EDISSY FIC REC — PART 2 

Part 1 

Disclaimer: these are almost all E rated. I’m sorry but it’s not really my fault if these two spent all their 5 minutes screentime eye-fucking each other 😔  

the streets of philadelphia by @ivy-eyed : I keep breaking my “I don’t recommend wip” rule but I really can’t help it, I am obsessed with this fic. Chrissy, Max and Steve roommate AU, they don’t know nor they like each other at the beginning and it’s just so beautiful to see them bonding and forming this unlikely found family. And of course there is the romance: Eddie here is a tattooed library page that plays guitar in a grunge band like ??? helloo I’d pay real money to see a character like that in a romcom. There’s also Lumax and Harringrove and I know the last one is not everyone’s cup of tea but really you should give this fic a try because it’s so so good. And there are all these familiar faces and references that keep showing up (Barbs is alive and sing in a band!! they hang out at a bar called “the eleven” !!! Murray’s the owner of a thrift shop called “Conspiracy Connections” !!!!) and it’s absolutely delicious. 

Legendary by broomclosetkink: okay listen, listen, I’m not even into omegaverse ??? (I was traumatised by the spn fandom back then) but this fic THIS FIC !!! If you like omegaverse you’ll absolutely love it, but even if you don’t trust me, give it a try. It’s hot and tender and so well written and the characters are so on point and the abo dynamic fits so well into the jason\chrissy\eddie dynamic. Also this is an “one-shot that feels like a multi chaps” fic because the characters and the setting are so fleshed out it seems you have known them for ages and I love when an author is able to do that !!

i’m following lightning by @slowlimbs: speaking about authors being able to write one-shots that feel like multi chaps because they’re so well written, this is an amazing vignette style fic that I adored. College AU, it shows glimpses of chrissy and eddie’s relationship and how it develops until the grand finale which is... chef’s kiss. Imho it is not easy to write about daddy kink and I often find it a bit cringe, but here it’s so well executed it made me all blushing and giggling and reading it again a thousand times. 

home-sick for familiar trees by @charmtion: saddle up homos! We are going to read E-rated fics and cry and that’s exactly what happened to me with this one. So beautiful, so poetic. It’s about missing opportunities and regrets and second chances and maybes. It’s gorgeous and melancholy and sexy. I do consider this one a milestone in the eddissy fandom and you cannon’t miss it.

in the second drawer on the right by @seicchan-art: it couldn’t be a properly eddissy fic rec without at least one seicchanart’s fics in it (please please never stop to write them). This one is about eddie’s tentacle porn, and it’s fucking cute and hilarious and not actually e-rated (see, I’m not a complete degenerate and I do enjoy smutless fic too!!).

For I Have Sinned by @slumped-in-the-arms-of-fiction: in my defense I have none. I was born and raised catholic in Italy. Like I open my window and the skyline is actually just churches. How I am supposed not to recommend this delicious drabble ??? This made me felt things. My only complain is that I am greedy and I want more.

I feel like we should also add to that post that like… Grace did more in ten minutes to show her character work and her understanding of her role than some actors do in episodes or seasons?

She seems so sweet. It’s so unfair.

You're right tbh and you should say it. I'll sing the praises of @quirly all day and twice on Sunday.

It really was a one episode part with just a handful of scenes, but you could tell Grace really gave it her all regardless of that fact. There's a reason why people love Chrissy and make art and edits of her in spite of her short screen time - and that's all down to Grace's performance and doing everything she could to make the character endearing and having us empathize/sympathize with her struggles. It wasn't just a "guest star of the week", she left an impact on the audience and on the character of Eddie... that we all felt the loss and missed her when she was gone.

In some respects it's a thankless task, but so much rested on her shoulders. If she hadn't put the care and consideration that she did into her performance, it all could have fallen apart. "Ok, this character has secret trauma... and now she's dead. Sad, sure, but I don't feel anything bc we didn't really get a chance to know her."

It all could have fallen flat and felt hollow, but it didn't... and that's all Grace, and her bringing to life what was on the page and then elevating it. You feel the loss of Chrissy, you empathize with how Eddie - and even Jason to a degree - feel. The "Chrissy, this is for you" moment is such a payoff because of it. Like Joe said, yes, Eddie had a crush on her... but that moment wasn't about her in relation to anyone else or how they felt about her. It was a tribute to her her own individual character.

A character Grace was able to bring to life and make us all love in such a short amount of time. If she hasn't done that, that moment wouldn't have been as powerful or satisfying as it was. For me, personally.

It wasn't about Eddie. Yes, he had a cool badass moment jamming out on the guitar - but. That wasn't about Eddie. Like yes it served a tactical purpose to lure the demobats away, I realize that - but it wasn't about Eddie having a cool moment. It wasn't about that to me, and it wasn't about that to his character.

Honoring her life, and avenging her death. That was for Chrissy.

Strawberry Milkshake 🍓🥛🥤

Oh it’s been years since she had a milkshake, and sharing one with Eddie is the best way to have them. She refuses to drink them any other way.

A little scenario inspired by @slowlimbs and her lovely Eddissy fic Aesthetic Chills on ao3. Thanks for fixing canon for us! :)

okay i told myself i was going to use this meme to rec some fics i haven't talked about and i am....

but FIRST, i've gotta talk about teen beat by @floggingink again. this fic, you guys. this fic. this fic! it checks so many boxes on that list. it's clever and engaging and funny and sexy. like a novelization of a john hughes movie but written by an editor of sassy magazine. my favorite hellcheer fic. probably one of my favorite fanfics period across time and space and myriad fandoms. and okay, listen, every third chapter is a jason pov and i realize that might turn some people off, BUT trust me, this is not about jason carver redemption or apologism! instead, his presence makes eddie and chrissy and their connection feel even more fully realized. also, seeing them both through his eyes--especially as things start to happen between them--creates just...the most delicious dramatic tension. seriously, if you're on the fence about the jason stuff, try giving it a read while skipping the jason chapters. (chapter 4 and chapter 5 specifically are great little stand-alone reads) but trust me, you're absolutely going to want to go back and read those chapters you skipped because they only make the eddie and chrissy stuff that much better.

and now for one i haven't recced yet:

head over heels, no time to think - this is a two fic (though i hope it will continue!!)series by roofpizza and so far it's pretty light on the hellcheer (slow-burn!) but the little bit that's there is just so sweet and full of promise. beyond that though, it's an excellent exploration of chrissy. like, her disordered eating and the stuff with her mom is all there but they don't define her. in addition to those things, we also get to see her grapple with agency and freedom and her own identity in a way that's more universal. and okay, while i love a story where chrissy bonds with robin and nancy and gets folded in with all the characters we know and love, this fic actually gives chrissy a cast of friends and connections outside of eddie that feel so special and like they've definitely been there in hawkins all along. seriously. go read it. and then beg roofpizza to write more.

some that i've mentioned before (or seen recced lots other places) that still feel essential to the hellcheer experience and worth including here: @little-scribblers-heart's infinite mixtape, @boxingcleverrr's linger, @slowlimbs's aesthetic chills, and @enoughtotemptme's someone reaching back for me

List of all the novels, novellas, audiobooks, comics, and fanfiction I read or listened to in 2022.

This is the second year I've kept a month-by-month list. Makes me feel like I've accomplished something and also helps prevent those moments of "I read a really cool book/fanfic but I can't remember what it was! DX"

In 2021, my favorite was Legendborn by Tracy Deonn.
