orOne very hot year in the life of two idiots in love, working shit out.
Reactions and Reviews
the author’s Meticulous with a capital M. one of my favorite characterizations of richie! and the love confessions are lovely!![1]
From the summary and the tags I had assumed this was just very long-form porn (which would be cool too!), but it’s actually like 1/5th porn and the rest is really gorgeous prose and relationship development (the pseudo-valentines day date is soooo cute). It also made me want to never go to California ever. Highly recommend.[2]
This fic got me into the IT-fic world, my favorite characterizations. Love![3]
As always, I’m the last one to get to the good fics, but for those who haven’t checked this one out yet: do it! The writing is lovely, the dynamic between Eddie and Richie is excellent and @skinks has a real talent for writing laughter during sex scenes - something there isn’t nearly enough of in this fandom. It’s wonderfully smutty and joyful[4]
i think every single person in the it fandom adores this fic like i do but it really is absolutely stunning. visceral, sensual and hits so many perfect beats. a masterpiece[5]
This is exactly the type of fic I want to read, especially in the summer to set the mood—it’s horny AND it’s tender, which is my favorite combo. The heat wave is such a good backdrop, the writing is excellent, and I love how even though Richie and Eddie are very in character, they’re also allowed to grow so much throughout the story.[6]
