I let the seasons change my mind

The Beast Within by @cooperjones2020 (series)

(I have a list of about 10 that remain kinda constant - occasionally a new fic will land on the list - but this series is my most favourite. Heed the tags, Buggies.)

I really don’t have the time to put together this list. But i’ve been chipping away at it for ages. It’s not perfect, but maybe one day I will update it to be closer to perfect some days. Although I must confess I wasn’t able to include all of my favorites ( I have approximately 25 favorite soulmate fics apparently).

Not all of these are Rivderdale, but most are. Not all of these are Bughead, but none of them involve Betty or Jughead in another partnership.

We love answering this question. There is usually a fight behind the scenes between the mods over who is willing to give up a favourite fic to one of their co-mods. lol. Personally, my list tends to stay pretty static if I’m asked about my ABSOLUTE favourites but there are lots of fics that are wonderful out there. Thank you all for sharing your talent with us! You’re all amazing! ❤Jandy

Hey! Lol, I knew this one but all I could remember from it was ‘cinnamon buns’ which didn’t help because I misremembered cinnamon rolls. (In case anyone wanted insight into how we find these fics. There are weird little things that stick.)

Anyway. Long story short:

Changing Tides by @cooperjones2020

M  1/1

Summary:  Betty Cooper-Jones struggles to love her post-baby body. Jughead Jones helps. Basically fluff and cinnamon rolls.

Enjoy!

that does not make us wise, a 3x16 tag

She can see the tears pooled in his eyes and knows that hers are the same. It seems like someone is always crying nowadays. Or if they aren’t crying, they want to.

“Juggie?” His eyes are fixed on a point somewhere behind her head. The spot where his “Rebel Without a Cause” poster used to hang, she realizes when she follows his gaze.

“How the hell did it get here? When did our lives go from worrying about who would sit next to us on the bus, to drug lord mothers?”

“And serial killer fathers,” Betty scoffs. “And unstoppable cults.”

Jughead breathes out a laugh but the inhale is still shaky. “God, what are we gonna do?”
