«you have witchcraft in your lips» — famous!Bughead AU: read it on ao3
When Jughead Jones and Betty Cooper were cast as leads for HBO’s Harry Potter prequel show Magic is Might, they thought they did not know each other. They were wrong.
Jughead Jones’s POV from C1 by strix:
She was dressed in a diaphanous, intricately embroidered, sapphire-coloured blouse, and when she shifted to pull out her chair, Jughead could see her laced brassiere through the silk material. Unexpectedly, she sat next to him, across from a plaque reading REMMY LUPIN. She had a striking look — blue-eyed and golden-haired with a face like a porcelain doll’s; wide-eyed, lovely, and haunting in its stillness. I met a lady on a moor, Jughead though, aureate hair, refulgent eyes; a dancing, starry sprite.
“Hi,” she greeted, turning to him, face splitting into a blooming, honeyed smile, white teeth gleaming, the streaming sunlight from the window behind them set her braid into a molten blaze, “I’m Betty.”
Betty Cooper’s preview POV from C2 by lilibug:
Flashing a dazzling ‘thousand watt’ smile to her table mate, Betty lowered herself to her chair after introducing herself. Sweeping her eyes over him, she couldn’t help noting his attractiveness immediately. He was sitting in front of the name plate that read SIRIUS BLACK, casually, with slumped shoulders, elbows resting on the table.
His was a pale, angular face, features sharp and clean-cut, and more balanced than she would have expected of someone who hadn’t been actively pursuing acting.
Well-favoured, that was the word. Handsome. Intriguing — Betty couldn’t figure out the beanie on his head. It looked old, worn; with raised points shaped like a crown of sorts. Betty supposed it was an aesthetic, considering it was quite balmy for the end of March, even in L.A.
note: lilibug and I spent a better part of the afternoon on this. please love us. ❤️
