Dear IT Rare Pairs Secret Santa,
Thank you so much for writing for me! I am very excited to get any sort of seasonal-inspired fic for my rare pairs! But don't be intimidated, I am fairly easy to please and would be happy with most anything.
My letters are usually fairly long and detailed, as I hope to cover enough ground to give you as much info in case you are not sure of what to write, but feel free to ignore most of this letter but the DNWs if something sparks you that’s not completely like what I prompted. I just want you to feel inspired and comfortable! See this as an overall rule that if none of my prompts work for you, I'd be happy to see any interpretation of my likes!
I've broken the beginning down into categories, including things I like for a general vibe of what I am into, to give you a good foundation of what I might be into. I am not expecting anything elaborate or plot-driven, but please feel free to do so if your heart desires!
I mostly use this journal as a private place to post thoughts I’m not comfortable posting on my tumblr, which is where I mostly hang out, making graphics and reblogging things—if you choose to visit, it’s good place to snoop to get a glimpse at what I like.

I love when a character is willing to literally let the world burn, should the world try to come between them and the person they love, choosing their partner above anyone else, them-against-the-world dynamics.
☾ Psychological mind games between the “bad guys” and the “good guys,” power play, power struggle, trying to manipulate one another. Dark seductions, characters coming to terms with a darker side to themselves, finding commonalities and camaraderie with the wrong person. Stories of conflicted loyalties, abuse of loyalties, loyalty leading people into really bad decisionmaking.
☾ Two-halves-of-a-whole-person type of relationships are my weakness, dynamics where the other can’t function without the other and opt for self-destruction in the face of separation. Dynamics where they are equally obsessive and fucked up, and extremely invested in their relationship, twisted and frightening utter devotion.

Reveling in their similarities, getting off on being related, on sharing blood. Forbidden sexual desires, wanting things they shouldn’t, romanticization of their desire. Guilt for their desires eating them from the inside out, wanting desperately and hating themselves for it, or torturing themselves for wanting it. But giving in anyway.
☾ Being caught in an incestuous relationship—whether by other family members, or close friends—and the fallout of that, the shame after being discovered. Staying together despite people knowing, open secret incest, or simply being open about their relationship. Living as a married couple, normalcy in spite of the circumstances, or because of it.

SMUT & KINK LIKES
☆ Trust! I have a huuuge trust kink that can usually make most kinks work if the basis comes from how intensely two characters trust each other and their willingness to give themselves to the other person in every way, and vice versa.
☆ Any sort of overwhelming “I never thought I’d have this and now that I do, I don’t even know where to start” feelings.
☆ 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.
☆ Inexperience, awkwardness due to lack of knowing what to do, fumbling and messy, imperfect sex. Characters discovering kinks for the first time. I love anything that focuses on sexuality exploration and experimentation, and first times. Budding feelings, insecurities, gay teens feeling different and cut off from their peers, haywire hormones, accidental stimulation leading to arousal.
☆ Any sex where emotions are mixed, or difficult to acknowledge, or emotionally hurtful to acknowledge, sex that doesn't heal anybody's deep emotional wounds, moody messy melancholy.
☆ Hurt/Comfort sex, grief processing sex, any sort of sex that tries to dull the ache of something psychologically traumatizing.
☆ Messy, badly-negotiated (or unnegotiated) sexual desires. Characters signalling to their partner that they’re in a kinky mood vaguely or through actions (acting out for attention, behaving in a certain way, etc.). Boundary pushing, unaware of limits until limit is hit and still pressing forward, under-negotiated consent. Lack of communication, characters accidentally hurting each other or themselves.
☆ Powerplay and D/s, service kink and getting off on giving pleasure rather than receiving. I prefer more casual setups without much negotiation or discussion where one character gets off on being pushed around, getting told what to do, or do service-y things for the other, and the partner gets off on doing the pushing around and they all lean into that.
☆ As much as I love powerplay, I love it more when it includes switching or no set sexual “roles,” i.e. topping from the bottom, doms who like to be penetrated, dominance struggles, bossy subs, antagonism to push their partner around. Anything that explores a struggle for control.
☆ Roleplay and exploring fantasies.
☆ Dirty talk! Anything from the sweet and intense to extremely explicit and filthy. Getting a partner to talk about what they’re into during sex even if they’re embarrassed about it. Making a partner beg and voice what they want. Talking during sex to make the partner flustered, talking to orgasm, using pet names. Poking at hot buttons that tread the line of humiliation, talking about areas of shame in sexual desires.
☆ Praise kink! I love it when a character is lovingly taken apart by telling them how good they are or were. On the flipside, condescending praise from aggressors.
☆ Vocal sex, loud sex, unable to keep quiet. Partner kinking on moans, whimpering, mewling, whining. Vocal displays of losing control.
☆ Any sort of bondage—ropes, scarves, handcuffs, belts. I love characters being physically restrained so they can't move no matter how much they struggle, but also bondage that is about the character having to behave and stay still, without the use of restraints or flimsy restraints. Being held down and pinned at the wrists.
☆ Sex toys, used either solo or in partnered sex. Any sort of dildos, plugs, vibrators. Sex toys worn clothes and in public, remote controlled vibrators where one character has the remote.
☆ 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.
☆ Angry sex, fighting-that-leads-to-sex, heat-of-the-battle sex.. Ill-advised sex in lieu of working out issues between characters, taking out issues on partner during sex, frantic, make up sex.
☆ Mild objectification, whether it’s fully consensual or under-negotiated boundary-pushing leading to objectifying dirty talk about ‘using’ a partner for sex. Maybe actually following through with it. Casual groping, ass-slapping, rubbing up against a partner when they aren’t expecting it, grabbing them in public and feeling them up.
☆ All body worship and teasing. Kissing all over the body, exploring all parts of a partner, finding erogenous zones, kissing in unusual places. Edging, orgasm control, sensory overload, overwhelming sex. Overstimulation, being touched immediately after orgasm. Begging to come, multiple orgasms, crying during sex, kissing away or licking up the tears.
☆ Any sort of grooming or bathing as foreplay that leads to sex, or sex in the bath and/or shower. Joining partner in the shower to distract them from morning routine with sex. Cleaning up after sex, taking care of partner and being careful around bruises and marks.
☆ Voyeurism, either accidental or intentional. Inviting someone to watch, or fucking for the entertainment of a third party. Phone sex, sexting, dirty long-distance communication. Sending nudes and explicit videos. Masturbating as a show for a partner, partner giving instructions. Long-distance intimacy. Creating porn as a gift for a partner.
☆ Public sex or semi-public sex. Touching a partner under a table, giving oral sex in a movie theater or sex in a public bathroom. Sex outdoors, in parks, in a graveyard. Any form of car sex, inside or on top of a car. Road head. Sex in other places than a bed: on tables, against walls, on the floor, on a chair, in the shower.
☆ Characters who kink on violence and danger. Arousal from killing or watching someone get hurt. Attracted to dangerous people, i.e. serial killers or monsters. Knowing their partner could kill them or hurt them and getting off on it. Being the leash holder of a monster. Fearplay and desire to be “hunted” and taken. Extreme kinks like gunplay, knifeplay, breathplay, etc. Put on display for others, exhibitionism.
☆ I love blood kink and bloodplay! Vampires biting and feeding, menstrual sex, or combined with knifeplay where cutting a partner and making them bleed is part of the sex act. I also like accidental bleeding, as in too rough penetrative sex or biting too hard and breaking skin, or getting aroused by nosebleeds and accidental cuts.
☆ Scar kink, scar worship. Kissing, licking, or sucking on scars. Scarification as ownership or a sign of devotion. Matching scars, important scars. Branding.
☆ Any displays of jealousy and possessiveness, including PDA and grabbing a partner in public. Leaving hickeys and bite marks in visible places. Scratches and other forms of marking.
☆ Feral or animalistic behavior, especially re: monsters or werewolves. Xenophilia, monster fucking, kinking on partner’s inhuman features, sex with partner while transformed, i.e. sex with werewolf partner’s wolf form. Sensation play with a partner's inhuman outer appearance, like getting off on a scaled body or feeling fur against skin.
☆ Scent kink, breathing in partner’s skin, liking partner’s sweat and body odor. Smelling areas where scent is particularly strong, like armpits or groin. Smelling their hair.
☆ Hand kink, palm and fingers kissing. Finger sucking. Obsessed with what a partner's hands can do.
☆ Oral fixation in general, kinking on smoking and shotgunning, getting turned on by partner licking a popsicle or lollipop.
☆ Any and all forms of oral sex. Deepthroating, choking, coming in partner’s mouth. Vaginal fingering during cunnilingus. Tongue-fucking. Ball licking, sucking. Getting hair pulled while giving oral, recipient pushing giver’s head down and holding it there. Character getting aroused while giving oral and getting off during, either by masturbating, or grinding/rubbing off on partner’s leg. Body worship when giving oral, kissing and nuzzling into a partner's thighs, sucking and biting the skin, leaving marks. Face-sitting, enthusiastically grinding on partner's face, lazy and slow 69-ing. Rimming, kissing after oral sex—totally cool with ass-to-mouth.
☆ Stuffing someone's mouth with fingers or objects. Gagging. Hands over mouth. Trying to stay quiet during sex (and maybe failing). Biting lips, biting down on partner’s shoulder. Kissing to keep noisy partner quiet.
☆ Coming untouched.
☆ Non-penetrative sex: dry-humping, frottage, coming in pants. Intercrural in exchange for penetration, fucking partner’s thighs when they’re bent over or pressed face-first into a wall, coming on thighs.Touching a partner over their clothes or under the table. I like lazy, slow, sleepy, familiar sex where all parties are happy and don’t need anything fancy to make it good. I also like non-penetrative sex framed in a way that’s about the characters being too desperate or too impatient to do anything else, or are young and too inexperienced that any sort of contact gets them off.
☆ Penetration: hole stretching, hole training. Fingering, coming from just fingering. Sloppy lubrication, messy penetrative sex, double-penetration in one hole or in vagina and ass, multiple penetration and spitroasting. Sloppy hole after gangbang.
☆ Come play. Facials. Coming on someone's body. Coming inside. Licking come out of partner or licking another person’s come out of partner. Sex after excercising or sex after getting physically filthy and not caring. Putting a butt plug inside of partner to keep come inside. Messy, filthy sex in general, especially if the characters kink on that.
☆ Size differences, contrasting bodies, kinking on body differences. Size kink.
☆ 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. Intentionally drugging self in order to have a partner use their body to get off while they’re unconscious. Giving permission to use their body to get off when asleep.
☆ Drunk or high sex! I love the emotionally messy, dubcon-y, bad idea kind where one character is sober and unsure if they should do this when the intoxicated character comes onto them (especially if there’s pining involved) kind, or the mutually, sloppily affectionate consensual kind.
☆ Clothing kink! For example: a focus on suits, uniforms, gloves, boots, lingerie, etc. in a sexual context. Partially-clothed or mostly-clothed sex, naked/clothed, dressing and undressing, neat characters being disheveled for once; casual characters cleaning up nicely, clothes-sharing, choosing clothes for the other person as kink/foreplay. Crossdressing, either men in lingerie or women in suits. Getting off to smelling someone’s clothes or used underwear. Using clothes to tie someone up, or using underwear as a gag. Cutting clothes or ripping clothes off.
☆ Competence kink and intelligence kink, characters kinking on the skills set of another, i.e. Seth’s admiration/fixation on Richie cracking safes, characters admiring the strengths of the other.
☆ Adaptive sex due to injury or disability. Figuring out how to get a partner off in different ways, evolving sexual dynamics due to great upheavals and trauma. Rape recovery and working through contact and intimacy issues.
☆ Anything paired with tenderness, both for sweet sex and especially with rough, fucked up sex: hand-holding, forehead touching, forehead/face kisses, snuggling and cuddling, nuzzling, hugs from behind, neck kisses. Lots of kissing in general is lovely. Long, slow making out as foreplay. Nuzzling into someone’s palm or neck. I love the “we like each other so much that we can’t stop touching each other in any way” trope a lot.
☆ Making breakfast the morning after. Morning afters, in general. Aftercare. Sleep related things in general: comfort after a nightmare, falling asleep together, one character watching the other sleep. Characters that feel safe and cherished by others. Simple casual intimacy is fantastic and very much appreciated.

⛄ Winter activities: snowball fights, building snowmen, making snow angels, ice skating, skiing, staying indoors by a fire, watching the snow fall, blizzards and storms, going sledding, going on a sleigh ride, driving around or walking around the neighborhood to take in the light displays, escaping to a cabin in the woods.
🎄 Holiday Angst. Unhappy memories and bad associations with the holidays. Characters not liking the holiday season due to past trauma or family history. The negative side of the holidays, being a “Grinch,” not knowing how to capture the holiday spirit. Characters learning to make their own traditions and working through their issues, their significant other helping them to create better memories and associations. Raising their own children and how they deal with their trauma.
⛄ Seasonal Foods and tastes. Home cooked dinners, comfort foods, gingerbread and peppermint and cranberry. Cooking together, teaching each other their favorite meals, drinking spiked eggnog and mulled wine and hot chocolate. Having Chinese food on Christmas or New Year’s Eve. Baking together, making a gingerbread house together, enjoying candy canes.
🎄 Preparing for the Holidays: decorating, picking out a tree, gift shopping, putting up the tree and decorating it. Planning events and gatherings, figuring out where they’re spending the holidays and who with. Arranging time off, spending time with loved ones. Choosing an angel or a star to top the tree. Unboxing heirloom ornaments or ornaments that have a significant meaning.
⛄ Holiday firsts and childhood memories & nostalgia. Snow days, winter dances or formals, still believing in Santa Claus and how they stopped, making snow forts and coming inside only when lips are blue and limbs feel like ice. The excitement of Christmas morning, or the relief at the winter break from school.
🎄 Holiday and seasonal imagery: ugly christmas sweaters, cozy pajamas, thick socks, thermal underwear, boots and warm coats and mittens and scarves, wreaths and holly, stockings on the mantle, warm fires, cuddling under a blanket, cold mornings and not wanting to leave the warmth of your bed, the contrast of warm bright holiday colors with the bitter dark blues of the exterior world, hot breath in breezing air, icicles and frozen streets, dark skies with bright stars offset by lit and adorned houses.
⛄ Alternative Holiday things, like holiday-themed horror movies and winter ghost stories. Creepier side of Christmas and winter. Darker, moodier atmosphere and focus on the desolate, cold and dead landscape. Haunting emotions, a lingering sense of dread. The horrific side of winter and the holidays.
🎄 Tropes around the season: huddling for warmth, kissing under the mistletoe, office parties, attending fancy holiday parties together so they won’t have to go alone, secret santa and white elephant, trying to learn how to ice skate and needing to be held by the hand, getting hypothermia and needing to be warmed up by someone else’s body heat, getting snowed in or trapped by a blizzard, trapped in a broken down car in the middle of a snow storm, falling in a snow bank and making out, sex by a fire place, sex to keep warm, sex by or under a Christmas tree, kissing at midnight on New Year’s Eve, first holidays as a couple, proposing as a holiday surprise, spending holidays with new significant other’s family.

↳ DNWs: I prefer not to read about excessive abuse, but I understand it’s inclusion if necessary to the story. I like reading about the aftereffects of abuse, of trauma, but sometimes the actual abuse can be a bit much, so I’d prefer more implications and reference over on-screen abuse.
Caveat: this is waived for any dubcon or noncon-heavy ships and prompts, such as things involving my parent/child requests, or Patrick Hockstetter, who is his own warning.
Mentally ill or neurotypical or disabled characters treated as a burden or better off dead or elsewhere—it’s fine if they're experiencing ableism from outside sources, but I don't want the whole fic to be about that.
Misogynistic/whorephobic dirty talk i.e. bitch, whore, etc. This DNW is waived for characters like Henry Bowers or Patrick Hockstetter, who would use those words. I prefer praise kink and humiliation-esque words like slut, cock slut, and cocksucker more.
Unrequested feminization of male character. I love characters exploring gender expression and crossdressing, but I don’t like male characters being referred to as “little girl,” or having their asshole referred to as a cunt or a pussy. Characters describing a male character’s features as “like a girl” is okay.
No deathfic unless the characters die or have died in canon, or a villain is being killed. Referring to the major character deaths that occur in canon and exploring those after effects is okay, but otherwise, I’d rather not read it. I don’t consider it deathfic if someone dies and then comes back in the same fic. Graphic depictions of child death, except for those embedded into the canon i.e. Georgie Denbrough’s death.
Graphic animal cruelty or death, especially done to cats; I’d especiall rather no pet death be included. This DNW is waived in the case of werewolf or vampire AUs where the monster hunts down woodland creatures as prey and eats them.
Extreme underage (12 years old and below). I do, however, like underage—both in the form of age gap pairings, and fumbling teenagers exploring their sexuality together.
Unrequested non-con (extreme dubious consent okay, or just regular dubious consent i.e. messy and fucked up stuff with one character taking advantage of the other, capital R "romantic" necrophilia, or “we all got drunk and had sex together, whoops”), violent rape, and unaroused or non-orgasming characters.
Themes and tropes to avoid: love triangles, completely unrequited love—pining and obliviousness are encouraged, unrequested non-canon pairings (background canon ships are fine), unrequested AUs.
Rigid top/bottom roles—focusing on only one person topping or bottoming for the duration of the fic is fine, this issue for me comes in where characters are defined by being a “bottom” or a “top,” leaving no room for potential switching.
My squicks are: watersports, scat, vomit, heavy or formalized D/s dynamics, exhaustive discussions of consent, humiliation (sexual & verbal humiliation is fine, but I have a strong sense of second hand embarrassment, so please no one going out of their way to embarrass or humiliate a character in another way, especially in public), bestiality (xenophilia in terms of sentient monsters, on the other hand, is encouraged), feeding kink, weight gain, forced feeding, forced dieting, sex-with-foods.

***NOTE: Given the formatting of these prompts, I may prompt only one configuration of Losers together, but unless the prompt is specifically about a situation with Eddie and/or Stan dead, feel free to amend it to OT5/OT6/OT7 as you see fit. Another note: I really love poly!Losers who are all in love with each other, and I ship ANY combination of them. If anything in the below list of prompts sparks something for any of the other Losers ships I requested, feel free to amend the prompt to fit the couple or moresome.
I want loving group sex orgies set after Stan's death, or prior to his death, or AUs where he doesn't die, or AUs where he and Eddie don't die. I’d love something about how the intensity of their connection blurs the line of friendship into something more indefinable. Stan (or Eddie, even) don’t have to be present. I’d be fine with OT6 or OT5 for canon based settings.
Sex pollen orgies! I kinda love the thought of Richie getting hit by sex pollen and the only one to do so, and all his friends have to fuck him. I love it especially for his internalized homophobia and his sheer terror at his friends knowing that he's gay and how he's being forced to express his desire openly and trying so hard not to, and everyone reassuring him it's okay. But any specific single character getting sex pollen’ed and all their friends having to fuck them would be great.
Or maybe everyone is sex pollen’ed! The orgy can be at the Orient itself, however inappropriate that would be—-maybe bystanders don’t see anything for the same reason why adults couldn’t see the blood in Beverly’s bathroom, or maybe they actually get thrown out for lewd behavior. Or maybe it doesn’t hit them until they arrive at the inn and they have an orgy in the living room area. You're welcome to lean into the more fucked up aspects of this! Maybe they all feel guilty afterwards, especially if Stan is there and he cheated on his wife. Maybe they're all sore and chafing and have trouble walking, maybe the loss of autonomy upsets characters like Beverly or Eddie and others. But I do want them to eventually be okay in this scenario.
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 Chüd requires group sex, or they defeat Pennywise by harnessing the power of love...via group sex.
Or! Mike suggests an orgy as a team building exercise, to help unlock their memories, or draw them closer together so they can better do the Ritual of CHUD. Or they can only defeat Pennywise by having an orgy first—maybe there’s a kind of sex magic they do to bind them all together or cast a protection spell over them, but they all need to bang each other for it to work.
Or maybe the ritual requires them to have sex for a certain length of time, and Mike provides them with an endurance supplement to keep them going. By the same token, drugged, vision quest surreal hazy orgy sex. Mike did not mean for this to happen but now everyone is climbing on top of him and grinding on him and making out with him and each other and he just has to wait for the drugs to run their course.
Or they have an orgy to bond them all closer together so they don't forget each other. Or instead of the sewers and the Neibolt house collapsing in them, they're trapped there and having sex together unlocks the way out. I would enjoy a fuck or die, or sex pollen esque scenario in the sewers, but honestly, I just want the Losers to tenderly, desperately, reaffirm their bond and how much they love each other with sex.
Post-film: they all get together once a year for an orgy to reestablish their bond. They are desperate not to forget each other again.
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 wouldn’t like this to replace the blood oath, so having them do both would be great. I don’t actually hate the book’s conceit of having a gangbang/orgy as a coming of age metaphor, I just wish it wasn't so hetero and they were older, so I invite you to write a similar concept with older teenage losers.
I’d love anything where one of the Losers thinks they’re plotting an orgy and seducing the others, but the others are seducing them in turn. It can be any one of the Losers, but I have a fondness for Bill trying to seduce all his friends and doesn’t realize they’re seducing him back.
Maybe it's prom night and Bill rents out a giant hotel room for them all to have an after party that turns into a drunken, giggling teenage orgy. Maybe they all agree to lose their virginity to each other and decide the best way is in a group situation. Maybe one of them is leaving and moving away—Bill or Ben or Beverly or any other loser—and they all get together for a last hurrah, last loser hang out that turns into group sex as everyone wants to say goodbye to each other.
NOTE: I know Beverly leaves first pretty much almost right away in canon, but I like to hand wave that and say her aunt moved to Derry, instead, or some other excuse, so I can have more Beverly and the rest of the Losers time.
In terms of Beverly, I really like the whole town thinking Beverly is a slut and accusing her of sleeping with all of her male friends, including her father, so she decides to own it and lose her virginity to them. She may as well do the thing everyone accuses her of, and get something out of it. I would love for Beverly to think she’s just going to be used for sex and not expecting much—-not that the boys would treat her badly, but maybe she didn’t think sex would be all that great for a girl—and then all the boys overwhelm her with love and orgasms and she cries a little.
The Losers being extremely codependent teenagers and the OPOV of how tight-knit they are. Maybe rumors about Beverly and her six boyfriends. Silly teenage games like spin the bottle, or truth or dare, or seven minutes in heaven that they play together as a joke, but turns serious and into something more. Childhood hijinks. Teenage dirtbags, and hazy adolescent summer memories. High school together. Horrible, bittersweet nostalgia.
I’d love anything regarding their post-Pennywise trauma and the hurt/comfort of it all. I honestly just want a big Losers group cuddle pile.
Anything that fills in the gaps between the first movie and the second movie. Adulthood, college, high school years. At what point did they all lose touch with each other? How long did it take for them to lose their memories of each other? Did something ever remind them of each other even while they were out living their adult lives? Bev catches Richie's stand up on a Netflix special? Eddie picks up a copy of Bill's book and has some half vague memory of him he can't quite hold on to? I love the thought of all of them reading Bill's books, even though they don't even like horror. I want them constantly drawn to each other, but not knowing who they are to each other.
All of them intensely missing someone they can't remember. Like a part of them is missing and they can’t figure out why.
Post-second film (with Eddie and/or Stan alive, if you’d like) fic! I'd love to see all the Losers sort of intertwined in each other's lives going forward, like agreeing to meet up again annually, keeping in touch with one another, spending the holidays together. They have found their found family and they get to keep each other now. All the Losers keep in touch with one another, making sure they constantly meet up again, visiting each other yearly at various different points, sending gifts, skype chats, group chats. Just doing their best not to forget each other again. Them becoming each other’s family.
I’d love anything that explores how they all seem tied to each other and seem to be soulbonded somewhat. Maybe that is the result of the blood oath or the group sex? I’d love the thought of the blood oath causing a soulbond and now they can all feel each other’s pain, feelings, emotions, including sexual desire, lust and orgasms. Maybe this leads to telepathic sex of some kind—one of them masturbates, which means everyone else gets horny and they all start to masturbate. Or two of them have sex, which means they all get hit with the force of everyone’s psychic orgasm.
Riffing off this, Beverly gets her period, which ripples throughout all the other boys due to soulbond. Because everyone can now very much feel her pain, they all take turns eating her out, or at the very least, one of the losers eats her out to soothe both her pain and everyone else’s.
Dreamsharing! Going off the soulbond orgy idea, maybe they keep wandering into each other’s dreams and sometimes this leads to weird hazy dream sex with impossible feats. This would be especially cool if they were to leave Derry, but still see each other in their dreams and reunite in that shared dream space.
Or, on a darker level, they’re all stuck in a dark dreamscape that they need to work together to escape or at first, they don’t know they’re trapped because they’re all happy to be together. I’d also love it if they all experienced each other’s nightmares, like someone has a nightmare and the others experience it as well— or I’d love it if one of them doesn’t know they’re having a nightmare and the others have to help snap them out of it.
Having an orgy after they’re all soulbonded to just feel how intense it can get with the pleasure feedback loop due to the fact they can feel everyone else’s arousal and orgasm.
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.
I’d love anything that explores the Losers as a witch coven. I’m not really sure how this would go, but maybe a little bit of The Craft where they keep collecting members, or maybe something similar to The Covenant where each of the Losers comes from an old witch family. I’d love to see them come together and practice magic together!
Shapeshifters! This usually goes hand-in-hand with werewolves for me, but I’d love the Losers as a pack of different were-creatures, like werecats! Or maybe they each turn into different animals, or some can shapeshift their features to look like someone else.
Incubus AU! I just think this is neat. Please turn one of my faves into an incubus and not have them know they’re different as they’re weirdly hornier than they usually are. Incubus!Mike would be hot, as maybe a side effect of being in Derry too long. Or Eddie survives Neibolt, but doesn’t realize he’s turned into an incubus in the process. Succubus!Beverly is also a great idea and I think it’d be really interesting combined with her issues around sex. But feel free to make it any Loser.
And AU of The Old Guard is something I’ve wanted since I watched the movie. Usually I don’t want AUs where the Losers didn’t grow up together, but I’d be fascinated with them slowly finding each other throughout the centuries and being an ancient family of immortals with each other. But if you don’t want that exact mythology, I am mostly interested in them being immortals together and I love the body horror aspects of healing for horrific injuries instantly and still feeling that pain.
Vampire AUs make me so happy and I really want vampire Losers incestuous family orgy. Maybe one of them gets turned into a vampire as an adult and gets their memories back because of it, then tracks down the rest of the losers to turn them, too, and give them back their missing memories. Maybe they seduce the rest of their friends into being a vampire one by one, or as a group. Lean into all the bloodplay and sexy blood sharing. Or teenage vampire Losers deciding to live their best Lost Boys life.
I love the thought of them being vampires breaking down boundaries and barriers and taboos and everyone ends up low key attracted or into each other. They don't all need to have sex at the same time for this scenario, but maybe constantly bed hopping and sharing partners and extremely codependent with each other, all of them sleeping in a giant vampire nest/cuddle pile.
Or serial killers instead! Maybe the losers are a teenage gang of serial killers instead, maybe it’s a no Pennywise AU when the real horror is them, or maybe they became serial killers due to the influence of Derry. I would like all the bloodplay, knifeplay, dangerous risky sex and the Losers being codependently fixated on one another, and murdering for each other, especially if they leave each other dead bodies as gifts. Like the vampire AU prompt, they don’t need to all have sex at the same time, but I love this scenario for constant bed hopping, partner sharing, codependence between the seven of them. The odds of seven budding serial killers in the same town is so low so maybe they think the seven of them are destined to be together?
Maybe they grow up to be serial killers as adults, and realize this when they come back to each other again after 27 years. Finding each other again with the same hobbies is a relief and a comfort for them, but is bad for everyone else. Adult Losers planning serial killer weekend camping trips!
Evil Losers! Losers who were kidnapped and raised by Pennywise! Or Losers who are the bullies and the Bowers gang are the victims. Or Losers come face-to-face with their dark, mirrorselves and forced to confront the darkest parts of themselves.
Werewolf AU! Where the Losers are a wolf pack! I especially love tropey pair bonding and heat sex, or maybe full moon sex in this case. I would love to see anything where the Losers see themselves as pack and mates, and all of them get very horny pre-full moon and end up having sex. Or post-full moon sex in the wood. Or just sniffing or scratching or biting or scent-marking each other, or rutting against each other and humping each other. Lots of feral behavior. I don’t like Alpha/Omega dynamics and prefer werewolf packs to take after actual wolves with thinking of their pack as a family with no set hierarchy. Losers sleeping in giant wolfish cuddle piles!
I don’t usually request this, but I’d love an omegaverse AU for the Losers. I really don’t have a big preference for who are the alphas and omegas, I just love the thought of socially acceptable orgies for un-mated alphas and omegas and would love that for a losers-wide orgy. Maybe they all agree to fuck each other or be friends with benefits without actually being together or mating. Maybe the alphas in the group have to fuck the omegas every time a heat happens. Or maybe there is only one alpha, like Bill, and all the rest are un-mated omegas. Every heat, he has to fuck them all to help out. It’s exhausting.
Time Loops! I love the horrible implications of time loops! I’d love to see a Loser having to relive the events of Ch1 or Ch2 over and over again, each loop more horrific than the last. Or maybe they’re all looping together and have to figure out how to get out of the loop or stop it. Maybe each loop, a new one of them dies. Or maybe Pennywise has stuck them in a time loop to wear them down and make them unable to defeat IT.
Or similar to the time loop prompt, perhaps a Loser is trying to set the world to rights and is looking for a dimension where nothing bad happened, and they’re all happy and alive, but all they find is misery and despair, while they unravel their own timeline.
I’d also love the Losers thinking they’re all happy and safe and they made it—then the world starts to feel off, or like something is wrong and they’re worried it’s their paranoia. But they know they should trust their instincts.
The remaining Losers go into the Underworld, or the afterlife, or weird cosmic alt-world to get back Eddie and Stan. Whatever god or creature forces them to jump through hoops and undergo trials to get them back.
Or! ritualistic, creepy sex to bring back Eddie and/or Stan. Maybe the Losers have to do an orgy together to create intense life energy, or maybe they have to fuck their corpses, to bring their dead friends back to life. I really love having to keep having sex to keep alive i.e. having to have semi-regular orgies to keep Eddie and/or Stan alive, like once a month. Or having to regularly gangbang Eddie or Stan to keep them alive, as a stipulation of the ritual.
If Eddie and Stan come back wrong in some way, that's okay with me. I love the thought of them coming back as revenants, or some type of zombies that have to eat people to stay sane, or keep from rotting, and the Losers love them anyway. Maybe they keep providing people for them to eat. The losers loving their undead shambling friends regardless of how creepy and murderous they are is A+. Or maybe what’s off isn’t immediately apparent and more subtle. I’m not saying you should go full Pet Sematary, but I’d love it if bringing them back had major consequences.
Ghosts! Stan and Eddie as ghosts! I would also love ghost sex! Group sex and orgies with ghost!Stan and/or Eddie would be amazing and sad, and a little scary. This can be just sex for the sake of it, or sex with ghosts to bring them back to life for ritualistic purposes. Or maybe when they all get together, the ghosts of Eddie and Stan linger around them. Maybe they can see them, maybe they can touch them. But they all have to be together for it to work.
On that note, I’d also just love a post-apocalypse AU where only the Losers are left alive and have to take care of each other at the end of the world. Maybe it is literally just the Losers, and no one else in the world is alive, or maybe they only have each other and can’t find other survivors. This can be any kind of apocalypse—zombies, or environmental, or maybe by defeating Pennywise, they ended the world.

If Eddie Must be dead, I would very much like Ben and Beverly to take care of Richie. I would really love to see all three of them together in a Post-Chapter 2 world. Maybe Richie moves in with them and is crashing on Ben’s couch. Maybe they drag Richie on the boat trip. Maybe none of them want to be alone after everything. I thought the movie didn’t have enough time to show everyone mourn who they’ve lost, so I would love to see that in fic, with Ben and Richie and Bev all mourning Stan and Eddie.
They have a grief, but happy-to-be-alive threesome. I would love a threesome—maybe with Bev and Richie ganging up on Ben, or Richie, not really attracted to Beverly, but helping Ben, or something with Richie in the middle and Beverly holding him as Ben takes him apart and makes Richie cry. I see it as a mutual V-shaped thing, with both Ben/Richie and Bev/Ben coexisting together at once, while Richie loves Beverly in deep, indescribable ways. I would love it if it became a long term thing.
Honestly, just Beverly and Ben trying to help Richie move on and take care of himself, but also love all over him after he comes out. Or the same with Ben or Beverly at the center. Ben and Richie helping her move out and protecting her from Tom would be wonderful.
I really loved the fake out kiss between Bev and Richie in the movie (and Ben’s face!) and would like more of that, like the opposite of gay chicken. Hetero chicken. Post-Chapter 2 with Richie and Bev being more comfortable to fake out hetero things and Ben being pleasantly confused about it would be delightful.
One of my absolute favorite moments is Richie hugging both of them after Ben kisses Bev to get her out of the deadlights. The thought of Richie shipping them from that age is cute and I would just like to see more of them in a more teenaged, high school context.

↳ SHIP: Ben Hanscom/Eddie Kaspbrak/Beverley Marsh/Richie Tozier
I’d love to see domestic post-Chapter 2 poly-shipping things! Either established relationship or getting together fic. Maybe Ben/Beverly and Richie/Eddie have a foursome together, coming together as two couples. Or maybe none of them are together until they spend time together and that leads to a foursome. Richie trying to help Beverly and Ben get together, Ben trying to nudge Eddie and Richie together, all four of them coming together instead.
Ben invites both Richie and Eddie to his yacht with Beverly. The three of them have a very thank-god-we’re-alive-and-have-each-other type honeymoon phase.
Ben and Eddie work out together while Richie and Beverly watch. And get hot and bothered.
The three of them help Beverly move out.
Snowed in. Spending a week at Ben’s place. They all get a little too cozy with one another.
Any kind of body worship porn for any of them. Ben Hanscom love hours, when they make sure he knows how loved and appreciated he is. I was very into by how openly appreciative both Richie and Eddie were of Ben in the Jade of the Orient scene, and I really want more of that, but porny and with Beverly. Or the boys all gather around to get Beverly off and make her come over and over.
Or something with Eddie or Richie being shown how attractive they are to the other three, especially if one of them was insecure about it. I’m really especially Eddie feeling like there’s nothing hot about him and all his friends trying to show him that’s not true. I don’t really care how it happens—maybe a double date, maybe a birthday, maybe it’s shortly after canon or a few years later after constant four way flirting—but I want it.
I also love the thought of Richie and Eddie trying to seduce Ben together—only he got together with Beverly finally so they have to abort the plan, but Beverly finds out and wants in. Or Richie and Eddie help Beverly seduce Ben because Ben won’t make a move and this ends up with foursomes.
The four of them in a post apocalypse AU. Surviving together and gradually coming together in a four way couple way.
I’d also love to read something when they’re still teenagers. Maybe the four of them get snowed in somewhere on Christmas Eve. Maybe their families are gone so they spend Christmas together. Maybe Beverly runs away from Portland to see Ben and Richie and Eddie. I’d love an ill-advised foursome that’s loving nonetheless, especially if this is everyone’s first time, or sweetly developing a poly relationship together and not realizing. Maybe it’s a four way first time experimenting with each other.

Post-Chapter Two fic where Ben and Beverly don't get together (or haven't gotten together yet) and Ben goes to stay with established relationship Richie/Eddie, or Richie and Eddie visit him in his huge house. The three of them falling into a poly relationship together, or simply just a sexual one.
I’d love a fic that focuses on Richie and Eddie being very impressed with Ben, and both really wanting to fuck him, so they agree to seduce him together.
Teenage era shenanigans! Slowly, the three of them come together as a throuple. Or Richie and Eddie becoming a couple and both of them slowly seducing Ben into a relationship with them. Maybe Beverly has moved away by now and they're trying to cheer Ben (and each other) up.
For something seasonal, I'd love for Richie, Eddie, and Ben to be snowed in Ben's very big house just around Christmas. The three of them being stuck together leads to getting drunk and fooling around. Or cute things like bed sharing, snowball fights as kids (or adults!), decorating trees for Christmas together, sleepovers, etc.
I'd also love to read something college age-era for them. Maybe an AU where the three of them find each other, or an AU where they don't forget and Ben ends up their college roommate. Or they all meet somehow during the time their memories are lost, and end up falling for each other.

↳ SHIP: Bill Denbrough/Ben Hanscom/Beverly Marsh
I really love the way the films present this “love triangle” in the sense that both Bill and Ben are never openly jealous or resentful of the other, which is really refreshing, honestly. I like how Bill and Ben can be friends and work together without issue. I love that they both respect Beverly’s feelings and don’t pressure her to “choose.” I feel like this a strong foundation for a poly triad dynamic, so that’s kind of what I’m leaning into.
I would love anything with them growing up and kind of figuring out that all three of them really like each other and kind of navigating the idea that they could all be together. I like to live in the AU land where Beverly’s aunt moves to Derry instead of Beverly moving to Portland so they all can go to High School together, so feel free to waive the canon context of Bev’s move for this. Bill comes off like he’s in love with all of his friends, so I’d love to see him kind of pursuing Ben or kissing him unexpectedly and Ben trying to work out how he feels about Bill.
This of course could lead to Beverly taking both of them to the prom. Beverly has two hands!
Or you could work with an AU where they stay together post-Derry and try to figure out how this throuple works without really knowing that this is a thing people do. I’d love to see them fumbling and trying to work out that yeah, all three of them want to be together and not just “share” Beverly.
I’d love a version of Beverly sleeping with Bill from the book, but only it’s all three of them have sex together in the inn and the fallout (or just aftermath) of that.
Or a post-canon fic where Ben and Beverly have gotten together, 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.
If you wanted to write a fucked up fic where Bill and Ben plot and carry out the murder of Tom Rogan, then I wouldn't mind at all.

↳ SHIP: 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 subsumed 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 Richie and Eddie are 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.

↳ SHIP: Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon/Stanley Uris
Honestly, I ship Mike with both Bill and Stan, and could maybe be into Bill and Stan being a thing, but I just want everyone to love Mike and crush on him at the same time. I’d love something set when they’re teenagers and Bill and Stan are always hanging around the farm, staring at Mike while he does farm work and then getting put to work by Mike’s grandma. I’d love anything where Mike’s grandparents realize first that those boys have a crush on Mike and Mike being all, no you’re being silly!
I like the thought of Stan trying to low key woo Mike without telling him and then Bill shows up as well, think they're just hanging out as friends (but Bill would also like to woo Mike AND Stan). In general, I would love to read teenage boyfriend shenanigans, either prior to getting together or after, trying to make poly work without knowing what poly even is.
Or an AU where all three of them stay behind in Derry, and slowly fall into bed with each other because they have no one else.
I’d love a take where none of them lose their memories—maybe they killed Pennywise for real that first time? Or maybe they didn't lose their memories for some reason—and they all keep on and off dating each other until it shakes out into an actual threesome.
Or if you want to try something established, I’d love anything where the three of them try and go on dates, like Stan taking both of them bird watching or them sleeping out in one of the fields on the farm and stargazing, or Bill talking out his ideas for stories out to them. Just them being all comfortable together.
I would really love to watch them fall in love and come together at any point in their lives, and I know that's a lot for a 1000 word exchange, so it's fine to leave it UST or unspoken, but I really would like to see what a three way relationship looks like between them and how they work that out.
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Eddie Kaspbrak/Beverly Marsh/Richie Tozier
I am really okay with and happy with Eddie and Richie sitting somewhere on the Kinsey scale where they're not normally attracted to women, but Beverly is their best close friend and they're definitely into her. Or when they don't feel or experience a specific attraction to her as a woman, but still want to get her off and make her feel good. Whatever works for you!
Drunken threesomes! Either post-Chapter Two, or at some point as teenagers. All three of them getting drunk and getting into a very ill-advised threesome, especially since Richie and Eddie don't even like girls. Or you can make this sex pollen instead! Or, if you want, somehow they all end up in the same place when they can’t remember each other and end up falling into bed together.
I love the concept of teenage Beverly wanting to lose her virginity and she picks out Richie and Eddie to do it. Beverly feels safe with them both because they're gay and she knows it, which helps her feel more at ease knowing they don’t want her like that, they just love her. Maybe she would like to have sex with Ben or Bill, but is frigthened or spooked by their feelings for her and gravitates towards Richie and Eddie instead. Awkward, underage, first time threesomes! Especially if Richie and/or Eddie are also either trying to prove they're not gay or if Richie is trying to prove he can like a girl by getting Beverly off (and maybe failing or succeeding depending on how you want to approach), or maybe both of them still very uncertain about their sexuality, or their feelings for one another.
Post- Chapter Two: Beverly, getting away from Tom, hides out with Richie and Eddie. Intense emotions follow, something in that no man's land between platonic and romantic. Maybe Beverly trying to seduce one or the other and not knowing they're fully gay or mistaking them for bisexual. All three of them getting in a mess together.
Or! An AU where Beverly agrees to be Richie's beard while he is with Eddie on the down low. Beverly gradually ends up being a part of their relationship, the three of them being oddly coupley in public. Richie coming out anyway, but Beverly doesn't stop mutually dating them.
Richie and Eddie help Beverly bury a body. Could be in high school, or could be post-Chapter Two, or an AU where they went to college together. Beverly killing someone in self defense and Richie and Eddie coming together to help her out. Maybe she kills her dad, or later Tom. Honestly, I can also see all the Losers helping her, but for this ship prompt in particular, I love the thought of the three of them bound by that secret.
I’d love to see a slow burn-style relationship building piece that focuses on Richie and Beverly’s close friendship, and Eddie and Beverly’s innate sense of understanding of each other.
If you want to somehow go with a monster or magic AU, I’d love to see what you come up with for these three!
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: 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. Stan is always rolling his eyes at them. I'd love more of his POV, in general. I see him as the straight man in their three person group. I would love to see how a threesome develops, whether they get drunk and just started experimenting, or something a lot more deliberate happens. I headcanon that they were all friends before they all met Bill, so there’s some sandbox love history there to be mined.
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, or they go back to Derry at the same time for a holiday, or start to remember each other, if not Pennywise, or perhaps they go back for Eddie's mom's funeral.
I would adore some kind of established Richie/Eddie, who invite Stan into their relationship. If you somehow can make a domestic AU where they’re all living together, in a relationship together work, I’d love to see anything domestic.
Any high school-era shenanigans. Richie and Eddie dragging Stan on adventures, Eddie and Stan uniting against Richie for the side of reason. Eddie and Richie teasing Stan and Stan giving back as good as he gets.
I am kind of in love with 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? Or just being in close proximity to each other? Whichever!) and they end all codependent on each other. But also college shenanigans!
Stan survives his suicide attempt, whether he comes to Derry in bandages, having escaped the hospital somehow, taking his living as a sign. Or he is hospitalized throughout the entire fight with Pennywise. Eddie and Richie come to visit him and there is crying and some yelling and a lot of feelings.
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, 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.
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Mike Hanlon/Ben Hanscom/Beverly Marsh
Mike moving in with Ben and Beverly, post chapter two. I love the thought of Ben/Beverly together as a couple with Mike sort of longing to be with them both but also just happy to be near them. Mike pining for them both. Ben and Beverly making space for them.
But also none of them being in a relationship but sticking together after the events of the movie. Ben invites everyone to his home or yacht, but Mike and Bev stay the night. Someone gets drunk and makes out.
All the trauma bonding.
I’d love Mike adjusting to living in the world out of Derry and struggling, having a hard time and coping with trauma, and the other two being the only ones who understand.
Post chapter two: the three of them getting drunk together and having a threesome. Or having a spontaneous threesome without alcohol.
Snuggled together in bed. Cuddle piles that Mike thinks he’s not invited to until Beverly or Ben pull him in.
The three of them go on a roadtrip together.
Mike and Ben go with Beverly to get her stuff from her and act as her back up when she faces Tom again.
Threeway dates that Mike doesn’t know is a date.
Anything with them as kids? Even UST with them spending time together, maybe both Ben and Mike have a crush on Bev, or maybe Ben has a crush on them both, and trying to cope with that.
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Mike Hanlon/Beverly Marsh
I am forever obsessed by how much Mike admired Beverly 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.
Branching off that, I’d love 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, then as 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. Maybe Beverly likes him, too. But she likes all of her boys, so she’s not sure what it means. Maybe Mike goes to high school instead of being homeschooled and they become like an almost not-actually-a-couple power couple. Like Prom King and Queen!
Or maybe an AU where Beverly doesn’t move away and stays in Derry, but either actually killed her dad by smashing his head with the toilet cover, or he survived, but now she’s avoiding home and looking for a safe place to stay. 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 just want it.
Speaking of moving to the farm, maybe Beverly starts hanging out there as a way to escape her dad and eventually she’s just invited to stay. I think the Hanlons are more aware of what Derry is and what its hiding and they would see right through the bullshit, and realize Beverly is being abused and maybe want to help?
Or maybe Beverly decides to stay behind with Mike in Derry and they grow kind of codependent and intertwined, forging a bond of two outsiders that the town reviled trying to save that very town.
I’d also like something creepier, like Mike calls Beverly telling her that Pennywise is back, knowing that she'll immediately leave Tom and run to Maine. It's not the first time he's done this.
Or! 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 (and maybe the other Losers).
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 especially with Mike not wanting to let any of his friends go again. I’d love for Mike to end up helping Beverly move out of her place with Tom, or for Mike to end up staying with Beverly in some way (feel free to have Ben/Bev not get together right away, or be poly or have threesomes).
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Mike Hanlon/Eddie Kaspbrak
So after rewatching both movies about a billion times, it’s become apparent to me that Eddie and Mike were friends pre-the rock war. When they find his bike, all the other’s call Mike the homeschool kid and it’s Eddie that confirms that it’s Mike’s bike by using his name. Then after the fight, Mike leads Eddie away by holding his hand. That… is what I want to explore. This background friendship that was implied, but never fully explained or explored.
If you want to include details from the book, I really like the detail that Eddie befriends Mike despite his mother’s racist tirades against him and that Eddie likes to hang outside Mike’s church because he likes the gospel music drifting outside. I’d love anything about how they met and how they became friends, how Mike feels about Eddie and vice versa.
Eddie running away from home and hiding out on the farm! Or maybe just sneaking in through Mike’s window and staying the night. I think Eddie feels safe with Mike and I like to think Mike is a little protective. Like I love the deleted scene where Mike puts Eddie in his basket on his bike after he breaks his arm. More of that!
Kind of riffing off my Mike/Beverly prompts, I’d also like Mike realizing what kind of life Eddie is leading and he tries to “save” him from it by calling him and inducing his memories. Or maybe Mike keeps checking in on him since Eddie is so close, it could be a day trip.
Or maybe Eddie stays behind accidentally because he gets stuck taking care of his mother because she falls very ill, and being the last ones left, he and Mike kind of strike up a relationship made of codependency and loneliness.
Mike can’t let it go that Eddie died when he can figure out how to bring him back. Go as creepy as you like with this, lean into that weird worldbuilding.
Eddie haunts Mike as a ghost because no one else can see him.

↳ SHIP: Mike Hanlon/Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier
Okay, listen, you might have noticed that I like putting Richie and Eddie with a third dude loser a little—maybe a lot a little, but can you blame me when they all grow up to be babes? So I will start with my shallow prompt: I really want porn with all three of them falling into bed together. Maybe post-canon, or maybe at the Derry Inn, or maybe when they’re teens, or maybe Mike and richie hook up and Eddie’s ghost joins them, whatever you like! I’m not picky!
Richie and Eddie are established post-canon, and Mike comes to stay with them along his road trip and he decides not to leave. I’d love anything domestic and falling into a throuple situation. Or just Richie and Eddie want to thank Mike for bringing them back together—with sex.
Maybe Mike helps Richie bring Eddie back from the dead, both as an apology and because Mike himself wants Eddie back, and feelings develop through the process, with Eddie coming in and making everything more complex.
I’d love anything with them as kids, maybe Richie and Eddie are established, but want to seduce Mike because they both think he’s cute.
ANYTHING that explores how Mike feels about the two of them, his OPOV on them, coming from maybe knowing Eddie, but not knowing Richie except through stories Eddie told him, Mike slowly falling a bit in love with them.
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Mike Hanlon/Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier/Stanley Uris
My desires are really relatively simple--I would like a double date scenario that escalates into something more. I think it’d be really cute if they keep going on double dates together, whether knowingly or not knowingly (if this is pre chapter 2, and they’re still teenagers in Derry, I can see them pretending they’re just “hanging out” together and leaving Stan/Mike and Richie/Eddie as subtext that they all are aware about, but aren’t talking about out loud).
I also just like the thought of Eddie Kaspbrak as a baby swinger, who wants he and Richie to seduce Mike and Stan together. Or maybe Eddie plans this with Stan to bring their boyfriends together.
In general, like the thought of these four as the only ones left in Derry, after all their other friends have left. Maybe they’re the only ones around for senior year of high school and they just grow closer together in the absence of Bill and Ben and Beverly. I’d like to read them coming together in a poly relationship, with or without group sex, sharing partners, etc, even if they’re awkward and they don’t know what they’re doing.
The four of them as the Derry lighthouse keepers is a fantastic idea.
Other ship combos within this foursome are fine, as long as it eventually leads to a foursome!
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Mike Hanlon/Stanley Uris
I latched onto this ship when I rewatched the first movie and saw how much Mike and Stan stood by each other and comforted one another. Mike is the only one to reach out when Stan is crying at the Neibolt house and wraps him up in his arms. That part did me in and now I’d really just love anything that explores their dynamic further.
I’d love anything with them as teenagers. They’re the only ones not involved in any intra-Losers relationship drama, between the Bill/Bev/Ben love triangle and whatever Richie and Eddie are, they really only have each other as a lifeline. I’d love anything that builds on that quiet solidarity and explores their friendship that could lead to something more.
In the book, Stan likes birds and bird watches, and I kind of love that, so i’d like to see Stanley taking Michael while he goes looking for birds. There’s also a kind of headcanon that Stan is a photographer and that really hits me as making so much sense since he’s such an observer of the group, so anything to do with Stan taking pictures and Mike helping, or Stan making Mike the subject of his photos.
I don’t really want anything issue fic-like, but it would be nice to see some of their different histories and cultures coming into play, like Mike is curious about Stan’s Jewish holidays or Stan asking Mike difficult, but welcome questions, them relating on a different level than the other Losers, having quiet and deep conversations between each other. Mike bringing Stan to the farm, Stan asking Mike to attend services at the synagogue.
Anything with awkward teenage fumbling and falling in love and coming to terms with their sexuality, or figuring themselves out with each other.
Stan and Mike go to Florida after High School Graduation together. Give me the road trip, what they do, maybe their feelings come spilling out and it’s bittersweet because Stan is going away to college and Mike has to stay in Derry.
Mike remembering Stan throughout the years. Mike writing Stan letters he never sends. Maybe he gives them to him when he sees him again.
Stan staying in Derry with Mike. both of them trying to work together to defeat IT/Pennywise, but also Mike trying to hold Stan together. I am fine with you including suicide attempts and Stan’s struggle with depression while Mike tries to desperately hang onto him.
Instead of calling Stan, Mike remembers Stan is more skittish and has more Pennywise related trauma, so he makes time to go fetch Stan in person. Cue Mike showing up on Stan’s doorstep and Stan is confused as to why this mysterious and handsome stranger is there.
Mike is haunted by Stan’s ghost. Stan's ghost follows him throughout his road trip.
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Don Hagerty/Adrian Mellon
I know this is cliched, but they deserved better. I really really want Adrian lives fic, maybe Pennywise doesn’t eat him, but rather he takes him down to his lair for reasons and Don joins the Losers to try and find him. I’d love the fall out of that and the hurt/comfort that will bring. Or maybe someone intervenes, like Mike, and they make it out of Derry together. Or Don gets Adrian back somehow, by whatever means you’d like. Just bring him back.
I honestly kind of fell in love with them a little more after reading the book, so if you feel like drawing some information for backstory from the novel, I would love that. I would like to see their backstory updated for the film timeline. I especially loved the detail that Adrian felt inspired by Derry and that Adrian was a writer. I liked the difference between their perspectives. Don knows the ugliness of Derry all too well, but Adrian caught onto something almost magical.
Or just give me your take on how they met and how they fell in love, then came to live in Derry. I just want to know their full story, not just the end of it.
And honestly, I’d love anything domestic with them! How their day to day lives were, how they were planning on getting out. Their hopes and dreams. Anything like that.
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Frank Kaspbrak/Wentworth Tozier
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. I really am enamoured with the idea that they were childhood friends, like Richie and Eddie, but in a less intense way. I’d love to see that sense of history play out.
Frank and Wentworth are dating in secret, and have to stop when Wentworth gets married to Maggie. I’d love to see the angsty fall out of that. I also like affairs, open relationships, and polyamory, though so if you want to lean into those things, feel free! If you wanted to resolve the love triangle with a similar arrangement, I’d love to see that.
I’d love to see something set after they had a youthful affair and Frank comes back with his new wife, and Wentworth is concerned with how things are going, which gets himself way too involved in things he shouldn’t and draws himself closer to Frank.
I have a headcanon that Frank didn’t die of a terminal illness, but was murdered by Sonia via slow poisoning, so if you want to play with that idea, I’d love it to pieces. Maybe Wentworth is haunted by Frank’s ghost and has to figure out what happened to help Eddie.
An 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.
Of course, I’d love any sort of monster AU!
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: 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). Or Frank and Wentworth BOTH get drafted, and they end up having a torrid affair overseas and Went brings Frank back with him into his marriage.
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 and Wentworth being siblings together, and sharing a partner together. Especially if they want to stay in each other’s lives, so if Frank and Maggie can’t be together openly, but 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 Richie/Eddie or the parents low key supporting Richie/Eddie is encouraged!
Monster AU free space!

↳ SHIP: Maggie Tozier/Andrea Uris
My needs are really very simple: I really want Derry mom affair fic! Andrea and Maggie meet 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 bring Richie or Stan over to the 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 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. Either as teenagers, or later on in life.

WARNING: I’m placing my incest, dubcon/noncon, and generally more fucked up prompts here, so you can ignore them if you’d like.
↳ SHIP: Bill Denbrough/Georgie Denbrough
Well, I am being shameless and requesting this. For the record: I don’t want anything to happen pre-canon or anything before Georgie is a teenager, but I am really fascinated how fixated Bill can be on his brother and I would love to see it taken to its darkest conclusions.
I’d love any and all fic where Georgie lives, but he isn't okay. Maybe he was saved from Pennywise initially, or maybe Bill really did find Pennywise's lair when they went to go rescue Beverly, but it's been months since he's been gone and Georgie has massive amounts of trauma and has a hard time being around people. He could not remember what happened, or he could refuse to talk about it. I would love Georgie to cling to Bill (maybe he feels like he is the only one who understands him) and for Bill and Georgie to end up very codependent and all snarled up together, with Bill being the only one taking care of Georgie—maybe his parents are happy to have him back but have no idea how to deal with or take care such a traumatized kid—I would like it if Georgie were fucked up in messy ways, like violently acting out.
While I would prefer for any sexual contact to be reserved for when Georgie is a teenager or young adult, I love the thought of Georgie hitting puberty and developing a fixation on his brother that turns into a crush. I would love for Georgie to make the first move and Bill to try to gently turn him down and convince himself Georgie is just confused (Bill can have feelings, too of course, but I like Bill hating himself for it and trying desperately to repress them, and Georgie not getting it—clearly you are the only person in the world who even remotely gets what I went through, Bill!). I would like for older, adult or teen Georgie to try to make friends or date, but he can't connect or bond with anyone else, so it always goes back to Bill. I imagine Georgie is missing an arm and Derry isn't very kind to kids who are different to begin with.
If Georgie's been in the deadlights, I like the thought of him bringing a bit of Pennywise back with him, or hearing Pennywise in his head. Kind of similar to what happened to Henry Bowers, but maybe not so hopelessly doomed? I would love to see Georgie have blackouts or missing time, or maybe he gets violent in ways that scare his parents and they try to send him to Juniper Hill. Maybe Bill runs away with him to keep Georgie from being taken away and now they're on the run.
I can see Bill being the one who stays in Derry to stay with Georgie in this verse, and thus maybe he and his brother are holding down the fort for everyone else, but it also just makes them even messier and fucked up people.
I love the thought of Bill encountering a Georgie from an alternate universe where Bill died instead, especially when Bill is older and he doesn't fully recognize this older looking Georgie. Maybe Bill gets stranded in that alternate universe, or maybe that Georgie gets stranded in the canon universe, or maybe they meet in some crack in the universe, or only in dreams, but I definitely want a messy complicated weird sexual relationship to develop due to them desperately missing each other.
Or maybe an AU where Pennywise doesn’t target Georgie and Bill, but because they’re still in Derry, their parents are still influenced to be neglectful parents, so Bill takes up the slack in raising Georgie. This leaves Georgie with a massive fucked up crush on his big brother.
Pennywise giving Bill creepy Georgie-oriented nightmares throughout his life, especially after Bill is an adult, or when he comes back to Derry. I would love it if he took Georgie's form to taunt him about "Hey your fixation on your brother is like, super creepy, and I'm an evil clown." I want him to take an adult form, or at least, older teenager form, if he's gonna sexually taunt Bill and be sexually aggressive towards him.

↳ SHIP: Henry Bowers/Patrick Hockstetter
I like these two as deeply fucked up, damaged, villains in love. I see them as a dark mirror foil to the Richie/Eddie dynamic, so I am interested in the ways they push each other and pull on each other, and how their power dynamics work with Patrick too free and wild, and Henry as a repressed powder keg, ready to erupt. For most of my prompts, I do like some level of genuine reciprocal emotion, even if it's deeply disturbing and fucked up!
Backstory! I am really curious how they came together. Did they grow up together? Were they always aware of each other throughout their lives ? Did they not become friends until Henry formed his gang? How does Henry’s status as the Sheriff’s son affect their relationship?
Getting drunk, high, blowing stuff up at the junkyard, leading to make outs and more.
I’d love anything with them forming a Bonnie & Clyde dynamic. Henry and Patrick, going off on their own little life of crime together, running away from Derry and letting loose on the world. Maybe they do something TOO much even for Derry and have to leave together. I'd love a violent, terrifying road trip of two scary wild teenage boys, trying to outrun Derry together.
Bullying the losers as foreplay. The bullying doesn't need to be sexual (though feel free to combine this with the Patrick/Richie/Eddie prompts, if you like, I am all for dubcon/noncon Richie/Eddie/Patrick/Henry foursomes, or smaller permutations involving Henry), but maybe both of them getting aroused and turned on by terrorizing school children and hurting people, and end up fucking afterwards: rough handjobs, rushed blowjobs, bent over and fucked over Patrick's car. Arousal from killing or violence is also great—though feel free to apply that to any prompt!
Patrick 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.
Henry is deeply ashamed of his scars and bruises and marks from his father, and not wanting Patrick to know, but Patrick pushes past his boundaries and gets under his skin. Patrick leaving sexually-charged kisses on all the marks he has.
Patrick murdering Henry's dad for him. Patrick making Henry do it while he watches and gets hard. Patrick fucking Henry next to the dying, bleeding out corpse of his father. Or for something really fucked up, Patrick tying Butch up and then having his way with Henry in front of him, all the while talking about how good Henry is for him and how Henry belongs to him. Then maybe they kill him together after. Patrick angry Butch keeps hurting what’s his to hurt.
The Bowers Gang as a gang of serial killers, which honestly isn't really that far off from canon. Maybe in this AU they're actually killing children and responsible for the disappearances. Henry and Patrick getting off together after a kill, feeding into each other’s manic and adrenaline-fuelled energies. Or maybe only Patrick is a lone serial killer and starts seducing Henry into being a serial killer with him. Maybe they take their killing spree on the road.
I also love the Bowers Gang as a little, vicious, feral wolf pack. Maybe Henry turns them all, or maybe Patrick becomes a werewolf and turns Henry, who in then turns Victor and Belch. Patrick turning Henry to bind them closer together is great. Patrick training Henry to be a werewolf and hunting and killing together is fantastic. Rough sex to stave off violent urges works here, though possibly, they don't want to stave off their violent urges, but rather give into them and turn them on each other. Cue violent and bloody, half-turned werewolf sex on the edge of a full moon.
Sex worker AU! Patrick prostituting himself, and Henry watching him, either on purpose or accidentally. Henry stumbles on Patrick blowing some guy for money, and becoming angry and disgusted by it, but also turned on and eventually wanting to pay Patrick for the pleasure. Or Patrick allowing Henry to watch and jerk off in a corner during the act, or prostitution roleplay after Patrick gets found out.
OR maybe Henry is doing sex work on the side in Derry or little surrounding towns (i.e. he goes to Chamberlain or something to avoid anyone he knows) to get cash to escape his dad's house and Patrick finds out. Patrick taking advantage of that fact, paying for sex and maybe dirty talking about making Henry his kept boy. Or maybe they run away together and and survival sex work ensues, both of them looking after one another and doing jobs together.
Henry as a secret Omega! Henry hiding it from all of his gang and feeling deeply ashamed and terrified of what would happen if people find out! Alpha Patrick finding out and agreeing to keep Henry's secret, for a price: Henry letting Patrick fuck him, or knot him, or mate him. Or Patrick convincing Henry to let him knot him and promising protection in exchange. Patrick wanting to become Henry’s alpha and make Henry belong to him.
I love the thought of Patrick on Henry's leash, Patrick befriending Henry because he's always down for violence and sadism, and Henry allows him that outlet. I like Henry full of rage and willing to do a lot of things Patrick wants or suggests, but also being a little scared of him, especially his lack of limits. Henry knowing that Patrick stalks him sometimes and watches him from afar, maybe even watches him sleep, and feeling unsettled, but also strangely comforted.
For BDSM stuff, I like the thought of Patrick being a masochistic dom, egging Henry on to hurt him in ways—face slapping, pushing down on bruises, wound fingering, breathplay—and Henry going with it, but gradually becoming more freaked out. Henry as a sub is also great, but it'd probably be a bit more forced submission on his part, with Patrick pushing past boundaries or doing things to Henry that he enjoys, but didn't really agree with. I love the thought of Patrick forcing kisses on Henry because Henry will suck Patrick’s cock, but kissing is too far.
I also love the idea of Henry having to get used to Patrick touching him any which way, and never knowing if it’s meant to be a threat or a genuinely intimate touch, and finding himself slowly not caring.
In general, Patrick trying to worm his way into Henry, sexually, really works for me. I want Henry to be full of internalized homophobia and acting completely disinterested in Patrick, but allowing handjobs or blowjobs from him, and then pretending it doesn't mean anything. Patrick trying to dismantle his boundaries and patiently going at it. Non-sexual demands turn increasingly sexual really works here for me, from either party. OR Patrick getting tired of Henry sending mixed signals and just going for it with Henry—forced kisses, holding him down and telling him he's hard, so he must really want this, telling him he knows what he really wants and he's tired of Henry lying to them both. Feel free to lean into all the dubcon here.
Hanahaki for these two is amazing. I like the thought of either of them coughing up flowers for the other, but hiding it. Especially Henry, who views it as a sign of weakness and doesn't want anyone to know he's pining for anyone. I really like the thought of Patrick in particular struck down with Hanahaki disease and what he’d do about it: leaving the bloody flowers on Henry's doorsteps sounds like a Patrick thing to do.
Make. Them. Soulmates. Or at least make them have a soulbond where they’re forced to feel each other’s emotions or pain, or hear each other’s thoughts. I’d love to see how these two with well-built walls deal with being so intimately entwined with one another. Patrick might be into the pain he keeps getting from Henry, in a sexual sense, but he's real sick of someone who's not him being allowed to hurt Henry. Or maybe Henry is fascinated and sickened by being privy to all the thoughts that go through Patrick Hockstetter’s head. Patrick figuring out how the bond works and experimenting on ways to heighten sensations: both pain and pleasure.
Patrick carving his name or initials on Henry. Henry returns the sentiment, neither of them acknowledging what that means. In general, any kind of knifeplay is welcome. Patrick holding a knife to Henry’s throat and fucking him, or Patrick leaning into a knife at his throat to kiss Henry. Patrick asking Henry to carve him up and make him bleed.
I love the idea that Patrick is jealous of Henry paying attention to someone else more than him and killing someone. Or Henry flying into a jealous rage and killing someone over Patrick, then acting like nothing happened. But Patrick is very turned on by the whole situation, nonetheless.
Patrick as the local drug dealer just makes SENSE. For a prompt not quite as terrifying, I'd love Patrick as Henry's weed dealer and getting high together, and Patrick using Henry's lowered defenses to seduce him or make out with him. Maybe the weed softens both their edges and for once, they just enjoy each other’s company, and maybe even snuggle.
God, I would love Patrick and Henry in some kind of fuck or die situation. Maybe by outside forces—the rest of their gang, or someone else forcing them to fuck or die as a punishment—or maybe with sex pollen. Or maybe Patrick is making Henry fuck or die as part of a game, or just because he's sadistic.
Whatever the situation is, I mainly want Henry forced to act out his fantasies or feelings for Patrick that he didn't want anyone to know about. Maybe Henry has a rape fantasy kink that he's deeply ashamed of, and Patrick decides to be a bro and give that to him, whether Henry wants him to or not. On the other hand, Patrick with a rape fantasy is fascinating and I’d love to see that explored.
Fairy tales seem like an odd fit for these two, but I’d really love to explore the dark aspects of their dynamic through the lens of fairy tale storytelling. Maybe there’s something a bit Snow White and the Huntsman about them, or Henry is Sleeping Beauty and Patrick is the dragon that guards him. I like the idea of Henry being cursed on some level, and Patrick going to great lengths to break the curse. Maybe there’s a little Rapunzel in there, too. Or some Little Red and the Wolf. I’d really love to see how combining these two with a fairy tale would look.
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.
Or something post Patrick’s death, where Henry doesn’t notice Patrick has died because he still sees and talks to him all the time.
Zombie Patrick blowing Henry in IT Chapter 2. Like old times, even though his mouth isn’t very warm anymore.

↳ SHIP: Henry Bowers/Patrick Hockstetter/Gretta Keene
I love the concept of these three being in a messy love triangle together, and trying to resolve it with a threesome, but maybe that makes it worse. I am leaning towards either Gretta or Henry being at the center of the love triangle and I really like the thought of Gretta dating Henry and gradually realizing how weird he is about Patrick, in general.
Antagonistic three way bully flirting! The three of them bullying each other as part of some strange, courtship ritual. Or the three of them getting together to bully someone else as part of a weird courtship ritual with each other and egging each other on.
I like the thought of Gretta having a crush on Henry and Patrick finding that hilarious. Maybe he tries to make it happen, as long as he's a part of it, or maybe they end up fucking while he taunts her about how Henry is his. The two of them having sex together as a way for both of them to get closer to Henry is also a really interesting concept to me.
Monster AU! Any monsters! But I think vampires and werewolves might work best. I love the idea of Gretta not knowing what Henry and Patrick are, but wanting to be a part of it regardless, and Patrick turns her and she gets in over her head. The three of them as a horrible, terrorizing monster trio.
Serial killer AU! I love the idea of them as like a three-way Bonnie-and-Clyde dynamic, but with more murder. Or maybe an AU where they’re all responsible for the child disappearances and they all want to take out the Losers.
Henry and Patrick double-penetrate Gretta. That's it that's the prompt. Maybe it's a drunk night, maybe Gretta gets to fuck Henry as long as she lets Patrick fuck her, too.

↳ SHIPS: Patrick Hockstetter/Eddie Kaspbrak, Patrick Hockstetter/Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier, Patrick Hockstetter/Richie Tozier
***NOTE: Some of these prompts would work for all requested 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.
Also, re: to my usual noncon DNW (that I removed, mainly for this prompt), 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 Richie and Eddie and messing with them, however that turns out.
As far as their ages go, I am okay with aging them up so they’re a little older (15-17), with handwaving Patrick being alive, but I am also happy to read about them at their ages in Chapter 1, just not any younger.
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, or 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 taking advantage of Richie’s internalized homophobia to blackmail him into an on-going sexual relationship. Patrick threatening to out Richie unless he blows him or lets him fuck him. Or Patrick threatening to hurt one of Richie’s friends unless he performs sexually for him.
Patrick picks up on Richie being gay, and propositions Richie for sex, reasoning to Richie that he may as well lose his virginity at some point and he’s the only other person into dudes Richie knows. Maybe Richie is young enough that the proposition is more terrifying than appealing, or Patrick propositions him while threatening him as well, like shoving a knife in his face. I’d be into Richie agreeing right then and there, or getting away and telling Patrick no, only to come back to him later.
Patrick making all sorts of dubious advances and groping Richie in public until it escalates into more. Richie decides to go along with whatever Patrick wants to do with him, because it’s easier that way. Richie, in general, feeling ashamed and like there’s something wrong with him for his attraction to Patrick. Patrick forcing Richie to masturbate in front of him, then escalates it to touching Richie.
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, bareback, 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 take him under his wing and teach him stuff—-both violent and sexual things. Patrick as the scary big brother figure Richie didn’t want.
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.
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 discovers he’s way kinkier than he imagined. Eddie using Patrick to try to rebel and not be his mommy’s little boy anymore.
Patrick teasing Eddie, calling him a baby, giving him sweet nicknames, and treating him like a kid, making Eddie eager to show him that he’s not a child. This leads to really ill-advised sex.
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. Maybe this was discussed prior, as part of Eddie’s rape fantasy, or not.
Patrick grabbing Eddie as he’s leaving Keene’s Pharmacy, (or some other location) and dragging him into an alleyway and having his way with him. He could coerce or blackmail Eddie, or pick on him in a way that escalates to groping and making Eddie jerk him off, or mock him for being a baby who doesn’t know anything about sex, which makes Eddie want to prove him wrong. Blowjobs, or fucking against the wall is good, too. Eddie feeling humiliated after is also good. Eddie getting off and feeling fucked up about that, or Patrick forcing Eddie to get off with degrading, condescending praise about him being a slut for him.
I’d also love an AU where Eddie is the one who stays behind in Derry instead! Leaving Eddie all isolated with just his mother, and then Patrick shows up to seduce him. I would love them to end up in a toxic, fucked up, sexually charged relationship because Eddie is so desperately lonely and starved for attention that isn’t from his mom, and Patrick is happy to play around with him. I’d love for Patrick to end up attached to him on some level. Maybe Eddie proves himself to him. Maybe he and Eddie kill Eddie’s mom together, and they end up partners in crime.
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.
Dark fairy tales! I love Patrick as a villain in a fairy tale retelling, maybe a Big Bad Wolf figure, or perhaps something like a Bluebeard. Or you could be more loose and write something with the feeling of a fairy tale. Or just something based on folktales in general.
Werewolf au, vampire au, serial killer au! I promise I don’t think of all of these as the same, but I really want an AU where Patrick is a monster—-a vampire, a werewolf, a garden variety serial killer—-and takes either Richie or Eddie or both under his wing, turning them into monsters, or trying to at least. 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. Patrick either succeeds at making monsters out of Richie and Eddie, or they surprise and turn the tables on him, maybe even realizing it’s two against one and turning against him.
Sex pollen! It could be a more grounded depiction—maybe Patrick got his hands on a designer drug and decided to test it on Richie and/or Eddie—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, pinning him down and having their way with him in a horny, fucked out haze.
Patrick makes Richie and Eddie fuck or die. I am very into Patrick deciding to have “fun” with Eddie and Richie and having his way with both of them, using them against each other. He could threaten to out one of them if they don’t perform for him, or Eddie volunteers to be ‘raped’ by Patrick so he won’t hurt Richie, or vice versa with Richie. I love both of them agreeing to whatever sexual things Patrick wants to do to them to keep Patrick from hurting the other. I’d love the aftermath of this as well, hurt/comfort or recovery, or their relationship being strained because Richie is consumed with guilt for “raping” Eddie at Patrick’s behest or Eddie thinks Richie sees him as disgusting. I’m also absolutely into Patrick making Eddie fuck Richie as well!
Or maybe he’s been fucking Richie and learns 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. I’m delighted by the thought of Patrick acting like he’s doing Richie favor by pushing him and Eddie together. I love Patrick playing fucked up matchmaker.
I also love the hurt/comfort of it all, with Eddie and Richie enduring terrible things for each other, and comforting each other afterwards, holding hands, snuggling, or even holding each other through noncon scenes. I absolutely love trauma bonding.
Patrick as both Eddie and Richie’s bad touch booty call they’re both equal parts into, and disgusted by, but not knowing the other is also sleeping with Patrick. 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 where Patrick threatens 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.
Or, Patrick playing the fucked up big brother role, and kidnapping Eddie and tying him up, prepped and ready to go for Richie to have his way with. And Patrick threatens to do it, if Richie is ungrateful and doesn’t want his “gift.”
Patrick filming Richie and Eddie having 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. I really love the seedy, sleazy image of Patrick having his own giant 90’s era camcorder and coercing Richie and Eddie into making amature porn for him to jerk off to later. Especially if he pushes them to go further than they’re comfortable, or force them to verbalize and act out their own fantasies.
Patrick taking sexy polaroid photos of them, either individually, or together, and using it as blackmail for more. Patrick taking photos of come shots, asses leaking with come, faces covered in come, or one or both of them blowing him. Or spanking Eddie until his ass is all red and taking a photo of that. Patrick having sexy naked photos of Eddie and putting them in Richie’s locker to freak him out.
Patrick tying them up, or Patrick having Richie tie Eddie up. Especially if he uses their clothes, or cuts their clothes off them so they don’t have anything to wear after. I also want Patrick marking them up, especially with scars or carving his name or initials on them in a fit of possessiveness. If you want to go in a more hurt/comfort direction for this, I’d really love Eddie and Richie aftermath of that, trying to clean up the injury or reopen the scars/wounds to change them and reclaim each other.
Patrick forcing them to fuck each other at gunpoint. At some point, making Richie or Eddie fellate or deepthroat the gun, especially if it’s the first time either of them had blown anyone or anything. The gun can turn out not to be loaded, or a legitimate threat. Patrick fucks one of them with the hilt of his knife, making the other one watch.
All the “forced to watch” tropes! I love one of them watching their best friend be nonconned or dubconned by Patrick, especially if Patrick is doing degrading things to the other and rubbing it in the voyer’s face, forcing them to get off or enjoy it.
Patrick showing Eddie what a good cocksucker Richie is, trying to freak Eddie out while humiliating Richie. Patrick making Eddie blow him in front of Richie and dirty talking about how much better Eddie is at it than Richie. Patrick making Eddie come over and over while Richie watches and can’t do anything about it. I especially love humiliating dirty talk about how much the one being fucked secretly loves this and what they slut they are for anything up their ass, and feeling humiliated and degraded in front of their best friend.
I love defiant, mouthy victims, and I would love both Eddie and Richie to be constantly mouthing off to Patrick, regardless of their fear or even if that Patrick be meaner or harsher with them. I really like the thought of Richie unable to stop himself from being snarky and having to pay for it, or Patrick enjoying how feisty Eddie is and being amused by it.
Anything similar to 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, maybe with each other). 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.
I also love rape aftermath and rape recovery and all the post rape hurt/comfort too! If that’s the only thing you want to focus on, I would love that as well. Give me Richie or Eddie getting raped by Patrick and having to deal with the fall out of that, as well as hurt/comfort with each other. I love trying to hide evidence of rape from each other, angry emotions, victims trying to convince themselves they weren’t actually raped or not being able to tell right away, blaming themselves, pushing away comfort and going into denial. For example, Richie trying to hide what happened between him and Patrick from Eddie, but there are bruises on his neck or arms that Eddie sees and gets overly concerned for.
I’d also enjoy Richie or Eddie feeling protective and wanting to get revenge or get back at Patrick for what was done to them.

My letters are usually fairly long and detailed, as I hope to cover enough ground to give you as much info in case you are not sure of what to write, but feel free to ignore most of this letter but the DNWs if something sparks you that’s not completely like what I prompted. I just want you to feel inspired and comfortable! See this as an overall rule that if none of my prompts work for you, I'd be happy to see any interpretation of my likes!
I've broken the beginning down into categories, including things I like for a general vibe of what I am into, to give you a good foundation of what I might be into. I am not expecting anything elaborate or plot-driven, but please feel free to do so if your heart desires!
I mostly use this journal as a private place to post thoughts I’m not comfortable posting on my tumblr, which is where I mostly hang out, making graphics and reblogging things—if you choose to visit, it’s good place to snoop to get a glimpse at what I like.

[return to the top]
☾ Fucked up, varying-degrees-of-unhealthy, too-close-for-comfort relationships. Codependent relationships, obsessive relationships, completely-fixated-on-the-other relationships. I love when a character is willing to literally let the world burn, should the world try to come between them and the person they love, choosing their partner above anyone else, them-against-the-world dynamics.
☾ Psychological mind games between the “bad guys” and the “good guys,” power play, power struggle, trying to manipulate one another. Dark seductions, characters coming to terms with a darker side to themselves, finding commonalities and camaraderie with the wrong person. Stories of conflicted loyalties, abuse of loyalties, loyalty leading people into really bad decisionmaking.
☾ Two-halves-of-a-whole-person type of relationships are my weakness, dynamics where the other can’t function without the other and opt for self-destruction in the face of separation. Dynamics where they are equally obsessive and fucked up, and extremely invested in their relationship, twisted and frightening utter devotion.
☾ People with good intentions doing bad things. People doing bad things for good reasons, or things that they think are good for bad reasons, moral descents and corruption. “The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions” narratives.
☾ The desperate, broken, and violent lives of criminals. Bonnie & Clyde dynamics. On the run from the law, laying low, living out of a car, out of a suitcase, unable to settle down. The ugly, wild sort of freedom that comes from being outside the law.

☆ Trust! I have a huuuge trust kink that can usually make most kinks work if the basis comes from how intensely two characters trust each other and their willingness to give themselves to the other person in every way, and vice versa.
☆ Any sort of overwhelming “I never thought I’d have this and now that I do, I don’t even know where to start” feelings.
☆ 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.
☆ Inexperience, awkwardness due to lack of knowing what to do, fumbling and messy, imperfect sex. Characters discovering kinks for the first time. I love anything that focuses on sexuality exploration and experimentation, and first times. Budding feelings, insecurities, gay teens feeling different and cut off from their peers, haywire hormones, accidental stimulation leading to arousal.
☆ Any sex where emotions are mixed, or difficult to acknowledge, or emotionally hurtful to acknowledge, sex that doesn't heal anybody's deep emotional wounds, moody messy melancholy.
☆ Hurt/Comfort sex, grief processing sex, any sort of sex that tries to dull the ache of something psychologically traumatizing.
☆ Messy, badly-negotiated (or unnegotiated) sexual desires. Characters signalling to their partner that they’re in a kinky mood vaguely or through actions (acting out for attention, behaving in a certain way, etc.). Boundary pushing, unaware of limits until limit is hit and still pressing forward, under-negotiated consent. Lack of communication, characters accidentally hurting each other or themselves.
☆ Powerplay and D/s, service kink and getting off on giving pleasure rather than receiving. I prefer more casual setups without much negotiation or discussion where one character gets off on being pushed around, getting told what to do, or do service-y things for the other, and the partner gets off on doing the pushing around and they all lean into that.
☆ As much as I love powerplay, I love it more when it includes switching or no set sexual “roles,” i.e. topping from the bottom, doms who like to be penetrated, dominance struggles, bossy subs, antagonism to push their partner around. Anything that explores a struggle for control.
☆ Roleplay and exploring fantasies.
☆ Dirty talk! Anything from the sweet and intense to extremely explicit and filthy. Getting a partner to talk about what they’re into during sex even if they’re embarrassed about it. Making a partner beg and voice what they want. Talking during sex to make the partner flustered, talking to orgasm, using pet names. Poking at hot buttons that tread the line of humiliation, talking about areas of shame in sexual desires.
☆ Praise kink! I love it when a character is lovingly taken apart by telling them how good they are or were. On the flipside, condescending praise from aggressors.
☆ Vocal sex, loud sex, unable to keep quiet. Partner kinking on moans, whimpering, mewling, whining. Vocal displays of losing control.
☆ Any sort of bondage—ropes, scarves, handcuffs, belts. I love characters being physically restrained so they can't move no matter how much they struggle, but also bondage that is about the character having to behave and stay still, without the use of restraints or flimsy restraints. Being held down and pinned at the wrists.
☆ Sex toys, used either solo or in partnered sex. Any sort of dildos, plugs, vibrators. Sex toys worn clothes and in public, remote controlled vibrators where one character has the remote.
☆ 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.
☆ Angry sex, fighting-that-leads-to-sex, heat-of-the-battle sex.. Ill-advised sex in lieu of working out issues between characters, taking out issues on partner during sex, frantic, make up sex.
☆ Mild objectification, whether it’s fully consensual or under-negotiated boundary-pushing leading to objectifying dirty talk about ‘using’ a partner for sex. Maybe actually following through with it. Casual groping, ass-slapping, rubbing up against a partner when they aren’t expecting it, grabbing them in public and feeling them up.
☆ All body worship and teasing. Kissing all over the body, exploring all parts of a partner, finding erogenous zones, kissing in unusual places. Edging, orgasm control, sensory overload, overwhelming sex. Overstimulation, being touched immediately after orgasm. Begging to come, multiple orgasms, crying during sex, kissing away or licking up the tears.
☆ Any sort of grooming or bathing as foreplay that leads to sex, or sex in the bath and/or shower. Joining partner in the shower to distract them from morning routine with sex. Cleaning up after sex, taking care of partner and being careful around bruises and marks.
☆ Voyeurism, either accidental or intentional. Inviting someone to watch, or fucking for the entertainment of a third party. Phone sex, sexting, dirty long-distance communication. Sending nudes and explicit videos. Masturbating as a show for a partner, partner giving instructions. Long-distance intimacy. Creating porn as a gift for a partner.
☆ Public sex or semi-public sex. Touching a partner under a table, giving oral sex in a movie theater or sex in a public bathroom. Sex outdoors, in parks, in a graveyard. Any form of car sex, inside or on top of a car. Road head. Sex in other places than a bed: on tables, against walls, on the floor, on a chair, in the shower.
☆ Characters who kink on violence and danger. Arousal from killing or watching someone get hurt. Attracted to dangerous people, i.e. serial killers or monsters. Knowing their partner could kill them or hurt them and getting off on it. Being the leash holder of a monster. Fearplay and desire to be “hunted” and taken. Extreme kinks like gunplay, knifeplay, breathplay, etc. Put on display for others, exhibitionism.
☆ I love blood kink and bloodplay! Vampires biting and feeding, menstrual sex, or combined with knifeplay where cutting a partner and making them bleed is part of the sex act. I also like accidental bleeding, as in too rough penetrative sex or biting too hard and breaking skin, or getting aroused by nosebleeds and accidental cuts.
☆ Scar kink, scar worship. Kissing, licking, or sucking on scars. Scarification as ownership or a sign of devotion. Matching scars, important scars. Branding.
☆ Any displays of jealousy and possessiveness, including PDA and grabbing a partner in public. Leaving hickeys and bite marks in visible places. Scratches and other forms of marking.
☆ Feral or animalistic behavior, especially re: monsters or werewolves. Xenophilia, monster fucking, kinking on partner’s inhuman features, sex with partner while transformed, i.e. sex with werewolf partner’s wolf form. Sensation play with a partner's inhuman outer appearance, like getting off on a scaled body or feeling fur against skin.
☆ Scent kink, breathing in partner’s skin, liking partner’s sweat and body odor. Smelling areas where scent is particularly strong, like armpits or groin. Smelling their hair.
☆ Hand kink, palm and fingers kissing. Finger sucking. Obsessed with what a partner's hands can do.

☆ Any and all forms of oral sex. Deepthroating, choking, coming in partner’s mouth. Vaginal fingering during cunnilingus. Tongue-fucking. Ball licking, sucking. Getting hair pulled while giving oral, recipient pushing giver’s head down and holding it there. Character getting aroused while giving oral and getting off during, either by masturbating, or grinding/rubbing off on partner’s leg. Body worship when giving oral, kissing and nuzzling into a partner's thighs, sucking and biting the skin, leaving marks. Face-sitting, enthusiastically grinding on partner's face, lazy and slow 69-ing. Rimming, kissing after oral sex—totally cool with ass-to-mouth.
☆ Stuffing someone's mouth with fingers or objects. Gagging. Hands over mouth. Trying to stay quiet during sex (and maybe failing). Biting lips, biting down on partner’s shoulder. Kissing to keep noisy partner quiet.
☆ Coming untouched.
☆ Non-penetrative sex: dry-humping, frottage, coming in pants. Intercrural in exchange for penetration, fucking partner’s thighs when they’re bent over or pressed face-first into a wall, coming on thighs.Touching a partner over their clothes or under the table. I like lazy, slow, sleepy, familiar sex where all parties are happy and don’t need anything fancy to make it good. I also like non-penetrative sex framed in a way that’s about the characters being too desperate or too impatient to do anything else, or are young and too inexperienced that any sort of contact gets them off.
☆ Penetration: hole stretching, hole training. Fingering, coming from just fingering. Sloppy lubrication, messy penetrative sex, double-penetration in one hole or in vagina and ass, multiple penetration and spitroasting. Sloppy hole after gangbang.
☆ Come play. Facials. Coming on someone's body. Coming inside. Licking come out of partner or licking another person’s come out of partner.

☆ Size differences, contrasting bodies, kinking on body differences. Size kink.
☆ 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. Intentionally drugging self in order to have a partner use their body to get off while they’re unconscious. Giving permission to use their body to get off when asleep.
☆ Drunk or high sex! I love the emotionally messy, dubcon-y, bad idea kind where one character is sober and unsure if they should do this when the intoxicated character comes onto them (especially if there’s pining involved) kind, or the mutually, sloppily affectionate consensual kind.
☆ Clothing kink! For example: a focus on suits, uniforms, gloves, boots, lingerie, etc. in a sexual context. Partially-clothed or mostly-clothed sex, naked/clothed, dressing and undressing, neat characters being disheveled for once; casual characters cleaning up nicely, clothes-sharing, choosing clothes for the other person as kink/foreplay. Crossdressing, either men in lingerie or women in suits. Getting off to smelling someone’s clothes or used underwear. Using clothes to tie someone up, or using underwear as a gag. Cutting clothes or ripping clothes off.
☆ Competence kink and intelligence kink, characters kinking on the skills set of another, i.e. Seth’s admiration/fixation on Richie cracking safes, characters admiring the strengths of the other.
☆ Adaptive sex due to injury or disability. Figuring out how to get a partner off in different ways, evolving sexual dynamics due to great upheavals and trauma. Rape recovery and working through contact and intimacy issues.
☆ Anything paired with tenderness, both for sweet sex and especially with rough, fucked up sex: hand-holding, forehead touching, forehead/face kisses, snuggling and cuddling, nuzzling, hugs from behind, neck kisses. Lots of kissing in general is lovely. Long, slow making out as foreplay. Nuzzling into someone’s palm or neck. I love the “we like each other so much that we can’t stop touching each other in any way” trope a lot.
☆ Making breakfast the morning after. Morning afters, in general. Aftercare. Sleep related things in general: comfort after a nightmare, falling asleep together, one character watching the other sleep. Characters that feel safe and cherished by others. Simple casual intimacy is fantastic and very much appreciated.

⛄ Holiday traditions—religious or otherwise. Opening a specific gift on Christmas Eve, or all gifts are open on Christmas Eve, watching specific nostalgic Holiday specials or holiday-themed movies, attending different events like seeing a performance of the Nutcracker ballet or seeing the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert. Traditions specific and unique to characters that others uncover.
🎄 Winter mythology and folklore: pagan origins of Christmas, winter sprites and spirits, beliefs brought over from the old country, Krampus, Jack Frost. Darker, more mystical side of the holiday, with themes of death and rebirth. Retellings of stories and fairy tales, such as: The Little Match Girl, The Snow Queen, A Christmas Carol, The Gift of the Magi, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.
⛄ Winter activities: snowball fights, building snowmen, making snow angels, ice skating, skiing, staying indoors by a fire, watching the snow fall, blizzards and storms, going sledding, going on a sleigh ride, driving around or walking around the neighborhood to take in the light displays, escaping to a cabin in the woods.
🎄 Holiday Angst. Unhappy memories and bad associations with the holidays. Characters not liking the holiday season due to past trauma or family history.

Characters learning to make their own traditions and working through their issues, their significant other helping them to create better memories and associations.

↳ DNWs: I prefer not to read about excessive abuse, but I understand it’s inclusion if necessary to the story. I like reading about the aftereffects of abuse, of trauma, but sometimes the actual abuse can be a bit much, so I’d prefer more implications and reference over on-screen abuse.
Caveat: this is waived for any dubcon or noncon-heavy ships and prompts, such as things involving my parent/child requests, or Patrick Hockstetter, who is his own warning.
Mentally ill or neurotypical or disabled characters treated as a burden or better off dead or elsewhere—it’s fine if they're experiencing ableism from outside sources, but I don't want the whole fic to be about that.
Misogynistic/whorephobic dirty talk i.e. bitch, whore, etc. This DNW is waived for characters like Henry Bowers or Patrick Hockstetter, who would use those words. I prefer praise kink and humiliation-esque words like slut, cock slut, and cocksucker more.
Unrequested feminization of male character. I love characters exploring gender expression and crossdressing, but I don’t like male characters being referred to as “little girl,” or having their asshole referred to as a cunt or a pussy. Characters describing a male character’s features as “like a girl” is okay.
No deathfic unless the characters die or have died in canon, or a villain is being killed. Referring to the major character deaths that occur in canon and exploring those after effects is okay, but otherwise, I’d rather not read it. I don’t consider it deathfic if someone dies and then comes back in the same fic. Graphic depictions of child death, except for those embedded into the canon i.e. Georgie Denbrough’s death.
Graphic animal cruelty or death, especially done to cats; I’d especiall rather no pet death be included. This DNW is waived in the case of werewolf or vampire AUs where the monster hunts down woodland creatures as prey and eats them.
Extreme underage (12 years old and below). I do, however, like underage—both in the form of age gap pairings, and fumbling teenagers exploring their sexuality together.
Unrequested non-con (extreme dubious consent okay, or just regular dubious consent i.e. messy and fucked up stuff with one character taking advantage of the other, capital R "romantic" necrophilia, or “we all got drunk and had sex together, whoops”), violent rape, and unaroused or non-orgasming characters.
Themes and tropes to avoid: love triangles, completely unrequited love—pining and obliviousness are encouraged, unrequested non-canon pairings (background canon ships are fine), unrequested AUs.
Rigid top/bottom roles—focusing on only one person topping or bottoming for the duration of the fic is fine, this issue for me comes in where characters are defined by being a “bottom” or a “top,” leaving no room for potential switching.
My squicks are: watersports, scat, vomit, heavy or formalized D/s dynamics, exhaustive discussions of consent, humiliation (sexual & verbal humiliation is fine, but I have a strong sense of second hand embarrassment, so please no one going out of their way to embarrass or humiliate a character in another way, especially in public), bestiality (xenophilia in terms of sentient monsters, on the other hand, is encouraged), feeding kink, weight gain, forced feeding, forced dieting, sex-with-foods.

↳ SHIP: Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon/Ben Hanscom/Eddie Kaspbrak/Beverly Marsh/Richie Tozier/Stanley Uris
***NOTE: Given the formatting of these prompts, I may prompt only one configuration of Losers together, but unless the prompt is specifically about a situation with Eddie and/or Stan dead, feel free to amend it to OT5/OT6/OT7 as you see fit. Another note: I really love poly!Losers who are all in love with each other, and I ship ANY combination of them. If anything in the below list of prompts sparks something for any of the other Losers ships I requested, feel free to amend the prompt to fit the couple or moresome.
I want loving group sex orgies set after Stan's death, or prior to his death, or AUs where he doesn't die, or AUs where he and Eddie don't die. I’d love something about how the intensity of their connection blurs the line of friendship into something more indefinable. Stan (or Eddie, even) don’t have to be present. I’d be fine with OT6 or OT5 for canon based settings.
Sex pollen orgies! I kinda love the thought of Richie getting hit by sex pollen and the only one to do so, and all his friends have to fuck him. I love it especially for his internalized homophobia and his sheer terror at his friends knowing that he's gay and how he's being forced to express his desire openly and trying so hard not to, and everyone reassuring him it's okay. But any specific single character getting sex pollen’ed and all their friends having to fuck them would be great.
Or maybe everyone is sex pollen’ed! The orgy can be at the Orient itself, however inappropriate that would be—-maybe bystanders don’t see anything for the same reason why adults couldn’t see the blood in Beverly’s bathroom, or maybe they actually get thrown out for lewd behavior. Or maybe it doesn’t hit them until they arrive at the inn and they have an orgy in the living room area. You're welcome to lean into the more fucked up aspects of this! Maybe they all feel guilty afterwards, especially if Stan is there and he cheated on his wife. Maybe they're all sore and chafing and have trouble walking, maybe the loss of autonomy upsets characters like Beverly or Eddie and others. But I do want them to eventually be okay in this scenario.
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 Chüd requires group sex, or they defeat Pennywise by harnessing the power of love...via group sex.
Or! Mike suggests an orgy as a team building exercise, to help unlock their memories, or draw them closer together so they can better do the Ritual of CHUD. Or they can only defeat Pennywise by having an orgy first—maybe there’s a kind of sex magic they do to bind them all together or cast a protection spell over them, but they all need to bang each other for it to work.
Or maybe the ritual requires them to have sex for a certain length of time, and Mike provides them with an endurance supplement to keep them going. By the same token, drugged, vision quest surreal hazy orgy sex. Mike did not mean for this to happen but now everyone is climbing on top of him and grinding on him and making out with him and each other and he just has to wait for the drugs to run their course.
Or they have an orgy to bond them all closer together so they don't forget each other. Or instead of the sewers and the Neibolt house collapsing in them, they're trapped there and having sex together unlocks the way out. I would enjoy a fuck or die, or sex pollen esque scenario in the sewers, but honestly, I just want the Losers to tenderly, desperately, reaffirm their bond and how much they love each other with sex.
Post-film: they all get together once a year for an orgy to reestablish their bond. They are desperate not to forget each other again.
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 wouldn’t like this to replace the blood oath, so having them do both would be great. I don’t actually hate the book’s conceit of having a gangbang/orgy as a coming of age metaphor, I just wish it wasn't so hetero and they were older, so I invite you to write a similar concept with older teenage losers.
I’d love anything where one of the Losers thinks they’re plotting an orgy and seducing the others, but the others are seducing them in turn. It can be any one of the Losers, but I have a fondness for Bill trying to seduce all his friends and doesn’t realize they’re seducing him back.
Maybe it's prom night and Bill rents out a giant hotel room for them all to have an after party that turns into a drunken, giggling teenage orgy. Maybe they all agree to lose their virginity to each other and decide the best way is in a group situation. Maybe one of them is leaving and moving away—Bill or Ben or Beverly or any other loser—and they all get together for a last hurrah, last loser hang out that turns into group sex as everyone wants to say goodbye to each other.
NOTE: I know Beverly leaves first pretty much almost right away in canon, but I like to hand wave that and say her aunt moved to Derry, instead, or some other excuse, so I can have more Beverly and the rest of the Losers time.
In terms of Beverly, I really like the whole town thinking Beverly is a slut and accusing her of sleeping with all of her male friends, including her father, so she decides to own it and lose her virginity to them. She may as well do the thing everyone accuses her of, and get something out of it. I would love for Beverly to think she’s just going to be used for sex and not expecting much—-not that the boys would treat her badly, but maybe she didn’t think sex would be all that great for a girl—and then all the boys overwhelm her with love and orgasms and she cries a little.
The Losers being extremely codependent teenagers and the OPOV of how tight-knit they are. Maybe rumors about Beverly and her six boyfriends. Silly teenage games like spin the bottle, or truth or dare, or seven minutes in heaven that they play together as a joke, but turns serious and into something more. Childhood hijinks. Teenage dirtbags, and hazy adolescent summer memories. High school together. Horrible, bittersweet nostalgia.
I’d love anything regarding their post-Pennywise trauma and the hurt/comfort of it all. I honestly just want a big Losers group cuddle pile.
Anything that fills in the gaps between the first movie and the second movie. Adulthood, college, high school years. At what point did they all lose touch with each other? How long did it take for them to lose their memories of each other? Did something ever remind them of each other even while they were out living their adult lives? Bev catches Richie's stand up on a Netflix special? Eddie picks up a copy of Bill's book and has some half vague memory of him he can't quite hold on to? I love the thought of all of them reading Bill's books, even though they don't even like horror. I want them constantly drawn to each other, but not knowing who they are to each other.
All of them intensely missing someone they can't remember. Like a part of them is missing and they can’t figure out why.
Post-second film (with Eddie and/or Stan alive, if you’d like) fic! I'd love to see all the Losers sort of intertwined in each other's lives going forward, like agreeing to meet up again annually, keeping in touch with one another, spending the holidays together. They have found their found family and they get to keep each other now. All the Losers keep in touch with one another, making sure they constantly meet up again, visiting each other yearly at various different points, sending gifts, skype chats, group chats. Just doing their best not to forget each other again. Them becoming each other’s family.
I’d love anything that explores how they all seem tied to each other and seem to be soulbonded somewhat. Maybe that is the result of the blood oath or the group sex? I’d love the thought of the blood oath causing a soulbond and now they can all feel each other’s pain, feelings, emotions, including sexual desire, lust and orgasms. Maybe this leads to telepathic sex of some kind—one of them masturbates, which means everyone else gets horny and they all start to masturbate. Or two of them have sex, which means they all get hit with the force of everyone’s psychic orgasm.
Riffing off this, Beverly gets her period, which ripples throughout all the other boys due to soulbond. Because everyone can now very much feel her pain, they all take turns eating her out, or at the very least, one of the losers eats her out to soothe both her pain and everyone else’s.
Dreamsharing! Going off the soulbond orgy idea, maybe they keep wandering into each other’s dreams and sometimes this leads to weird hazy dream sex with impossible feats. This would be especially cool if they were to leave Derry, but still see each other in their dreams and reunite in that shared dream space.
Or, on a darker level, they’re all stuck in a dark dreamscape that they need to work together to escape or at first, they don’t know they’re trapped because they’re all happy to be together. I’d also love it if they all experienced each other’s nightmares, like someone has a nightmare and the others experience it as well— or I’d love it if one of them doesn’t know they’re having a nightmare and the others have to help snap them out of it.
Having an orgy after they’re all soulbonded to just feel how intense it can get with the pleasure feedback loop due to the fact they can feel everyone else’s arousal and orgasm.
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.
I’d love anything that explores the Losers as a witch coven. I’m not really sure how this would go, but maybe a little bit of The Craft where they keep collecting members, or maybe something similar to The Covenant where each of the Losers comes from an old witch family. I’d love to see them come together and practice magic together!
Shapeshifters! This usually goes hand-in-hand with werewolves for me, but I’d love the Losers as a pack of different were-creatures, like werecats! Or maybe they each turn into different animals, or some can shapeshift their features to look like someone else.
Incubus AU! I just think this is neat. Please turn one of my faves into an incubus and not have them know they’re different as they’re weirdly hornier than they usually are. Incubus!Mike would be hot, as maybe a side effect of being in Derry too long. Or Eddie survives Neibolt, but doesn’t realize he’s turned into an incubus in the process. Succubus!Beverly is also a great idea and I think it’d be really interesting combined with her issues around sex. But feel free to make it any Loser.
And AU of The Old Guard is something I’ve wanted since I watched the movie. Usually I don’t want AUs where the Losers didn’t grow up together, but I’d be fascinated with them slowly finding each other throughout the centuries and being an ancient family of immortals with each other. But if you don’t want that exact mythology, I am mostly interested in them being immortals together and I love the body horror aspects of healing for horrific injuries instantly and still feeling that pain.
Vampire AUs make me so happy and I really want vampire Losers incestuous family orgy. Maybe one of them gets turned into a vampire as an adult and gets their memories back because of it, then tracks down the rest of the losers to turn them, too, and give them back their missing memories. Maybe they seduce the rest of their friends into being a vampire one by one, or as a group. Lean into all the bloodplay and sexy blood sharing. Or teenage vampire Losers deciding to live their best Lost Boys life.
I love the thought of them being vampires breaking down boundaries and barriers and taboos and everyone ends up low key attracted or into each other. They don't all need to have sex at the same time for this scenario, but maybe constantly bed hopping and sharing partners and extremely codependent with each other, all of them sleeping in a giant vampire nest/cuddle pile.
Or serial killers instead! Maybe the losers are a teenage gang of serial killers instead, maybe it’s a no Pennywise AU when the real horror is them, or maybe they became serial killers due to the influence of Derry. I would like all the bloodplay, knifeplay, dangerous risky sex and the Losers being codependently fixated on one another, and murdering for each other, especially if they leave each other dead bodies as gifts. Like the vampire AU prompt, they don’t need to all have sex at the same time, but I love this scenario for constant bed hopping, partner sharing, codependence between the seven of them. The odds of seven budding serial killers in the same town is so low so maybe they think the seven of them are destined to be together?
Maybe they grow up to be serial killers as adults, and realize this when they come back to each other again after 27 years. Finding each other again with the same hobbies is a relief and a comfort for them, but is bad for everyone else. Adult Losers planning serial killer weekend camping trips!
Evil Losers! Losers who were kidnapped and raised by Pennywise! Or Losers who are the bullies and the Bowers gang are the victims. Or Losers come face-to-face with their dark, mirrorselves and forced to confront the darkest parts of themselves.
Werewolf AU! Where the Losers are a wolf pack! I especially love tropey pair bonding and heat sex, or maybe full moon sex in this case. I would love to see anything where the Losers see themselves as pack and mates, and all of them get very horny pre-full moon and end up having sex. Or post-full moon sex in the wood. Or just sniffing or scratching or biting or scent-marking each other, or rutting against each other and humping each other. Lots of feral behavior. I don’t like Alpha/Omega dynamics and prefer werewolf packs to take after actual wolves with thinking of their pack as a family with no set hierarchy. Losers sleeping in giant wolfish cuddle piles!
I don’t usually request this, but I’d love an omegaverse AU for the Losers. I really don’t have a big preference for who are the alphas and omegas, I just love the thought of socially acceptable orgies for un-mated alphas and omegas and would love that for a losers-wide orgy. Maybe they all agree to fuck each other or be friends with benefits without actually being together or mating. Maybe the alphas in the group have to fuck the omegas every time a heat happens. Or maybe there is only one alpha, like Bill, and all the rest are un-mated omegas. Every heat, he has to fuck them all to help out. It’s exhausting.
Time Loops! I love the horrible implications of time loops! I’d love to see a Loser having to relive the events of Ch1 or Ch2 over and over again, each loop more horrific than the last. Or maybe they’re all looping together and have to figure out how to get out of the loop or stop it. Maybe each loop, a new one of them dies. Or maybe Pennywise has stuck them in a time loop to wear them down and make them unable to defeat IT.
Or similar to the time loop prompt, perhaps a Loser is trying to set the world to rights and is looking for a dimension where nothing bad happened, and they’re all happy and alive, but all they find is misery and despair, while they unravel their own timeline.
I’d also love the Losers thinking they’re all happy and safe and they made it—then the world starts to feel off, or like something is wrong and they’re worried it’s their paranoia. But they know they should trust their instincts.
The remaining Losers go into the Underworld, or the afterlife, or weird cosmic alt-world to get back Eddie and Stan. Whatever god or creature forces them to jump through hoops and undergo trials to get them back.
Or! ritualistic, creepy sex to bring back Eddie and/or Stan. Maybe the Losers have to do an orgy together to create intense life energy, or maybe they have to fuck their corpses, to bring their dead friends back to life. I really love having to keep having sex to keep alive i.e. having to have semi-regular orgies to keep Eddie and/or Stan alive, like once a month. Or having to regularly gangbang Eddie or Stan to keep them alive, as a stipulation of the ritual.
If Eddie and Stan come back wrong in some way, that's okay with me. I love the thought of them coming back as revenants, or some type of zombies that have to eat people to stay sane, or keep from rotting, and the Losers love them anyway. Maybe they keep providing people for them to eat. The losers loving their undead shambling friends regardless of how creepy and murderous they are is A+. Or maybe what’s off isn’t immediately apparent and more subtle. I’m not saying you should go full Pet Sematary, but I’d love it if bringing them back had major consequences.
Ghosts! Stan and Eddie as ghosts! I would also love ghost sex! Group sex and orgies with ghost!Stan and/or Eddie would be amazing and sad, and a little scary. This can be just sex for the sake of it, or sex with ghosts to bring them back to life for ritualistic purposes. Or maybe when they all get together, the ghosts of Eddie and Stan linger around them. Maybe they can see them, maybe they can touch them. But they all have to be together for it to work.
On that note, I’d also just love a post-apocalypse AU where only the Losers are left alive and have to take care of each other at the end of the world. Maybe it is literally just the Losers, and no one else in the world is alive, or maybe they only have each other and can’t find other survivors. This can be any kind of apocalypse—zombies, or environmental, or maybe by defeating Pennywise, they ended the world.

If Eddie Must be dead, I would very much like Ben and Beverly to take care of Richie. I would really love to see all three of them together in a Post-Chapter 2 world. Maybe Richie moves in with them and is crashing on Ben’s couch. Maybe they drag Richie on the boat trip. Maybe none of them want to be alone after everything. I thought the movie didn’t have enough time to show everyone mourn who they’ve lost, so I would love to see that in fic, with Ben and Richie and Bev all mourning Stan and Eddie.
They have a grief, but happy-to-be-alive threesome. I would love a threesome—maybe with Bev and Richie ganging up on Ben, or Richie, not really attracted to Beverly, but helping Ben, or something with Richie in the middle and Beverly holding him as Ben takes him apart and makes Richie cry. I see it as a mutual V-shaped thing, with both Ben/Richie and Bev/Ben coexisting together at once, while Richie loves Beverly in deep, indescribable ways. I would love it if it became a long term thing.
Honestly, just Beverly and Ben trying to help Richie move on and take care of himself, but also love all over him after he comes out. Or the same with Ben or Beverly at the center. Ben and Richie helping her move out and protecting her from Tom would be wonderful.
I really loved the fake out kiss between Bev and Richie in the movie (and Ben’s face!) and would like more of that, like the opposite of gay chicken. Hetero chicken. Post-Chapter 2 with Richie and Bev being more comfortable to fake out hetero things and Ben being pleasantly confused about it would be delightful.
One of my absolute favorite moments is Richie hugging both of them after Ben kisses Bev to get her out of the deadlights. The thought of Richie shipping them from that age is cute and I would just like to see more of them in a more teenaged, high school context.

↳ SHIP: Ben Hanscom/Eddie Kaspbrak/Beverley Marsh/Richie Tozier
I’d love to see domestic post-Chapter 2 poly-shipping things! Either established relationship or getting together fic. Maybe Ben/Beverly and Richie/Eddie have a foursome together, coming together as two couples. Or maybe none of them are together until they spend time together and that leads to a foursome. Richie trying to help Beverly and Ben get together, Ben trying to nudge Eddie and Richie together, all four of them coming together instead.
Ben invites both Richie and Eddie to his yacht with Beverly. The three of them have a very thank-god-we’re-alive-and-have-each-other type honeymoon phase.
Ben and Eddie work out together while Richie and Beverly watch. And get hot and bothered.
The three of them help Beverly move out.
Snowed in. Spending a week at Ben’s place. They all get a little too cozy with one another.
Any kind of body worship porn for any of them. Ben Hanscom love hours, when they make sure he knows how loved and appreciated he is. I was very into by how openly appreciative both Richie and Eddie were of Ben in the Jade of the Orient scene, and I really want more of that, but porny and with Beverly. Or the boys all gather around to get Beverly off and make her come over and over.
Or something with Eddie or Richie being shown how attractive they are to the other three, especially if one of them was insecure about it. I’m really especially Eddie feeling like there’s nothing hot about him and all his friends trying to show him that’s not true. I don’t really care how it happens—maybe a double date, maybe a birthday, maybe it’s shortly after canon or a few years later after constant four way flirting—but I want it.
I also love the thought of Richie and Eddie trying to seduce Ben together—only he got together with Beverly finally so they have to abort the plan, but Beverly finds out and wants in. Or Richie and Eddie help Beverly seduce Ben because Ben won’t make a move and this ends up with foursomes.
The four of them in a post apocalypse AU. Surviving together and gradually coming together in a four way couple way.
I’d also love to read something when they’re still teenagers. Maybe the four of them get snowed in somewhere on Christmas Eve. Maybe their families are gone so they spend Christmas together. Maybe Beverly runs away from Portland to see Ben and Richie and Eddie. I’d love an ill-advised foursome that’s loving nonetheless, especially if this is everyone’s first time, or sweetly developing a poly relationship together and not realizing. Maybe it’s a four way first time experimenting with each other.

Post-Chapter Two fic where Ben and Beverly don't get together (or haven't gotten together yet) and Ben goes to stay with established relationship Richie/Eddie, or Richie and Eddie visit him in his huge house. The three of them falling into a poly relationship together, or simply just a sexual one.
I’d love a fic that focuses on Richie and Eddie being very impressed with Ben, and both really wanting to fuck him, so they agree to seduce him together.
Teenage era shenanigans! Slowly, the three of them come together as a throuple. Or Richie and Eddie becoming a couple and both of them slowly seducing Ben into a relationship with them. Maybe Beverly has moved away by now and they're trying to cheer Ben (and each other) up.
For something seasonal, I'd love for Richie, Eddie, and Ben to be snowed in Ben's very big house just around Christmas. The three of them being stuck together leads to getting drunk and fooling around. Or cute things like bed sharing, snowball fights as kids (or adults!), decorating trees for Christmas together, sleepovers, etc.
I'd also love to read something college age-era for them. Maybe an AU where the three of them find each other, or an AU where they don't forget and Ben ends up their college roommate. Or they all meet somehow during the time their memories are lost, and end up falling for each other.

↳ SHIP: Bill Denbrough/Ben Hanscom/Beverly Marsh
I really love the way the films present this “love triangle” in the sense that both Bill and Ben are never openly jealous or resentful of the other, which is really refreshing, honestly. I like how Bill and Ben can be friends and work together without issue. I love that they both respect Beverly’s feelings and don’t pressure her to “choose.” I feel like this a strong foundation for a poly triad dynamic, so that’s kind of what I’m leaning into.
I would love anything with them growing up and kind of figuring out that all three of them really like each other and kind of navigating the idea that they could all be together. I like to live in the AU land where Beverly’s aunt moves to Derry instead of Beverly moving to Portland so they all can go to High School together, so feel free to waive the canon context of Bev’s move for this. Bill comes off like he’s in love with all of his friends, so I’d love to see him kind of pursuing Ben or kissing him unexpectedly and Ben trying to work out how he feels about Bill.
This of course could lead to Beverly taking both of them to the prom. Beverly has two hands!
Or you could work with an AU where they stay together post-Derry and try to figure out how this throuple works without really knowing that this is a thing people do. I’d love to see them fumbling and trying to work out that yeah, all three of them want to be together and not just “share” Beverly.
I’d love a version of Beverly sleeping with Bill from the book, but only it’s all three of them have sex together in the inn and the fallout (or just aftermath) of that.
Or a post-canon fic where Ben and Beverly have gotten together, 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.
If you wanted to write a fucked up fic where Bill and Ben plot and carry out the murder of Tom Rogan, then I wouldn't mind at all.

↳ SHIP: 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 subsumed 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 Richie and Eddie are 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.

↳ SHIP: Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon/Stanley Uris
Honestly, I ship Mike with both Bill and Stan, and could maybe be into Bill and Stan being a thing, but I just want everyone to love Mike and crush on him at the same time. I’d love something set when they’re teenagers and Bill and Stan are always hanging around the farm, staring at Mike while he does farm work and then getting put to work by Mike’s grandma. I’d love anything where Mike’s grandparents realize first that those boys have a crush on Mike and Mike being all, no you’re being silly!
I like the thought of Stan trying to low key woo Mike without telling him and then Bill shows up as well, think they're just hanging out as friends (but Bill would also like to woo Mike AND Stan). In general, I would love to read teenage boyfriend shenanigans, either prior to getting together or after, trying to make poly work without knowing what poly even is.
Or an AU where all three of them stay behind in Derry, and slowly fall into bed with each other because they have no one else.
I’d love a take where none of them lose their memories—maybe they killed Pennywise for real that first time? Or maybe they didn't lose their memories for some reason—and they all keep on and off dating each other until it shakes out into an actual threesome.
Or if you want to try something established, I’d love anything where the three of them try and go on dates, like Stan taking both of them bird watching or them sleeping out in one of the fields on the farm and stargazing, or Bill talking out his ideas for stories out to them. Just them being all comfortable together.
I would really love to watch them fall in love and come together at any point in their lives, and I know that's a lot for a 1000 word exchange, so it's fine to leave it UST or unspoken, but I really would like to see what a three way relationship looks like between them and how they work that out.

↳ SHIP: Eddie Kaspbrak/Beverly Marsh/Richie Tozier
I am really okay with and happy with Eddie and Richie sitting somewhere on the Kinsey scale where they're not normally attracted to women, but Beverly is their best close friend and they're definitely into her. Or when they don't feel or experience a specific attraction to her as a woman, but still want to get her off and make her feel good. Whatever works for you!
Drunken threesomes! Either post-Chapter Two, or at some point as teenagers. All three of them getting drunk and getting into a very ill-advised threesome, especially since Richie and Eddie don't even like girls. Or you can make this sex pollen instead! Or, if you want, somehow they all end up in the same place when they can’t remember each other and end up falling into bed together.
I love the concept of teenage Beverly wanting to lose her virginity and she picks out Richie and Eddie to do it. Beverly feels safe with them both because they're gay and she knows it, which helps her feel more at ease knowing they don’t want her like that, they just love her. Maybe she would like to have sex with Ben or Bill, but is frigthened or spooked by their feelings for her and gravitates towards Richie and Eddie instead. Awkward, underage, first time threesomes! Especially if Richie and/or Eddie are also either trying to prove they're not gay or if Richie is trying to prove he can like a girl by getting Beverly off (and maybe failing or succeeding depending on how you want to approach), or maybe both of them still very uncertain about their sexuality, or their feelings for one another.
Post- Chapter Two: Beverly, getting away from Tom, hides out with Richie and Eddie. Intense emotions follow, something in that no man's land between platonic and romantic. Maybe Beverly trying to seduce one or the other and not knowing they're fully gay or mistaking them for bisexual. All three of them getting in a mess together.
Or! An AU where Beverly agrees to be Richie's beard while he is with Eddie on the down low. Beverly gradually ends up being a part of their relationship, the three of them being oddly coupley in public. Richie coming out anyway, but Beverly doesn't stop mutually dating them.
Richie and Eddie help Beverly bury a body. Could be in high school, or could be post-Chapter Two, or an AU where they went to college together. Beverly killing someone in self defense and Richie and Eddie coming together to help her out. Maybe she kills her dad, or later Tom. Honestly, I can also see all the Losers helping her, but for this ship prompt in particular, I love the thought of the three of them bound by that secret.
I’d love to see a slow burn-style relationship building piece that focuses on Richie and Beverly’s close friendship, and Eddie and Beverly’s innate sense of understanding of each other.
If you want to somehow go with a monster or magic AU, I’d love to see what you come up with for these three!

↳ SHIP: 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. Stan is always rolling his eyes at them. I'd love more of his POV, in general. I see him as the straight man in their three person group. I would love to see how a threesome develops, whether they get drunk and just started experimenting, or something a lot more deliberate happens. I headcanon that they were all friends before they all met Bill, so there’s some sandbox love history there to be mined.
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, or they go back to Derry at the same time for a holiday, or start to remember each other, if not Pennywise, or perhaps they go back for Eddie's mom's funeral.
I would adore some kind of established Richie/Eddie, who invite Stan into their relationship. If you somehow can make a domestic AU where they’re all living together, in a relationship together work, I’d love to see anything domestic.
Any high school-era shenanigans. Richie and Eddie dragging Stan on adventures, Eddie and Stan uniting against Richie for the side of reason. Eddie and Richie teasing Stan and Stan giving back as good as he gets.
I am kind of in love with 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? Or just being in close proximity to each other? Whichever!) and they end all codependent on each other. But also college shenanigans!
Stan survives his suicide attempt, whether he comes to Derry in bandages, having escaped the hospital somehow, taking his living as a sign. Or he is hospitalized throughout the entire fight with Pennywise. Eddie and Richie come to visit him and there is crying and some yelling and a lot of feelings.
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, 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.

Mike moving in with Ben and Beverly, post chapter two. I love the thought of Ben/Beverly together as a couple with Mike sort of longing to be with them both but also just happy to be near them. Mike pining for them both. Ben and Beverly making space for them.
But also none of them being in a relationship but sticking together after the events of the movie. Ben invites everyone to his home or yacht, but Mike and Bev stay the night. Someone gets drunk and makes out.
All the trauma bonding.
I’d love Mike adjusting to living in the world out of Derry and struggling, having a hard time and coping with trauma, and the other two being the only ones who understand.
Post chapter two: the three of them getting drunk together and having a threesome. Or having a spontaneous threesome without alcohol.
Snuggled together in bed. Cuddle piles that Mike thinks he’s not invited to until Beverly or Ben pull him in.
The three of them go on a roadtrip together.
Mike and Ben go with Beverly to get her stuff from her and act as her back up when she faces Tom again.
Threeway dates that Mike doesn’t know is a date.
Anything with them as kids? Even UST with them spending time together, maybe both Ben and Mike have a crush on Bev, or maybe Ben has a crush on them both, and trying to cope with that.

↳ SHIP: Mike Hanlon/Beverly Marsh
I am forever obsessed by how much Mike admired Beverly 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.
Branching off that, I’d love 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, then as 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. Maybe Beverly likes him, too. But she likes all of her boys, so she’s not sure what it means. Maybe Mike goes to high school instead of being homeschooled and they become like an almost not-actually-a-couple power couple. Like Prom King and Queen!
Or maybe an AU where Beverly doesn’t move away and stays in Derry, but either actually killed her dad by smashing his head with the toilet cover, or he survived, but now she’s avoiding home and looking for a safe place to stay. 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 just want it.
Speaking of moving to the farm, maybe Beverly starts hanging out there as a way to escape her dad and eventually she’s just invited to stay. I think the Hanlons are more aware of what Derry is and what its hiding and they would see right through the bullshit, and realize Beverly is being abused and maybe want to help?
Or maybe Beverly decides to stay behind with Mike in Derry and they grow kind of codependent and intertwined, forging a bond of two outsiders that the town reviled trying to save that very town.
I’d also like something creepier, like Mike calls Beverly telling her that Pennywise is back, knowing that she'll immediately leave Tom and run to Maine. It's not the first time he's done this.
Or! 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 (and maybe the other Losers).
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 especially with Mike not wanting to let any of his friends go again. I’d love for Mike to end up helping Beverly move out of her place with Tom, or for Mike to end up staying with Beverly in some way (feel free to have Ben/Bev not get together right away, or be poly or have threesomes).

↳ SHIP: Mike Hanlon/Eddie Kaspbrak
So after rewatching both movies about a billion times, it’s become apparent to me that Eddie and Mike were friends pre-the rock war. When they find his bike, all the other’s call Mike the homeschool kid and it’s Eddie that confirms that it’s Mike’s bike by using his name. Then after the fight, Mike leads Eddie away by holding his hand. That… is what I want to explore. This background friendship that was implied, but never fully explained or explored.
If you want to include details from the book, I really like the detail that Eddie befriends Mike despite his mother’s racist tirades against him and that Eddie likes to hang outside Mike’s church because he likes the gospel music drifting outside. I’d love anything about how they met and how they became friends, how Mike feels about Eddie and vice versa.
Eddie running away from home and hiding out on the farm! Or maybe just sneaking in through Mike’s window and staying the night. I think Eddie feels safe with Mike and I like to think Mike is a little protective. Like I love the deleted scene where Mike puts Eddie in his basket on his bike after he breaks his arm. More of that!
Kind of riffing off my Mike/Beverly prompts, I’d also like Mike realizing what kind of life Eddie is leading and he tries to “save” him from it by calling him and inducing his memories. Or maybe Mike keeps checking in on him since Eddie is so close, it could be a day trip.
Or maybe Eddie stays behind accidentally because he gets stuck taking care of his mother because she falls very ill, and being the last ones left, he and Mike kind of strike up a relationship made of codependency and loneliness.
Mike can’t let it go that Eddie died when he can figure out how to bring him back. Go as creepy as you like with this, lean into that weird worldbuilding.
Eddie haunts Mike as a ghost because no one else can see him.

↳ SHIP: Mike Hanlon/Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier
Okay, listen, you might have noticed that I like putting Richie and Eddie with a third dude loser a little—maybe a lot a little, but can you blame me when they all grow up to be babes? So I will start with my shallow prompt: I really want porn with all three of them falling into bed together. Maybe post-canon, or maybe at the Derry Inn, or maybe when they’re teens, or maybe Mike and richie hook up and Eddie’s ghost joins them, whatever you like! I’m not picky!
Richie and Eddie are established post-canon, and Mike comes to stay with them along his road trip and he decides not to leave. I’d love anything domestic and falling into a throuple situation. Or just Richie and Eddie want to thank Mike for bringing them back together—with sex.
Maybe Mike helps Richie bring Eddie back from the dead, both as an apology and because Mike himself wants Eddie back, and feelings develop through the process, with Eddie coming in and making everything more complex.
I’d love anything with them as kids, maybe Richie and Eddie are established, but want to seduce Mike because they both think he’s cute.
ANYTHING that explores how Mike feels about the two of them, his OPOV on them, coming from maybe knowing Eddie, but not knowing Richie except through stories Eddie told him, Mike slowly falling a bit in love with them.
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Mike Hanlon/Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier/Stanley Uris
My desires are really relatively simple--I would like a double date scenario that escalates into something more. I think it’d be really cute if they keep going on double dates together, whether knowingly or not knowingly (if this is pre chapter 2, and they’re still teenagers in Derry, I can see them pretending they’re just “hanging out” together and leaving Stan/Mike and Richie/Eddie as subtext that they all are aware about, but aren’t talking about out loud).
I also just like the thought of Eddie Kaspbrak as a baby swinger, who wants he and Richie to seduce Mike and Stan together. Or maybe Eddie plans this with Stan to bring their boyfriends together.
In general, like the thought of these four as the only ones left in Derry, after all their other friends have left. Maybe they’re the only ones around for senior year of high school and they just grow closer together in the absence of Bill and Ben and Beverly. I’d like to read them coming together in a poly relationship, with or without group sex, sharing partners, etc, even if they’re awkward and they don’t know what they’re doing.
The four of them as the Derry lighthouse keepers is a fantastic idea.
Other ship combos within this foursome are fine, as long as it eventually leads to a foursome!
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Mike Hanlon/Stanley Uris
I latched onto this ship when I rewatched the first movie and saw how much Mike and Stan stood by each other and comforted one another. Mike is the only one to reach out when Stan is crying at the Neibolt house and wraps him up in his arms. That part did me in and now I’d really just love anything that explores their dynamic further.
I’d love anything with them as teenagers. They’re the only ones not involved in any intra-Losers relationship drama, between the Bill/Bev/Ben love triangle and whatever Richie and Eddie are, they really only have each other as a lifeline. I’d love anything that builds on that quiet solidarity and explores their friendship that could lead to something more.
In the book, Stan likes birds and bird watches, and I kind of love that, so i’d like to see Stanley taking Michael while he goes looking for birds. There’s also a kind of headcanon that Stan is a photographer and that really hits me as making so much sense since he’s such an observer of the group, so anything to do with Stan taking pictures and Mike helping, or Stan making Mike the subject of his photos.
I don’t really want anything issue fic-like, but it would be nice to see some of their different histories and cultures coming into play, like Mike is curious about Stan’s Jewish holidays or Stan asking Mike difficult, but welcome questions, them relating on a different level than the other Losers, having quiet and deep conversations between each other. Mike bringing Stan to the farm, Stan asking Mike to attend services at the synagogue.
Anything with awkward teenage fumbling and falling in love and coming to terms with their sexuality, or figuring themselves out with each other.
Stan and Mike go to Florida after High School Graduation together. Give me the road trip, what they do, maybe their feelings come spilling out and it’s bittersweet because Stan is going away to college and Mike has to stay in Derry.
Mike remembering Stan throughout the years. Mike writing Stan letters he never sends. Maybe he gives them to him when he sees him again.
Stan staying in Derry with Mike. both of them trying to work together to defeat IT/Pennywise, but also Mike trying to hold Stan together. I am fine with you including suicide attempts and Stan’s struggle with depression while Mike tries to desperately hang onto him.
Instead of calling Stan, Mike remembers Stan is more skittish and has more Pennywise related trauma, so he makes time to go fetch Stan in person. Cue Mike showing up on Stan’s doorstep and Stan is confused as to why this mysterious and handsome stranger is there.
Mike is haunted by Stan’s ghost. Stan's ghost follows him throughout his road trip.
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Don Hagerty/Adrian Mellon
I know this is cliched, but they deserved better. I really really want Adrian lives fic, maybe Pennywise doesn’t eat him, but rather he takes him down to his lair for reasons and Don joins the Losers to try and find him. I’d love the fall out of that and the hurt/comfort that will bring. Or maybe someone intervenes, like Mike, and they make it out of Derry together. Or Don gets Adrian back somehow, by whatever means you’d like. Just bring him back.
I honestly kind of fell in love with them a little more after reading the book, so if you feel like drawing some information for backstory from the novel, I would love that. I would like to see their backstory updated for the film timeline. I especially loved the detail that Adrian felt inspired by Derry and that Adrian was a writer. I liked the difference between their perspectives. Don knows the ugliness of Derry all too well, but Adrian caught onto something almost magical.
Or just give me your take on how they met and how they fell in love, then came to live in Derry. I just want to know their full story, not just the end of it.
And honestly, I’d love anything domestic with them! How their day to day lives were, how they were planning on getting out. Their hopes and dreams. Anything like that.
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Frank Kaspbrak/Wentworth Tozier
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. I really am enamoured with the idea that they were childhood friends, like Richie and Eddie, but in a less intense way. I’d love to see that sense of history play out.
Frank and Wentworth are dating in secret, and have to stop when Wentworth gets married to Maggie. I’d love to see the angsty fall out of that. I also like affairs, open relationships, and polyamory, though so if you want to lean into those things, feel free! If you wanted to resolve the love triangle with a similar arrangement, I’d love to see that.
I’d love to see something set after they had a youthful affair and Frank comes back with his new wife, and Wentworth is concerned with how things are going, which gets himself way too involved in things he shouldn’t and draws himself closer to Frank.
I have a headcanon that Frank didn’t die of a terminal illness, but was murdered by Sonia via slow poisoning, so if you want to play with that idea, I’d love it to pieces. Maybe Wentworth is haunted by Frank’s ghost and has to figure out what happened to help Eddie.
An 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.
Of course, I’d love any sort of monster AU!
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: 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). Or Frank and Wentworth BOTH get drafted, and they end up having a torrid affair overseas and Went brings Frank back with him into his marriage.
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 and Wentworth being siblings together, and sharing a partner together. Especially if they want to stay in each other’s lives, so if Frank and Maggie can’t be together openly, but 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 Richie/Eddie or the parents low key supporting Richie/Eddie is encouraged!
Monster AU free space!
[return to the top]
↳ SHIP: Maggie Tozier/Andrea Uris
My needs are really very simple: I really want Derry mom affair fic! Andrea and Maggie meet 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 bring Richie or Stan over to the 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 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. Either as teenagers, or later on in life.

WARNING: I’m placing my incest, dubcon/noncon, and generally more fucked up prompts here, so you can ignore them if you’d like.
↳ SHIP: Bill Denbrough/Georgie Denbrough
Well, I am being shameless and requesting this. For the record: I don’t want anything to happen pre-canon or anything before Georgie is a teenager, but I am really fascinated how fixated Bill can be on his brother and I would love to see it taken to its darkest conclusions.
I’d love any and all fic where Georgie lives, but he isn't okay. Maybe he was saved from Pennywise initially, or maybe Bill really did find Pennywise's lair when they went to go rescue Beverly, but it's been months since he's been gone and Georgie has massive amounts of trauma and has a hard time being around people. He could not remember what happened, or he could refuse to talk about it. I would love Georgie to cling to Bill (maybe he feels like he is the only one who understands him) and for Bill and Georgie to end up very codependent and all snarled up together, with Bill being the only one taking care of Georgie—maybe his parents are happy to have him back but have no idea how to deal with or take care such a traumatized kid—I would like it if Georgie were fucked up in messy ways, like violently acting out.
While I would prefer for any sexual contact to be reserved for when Georgie is a teenager or young adult, I love the thought of Georgie hitting puberty and developing a fixation on his brother that turns into a crush. I would love for Georgie to make the first move and Bill to try to gently turn him down and convince himself Georgie is just confused (Bill can have feelings, too of course, but I like Bill hating himself for it and trying desperately to repress them, and Georgie not getting it—clearly you are the only person in the world who even remotely gets what I went through, Bill!). I would like for older, adult or teen Georgie to try to make friends or date, but he can't connect or bond with anyone else, so it always goes back to Bill. I imagine Georgie is missing an arm and Derry isn't very kind to kids who are different to begin with.
If Georgie's been in the deadlights, I like the thought of him bringing a bit of Pennywise back with him, or hearing Pennywise in his head. Kind of similar to what happened to Henry Bowers, but maybe not so hopelessly doomed? I would love to see Georgie have blackouts or missing time, or maybe he gets violent in ways that scare his parents and they try to send him to Juniper Hill. Maybe Bill runs away with him to keep Georgie from being taken away and now they're on the run.
I can see Bill being the one who stays in Derry to stay with Georgie in this verse, and thus maybe he and his brother are holding down the fort for everyone else, but it also just makes them even messier and fucked up people.
I love the thought of Bill encountering a Georgie from an alternate universe where Bill died instead, especially when Bill is older and he doesn't fully recognize this older looking Georgie. Maybe Bill gets stranded in that alternate universe, or maybe that Georgie gets stranded in the canon universe, or maybe they meet in some crack in the universe, or only in dreams, but I definitely want a messy complicated weird sexual relationship to develop due to them desperately missing each other.
Or maybe an AU where Pennywise doesn’t target Georgie and Bill, but because they’re still in Derry, their parents are still influenced to be neglectful parents, so Bill takes up the slack in raising Georgie. This leaves Georgie with a massive fucked up crush on his big brother.
Pennywise giving Bill creepy Georgie-oriented nightmares throughout his life, especially after Bill is an adult, or when he comes back to Derry. I would love it if he took Georgie's form to taunt him about "Hey your fixation on your brother is like, super creepy, and I'm an evil clown." I want him to take an adult form, or at least, older teenager form, if he's gonna sexually taunt Bill and be sexually aggressive towards him.

↳ SHIP: Henry Bowers/Patrick Hockstetter
I like these two as deeply fucked up, damaged, villains in love. I see them as a dark mirror foil to the Richie/Eddie dynamic, so I am interested in the ways they push each other and pull on each other, and how their power dynamics work with Patrick too free and wild, and Henry as a repressed powder keg, ready to erupt. For most of my prompts, I do like some level of genuine reciprocal emotion, even if it's deeply disturbing and fucked up!
Backstory! I am really curious how they came together. Did they grow up together? Were they always aware of each other throughout their lives ? Did they not become friends until Henry formed his gang? How does Henry’s status as the Sheriff’s son affect their relationship?
Getting drunk, high, blowing stuff up at the junkyard, leading to make outs and more.
I’d love anything with them forming a Bonnie & Clyde dynamic. Henry and Patrick, going off on their own little life of crime together, running away from Derry and letting loose on the world. Maybe they do something TOO much even for Derry and have to leave together. I'd love a violent, terrifying road trip of two scary wild teenage boys, trying to outrun Derry together.
Bullying the losers as foreplay. The bullying doesn't need to be sexual (though feel free to combine this with the Patrick/Richie/Eddie prompts, if you like, I am all for dubcon/noncon Richie/Eddie/Patrick/Henry foursomes, or smaller permutations involving Henry), but maybe both of them getting aroused and turned on by terrorizing school children and hurting people, and end up fucking afterwards: rough handjobs, rushed blowjobs, bent over and fucked over Patrick's car. Arousal from killing or violence is also great—though feel free to apply that to any prompt!
Patrick 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.
Henry is deeply ashamed of his scars and bruises and marks from his father, and not wanting Patrick to know, but Patrick pushes past his boundaries and gets under his skin. Patrick leaving sexually-charged kisses on all the marks he has.
Patrick murdering Henry's dad for him. Patrick making Henry do it while he watches and gets hard. Patrick fucking Henry next to the dying, bleeding out corpse of his father. Or for something really fucked up, Patrick tying Butch up and then having his way with Henry in front of him, all the while talking about how good Henry is for him and how Henry belongs to him. Then maybe they kill him together after. Patrick angry Butch keeps hurting what’s his to hurt.
The Bowers Gang as a gang of serial killers, which honestly isn't really that far off from canon. Maybe in this AU they're actually killing children and responsible for the disappearances. Henry and Patrick getting off together after a kill, feeding into each other’s manic and adrenaline-fuelled energies. Or maybe only Patrick is a lone serial killer and starts seducing Henry into being a serial killer with him. Maybe they take their killing spree on the road.
I also love the Bowers Gang as a little, vicious, feral wolf pack. Maybe Henry turns them all, or maybe Patrick becomes a werewolf and turns Henry, who in then turns Victor and Belch. Patrick turning Henry to bind them closer together is great. Patrick training Henry to be a werewolf and hunting and killing together is fantastic. Rough sex to stave off violent urges works here, though possibly, they don't want to stave off their violent urges, but rather give into them and turn them on each other. Cue violent and bloody, half-turned werewolf sex on the edge of a full moon.
Sex worker AU! Patrick prostituting himself, and Henry watching him, either on purpose or accidentally. Henry stumbles on Patrick blowing some guy for money, and becoming angry and disgusted by it, but also turned on and eventually wanting to pay Patrick for the pleasure. Or Patrick allowing Henry to watch and jerk off in a corner during the act, or prostitution roleplay after Patrick gets found out.
OR maybe Henry is doing sex work on the side in Derry or little surrounding towns (i.e. he goes to Chamberlain or something to avoid anyone he knows) to get cash to escape his dad's house and Patrick finds out. Patrick taking advantage of that fact, paying for sex and maybe dirty talking about making Henry his kept boy. Or maybe they run away together and and survival sex work ensues, both of them looking after one another and doing jobs together.
Henry as a secret Omega! Henry hiding it from all of his gang and feeling deeply ashamed and terrified of what would happen if people find out! Alpha Patrick finding out and agreeing to keep Henry's secret, for a price: Henry letting Patrick fuck him, or knot him, or mate him. Or Patrick convincing Henry to let him knot him and promising protection in exchange. Patrick wanting to become Henry’s alpha and make Henry belong to him.
I love the thought of Patrick on Henry's leash, Patrick befriending Henry because he's always down for violence and sadism, and Henry allows him that outlet. I like Henry full of rage and willing to do a lot of things Patrick wants or suggests, but also being a little scared of him, especially his lack of limits. Henry knowing that Patrick stalks him sometimes and watches him from afar, maybe even watches him sleep, and feeling unsettled, but also strangely comforted.
For BDSM stuff, I like the thought of Patrick being a masochistic dom, egging Henry on to hurt him in ways—face slapping, pushing down on bruises, wound fingering, breathplay—and Henry going with it, but gradually becoming more freaked out. Henry as a sub is also great, but it'd probably be a bit more forced submission on his part, with Patrick pushing past boundaries or doing things to Henry that he enjoys, but didn't really agree with. I love the thought of Patrick forcing kisses on Henry because Henry will suck Patrick’s cock, but kissing is too far.
I also love the idea of Henry having to get used to Patrick touching him any which way, and never knowing if it’s meant to be a threat or a genuinely intimate touch, and finding himself slowly not caring.
In general, Patrick trying to worm his way into Henry, sexually, really works for me. I want Henry to be full of internalized homophobia and acting completely disinterested in Patrick, but allowing handjobs or blowjobs from him, and then pretending it doesn't mean anything. Patrick trying to dismantle his boundaries and patiently going at it. Non-sexual demands turn increasingly sexual really works here for me, from either party. OR Patrick getting tired of Henry sending mixed signals and just going for it with Henry—forced kisses, holding him down and telling him he's hard, so he must really want this, telling him he knows what he really wants and he's tired of Henry lying to them both. Feel free to lean into all the dubcon here.
Hanahaki for these two is amazing. I like the thought of either of them coughing up flowers for the other, but hiding it. Especially Henry, who views it as a sign of weakness and doesn't want anyone to know he's pining for anyone. I really like the thought of Patrick in particular struck down with Hanahaki disease and what he’d do about it: leaving the bloody flowers on Henry's doorsteps sounds like a Patrick thing to do.
Make. Them. Soulmates. Or at least make them have a soulbond where they’re forced to feel each other’s emotions or pain, or hear each other’s thoughts. I’d love to see how these two with well-built walls deal with being so intimately entwined with one another. Patrick might be into the pain he keeps getting from Henry, in a sexual sense, but he's real sick of someone who's not him being allowed to hurt Henry. Or maybe Henry is fascinated and sickened by being privy to all the thoughts that go through Patrick Hockstetter’s head. Patrick figuring out how the bond works and experimenting on ways to heighten sensations: both pain and pleasure.
Patrick carving his name or initials on Henry. Henry returns the sentiment, neither of them acknowledging what that means. In general, any kind of knifeplay is welcome. Patrick holding a knife to Henry’s throat and fucking him, or Patrick leaning into a knife at his throat to kiss Henry. Patrick asking Henry to carve him up and make him bleed.
I love the idea that Patrick is jealous of Henry paying attention to someone else more than him and killing someone. Or Henry flying into a jealous rage and killing someone over Patrick, then acting like nothing happened. But Patrick is very turned on by the whole situation, nonetheless.
Patrick as the local drug dealer just makes SENSE. For a prompt not quite as terrifying, I'd love Patrick as Henry's weed dealer and getting high together, and Patrick using Henry's lowered defenses to seduce him or make out with him. Maybe the weed softens both their edges and for once, they just enjoy each other’s company, and maybe even snuggle.
God, I would love Patrick and Henry in some kind of fuck or die situation. Maybe by outside forces—the rest of their gang, or someone else forcing them to fuck or die as a punishment—or maybe with sex pollen. Or maybe Patrick is making Henry fuck or die as part of a game, or just because he's sadistic.
Whatever the situation is, I mainly want Henry forced to act out his fantasies or feelings for Patrick that he didn't want anyone to know about. Maybe Henry has a rape fantasy kink that he's deeply ashamed of, and Patrick decides to be a bro and give that to him, whether Henry wants him to or not. On the other hand, Patrick with a rape fantasy is fascinating and I’d love to see that explored.
Fairy tales seem like an odd fit for these two, but I’d really love to explore the dark aspects of their dynamic through the lens of fairy tale storytelling. Maybe there’s something a bit Snow White and the Huntsman about them, or Henry is Sleeping Beauty and Patrick is the dragon that guards him. I like the idea of Henry being cursed on some level, and Patrick going to great lengths to break the curse. Maybe there’s a little Rapunzel in there, too. Or some Little Red and the Wolf. I’d really love to see how combining these two with a fairy tale would look.
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.
Or something post Patrick’s death, where Henry doesn’t notice Patrick has died because he still sees and talks to him all the time.
Zombie Patrick blowing Henry in IT Chapter 2. Like old times, even though his mouth isn’t very warm anymore.

↳ SHIP: Henry Bowers/Patrick Hockstetter/Gretta Keene
I love the concept of these three being in a messy love triangle together, and trying to resolve it with a threesome, but maybe that makes it worse. I am leaning towards either Gretta or Henry being at the center of the love triangle and I really like the thought of Gretta dating Henry and gradually realizing how weird he is about Patrick, in general.
Antagonistic three way bully flirting! The three of them bullying each other as part of some strange, courtship ritual. Or the three of them getting together to bully someone else as part of a weird courtship ritual with each other and egging each other on.
I like the thought of Gretta having a crush on Henry and Patrick finding that hilarious. Maybe he tries to make it happen, as long as he's a part of it, or maybe they end up fucking while he taunts her about how Henry is his. The two of them having sex together as a way for both of them to get closer to Henry is also a really interesting concept to me.
Monster AU! Any monsters! But I think vampires and werewolves might work best. I love the idea of Gretta not knowing what Henry and Patrick are, but wanting to be a part of it regardless, and Patrick turns her and she gets in over her head. The three of them as a horrible, terrorizing monster trio.
Serial killer AU! I love the idea of them as like a three-way Bonnie-and-Clyde dynamic, but with more murder. Or maybe an AU where they’re all responsible for the child disappearances and they all want to take out the Losers.
Henry and Patrick double-penetrate Gretta. That's it that's the prompt. Maybe it's a drunk night, maybe Gretta gets to fuck Henry as long as she lets Patrick fuck her, too.

↳ SHIPS: Patrick Hockstetter/Eddie Kaspbrak, Patrick Hockstetter/Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier, Patrick Hockstetter/Richie Tozier
***NOTE: Some of these prompts would work for all requested 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.
Also, re: to my usual noncon DNW (that I removed, mainly for this prompt), 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 Richie and Eddie and messing with them, however that turns out.
As far as their ages go, I am okay with aging them up so they’re a little older (15-17), with handwaving Patrick being alive, but I am also happy to read about them at their ages in Chapter 1, just not any younger.
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, or 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 taking advantage of Richie’s internalized homophobia to blackmail him into an on-going sexual relationship. Patrick threatening to out Richie unless he blows him or lets him fuck him. Or Patrick threatening to hurt one of Richie’s friends unless he performs sexually for him.
Patrick picks up on Richie being gay, and propositions Richie for sex, reasoning to Richie that he may as well lose his virginity at some point and he’s the only other person into dudes Richie knows. Maybe Richie is young enough that the proposition is more terrifying than appealing, or Patrick propositions him while threatening him as well, like shoving a knife in his face. I’d be into Richie agreeing right then and there, or getting away and telling Patrick no, only to come back to him later.
Patrick making all sorts of dubious advances and groping Richie in public until it escalates into more. Richie decides to go along with whatever Patrick wants to do with him, because it’s easier that way. Richie, in general, feeling ashamed and like there’s something wrong with him for his attraction to Patrick. Patrick forcing Richie to masturbate in front of him, then escalates it to touching Richie.
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, bareback, 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 take him under his wing and teach him stuff—-both violent and sexual things. Patrick as the scary big brother figure Richie didn’t want.
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.
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 discovers he’s way kinkier than he imagined. Eddie using Patrick to try to rebel and not be his mommy’s little boy anymore.
Patrick teasing Eddie, calling him a baby, giving him sweet nicknames, and treating him like a kid, making Eddie eager to show him that he’s not a child. This leads to really ill-advised sex.
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. Maybe this was discussed prior, as part of Eddie’s rape fantasy, or not.
Patrick grabbing Eddie as he’s leaving Keene’s Pharmacy, (or some other location) and dragging him into an alleyway and having his way with him. He could coerce or blackmail Eddie, or pick on him in a way that escalates to groping and making Eddie jerk him off, or mock him for being a baby who doesn’t know anything about sex, which makes Eddie want to prove him wrong. Blowjobs, or fucking against the wall is good, too. Eddie feeling humiliated after is also good. Eddie getting off and feeling fucked up about that, or Patrick forcing Eddie to get off with degrading, condescending praise about him being a slut for him.
I’d also love an AU where Eddie is the one who stays behind in Derry instead! Leaving Eddie all isolated with just his mother, and then Patrick shows up to seduce him. I would love them to end up in a toxic, fucked up, sexually charged relationship because Eddie is so desperately lonely and starved for attention that isn’t from his mom, and Patrick is happy to play around with him. I’d love for Patrick to end up attached to him on some level. Maybe Eddie proves himself to him. Maybe he and Eddie kill Eddie’s mom together, and they end up partners in crime.
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.
Dark fairy tales! I love Patrick as a villain in a fairy tale retelling, maybe a Big Bad Wolf figure, or perhaps something like a Bluebeard. Or you could be more loose and write something with the feeling of a fairy tale. Or just something based on folktales in general.
Werewolf au, vampire au, serial killer au! I promise I don’t think of all of these as the same, but I really want an AU where Patrick is a monster—-a vampire, a werewolf, a garden variety serial killer—-and takes either Richie or Eddie or both under his wing, turning them into monsters, or trying to at least. 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. Patrick either succeeds at making monsters out of Richie and Eddie, or they surprise and turn the tables on him, maybe even realizing it’s two against one and turning against him.
Sex pollen! It could be a more grounded depiction—maybe Patrick got his hands on a designer drug and decided to test it on Richie and/or Eddie—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, pinning him down and having their way with him in a horny, fucked out haze.
Patrick makes Richie and Eddie fuck or die. I am very into Patrick deciding to have “fun” with Eddie and Richie and having his way with both of them, using them against each other. He could threaten to out one of them if they don’t perform for him, or Eddie volunteers to be ‘raped’ by Patrick so he won’t hurt Richie, or vice versa with Richie. I love both of them agreeing to whatever sexual things Patrick wants to do to them to keep Patrick from hurting the other. I’d love the aftermath of this as well, hurt/comfort or recovery, or their relationship being strained because Richie is consumed with guilt for “raping” Eddie at Patrick’s behest or Eddie thinks Richie sees him as disgusting. I’m also absolutely into Patrick making Eddie fuck Richie as well!
Or maybe he’s been fucking Richie and learns 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. I’m delighted by the thought of Patrick acting like he’s doing Richie favor by pushing him and Eddie together. I love Patrick playing fucked up matchmaker.
I also love the hurt/comfort of it all, with Eddie and Richie enduring terrible things for each other, and comforting each other afterwards, holding hands, snuggling, or even holding each other through noncon scenes. I absolutely love trauma bonding.
Patrick as both Eddie and Richie’s bad touch booty call they’re both equal parts into, and disgusted by, but not knowing the other is also sleeping with Patrick. 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 where Patrick threatens 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.
Or, Patrick playing the fucked up big brother role, and kidnapping Eddie and tying him up, prepped and ready to go for Richie to have his way with. And Patrick threatens to do it, if Richie is ungrateful and doesn’t want his “gift.”
Patrick filming Richie and Eddie having 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. I really love the seedy, sleazy image of Patrick having his own giant 90’s era camcorder and coercing Richie and Eddie into making amature porn for him to jerk off to later. Especially if he pushes them to go further than they’re comfortable, or force them to verbalize and act out their own fantasies.
Patrick taking sexy polaroid photos of them, either individually, or together, and using it as blackmail for more. Patrick taking photos of come shots, asses leaking with come, faces covered in come, or one or both of them blowing him. Or spanking Eddie until his ass is all red and taking a photo of that. Patrick having sexy naked photos of Eddie and putting them in Richie’s locker to freak him out.
Patrick tying them up, or Patrick having Richie tie Eddie up. Especially if he uses their clothes, or cuts their clothes off them so they don’t have anything to wear after. I also want Patrick marking them up, especially with scars or carving his name or initials on them in a fit of possessiveness. If you want to go in a more hurt/comfort direction for this, I’d really love Eddie and Richie aftermath of that, trying to clean up the injury or reopen the scars/wounds to change them and reclaim each other.
Patrick forcing them to fuck each other at gunpoint. At some point, making Richie or Eddie fellate or deepthroat the gun, especially if it’s the first time either of them had blown anyone or anything. The gun can turn out not to be loaded, or a legitimate threat. Patrick fucks one of them with the hilt of his knife, making the other one watch.
All the “forced to watch” tropes! I love one of them watching their best friend be nonconned or dubconned by Patrick, especially if Patrick is doing degrading things to the other and rubbing it in the voyer’s face, forcing them to get off or enjoy it.
Patrick showing Eddie what a good cocksucker Richie is, trying to freak Eddie out while humiliating Richie. Patrick making Eddie blow him in front of Richie and dirty talking about how much better Eddie is at it than Richie. Patrick making Eddie come over and over while Richie watches and can’t do anything about it. I especially love humiliating dirty talk about how much the one being fucked secretly loves this and what they slut they are for anything up their ass, and feeling humiliated and degraded in front of their best friend.
I love defiant, mouthy victims, and I would love both Eddie and Richie to be constantly mouthing off to Patrick, regardless of their fear or even if that Patrick be meaner or harsher with them. I really like the thought of Richie unable to stop himself from being snarky and having to pay for it, or Patrick enjoying how feisty Eddie is and being amused by it.
Anything similar to 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, maybe with each other). 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.
I also love rape aftermath and rape recovery and all the post rape hurt/comfort too! If that’s the only thing you want to focus on, I would love that as well. Give me Richie or Eddie getting raped by Patrick and having to deal with the fall out of that, as well as hurt/comfort with each other. I love trying to hide evidence of rape from each other, angry emotions, victims trying to convince themselves they weren’t actually raped or not being able to tell right away, blaming themselves, pushing away comfort and going into denial. For example, Richie trying to hide what happened between him and Patrick from Eddie, but there are bruises on his neck or arms that Eddie sees and gets overly concerned for.
I’d also enjoy Richie or Eddie feeling protective and wanting to get revenge or get back at Patrick for what was done to them.
