Summary
“Why do you think people get married?” Jughead asks suddenly.
It surprises Betty and she doesn’t have an answer to it. She’s been reading a lot of books lately, but unfortunately, she has yet to come upon the reason why people get married.
“I don’t know. Maybe you just have to one day... when you get older.”
“Huh. Well, I think I won’t get married even if I get older,” Jughead states, his tone flat.
“How come?” Betty asks, propping her head on one hand as she faces Jughead. He has his eyes closed.
“I think marriage makes people sad and angry. It makes two friends hate each other, and call each other names.”
OR
What happens when 10 year old Betty and Jughead talk about marriage?
And then, what happens when older Betty and Jughead talk about marriage? -

Summary
Jughead takes the brown bags and pads to the kitchen. He arranges the table for three, like it’s the most normal thing to do, when he remembers that Betty no longer lives in the trailer.
“Would you like to stay for dinner?” he asks in her direction. “I think my dad forgot that you no longer live with us. He got take-out for three.”
Betty’s profile lightens up, and looks like she’s about to agree, when FP calls out from across the room, practically shouting, “Would you like to stay forever?”

Summary
“I am on my way to the other side to bring fish bait to my dad. If you could wait a little, I can get back to you, and probably help you get home, or—”
“I can come with you!” Betty exclaims before Jughead can finish his sentence.

Summary
Jughead Jones is on the final year of his training as a thoracic surgeon when he began experiencing ferocious chest pains that seized him at arbitrary times of the day; sometimes, he coughed out blood accompanied by curious forms that distinctly resemble flower petals.
He discovered (with great incredulity) that he suffered from a disease called Hanahaki Disease - a rare type of disease that allegedly affects individuals that suffer from a profound unrequited love. He'd have easily dismissed it as an alternative fact when he realized that his symptoms started appearing when his best friend of a decade started dating a man of prominent stature, and he watched her slip away from him.
Fortunately for Jughead, the disease is completely curable. It'd go away when the object of the patient’s affections returns his feelings, or by surgical removal. As a surgeon, the choice shouldn’t have to be difficult for Jughead; but as he discovered, once the curious growth is resected from the diseased lungs, the feelings along with all memories of the beloved disappear. And if he leaves the disease on its natural course, he may end up dead.

Summary
“I wish we could just go. Just… hop on a motorcycle and leave Riverdale… go to a place where there’s no crazy moms, or drunken dads…”
“Like Romeo and Juliet but we live happily ever after instead.”
Or, AU. Where Betty and Jughead made it out of their childhood hometown and made it big in the outside world. Only there’s no motorcycle involved, and certainly not with one another.
Or, a world where Betty is a popular Hollywood singer who secretly hates her glamorous but insular celebrity life, so she sets out to find an ex-boyfriend in an attempt to feel genuine connection again. And Jughead is a professional photographer who is incapable of getting over an ex-girlfriend.

Summary
Most days, Betty Cooper rose before the sun, dressing herself for farm work and getting breakfast ready for her two farm hands, Farmer John and Kevin. ...
This farm life was a dream come true. She reminded herself often that this was what she always wanted, and it was the truth. Only thing was that she never thought she’d be alone doing it. She had always thought she’s have someone by her side.
...
He had not expected Betty Cooper to look the way she did. When he booked this Bed & Breakfast as his writing getaway, he had been told that it was a quiet, out of the way place, with an accommodating owner/hostess who cooked divine spreads, offered great conversation, and made her guests feel right at home.
He had been expecting a more matronly figure, gray haired perhaps, stately, maybe, the way those baby boomer, Hampton-living, ladies carried themselves. She had, after all, been described by his editor as a cross between Martha Stewart, Ina Garten, and Ree Drummond of Pioneer Woman fame. None of those ladies were leggy, in their twenties, smelled like sweet lilacs, and was gorgeous as hell. And none of them had that long blonde hair...

Summary
On a night when everything goes wrong, meeting him is at the top of her list. If she had it her way, she’d have as little to do with him as possible. (Un)luckily for her, she rarely gets her way.
Or—the magical, transformative power of a very ugly sweater.

Summary
"Despite the gritty, gravelly exterior he presents to the world, Jughead is the epitome of sweet toward her. He’s tender and considerate and just the right amount of reticent to be endearing. And though she loves that about him, Betty’s not in the mood for slow and sweet." [bughead, nsfw]
