources that Tozier will be playing the role of Dwight Sorensen , just one of the seven main characters that make up the Loser’s Club of ‘ Neibolt Street ’.

Described to be the resident ‘funnyman’ among the group, Dwight Sorenson is a key character in Denbrough’s novel. As a kid, his loud mouth and crass jokes got him into trouble with his friends most of the time, and as a result, they all coined the special phrase ‘Beep beep, Dwight’ to get him to shut up. Though his constant wise-cracking may seem bothersome, his friends still loved him all the same. Fast-forward to twenty-three years later, Dwight is now a semi-successful comedian in his 30s, making a living out of what he does best: telling jokes to an audience.” ]

All the losers are close with one another, but Lee & Dwight have the closest bond and throughout the book, theres hints of both men having feelings™️ for each other ❤️ sO if they somewhat follow the book (which I’m sure they will, bc Bill IS the screenwriter) then theres a chance we’ll see Richie & Eddie portray that on-screen 🥺🥺
