It is genuinely funny to me that, in a no-UD/superpowers world, Henry Creel could be just some forty-year-old blond guy. I guess you could make him over-the-top bad in a more mundane way (he’s a serial killer or a vicious crime boss), but what if you’re writing a lighthearted AU and he’s just, like, a dick? No one in the party wants to be in his social studies class because he’s sarcastic and a tough grader. He’s a shitty landlord who wants to raise the rent on adult Chrissy’s flower shop. He’s rude to Joyce at Melvald’s so her kids decide to TP his house. The older teens are in their mid-twenties and one of them is dating him, and the age gap is whatever at that point but he absolutely kills the vibe at every gathering. I think more people should explore this dynamic.

Fake Relationship Hellcheer

It's a classic trope for a reason, and we're so lucky in the Hellcheer fandom to have some wonderfully talented writers creating work for us all to enjoy. So here's a little selection of some of our favorite fake dating (or marriage!) Hellcheer stories

Twenty-one rules by Eleanor_Gamgee

Eddie and Chrissy start fake dating to keep her ex-boyfriend out of her hair. Together they decide on twenty rules for the relationship. Eddie gives himself one extra rule to live by

Voted Most Likely to Run Away With You by @blondiest

After Eddie saves Chrissy from Vecna, they know they both need to get out of town. Fast. But pretending they're a married couple will avoid so many questions, it makes perfect sense. Right?

(Title is from Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince by Taylor Swift, which is just the perfect Hellcheer song and a lovely Easter Egg! We might do a works influenced by Taylor collection soon!)

We’re a lie (you and I) @ebongawk (makeshiftcandy)

Chrissy needs to show Jason that she is deadly serious about not wanting to date him. Dating Eddie seems like the perfect way to make him realise that.

Life after Death and Taxes by Eleanor_gamgee

A second entry from this author, with a guest appearance of Henry Creel as a scumbag landlord. Bonus points for also kind of being a coffee shop/D and D shop AU... maybe we need to do a coffee shop universe list as well
