Community Recs Post!

[snickfic]

Every Thursday, we have a community recs post, like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments. This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, if you don't have a DW account to make posts of your own, or if you're just shy. :)

(But don't forget, you're also welcome to post recs directly to the comm seven days a week. :D)

So, what cool fic/art/vid have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below! Anon comments are enabled.

I've been reading a TON of fic lately for IT, and there's a lot of good fic out there but these two are underappreciated gems:

461. by MilkyBunnyBaby
On July 14th of 1984, the day before the Canal Days Festival, Don Hagarty begged his boyfriend to skip town with him.

Reccer's note: So, this is a bookverse fic, but you don't really need to have read the book to get it (Don and Adrian's story is basically the same as the movie). It's such a tender little fic about their relationship that really gets at the underlying horror and tragedy or Derry without ever explicitly stating it.

Stand Up by ginger_rude
Some months after returning from Derry, Richie decides it's time to shake up the act a little.

Reccer's note: There are a lot of great fics about Richie's stand-up act, but I think this might just be the only one I've seen that isn't a fix-it. Richie's voice is perfect, and the whole thing is sharply funny and all the more heartbreaking for it. Read it four times in a row and felt like I'd been punched in the gut every time.

Oh wow, that second fic was fantastic. Thank you for reccing!
