#riverdale recs

This was our last year together. I could feel it on the first day. And while the sadness and bitterness was there, I wanted to make the best of it while I could.

I'm doing a series of "Best Character Named X" polls where all the characters have the same first name but are from completely different media, feel free to send in name/charcacter suggestions, I'm posting one poll a day, check my pinned post for active polls

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love ❤️

Ooooh! Thanks for spreading the self-love with this ask my friend! I'm so bad at picking my favorite fics I've written but I'll try to pick my favorite ideas that I've written more so than the fic itself. and I guess these will be in no particular order because that's way harder!

Reignited - Shadowzel (Baldur's Gate 3)

this one is up there because it was so fun to write a single mom fic and i just love how the romance turned out!!

Nondisclosure - Shadowzel (Baldur's Gate 3)

okay this one isn't done being posted yet but it's gotta be one of my favorites because it's my first time writing fake dating!!

in the heat of your electric touch - Hosie (Legacies)

I'm super proud of this one because I started it and came back to it like a year later which is super uncommon for me. And it was fun because I wrote Josie super confident and there was a tiny love triangle and it was just so fun!

The Incomplete Song - Hosie (Legacies)

I liked this one because it was a bit shorter for one of my multichapter fics but I played a lot with flashbacks in it and the music theme was just so fun to work with.

Happily - Choni (Riverdale)

I dunno, this one just has such a special in my heart, it was hard to choose between this one and It Ain't Always Perfect but I went with this one because I think it turned out better written. But the enemies to lovers roommates was so fun. I loved this version of Toni and Cheryl that I created and again I'm just proud of it I guess!

Instead of the 1950s, Riverdale gets transported into the 2950s. What kind of sci fi story do we get?

this is hard for me to answer bc i am not really reading or watching much sci fi and whenever riverdale tackles a genre it is with a depth of love and knowledge that i am not possessing…

idk i would want it to be grounded in a murder mystery and then have stuff like an ai robot transformation plot like the beast or stepford wives happening to betty (as an extension of her thing w being perfect/the s3 attempted lobotomy) and similar little arcs for other characters that are just not coming to me rn

[sweetsoundsofignorance]

Humbly looking for Riverdale fic recommendations for my friend’s sister, particularly fics that aren’t rated above T. Her favorite character is Betty, and she has a penchant for horror and thrillers. I’ve already rec’ed a few but any additional recommendations would be much appreciated!

[spaceoperetta]

It’s almost 2am and just finished reading a truly great finale response fic that’s now firmly on my favorite Riverdale fics list.

What do you think about fan works and tipping?

@Fan fic writers, artists, podcasters, etc.: Do y'all ever ask for tips or donations for work? I know on some platforms (Ex: non-profits like AO3/Archive of Our Own) you can't ask for money. But have you ever requested or received money (no matter how much or little) for your work? To the readers, listeners, etc.: Are you okay with this, and would you tip/donate?

I do get that part of the fun of fan works is that they are free, easily accessible, and you can make or request anything. It's a great community! But, it can also take a lot of time and effort to research for stories, make graphics and art, find stats on things (like those IG "fun fact stan accounts") , etc.

I personally write for a variety of fandoms (various Netflix and Hulu originals like Love, Victor or Stranger Things, MCU/DCU, Abbott Elementary, Riverdale, etc.) and sometimes it takes a lot to produce something. Yes it's a hobby and doesn't have to be monetized. But based on the size (like detail in a drawing, chapters in a work) sometimes, there's also a desire to get paid for the time and effort you put into something (gifts excluded). Especially if it gains a lot of traction with views, hits, etc.

If you had a friend who did hair and makeup for fun, but they did yours for an event, would you consider paying them? Would you understand if they asked for money? Can the same apply to fan art and fic? LMK what you all think!

One of my all-time favorite fics 😍

-it would start with catching both of their eyes

-the entire fam would be like “oh no, another thing for these two to fight about.”

-they’d try to find ways to get you to say which one of them you prefer

-finally confiding in Tony that you’re honestly just into both of them 

-she sits them down and is like “you both have to stop acting like idiots. so I did some recon, and she’s honestly just into both of you the same way.” “well now what?” “there’s this amazing thing called polyamory guys, look it up.”

-they look into it

-and they realize they could both be dating you and it doesn’t make them gay or in anyway have to even actually like each other

-you’re shocked when the both of them ask you to meet at Pop’s together

-you sit down across from them and they explain that they looked into polyamory and are willing to give both of them dating you a try if you’re up for it

-creating a group chat

-they both kinda have alpha personalities

-and this would clash at the start but they’d come up with ways to deal with it

-starting out with movie dates, Sweetpea immediately asserts his dominance by putting his arm over your shoulders while Reggie glares at him but settles with his hand going to your upper thigh, then Sweetpea glares at him because thats a good idea

-they both want to walk you to school

-Sweetpea is taller so he calls dibs on arm over your shoulders while Reggie holds your hand, or puts his hand in your back pocket, (wonder where he learned that from)

-people give you odd looks from the first day this happen

-”so what’s going on with Sweetpea and Reggie?” Veronica asks, Betty leaning closer because she wants to know too. when you explain it they’re both like “this is not going to last. Y/N, you know that, they hate each other.”

-your first date at your place and its kinda awkward at the start because having two massive guys walking around your kitchen is just kinda odd

-sitting on the couch to watch a movie

-these guys are huge so good luck trying to get comfortable on that couch

-moving to your bed because the couch has no space

-all of you lying on your backs until Sweetpea is like screw this, and pulls you over so you’re cradled against his chest, Reggie spoons you

-”so why do you guys hate each other so much?”

-you fall asleep first and they both are just kinda there. so they start whispering and talking. they realize they have more in common than they thought, plus if they want this whole thing to work they have to start being nicer to each other

-they agree to start working out together

-waking up cuddled between these gorgeous men

-at school you usually have class with at least one of them, and in classes with both each sit on either side of you

-they are fiercely protective of you

-like no one can fuck with you

-you always have one on either side of you

-you get cold and Sweetpea offers his leather while Reggie offers his letterman jacket

-and these guys are big so their jackets are big

-the other serpents kinda dont know what to do at first. like, they’ll accept you, but does this mean they suddenly have to warm up to Reggie?

-getting along really well with the Serpents because you make Sweetpea super happy and he’s such a sweet little muffin

-they’re both super cocky

-which is great

-”give me a kiss sugar.”

-the best fucking pet names. 

-they both like to call you Princess

-Reggie is more of a “doll face” kinda guy

-Sweetpea likes “pretty girl.”

-can you imagine partying with these guys?

-that would be so hot, like, one on either side and they can never keep their hands to themselves so they’re all over you

-stealing their clothes

-tracing Sweetpea’s tattoo makes Reggie want to get a tattoo of some kind

-i mean, they try to keep it to a minimum, but sometimes they end up looking at each other when they’re with you and it spurs them on, like a good kind of competition on who can make you feel the best

-they’re also super horny

-they like marks. im sorry if you dont. this is just a thing with them

-and they’re rough

-plus, Sweetpea has those rings so get fucking ready doll

-the first time it happens is kinda odd but they make up for it the next morning, its all about rhythm and these boys realize they have a knack for it 

-honestly its all just hanging out

-you and Sweetpea go to Reggie’s sports games and cheer him on from the sidelines

-group hugs when Reggie wins

-running onto the field and Reggie spins you around, Sweetpea stands there and when Reggie sets you down they bro hug

-they both just kinda like lifting you up all the time

-Sweetpea is king of throwing you over his shoulder

-Reggie’s more of a piggy back guy

-sometimes they try to coordinate things

-like cooking for you, but this never ends well. they’re huge fans of take out

-they actually are okay when you fall asleep first and they just talk about stuff

-sometimes pretending to be asleep to hear what they’re talking about

-usually its kinda dumb stuff but mostly its about you

-taking them both shopping. Sweetpea hates it with a burning passion but Reggie is a fashion icon so he helps you choose stuff

-well, Sweetpea helps in Victoria’s secret

-they agree on silk and lace

-they also agree on loving to tear your clothes off

-when you’re having a rough day, you have two adorable big puppy boys to cuddle you and make you feel better

-they also like attention

-studying together is you studying and both of them just playing with your hair and groaning about not wanting to study

-they always want to crash girls night but you always evade them

-the fact that this dynamic actually works out shocks everyone, Betty and Veronica especially want to know what it’s like having both Sweetpea and Reggie

-its actually just so loving once everything is settled though

-massive group hugs and cuddles

-once they’re comfortable with each other of course

-dragging them both around at carnivals

-its actually so funny because Sweetpea is usually pretty stone cold and Reggie can be kind of distant and then between these two huge asshole looking dudes is just you, and you’re a little bundle of sunshine in compairison

-ultimate lazy cuddle days with these babies who just need cuddles and head massages

-i’ve already said it but they are just so protective of you

-and Sweetpea has the whole gang behind him

-Reggie has the football team

-so you are protected AF

-sometimes they’ll fight over who gets to do things. arm wrestle for who gets to drive you to school one morning. a shoot out on the basketball court to see who gets to dance with you first at prom

-yeah everyone would know you’re taken

-like no one flirts with you because everyone just knows

-you know what. i am here for this okay?

fic rec: Beautiful Broken Things by teaandpinkfrosting

you guys, i am obsessed. this is an incredibly well-written s1 rewrite, with a twist on the mystery that i've never seen before, and impeccable Bughead investigative duo slowly falling for each other vibes. oh, and there's actual FRIENDSHIP. the fact that we're getting this story while the absolute disaster that is s7 is airing kind of blows my mind? but it's truly a balm to my soul lol

i just really want everyone to read this. it's so wonderful. get thee to ao3!
