    This is a fix-it fic for the It movies in which a major character death does not occur. The divergence from the canon character death also allows for another change: the character in question divorces the person he was married to and starts a relationship that is popular in the fandom (the movies made it canon that one-half of the pairing had feelings but did not confirm reciprocity or a relationship). Within the first couple of paragraphs in the first chapter, the author rewrites the fatal canon event that killed the character so that he actually isn’t injured at all. This is a fix-it fic for a happy ending that avoids major character death and establishes a post-canon gay relationship.

    Hi Danielle! This is a great one! I actually read to the end and have to say that the role reversal is quite good. I normally don’t like animal transformation story, but this one is so thoughtful and in character that it did not bother me at all. In fact, the way Eddie interacts with dog Richie remedies the tragedy happened in the original source and serves as a great fix-it. However, if the audience had not seen It first, this fanfic would not be as touching and meaningful since it only narrates a happy-ending story without the audience getting the intertexual representations.

    Thank you two for your thoughts! Would you think it stands on its own? Does it hint at an alternative world/ending?

    Do you think this would legally fall into a derivative work or does it change things enough to become more of an adaptation?
