To summarise:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Barchie’s pregnancy test turns out negative. Betty is relieved but Archie regrets the opportunity to bring a new life a few days (months?) before the Apocalypse. “My dad loved being a young dad”, he tells Betty, whose mother was an even younger mother (cough!Charles!cough!).
To make sure the viewers got it, Veggie break up again.
Meanwhile, Tabitha is away in Albany working to get Pop’s declared a historical landmark, while Jughead is working at RHS working at Pop’s waiting at home typing away on his computer. Wait, I thought he couldn’t write without his music and was into drawing cartoons now … ?? My mistake.
The mayor of Riverdale goes door-to-door accompanied by the armed deputies of the sheriff’s department sans Keller Sr (who, unlike Keller Jr, is not a regular of the show) to collect overdue books borrowed from the Public Library, which is soon to be converted into a(nother) hotel. Here come The Six Seasons!
It seems our heroes have been less than diligent about returning their books: Jughead owes Kafka’s Metamorphosis from his junior homeless days (not to be confused with his adult homeless days), Betty owes Small Engine Repairs that she borrowed when she was 12 but never returned, Veronica aka the Black Widow of Wall Street owes Kiss Of The Spider Woman, Archie Songwriting From The Heart, Cheryl … Flowers In The Attic (oh boy …) and Reggie a book about dyslexia.
To add insult to injury -with the exception of himbo of my heart Reginald Mantle- our heroes don’t even know where their books are.
It transpires that Kevin hasn’t returned a book either: it’s Lord of the Flies. Percival asks for it. I thought he was already on Percival’s side?
Percival claims that the late fees for the overdue books are “in the thousands of dollars”, although the Guinness Book of Records (the very same one featuring Archie as the toughest man in the world) says the the world´s largest fine for an overdue library book is $345.14.
This is, of course, but a cunning ruse, to allow him to collect various other items as “collateral”, i.e. Jughead’s copy of the first Baxter Brothers book (first edition), Betty’s journal, Hiram’s portrait (Veronica), Archie’s guitar and Cheryl’s brother (in a trunk rather than in the attic).
It must be noted that, at this point, Jason’s adventures as a corpse far surpass his adventures whilst alive.
I have so many questions about this villain who knows exactly what to take under the guise of “collateral” but who hasn’t yet taken over the town …
Cheryl briefly threatens to burn Percival but he says that if he gets even a flush, the sheriff’s deputies will shoot her. Instead of burning the deputies first, then Percival, Cheryl lets him take Jason (and the trunk).
It must be the weekend or something because Kevin is strolling around Riverdale with Percival instead of teaching at RHS.
Meanwhile, the Serpents are apparently illiterate, because neither Toni nor Fangs are asked to return any books. Or maybe they went to Albany too?
Our heroes meet to discuss Percival’s interest in their borrowed books. Cheryl’s witchy mind reels at what he might do with the “secret forbidden knowledge” of what they read during their formative years aka the registry of the library that Percival already used when calling upon them.
Meanwhile, Percival is not interested in the books but in the items he collected as collateral. He lights a black candle, mumbles some latin and asks for the “books” to reveal their secrets. Archie’s guitar, Hiram’s portrait and Jason-in-the-trunk are not books but, yeah, whatevs, Perce.
The w/e must be over, because RHS is in session and Archie’s back at school for the first time since … season 5??
Nope, sorry, I take that back. The English Lit teacher is spending the morning on his laptop at home again. Confused yet?
Percival’s chanting has caused everyone to experience their deepest trauma: FP III is afraid of turning into FP I, Betty’s unlocking hidden memories of serial killer Hal from when she was 12 (canon reset #1), Archie’s seeing Grundy, Veronica is on her way to becoming Spiderwoman, err, venomous like a black widow, and Reggie suffers from his first on-screen episode of dyslexia.
Betty confides her trauma to Archie. Archie, who was disappointed by the negative pregnancy test, lies about his. Manpain must be endured in manly silence.
Instead of buying a new book to remind himself how to read (because this is how dyslexia works in Riverdale), Reggie goes to Percival, who mind controls him into taking a Glamergé egg to Veronica, that is going … to unlock her venomous powers? This is the most unnecessarily convoluted plot ever.
Smithers returns! (Only to swiftly depart again)
Kevin discusses Lord of the Flies with Moose for one whole minute.
After walking 2.445 km, on an average of 25 hours per day, the homeless of Sketch Alley, Riverdale N.Y., have reached Venice Beach, California. Which is where Doc (who is in possession of Jughead’s book) is.
Jughead learns all this from Hank, who is still in Sketch Alley, which is still in its same abandoned condition. Did Percival remove the homeless just to spite Archie?
Canon reset #2: Cheryl has always dabbled in the supernatural.
There is another scene with Archie at school. Maybe the RROTC program is the only class offered at RHS?
Kevin, says Percival, is a gorgeous man, who deserves what his heart desires. Kevin, who has -so far- never had a problem getting what his heart desired (be it Joaquin, Fangs, Moose or a premium spot in a cult), agrees. For good measure, he makes out with Percival. He has now joined his ranks. That Lord-of-the-Flies discussion served no purpose whatsoever. I want my minute back.
Archie comes clean about his trauma. Betty dutifully consoles him. He can now play the guitar again.
Veronica has a fling with Geraldo, who turns out dead the next day.
Himbo of my heart Reggie, who has been left out of the loop all this time, figures out what’s going on. “Are you a wizard?” he asks Percival. “No”, replies Percival, “I’m a magic man”. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With only 6 minutes left in the episode, Jughead tracks down all of our heroes’ books in a bookstore in Pennsylvania. Sure, why not. Percival gives them back what he took as collateral.
Instead of getting Hiram’s portrait back and disposing of it herself, Veronica leaves it with Percival, in order -one assumes- to facilitate some future plot.
Cheryl proposes to burn the items because they are polluted. Jason -already burned once- is, she claims, excepted. Jughead also keeps his grandfather’s book, since it’s the only thing left of him. That and all the other copies of the highly successful first book of the Baxter Brothers. At least Archie’s guitar is burned. Small mercies.
Geraldo’s death “seems sealed with a kiss”: Dr Curdle Jr must have been spending some quality time with Jughead, as he’s now favouring the same over-the-top narrative vein as the author of The Outcasts. I wish Dr Curdle Jr a very happy career writing crime novels.
Had Percival’s shenanigans no purpose at all or was all this a dastardly plot to unblock Archie’s love for singing? Could this be Percival’s undoing? As the Inferno flames of the Ultimate Battle™ engulf the town, will Archie, armed with a smore stick and a new, purified guitar, sing Kumbaya until Percival’s ears bleed and he explodes in a million supernatural smithereens, thus saving Riverdale? Only time will tell.
Toffee was not in town during this episode, because Toffee has no overdue library books, bitch. She hitched a ride with Tabitha to visit Albany.

Hi I lost a fic where Betty was “dating” Archie as a cover for his dad so he could hook up with Veronica so then Betty goes and asked jug to take her virginity and they do all that then eventually fall in love
Sooo I'm thinking there might be more than one story with this premise - it wasn't that long ago that I reread one and it's killing me that I can't remember which fic it is. HOWEVER - I remember this one too - and it was great. Maybe this is your lost fi. Please let me know if this is not the right one. Thanks! 💛 Jandy
desire and denial by @heytherejones (5/? - E)
Summary: elizabeth cooper; innocent and naive to the highest degree, lets archie andrews, her all too manipulative and egotistical “best friend” who she can’t help being irrevocably in love with, use her as a cover so he can keep his forbidden summer fling with the girl his father doesn’t approve of; veronica lodge, elizabeth’s supposed other “best friend.” jughead jones has always been this familiar face, a friend from archie’s childhood past and they have long since grown apart. she’s watched him change over the years, sherpa jackets turning to hardened leather and pen between his fingers being replaced by a cigarette. little does she know, he notices her too. and they soon come to realize they’re not so different. elizabeth is done with being innocent and she’s determined to have him help her change that.

You Better You Bet
Previous - PART TEN - Next - Masterlist
Author’s Note: I’m garbage. You know what it is. Also, editing this in the bathtub by candlelight, drinking wine and listening to a twilight playlist. Very on brand for me I think.
Pairing: Riverdale, FP Jones, and 19-Year-Old Reader
Description: A bet with Jughead leads to so much more than winning.
Warning: Language, Adult themes, Age Gap, Forbidden love bullshit, brief mention of female masturbation, bi!FP and top!FP if you squint, fluff in a sarcastic way, getting caught red handed
Song Inspiration:  illicit affairs - Taylor Swift
The word felt weird on your tongue. Girlfriend.  It felt even weirder calling him your boyfriend. You didn’t use them in front of other people, not yet. It all still felt so delicate. You had admitted to Betty and Veronica that you were seeing FP, but didn’t divulge that it was exclusive or serious yet. You were also quite aware that Jughead was not as oblivious as he pretended to be, but neither of you dared bring it up to the other. 
As days slipped into weeks, you got more comfortable with the words. Eventually, you had slipped into a routine with FP. You’d see each other a few times a week, either at his trailer or the Wyrm or occasionally the overlook. Usually, you’d sleepover and either drive yourself home or to school in the morning. It was comfortable, almost domestic, how easily you wrapped your lives around each other.  He bought more food (you preferred that he let you cook, but he at least owned spices and herbs now); the trailer stayed cleaner and brighter with fewer empty beer cans littered around. You were brighter, too. You had always felt like a person out of their time- too old to still be in high school by most standards, the oldest kid in your family with no siblings or cousins to keep you company, forced to grow up too fast, but too young to be considered an adult in all the ways that mattered. Nothing that was supposed to feel right ever did. So it made sense that the first thing to ever feel right was a man that was supposed to be wrong. It worked, though. Somehow, it worked.
Easily your favorite part of your newfound relationship was sleeping next to FP. Falling asleep to the sound of his even heartbeat and low breath had become soothing in a way you would have never imagined. Waking up to his messy hair and gruff voice might have been even better. On the nights you couldn’t spend with him, you tossed and turned violently for hours-unable to find the comfort of sleep without being wrapped up in your man’s arms. Unfortunately, this was one of those nights. No amount of pillow flips, weighted blankets, or calming audios would put you to bed like FP could. You picked up your phone to text him- but the bright white numbers reading “3:30” made you decide against it; it was much too late to bother him. Instead, you decided to tire yourself out in the only way you knew how: with your hand slipped into your sweatpants lazily working yourself up until maybe-just maybe an orgasm would tire you out enough to put you out. But apparently, sleep wasn’t the only thing FP has ruined for you. Why were you sitting here touching yourself in vain when you could be getting railed by your boyfriend? Unfair. Ridiculous. You would just have to spend the rest of the night tossing until maybe sleep took you. 
The next day was frustrating, to say the least. Working on barely two and a half hours of sleep, school was painful to get through. The only thing keeping you from going home to sleep was knowing that you were headed to FP’s trailer as soon as the end-of-day bell rang. You spent most of your day tapping your foot impatiently and chewing on your pen cap with heavy-lidded eyes, praying that somehow the clock would speed up. Somehow, you slugged through your day and eventually heaved your limp body into your car. By the time you had realized you had forgotten to turn on your radio, you were already halfway to FP’s trailer. 
Once you finally arrived, you wasted no time on the usual once-over of yourself in your rearview mirror. You walked right into the trailer without even bothering to knock, took one glance at FP sitting on his sofa, and collapsed directly on top of him, head snugly in his lap. He chuckled as he ran his fingers through your hair and brushed it out of your face, which turned to look at him. “Long day, huh, baby girl?”
“You have ruined my life, Forsythe,” you informed him in a low monotone. 
“Naw, don’t say that, baby. What happened?” He was actually concerned which made you feel a slight pang of guilt. Maybe you shouldn’t have started with that. Oops.
You sat up and took off your coat which you hadn’t originally bothered to peel off. “I can’t sleep…” you muttered softly. 
“How exactly is that my fault?”
“You’re too comfy!”,  you whined at him dramatically. “How am I supposed to get any sleep in a cold empty bed, when I’m used to passing out on your stupid warm, soft chest?”
He looked at you with stars in his eyes as a smile grew on his face. “You’re mad at me because I’m too good of a cuddler?”
“Precisely!”
“Jesus fucking…” he muttered as he got up from the couch and took your hands, leading you up with him. “C’mere…”
You followed him gratefully into the bedroom and sat down on the corner of the bed, slowly inching up towards the pillows to crawl under the covers. 
“You’re gonna sleep in jeans?” he asked for with a quark of his brow. 
“Sorry I didn't put PJs in my backpack today,” you replied snarkily, ready to just sleep. 
“That hasn’t stopped you before,” he threw a large flannel over at you. “Get comfy, kiddo.” 
You started to strip down to just your panties, “I hate when you call me that.” 
He shot you a questioning glace, prodding you to explain. “It makes this weirder than it already is.” 
“Wasn’t aware that it was weird.” It was his turn to strip down now, just to his teeshirt and boxers. 
You lifted up the covers and set underneath them trying to get comfortable at once. “I mean it’s not weird but I just don’t need to be reminded that you’re over twice my age, thank you very much.”
He followed you into bed and pulled you close, hiking your leg up as far as it could go. “Shush. You’re just mad that I was backstage with Motley Crue while you weren’t even born.” He kissed your forehead with a smile. “Now sleep, little girl.” 
Sleep started to take over your body but you’d be damned if you didn’t get the last word in. “I still can’t believe Tommy Lee bottomed for you.”
As your eyes closed and you faded into sweet oblivion, you could hear FP faintly whisper “I never should have told you that.” 
—————————————————————-
You woke up with a startle to what sounded like the trailer door opening. FP was still next to you, also starting to wake and looking just as confused. 
Your first thought was that this was going to end bloody. Some ghost from FP’s past or some new Riverdale Psycho was gonna come to turn your cozy little life upside down in mere seconds. What ended up being reality was quite possibly way worse. 
“Dad?” Jughead’s voice rang loud and clear through the trailer. You and FP looked at each other with wide eyes, panicked, to say the least. 
“Go!” you whispered to him, hitting him out of bed frantically as you began to look for your pants at least. 
He scrambled out of bed and the small bedroom slamming the door shut behind him as he came into view of his son. It was close too; one more corner and Jughead would have found you. 
It wasn’t so much that you didn’t want Jughead to know. it was just easier. You had no idea how you would begin to explain how this bet had blossomed into so much more. When the time finally came, you definitely wanted it to be on your own terms and not caught half-naked in bed on a Tuesday afternoon. 
You could barely hear the conversation between the father and son, too focused on your own thoughts of what you would say if Jughead for some reason needed to come into the bedroom. From what you gathered, Jug needed help fixing up a motorcycle he picked up and wanted to see if his dad was up for the task. All you could think about was how that could have been a phone call, a text even. But no, he just had to come all the way here to ask this 5-second question. FP was quick to agree to help him and set up a time later this week for him to come over with the bike to work on it. He made up some excuse about having a long day and being exhausted, ushering Jughead out the door just as quickly as he burst in. once he was sure Jug was gone and not coming back, he walked back into the bedroom and ran his hands through his hair. God, he looked sexy when he was stressed. 
“Well that was close,” you said simply

You know what 🌹 so true
- your tumblr forbidden bestie
LETS GO TUMBLR MAY HATE OUR BOND but we are alive and besties and abt to make it everyone's problem <3 - A little something I wrote for a jugpea lady and the tramp au!!
☆☆☆
Perfect. 
Unachievable and unrealistic and in all ways that matter, - utterly boring.
Perfect posture, perfect style, perfect grades, perfect manners, no room for flaws or color outside the line.
For Jughead, it was simply a standard. A painful mold blistering every line and curve of his body and burning every nerve in his brain until it was blackened and mush.
He's educated and knowledgeable in ways he doubts he'll ever need. He can recite the alphabet of 4 languages backwards.
Memorized history events that'd make old men and women smile approvingly, and write down soulless poetry to make his tutors nod. 
There's no joy in this, in his small performances that feel more like a puppy doing tricks for pets and praise and treats than being trained to climb the wall of high society he had to navigate since his father's triumphant reaping. 
" People like to read about what they can't be and can't have, " Papa told him once, after his novel opened them gates to the life they've been mere spectators to since the small boy could remember.
" Knights or heroes, love or freedom. And if you give them that comfort,  they give themselves. "
There was something incredibly saddening about that. It stepped on his heart. It made him want to cry. 
The comfort and lavish burned like a slap to the cheek. And Betty's presence along with Archie's have been an icy kiss on it. They were just like Jughead and so much not like him that it hurt to think about.
Gold. Flashy and prized and more valuable than a piece of silver pretending to be something he's not. And his heart gave when he realized they knew it too and that they can't simply escape it and starved for what he had.
Betty was the eldest product of a prestigious family, recognized for the steel in their spines and dignified wealth, delicately hiding away the marks of unhappiness and stiff smiles. 
" Sometimes I think you're the only one that truly cares about me," She whispered one time, smoothing the wrinkles of a flowy, dark red skirt she had tailored for him. 
It was certainly inappropriate in the prying eyes but especially in Alice Cooper's, for two people of the opposite sex to share company without the intention of wedlock. 
But as Jughead’s eye hungrily took in the rich wardrobe of dresses and lacey gloves and delicate dress shirts, as children admired candy and dessert, it soon became clear nothing improper would occur.

hi! i was reading thru your posts on the merlin random and how ppl that shipped author and gwen were seen as homophobic and unfortunately that it common rhetoric in so many fandoms. i feel like a lot of it is rooted in the fact that white ppl view the queer community as the only group that still faces oppression. interracial relationships or healthy ones depicting people of color are no longer seen as progressive enough. thinkpieces spread saying things like “straight people will never be able to imagine forbidden love” which is true to an extent, but it completely goes against the oppression interracial couples or couples divided by class have faced.
we see this again with the zutara/zvkka debate, where that latter is ultimately viewed as better because it is “more progressive” even though the former uplifts a woman of color. all arguments about it being abusive or a colonizer ship are absolved simply because zvkka is gay. this is paired along with the rhetoric used to push katara aside and label her as aggressive or homophobic, which many women have color (myself included) have said makes them uncomfortable. it’s clear that in its attempts to be progressive, many fandoms find themselves pushing down women of color that stand in their way.
Hi Anon. It’s good to hear some people are enjoying my The Dark Fantastic reading. First, in fairness I feel like it’s important to note this isn’t just a slash shipper problem. I didn’t watch Merlin in real time and I’ve only been participating in fandom since around 2015 but I’ve seen this before. The R*ylo fandom and the awfulness towards John Boyega and his character, Sn*wb*rries in The Flash fandom and their treatment of Candice Patton and Iris West-Allen, this happened to Kat Graham in the TVD apparently, and from the sidelines I observed that Vanessa Morgan from Riverdale got some hate because people were worried her character might be paired with Jughead. Yikes.
Shipping wars get nasty, the vitriol turns up a few notches if you throw a person of color in the mix unfortunately. 
And you’re right anon, writing off loving interracial couples and or pairings involving black and brown people as “boring” and “heteronormative” is short-sighted because things are getting better but those relationships still aren’t as represented in mainstream fiction. 
And I hear you. Katara is my favorite character. I know there’s this unfortunate tendency to uplift your ships by making a character who is an obstacle seem like the worst person ever, but the Katara hate is still enraging. And has so many colorist and racist undertones. Like Mai and Suki are Zuko and Sokka’s canon partners but no one is calling either of them a “bitch” or a “homophobe.” Then of course there is ignoring all of Katara’s achievements and good qualities in favor of giving them to Sokka as others have pointed out. Or downplaying the fact that she is a great sister dammit. I hate it.   
I just don’t get why rooting for a pairing where Katara would get more understanding and agency is considered more problematic by a certain faction of the fandom than labeling Katara a homophobic bully and all around terrible person. Katara who is flawed, but would never turn her back on people who needed her and has so much compassion so would fucking know that calling people slurs wasn’t funny. 
Again, I hate it anon. Thanks for stopping by.

🍁 reghead
🍁 - How was their first kiss?
Reggie and Jughead’s first kiss was in a truth or dare game at one of Cheryl’s parties. Veronica, being Jughead’s best friend and knowing about his “forbidden crush” on the jock he’d “never have a chance with,” she dared Reggie to kiss Jughead.
Reggie shrugged quickly and dove directly into a kiss, whereas Jughead was flustered beyond belief. He was sad because Jughead figured it meant nothing to Reggie, but later when they were all alone Reggie asked about the kiss and told him he liked it, and wanted to do it again… which lead to a makeout session (and maybe more if you’d like lol). Later that night Reggie asked Jughead out on a date next week <3
Thank you so much for sending this in I love the idea of Reggie and Jughead 🥺💞

one of them // toni topaz 2/2
sypnosis: the continuation of 'one of them // veronica lodge'. this takes place four months after veronica and the reader's interaction.
warnings: angst, fluff, language, forcefully moving on, first 'i love you'
word count: 1579
♠️♥️
"You know, you are so much like your mother." Your grandma rolls her eyes staring at you.
"Grammy, what do you mean?" You smile at her, handing her the plate with her food on it.
"I mean... You have this fire within you, and you hid it for a long time. And I'm not saying that I didn't like you before, I found you very cute while you were being shy, but I feel like your doing better now."
You nod, listening to her words. You did feel better. You changed yourself, not by much, however. You just expressed yourself more and excepted who you truly were.
You were a serpent by blood, your mother was a serpent, your grandma was one as well. Your grandma has always told you about how your family is apart of the serpents for generations. And you knew you would have joined sooner or later, hell, even Jughead, had seemingly despised the serpents, became the king.
And you didn't hate the serpents, quite the opposite actually. You were just running away from them, you didn't care what people thought about them. You knew who they were. But you were scared of what people thought of you. More importantly, you were scared about how Veronica thought of you.
Keyword: were. You stopped caring about a week or two after you confessed to her.
"Anyways, I shouldn't keep you waiting. I'm sure your girlfriend is waiting for you." Your grandma smiles at you teasingly.
"Grammy..." You shook your head at her while she lets out this joyous laughter.
"I'm only teasing, go have fun."
"Okay. Promise you'll — ?"
"You go through this every time you try to leave. Just go and have fun."
"I'm going, I'm going!" You giggle and walk out of the living room, grabbing your bag off of the kitchen counter before walking out of the five seasons room you two were residing in.
As soon as you lock the door, your phone started ringing.
"Hey, baby." You say as you make your way towards Pop's.
"Hey, lovely. Where are you?" You hear Toni ask and you can tell the boredom in her tone.
"Heading your way now. I shouldn't be long till I'm there." You say, smiling slightly.
"Okay, good. Hearing Sweet Pea complain is starting to get on my nerves." Her words were followed by a small 'hey!' from all you could assume was Sweet Pea.
You giggle at your friend and girlfriend. "Well, just a few minutes and I'll be there."
"Okay, I'll see you soon."
"See ya, Toni." You smile as you hear the line cut off. As you move your phone away from your ear, you hear a noise from behind you. You turn to see nothing. You shake your head and look ahead.
Damn paranoia, just go away.
You made it to Pop's and as soon as you walked in, you heard Sweet Pea say 'finally'.
Impatient ass...
Not that it bothered you, however. You love Sweet Pea as if he were your brother.
You quickly found where they were and sat down next Toni, pressing a quick kiss to her lips.
"Yes, yes. I'm late, I know. But when am I early?" You say as you settled into the booth feeling Toni wrap her arm around your waste.
"Never. But it's one of your most irritable traits that I find adorable." Toni says.
"But you find all of my traits adorable." You say with a playful pout on your lips.
"She's not wrong." Fangs says.
Toni rolls her eyes at the small ruined moment — thank you, Fangs.
"Anyways, shouldn't we order? I think Veronica is tired of waiting on us."
You heard the name everywhere but you haven't seen nor talked to her since you blurted out your feelings. You truly felt nothing but guilt when you heard the name. She had hurt you without knowing so but you knew you hurt her. You ignored her. All of the messages, calls, hell even the attempts she's asked her other friends to do.
But you ignored all advances. What you felt for her was toxic, for yourself. You were obsessed with her from the moment she moved to Riverdale. It wasn't good for you, mentally. But with Toni, she helped take whatever you thought you felt for Veronica away.
Maybe it was because she made you feel like you belonged in a town that barely acknowledged your existence. Hell, you were positive that even Jughead was confused if he heard your name then.
Veronica made you felt like you belonged in a way that was too toxic for your fragile brain.
Toni made you felt loved in a way that the feeling of belonging came naturally.
You look up at the sound of footsteps approaching the table. You looked up to see Veronica. Her raven hair was pulled back into a ponytail that you would expect to only be on Betty. She didn't look bad, but pretty obviously tired. But living in Riverdale can do that to you.
"I'm assuming you're ready to take your our now?" Her words were directed to the group but her eyes were on you. There was a glint in her dark brown eyes that could only be described as pleading.
She wanted to talk, it was obvious. But you didn't want to.
She took everyone's order, her eyes landed to you again. You could feel the holes being burned into the side of your skull, but you didn't look at her.
You couldn't.
"A double chocolate milkshake for me, please." You politely order. You refused to make eye contact. You couldn't look at her. You knew you would break.
You can't break now.
She nods and leaves, not bothering to make any other attempts in trying to talk.
"What the fu—?"
"Don't wanna talk about it." You say bluntly, cutting Sweets off before he could finish his question.
♠️
You laugh as you stood around outside of Pop's with Toni, Sweet Pea, and Fangs.
"Sweet Pea, you need a hobby." You say, chuckling at your friend.
"I have hobbies!" He exclaims, obviously offended at your words.
"And those are?" You ask, crossing your arms over your chest.
"I play —."
"And I swear to God, if you finish that sentence by saying 'pool' or 'G and G', I will smack you upside the head."
He closes his mouth, making both Toni and Fangs laugh at us.
You hear a female clearing her throat making all four of you turn around to look to see who it was.
Veronica stood there, her hair now down and framing her face as she held a very annoyed expression on her usual soft feminine features.
"If you guys don't mind, we're trying to close up and you guys aren't helping."
You couldn't help but roll your eyes, "Veronica, if you wanted us to leave, you could have said so."
Her annoyed expression instantly softened at the sound of your voice and words aimed towards her.
"Y/n/n..." She says as her arms fell to her sides.
You shake your head, feeling your wall you built up try to come crumbling down. "No, Veronica."
"Come on! Just talk to me!" She says, her tone desperate.
"Why? To hear you say something that  I don't need to hear? I'm doing amazing, Veronica. I've got myself a girlfriend, who cherishes me with all her heart. I moved on. And unfortunately, that means I moved on entirely."
"Y/n—"
"Maybe one day, we can meet each other again. When you're high in offices, looking for another business to help thrive and I own my little bakery like I always wanted." You smile sadly, "But I know if I let you continue being in my life now, I'll never be able to let go of you."
There were tears falling down her face at this point and you knew you her hurt bad.
And you couldn't find yourself to feel the slightest bit of guilt anymore.
You expressed your opinion. She knows how you feel now, it's up to her to take it how she wishes. And if it was with tears, then so be it.
"C'mon, let's get you home," Toni says, leading you over to her bike to get you out of this situation.
♥️
You laid on the pull out bed on the couch, hearing your girlfriend surf through the channels.
"Thanks for staying with me, T." You mumble, turning over to look at her.
She looks down at you and smiles. "Of course. I couldn't let you be here by yourself after what happened."
"Well, technically, I'm not alone."
"Reese and your grandmother doesn't count." Toni rolls her eyes.
At the sound of his name, the old calico cat hissed as he laid peacefully on top of the counter, making you chuckle.
"You know I love you, right?" You say, not really aware of what you were saying.
It's been three months since you started dating Toni but those three months compared to the year you spent pining after Veronica was the best three months of your life.
So you felt it was only right to say those three forbidden words to your lover.
She smiles down at you as you lay your head on her lap and fall asleep.
"I know, and I love you too."
No, you weren't one of the guys Veronica liked but the serpents, however? You truly were one of them.

Tumblr media
hope is all we have
read on ao3!
pairing: Betty Cooper/Jughead Jones
chapters: 1/1
complete
word count: 4,012
summary:
“It feels right, doesn’t it?” she whispers in his ear. “You feel it too?”
She’s standing in the space between his legs as she kisses him. His lips, his cheek, his jaw, she kisses wherever she can reach. Her hands find their way to his shirt buttons, shaking slightly as they undo the very top one. It’s the closest she’s ever been to anyone else, the most intimate, and the most wrong.
Because it is wrong. She knows it, he knows it, the whole world knows it.
or, in a world where love is forbidden, why does it feel so right?

lust rushes but love waits (promise you'll wait for me)
Tumblr media
Jughead Jones is the Mayor's son, a rich dangerously handsome senior, best friends with Chic Cooper and Betty's crush since the third grade. But with Betty's social standing she doesn't fit into Jughead's world as Chic likes to remind her.
That doesn't stop them from divulging in a forbidden romance. Her first love, her first everything.
But all good things come to an end, with the Jones' upcoming annual town party, will Betty get the date she has always dreamed of? Will Jughead have the courage to tell Betty he loves her or will he let her go for fear of being unable to protect her from the ugly reality of his life?
Chapter One Excerpt :)
“Betty Cooper do you want me to ask you to the stupid party my parents are hosting?” he nips at her collarbone, leaving her to whimper and arch herself closer to him.
“I would have thought you wouldn’t care for such a pretentious event baby” moving further down her neck sucking on her collarbone, reaching to hold her wrists above her head, as she wiggles around.
“You wanna get all made up in a pretty dress for me?” using one hand to move down and thumb at her nipples. He’s teasing her, she knows Jughead doesn’t think she is being serious but she really wants this, she wants to get dressed up and be on his arm. But he can’t know how desperate she is, he can’t know how in love with him she is.
“No it’ll be stupid and lame” she quickly replies, turning her face away as he continues mouthing at her neck in a bid to distract her.
“True. But it’ll be less stupid and lame if you’re there” she can’t help the smile that appears, feeling warmth in her cheeks, she’s immediately grateful for the dim lighting of the supply closet he currently has her in.
“Okay we can go back to making out now?” she whispers sheepishly. Jughead chuckles into her chest.
“Is that right huh? I think I wanna do more than make-out baby” running his hand up her thigh, fingers dancing along the waistband of her panties.
“Fine, 10 more minutes, I have class”.

Distance
Summary: Jughead/Plus Sized!Reader Request: Reader figuring out that she’s liked him all along but he started being distant, and can it be very angsty and sad with whatever ending
“Oh my god I like Jughead Jones.” You gasp jerking back when you can feel eyes on you. “You what Y/N?” “Got stuck with Jones; for the english project.” You nervously spit back towards Betty. “And what’s wrong with him?” “He well; he’s really passionate, which is good, but it can be kind of annoying when it’s just a simple essay.” And hot; you think but try your best not to entertain the idea of anything happening.
“Y/N. Betty said you were bummed about working with me?”Jughead’s hand rest on your shoulder and you shrug a little and shake your head. “I’m not; just you’re really into english and the books we read; but there are so much better books than the ones we’re forced to read.” “Oh really? Care to share?” He grins leaning forward and you nod back. “You can come over to mine later; since we do have to actually work on this essay.”
“Are we doing Romeo and Juliet for this?”Jughead looks up from where he’s perched on your bed. “Yeah; I figured we could write it from the point of view of Tybalt and Mercutio?” You offer and he shakes his head. “And what’s your idea then?” “Juliet’s nurse and the Friar.” “You’re comparing me to the nurse?” “Well who would have a more exciting romance? The friar and the nurse; forbidden and barely seen except to-“ “Friars can’t have sex. Not that you need it to have an actual relationship.” “But that’s sort of the point of a relationship; being intimate with another person in ways you wouldn’t with friends.” “You’ve obviously missed out on some key relationship issues.” You laugh and Jughead scowls.
“And what do you know of my relationship issues.” Jughead snaps and you roll your eyes. “You’re a thin white boy; the worst you’re gonna get is rejected and assumed you’re gonna shoot up the school.” You sneer and can see his hand falter. “That shock you into silence?” Jughead nods chewing his lip. “Was it the school comment; or the white boy thing?” “The uh fat thing; I don’t think of you as-“ “I am. It’s obvious; you denying it makes it even worse.” Jughead shrugs pulling the copy of Romeo and Juliet over. “You just want to go back over the assignment then?” “What?” He pretends to be absorbed in the book he’s just pulled out. “The assignment where we have to write as two lovers from Romeo and Juliet but it not be both of them.”
“Oh yeah; course. I still think we should do the nurse and the friar.” “Mercutio and Tybalt would be so much more dramatic.” “Really? More dramatic that Romeo and Juliet?” “Yes.” He arches his eyebrow and you shrug. “We could do Mercutio and someone else? Make him in love with Romeo?” Jughead grins. “What about Mercutio and Juliet.” “Mercutio? Really? What he’s been in love with Juliet and hoped that bringing Romeo to the ball was going to give him a chance to get with Juliet?” Jughead nods, you shrug and he grins more leaning forward. “So what do you say Juliet? Want to fall in love with someone destined to die.” “We both are Mercutio.” You laugh a little. “So what we’re gonna west side story this? Since you’re in the serpents.” You roll your eyes when he glares. “You admitting to being a Ghoulie?” He grins and laughs when you shove him.
You’d gotten an A on your project; you’d assured Jughead you weren’t bothered by the late addition of Mercutio’s last letter proclaiming him alive and posing as a banished Romeo in the countryside. When he asks you out to Pop’s to go over something he’d written; the idea your teacher had planted in his head after the project; you agree. It takes you three more ‘editing session’ to realize they are in fact dates and then another four dates to realize how in love you are with him. It takes two more weeks and a fight in front of the Serpents for you to realize how distant he’s been being. What you had assumed were jobs with the rest of the snakes turned into a tangle of misinformation from Toni, sweet pea and fangs all through each other and then passed to you.
You’d tried confronting him but he’d only grown more and more distant until you’d managed to convince veronica and Cheryl something was going on. They look unimpressed with your detective skills and Veronica tries her best to gentely tell you Jughead and Betty have been together for three days. You thank her for the information and inform the rest of the serpents who all seem just as put out as you about his lying. “Jones. We’re voting Topaz as leader.” “Voting?” Jughead wrinkles his nose. “Yeah. Can’t have a leader that lies to us all just cause he wants some blonde northsider to suck him off after school.” Sweet Pea snaps and you cringe back. “Sweets; that’s harsh.”
“It’s true, he’s been feeding us misinformation for weeks; how’re we supposed to trust him as leader; what if he’s like Mustang and pulling one over on us to get in good with the Ghouls and Hiram?” You chew your lip and Jughead stomps his foot snarling. “I would never-“ “Never what Jones? Toni is blood more than you. You scared about the vote?” “No.” He’s glaring at everyone as FP steps from where he was lounging behind. “Y’all really want this?” He nods and the rest of the serpents put there hands up. “Alright hands down. Fangs up for Jughead’s continued leadership?” You try not to cringe when no hands go up.
“Toni Topaz?” You raise your hand keeping your eyes met with Jughead’s. “We need to talk.” You don’t turn back from where you’re congratulating Toni. “Y/N.” You tilt your head and watch as Jughead’s shoulders sink. “I’m sorry about being distant; I just thought it was better; with us being Serpents; it’s not safe, makes you a target.” “And a northsider is less of one?” You watch his brow furrow. “Betty can-“
“Take care of herself?” “Well just-“ “She’s thin, pretty? A cheerleader? Come on Jones Just admit you never cared.” “I did but- I do; just.” “Please don’t lie; I know you’re a Serpent but I don’t want to think of you as a snake.”

Sneak Peak from my upcoming Bughead fanfic. (AKA the things that quarantine makes us do. I’m sorry in advance if this sucks.)
Tumblr media
moodboard by the amazing and uber talented @moons2stars​
“Oh, I'm sorry for that earlier. I really didn't mean to stare. I just find myself getting lost in observing people and you just..uh..you just caught my eye,” she adds with her lowered voice.
“Oh really? That’s different. I’m usually the one that people avert their eyes from. The broody, judgemental look isn’t very welcoming, ya know? And if that doesn’t deter people, my love for trivia sure seals the deal. So, Betty, what do you do in your free time since the clubs aren't your scene I'm guessing?”
“You’d be guessing right. Loud music and crowded places make me very uneasy and put me on an edge. Well, I wasn't lying earlier when I said I enjoy trivia, I read and look at r/outoftheloop threads in my downtime.”
“Sounds like a fun night to me, Betts.” He smiled at her in a way that made her breath catch and she once again found herself getting lost in those sapphire eyes.
“However, would you mind indulging with me to engage in conventional forms of entertainment with my fellow hedonistic humans?” Jughead asks her with his eyes on her.
“You want me to dance with you? I hate to inform you, Jughead, but I do not dance. That’s literally something I'll never partake in.”
“Come on, just one dance. For me? Listen to your heart, Betty. Stop the worries forming in that beautiful blonde head of yours.”
Never listen to your heart. Never let your guard down. Because if you do, not only will you, but your country will go down with you too.
She could hear the words echoing in her mind from spy school, that the young and tenacious Betty had promised to internalise for perpetuity. But in this moment all Betty wanted to do was immerse herself in the azure ocean focused on her; and for once Betty was willing to drown. 
“Freefall”, a CIA forbidden love schpiel i am torturing everyone to read. coming soon to AO3

I don't think enough of you comprehend the VIBES of a Ghoulhead secret/forbidden relationship.
Malachai as a more deranged, twisted version of Romeo, who WON'T hesitate to stroll into Serpent territory after FP Jones locked Jug from him.
Malachai is a calamitous force who rips through their defenses, one bashed face and head and swing of a spiked bat at a time, until he's staring at nothing but FP Jones, the Serpent King himself.
They lock eyes, don't break contact, not even for a second. If Malachai is to have a staring contest with danger, danger will blink first. Snakes can bite and spit their venom, but death fears no man.
"Juggie called me," Malachai whispers, lips quirked in a crooked smile, wide, bloody, terrible. "Can he come out to play? I know he must miss me. We got awfully attached to one another."
The older man's face betrays no sentiment, not even a crack. " My boy is smart, but he doesn't make the best decisions sometimes. That's when I have to make them for him. "
" You don't trust him."
" I trust my son. I don't trust whatever sick, shady shit you filled his head with. That's why he's not here. "
Malachai hums, feigning thought. " Is he? Or is he not here because you know he'd choose me over you?" The silence grows, and Malachai's impatience grows with it. "I want you to know, that my boy's love for you is the only reason I don't paint this bat red.
The only reason why those pathetic little worms are knocked out, and not dead, is because they're important to Jug for some reason. You are, too. So don't make me walk all over you."
" If you want a fight, we can fight."
" I'm not going to, FP. I won. I won the minute I held your baby boy in my arms. But let me give you a friendly warning, now that we're family," something vicious flashes in his eyes when he says that. " You have my life in your hands. So give it back. Before I take yours."
He doesn't wait for a retort, a turn of phrase; He came, he wrecked shit, it didn't make sense to stay for more.
The ghoulie leader walks the bloody path he paved, whistleting a happy tune over the pained groans at his feet. The tall one, loud one, and pink one sneer at him as he does so. They all guard a trailer that seems surrounded. Good to know.
He doesn't turn around.
But the whole drive, Malachai keeps staring in the rear view mirror.
From the window of his trailer, Jughead meets his longing gaze, unknowing to either of them.

k here we go: barchie isn't an epic love story or "forbidden" at all. barchie has and always will be the safe choice bc it's what everyone expects and even j and v know that. the only time they've ever showed any interest in each other is when they're emotionally vulnerable and im not saying they take advantage of each other or any of that shit. i'm saying they go to each other for comfort/safety bc that's how they've seen each other they're whole lives. they'd be great as friends
I mean, one need really only look at the first episode. The first season of a show, as I’ve said before, tends to kind of throw things at a wall and see what resonates. I willl quote a direct line from the literal first episode:
Archie: I’ve never felt the way that I was supposed to feel about Betty. 
I will say, I completely believe Archie values Betty greatly and always has. Archie is a very unassuming guy. He unquestionably cares about Betty but we establish in the literal first episode that while Betty likes Archie as more than a friend, and he canonically cares deeply about her, he has never seen her in a romantic light. 
Varchie and Bughead were introduced using scaffolding I’d refer to as “priming an audience”. If you want the audience to be invested in a long term pairing, you start by establishing why they’re right for each other, show them bonding, and create obstacles you establish that they will overcome. You use specific filming and production techniques to show this and you really lead the audience into the fact that this is the pairing to root for. Example: Varchie’s first introduction to each other has his eyes on her constantly, the camera focuses on them both and bathes Veronica in light. It does the same thing to Bughead during their kiss in 1x08. They lead you to believe that this person literally brightens them. I am not an expert like @earthlaughsinflowersblog, but that seems pretty clear to me. The haphazard way that Barchie were slapped together, and the way they’re portrayed in the trailer (as a mistake to be overcome, not a would-be couple longing for each other), well, it’s not hard to see why people are calling this unearned. They’re not priming the audience for Barchie. They’re framing Barchie in a very specific way, and it’s not a long-term pairing. 
Also, I just really want everyone to remember that RAS and Ted are notorious trolls. Some of that is just TV producer/writer standard fare. Almost everything a TV writer “teases” is, at best, vastly overstated. When the new Rollisi pictures for SVU came out, the actual scene was like 10 seconds with no significant development. RAS said Jellybean would bring very significant changes to Jughead’s life. I think it’s fair to say she didn’t. He said 2x14 would be a big Barchie episode. It ended up being an episode stuffed to the brim with Bughead. TV writers overstate very small events to engage their fandom. It almost never ends up being as big as they say. 
(Also, I know what you’re thinking. Yes, I’m in the mood to talk. After the past few days, any escape from reality is one I’ll grab with both hands.)
