Summary
“Come on, Darlin’, you know we’re made for each other…”
Before he can watch where the knife went, his ears are ringing with the familiar crunch of his own nose echoing in his skull.
He falls to the ground knees first, right hand keeping his face together as if it might fall apart, left hand in the dirt next to her feet. She looks down on him, red lips curling.
Audible gasps surround them, hisses from Serpents and sniggers from Ghoulies make Gladys run her slick tongue across her teeth with a hubristic grin and a cocky edge when she bends down to FP’s level. “That fucking hurt!” He hisses.
“Didn’t I tell you that I’d bring you to your knees?”
FP’s head pounds with shitty comebacks, he watches her knees protrude from split, red fishnets and a chain dangles from her belt.
Before he has time to think, he tugs on the belt chain, her unsteady body balancing shakily on her docs falls onto her knees. “Looks like you’re on your knees now, what do ya say?” He hisses in her ear as she leans with him. “You finally gonna shut that pretty mouth?”

Summary
He scoffs and she can tell he’s all kinds of pissed off by the way he furrows his brow, biting the corner of his lip. “Because, fuck, Hermione,” he groans, running fingers through his messy hair. “There are people bigger and badder than me out there!”
There’s a feeling deep down in her. Buried amongst the things she hides like knowing the taste of FP’s tobacco from his lips, the lies she hides from her parents, the prayers she prays at church that turn into begging that they won’t find out what she does. The longing for Hiram Lodge and her wishes that she’ll get out of Riverdale. Deep down in the pit of it, she knows everyone’s a little bad, even herself when she feels the aching in her thighs that Hiram left behind. “Says the Serpent,” she shrugs.

Summary
“- Calm down, Hiram, god damn,” Gladys moans. “I took his truck because you urgently needed me and I don’t own my own! My daddy didn’t just buy me a car like yours did. And I can assure you, if FP were here, this would have been a lot tidier!”
“Right… you won’t tell FP, will you?”
Gladys chuckles, shaking her head. “No way - he hates you.” She waits a beat. “Are you scared FP might mock you for having to ask Poor Ol’ Gladys for help?”
“Well that is fantastic for the ego,” Hiram says with a roll of his eyes. “The Serpent hates me. And I didn’t ask for help… simply guidance.”
“Well, here I am. Your fairy godmother, coming to guide you.” Gladys claps her hands together. “Plastic in the truck, we get him on the back and then we do it.”
“Do what?”
Gladys’s eyes darken. Pitch black in midnight. “Roll him into the river. Get ready for school in the morning. Ain’t that a tale for the kids.”
Hiram watches Gladys as she wraps up the body in plastic, tucking in corners and smiling at her job well done with blood on her face.
He has a lot to learn, he concludes.
