Dear IT Rare Pairs Secret Santa
Dear IT Rare Pair Secret Santa 2020 Writer,
Thank you so much for writing for me! I'll try to keep this letter at a manageable length but I usually tend to ramble a lot. I have a lot of ships, and I’ve prompted a lot of these in other places before. I like a wide variety of things, and I’m pretty easy to please, with only a few dealbreakers, so if none of my prompts spark your interest, feel free to go with another idea or something else, as long as my DNWs aren't hit.
General Likes

Happy endings, bittersweet endings, downer endings. Melancholy vibes. Canon-divergence AUs. Five times fic. Playing with format. Interactive fiction and choose your own adventure. Epistolary fic.

+ Hurt/comfort, though I prefer an emphasize on the comfort over the hurt. I love one person stitching another person up, or taking care of a sick friend or partner, or something more weird, like helping your decomposing boyfriend, or feeding a sickly or hungry vampire your own blood or someone else's.

I love body horror, monsters transformations, coming back from the dead wrong, eldritch abominations, incomprehensible cosmic horror, cannibalism, restless spirits, vanishing hitchhikers, sentient locations (preferably if they are evil locations), serial killer AUs. Humans who are monsters deep down and monsters trying to be humans. Moral ambiguity or moral corruption. Descents into the underworld, literal or otherwise, and/or moral descents. Claustrophobia, literal or emotional. Unreliable narrators.
+ Monster AUs are fun! I love turning characters into vampires, werewolves, witches, sirens, cat people, revenants (as in, undead people who may or may not need to eat people, but not mindless zombies), even in non fantasy settings. Turn all my faves into monsters! I also love horror movie AUs for everything (for example, Jennifer’s Body AU, Evil Summer Camp AU, Ginger Snaps AU, etc)
+ Seasonal/Winter Likes: People having their own, idiocrynstastic holiday traditions, especially non religious or non-Christmas traditions. Non-Christmas holidays/observations.

Making new Christmas/Holiday memories with a new partner. Characters who hate the holidays because of trauma enjoying themselves again. Winter folklore/mythology. Snowfall, white christmases, blizzards, snowed in, snowed in a cabin in the woods, power outages, snow days, winter break. Warm weather holidays with palm trees or desert. Coming in from the cold. Car breaking down by the side of the road in winter. Sex by the fireplace. Telling horror stories over a fireplace. Any focus on the desolation and bleakness of winter. Getting darker a lot earlier. Seasonal foods (hot cocoa, gingerbread, spiked eggnog, mulled wine, peppermint anything). Ugly christmas sweater parties. Huddling for warmth because of the weather. Meeting the family for the first time over the holidays.

DNWS:
PART ONE - LOSER SHIPS:
Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon/Ben Hanscom/Eddie Kaspbrak/Beverly Marsh/Richie Tozier/Stanley UrisStanley Uris/Richie Tozier
I requested the OT7 because I love them, but I’m also okay with Bill/Mike/Ben/Richie/Bev and Bill/Mike/Richie/Bev/Eddie/Ben; basically I’m okay if Stan or Eddie stay dead, if you want to write fic set after their deaths (but I’d also be happy if they’re alive, even if it’s handwaved or never explained why!). Basically, I am okay with ignoring my character death DNW if you want to acknowledge Eddie or Stan’s canon deaths. Additionally, feel free to take any one of these prompts and use it for another ship I prompted as well too (i.e., Bill/Mike werewolf AU, or Stanley/Mike New Mutants AU, etc.)! Mixing and matching is fine.
+ I spent the whole movie expecting Mike to suggest an orgy to defeat Pennywise or perform the ritual. I still want that, tbh, where the ritual of CHUD requires group sex, or they defeat Pennywise by harnessing the power of love...via group sex. Or they have an orgy to bond them all closer together so they don't forget each other. Or instead of the sewers/house collapsing in them, they're trapped there and having sex together unlocks the way out. I would also enjoy a fuck or die, or sex pollen esque scenario--maybe strange things just happen in Derry regardless--but honestly, I just want the Losers to tenderly, desperately, reaffirm their bond and how much they love each other with sex.
+ I would love something that plays with the concept of the infamous gangbang from the book in this version, but maybe when they're older and not with Bev in the middle, necessarily. Maybe they all take turns being the focal point of a gangbang. I would be fine with something set during Chapter 2, but also when they’re teenagers, just older than they are in Chapter 1.
+ The losers perform some terrible, eldritch ritual to bring Eddie and/or Stan back to life. I’d love it if Eddie or Stan came back “wrong” in some way but the Losers still love them, and they still love the losers, it’s just all twisted up now.
+ All the losers keeping in touch with one another set after the second movie, making sure they constantly meet up again, visiting each other yearly at various different points, sending gifts, skype chats, group chats. Maybe they even move in together or establish some kind of home base for all of them to just hang out. I really love codependent losers just living together and slipping in and out of each other’s beds. Just doing their best not to forget each other again.
+ Bill writes in his friends in his horror books constantly, and has no idea he’s doing it. I would kind love it if he shipped himself accidentally with all of his friends with his self insert in his books, but didn’t realize it until he sees them at the Orient and has a Moment of Realizing Things. Maybe Bill had sex with all of his friends during the 27 years in a series of one night stands, and now it’s really awkward when he remembers that when he sees them again.
+ I watched the New Mutants trailer and I would kill for an OT7 Losers AU with that same scenario. Basically, give them all super hero mutant powers and make them “bad kids” who get locked up in a “hospital facility” like in the trailer, then let them all bond and escape. Or murder their captors. I’m not picky!
+ Here me out...modern AU. But not as an excuse for a college AU or no Pennywise stuff. I mean the Losers Club as 13 year old Gen Z kids. How does the summer where Pennywise tries to eat them differ in the modern day? Are there cell phone recordings of Pennywise, or does he not show up on camera? Are there creepy youtube videos? Do Stan or Mike or Ben try to document everything online and people accuse them of making up an ARG? Does Pennywise have a harder time eating kids because no one trusts a clown anymore and most kids are terrified of climate change now? Is Richie an annoying twitch streamer?
+ Vampire AU. I am an absolute sucker for a vampire AU, I would probs read it for every fandom. Maybe Pennywise is an evil vampire clown serial killer, eating children, and preying on the Losers Club. Maybe one of the losers gets turned into a vampire and they all band together to support them and protect them. Or all the Losers end up becoming vampires, turning each other until none of them are human anymore. I see this set as teenagers but I would also love it if one of them became a vampire in the 27 years and went around trying to recruit their friends.
+ Werewolf pack AU, because I love the thought of the Losers Club actually being a pack of werewolves and running around in the woods.
+ Serial killer AU where the Losers are actually a group of serial killing teenagers. They could target other children, or they could be tormenting that sad lonely clown that lives down the road. I would just love to see them as the bad guys, as the darkest versions of themselves, while still being devoted and loving to each other. Alternatively, the losers all return to Derry 27 years later and have to hide from each other that they’ve become serial killers in the time in between...until they realize they all share the same dark hobby.
+ I usually handwave Bev still being in Derry after Chapter 1 for fic purposes--like maybe her aunt moved to Derry instead--but I would like an AU where she’s still being abused by her dad, until she and the losers conspire together to murder him.
+ Post Chapter Two, the losers conspire to kill Tom together.
+ Sense8 AU, or in this case, Sense7. Feel free to play around with the whole Sense8 mythology. You can have them all born on the same day, or their soul connection being due to other reasons (the blood oath maybe).
+ I would also love a soulbond AU, especially if the blood oath soul bonded them all together. Them being bound together that way and unable to ever fully escape each other’s thoughts or feelings. Would they still forget each other or would that inoculate them against losing memories of each other?
Bill Denbrough/Ben Hanscom/Beverly Marsh
+ I love this love triangle that isn’t really a love triangle because Bill and Ben never fight over Beverly and remain friends and neither of them expect any kind of romance from her, and I think that’s beautiful. I would love to see it blossom into a poly trio relationship between them.
+ Post canon, Ben and Beverly have gotten together but I would love to see Bill show up at the doorstep, freshly divorced and fully intending to just visit his friends because they’re a little codependent post canon, but it turns into something more. I love first times and getting together fics, especially for unconventional relationships and would love to see them navigate their new lives together.
(for the record, I am always operating under the assumption that Bill is getting divorced post canon unless otherwise stated).
+ Maybe instead of Bill/Bev sleeping together (like it went down in the book), they end up having a threesome instead. There’s probably a little glimmer of unaccounted time where it could happen (post orient, pre morning?) but who cares, stretch out the timeline, go really AU, it’s fine with me.
I am okay with infidelity here, though mainly only because I imagine Audra is already pretty pissed at Bill for walking out on the movie and I can’t imagine things are really good between them.
+ High school romance; I would love it if Ben and Bill also had feelings for each other in addition to Beverly but none of them are aware of them, or think they only have romantic feelings for Bev. I would love to see Ben be cute with them both and Bill having a crush on both of his friends and maybe ineptly trying to date them both. (Assume Bev doesn’t move away? Maybe her aunt moves to Derry instead so she can still go to high school with them).
+ Beverly takes both of them to the prom. Beverly has two hands!
Bill Denbrough/Eddie Kaspbrak
+ Post chapter 2 divorcee hook-ups. I’d love for them to bond and commiserate over their divorces after the movie. Maybe Eddie even moves in with him in his LA home after he leaves Myra and they give being roommates a try. Maybe they get drunk one night and hit on each other and it escalates.
+ Anything set in the 27 years together. Eddie meets Bill at a book signing and they hit it off. Eddie, reading all of Bill’s books, getting a little fixated on him, and finding that his books speak to him on some level. Bill/Eddie, fucking in a bathroom after a book signing.
+ This is a long shot prompt, but I love the thought of them engaging in incest roleplay as teenagers—maybe it starts innocently, with Bill calling Eddie his brother in the wake of Georgie’s death, then escalates into something more and a little creepier. For Bill, I’d love him to replace Georgie with Eddie in his head, even if Eddie isn’t actually younger than him. For Eddie, I would like him to have weird boundary issues and psychosexual issues—he doesn’t have any male family figures in his life, so when Bill wants to call him brother, he gets very into it and clings to it, and gets very turned on when Bill keeps calling him that. Incest roleplay, with both of them getting something out of it.
+ Anything as teenagers? I love all the young love, friends to lovers tropes and I’d love to see them gradually realize they’re interested in each other in that way.
+ Hurt/comfort, for either of them. Bill providing the comfort after Sonia does something to Eddie, or Eddie providing Bill company in the wake of his parents’ neglect.
+ Something messy, with them jealous of each other. Bill wishes his parents paid attention to him like Sonia does with Eddie, and Eddie wishes his mom would leave him alone like Bill’s parents. Both of them fighting and struggling over this before eventually coming to an understanding.
+ Bill/Eddie snuggles at a sleep over. Snuggles turning into something more. Awkward morning wood and jerking off together.
+ I love the idea of baby Eddie befriending Bill first as a kid, because as a sickly child, he related to Bill’s intense stutter. I’d love to see more of that, with both of them being seen as weak, sickly children and clinging to each other because of that, and how that develops as they grow up—-Eddie no longer wanting to be seen as weak, and Bill trying to teach himself not to stutter at all.
Bill Denbrough/Richie Tozier
+ DRUNK KISSES AND CONFESSIONS AND MAYBE HOOK UPS. I would especially love teenage drunk kisses, especially if Richie is sad (maybe Eddie has left town already) and Bill is trying hard to cheer him up. I’d love it if what started as h/c turns into something more.
+ I also want a fwb relationship that turns into more. Maybe they just start fooling around because neither of them know what sex is like and want to figure it out? And that escalates.
+ That said, I am also into post chapter two friends with benefits that ends up being more emotionally involved than either of them wanted to be. Especially if Bill turns out to be more experienced than Richie in the bedroom.
+ Anything post chapter 2. Hurt/comfort about Eddie and Stan’s deaths. Bill getting a divorce and staying with Richie for a while (they both live in LA!). Both of them trying to see each other more and that leading to more intimate situations.
+ THEY START A BAND. I want this as canon compliant as possible, so yes, 40 year olds in a mid life crisis START A BAND (and then make out).
+ Anything as teenagers. I am a sucker for teenage romance. I am really especially into Richie as being full of internalized homophobia, and Bill, for some reason, not—maybe he doesn’t know enough to call his feelings gay or queer, or maybe he just doesn’t feel the same crushing self loathing as Richie does—but I love the thought of Richie panicking and freaking out about being gay and Bill there to reassure him and help him, maybe even kissing him to make him feel better. Anything with their friendship turning into something more intense, maybe not even necessarily a romance but deeper than something platonic.
+ Anything set in the 27 years. Running into each other in LA and feeling oddly drawn to each other.
Bill Denbrough/Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier
+ Any kind of post chapter 2 situation. I would love it if they all moved in and fell into a threesome/throuple relationship together. I’d love to see them try to figure out what it’s like to be friends again as adults, and have that gradually turn into a romance on all ends.
+ Post divorced Bill shows up on Richie and Eddie’s doorstep, who are already together, and they gradually subsume Bill into their relationship. I love middle age, midlife crisis Bill, leaning on Reddie.
+ Bill and Eddie bonding over being middle aged divorcees. Maybe Bill and Eddie hook up and bring Richie into the relationship!
+ Anything with them as teenagers! I love how high energy and intensely passionate and ridiculous they could be as teens, so I would love to see more of Richie and Bill fighting arguing, or Bill and Eddie bonding and snuggling while Richie envies their closeness, or Richie and Eddie “fighting” while Bill watches, or the three of them at sleepovers growing up.
+ Bill and Richie both have a crush on Eddie and end up fighting over him, like both of them trying to sit with Eddie at movies or while they hang out, or Richie feeling like he can never compete with Bill.
+ OR Richie thinking Bill has a crush on Eddie and acting meaner and colder to Bill over it—maybe Reddie is already together—but he really has a crush on Richie. Richie is so surprised by this. Eddie decides to do something about it—or however you wanna get them together.
+ Eddie wants Richie to make a move but he won’t, so Eddie starts flirting and snuggling extra close to Bill, either just as a joke, or actively trying to flirt with him. He doesn’t expect Bill to flirt back and get attached.
Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon/Audra Phillips
+ I generally assume Bill gets divorced after his trip to Derry but what if he tries to make it work afterwards, thinking maybe the closure he got in Derry would save his failing marriage? I would love it if Mike showing up leads to a threesome situation that eases the tensions between Bill and Audra and they don’t get divorced! Though now there’s an added complication of having a third person in their relationship when they’re such public figures.
+ That said, I tend to imagine Bill/Audra as very strained, given their interactions in the movie, so if their relationship falls apart anyway, I am totally fine with that. I love messy, falling apart relationships where no one is really a bad guy but things just don’t or can’t work out. I love the thought of Bill trying to have his cake and eating it too by adding Mike to his marriage and it just blows up instead and makes things worse.
+ Bill sugar-daddying Mike and Audra wondering what is going on, who is this nobody from Maine that he’s giving loads of money and presents to?
+ I really just want to see Mike and Audra getting along famously. It would be really funny if Audra points out how much Mike looks like a certain old spice man. Mike points out she looks like Bev. Mike and Audra developing their own connection outside of Bill and Bill feeling left out.
+ These prompts are short, not because I don’t love them, but because just anything for these two threesomes would be amazing? Like omg thank you so much for even giving my rare polyships a shot.
Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier/Stanley Uris
+ I love the entire dynamic of Eddie and Richie constantly arguing while Stan looks so done with both of them in the background. I'd love more of his pov in general and him as the straight man in their three person group, forced to watch Eddie and Richie court each other by being the most annoying teenage boys ever.
+ I would love to see how a threesome develops, whether they get drunk and just started experimenting, or something a lot more deliberate. I think they all have very intense feelings about each other, and would love the three of them building towards a trio/threesome/poly relationship together. I’d love starting from a Reddie standpoint and adding Stan, but also none of them being together and Stan getting emotionally, sexually and romantically entangled with them both.
+ Or something when they're adults--maybe the three of them end up in the same place together for reasons, before any of them have met their wives. They end up spending New Years together in New York, and run into each other and bond and don’t know why three strangers like them feel so connected.
+ Or they go back to Derry at the same time for a holiday, or start to remember each other.
+ I would adore some kind of established Richie/Eddie, who invite Stan into their relationship.
+ Any high school era shenanigans. Richie and Eddie dragging Stan on adventures, or through their own terrible decisions. I would like Stan to feel annoyed because he feels like a third wheel and Richie and Eddie trying to make him feel otherwise and show him they love him. The three of them getting high together.
+ I love the thought of the three of them as college roommates--maybe in an AU where they do remember Derry for reasons (Pennywise is for real dead? Soulbond? Deadlights? Whichever!), and they end all codependent on each other.
+ I would also love to read about Stan struggling with the trauma from IT/Pennywise and having suicidal tendencies and feelings as a teenager as well, with Richie and Eddie taking care of him or being supportive or there for him. I’d love for a hurt/comfort scenario to lead to kissing.
+ Stan/Eddie/Richie ghost threesomes. In general, I would love Richie haunted by Stan and Eddie--they could haunt the other losers too, but maybe they always drift back to Richie--and Richie feeling horrified but not wanting them to go. I am okay with however you wanna depict the ghosts, as shadows of their former selves, in a come back wrong sort of way, or mostly the same but not able to move on.
+ Stan and Eddie team up to dom the fuck out of Richie.
Gretta Keene/Stanley Uris
+ High school era Stanley and Gretta developing a secret sexual relationship, especially if Gretta sexually bullies him throughout their encounters and Stan is annoyed but attracted to her nonetheless. Stan edging her to get back at her bullying him. Stan hiding it from the losers, not because he’s ashamed, but because he doesn’t know how to explain their attraction to each other. Stan and Gretta egging each other on, sexually. Secret encounters in the pharmacy or alleyways or in a car (his car, her car, whichever).
+ Gretta actually liking Stan a lot and thinking he’s a great guy and not sure how to reconcile that with her idea of him being a loser.
+ I like the thought of them both as closed off, stand-offish people who end up melting around each other.
+ Stanley stays in Derry. Stanley and Gretta end up getting married. It works out surprisingly well.
Mike Hanlon/Beverly Marsh
+ FOREVER STRUCK by how much he admired her and how much it meant to him for her to throw that rock at Bowers. IT WAS HIS TOTEM. That’s an intense depth of emotion there and I would honestly love to see that explored, his intense feelings about Beverly and towards Beverly, the journey to finding his totem.
+ Anything with them as teenagers. Mike is so quiet as a kid and I’d love to see them grow closer together and what their dynamic is like as children and teenagers. Maybe Mike has a crush on Beverly too, but it’s bad enough that Ben and Bill like her, he’s sure he has no chance.
+ Building off that, friends with benefits relationship as teenagers, that turns into something more.
+ AU where Beverly doesn’t move away and stays in Derry but either legit killed her dad by smashing his head with the toilet cover, or he survived, but now she’s avoiding home. I would love for Beverly to move in with Mike and stay at the farm. I don’t care how feasible or plausible that is, I want it.
+ Beverly keeps having visions of Mike, but she doesn’t know who he is; I would love for instead of Mike tracking her down, she tracks him down.
+ Vampire Bev/Mike who descends from a long line of vampire hunters. Or werewolf Bev with werewolf Mike or human Mike...but I do love the thought of them in a werewolf pack among the losers and Mike drawn to Bev in particular.
+ Mike, somehow, figures out that Tom is abusing Bev and ends up making contact with her before it’s time to call the Losers back to Derry, trying to get in between them.
+ Post canon fic is always welcomed—I want so much fic set after the movie with all of them trying to move on and dealing with both the trauma of fighting Pennywise, losing Eddie and Stan and dealing with getting their memories back. I’d love to see a weird, slightly uncomfortable codependence between them.
Mike Hanlon/ Eddie Kaspbrak
+ I am pretty firmly convinced that Eddie must have already known who Mike was when they first encountered him being menaced by the Bowers gang. I would love the backstory to that friendship. Have they crossed paths in Derry before? Have they spent any time playing together? Does Eddie feel bad for Mike because he’s home schooled? Would they meet up while Mike is delivering meat and Eddie on his way to the pharmacy to pick up his meds, and they hit it off? Give me them having this secret relationship no one else really knows about or has picked up on yet.
+ Mike and Eddie mutually crushing on each other would be really, really cute. All the cute handholding and Mike getting older and filling out as he does so and Eddie developing a huge crush on him because of it. Mike and Eddie spending a lot of extra time together.
+ I love how delighted and happy Mike was to see his friends again and the fond looks he kept shooting everyone, including Eddie, during the Orient scene. I basically want more of that, maybe something with Mike and Eddie having a moment together, or several moments, maybe more of the phone call, maybe Mike and Eddie saving each other’s lives. I’d love a post chapter 2 recovery fic with a focus on Mike/Eddie, especially if Mike stays with Eddie at the hospital in Derry while he heals.
+ Post IT Chapter 2, Eddie comes back wrong somehow, and Mike is there to welcome him back. Maybe Mike feels guilty about Eddie’s death or Mike performed a creepy fucked up ritual to bring Eddie back, or Eddie comes back for other reasons (Derry magic? The turtle?) and Mike is trying to figure out how or why and help Eddie adjust but doesn’t want to let Eddie go again. In general, I would love some creepy unhealthy codependency in this scenario (and feel free to include the other Losers as well).
+ Something set during the 27 years. I love the thought of them having a one night stand that they both regret, Eddie because he cheated on his wife, and Mike because he knows who Eddie is, but Eddie doesn’t know him as his childhood friend. I love that kind of identity mindfuckery and I would love Eddie’s reaction once he remembers Mike in Derry.
+ Cryptid hunters! True crime buddies!
+ Just put them on a roadtrip together. Post chapter 2 roadtrip or post high school roadtrip together.
+ AU where both Mike and Eddie man the Derry lighthouse together (I mean this metaphorically but feel free to do a lighthouse keeper AU for them if you want).
Mike Hanlon/Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier
+ The immediate aftermath of saving Mike from Bowers as teens; Mike seemed pretty beaten up and I would love to see Eddie fuss over him afterwards with his fanny pack supplies, and Richie helping out but also trying not to be jealous over Eddie having this secret friendship with Mike he didn’t know about. Richie, watching Eddie in a new context with Mike, and feeling left out.
+ Mike getting used to being in the losers’ club, and gradually becoming more and more comfortable with his new friends, Richie and Eddie included. I’d love to see them all being really physically affectionate and Mike spending time with them both together.
+ Richie upset that Eddie/Mike are into each other because Mike is great, how can Richie compete—I would love for that to lead to an OT3 situation, with Richie having a crush on Mike as well, and not sure what to do with his two crushes getting together or having feelings for one another. I would love for Eddie and Richie to be dramatic assholes about it and Mike’s presence mellowing them out, or for Mike to be caught off guard by how intense Eddie and Richie can be when combined together. But in general, I am down for a poly threesome situation as teenagers, or something totally messy where everyone has feelings for each other and they don’t know what to do with that.
+ Sleepovers. Maybe when they’re older teenagers and long past the age of sleeping over at each other’s house. I can imagine they would gather at Richie’s house because Sonia is off limits for reasons and I can see Leroy being strict about friends staying over, but maybe he gives him some leeway?
+ Anything when they’re adults! All the Eddie lives AUs and instead of Richie/Eddie getting together, something more complicated happens with Mike. They all get together as a throuple? Eddie has to recovery in a Derry hospital for a while so Richie bedside vigils and Mike sticks around to make sure his friends are all okay? All three of them roadtrip together? Mike not having anywhere to go after he leaves Derry so he goes to crash with Richie and ends up being thrown in the middle of Eddie’s divorce battle? Established Richie/Eddie decide to seduce Mike? Something happening between the three of them at the Inn the night before they look for their totems? Eddie and/or Richie do the drugged vision quest thing with Mike as well?
+ Ghost sex. Ghost Eddie haunting them both and freaking them out, but that leading to ghost sex of some kind. Or anything involving a comes back wrong scenario for Eddie.
Mike Hanlon/Patricia Blum Uris
+ Mike, mourning Stan, visits his wife, and ends up getting to know her. Mike getting to know this new, 40 year old Stan by getting to know his wife. Mike ends up staying longer than he planned to help Patty out around the house. Maybe Mike feeling guilty and like he drove Stan to suicide and wanting to make up for it. Patty trying to get to know this stranger that claims he is Stan’s childhood friend. Mike and Patty slowly falling in love.
+ Grief sex while mourning Stan together. The two of them fucking each other to fuck Stan one last time, especially if Stan/Mike was a thing in the past.
+ The two of them seeing ghost Stan around would be great.
+ I don’t have a lot of prompts here; mainly I want both of them grieving Stan, and using each other to heal. Feel free to end this on a hopeful note, or make it as depressing as you want, with no one actually healing.
Mike Hanlon/Stanley Uris
+ I’d love all the post chapter 1 fic about them. I really love the deleted scene where Mike comforts Stan at the Neibolt house and I just want so much more about that growing dynamic. Was that the first time he comforted Stan, or was their relationship growing before that scene? Did they meet before Mike joined the group? What happens after they defeat Pennywise? Does Mike share with Stan his fear that Pennywise isn’t dead? I’d love to see him comfort Stan after nearly getting his face eaten off, Stan comfort Mike after having to fight Bowers, and both of them growing closer as a result.
+ Stan/Mike teenage romance, yes please. The other losers can know or it can be a secret they’re hiding. Would love to see bird watching dates, carnival dates, secret hand holding, making out in the quarry, making out in the barn, sleep overs, etc.
+ Stan takes up photography as a hobby and starts documenting Derry. This pleases Mike’s research heart. Then Stan starts taking pictures of the losers as well, and he ends up with more photos of Mike than he thought. Cute crushes revealed via photography.
+ What if Mike doesn’t call Stan directly to summon him back to Derry? What if he went to pick him up instead? What if Stan opens the door to find a very handsome and familiar man standing there who immediately hugs him.
+ I prompt ghost haunting my ship of choice all the time and I am going to prompt it here. I would also love for ghost Stan to hang around Mike a lot, after death. Maybe Mike thinks he’s seeing things and hallucinating, since he doesn’t trust his eyes or that his mind won’t play tricks on him, and it takes a while to realize that’s actually Stan. Or anything exploring the guilt Mike must feel re: Stan’s suicide (which I don’t blame him for but I am sure he feels guilty).
+ Maybe Stan is the last one to leave Derry; maybe he was reluctant to go and encouraged Mike to go to Florida and suggested staying in Derry instead but Mike encouraged and pushed Stan to go to college out of state. Break my heart, okay.
+ That said, give me the AU where they both stay in Derry together. I’d really love to see them grow to be a couple in Derry and how they navigate that town’s homophobia, Stan’s parents, and the general influence of Derry.
+ Any monster AU. Stan gets wings and Mike helps him hide them? Mike ends up becoming a monster hunter and Stan helps out? Stan turns into a reluctant vampire or werewolf and Mike offers to help and do research to change him back?
Stanley Uris/Richie Tozier
+ I really love what good friends they seem to be, despite (or because of) their disparate personalities. I’d love to see more about how they balance each other out. I love how chaotic Richie is next to Stan’s orderly personality but on some level, I feel Stan likes that about Richie and would like to see more of those aspects of their relationship, them needing each other and cancelling each other’s worst traits out.
+ I love the thought of Stan knowing Richie is gay; maybe he figured it out himself, or maybe Richie actually managed to come out to him at some point but I love them being bound by that secret. I tend to headcanon Stan as bi, so I’d love for Stan to come out to Richie as well.
+ More of Richie/Stan, especially during the time period all the losers broke up and split apart. I loved that Richie was the only one who went to the bar mitzvah, and it seems like they had their own special connection that he didn't with the others. I’d love to see Richie take comfort in Stan, when Eddie can’t come and play, and when Richie is avoiding Bill.
+ More of Richie cheering Stan on and encouraging his defiance! I would love moments of Richie encouraging some bad behavior, or for Stan to stand up for himself, and Stan valuing Richie because he allows him to rebel in ways he wouldn't otherwise.
+ I would love Richie upset that no boy will ever kiss him and Stan does in fact kiss him, now there, you can’t complain anymore. I would to see where that goes from there, and Richie developing a crush on Stan as well.
+ Werewolf AU. Richie as a terrified werewolf scared Stan will reject him because Stan is bad with things out of the norm. Or Stan as a reluctant werewolf, nervous his best friend will reject him.
+ Stan takes Richie bird watching. It’s surprisingly peaceful.
+ Friends with benefits situation. I kinda love the thought of Richie and Stan striking up some friends with benefits relationship that spirals into something more, or combusts from all the feelings they catch, or maybe works out exactly as planned. I like Richie thinking if Stan likes boys, and he likes boys too, maybe they could like boys together, since they can’t date anyone else? In general, I love young teen romance and sexually experimenting with each other and thinking they have no other outlet.
+ Going off that--Stan spanking Richie. Or Stan domming Richie in any way.
+ Richie mourning Stan. Post film, Richie going to visit his wife to learn who Stan grew up to be.
+ Ghost Stan haunting Richie. Richie having visions of Stan and not sure what it means. Any all spooky post Stan’s death fic with Stan still hanging around in some capacity.
PART TWO - OLDER ADULTS
Andrea Uris/Maggie Tozier
+ My needs are very simple; I really want Derry mom affair fic. Andrea and Maggie meeting and maybe both of them are very different women—-Andrea more traditional, Maggie more hippie or free-spirited—-and unexpectedly hit it off. Maybe Maggie tries to seduce Andrea, or maybe Andrea develops feelings she doesn’t fully understand.
+ Andrea, dissatisfied with her husband (or maybe even a secret lesbian), tries a secret relationship with Maggie Tozier.
+ Maggie and Andrea having wine together or planning a book club or party and end up making out. Maybe both of them bringing Richie or Stan over to each other’s house for a play date and end up using the time to fool around.
+ Maybe Maggie doesn’t see it as cheating. Maybe she tells Andrea that it’s okay because they’re both women that to justify it.
+ Or maybe Maggie and Wentworth are in an open relationship and both of them are allowed to cheat on each other with a same sex partner.
+ I am happy with something more one-sided! Maybe Andrea develops a crush on Maggie and doesn’t know how to process that or what to do with those feelings, given she’s married to a man, and she never makes a move but she pines a lot.
+ If you’d like to go to a Wentworth/Maggie/Andrea place, I’d love that.
+ Stanley, or Richie, or both of them find out.
Frank Kaspbrak/Maggie Tozier/Wentworth Tozier
+ I really love the thought of the three of them falling into a threesome together, especially if Maggie and Wentworth team up to seduce Frank Kaspbrak. This can be pre-Sonia, or they could be having an affair. I like both the thought of Frank having a wild past with the Toziers, who he didn’t realize were a pair of swingers, or Frank feeling suffocated by his relationship with Sonia and letting Maggie and Wentworth seduce him because of it.
+ I also adore the thought of these three growing up in Derry together--not a generation xerox situation, with all of them as childhood best friends like the losers (though I am happy to read that version of events as well) but they know each other because it’s such a small town and start to come together as teenagers or young adults. Maybe Frank dated Maggie first? Or maybe Frank and Wentworth have a relationship on the downlow together? Maybe even while Wentworth is dating Maggie. Somehow this eventually leads to a threesome together.
+ The thought of either of the men as a Vietnam vet is fascinating to me and I’d love that worked in some way. I especially love if maybe Wentworth goes to war and Frank stays behind (who didn’t get drafted due to health issues), promising to take care of Maggie and they end up having an affair. Wentworth turns out not to mind (especially if he and Frank were also fooling around).
+ My ideal dream fic is a fic where Sonia dies relatively young for reasons, and Frank needs help raising Eddie, so Maggie and Wentworth help a lot, until they become like second parents to Eddie as well. Maybe Frank eventually moves in with them, or stays over so often he may as well be moving in. Eddie and Richie grow up together, while Frank slowly gets involved in a throuple relationship with Maggie and Wentworth
+ For something much darker, I like the thought of Frank and Maggie, or Frank & Wentworth being siblings together, and sharing a partner together. Especially if they want to stay in each other’s lives, so Frank/Maggie can’t be together openly but if Maggie marries Wentworth, they can keep being in each other’s lives. Or Wentworth and Frank are siblings and Wentworth marries Maggie but drags his brother around everywhere.
+ The only thing I don’t want is bad dad Wentworth. He can be distant or not around, or disconnected from Richie but I don’t want him to be abusive or hateful towards him. Background Reddie or the parents low key supporting Reddie is encouraged!
Frank Kaspbrak/Wentworth Tozier
+ If you want to write something without Maggie involved, I like the thought of Frank and Wentworth having a romantic and/or sexual relationship together before either man got married. Maybe they were childhood friends, or high school buddies who started fooling around, or maybe queer men in Derry were so rare that they ended up having casual sex together that turns into more.
+ Frank/Wentworth dating in secret, and having to stop when Wentworth gets married to Maggie, and just the angsty fall out of that (I like affairs, open relationships and poly though so if you want to lean into those things, feel free).
+ AU where Frank and Wentworth end up raising Eddie and Richie together. Perhaps Maggie and Wentworth divorced, perhaps Sonia died young, perhaps Maggie and Sonia both died...whichever way you make it happen, I’d like for Wentworth and Frank to be bereft and mourning and struggling to raise a kid on their own, so they combine forces...maybe even move in together. I’d like it if they didn’t have any romantic feelings for each other at first, but end up developing a relationship together, while presenting to the world as bachelors or widowers. I love the thought of Eddie and Richie being raised by two dads, who aren’t telling anyone they’re together, but maybe they end up with a healthier view of m/m relationships together.
PART THREE - DARKER SHIPS
Henry Bowers/Patrick Hockstetter
+ Backstory! I am really curious how they came together. Did they grow up together? Were they always aware of each other throughout their lives ? How does Henry’s status as the Sheriff’s son affect their relationship? Did they decide to form their gang together first?
+ I loved the scene with Patrick getting Henry off in the book and I want more of that? More of like, Patrick offering blowjobs and handjobs and Henry convincing himself this isn’t GAY, Patrick is just weird, he’s not GAY. I especially want Patrick’s perspective on this and how he feels being seen as lesser than Henry, but still wanting to get him off.
+ Patirck gets tired and fed up of Henry’s internalized homophobia and dubcons him into enjoying sex with him, whether it’s with alcohol or drugs to make him more pliant, or just sitting on his cock until he responds positively. Patrick getting Henry hard and riding his cock, even while Henry protests, or Patrick trying to show Henry it’s okay to be gay, by fingering him until he comes even while he’s protesting. It’s okay if this leans more on the noncon side of dubcon, as long as Henry gets off. I would basically like to see Patrick frustrated for being a dirty little secret, but also genuinely wanna help Henry be more like him, but because he’s Patrick, he doesn’t know how to do anything in a genuinely functional way.
+ Hurt/comfort after Henry’s dad beats him. Patrick stitching up the wounds or tending to them. Patrick being comforting but creepy, like telling him he should kill his dad and it’s totally easy, don’t worry, Henry.
+ Alternatively, they kill Butch Bowers together.
+ Henry hallucinates Patrick while in Juniper Hill. Maybe sexy hallucinations, maybe creepy ones, or both. Henry constantly talking to Patrick long after Patrick’s death.
+ Zombie Patrick blowing Henry in IT Chapter 2. Like old times, even though his mouth isn’t very warm anymore.
Connor Bowers/Henry Bowers/Patrick Hockstetter
+ I really like Connor having a sibling like relationship with Henry, hero worshipping him while Henry sincerely wants to do right by Connor, but Patrick is there to ruin everything. By ruin everything, that’s up to you--maybe he tries to trick either of them into a threesome with him, maybe he convinces Henry they should have a threesome with Connor, maybe Patrick takes Connor under his wing instead and coerces/grooms/tricks him into a threesome with his cousin. Henry could be horrified by it but go along with it because he thinks that’s what Connor wants, or maybe Patrick convinces him for real they should fuck Connor together, whether Connor wants to or not. Basically dubcon verging on noncon creepy seduction on Patrick’s behalf.
+ I like the thought of Connor wanting to be in the Bowers gang, and Patrick and Henry testing him in increasingly boundary crossing and sexually charged way, to initiate him. I would like if these “tests” are just excuses for porn but also if Patrick legit tries to teach Connor how to fight and hurt people, and then decides he and Henry should reward him with sex for a job well done.
+ Connor with a crush on both of them.
+ Connor walking in on Patrick/Henry and Patrick deciding to drag Connor into their relationship. Maybe even framing it as providing sex lessons for Connor.
+ Patrick catching Connor/Henry together instead; maybe he does something to involve himself, just watches or records them in some way.
Gretta Keene/Beverly Marsh
+ I really like ships between a bully mean girl and the girl she’s bullying. I love that push pull dynamic and I love it when the antagonism turns into sexual tension or sexual bullying, and I especially like it when the bully’s victim turns the tables and gets the upper hand in some way. So all of that is a lot of ways to say, I’d love for Gretta to continue to bully Beverly and for Beverly to snap and explode and fight Gretta and this lead to really rough hate sex.
+ Gretta bullies Beverly because she has a crush on her and hates that about her. Beverly realizes this and does something about it.
+ But also Gretta bullies Beverly because she thinks Beverly fucked Bowers (or any guy Gretta likes) and she’s angry at her for that...this turns into angry hatesex in the girl’s bathroom.
+ Beverly getting the upper hand and turning the tables on Gretta, pinning her down, shoving her, being violent in a way Gretta isnt used to, and realizing she’s turned on by her. Things escalate.
+ Later in high school, Gretta no longer bullies Beverly but they both have an arrangement for angry rough hate sex. I’d like it if this turned into both of them developing real, soft feelings for each other but ruining their relationship regardless because neither of them know how to manage those feelings or how to cope with them in a healthy way.
+ Beverly/Gretta, years later--whether that’s in high school or post leaving Derry. Maybe an AU where Beverly never leaves Derry--perhaps she’s the lighthouse keeper in this verse?---and she and Gretta end up legit getting together.
+ I like the thought of them recoling, post Derry, maybe post Chapter Two but also of Gretta never repenting and continuing to be terrible, because Derry.
Patrick Hockstetter/Richie Tozier
Eddie Kaspbrak/Patrick Hockstetter
Patrick Hockstetter/Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier
Some of these prompts could work for all ships, so if you want to write a Patrick/Eddie scenario I prompted for Richie/Patrick or the other way around, go ahead. If you combine prompts, that’s also great.
In re: to my usual noncon DNW (that I removed, mainly for these prompts, though not specifically limited to just these ships), I really just want to state that I don’t want violent noncon (with the person being raped screaming and crying, in a lot of pain, and not orgasming), but I LOVE coercion, blackmail, the person being nonconned feeling like they have no choice, feeling violated and disgusted, or frog boiling situation where someone gets in way too deep over their heads and can’t back out as the aggressor escalates. I love the psychological mind fuck of not wanting sex with this person but their bodies are aroused or they orgasm anyway. I love exploring those issues and the shame and guilt that comes with that. I also love “would have consented but not like this” situations especially for these ships, with Eddie and Richie attracted to Patrick but being more scared of him than anything else.
And of course, I am really here for more dubious or even fully consensual take on these ships. I’d love to read about either Richie or Eddie consensually hooking up with Patrick, and it being a terrible idea in many other ways! I mainly want lots of Patrick fucking around with Reddie and messing with them, however that turns out.:
+ Patrick as Richie’s bad first queer experience. Patrick as Eddie’s first bad queer experience. Richie trying to have gay sex or gay sex experiences, and only Patrick is available (as far as he knows). Richie enjoying it but feeling like a monster, sick and wrong, for it. Patrick rubbing it in his nose, calling him a cocksucker and verbally humiliating him, and making his insecurities worse. Patrick forcing Richie to mastrubate for him.
+ Patrick taking advantage of Richie’s internalized homophobia to blackmail him into an on going sexual relationship.
+ Patrick picks up on Richie being gay, and propositions Richie for sex, reasoning to Richie that he may as well lose his virginity sometime and he’s the only other person into dudes Richie knows. Maybe Richie is young enough that it’s more terrifying than appealing, or Patrick propositions him while dangling a knife in his face. He can be angry right there, full of terror, or he runs away from Patrick, but the idea sticks in the back of his head and he keeps thinking about it.
+ Patrick and Richie have an arrangement where they meet up every now and then for enemies with benefits sex. Patrick is good at getting Richie off, but also demands a lot in return (weird positions, humiliating dirty talk, demands to take naked photos of Richie, uses his knife on him, etc.) that Richie isn’t entirely comfortable with (but he still comes for it). Definitely lean into rough, painful or dangerous sex as a form of self-harm.
+ Patrick, after the loss of his friends, wants a new gang, and decides to latch on to Richie and take him under his wing, whether Richie likes it or not. I would love Patrick honestly not understanding why Richie is so freaked out by him, and Patrick thinking Richie should be grateful he wants to teach him things—-useful things, violent things, and sexual things. I also want this with Patrick/Eddie and would love this for Patrick/Richie/Eddie as well. In general, I love the thought of Patrick surviving but missing his gang, and trying to remake a new sort of gang with Richie and Eddie (much to their terror).
+ Richie getting drunk to lose his virginity to Patrick. Richie thinking or knowing he’s not gonna like it so he gets himself intoxicated so he can disconnect from it.
+ I would like teen Eddie seeking out Patrick for rough/dangerous/violent sex, partly because he heard Patrick can provide, and partly because he wants to prove he can handle it and he’s not delicate. Eddie discovering he’s way kinkier than he imagined. Eddie trying to rebel and not be his mommy’s little boy anymore. Eddie comparing his mom and Patrick to each other, and deciding that as scary as Patrick is, he prefers him to his mom.
+ In general, Patrick teasing Eddie, calling him a baby and treating him like one, making Eddie eager to show him that he’s not a child. Obviously this leads to really ill-advised sex. .
+ Really anything with Eddie, desperate to prove he’s brave and not delicate, and letting Patrick do things to him because of that. Patrick breaking into Eddie’s room at night to fuck him, telling him he can scream and call his mom if he wants him to stop, and Eddie...doesn’t want to involve Sonia, so he lets Patrick have his way with him.
+ Eddie gets left alone in Derry after all of his friends go to college, having to take care of his sick mother...except Patrick is still alive and kicking for some reason. I would love them to end up in a toxic, fucked up sexually charged relationship because Eddie is so desperately lonely and Patrick ending up attached to him on some level.
+ Werewolf au, vampire au, serial killer au! I promise I don’t think of all of these as the same, but I really want some AU where Patrick is a monster and takes either Richie or Eddie or both under his wing. I love the thought of serial killer lessons, or turning them both into vampires and teaching them how to hunt and kill. Patrick trying to remake a wolf pack with Richie and Eddie.
+ Sex pollen! It could be a more grounded depiction, a designer drug that Patrick got his hands on, or maybe Derry has actual sex pollen growing in the barrens. I love the thought of Patrick throwing sex pollen on Richie or Eddie to make them more pliant or uncontrollably horny so they need HIM to get off and feel better. Or they both (or all) get drugged against their will and have to ride it out together. Or Patrick drugs Richie and Eddie together and gets more than he bargained for when they overwhelm him sexually. I love Patrick getting a taste of his own medicine.
+ AU where Eddie runs away from home and becomes an underage street sex worker, and runs into...Patrick. I love both the thought of Patrick being a client who will pay a lot for intense stuff, but also the thought of Patrick taking under his wing, and offering to protect him, in exchange for favors (sexual favors). Or Patrick as Eddie’s pimp, or at least, Eddie’s sex worker mentor, who is very hands on and demands a lot and insists on making sure he’s ready for the big leagues by testing him out.
+ Patrick makes Richie and Eddie fuck or die. Maybe he threatens to out one of them if they don’t perform for him? Maybe he’s been fucking Richie and learned Richie has a crush on Eddie, so he drags Eddie in their arrangement to make Richie fuck his crush already. Maybe Patrick knows about Richie’s crush on Eddie and agrees to help them get together but once they do, Patrick insists Richie share with him, as payment.
+ Patrick being both Eddie and Richie’s bad touch booty call they’re both into and disgusted by, but not knowing the other is also sleeping with Patrick, and Patrick taking full advantage of that situation, playing them off each other. Or something a lot darker, Eddie or Richie volunteering to be raped to spare the other; Patrick threatening one of them with something worse so Eddie and Richie volunteer to let Patrick fuck them in front of the other to spare their friend. One of them holding the other while Patrick noncons them is great.
+ Patrick filming Reddie sex, with or without their knoweldge. If he’s doing it with their knowledge, I’d love for him to be directing and telling them what to do and how to fuck each other, and maybe getting involved in later. Patrick making his own jerk off videos of them. Patrick taking sexy polaroid photos of them, either individually, or together, and using it as blackmail for more.
+ Something with the handjob scene between Henry and Patrick from the book, only make Richie be the one watching, or Eddie, or both of them. I’d be happy with just voyeurism (if both Richie and Eddie are watching, maybe they get really turned on and get off to it), or Patrick noticing he’s being watched, and it leading to another sexual encounter between the three of them. I would not be opposed to Richie and Eddie being caught, and being forced to fuck or die for them, with Henry involved as well.
Thank you so much for writing for me! I'll try to keep this letter at a manageable length but I usually tend to ramble a lot. I have a lot of ships, and I’ve prompted a lot of these in other places before. I like a wide variety of things, and I’m pretty easy to please, with only a few dealbreakers, so if none of my prompts spark your interest, feel free to go with another idea or something else, as long as my DNWs aren't hit.
+ I love backstory fic, missing scenes, future fic, codas, snapshots, vignettes and character studies. Pre-series/pre-canon, post canon, “what now?” fic. Happy endings, bittersweet endings, downer endings. Melancholy vibes. Canon-divergence AUs. Five times fic. Playing with format. Interactive fiction and choose your own adventure. Epistolary fic.
+ First times. Awkward wooing. Awkward & fumbling first times. Pining. Casual sex. Reunions. Friends with benefits. Enemies with benefits. Friends to lovers. Enemies to friends to lovers. Enemies to lovers. Reluctant friends. Reluctant partners. Found families.
+ Being vulnerable, especially when it's someone who is normally stoic or tough. Saying “I love you” with actions.
+ Codependency. Jealousy. Unhealthy relationships. Dysfunctional people who love each other. “Us against the world” dynamics. People doing terrible things for one another. Bonnie/Clyde dynamics. Stockholm Syndrome/Lima Syndrome. Manipulation. Messy power dynamics. Poor boundaries in general.
+ Coping with trauma. Unhealthy coping mechanisms. Exploration of trauma.
+ Slow burns. UST. Fake married. Fake dating. Forced to share a bed together. Huddling for warmth. Snowed in. Crossdressing for REASONS. Undercover for REASONS. Banter. Domesticity.
+ Travel. Roadtrip aesthetics. Abandoned places. Ocean, beach, forests, deserts. Motels and diners and rest stops. Long stretches of road. Liminal spaces. I guess, if I had to define it, I like stories that take place in between spaces--either literal spaces, or emotional spaces.
+ Hurt/comfort, though I prefer an emphasize on the comfort over the hurt. I love one person stitching another person up, or taking care of a sick friend or partner, or something more weird, like helping your decomposing boyfriend, or feeding a sickly or hungry vampire your own blood or someone else's.
+ I love horror stories! Unless specified otherwise, or there's a DNW, feel free to go full dark, no stars. I love body horror, monsters transformations, coming back from the dead wrong, eldritch abominations, incomprehensible cosmic horror, cannibalism, restless spirits, vanishing hitchhikers, sentient locations (preferably if they are evil locations), serial killer AUs. Humans who are monsters deep down and monsters trying to be humans. Moral ambiguity or moral corruption. Descents into the underworld, literal or otherwise, and/or moral descents. Claustrophobia, literal or emotional. Unreliable narrators.
+ Monster AUs are fun! I love turning characters into vampires, werewolves, witches, sirens, cat people, revenants (as in, undead people who may or may not need to eat people, but not mindless zombies), even in non fantasy settings. Turn all my faves into monsters! I also love horror movie AUs for everything (for example, Jennifer’s Body AU, Evil Summer Camp AU, Ginger Snaps AU, etc)
+ Seasonal/Winter Likes: People having their own, idiocrynstastic holiday traditions, especially non religious or non-Christmas traditions. Non-Christmas holidays/observations. Going to mass/temple/church while not being religious. Being alone on Christmas, and then a friend (or more) show up to keep them company. Nostalgia—remembering better days. Making new Christmas/Holiday memories with a new partner. Characters who hate the holidays because of trauma enjoying themselves again. Winter folklore/mythology. Snowfall, white christmases, blizzards, snowed in, snowed in a cabin in the woods, power outages, snow days, winter break. Warm weather holidays with palm trees or desert. Coming in from the cold. Car breaking down by the side of the road in winter. Sex by the fireplace. Telling horror stories over a fireplace. Any focus on the desolation and bleakness of winter. Getting darker a lot earlier. Seasonal foods (hot cocoa, gingerbread, spiked eggnog, mulled wine, peppermint anything). Ugly christmas sweater parties. Huddling for warmth because of the weather. Meeting the family for the first time over the holidays.
☆Physicality. Exploration of sexuality. People using sex as a way to communicate, bond, work through issues (either in a healthy or unhealthy way), project onto others, transferrence issues.
☆ Masturbation and fantasizing about the other character before getting together, mutual masturbation, one character watching the other maturbate, either accidentally or deliberately. Instruction on masturbation.
☆ Hands, grabbing on tight, nails digging in or scratching. A fixation on fingers, or oral fixation. Fingering, fingering someone in inappropriate places. Making someone suck on fingers.
☆ Blood, bloodkink, bloodplay (go wild with vampire characters honestly), any kind of biting.
☆ Bruises and marking, physical signs of someone else on the body. Scar kink.
☆ Monster sex of ANY kind. Monsters being rough or violent with each other (consensually, but not necessarily negotiated) in bed. Feral or animalistic behavior.
☆ Rough sex and manhandling! I love when characters get pinned against a wall, pushed around, bent over, or used roughly just to get off. Hair pulling, yanking a character’s head back by the hair. Physical contact as foreplay, even and especially when the characters wouldn’t admit they’re into each other. Roughhousing as an excuse to touch each other, playful wrestling that leads to more.
☆ Guns and gun kink (anywhere from being turned on by guns to fucking someone with a gun).
☆ Knife play. Weapon play. Shaving. Mirror sex. Light bondage (ropes and handcuffs and blindfolds, mainly). Breathplay and choking. D/s set ups, though I prefer poorly negotiated or informat set ups.
☆ Public sex, wall sex, car sex, seedy hotel sex, shower and/or bath sex. Just, sex in weird places in general, either with or without a high risk of getting caught.
☆ Scent kink, in a werewolf or vampire way with heightened senses, or one partner really loving the smell of someone else and getting off to it.
☆ First times. Inexperience. Showing someone what’s hot for them and what they like in bed, or discovering it together.
☆ Intercrural. Blowjobs. Face fucking, choking on a cock, hair pulling, or beind held down. Cunninlingus. Face sitting. Rimming, tongue fucking someone. Body worship. Mutual mastrubation, frottage, grinding on someone. Making someone come without touching them (or only touching their nipples, or only touching their prostate).
☆ Penetration: hole stretching, hole training. Fingering, coming from just fingering. Bareback. Sloppy lubrication, messy penetrative sex, double-penetration in one hole or in vagina and ass, multiple penetration and spitroasting. Sloppy hole after gangbang. Object insertion.

☆ Praise kink. Dirty talk. Vocal sex, loud sex, unable to keep quiet. Partner kinking on moans, whimpering, mewling, whining. Vocal displays of losing control.
☆ Consensual or dubiously consensual somnophilia. Oral sex or fucking partner awake. Pretending to be asleep to let someone explore. Having sex with a half-asleep or extremely sleepy partner. Giving permission to use their body to get off when asleep. Assuming blanket permission or poorly negotiated boundaries leading to touching someone in their sleep and the other person isn't aware of it until the morning and feels fucked up about it, or wakes up in the middle of it.
☆ Sex pollen! I like characters losing control of themselves due to overwhelming desire and being completely uninhibited during sex, saying and doing stuff they would otherwise be too embarassed or nervous to do. I like this when the loss of control is portrayed as horrifying, but also when it’s just a fun mishap, or leads to characters who are already attracted to each other to finally act on their feelings, or somewhere in between. I love the angsty fall out of it all, but I also like it when no one’s traumatized after and they realized they enjoyed that more than they thought they would and would maybe like to do it again?

☆ Dubious consent due to outside forces, as in: Something Made Them Do It, Fuck or Die, Sex Pollen, Heat Sex, Drugged/Inebriated Sex, Fever Sex. Curses that can only be broken with sex, scenarios where a character is mind controlled or possessed, and made to threaten a loved one, character turned into a monster and will only turn back if someone has sex with the. Or two parties are forced by a third party for their entertainment or pleasure via blackmail or coercion. Being forced to be photographed or filmed by a third party to create evidence or blackmail.
Unrequested AUs, unrequested ships. V shaped poly relationships. Acknowledgement of canon ships or past canon ships are fine though. Background canon ships are fine. Background requested ships are fine (i.e. it’s okay to write a Reddie fic and put Stan/Mike as a side pairing, because I requested both).
Unrequested noncon. Violent rape. Non-aroused or non orgasmining victims in non con situations.
Graphic animal cruelty. Non graphic animal death, off screen death, references to how serial killers got their start or monsters eating an animal is fine. That's all fun. I mainly do not want to think about dead pets.
Graphic depictions of child abuse & sexual abuse. The aftereffects of abuse or trauma of abuse is okay. Characters coping with abuse is okay. CAVEAT: Anything involving Patrick Hockstetter and parent/child ships is okay though; don’t worry about this specific DNW.
Extreme underage (I am okay with anything 13 and up).
Graphic depictions of child death. Alluded to, or as part of the plot is okay, though. It’s okay to talk about or mention Pennywise eating kids, or reference the aftermath (i.e. the scene in IT where they find half of Betty Ripsom’s body).
Cancer, or any terminal illnesses.
Torture, Saw style death traps. Medical gore/horror. Permanent mutilation/injury.
Oviposition, belly kink/stomach bulges, watersports, scat, bestiality (pseudo bestiality like werewolf/human or xeno stuff is fine).
Deathfic of requested characters unless otherwise specified (I don’t consider it deathfic if someone dies and then comes back in the same fic).
PART ONE - LOSER SHIPS:
I requested the OT7 because I love them, but I’m also okay with Bill/Mike/Ben/Richie/Bev and Bill/Mike/Richie/Bev/Eddie/Ben; basically I’m okay if Stan or Eddie stay dead, if you want to write fic set after their deaths (but I’d also be happy if they’re alive, even if it’s handwaved or never explained why!). Basically, I am okay with ignoring my character death DNW if you want to acknowledge Eddie or Stan’s canon deaths. Additionally, feel free to take any one of these prompts and use it for another ship I prompted as well too (i.e., Bill/Mike werewolf AU, or Stanley/Mike New Mutants AU, etc.)! Mixing and matching is fine.
+ I spent the whole movie expecting Mike to suggest an orgy to defeat Pennywise or perform the ritual. I still want that, tbh, where the ritual of CHUD requires group sex, or they defeat Pennywise by harnessing the power of love...via group sex. Or they have an orgy to bond them all closer together so they don't forget each other. Or instead of the sewers/house collapsing in them, they're trapped there and having sex together unlocks the way out. I would also enjoy a fuck or die, or sex pollen esque scenario--maybe strange things just happen in Derry regardless--but honestly, I just want the Losers to tenderly, desperately, reaffirm their bond and how much they love each other with sex.
+ I would love something that plays with the concept of the infamous gangbang from the book in this version, but maybe when they're older and not with Bev in the middle, necessarily. Maybe they all take turns being the focal point of a gangbang. I would be fine with something set during Chapter 2, but also when they’re teenagers, just older than they are in Chapter 1.
+ The losers perform some terrible, eldritch ritual to bring Eddie and/or Stan back to life. I’d love it if Eddie or Stan came back “wrong” in some way but the Losers still love them, and they still love the losers, it’s just all twisted up now.
+ All the losers keeping in touch with one another set after the second movie, making sure they constantly meet up again, visiting each other yearly at various different points, sending gifts, skype chats, group chats. Maybe they even move in together or establish some kind of home base for all of them to just hang out. I really love codependent losers just living together and slipping in and out of each other’s beds. Just doing their best not to forget each other again.
+ Bill writes in his friends in his horror books constantly, and has no idea he’s doing it. I would kind love it if he shipped himself accidentally with all of his friends with his self insert in his books, but didn’t realize it until he sees them at the Orient and has a Moment of Realizing Things. Maybe Bill had sex with all of his friends during the 27 years in a series of one night stands, and now it’s really awkward when he remembers that when he sees them again.
+ I watched the New Mutants trailer and I would kill for an OT7 Losers AU with that same scenario. Basically, give them all super hero mutant powers and make them “bad kids” who get locked up in a “hospital facility” like in the trailer, then let them all bond and escape. Or murder their captors. I’m not picky!
+ Here me out...modern AU. But not as an excuse for a college AU or no Pennywise stuff. I mean the Losers Club as 13 year old Gen Z kids. How does the summer where Pennywise tries to eat them differ in the modern day? Are there cell phone recordings of Pennywise, or does he not show up on camera? Are there creepy youtube videos? Do Stan or Mike or Ben try to document everything online and people accuse them of making up an ARG? Does Pennywise have a harder time eating kids because no one trusts a clown anymore and most kids are terrified of climate change now? Is Richie an annoying twitch streamer?
+ Vampire AU. I am an absolute sucker for a vampire AU, I would probs read it for every fandom. Maybe Pennywise is an evil vampire clown serial killer, eating children, and preying on the Losers Club. Maybe one of the losers gets turned into a vampire and they all band together to support them and protect them. Or all the Losers end up becoming vampires, turning each other until none of them are human anymore. I see this set as teenagers but I would also love it if one of them became a vampire in the 27 years and went around trying to recruit their friends.
+ Werewolf pack AU, because I love the thought of the Losers Club actually being a pack of werewolves and running around in the woods.
+ Serial killer AU where the Losers are actually a group of serial killing teenagers. They could target other children, or they could be tormenting that sad lonely clown that lives down the road. I would just love to see them as the bad guys, as the darkest versions of themselves, while still being devoted and loving to each other. Alternatively, the losers all return to Derry 27 years later and have to hide from each other that they’ve become serial killers in the time in between...until they realize they all share the same dark hobby.
+ I usually handwave Bev still being in Derry after Chapter 1 for fic purposes--like maybe her aunt moved to Derry instead--but I would like an AU where she’s still being abused by her dad, until she and the losers conspire together to murder him.
+ Post Chapter Two, the losers conspire to kill Tom together.
+ Sense8 AU, or in this case, Sense7. Feel free to play around with the whole Sense8 mythology. You can have them all born on the same day, or their soul connection being due to other reasons (the blood oath maybe).
+ I would also love a soulbond AU, especially if the blood oath soul bonded them all together. Them being bound together that way and unable to ever fully escape each other’s thoughts or feelings. Would they still forget each other or would that inoculate them against losing memories of each other?
+ I love this love triangle that isn’t really a love triangle because Bill and Ben never fight over Beverly and remain friends and neither of them expect any kind of romance from her, and I think that’s beautiful. I would love to see it blossom into a poly trio relationship between them.
+ Post canon, Ben and Beverly have gotten together but I would love to see Bill show up at the doorstep, freshly divorced and fully intending to just visit his friends because they’re a little codependent post canon, but it turns into something more. I love first times and getting together fics, especially for unconventional relationships and would love to see them navigate their new lives together.
(for the record, I am always operating under the assumption that Bill is getting divorced post canon unless otherwise stated).
+ Maybe instead of Bill/Bev sleeping together (like it went down in the book), they end up having a threesome instead. There’s probably a little glimmer of unaccounted time where it could happen (post orient, pre morning?) but who cares, stretch out the timeline, go really AU, it’s fine with me.
I am okay with infidelity here, though mainly only because I imagine Audra is already pretty pissed at Bill for walking out on the movie and I can’t imagine things are really good between them.
+ High school romance; I would love it if Ben and Bill also had feelings for each other in addition to Beverly but none of them are aware of them, or think they only have romantic feelings for Bev. I would love to see Ben be cute with them both and Bill having a crush on both of his friends and maybe ineptly trying to date them both. (Assume Bev doesn’t move away? Maybe her aunt moves to Derry instead so she can still go to high school with them).
+ Beverly takes both of them to the prom. Beverly has two hands!
+ Post chapter 2 divorcee hook-ups. I’d love for them to bond and commiserate over their divorces after the movie. Maybe Eddie even moves in with him in his LA home after he leaves Myra and they give being roommates a try. Maybe they get drunk one night and hit on each other and it escalates.
+ Anything set in the 27 years together. Eddie meets Bill at a book signing and they hit it off. Eddie, reading all of Bill’s books, getting a little fixated on him, and finding that his books speak to him on some level. Bill/Eddie, fucking in a bathroom after a book signing.
+ This is a long shot prompt, but I love the thought of them engaging in incest roleplay as teenagers—maybe it starts innocently, with Bill calling Eddie his brother in the wake of Georgie’s death, then escalates into something more and a little creepier. For Bill, I’d love him to replace Georgie with Eddie in his head, even if Eddie isn’t actually younger than him. For Eddie, I would like him to have weird boundary issues and psychosexual issues—he doesn’t have any male family figures in his life, so when Bill wants to call him brother, he gets very into it and clings to it, and gets very turned on when Bill keeps calling him that. Incest roleplay, with both of them getting something out of it.
+ Anything as teenagers? I love all the young love, friends to lovers tropes and I’d love to see them gradually realize they’re interested in each other in that way.
+ Hurt/comfort, for either of them. Bill providing the comfort after Sonia does something to Eddie, or Eddie providing Bill company in the wake of his parents’ neglect.
+ Something messy, with them jealous of each other. Bill wishes his parents paid attention to him like Sonia does with Eddie, and Eddie wishes his mom would leave him alone like Bill’s parents. Both of them fighting and struggling over this before eventually coming to an understanding.
+ Bill/Eddie snuggles at a sleep over. Snuggles turning into something more. Awkward morning wood and jerking off together.
+ I love the idea of baby Eddie befriending Bill first as a kid, because as a sickly child, he related to Bill’s intense stutter. I’d love to see more of that, with both of them being seen as weak, sickly children and clinging to each other because of that, and how that develops as they grow up—-Eddie no longer wanting to be seen as weak, and Bill trying to teach himself not to stutter at all.
+ DRUNK KISSES AND CONFESSIONS AND MAYBE HOOK UPS. I would especially love teenage drunk kisses, especially if Richie is sad (maybe Eddie has left town already) and Bill is trying hard to cheer him up. I’d love it if what started as h/c turns into something more.
+ I also want a fwb relationship that turns into more. Maybe they just start fooling around because neither of them know what sex is like and want to figure it out? And that escalates.
+ That said, I am also into post chapter two friends with benefits that ends up being more emotionally involved than either of them wanted to be. Especially if Bill turns out to be more experienced than Richie in the bedroom.
+ Anything post chapter 2. Hurt/comfort about Eddie and Stan’s deaths. Bill getting a divorce and staying with Richie for a while (they both live in LA!). Both of them trying to see each other more and that leading to more intimate situations.
+ THEY START A BAND. I want this as canon compliant as possible, so yes, 40 year olds in a mid life crisis START A BAND (and then make out).
+ Anything as teenagers. I am a sucker for teenage romance. I am really especially into Richie as being full of internalized homophobia, and Bill, for some reason, not—maybe he doesn’t know enough to call his feelings gay or queer, or maybe he just doesn’t feel the same crushing self loathing as Richie does—but I love the thought of Richie panicking and freaking out about being gay and Bill there to reassure him and help him, maybe even kissing him to make him feel better. Anything with their friendship turning into something more intense, maybe not even necessarily a romance but deeper than something platonic.
+ Anything set in the 27 years. Running into each other in LA and feeling oddly drawn to each other.
+ Any kind of post chapter 2 situation. I would love it if they all moved in and fell into a threesome/throuple relationship together. I’d love to see them try to figure out what it’s like to be friends again as adults, and have that gradually turn into a romance on all ends.
+ Post divorced Bill shows up on Richie and Eddie’s doorstep, who are already together, and they gradually subsume Bill into their relationship. I love middle age, midlife crisis Bill, leaning on Reddie.
+ Bill and Eddie bonding over being middle aged divorcees. Maybe Bill and Eddie hook up and bring Richie into the relationship!
+ Anything with them as teenagers! I love how high energy and intensely passionate and ridiculous they could be as teens, so I would love to see more of Richie and Bill fighting arguing, or Bill and Eddie bonding and snuggling while Richie envies their closeness, or Richie and Eddie “fighting” while Bill watches, or the three of them at sleepovers growing up.
+ Bill and Richie both have a crush on Eddie and end up fighting over him, like both of them trying to sit with Eddie at movies or while they hang out, or Richie feeling like he can never compete with Bill.
+ OR Richie thinking Bill has a crush on Eddie and acting meaner and colder to Bill over it—maybe Reddie is already together—but he really has a crush on Richie. Richie is so surprised by this. Eddie decides to do something about it—or however you wanna get them together.
+ Eddie wants Richie to make a move but he won’t, so Eddie starts flirting and snuggling extra close to Bill, either just as a joke, or actively trying to flirt with him. He doesn’t expect Bill to flirt back and get attached.
+ I generally assume Bill gets divorced after his trip to Derry but what if he tries to make it work afterwards, thinking maybe the closure he got in Derry would save his failing marriage? I would love it if Mike showing up leads to a threesome situation that eases the tensions between Bill and Audra and they don’t get divorced! Though now there’s an added complication of having a third person in their relationship when they’re such public figures.
+ That said, I tend to imagine Bill/Audra as very strained, given their interactions in the movie, so if their relationship falls apart anyway, I am totally fine with that. I love messy, falling apart relationships where no one is really a bad guy but things just don’t or can’t work out. I love the thought of Bill trying to have his cake and eating it too by adding Mike to his marriage and it just blows up instead and makes things worse.
+ Bill sugar-daddying Mike and Audra wondering what is going on, who is this nobody from Maine that he’s giving loads of money and presents to?
+ I really just want to see Mike and Audra getting along famously. It would be really funny if Audra points out how much Mike looks like a certain old spice man. Mike points out she looks like Bev. Mike and Audra developing their own connection outside of Bill and Bill feeling left out.
+ These prompts are short, not because I don’t love them, but because just anything for these two threesomes would be amazing? Like omg thank you so much for even giving my rare polyships a shot.
+ I love the entire dynamic of Eddie and Richie constantly arguing while Stan looks so done with both of them in the background. I'd love more of his pov in general and him as the straight man in their three person group, forced to watch Eddie and Richie court each other by being the most annoying teenage boys ever.
+ I would love to see how a threesome develops, whether they get drunk and just started experimenting, or something a lot more deliberate. I think they all have very intense feelings about each other, and would love the three of them building towards a trio/threesome/poly relationship together. I’d love starting from a Reddie standpoint and adding Stan, but also none of them being together and Stan getting emotionally, sexually and romantically entangled with them both.
+ Or something when they're adults--maybe the three of them end up in the same place together for reasons, before any of them have met their wives. They end up spending New Years together in New York, and run into each other and bond and don’t know why three strangers like them feel so connected.
+ Or they go back to Derry at the same time for a holiday, or start to remember each other.
+ I would adore some kind of established Richie/Eddie, who invite Stan into their relationship.
+ Any high school era shenanigans. Richie and Eddie dragging Stan on adventures, or through their own terrible decisions. I would like Stan to feel annoyed because he feels like a third wheel and Richie and Eddie trying to make him feel otherwise and show him they love him. The three of them getting high together.
+ I love the thought of the three of them as college roommates--maybe in an AU where they do remember Derry for reasons (Pennywise is for real dead? Soulbond? Deadlights? Whichever!), and they end all codependent on each other.
+ I would also love to read about Stan struggling with the trauma from IT/Pennywise and having suicidal tendencies and feelings as a teenager as well, with Richie and Eddie taking care of him or being supportive or there for him. I’d love for a hurt/comfort scenario to lead to kissing.
+ Stan/Eddie/Richie ghost threesomes. In general, I would love Richie haunted by Stan and Eddie--they could haunt the other losers too, but maybe they always drift back to Richie--and Richie feeling horrified but not wanting them to go. I am okay with however you wanna depict the ghosts, as shadows of their former selves, in a come back wrong sort of way, or mostly the same but not able to move on.
+ Stan and Eddie team up to dom the fuck out of Richie.
+ High school era Stanley and Gretta developing a secret sexual relationship, especially if Gretta sexually bullies him throughout their encounters and Stan is annoyed but attracted to her nonetheless. Stan edging her to get back at her bullying him. Stan hiding it from the losers, not because he’s ashamed, but because he doesn’t know how to explain their attraction to each other. Stan and Gretta egging each other on, sexually. Secret encounters in the pharmacy or alleyways or in a car (his car, her car, whichever).
+ Gretta actually liking Stan a lot and thinking he’s a great guy and not sure how to reconcile that with her idea of him being a loser.
+ I like the thought of them both as closed off, stand-offish people who end up melting around each other.
+ Stanley stays in Derry. Stanley and Gretta end up getting married. It works out surprisingly well.
+ FOREVER STRUCK by how much he admired her and how much it meant to him for her to throw that rock at Bowers. IT WAS HIS TOTEM. That’s an intense depth of emotion there and I would honestly love to see that explored, his intense feelings about Beverly and towards Beverly, the journey to finding his totem.
+ Anything with them as teenagers. Mike is so quiet as a kid and I’d love to see them grow closer together and what their dynamic is like as children and teenagers. Maybe Mike has a crush on Beverly too, but it’s bad enough that Ben and Bill like her, he’s sure he has no chance.
+ Building off that, friends with benefits relationship as teenagers, that turns into something more.
+ AU where Beverly doesn’t move away and stays in Derry but either legit killed her dad by smashing his head with the toilet cover, or he survived, but now she’s avoiding home. I would love for Beverly to move in with Mike and stay at the farm. I don’t care how feasible or plausible that is, I want it.
+ Beverly keeps having visions of Mike, but she doesn’t know who he is; I would love for instead of Mike tracking her down, she tracks him down.
+ Vampire Bev/Mike who descends from a long line of vampire hunters. Or werewolf Bev with werewolf Mike or human Mike...but I do love the thought of them in a werewolf pack among the losers and Mike drawn to Bev in particular.
+ Mike, somehow, figures out that Tom is abusing Bev and ends up making contact with her before it’s time to call the Losers back to Derry, trying to get in between them.
+ Post canon fic is always welcomed—I want so much fic set after the movie with all of them trying to move on and dealing with both the trauma of fighting Pennywise, losing Eddie and Stan and dealing with getting their memories back. I’d love to see a weird, slightly uncomfortable codependence between them.
+ I am pretty firmly convinced that Eddie must have already known who Mike was when they first encountered him being menaced by the Bowers gang. I would love the backstory to that friendship. Have they crossed paths in Derry before? Have they spent any time playing together? Does Eddie feel bad for Mike because he’s home schooled? Would they meet up while Mike is delivering meat and Eddie on his way to the pharmacy to pick up his meds, and they hit it off? Give me them having this secret relationship no one else really knows about or has picked up on yet.
+ Mike and Eddie mutually crushing on each other would be really, really cute. All the cute handholding and Mike getting older and filling out as he does so and Eddie developing a huge crush on him because of it. Mike and Eddie spending a lot of extra time together.
+ I love how delighted and happy Mike was to see his friends again and the fond looks he kept shooting everyone, including Eddie, during the Orient scene. I basically want more of that, maybe something with Mike and Eddie having a moment together, or several moments, maybe more of the phone call, maybe Mike and Eddie saving each other’s lives. I’d love a post chapter 2 recovery fic with a focus on Mike/Eddie, especially if Mike stays with Eddie at the hospital in Derry while he heals.
+ Post IT Chapter 2, Eddie comes back wrong somehow, and Mike is there to welcome him back. Maybe Mike feels guilty about Eddie’s death or Mike performed a creepy fucked up ritual to bring Eddie back, or Eddie comes back for other reasons (Derry magic? The turtle?) and Mike is trying to figure out how or why and help Eddie adjust but doesn’t want to let Eddie go again. In general, I would love some creepy unhealthy codependency in this scenario (and feel free to include the other Losers as well).
+ Something set during the 27 years. I love the thought of them having a one night stand that they both regret, Eddie because he cheated on his wife, and Mike because he knows who Eddie is, but Eddie doesn’t know him as his childhood friend. I love that kind of identity mindfuckery and I would love Eddie’s reaction once he remembers Mike in Derry.
+ Cryptid hunters! True crime buddies!
+ Just put them on a roadtrip together. Post chapter 2 roadtrip or post high school roadtrip together.
+ AU where both Mike and Eddie man the Derry lighthouse together (I mean this metaphorically but feel free to do a lighthouse keeper AU for them if you want).
+ The immediate aftermath of saving Mike from Bowers as teens; Mike seemed pretty beaten up and I would love to see Eddie fuss over him afterwards with his fanny pack supplies, and Richie helping out but also trying not to be jealous over Eddie having this secret friendship with Mike he didn’t know about. Richie, watching Eddie in a new context with Mike, and feeling left out.
+ Mike getting used to being in the losers’ club, and gradually becoming more and more comfortable with his new friends, Richie and Eddie included. I’d love to see them all being really physically affectionate and Mike spending time with them both together.
+ Richie upset that Eddie/Mike are into each other because Mike is great, how can Richie compete—I would love for that to lead to an OT3 situation, with Richie having a crush on Mike as well, and not sure what to do with his two crushes getting together or having feelings for one another. I would love for Eddie and Richie to be dramatic assholes about it and Mike’s presence mellowing them out, or for Mike to be caught off guard by how intense Eddie and Richie can be when combined together. But in general, I am down for a poly threesome situation as teenagers, or something totally messy where everyone has feelings for each other and they don’t know what to do with that.
+ Sleepovers. Maybe when they’re older teenagers and long past the age of sleeping over at each other’s house. I can imagine they would gather at Richie’s house because Sonia is off limits for reasons and I can see Leroy being strict about friends staying over, but maybe he gives him some leeway?
+ Anything when they’re adults! All the Eddie lives AUs and instead of Richie/Eddie getting together, something more complicated happens with Mike. They all get together as a throuple? Eddie has to recovery in a Derry hospital for a while so Richie bedside vigils and Mike sticks around to make sure his friends are all okay? All three of them roadtrip together? Mike not having anywhere to go after he leaves Derry so he goes to crash with Richie and ends up being thrown in the middle of Eddie’s divorce battle? Established Richie/Eddie decide to seduce Mike? Something happening between the three of them at the Inn the night before they look for their totems? Eddie and/or Richie do the drugged vision quest thing with Mike as well?
+ Ghost sex. Ghost Eddie haunting them both and freaking them out, but that leading to ghost sex of some kind. Or anything involving a comes back wrong scenario for Eddie.
+ Mike, mourning Stan, visits his wife, and ends up getting to know her. Mike getting to know this new, 40 year old Stan by getting to know his wife. Mike ends up staying longer than he planned to help Patty out around the house. Maybe Mike feeling guilty and like he drove Stan to suicide and wanting to make up for it. Patty trying to get to know this stranger that claims he is Stan’s childhood friend. Mike and Patty slowly falling in love.
+ Grief sex while mourning Stan together. The two of them fucking each other to fuck Stan one last time, especially if Stan/Mike was a thing in the past.
+ The two of them seeing ghost Stan around would be great.
+ I don’t have a lot of prompts here; mainly I want both of them grieving Stan, and using each other to heal. Feel free to end this on a hopeful note, or make it as depressing as you want, with no one actually healing.
+ I’d love all the post chapter 1 fic about them. I really love the deleted scene where Mike comforts Stan at the Neibolt house and I just want so much more about that growing dynamic. Was that the first time he comforted Stan, or was their relationship growing before that scene? Did they meet before Mike joined the group? What happens after they defeat Pennywise? Does Mike share with Stan his fear that Pennywise isn’t dead? I’d love to see him comfort Stan after nearly getting his face eaten off, Stan comfort Mike after having to fight Bowers, and both of them growing closer as a result.
+ Stan/Mike teenage romance, yes please. The other losers can know or it can be a secret they’re hiding. Would love to see bird watching dates, carnival dates, secret hand holding, making out in the quarry, making out in the barn, sleep overs, etc.
+ Stan takes up photography as a hobby and starts documenting Derry. This pleases Mike’s research heart. Then Stan starts taking pictures of the losers as well, and he ends up with more photos of Mike than he thought. Cute crushes revealed via photography.
+ What if Mike doesn’t call Stan directly to summon him back to Derry? What if he went to pick him up instead? What if Stan opens the door to find a very handsome and familiar man standing there who immediately hugs him.
+ I prompt ghost haunting my ship of choice all the time and I am going to prompt it here. I would also love for ghost Stan to hang around Mike a lot, after death. Maybe Mike thinks he’s seeing things and hallucinating, since he doesn’t trust his eyes or that his mind won’t play tricks on him, and it takes a while to realize that’s actually Stan. Or anything exploring the guilt Mike must feel re: Stan’s suicide (which I don’t blame him for but I am sure he feels guilty).
+ Maybe Stan is the last one to leave Derry; maybe he was reluctant to go and encouraged Mike to go to Florida and suggested staying in Derry instead but Mike encouraged and pushed Stan to go to college out of state. Break my heart, okay.
+ That said, give me the AU where they both stay in Derry together. I’d really love to see them grow to be a couple in Derry and how they navigate that town’s homophobia, Stan’s parents, and the general influence of Derry.
+ Any monster AU. Stan gets wings and Mike helps him hide them? Mike ends up becoming a monster hunter and Stan helps out? Stan turns into a reluctant vampire or werewolf and Mike offers to help and do research to change him back?
+ I really love what good friends they seem to be, despite (or because of) their disparate personalities. I’d love to see more about how they balance each other out. I love how chaotic Richie is next to Stan’s orderly personality but on some level, I feel Stan likes that about Richie and would like to see more of those aspects of their relationship, them needing each other and cancelling each other’s worst traits out.
+ I love the thought of Stan knowing Richie is gay; maybe he figured it out himself, or maybe Richie actually managed to come out to him at some point but I love them being bound by that secret. I tend to headcanon Stan as bi, so I’d love for Stan to come out to Richie as well.
+ More of Richie/Stan, especially during the time period all the losers broke up and split apart. I loved that Richie was the only one who went to the bar mitzvah, and it seems like they had their own special connection that he didn't with the others. I’d love to see Richie take comfort in Stan, when Eddie can’t come and play, and when Richie is avoiding Bill.
+ More of Richie cheering Stan on and encouraging his defiance! I would love moments of Richie encouraging some bad behavior, or for Stan to stand up for himself, and Stan valuing Richie because he allows him to rebel in ways he wouldn't otherwise.
+ I would love Richie upset that no boy will ever kiss him and Stan does in fact kiss him, now there, you can’t complain anymore. I would to see where that goes from there, and Richie developing a crush on Stan as well.
+ Werewolf AU. Richie as a terrified werewolf scared Stan will reject him because Stan is bad with things out of the norm. Or Stan as a reluctant werewolf, nervous his best friend will reject him.
+ Stan takes Richie bird watching. It’s surprisingly peaceful.
+ Friends with benefits situation. I kinda love the thought of Richie and Stan striking up some friends with benefits relationship that spirals into something more, or combusts from all the feelings they catch, or maybe works out exactly as planned. I like Richie thinking if Stan likes boys, and he likes boys too, maybe they could like boys together, since they can’t date anyone else? In general, I love young teen romance and sexually experimenting with each other and thinking they have no other outlet.
+ Going off that--Stan spanking Richie. Or Stan domming Richie in any way.
+ Richie mourning Stan. Post film, Richie going to visit his wife to learn who Stan grew up to be.
+ Ghost Stan haunting Richie. Richie having visions of Stan and not sure what it means. Any all spooky post Stan’s death fic with Stan still hanging around in some capacity.
PART TWO - OLDER ADULTS
+ My needs are very simple; I really want Derry mom affair fic. Andrea and Maggie meeting and maybe both of them are very different women—-Andrea more traditional, Maggie more hippie or free-spirited—-and unexpectedly hit it off. Maybe Maggie tries to seduce Andrea, or maybe Andrea develops feelings she doesn’t fully understand.
+ Andrea, dissatisfied with her husband (or maybe even a secret lesbian), tries a secret relationship with Maggie Tozier.
+ Maggie and Andrea having wine together or planning a book club or party and end up making out. Maybe both of them bringing Richie or Stan over to each other’s house for a play date and end up using the time to fool around.
+ Maybe Maggie doesn’t see it as cheating. Maybe she tells Andrea that it’s okay because they’re both women that to justify it.
+ Or maybe Maggie and Wentworth are in an open relationship and both of them are allowed to cheat on each other with a same sex partner.
+ I am happy with something more one-sided! Maybe Andrea develops a crush on Maggie and doesn’t know how to process that or what to do with those feelings, given she’s married to a man, and she never makes a move but she pines a lot.
+ If you’d like to go to a Wentworth/Maggie/Andrea place, I’d love that.
+ Stanley, or Richie, or both of them find out.
+ I really love the thought of the three of them falling into a threesome together, especially if Maggie and Wentworth team up to seduce Frank Kaspbrak. This can be pre-Sonia, or they could be having an affair. I like both the thought of Frank having a wild past with the Toziers, who he didn’t realize were a pair of swingers, or Frank feeling suffocated by his relationship with Sonia and letting Maggie and Wentworth seduce him because of it.
+ I also adore the thought of these three growing up in Derry together--not a generation xerox situation, with all of them as childhood best friends like the losers (though I am happy to read that version of events as well) but they know each other because it’s such a small town and start to come together as teenagers or young adults. Maybe Frank dated Maggie first? Or maybe Frank and Wentworth have a relationship on the downlow together? Maybe even while Wentworth is dating Maggie. Somehow this eventually leads to a threesome together.
+ The thought of either of the men as a Vietnam vet is fascinating to me and I’d love that worked in some way. I especially love if maybe Wentworth goes to war and Frank stays behind (who didn’t get drafted due to health issues), promising to take care of Maggie and they end up having an affair. Wentworth turns out not to mind (especially if he and Frank were also fooling around).
+ My ideal dream fic is a fic where Sonia dies relatively young for reasons, and Frank needs help raising Eddie, so Maggie and Wentworth help a lot, until they become like second parents to Eddie as well. Maybe Frank eventually moves in with them, or stays over so often he may as well be moving in. Eddie and Richie grow up together, while Frank slowly gets involved in a throuple relationship with Maggie and Wentworth
+ For something much darker, I like the thought of Frank and Maggie, or Frank & Wentworth being siblings together, and sharing a partner together. Especially if they want to stay in each other’s lives, so Frank/Maggie can’t be together openly but if Maggie marries Wentworth, they can keep being in each other’s lives. Or Wentworth and Frank are siblings and Wentworth marries Maggie but drags his brother around everywhere.
+ The only thing I don’t want is bad dad Wentworth. He can be distant or not around, or disconnected from Richie but I don’t want him to be abusive or hateful towards him. Background Reddie or the parents low key supporting Reddie is encouraged!
+ If you want to write something without Maggie involved, I like the thought of Frank and Wentworth having a romantic and/or sexual relationship together before either man got married. Maybe they were childhood friends, or high school buddies who started fooling around, or maybe queer men in Derry were so rare that they ended up having casual sex together that turns into more.
+ Frank/Wentworth dating in secret, and having to stop when Wentworth gets married to Maggie, and just the angsty fall out of that (I like affairs, open relationships and poly though so if you want to lean into those things, feel free).
+ AU where Frank and Wentworth end up raising Eddie and Richie together. Perhaps Maggie and Wentworth divorced, perhaps Sonia died young, perhaps Maggie and Sonia both died...whichever way you make it happen, I’d like for Wentworth and Frank to be bereft and mourning and struggling to raise a kid on their own, so they combine forces...maybe even move in together. I’d like it if they didn’t have any romantic feelings for each other at first, but end up developing a relationship together, while presenting to the world as bachelors or widowers. I love the thought of Eddie and Richie being raised by two dads, who aren’t telling anyone they’re together, but maybe they end up with a healthier view of m/m relationships together.
PART THREE - DARKER SHIPS
+ Backstory! I am really curious how they came together. Did they grow up together? Were they always aware of each other throughout their lives ? How does Henry’s status as the Sheriff’s son affect their relationship? Did they decide to form their gang together first?
+ I loved the scene with Patrick getting Henry off in the book and I want more of that? More of like, Patrick offering blowjobs and handjobs and Henry convincing himself this isn’t GAY, Patrick is just weird, he’s not GAY. I especially want Patrick’s perspective on this and how he feels being seen as lesser than Henry, but still wanting to get him off.
+ Patirck gets tired and fed up of Henry’s internalized homophobia and dubcons him into enjoying sex with him, whether it’s with alcohol or drugs to make him more pliant, or just sitting on his cock until he responds positively. Patrick getting Henry hard and riding his cock, even while Henry protests, or Patrick trying to show Henry it’s okay to be gay, by fingering him until he comes even while he’s protesting. It’s okay if this leans more on the noncon side of dubcon, as long as Henry gets off. I would basically like to see Patrick frustrated for being a dirty little secret, but also genuinely wanna help Henry be more like him, but because he’s Patrick, he doesn’t know how to do anything in a genuinely functional way.
+ Hurt/comfort after Henry’s dad beats him. Patrick stitching up the wounds or tending to them. Patrick being comforting but creepy, like telling him he should kill his dad and it’s totally easy, don’t worry, Henry.
+ Alternatively, they kill Butch Bowers together.
+ Henry hallucinates Patrick while in Juniper Hill. Maybe sexy hallucinations, maybe creepy ones, or both. Henry constantly talking to Patrick long after Patrick’s death.
+ Zombie Patrick blowing Henry in IT Chapter 2. Like old times, even though his mouth isn’t very warm anymore.
+ I really like Connor having a sibling like relationship with Henry, hero worshipping him while Henry sincerely wants to do right by Connor, but Patrick is there to ruin everything. By ruin everything, that’s up to you--maybe he tries to trick either of them into a threesome with him, maybe he convinces Henry they should have a threesome with Connor, maybe Patrick takes Connor under his wing instead and coerces/grooms/tricks him into a threesome with his cousin. Henry could be horrified by it but go along with it because he thinks that’s what Connor wants, or maybe Patrick convinces him for real they should fuck Connor together, whether Connor wants to or not. Basically dubcon verging on noncon creepy seduction on Patrick’s behalf.
+ I like the thought of Connor wanting to be in the Bowers gang, and Patrick and Henry testing him in increasingly boundary crossing and sexually charged way, to initiate him. I would like if these “tests” are just excuses for porn but also if Patrick legit tries to teach Connor how to fight and hurt people, and then decides he and Henry should reward him with sex for a job well done.
+ Connor with a crush on both of them.
+ Connor walking in on Patrick/Henry and Patrick deciding to drag Connor into their relationship. Maybe even framing it as providing sex lessons for Connor.
+ Patrick catching Connor/Henry together instead; maybe he does something to involve himself, just watches or records them in some way.
+ I really like ships between a bully mean girl and the girl she’s bullying. I love that push pull dynamic and I love it when the antagonism turns into sexual tension or sexual bullying, and I especially like it when the bully’s victim turns the tables and gets the upper hand in some way. So all of that is a lot of ways to say, I’d love for Gretta to continue to bully Beverly and for Beverly to snap and explode and fight Gretta and this lead to really rough hate sex.
+ Gretta bullies Beverly because she has a crush on her and hates that about her. Beverly realizes this and does something about it.
+ But also Gretta bullies Beverly because she thinks Beverly fucked Bowers (or any guy Gretta likes) and she’s angry at her for that...this turns into angry hatesex in the girl’s bathroom.
+ Beverly getting the upper hand and turning the tables on Gretta, pinning her down, shoving her, being violent in a way Gretta isnt used to, and realizing she’s turned on by her. Things escalate.
+ Later in high school, Gretta no longer bullies Beverly but they both have an arrangement for angry rough hate sex. I’d like it if this turned into both of them developing real, soft feelings for each other but ruining their relationship regardless because neither of them know how to manage those feelings or how to cope with them in a healthy way.
+ Beverly/Gretta, years later--whether that’s in high school or post leaving Derry. Maybe an AU where Beverly never leaves Derry--perhaps she’s the lighthouse keeper in this verse?---and she and Gretta end up legit getting together.
+ I like the thought of them recoling, post Derry, maybe post Chapter Two but also of Gretta never repenting and continuing to be terrible, because Derry.
Eddie Kaspbrak/Patrick Hockstetter
Patrick Hockstetter/Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier
Some of these prompts could work for all ships, so if you want to write a Patrick/Eddie scenario I prompted for Richie/Patrick or the other way around, go ahead. If you combine prompts, that’s also great.
In re: to my usual noncon DNW (that I removed, mainly for these prompts, though not specifically limited to just these ships), I really just want to state that I don’t want violent noncon (with the person being raped screaming and crying, in a lot of pain, and not orgasming), but I LOVE coercion, blackmail, the person being nonconned feeling like they have no choice, feeling violated and disgusted, or frog boiling situation where someone gets in way too deep over their heads and can’t back out as the aggressor escalates. I love the psychological mind fuck of not wanting sex with this person but their bodies are aroused or they orgasm anyway. I love exploring those issues and the shame and guilt that comes with that. I also love “would have consented but not like this” situations especially for these ships, with Eddie and Richie attracted to Patrick but being more scared of him than anything else.
And of course, I am really here for more dubious or even fully consensual take on these ships. I’d love to read about either Richie or Eddie consensually hooking up with Patrick, and it being a terrible idea in many other ways! I mainly want lots of Patrick fucking around with Reddie and messing with them, however that turns out.:
+ Patrick as Richie’s bad first queer experience. Patrick as Eddie’s first bad queer experience. Richie trying to have gay sex or gay sex experiences, and only Patrick is available (as far as he knows). Richie enjoying it but feeling like a monster, sick and wrong, for it. Patrick rubbing it in his nose, calling him a cocksucker and verbally humiliating him, and making his insecurities worse. Patrick forcing Richie to mastrubate for him.
+ Patrick taking advantage of Richie’s internalized homophobia to blackmail him into an on going sexual relationship.
+ Patrick picks up on Richie being gay, and propositions Richie for sex, reasoning to Richie that he may as well lose his virginity sometime and he’s the only other person into dudes Richie knows. Maybe Richie is young enough that it’s more terrifying than appealing, or Patrick propositions him while dangling a knife in his face. He can be angry right there, full of terror, or he runs away from Patrick, but the idea sticks in the back of his head and he keeps thinking about it.
+ Patrick and Richie have an arrangement where they meet up every now and then for enemies with benefits sex. Patrick is good at getting Richie off, but also demands a lot in return (weird positions, humiliating dirty talk, demands to take naked photos of Richie, uses his knife on him, etc.) that Richie isn’t entirely comfortable with (but he still comes for it). Definitely lean into rough, painful or dangerous sex as a form of self-harm.
+ Patrick, after the loss of his friends, wants a new gang, and decides to latch on to Richie and take him under his wing, whether Richie likes it or not. I would love Patrick honestly not understanding why Richie is so freaked out by him, and Patrick thinking Richie should be grateful he wants to teach him things—-useful things, violent things, and sexual things. I also want this with Patrick/Eddie and would love this for Patrick/Richie/Eddie as well. In general, I love the thought of Patrick surviving but missing his gang, and trying to remake a new sort of gang with Richie and Eddie (much to their terror).
+ Richie getting drunk to lose his virginity to Patrick. Richie thinking or knowing he’s not gonna like it so he gets himself intoxicated so he can disconnect from it.
+ I would like teen Eddie seeking out Patrick for rough/dangerous/violent sex, partly because he heard Patrick can provide, and partly because he wants to prove he can handle it and he’s not delicate. Eddie discovering he’s way kinkier than he imagined. Eddie trying to rebel and not be his mommy’s little boy anymore. Eddie comparing his mom and Patrick to each other, and deciding that as scary as Patrick is, he prefers him to his mom.
+ In general, Patrick teasing Eddie, calling him a baby and treating him like one, making Eddie eager to show him that he’s not a child. Obviously this leads to really ill-advised sex. .
+ Really anything with Eddie, desperate to prove he’s brave and not delicate, and letting Patrick do things to him because of that. Patrick breaking into Eddie’s room at night to fuck him, telling him he can scream and call his mom if he wants him to stop, and Eddie...doesn’t want to involve Sonia, so he lets Patrick have his way with him.
+ Eddie gets left alone in Derry after all of his friends go to college, having to take care of his sick mother...except Patrick is still alive and kicking for some reason. I would love them to end up in a toxic, fucked up sexually charged relationship because Eddie is so desperately lonely and Patrick ending up attached to him on some level.
+ Werewolf au, vampire au, serial killer au! I promise I don’t think of all of these as the same, but I really want some AU where Patrick is a monster and takes either Richie or Eddie or both under his wing. I love the thought of serial killer lessons, or turning them both into vampires and teaching them how to hunt and kill. Patrick trying to remake a wolf pack with Richie and Eddie.
+ Sex pollen! It could be a more grounded depiction, a designer drug that Patrick got his hands on, or maybe Derry has actual sex pollen growing in the barrens. I love the thought of Patrick throwing sex pollen on Richie or Eddie to make them more pliant or uncontrollably horny so they need HIM to get off and feel better. Or they both (or all) get drugged against their will and have to ride it out together. Or Patrick drugs Richie and Eddie together and gets more than he bargained for when they overwhelm him sexually. I love Patrick getting a taste of his own medicine.
+ AU where Eddie runs away from home and becomes an underage street sex worker, and runs into...Patrick. I love both the thought of Patrick being a client who will pay a lot for intense stuff, but also the thought of Patrick taking under his wing, and offering to protect him, in exchange for favors (sexual favors). Or Patrick as Eddie’s pimp, or at least, Eddie’s sex worker mentor, who is very hands on and demands a lot and insists on making sure he’s ready for the big leagues by testing him out.
+ Patrick makes Richie and Eddie fuck or die. Maybe he threatens to out one of them if they don’t perform for him? Maybe he’s been fucking Richie and learned Richie has a crush on Eddie, so he drags Eddie in their arrangement to make Richie fuck his crush already. Maybe Patrick knows about Richie’s crush on Eddie and agrees to help them get together but once they do, Patrick insists Richie share with him, as payment.
+ Patrick being both Eddie and Richie’s bad touch booty call they’re both into and disgusted by, but not knowing the other is also sleeping with Patrick, and Patrick taking full advantage of that situation, playing them off each other. Or something a lot darker, Eddie or Richie volunteering to be raped to spare the other; Patrick threatening one of them with something worse so Eddie and Richie volunteer to let Patrick fuck them in front of the other to spare their friend. One of them holding the other while Patrick noncons them is great.
+ Patrick filming Reddie sex, with or without their knoweldge. If he’s doing it with their knowledge, I’d love for him to be directing and telling them what to do and how to fuck each other, and maybe getting involved in later. Patrick making his own jerk off videos of them. Patrick taking sexy polaroid photos of them, either individually, or together, and using it as blackmail for more.
+ Something with the handjob scene between Henry and Patrick from the book, only make Richie be the one watching, or Eddie, or both of them. I’d be happy with just voyeurism (if both Richie and Eddie are watching, maybe they get really turned on and get off to it), or Patrick noticing he’s being watched, and it leading to another sexual encounter between the three of them. I would not be opposed to Richie and Eddie being caught, and being forced to fuck or die for them, with Henry involved as well.
