Summary
It's New Year's Eve, and Jughead is still trying to get a Christmas gift for Betty. That's no small task, with less than five dollars in his pocket... especially now that he's homeless and fending for himself. But everything that's good in his life begins and ends with Betty, and he's determined to find some way to treat her... or at least acknowledge her... before the season of giving ends. Christmas miracles are out of season, but maybe the new year means his luck is about to change.

Summary
It's December 22nd, and Betty Cooper is (reluctantly) on the road in a miserable snowstorm to (reluctantly) spend Christmas in Riverdale for the first time since high school.
Jughead Jones returns to Riverdale only at Christmastime... or when his dad is facing legal troubles.
The childhood best friends haven't seen each other in years. But when they both decide to wait out the storm at Pop's, Christmas memories and long-buried feelings abound. Could this be the best Christmas ever? (Spoiler alert: yes, it could and it will.)
Minor AU. Bughead never dated (but both, secretly wanted to). Jason Blossom is alive. Light-hearted, Christmas fluff with only the faintest background sprinkling of Alice-angst and FP's legal woes.

Summary
One unexpected afternoon, Betty and Jughead shared "a moment." Now, she's having nightmares, and turns to him for comfort. But as their relationship grows closer, their friendships with Archie are threatened.
Multi-chapter story, begins at S1 episode 8 and conforms (mostly) to canon through the end of S1/chapter 37. Original from that point forward.
Most of the story is rated T. Chapters 36 and 38 are flirting with the borderline of a "mature" rating. Chapters 48, 49, 59, and 85 are basically smut, so definitely mature. I'm reluctant to change the rating of the whole story for those aberrations -- which can be skipped without losing an excessive amount of plot or character development -- but please use judgment in determining whether those chapters are right for you.

Summary
When a global pandemic puts an end to their plans for spring break in Palm Beach, college juniors Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Jughead Jones, and Veronica Lodge end up quarantining together in New Jersey. But a lifetime's worth of hidden feelings mean that a pandemic may not be the biggest surprise in store for Jughead and Betty.
Also, there's some "Truth or Dare" because... well, of course there is.
Slightly AU, as the characters are in their early twenties in 2020 (and, apparently, still playing "Truth or Dare.")
