Summary
Jim wasn’t sure what he expected to happen. The only thing that pulled him through Vietnam was knowing that one day, he’d get to see Joyce again. He came home and it was almost as if he forgot that time passes in Hawkins too and Jonathan was only one month old when he got back. Jim wasn’t sure what any of that meant for him but he knows that he loves Joyce and that means everything that comes with it.
It’s just the rules.
Joyce is shaking, not much, but enough to notice. Jonathan wiggles in her arms and Jim wonders if the tears in the corners of her eyes are for the fact that this is a lost argument. “If I could turn back time, Hop, I would. But this is the reality we live in. And now we have to live it.”
He holds her. Just quickly. He’s not sure he convinced her that anything was okay. “Just… when I’m gone, let Lonnie know you hate pickles in your burger. I’d hate for you to be twenty years down the track and you’re still pretending you like that shit.”
It would be the last time he sees her in the flesh for almost eleven years.
Or;
Hopper and Joyce were always meant to be together, so why were they always apart?

Summary
He laughs as he hooks his finger underneath her bra strap, stinging her skin when he pulls at it, letting it snap against her. High School kinda shit.
But it is, isn’t it? She thinks to herself. High School shit.
Life kinda shit.
Like I’m-having-his-baby kinda shit, she thinks.
His hand somehow finds her stomach. It just sits. And rests. The baby does the complete opposite - ceaseless.
She knows he’s lying on the floor next to her, pinpointing every single lyric to a Steve Lacy song and somehow forcing it to mean something - about her. Fitting a square in a circle.
The longest summer…
“The heat’s unbearable,” she says, feeling a bead of sweat run down her neck.
“Do you have no regard for Icarus?”
No, she thinks. Not when he’s been warned…
“Is he, you?” She asks for the first time.
Jughead smiles, circles on her skin. Dances in her stomach. “Perhaps. But you’re most definitely the sun… unforgiving. Melting my wings."
Unforgiving. Fragile.
or;
Jughead and Veronica have a baby. But they're young, dumb and definitely not in love.

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.

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
Ambrose clutches Prue to his chest, refusing to let her go. She feels flames licking her thighs, screams as loud as sirens. Ashes sit on her tongue and the sweet pain of impending death. Her heart prays for it. She wants to be set free. Yet, she’s nowhere near the stake and flames. “Let me go!” she begs, beating his chest. “We need to save her!”
Ambrose holds onto her wrists tighter, never letting her go. “Prue!” He shouts, forcing her hands behind her back. “I can’t!”
“Why?!”
He turns her to look at the crowd before them. The woman at the stake all dressed in lace that was up in flames. Her love that is stripped bare and forced to watch. Prue feels each and every single one of her atoms tear apart. Every one of her heart valves stop working, her blood seems to split inside her. She holds onto Ambrose as her soul shatters peering at the two people on display. It was ethereal, beautiful in some sadistic way. She looks into a mirror, she’d recognise his face anywhere and in any life. She sees her own face, all up in flames and smoke. “If I let you save them, Prudence, then we’ll never be. And I love you too much to not have you in this lifetime.”

Summary
Jughead stands before Veronica covered in blood. The body lies lifeless on the floor but the anger in Jughead is still seething, spilling out of him.
Veronica’s body shakes. She hadn’t seen life escape a person so quickly, she had never seen death take its place so eagerly. He was in control of that. He made this. He was the creator of death, he determined someone’s life.
Part of her is scared. Intimidated by the way his eyes only darkened slightly after he fired that shot into the body’s temple like that. Back when it was a living person.
The other part loves him even more. He’d kill for her. There was no end to what he would do.
He speaks. “V?”
But before she knows it, her lips are crashing against his and her body begs to be even closer. All she feels is love.

Summary
Betty laughs with tears hanging on the edge. “I wish we were kids again.”
“It feels like you’re saying this is it,” he says a little too sternly for Betty to be comfortable with. “The end.”
“It’s been it for a long time, Arch.”
Betty watches his face fall, but understanding creeps onto it as well. He saw it coming too, she thinks. He knew this was happening. “I just thought we’d never be apart, Betty,” he says, his own tears glistening in his eyes. “What happened to us?”
“We were too much,” she says, burying her tears into his chest, not letting them fall in front of him. “Maybe we were not enough…”
“That doesn’t make sense,” he says into her hair. “How long do we have?”
“The night.”
“The night,” he repeats.
“Pinky promise we can’t keep doing this to each other?” she asks.
“Pinky promise.”
Betty and Archie crawl into bed. The bed shifts and she feels his breath on her neck. “It’s been so long,” Archie mumbles as his breathing slows and his eyelashes flutter on her skin. It’s been so long, she thinks. Since our universe aligned…
The next day their lives continue. Curtains shut. Windows too. It’s just the way it is.

Summary
Shower time is Maeve’s favourite. Tears get lost amongst all the water, and faking a skin care routine meant Otis would hop in bed, breathe far too fast to actually be asleep and she’d do the same. Neither really wanting to have to be all alone together.
Otis’s feet hang off the end of the bed, she still smiles at his mismatched socks he wears to bed, even when his back is turned. It’s probably just as well, she hates the way he seems to be able to tell she’s been crying.
She slips into the sheets next to him, back to back. Unsteady breaths escaping both of them. She squeezes her eyes shut, wishes away the tears and focuses on their daughter in the next room, sleeping peacefully in the house with both her parents. Everything Maeve never had. Everything she ever wished for.
In the house with big windows.

Maeve and Otis find each other again.

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
Jackson takes her hand as he gets out of his chair. “I’ll tell you what’s more important…” he replies quietly.
“Go on,” Viv says as she leads the way with his hand in hers.
“Getting out of here,” he replies.
But it wasn’t what he wanted to say.
What’s more important to me is you.
The thing that wasn’t in his perfectly packaged life that had been laid out was her, but she was the only one who stopped him from drowning.
It was like she liked to see him swim.

Summary
Jean rushes behind him, pulling on his arm in a way that tells him she’s not letting him go without a parting hug. “I know it’s hard…” she starts.
“That I’m a sex therapist who has to come to my mother for sex therapy?” he laughs humourlessly.
She gives him a darkened look. “Being a man, a father. Providing for your family in all aspects of life.”
“It’s not that deep mum,” he says, holding back another groan. “We don’t have sex because life tires us out.”

Summary
Veronica can almost hear the complaints he’ll relay to her during her shift at Pop’s tomorrow night with his smile all one sided and a lick of his lips as he watches her clean tables, bent over them just so… she’s drawn back into the moment when Jughead walks away from Betty, swaggers out of the door, and in a single beat, she feels her phone vibrate with a message from the Serpent King himself. Desperate, needy, promises of her on top with her nails on his chest. He’d been deprived of her, doesn’t his fingers look so pretty around her neck? and when was he going to be able to see her? Because he’s been dreaming of Princess all day… She hates him a little when he’s all pretty words and desperation because in the end, she was too. Needy close, words on his tongue. Her perfume on his mouth. Him all over her body in constellation strewn marks
- Something is going on between Jughead and Veronica. And no body is supposed to know.

Summary
There’s a pause on the phone. “What’s in it for me?” he asks, “Apart from the pleasure of your company?”
“The pleasure of me not kicking your ass?” she snaps back.
Souphead laughs on the other end. “I love it when you talk dirty to me.”
“Yeah? You have to be the most annoying person on earth.”
“Oh, baby. If you hated me that much, you wouldn’t be asking me for help.”
Toni sniggers. “Exactly why I’m asking you for help, baby,” she tells him. “Because if Jughead beats your ass, I won’t feel bad.”
“Count me in,” he replies darkly. “If I’m lucky, you’ll be the one beating my ass.”
Toni hangs up the phone, she doesn’t bother saying goodbye.

He wonders why she's so cold, why everything hurts. Why his soul fucking sings, aches, begs for her. Why they shouldn’t be together, why Southside keeps him in the bad, why he turned his back on his brother and took her with him. Why he betrayed Betty. Why Veronica was the only thing that makes sense in his fucked up world. Why Veronica Lodge chose him. Why they were ever on the same frequency. He wonders why.

Summary
She turns around and grabs his wrist when he reaches out for her, trapping his pulse under her fingers but he smiles with an easy high smile and relief. He bites his lip as she spins on high heels, fluttering eyelashes while he remembers why he does this and why he does it for her. But she pulls him close by his belt around his hips and pulls his suspenders to bring him down to her. “You're driving me crazy already, baby,” he whispers in her ear. “Are you trying to kill me?” he smooths hands up the back of her thighs but she reaches behind herself and grabs his wrists again.
“You don’t think I’ll let you in that easy, do you Jughead?” she frowns against him, tiptoeing to taste his lips.
“This is why I fucking hate Riverdale,” he murmurs against her.
He lets her walk away because she wasn’t his girl and Riverdale wouldn’t let her be.

Summary
They’re free, but they’re not. They’re two parts to the same fucked up soul but they’re still two separate parts. As they grow closer, they feel even farther apart. How much longer do Jughead and Veronica have to wait for freedom?
_________
Jughead’s head rolls back and his beanie drops on the floor behind him on the peeling lino, scuffed boots resting on the dining table as he burns holes in her body with his eyes, he stubs out smoky menthol in the ashtray as he puts his hands behind his head, bathing in her presence with a smile that’s all kinds of cocky with a hint of desperation for her, she knows it, “Princess,” he murmurs through the smoke. “You were all I could think about all day.”Veronica lets the words seep into her bloodstream as she prepares chamomile and tries to get her mind to ease.

Summary
After a tall, raven haired girl named Mika rolls into town, Sweet Pea gets caught up in her mysterious and dark past. Will he be able to break through all the walls she’s built the last 19 years of her life? Or will he be forever stuck wishing for more, but never getting what he wants.
______
Sweet Pea can feel the shift between them. Maybe he wasn’t the only one who felt that since Mika came around, she had forced a change in him. Maybe he had made a change in her too. “I can promise I won’t ever hurt you,” he murmurs. “And I’ll never go away. Unless you want me to…”
She shakes her head. “No, this is good,” she mumbles. “Letting someone in. I gotta let people in sometimes, right?”
Sweet Pea shrugs against her. “If you want to, you don’t have to if you don’t want to.”
Mika closes her eyes and rests her head on his shoulder. “I think I’ve already let you in and that scares me.”
