Summary
EPILOGUE NOW ADDED
………“You slept with him again?!” Kevin stage-whispered to her from across their booth at Pop’s.
Betty groaned and leaned back against the shiny red seat. “I know. I know what you’re going to say.”
“Do you? Do you really? Because it doesn't seem to have absorbed into that genius brain I know you have hiding up there. You and Jughead broke up two years ago, B. This. Is. Not. Healthy.”
Betty was instantly defensive. “It was an accident.”
“It always is.” Kevin rolled his eyes.
“I didn’t mean to… he was looking for water in the kitchen last night and he had no shirt on and his hair was all messed up and it just kind of… happened.”
“Betty, please, no one accidentally falls onto their ex boyfriend’s penis.”
“Kev!”
-------
Betty and Jughead through their twenties. The Good. The Bad. And the Scandalous.
Endgames: Bughead, Choni, Varchie. But there are several more relationships in between that help them learn and grow and find their way back to each other.
Set in the alternate universe where canon season 5 doesn't exist.

Summary
Sequel to "Our Story's Not Over", but I think it can be read as a standalone if you're feeling brave.
........“I’m sorry, this is going to be a strange question, but… would you mind describing Jordan’s grandmother to me?”
There was a long pause on the other line, and Betty clutched the baby closer as she waited for Janine to respond. “Um, I’m sorry, it looks like she left… but if I recall she was a blonde woman, a bit older… maybe in her sixties?”
Betty knew instantly who the woman was. “Thank you for calling me.” She braced herself and took a deep breath. “That woman is not allowed to pick Jordan up. Ever..."
………
Jughead and Betty have three beautiful children who they dote on. They are thriving in their careers, and it seems that their entire extended family are enjoying a state of blissful uneventfulness - despite Hiram Lodge’s dirty dealings and attempts to shut down their online newspaper.
But Jordan’s birth mother’s release from prison looms ever closer, and her family are trying even harder to get closer to Jordan. How can Jughead and Betty keep their son safe when there are dangers hiding around every corner?

“Can I see you later tonight?” Sweet Pea asked, his eyebrows raised in anticipation of her answer.
Polly smirked. “That depends. Can you afford an hour of my time?”
“Ouch.” He said, feigning offence. “And here I thought your rates started with a Burger from Pop’s…”
Polly bit her lip for a second, and she noted that the movement caught his eyes. “Maybe tonight I can make an exception…”

Polly Cooper faces a lonely weekend in a jail cell after she gets caught working for sex on the South Side. By pure coincidence, Sweet Pea is jailed beside her, and their ensuing conversation sparks the beginning of an unlikely friendship.
And then Sweet Pea and Polly begin the most unusual relationship to grace Riverdale in years…
……………..
Tie-in piece to “Our Story’s Not Over” - the background love story that deserves to be told.

He couldn't swim, but she was a River by crazymisscarly (MidnightBitesCarly), MidnightBitesCarly

Summary
Jordan Jones does not like swimming. Water can stay the hell away from him, honestly. He'd rather read his father's cringy teen romance novels than even consider staring into the ominous grey waves at Sweetwater River - don't even think about asking him to put his feet in the frigid depths.
But there is one River that might just be worth being submerged in...
The son of Jughead and Betty has been best friends with the daughter of Toni and Cheryl for years. They grew up together, got each other through their darkest times, and were present during each other's greatest moments.
But a party at Sweetwater River goes horribly wrong, and Jordan's only hope is that River can save him...
...perhaps he'll discover, there are some Rivers worth drowning in.
(Cheesy as hell synopsis but I'm well past giving a fuck. Bughead and Choni are both present in this fic, but the main focus is their offspring's blossoming love story)

In Memoriam: Jughead's Typewriter by crazymisscarly (MidnightBitesCarly)
Fandoms: Riverdale (TV 2017)
24 Nov 2021
Tags
Summary
Jughead remembers the solemn pain of losing his beloved Typewriter.
Luckily, Betty might have a surprise up her sleeve...
.......
This fic is a direct result of episode two of RiverVale. Those who have watched it know exactly what I'm talking about. Fair warning, the Typewriter's demise does not happen the same way in this fanfic, for I am setting it during my Season 5 AU series. You can probably read this as a standalone fic, though.
