Summary
Sometimes, when Fjord looks at Caleb, he thinks he sees that same hunger. But mostly, Caleb just seems hollowed.
“Are you just going to stand there?” says Caleb, tilting his head to the side. “You needn’t look at me like that.”
“Like what?”
“Like something hurts. This is not the worst jail I’ve been in, my friend.”

Summary
Molly groans behind her softly, “Really? Did you really have to—oh, alright then—,” but he doesn’t step in, and he doesn’t stop her.
“Stay down,” Beau growls, and the guy—did she ever get his name? She doesn’t think so—presses a hand to his face and swears, but doesn’t rise up off the floor.
Caleb, half-turned on the bench where Beau had been sitting a moment before, takes a slow sip of his drink. “Tonight is not the night to fuck with us, friend,” he says.
(Or: team assholes blasting off at the speed of light.) -

Summary
“You can’t be down here alone,” Molly says. He skates by the second part of what Caleb said, because, honestly, what the fuck. He knows Caleb is smarter than that; Caleb should know that he knows by now. “Your alarm is all well and good—very impressive, saves all our lives, etcetera—but if something nasty comes up out of that hole, you’ll be fish food before anyone makes it down the rope. Better to have company. And who wants to be alone on a night like this?”
He gestures dramatically as if up at the sky. Bare rock stares back down at them.
“Me,” says Caleb shortly.
Molly drops his hand. “You don’t get what you want very often, do you?”

Summary
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
It's easy with Betty; it's simple, it's safe. Jughead just wants something to make sense. Things with Archie have never been easy, or simple, or safe -- and Jughead, when he's around Archie, has never made (the right kind of) sense.

Summary
Now, as Jughead drops his jacket to Archie's bedroom floor and tugs his tie loose and crooked, it’s all Archie can think about: the way Betty’s voice had dropped, surreptitious, as she whispered, “He’s lying about something, Arch.”
“Alright, fight club,” Jughead says, snapping his suspenders. “You gonna show me some moves?”

Summary
Jughead's playing David and Goliath, and in real life, that doesn't end well. He knows exactly where he's headed; he just wishes Archie would give him his damn aspirin and quit trying to convince him to stop.

Summary
After, Archie calls Jughead. This was both a good and a terrible decision. Jughead has always known the absolute worst thing to say, and he's never shied away from saying it.
(Or: a necessary conversation finally happens, and Jughead gets a full night's sleep for once.)

Summary
"We're not gonna hug in front of this whole town."
There's more than one story about that summer. Jughead works to bring them together. (Meanwhile, Archie makes some decisions -- good, bad, and nonsensical ones (not necessarily in that order, although that may depend on who you ask.))

Summary
“When I was seventeen,” Rey says, “I was picking parts off old Empire ships and I’d never had an alcoholic drink in my life. I didn't think I’d ever leave those dunes behind.” She downs the rest of her glass in one long go, then wipes at her mouth with her sleeve, unselfconscious.
“Well, look at us now,” Poe says, tapping at the medal hanging down the center of his chest and then pointing to hers. “Haven’t done so bad for ourselves.”

Summary
“Stormtroopers don’t dance,” he says. “Can you picture Captain Phasma cutting loose at the club? Can you? No, I didn’t think so –“
Poe steps into his space, almost chest to chest, and the babble dies a rapid death in his throat.

Summary
Poe's face is tight with a fear she can’t know but can easily imagine. She’d thought it was bad having no one. What must it be like, she wonders, to have and to lose?
She closes her eyes and feels for the light. Stay, she whispers, urgent. Stay.
