What could happen to Richie in 'richie gets caigjt in the deadlights fanfiction'?

It could be his friends. In many stories, friends are the ones who come to the rescue. They might have some special knowledge or power that can counter the effects of the Deadlights. Maybe they've been researching about it and find a way to break through the hold it has on Richie.

Since I haven't actually read this particular fanfiction, it's hard to say for certain. However, based on the title, we can assume that Richie is the main focus. The Deadlights are likely some sort of supernatural or dangerous element. It could involve Richie being trapped in a world created by the Deadlights, facing his worst nightmares perhaps, and the story might be about his journey to break free from this terrifying situation, whether through his own strength or with the help of others.

I don't know who the author is. There are so many fanfiction writers out there, and without more information, it's impossible to say.

Richie might cope by escaping into his own imagination. He could create these wild fantasies where he is a hero and his father has no power over him. It gives him a mental break from the reality of the abuse.

In many fanfictions, Richie is often portrayed as a very observant character. He notices things about Ash's training style and Pokemon that others might miss. For example, in some stories, he gives Ash valuable advice based on his observations.

One possible plot could be Richie's struggle to break free from the psychological hold of his abusive father. He might use his friendship with the other members of the Losers' Club as a support system. For example, he could find strength in their shared experiences and adventures, gradually building the confidence to stand up to his father.

In this fanfiction, it could be that Richie and Eddie meet again in a completely unexpected place, like a foreign country. They are both there for different reasons. Richie might be on a tour for his comedy shows and Eddie is there for some medical research. At first, they don't recognize each other. But then, something happens, like a shared memory is triggered by a local sight or event. They start talking and are amazed to see how much they've both changed yet still have that underlying familiarity. They then start exploring the new place together and rebuilding their friendship along the way.

Their relationship might start off tentatively. Since they haven't seen each other for a while, there could be some shyness. But as they start sharing stories, it could quickly warm up. They may realize they've missed each other more than they thought and become closer friends than before.

No, Richie wasn't gay in the 'It' novel. The character's sexuality wasn't depicted as such.

Whether Richie is gay in the novel isn't always straightforward. It could be left ambiguous for the reader to interpret or could be revealed gradually as the story progresses.
