#bughead7farewell

The fandom has been quiet lately, which I totally get. Things have for sure been different post time jump. Rather than spending season 7 harping on what I wish happened, I’m going to think about all of the wonderful friends, conversations, and creativity that Riverdale and Bughead brought into my life.

So… Here’s the plan! Over the course of Season 7, I will be revisiting an old, or new, Bughead fic each week. I’m asking those of you still enjoying the fandom, or those of you who just want to pop back in for season 7 for some fun, to read along with me!

The catch? You have to comment! It doesn’t need to be paragraphs! It can be as simple as, “I just reread this and I still love it!” So many people have brought us joy and I think this is a nice opportunity, rather than to delve into negativity, to highlight all the wonderful stories our fandom has given to us over the years! Maybe we can even inspire one or two to finish that last, lost chapter!

If there is a particular story you would love to see on my reading list, you can suggest it here! Or, send me a message!

It’s been a minute, but I’m back. Life has been very busy and I haven’t had time for much reading or writing. Tonight I have a small window so I decided to read and share my read with all of you!

This week I’m rereading Summer Shivers by @lucivar as a nice intro to my own summer break.

Here’s the synopsis: Betty’s big brother, Special Agent Charles Cooper, is getting married to Kevin Keller. Betty has returned to Riverdale for the summer holidays to help her mother set up for the "wedding of the century” while completing her internship with The Register and hanging out with her best friends: Veronica and JB. When a lead that Betty is investigating takes a dark turn, Charles’s best man and partner, Special Agent Jughead Jones, decides to stay in town to help her out. Or, Betty gets what she wants.

Week 10

Back from a slight hiatus! I have been losing my fic-reading steam, but this is probably one of my three most read fics and so I know it will get me back in the spirit! It’s a series, but you can just read and enjoy the first part (though I know you’ll want to continue!)

Check out Cowboy Jones: Rocketship Salsa by @writeradamanteve

Authors description: To get away from her overbearing mother, Betty jumped at the chance to work as a mechanic for the Whyte Wyrm. The ship’s captain, FP Jones flies across the galaxy hunting bounties for a living with his son and daughter and their lives are as exciting as they are mundane. Betty’s ready to adventure with this ragtag family of space cowboys, and when she isn’t working--daydreaming about the handsome Cowboy, Jughead Jones.

Since Season 7 premieres this week, and all the previews seem to show Betty trying to get some, I figured this would be an appropriate read for the week: the good girl's guide (to getting dick from your roommate) by @thetaoofbetty

Authors description: Betty Cooper is, if anything, a good girl. At least, that’s what she tells herself every time she drools over someone she knows she should consider, at best, a casual acquaintance of her own and newest good friend of her best friend and roommate. He is, unfortunately for her, dreamy in the worst sort of way. Intellectual? Check. Polite? Check. Tall, dark, and objectively delicious? Check. Pretentious (in a non-condescending way)? Check. Ignoring why she’s attracted to that last one? Double Check. Or, Betty Cooper gets a temporary new roommate and she's got a plan to get what she wants.

This week the story read comes at the request of one of you! Via Google Surve, a fellow Bughead asked if we could read Sweetest Little Part of Destiny by Singsongsung and Sylwrites. I’ve reread this one many times and hope you enjoy your reread, too!

Author synopsis: “You’ve known me forever, Jug," Betty says. "I’ll believe you if you tell me. Is this stupid?” The hopeful, wide look in her eyes is enough to make Jughead’s heart break. He sighs and turns his palm upward to lay flush against hers. “Betts, nothing that makes you happy will ever be stupid."

In which Betty makes plans, and Jughead is nothing if not completely supportive. AU.

Week 3

I’ve been into The Last of Us recently, so I decided this week I would reread

I would woo you in a quiet place (if i could speak the words) by @honestlyhappymoon . While it has nothing to do with fungus, it does have to do with a very changed world that somehow still provides a way for our fave duo to find love.

Here’s the synopsis provided by the author: For Jughead, the end of the world feels nearly like everything else in his life. Disappointing. For someone who has invested so much in words, the apocalypse is devoid of all the glorious doom promised by the poets. It is simply the loss of sound. He has always been a quiet soul and the words that die on everyone else’s lips still find their way on paper in his hands. The quieter it has gotten, the more verbose his characters. Or in a world that is getting progressively quieter, Jughead Jones has not once yearned the loss of spoken words. Until she turns up at his door

Thanks to all of you who have been reading along with me and leaving comments. I hope we can brighten some days with our thanks and appreciation!

This week I’ve decided to reread Just Between You and Me by @i-know-you-can

Synopsis from the author: Betty and Jughead get roped into Veronica’s plans to fit a whole summer worth of fun into two weeks. Little does anyone know they have plenty of fun experiences of their own.

This week I decided to reread El Niño by @happilyshanghaied

Here’s a little synopsis provided by the author:

“When Betty's sister Polly runs off to join a cult and leaves her three-year-old son in Betty’s custody, she scrambles to find a nanny to watch him while she's at work. Betty’s best friend, Veronica, assures her she'll find the perfect nanny to watch her nephew. She’s not wrong”.
