Bughead + "this wasn’t how it was supposed to go."
Tumblr media
remember how it felt being in the sun
From these prompts - here at A03 as well - title from Time by Mikky Ekko. Bughead musings- I don’t know what this is lol.
-/-
This wasn’t how it was supposed to go, her caressing his face whispering into his skin apologies, him thumbing away the tears while he placed a palm against her cheek and tried to will his own not to fall because of this was the end, he didn’t want the moment to be blurred.
This wasn’t how it was supposed to go, him one year later sitting alone, veins drumming from three cups of coffee and stomach full from two burgers, fries, and a single grilled cheese (what she would have ordered), her silhouette imagined across from him in the cherry vinyl seat only for every passing minute to be settled further into disappointment.
This wasn’t how it was supposed to go, her arriving before him as if six years ago he hadn’t been the one waiting three hours alone, him annoyed that Veronica had chosen to sit across from her and now he has to arrange himself at a deranged angle that leaves his knees cut away from hers and his arms folded firmly against his chest. But her perfume, that’s inescapable, so every time he lifts the white porcelain cup of coffee to his lips for caffeine, he inhales peonies at the same time.
This wasn’t how it was supposed to go, her meandering up to the counter, trying to guise her regret and grief by first leaning on her heels then leaning her palms against the edge of the Formica, ordering some deli slices to go with a forgotten look in her eyes that he can’t help but offer his help to mend. And when she agrees, he hates to admit it’s the first thing that feels right in seven years.
It was the first something to feel like it was supposed to be.
But he knew how time worked, knew the mathematical additions of days to weeks and weeks to years. And seven years of distance couldn’t fall away with one touch upon her shoulder…
Could it?
He holds onto that touch as time moves forward and daily life reverts back to things feeling off, things feeling like they weren’t supposed to be.
He holds onto that feeling of her touch when she extends her arms to him and he sees all that did go right - all that seem to be as it was supposed to - them, together, happy.
He holds onto that feeling when she arrives at his front door, blotchy cheeks, smudged eyes, more tears ready to fall, her bob blonde hair tangled at the ends where she cut it, whispering out at the loudest level she could above her remorse, “I’m so sorry.”
And it feels like a memory, one that got unfolded from his denim pocket and laid before him, ensuring the wrinkles along the edges were clean before examining it. Like when he himself could see into the future, into the past, but never the present, during the time when days, weeks, years didn’t add in the right mathematical formula as per usual until he figured it out, until he brought them all right back here - to what was supposed to be.
“I’m sorry too.”
She wraps her arms around his neck, nuzzling her hair his chest, tears dampening his cotton gray shirt.
“Never leave.”
“I think time won’t let me now.”
Embracing his arms around her torso, they hold each other in the front door of an old house that was held in space for them to meet again - because now more than ever, was right for the moment - it was right for the time.

Hey! Is BSS happening this year?
Hello @smudgedbypen sorry for the late reply. Thanks for getting in touch about this year’s Secret Santa. All of us mods at the moment have a lot going on outside of tumblr so we haven’t been very organised (alongside many issues with the show which we won’t delve into on here). This means we haven’t been in the right head space to host this years event currently.
I’d be happy to organise something if everyone is calling out for it, but I’m not sure if it’s too late to drum up interest and it’s quite a task to get everyone assigned. It would have to be a very quick turnaround as real life gets in the way unfortunately 😞
I can whip something together but very very quickly (literally in a few days) if enough people respond to this but hope everyone can understand if there’s no interest why we haven’t arranged something this far.
We have talked recently about a new Bughead Appreciation Week over at @bugheadcentral so keep your eyes peeled for some stuff potentially coming 🙂
- Laura

Do you have any predictions or hopes for how bughead will eventually find their way back to each other?
sorry this is so late, love.
i don't know if i have any predictions or hopes about how they're going to find their way back more than i think riverdale is going to probably do their standard. i would assume an investigation of some kind is going to get them to work together. and we know now that there's going to be a b/j/a arc of some kind with the curse so i'd guess that could be the start of them being around each other more.
then we still have to deal with the tbk and i highly doubt archie is going to have a major role in that—he's never had any major role in any of the betty (or bughead) investigations and they're introducing a new nemesis for him so i'm sure he'll have his own brand new "save the town" plot.
i feel like, since we know the circumstances of the relationships in the vale vs dale aren't going to be the same because vale jughead changed the outcome of the bomb, i think they're going to have different pressures and issues come up at the same time they're going to be dealing with cheryl's curse, a new town bad guy, and i'm guessing the tbk among other investigations.
the show has consistently had archie and betty pick other people over each other or say they don't work even tho they should. is this the time where they stop falling back on each other? they've also consistently shown that jughead's impulsivity and willingness to put certain people over others has caused issues in other relationships, even if it's just within himself. i really don't know what they're going to do with veronica but if history has shown us anything it's that veronica is always willing to stop everything to help archie. is that going to affect her relationship going forward? history would say yes.
i mean, at this point i don't think the show is going to do anything new or different this go round. even in s5, we had the above narrative playout before the event happened. maybe there are some people who think that the show is going to really just march to the beat of a new and different drum or something but i really can't say i'm one of them. even in the 'vale there were some character dynamics that remained the same. i think that was telling, tbh.

Hey I lost a fic a while ago and I can only remember maybe the first chapter. I’m pretty sure Betty is looking for jug and she finds him at the drive in, she stays with him there all night but she has to go to church the next day, I think they kiss when she gets there idk also I think the very first line is “Juggie”. I’m sorry it’s not a lot of info but it’s all I can remember but I know it was really good. Thank you for the blue and gold page it’s so helpful and I can normally find fics by going on the tags but no luck this time. Thank you again! I appreciate it!!
I'm having a bit of trouble with this one. I think I've read it - but I figure you'll get your answer a lot quicker if I turn this over to the group. Anyone know it?
Thank you @angelofcherryblossoms for this one!
Bughead by wordgirl80 (31/? - M)
Summary: "Jughead?" Betty's voice echoed through the empty, abandoned drive-in, her footfalls splashing in the puddles. She ducked beneath the cracked awning of the snack shack, wanting to get out of the rain for a brief moment. This place was so rundown and broken that it wasn't a surprise that the town had decided to demolish it. But the wrecking crew hadn't come yet, and that gave her a little bit of hope at least. She didn't have the same ties to the drive-in as Jughead, but she understood why he wanted to badly so save it. She would help him. They could write articles in the school paper, hopefully drum up some interest.

I do get why a Betty fan might not view having sex with Archie as a deal breaker for a Bughead reunion because they are desperate not to have her story arc end like this. I don’t see any reason as a Jughead fan I should want a reunion. I’m ambivalent about the idea of a reunion with just the kiss and then dating (even shortlived). After sex , if happens, why do I care? Oh, Betty realized he couldn’t fulfill her and NOW considers Jughead worthy but still wants to be besties with Archie? No. I can’t really see why a Betty fan would even think a Jughead fan would be ok with that. 
It doesn’t matter what excuse they use to rationalize it away because in the end it’s what Betty wanted all along even if isn’t romantic or lived up to the fairytale. She wanted him, she got him, screwed over Jughead to get there, then wants Jughead back. This isn’t romantic, it’s not endearing, it doesn’t make me root for her to be with him. Even if PTSD doesn’t matter. Not everyone with PTSD falls into bed with the person who would destroy the person they claim to love the most. Jughead actually died and he didn’t use as an excuse to screw someone so...then to be expected to not only get Jughead back but maintain a friendship with Archie? lol
Please tell me why the writers think I should be so desperate to have Bughead any of this would be palatable?
To be honest I don’t want to watch the show and I won’t watch the show with this arc but if I were tempted to do so it would only be to try to drum up a large Tabby/Jug pairing to attempt to make sure Jughead didn’t have to end up with someone who slept with Archie Andrews. Though watch the show introduce back story Tabby and Judas met before and had sex too.

a good friend of mine works in marketing for the music industry (she worked with fifth harmony, most notably) and she says she has never heard of PR relationships being even close to the thing us non-industry people think they are. she’s said that of course people choose to closet themselves but it’s a personal choice and that there are promo photo ops for music getting released, but not actual relationships. do you think it’s just that she hasn’t worked for anyone who has done it or that it’s really not a thing as much as we think? (this isn’t in response to robsten cause I agree with you on them but idk)
Look the music industry is a very big concept. I think serious musicians if we can call it that don’t do this stuff much because very few musicians are trying to get recognizability in gossip/entertainment pages tbh. The music is what sells and they’re part of the image. Like Lana, Adele, Lily Allen etc - wouldn’t ever need to PRmance because their music and branding is what sells not their love life. Taylor was different because she explicitly marketed her love life - Olivia is now doing the same - but as y’all know I’m not of the belief that like it was all of it fakity fake I really only think Tay Squared and Haylor were explicitly showmances.
Where stunting and showmances happen quite widely is in film and TV because it’s not about the output/band it’s often about the chemistry of the leads so you have to sell that chemistry and everyone has to know it exists and believe in it. That said, I think the wide-ranging conspiracy network that people try to expose on Tumblr and Twitter is grossly exaggerated for sure. A lot of showmances are tbh just exaggerated real life things (this is what I’ve tried to explain, like people hook up on set because young people are horny fucks, and the marketing machine kicks in to spin it into something to get press for the film or work friendships are drummed up as BEST FRIENDS FOREVER but once the promo period ends these people forget about each other coz they were just friendly colleagues). There are also types of people/organizations who do it much more than others. For example, tween marketing often includes fake relationships (Disney, Nickelodeon, CW etc because kids love reading about their faves dating) and marketing a male celeb on a mass level often involves fakey shit whether pap walks or even just fake rumors to make them more desirable.
Disney and CW stars mostly cannot date unless it’s pre-approved. They do therefore end up mostly with one another because that’s what’s approved and encouraged. Does stuff happen? Oh for sure. They’re all hot and young and have money to boot. But is the way their relationship portrayed necessarily exactly how it is? Not really. They’re gonna try spin a story to fit the kind of brand/image they want the actors to have.
Lili x Cole were by all accounts messy AF. They dated but it was BAD for massive chunks of it and he like cheated on her a bunch. But obvi most of the coverage tried to make it seem Bughead-esque to encourage interest in them and in the show.
To go to closeting obvi it is a personal choice to some degree - exactly the same as normal life. However, execs do regularly tell talent not to come out or at least discourage it because it limits sales. Again they don’t hate the talent, many are perfectly pleasant people not evil homophobes, but they’re aware that an out star isn’t gonna sell as much so they try limit that fiancial loss.
So is it this evil conspiracy where everything is fake and there’s a private private life and a public private life? Sometimes sure but certainly not mostly and where that is the case it’s naturally hard. Are showmances a way some parts of the entertainment industry market celebs? Absolutely because gossip is a multi million dollar industry and it sells. People love reading about celeb love lives. People love watching films where the leads are in love offscreen. People love it when their favorite TV show cast are besties. They don’t want to know that they’re actually all friends with other people and it’s the same as their own office or that the two 20 year olds aren’t necessarily passionately and cutely in love but rather just got drunk and fucked. So obviously manufacturing more of the former is part of what publicists and marketing teams do.
I hope that answers the question idk?

Riverdale 4x17 - First thoughts
Pre-thoughts/expectations: Im very exicted for once. At first I was dreading this epiosde, because, you know, it’s a musical one, and you know how the last one went... (first thoughts on that here). But then they dropped all the Barchie stuff so now I’m PUMPED!
Warnings: Swearing and caps lock, also I didn’t edit any of this. 
First thoughts: 
Jughead: “It was over.” Me: Bughead?
I’m glad to see Jughead back writing in Pop’s tho
God another tape? I honestly completetly forgot about those
Oh no Jughead is singing again
It was god awful last time
I’ve only heard three words and it sounds like ha has inproved but I don’t wanna get my hopes up
Okay Cole’s singing is better (maybe that’s because he’s singing a low tone now though?) but I still think it’s a weird creative decision to have Jughead sing tbh. It just feels really weird and out of character. I know he’s not actually singing but still. I think the musical episodes would work better (or less bad) if he was the only one that didn’t sing. 
Oh now Archie is singing that is so much better
And Veronica too
I don’t know which musical this is from but I promise I won’t judge it based in Riverdale’s interpertation 
The people singing at Pop’s are really funny to me but I don’t know why
But also SWEET PEA YAY
I love Veronica’s outfit can I have that?
I hope Hiram dies
God Archie and his big mouth
He and Hagrid should be friends
I would honestly pay to see that spinoff 
GOD ARCHIE IS SO PRCIOUS AND JUST WANTS TO HELP I LOVE YOU
“The salem witch trails, definitly.” You fucking took the words right out of my mouth Jughead
Knowing that Brachie is coming is giving me the streangth to get through Bughead scenes without wanting to puke wow that hasn’t happened in a while
How do you know it’s a he, Charles? Do you know him? Is it you and your boyfriend in prison? 
Really Mr. Honey? Let Kevin sing! He’s the best of the cast!!!
“We’re generation Z” God that fucking cracked me up. No you’re not you’re all 30! I know they’re probably trying to give us a voice but I feel worse about being gen Z now that Kevin said it like that
Kevin sings tho so that’s good
Doing something like this, giving teenagers today a voice and trying to express how they feel is something I really wanna see more but it doesn’t work in Riverdale. Riverdale is so far removed from reality that doing these kind of realistic and relevant things and topics can’t work. If you’re gonna give generation Z a voice then you need to do it with people who behave like real gen Z teenagers, and the characters in Riverdale don’t. I don’t mean that all media have to be realistic, but if you’re gonna do something like this it kinda does. 
The musical numbers aren’t as awkward as in Heathers. That just hurt to watch, but this is totally fine. 
If no one had number 69 I’m sueing 
The Archies? Does Archie have a secret twin too?? With the same name???
THE CAR BETTY HELPED HIM FIX UP YEAH
yes bring back the Fred Heads
I can’t concentrate on the Fnags/Kevin scene cause I’m just thinking about that tickling thing and how fucking weird that was
I like Fangs being a supportive boyfriend tho
Yeah Betty’s about to roast Jughead this is great
Jughead’s lying to Betty again what a surprise
I’m fine with Jughead being in the band as long as he doesn’t sing
He can play drums like his dad
OH FUCK YEAH KEVIN IN DRAG LET’S DO THIS
The receptionist looking at Kevin OMG 😂😂😂
Shout out to Miss Bell
OMG SWEET PEA IS HELPING AND HE’S PLAYING THE GUTIAR???? TIGER PRINT HAS NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD
OMG YESSSS KEVIN KISSED ARCHIE THAT WAS AMAZING DIDN’T KNOW I NEEDED THAT
At least Honey let him finish the song before he pulled the plug
This scene would’ve been so much cuter if it felt like Betty, Veronica, Toni, Cheryl and Kevin were all actually friends
Hate to break it to you Betty but that’s not a wig it’s a tiara
Wow they’re really making up for 3 seasons without drag
God Toni’s wig and Cheryl’s hair
OMG IT FEELS SO GOOD SEEING BETTY IN A WIG THAT ISN’T THAT SHITTY D*ARK B*ETTY WIG
Sugar Daddy is the best one yet but I don’t think it’s the right one to convince Mr. Honey
aaand I was right
Can all of them be barred from Prom? Cause I really don’t wanna see that unless Barchie goes together
Honestly I don’t think Veronica has the right to be that mad at Archie. Hiram isn’t his dad he can’t just make him go to the hospital. He tried to talk to him but he refused to listen there was litteraly nothing more he could do. Maybe he should’ve told Veronica earlier but th episode doesn’t tell us how long it took him to do it but it looked like it was the next day
Betty has more of a reason to be mad 
Also Jug don’t be so dramatic you didn’t actually die you idiot
OH NO DON’T SING
FUCK I CAN’T WITH THIS ANGSTY SCREAM SINGING BULLSHIT STOP
When Betty said “How do you think I feel” it sounded completely diffrent from the rest of the audio. Seriously, that shitty amature dubbing is kinda inexcusible from a big show like this
They look kinda funny screaming at each other
sSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsown up 😂😂😂
FUCK YEAH EVERYONE’S IN DRAG NOW
Wait so are the fights happening during school time? Wtf? They’re editing the events like they take place during the same time so why aren’t they at school??
NEVERMIND REGGIE IN DRAG SKJKFLHJSHF
FUCK YOU HONEY YOU CAN’T CANCEL THE SHOW BECAUSE OF A PEACEFUL PROTEST WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
fUCK YEAH THE BARCHIE SCENE IS COMING NOW BE PREPARED FOR MORE CAPSLOCK
You didn’t screw up shit she shouldn’t have gotten as mad as she did because of that
“We peaked in the 1st grade” God they’re so adorable 
OMG THEY’RE GONNA DO A CALLBACK TO SEASON 1 WHEN ARCHIE LOOKED AT BETTY LIKE THAT AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHSKJJSH
Ok nevermind it was about Fred sill really cute
God they’re gonna sing a song called Origin of Love.... I don’t think I’m mentally prepared for this
Do I even have to say that this is the best song number in the show?
Veronica what are you doing I want Barchie
No not Jughead ugh
CAN THOR PLEASE KILL THEM ALL WITH HIS HAMMER THAT WOULD BE GREAT
Okay Cole’s singing has improved a lot I’ll give him snaps for that
I take back not wanting Veronica or Jughead right now this is great Jeronica and Barchie parallells
I really hope this cheating plot line will bring Jug and Veronica together that would be so great
OMG THE FLASHBACKS TO BARCHIE SEASON 1 MY HEART
AND FLASHBACK TO THE BARCHIE KISS FUCK YEAH
FUCK YEAH THEY’RE KISSING NOW SJKSLHJSDBVHBRGVHWR WFHBVHVWKJHRVBRHBVHRBH
That was better than all Bughead and Varchie kisses combined don’t @ me 
She looks happier and more in love in the picture with Archie
OMG JUGHEAD IS HERE YES BRING THE ANGST
I can’t wait to see Jughead’s reaction to finding out Betty cheated on him with Archie
LOL Archie has 1 picture with Veronica and 4 with Betty that’s so in character I love it
omg they’re still gonna perform it’s gonna be so awkward I love it
YES THEY’RE LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOWS NOW I LOVE IT
OH MY GOD THIS SONG WTF IT’S GIVING ME SO MANY FEELS
OH MY GOD THEY’RE DANCING IN THE OUTFITS FROM THE DANCE IN 1X1 I CAN’T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT I’VE EVER WANTED 
NAME ONE BUGHEAD MOMENT THAT EVEN COMES CLOSE TO THIS YOU CAN’T
THE HANDS AGAINST THE WINDOWS HHHHMHMHNJBNJTNBDNBN
I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING BIGGER THAN CAPSLOCK TO SHOW HOW I’M FEELING
Yes they’re preforming now this is gonna be so awkward
And they showed Sweet Pea for another second 
Did they forget that he’s a fan favourite??
Jughead’s playing the drums but he still has a mic fuck
He looks so confused when Betty won’t look back at him God that’s hilarious 
Fangs and Sweets singing with to the misfits part yess
WHY ARE THEY STANDING ON THE ROOF THATS SO STUPID THIS WAS AN ACTUAL GOOD EPISODE DONT RUIN IT
How many fucking people are there I thought Riverdale was a small town
...
......
...............
......................
................................
.......................................wtf was that?
I don’t know wether to laugh or cry
Final thoughts: BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE BARCHIE with a really wird ending like wtf

three things
After moving in together, Reader and Ben host their first Friendsgiving together and have to come up with three things they’re grateful for. 
Pairing: Ben Hardy x Reader
Word Count: 3K
Warnings: Mentions of sex and shenanigans so cute they’ll rot your teeth
This is a continuation of lighthouse ! 
Tumblr media
A/N: Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it today! Here’s a little something that @itsabenthing​ helped give me inspo to bring to life and I gotta say, I love these two idiots and their dumb relationship more than most things in my life. I hope you all love it!!
💖💖💖As always, likes, reblogs and comments are always welcome 💖💖💖
"Cranberries?" 
"Regular and the nasty canned shit." 
"Ignoring that hearsay...corn bread?"
Rustling was heard as her eyes scanned the list she held in her hand. Mentally ticking things off when suddenly the corner of a box of cornbread appeared in her peripheries as Ben painstakingly edged it closer into her line of sight. 
"The lady wants cornbread and THEREFORE, cornbread she shall have." 
Fighting a smile, she pursed her lips as Ben proudly withdrew it from her line of sight and placed it back into their grocery cart. 
They had been living together for a few months now and had quickly settled into a routine. Most days she'd kick the door open, heels thumping against the closet floor as she toed them off. The smell of whatever Ben was cooking, wafted down the hall to meet her nose. Flipping through the mail she picked up on her way in, she'd pad down the hallway, humming whatever song she had been listening to in her car before coming inside. 
Popping herself up on the counter she would word vomit about her day as Ben stirred, chopped and let her taste test what he was making. Making encouraging noises and occasionally interjecting at opportune times. ("No, Karen does need to calm down. I mean, it's an Instagram post, it's not the end of the world. I barely use mine and I'm doing just fine." "Yeah, but we're not all hot, blonde Hollywood stars." "You think I'm hot?" "Smoking, just like whatever is cooking in the oven." "SHIT.") 
They'd end the day with whatever show they had been watching together on Netflix (Recently it was Riverdale. She loved it because she read the comics growing up. Ben loved it because it was so over the top. And he had a soft spot for Bughead.), then get ready for bed together and fall asleep in each others arms. 
It was so disgustingly domestic and simple, half the time she found herself looking at Ben and asking him, "Is this it? Like, this is all we do? We hang out?"
Chuckling, he'd pull her closer, "It sure is, love."
She'd sigh contentedly, and nuzzle closer to him, happy with how quickly their lives had merged together. 
Not every day was so peaceful. There was the one time she left their back window open and a bat had flown into the apartment. There was 30 minutes of chaos as Ben bellowed at her for leaving the window open and she locked herself in the bedroom threatening to divorce him if he didn't get rid of the bat NOW despite his protests that they weren't even married. 
Or the day when they had sat down and hashed out which chores they hated (she: cooking, cleaning bathrooms and dusting. Ben: sweeping, doing dishes and taking out the trash. The payoff though was that whenever she took out the trash she'd gleefully tell Ben to step into the trash can as well. Only after he locked her out of their bedroom had she stopped) and would take over to prevent the other from having to do it. 
Some nights she'd be out with friends, or at a late work event or need to run some errands only to come home to Ben air drumming along to a Queen album he had popped on the record player. 
Other days she would be left to her own devices and would wake up in the tub, the bath bomb she had used a distant memory, with Ben standing over her, telling her how she can't fall asleep in the tub while he's gone because what if she drowns? 
They were most thankful for each other when they had had long, difficult days. Trudging home from a work day full of bullshit meetings, last minute deadlines and unhelpful co-workers, with only one call to Ben to have a brief meltdown, she'd open the door to find him wearing nothing but an apron with her favorite dinner on the table.
(Frozen Chinese food from their local grocery store and "is that...White Claw...in our wine glasses?" "It sure is, love. We're real classy bitches now.") 
When Ben was gone filming for long periods of time, she would FaceTime him as she cooked, or did laundry, or other normal things around the house just so he could feel like he was part of her day to day routine.
(The first time they had done that he'd remarked, "It's like a baby cam."
She scoffed, "Well, yeah. Kind of. I mean, I am baby."
"You're my baby."
"Shut the fuck up Hardy, you can't be that cute when you're that far away from me.") 
When he finally would get home, disentangling himself from the Lyft, body screaming for rest after having been put through the wringer with training and long days and nights of filming, the only thing that'd keep him upright was her. She would barrel out of their apartment to meet him in the landing. He'd barely have time to drop his bags as she flung herself into his arms, peppering each others faces with kisses as he promised over and over again he would take her with him next time he left so they never had to be apart for so long.
They'd even had a couple of parties together. A low-key house-warming when Ben moved in and a Halloween party. She had dressed up as Sabrina from The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and had talked Ben into being her Harvey. Though he got to wear what he normally did, he complained the whole time. She was sympathetic but right before they opened the door to let their friends in, she had stuck devil horns on his head that he didn't have time to rip off.
(After everyone had left, he had made her wear those as he fucked her senseless. She hated to admit it but it was incredibly hot.) 
The Halloween party was such a hit, their friends had talked them into hosting Friendsgving as well. Hence, the run to the grocery store where she had printed out the Excel spreadsheet clutched in her hand to help keep track of what was needed for each dish. 
Ben had taken one look at the spreadsheet, took her hands in his, and in the most loving way possible, explained that this seemed like a bit much for a party and he was worried that, day of, she'd be so stressed, he'd have to talk her down from stuffing her head in the oven alongside the turkey. 
Now, she felt something move across the nape of her neck, she flinched, looking around only to be met with Ben's wide eyes staring at her, feigning ignorance as he paused mid-inhale, getting ready to blow on her neck a second time. 
The smile he shot her made her knees weak and she rolled her eyes, muttering about what a pain in the ass he was as she pushed the cart farther away from him.
His hands came down beside hers on the rail as his lips pressed into her hair, "Get in"
"What? Get in where?"
"Where do you think? Get in the cart, I'll push you around." 
She scoffed, "Ben, we're adults. We're hosting a dinner party we bought the $5 bottles of red wine instead of the $3 ones. There is no way in hell I'm going to let you-"
"C'mon, love. The old you would have done it." 
Before Ben had even said the last word, she was hauling herself up into the cart, pushing food out of the way and tucking her legs underneath herself, mumbling all the while about how unfair it was that that always worked on her. 
Ben chuckled as he waited for her to get settled, once she nodded at him, he started walking down the aisles, leaning his forearms on the rail, giving her an up close view to the sinews and muscles flexing as he meandered down the aisles. 
"You keep staring like that, people are gonna ask you to keep it in your pants." 
"How can I? I mean, Christ Benny, your forearms are enough to make me cum right now."
He made a retching noise, "Please, for the love of god do not cum all over the potatoes. They're right in your lap, we have to feed those to people-" 
A laugh came ringing out of her mouth like a bell, "These mashed potatoes seem extra creamy, whatever did you do to them?" she affected a high pitched voice and waggled her eyebrows. 
"That's it, we're done. I'm leaving you in this cart." He threw up his hands, walking backwards as her eyes grew wide, 
"Ben, please do not leave me here alone in this cart like a big dumb baby. Please. It was a joke." 
Ben came back with a sigh, "You do look like a baby. Like when you wear your romper to work."
That comment was met with an accusing finger, "HEY. That romper is professional and stylish and also gives a whole new meaning to being naked and afraid in bathrooms." 
"I understand wearing it to work but I just don't get why you would wear that out. Waiting for you to come out of the bathroom at the bar," he sighed, "felt like I was standing there for an hour."
"It was like 10 minutes tops. Grow up."
He rolled his eyes and shoved the cart away from him, quickly bringing it right back, causing her to screech and grasp the sides with white knuckles. 
"Jones!"
He chuckled as he swung them around to the next aisle, "I've got you, love. Now, what do we need down this aisle?"
Her head swung side to side as she examined the goods. She pointed to a package of spices, that Ben grabbed and tried to shoot into the cart, missing by a mile. She eventually circled her arms so he could try and shoot every new food item they picked up into the makeshift basket. (She drew the line at the eggs.) As they roamed the aisles, she slowly became more and more buried until food reached up to her shoulders. 
As Ben debated between getting regular sized versus mini marshmallows for the sweet potato casserole, she asked, "What are the three things you're grateful for today?"
They had started this soon after Ben had moved in. He'd wake up in the morning to find her writing in a notebook, after observing her doing this for a couple weeks, he got the courage to ask her what she was writing about. She explained that every day, she wrote down three things she was grateful for. Didn't matter how big or small it was. Just three things that she was grateful to have in her life. 
He teased her mercilessly about how he had better be on that list every damn day but when they were laying in bed that night, she asked him and it became a habit. Crawling into bed together, they would exchange what three things they were most grateful for in that day. 
Furrowing his brow as he shot the mini marshmallows, he threw his hands in the air when he made it in and announced, "I'm grateful I made that shot."
After checking out, in which Ben insisted that she stay in the cart while he did so, causing the cashier to give them strange looks but ultimately giving her a sticker that they usually only reserved for children, which Ben gleefully stuck to her forehead, he rolled her out to her car where she popped the trunk. 
Loading the bags in, Ben clambered in to her front seat, pushing the chair all the way back. 
"It's like living with a midget."
"You are BARELY 5' 10" my man, do not be speaking ill of my height right now." 
Driving back it was quiet except for the soft sounds of Bruce Springsteen playing over the speakers. Reaching over, Ben grabbed the hand that had been resting on her thigh. She glanced over, smiling, as she looked at her boyfriend, felt his thumb rubbing back and forth over the back of her hand.
She whispered, "I'm grateful for us."
~~~
Friendsgiving had been a massive success. Before, the apartment had been a madhouse. The kitchen looked like the end of a Great British Bake Off episode, complete with Ben doing his best Paul Hollywood impression ("You keep that shit up Jones and I will give you food poisoning on purpose.") 
But the food had turned out well (Ben silently gave her a thumbs up when 15 minutes had passed after everyone was done eating and no one had thrown up), everyone left with a plate of leftovers and promises to get together soon and now the apartment felt strangely still. The only hint that it had been filled with people was the pile of dishes in the sink. 
They fell into an easy rhythm, her washing, he drying. The jazz they had queued up for dinner still playing, adding an air of domesticity to the whole affair. The pine candle she had lit after they had eaten, signaling to everyone the holiday season had truly started, sputtered as it gave off its last few whiffs then burnt out. 
As she placed the last plates back into the cabinet, Ben refilled their wine glasses, leaving them on the counter as he disappeared into the bedroom. 
Turning around she was met with Ben in his favorite hoodie, the collar sinking down to reveal his collarbone, meaning he wasn't wearing a shirt underneath it and gray sweatpants, which she cocked an eyebrow at. 
"You told me about the memes, I'm just trying to satisfy all your fantasies." he joked as he held out a second pair of sweatpants to her. She giggled as she shimmed out of her tights right there in the kitchen, pulling the sweatpants on underneath her dress. Ben swatted at her butt as she walked past him to grab a shirt from the bedroom. Once she ambled out, pulling her hair up into a ponytail, she was greeted by Ben, laid out on their couch, wine glasses on the table in front of him and the largest rectangular box she had ever seen in her life. 
Ben notoriously had weird taste in art and the skepticism must have shown on her face because Ben rolled his eyes, "It's not art. Don't worry. I learned my lesson when you ripped me a new one telling me that Andy Warhol isn't a real artist."
"Well you only have to make that mistake once with me." she conceded as she crept towards the box. "Is this, for me?"
Ben nodded, shifting, rubbing his hands down his thighs, then through his hair, a classic sign he was nervous. 
Smiling, she knelt down in front of it, running her nails down the edges she ripped the tape off. 
"Ya know, I have a pocket knife. It's easier." 
"Yeah but these bad boys are like built in pocket knives."
"Okay Wolverine."
Flipping him off, she opened the top of the box. Ben watched bemusedly as she struggled to wrestle the object out. Letting her struggle for only a few seconds before he got up and grabbed on to the end of the box she pulled her gift out.
Almost dropping it she gasped, "Ben, what the hell is this? What did you do?" He laughed as he smugly took a sip of wine, "Take off that bubble wrap and find out, love."
Staring at him, she ripped open the bubble wrap. First exposing the dark mahogany frame, then the white border, then..."Oh my god. Ben. Sweetheart. Is this...?"
He just tipped his head, making a get on with it gesture as, hands trembling, she ripped off the rest of the bubble wrap. 
Exposing the puzzle they had done together the day she had asked him to move in with her, matted and framed. 
Bringing a hand up to cover her mouth, she felt how wet her cheeks were. She sank back on her heels, laying the frame down in front of her as she leaned over it. Ben was by her side in a second, arms around her, pressing kisses into her hair. 
She couldn't believe it. Her heart felt like it was going to break from how much love she felt for Ben in that moment, "This is the best piece of art you've ever gotten."
"Nah, I'd say you were the best piece of art I've ever gotten."
"Oh god." She wailed as a fresh wave of tears came flooding out of her, making him laugh as his own eyes got watery, tightening his grip on her. 
Once the tears had stopped, she lifted her head, sniffling to look at the puzzle again. She squinted her eyes, "Ben."
"Yes?"
"Is...is there a piece missing from this?" 
He chuckled as he fished in his pocket for a second box, "There is. But for good reason."
Hands shaking like a leaf, she pried the box open only to reveal the piece of the puzzle she had stepped on the morning after she asked him to move in, winking up at her on a gold chain. She dropped it immediately as she threw herself into Ben's arms, tackling him to the ground. 
For several moments it was just the sound of her crying, him telling her to stop crying because it was making him cry, them kissing each other and exchanging promises of love and exclamations about how amazing the other was. 
After collecting herself and wiping her eyes, she held out her wrist, "Well? Put it on me you idiot."
He laughed, wiping his own eyes with his hoodie sleeve, fingers shaking as he clasped the bracelet onto her wrist. 
They stared down at it until Ben kissed the palm of her hand and brought it up to his face. 
Staring at each other, lost in the other's eyes, Ben said, "You know how at dinner you had everyone say three things they were grateful for?" She nodded, feeling a new batch of tears making their debut, "Obviously I said you but, love, you are always the top three things I'm most grateful for everyday. Every day I look at you and find something else about you that I'm grateful for. And I hope I get to keep doing that for however long you can stand to be around me." She giggled through her tears, nodding vigorously as she nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck.  
She felt him take a steadying breath in as he squeezed her tighter into his embrace, "You're always what I'm most grateful for. And I will never stop being grateful for having you in my life. I love you so much it makes my heart ache sometimes."
Nodding furiously, voice wavery and thick from her tears, she said, "Everyday when I write my list, you always make the number one spot. No matter if you had yelled at me about letting a bat into our apartment the night before," He squeezed her tighter, laughing through his own tears, "This is just about the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me, so, yeah, Jones. You made me the happiest girl alive when you agreed to be my boyfriend and every day since then. I look at you every day and wonder how in the world I got so lucky but grateful that you're in my life. You're the love of my life."
Beaming, he pulled back only to place a deep kiss on her lips. Clutching his shoulders, they held each other there for a few long seconds, finally breaking apart to breath each other in.
Breaking the silence, she asked the age old question, "Where are we going to hang this?" 
"I was thinking over our bed." 
"Perfect. Just perfect."
That night, as they fell asleep, they had murmured what three things they were each grateful for. It came as no surprise to either of them that their three things they were most grateful for were each other.

She can feel the pulse of the drums in her chest, thumping quick and unnatural, and it’s strangely intimate, makes her feel larger than just her body alone. - thinking of a place by @flwrpotts
When I discovered there was an Almost Famous Bughead au in existence, not even The Flash could have clicked that link faster. This story expertly weaves together both source materials for a read which will have you anxiously awaiting the next installment. Set your time machine to 1973, & get ready for rock, writing, a little mistaken identity, behind the scenes hijinks, and oh yeah, feels aplenty. Be sure not to miss out as rock waits for no one!

I’m glad you’ve come around to Alex from Decider. The Bughead fandom gives him a hard time but honestly he’s one of the better reviewers of this show. He actually likes watching it and he analyzes it well. The shipping wars have made people super defensive and write people off before actually listening to them.
oof, to be very honest, i am mostly ambivalent about alex.
i have never disliked him because he likes b/archie, i don't care what other people enjoy (tho him being a b/a from the comics, knowing what comic archie is like, makes me cringe a touch), my opinion of him stems from his past c/honi comments.
which, he may not have intended them the way they came off and was just trying to drum up enthusiasm or focus on a ship without core 4 pairings but yeah, pass.
his bughead opinions, his trolling for engagement, etc, are all things i honestly don't think much about unless i happen to see it or someone brings it to me. i think we've all known that he knows what's up with the ships but he also knows that he created a b/archie fanbase and even if he doesn't truly think b/a is going to be a thing or even care anymore, he still caters to that. if the man admits he knows he's "setting himself on fire" by speaking the truth, then well, he lit the match in the first place.
do i think he's the worst? no. god no. kat is by far the worst for me. it's not even that she's biased, it's that she's cringe, biased, and bad at her job. jaysnow (pretty sure that's the name) has had some hilariously bad takes but is fairly forgettable.
thanks for the ask, lovely!💜

I was tagged by @agent-styles (I'm honored). Thank you, Shelby, I'm really glad to do this list. Okay, here we go. 
1. Name/Alias: Elena (If you didn't know my name, it's lovely to meet you then) 
2. Birthday: December 11th
3. Zodiac sign: I'm sagittarius (Do you know what that means? Haha) 
4. Height: Last time I checked, I was 5' 5"= 1,66m 
5. Hobbies: Listen to music, make gifs (and edits sometimes), walking at night, to leave dumbass comments wherever it's possible. 
6. Favorite colors: Probably green, blue, yellow and I love light tones. 
7. Favorite books: Ooh, I love detectives, so maybe something from Agatha Christie or Arthur Conan Doyle. 
8. Favorite video games: Unfortunately, I can't say anything about it just because I don't have time to do this kind of activity. 
9. Last song I listened to: Wow, the last song I listened to was *drum roll* Señorita by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello. (She's got better songs, though. But I like wordplay in this song, it’s pretty cool)
10. Last film I watched: Last film I seriously watched was probably Annihilation 
11. Inspiration for muse: The stories that people share make me think a lot, and that's my inspiration. 
12. Dream job: Surely do nothing and get paid for it? (no, sure it's not, maybe environmentalist?) 
13. Meaning behind your url: I've been waiting a long time for this question, but seems like it's pretty obvious because nobody asked me about that. Let's start with cr, it's actually simple, cr means Christopher Robert and Boston means (I'm pretty sure you know) the place where this handsome guy was born. 
14. Top 3 ships: Oh, God, it's complicated. Well, I'd say Bughead (I used to be a big fan of these two) Jughead x Betty, Clexa (one of my heartbreaking ship) Clarke x Lexa and the last one would be the beautiful couple called Romanogers (yeah, that's was unexpected) Steve x Natasha. 
15. Lipstick or chapstick: I vote for chapstick, but I'm a big fan of red lipstick (but on me it looks kinda terrible) 
16. Currently reading: Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris (no spoilers please) 
Wow, that was amazing. I should have been brief in my answers, but I couldn't help myself.  
I’m tagging @ci-avmovies14, @mille-baci, @daybreak96, @captainamericafaves, @bonnieisle, @et-lesailes and there are a few more guys, but I can't tag them (I feel like if all these people won't like my stuff, then it's just a failure). + I’m tagging @capsgrantrogers, @erikisright and everybody who wants to do it. Remember, folks, if you don't want to do this, don't do it! 
I always notice these guys in my notifications, so I wanna know them better. Thanks for you support!
