in case you missed it...

hello from your barchie-fanfiction admins! thanks for following us - over the next few days we’ll be posting some author masterlists of some heavy hitters in the fandom (think 5+ fics!), but until then... we thought everyone needed some more season five in their lives.

so, in case you missed them... a collection of completed fics (as of march 5th) that take place somewhere in season five canon (or not canon)!

pre time jump

(stop fighting) and know our love is real Author: Littlebarchie07 Rating: General Length: 2,019 Summary: 3 times Archie starts coming to terms with potentially losing Betty and the 1 time he realises they will always be connected. Notes: Part 2/2 of The Truth series.

(stop pretending) and let our love begin Author: Littlebarchie07 Rating: General Length: 1,244 Summary: 3 times Betty lies, and the 1 time she finally admits the truth. Notes: Part 1/2 of The Truth series.

but we were something, don’t you think so? Author: societysgot Rating: General Length: 1,718 Summary: "Why didn't you tell me?" She tries to look him in the eye but finds that she can't, "That you were leaving." "Well I—" "Why Arch?" Notes: An alternate take on the bus scene, and before.

closing walls and ticking clocks Author: inthehallway Rating: Teen Length: 3,365 Summary: Maybe you need to consider why you’re really so terrified of him finding out. Is it only because you know you’ll lose him? Or is it also because you’re scared of the feelings you’ll be forced to face once he’s gone? After prom, Betty can't hide from the truth anymore. Notes: An alternate take on prom. AKA, everyone finds out.

Dancing is a dangerous game Author: Littlebarchie07 Rating: General Length: 1,081 Summary: Based on the lyrics from “you’re a cowboy like me”. Betty-Barchie centric of an AU prom scene. Notes: AKA Archie and Betty actually dance like they should have.

for what it’s worth it was worth all the while Author: bettycooopers Rating: General Length: 1,030 Summary: Betty slips into the back door of the Andrews house the way she has a thousand times before, but this morning it feels different...despite the fact that it still, somehow, feels like the most natural thing in the world. Notes: Takes place the last day of school. Aaaaand we’re sad again.

i’ve been looking sad in all the nicest places Author: societysgot Rating: Teen Length: 1,399 Summary: "It's not that simple," She went to place a hand on his arm, but he felt himself pulling away before she made contact. His voice was hoarse when he spoke. "Well, it shouldn't be this hard." Notes: They talk!! They discuss things!! Betty actually knows that Veronica knows!! A gift.

If This Was A Movie Author: booksnshows Rating: General Length: 3,228 Summary: Betty Cooper has been dreaming of prom since she was a little girl. The truth is...she always pictured going with Archie Andrews. Notes: An alternate take on prom. Written early post S4.

so give me tonight Author: bettycooopers Rating: General Length: 2,392 Summary: They (whoever they are, exactly,) say that prom night is supposed to be one of the best nights of your life. Archie Andrews would like to go on record saying that is absolute bullshit. Notes: Did someone say prom porch parallel?

there’s no warning when everything changes Author: bettycooopers Rating: General Length: 1,525 Summary: The song sounds different coming from Veronica, so it doesn’t occur to Betty until she hears it: he’s not made for this world, and neither am I. Notes: A look is worth a thousand words. Sometimes, 1500 of them.

valentine Author: spideychoni Rating: Not Rated Length: 2,333 Summary: when things fall apart in archie and betty’s relationships, will they find each other again? a graduation after party changes everything for the blonde haired girl and the redheaded boy. Noted: A graduation after party?? Eyes emoji.

You Were The Someone Waiting For Me Author: darlingfilms Rating: Teen Length: 1,123 Summary: Picture this, it’s the senior prom in Riverdale and Betty and Archie go with their partners, but it’s clear who they’d rather be with. Notes: The author mentions there’s another chapter, but it’s marked as completed, so! Enjoy!

time jump

'tis the damn season Author: bettycooopers Rating: Mature Length: 13,878 Summary: you could call me babe for the weekend 'tis the damn season A Taylor Swift inspired "we're dating, but only during the holidays" AU told in five parts. Notes: Liberties taken - namely, they do talk within those years, and Archie doesn’t get deployed - but otherwise follows canon. Also, it’s epic.

all i want for christmas Author: bettycooopers Rating: General Length: 3,527 Summary: Archie’s heard of an orphan Christmas before, but he didn’t actually think he’d have one...at least, not yet. Notes: Written pre-S5, so FP doesn’t leave!

come home to my heart Author: inthehallway Rating: Mature Length: 9,248 Summary: He’s only been here for a few hours, and she already feels like a piece of her that’s been missing for too long is shifting back into place. But he's going to leave in a few days, and they'll have to say goodbye to each other all over again. She wonders if this will even be worth the pain it's going to cause them both in the end. Two years after graduation, Archie visits Betty at Yale. Notes: Sequel to didn’t know you were golden ‘til i tore your heart open. Written after S4, so Archie goes to the navy, not the army!

post time jump

all the bad dreams that you hide Author: bettycooopers Rating: General Length: 2,708 Summary: Betty has control of the nightmares. At least, that's what she tells herself. Notes: Based off of that Roommates Theory we all fell prey to. What happened in Albany, Cher?! Tell us!!!

Honey Author: JemmaLynn13 Rating: Mature Length: 6,755 Summary: A post shower fic where Betty finds herself wearing Archie's bathrobe with no other clothes to change into. Notes: Seriously, how did this girl get home? Alice is gonna find out by 5x07, at this rate.

Hush, I’m Here Author: NewObsessed Rating: Teen Length: 1,350 Summary: He stares up at the ceiling. Everytime he closes his eyes, all he sees is the battlefield and his fellow soldiers laying motionless across the grounds. Still he tries to let sleep come. After what feels like mere seconds, his eyes pop open again. Only this time, it isn’t because of his nightmare. It's because of someone else’s. Her scream slices through the silence of the house. Notes: We may have lost roommates in canon, but not in fic!!! The potential, friends.

i am your secret, baby, watch me unfold Author: bettycooopers Rating: Explicit Length: 3,151 Summary: Betty turns on her stereo and pours herself a drink, smiling – the idea of parading around her empty house in lingerie with her makeup done and a highball glass of gin while she waits for Archie is appealing, to say the least. Notes: You know what we didn’t lose, though? Friends with benefits. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

“If I kissed you right now, what would you do?” Author: bettycooopers Rating: Not Rated Length: 765 Summary: It’s past midnight when Betty texts him and tells him to meet her outside the auto shop. He shrugs on a sweatshirt and texts her back (for any particular reason, betts?) as he’s making his way out of the house, not bothering to wait for her to answer. He knows he’s going to end up there, anyway. Notes: A fun mini ‘verse where Betty pretends for all of five seconds that 5x05 was a one time thing. Whatever you say, Cooper!

jump into the heat Author: MaiaSpeedster Rating: Teen Length: 444 Summary: As they kissed and undressed each other, Betty couldn’t help but to think how dumb she had been to waste all of these years. She already knew how good Archie was at kissing, but the way he ran his hands over her figure and pressed his body to hers… God, she had never felt anything like it. Notes: Betty’s thoughts during 5x05. Y’know. About that scene. We think you know the one.

just for now Author: staryu Rating: General Length: 713 Summary: where Betty leaves but Archie is sad and really wants her to stay. Notes: Everyone, including Archie, wanted him to ask Betty to stay during 5x06, right? It’s okay, Arch, fic’s got you covered.

let’s go somewhere they might discover us Author: bettycooopers Rating: Explicit Length: 3,670 Summary: Archie’s synapses are clearly slower than usual, but he manages to look over at her subtly enough and raise his brow in a want to get out of here sort of way and Betty smiles, looking over to Kevin. “I think I’m going to let,” she pats Archie on the shoulder and raises her brows, “Sergeant Andrews here walk me home.” Notes: Based off of 5x06 stills. Drunk Archie! Exhibionist Barchie! A Betty who is terrible at friends with benefits! Yeah!

light my fire Author: bettycooopers Rating: Explicit Length: 2,797 Summary: Betty wakes up frustrated. She goes to bed frustrated. Riverdale is frustrating, in general – but the fact that she’s living in her childhood bedroom with Archie Andrews only a few hundred yards away, looking frustrating all the time is making it worse. Much worse. Notes: Based off of that still Roberto posted of Archie in firefighter gear. Yeah, you know the one.

lock the door (and throw out the key) Author: bettycooopers Rating: Explicit Length: 8,269 Summary: Cheryl’s always been one for chaos, and this key party seems like the kind of thing that will cause it no matter who winds up together. Notes: What’s going to be more chaotic, the actual key party (if it happens), or the events of this fic? Place your bets!

Love’s under a lock and key Author: creative_soul Rating: Mature Length: 3,306 Summary: Seven years have past since Betty left Riverdale behind. Seven years have passed since she last saw Jughead, Veronica and Archie... but now here she is seven years later on the steps of Thistle House. Notes: So... you’ve heard about the key party theory by now, right?

Our place, we make the rules Author: Littlebarchie07 Rating: Teen Length: 1,816 Summary: Betty goes over to Archie’s house for a *not* midnight hookup the night of the shower scene but is surprised when Jughead answers the door. Post 5x05. Notes: Betty is the least subtle she’s ever been, and also made us laugh out loud with one line in particular.

tell me you love me on the bathroom floor Author: soldierwitch Rating: Mature Length: 804 Summary: It’s been seven years since Betty’s had Archie. Though in hindsight she realizes that what she had back then was just a taste. A chaste kiss on the lips, a slip of the tongue. Underneath the stream of water coming from his shower head, she wonders what she really knew of him physically. Notes: Set during the shower scene.

That Shower Scene Author: ThisCalmsMe Rating: Explicit Length: 3,420 Summary: Barchie shower scene, that's it. That's the summary. NOT for underage viewing. Notes: The author said it themselves, but you know what scene this is. Can you believe we get to tag this as canon? Us neither!

The Small Hours Author: network_connectivity_issues Rating: Teen Length: 2,632 Summary: Just a little angsty bonding between Betty and Archie based on some of the snippets and speculation coming out of the Time Jump trailer. Notes: This fic is god tier. End of.

Through Fire and Rain Author: Littlebarchie07 Rating: Teen Length: 1,218 Summary: The aftermath of the fire at Archie’s house, Betty asks him to stay with her. Takes place after 5x06 Notes: The 5x07 subplot we deserve!

Who’s That at the Door? Author: CanaryWidow Rating: Teen Length: 1,853 Summary: A 5x07 speculation fic where Betty and Archie are tiptoeing around their true feelings for each other in a FWB relationship. Reality, in the form of Glen, comes knocking at their door--literally. Notes: Give us jealous Archie, we’re here for jealous Archie!

“You didn’t have to do this, you know.” Author: staryu Rating: Not Rated Length: 473 Summary: here have jealous betty at a bar! Notes: Give us jealous Betty, we want jealous Betty!

“You didn’t have to scare me like that.” Author: bettycooopers Rating: Not Rated Length: 485 Summary: Betty wakes from the nightmare (the nightmare, the one she always has) gasping for air and presses her hand to her face. She sucks in a long breath, the way Dr. Starling had instructed – why she had even mentioned the nightmares to her mandatory therapist, she’s not sure, but the only thing that’s even come close to useful from their sessions has been the deep breathing. Notes: Okay, but we all had at least considered that Betty could’ve been pointing that gun at Archie, right?

you ought to keep me concealed just like i was a weapon Author: bettycooopers Rating: Explicit Length: 4,037 Summary: “We’re getting that fucking house back,” Betty says, her voice low. “There’s no other option.” Notes: We’re still yelling about this one.

Shamrock to a Thistle Chapter 7 A Date

I felt much better after telling Cully and Jamie about why we left Ireland so quickly. It is knowing they have my back and knowing that it offers some protection for them. Over the next few weeks, Cully and I become very good mates. We have went out for drinks a few times a week. Jamie joins us. I have yet to go out with him alone. What I feel for him scares me so, I am doing my best to ignore it.

I am leaning against the desk, charting and yawning, one day.

“”Seems I am just in time.” Jamie’s voice says behind me before his hand sits a cup of Highland Coo coffee in front of me.

“Right on time.” I say, picking it up and taking a fortifying sip.

“Where is Cully?”

“Back here. Follow me.” I start to walk and his voice stops me.

“Dr. O’Leary may I ask ye something?”

“Of course.”

“Will ye go out with me? Just me?”

I shouldn’t. But, I am tired of fighting the pull between us. I nod. “I will. But, I only have scrubs here.”

“That is fine.” His grin is contagious I grin back.

“I will meet you at the Highland Coo after my shift.” I turn and start to walk towards Cully. “Are you going to take Cully her coffee?” I call back over my shoulder. I hear his footsteps hurry to catch up and I laugh.

“What is sae funny?” Cully asks. Then she sees Jamie. “Ah. Sae ye finally asks did ye brother?”

“I did and she said aye.”

“Even in just my scrubs.” I add. She gives him a sharp look. He ignores it as he hands her the coffee.

“I must be off. See ye tonight Claire.” He slips away and I watch him until he is out of sight.

“What?” I ask Cully.

“Nothing.” She grins and we get back to work. It is a long day made longer by nervous anticipation. I find myself glazing at the clock a lot.

“it willna speed up just because ye watch it.” Cully teases.

Finally it is time to leave. I hurry to the changing room pull my hair down.. I fluff out my curls, add a dash of color to my cheeks, and hurry out. I send a text to Catalina.

“Off for drinks with a certain red head.”

Her reply is smiley face emojis and let me know. I am smiling as I head towards the Highland Coo. I knock on the door and Jamie opens it.

I stand in the doorway, in shock. Soft candles have replaced the fluorescent lights. Romantic music fills the air. The table in the center is set with two glasses and two bottles of whiskey, one Scottish and one Irish. The other tables are pushed away to make a small dance floor.

“This is why you didn't mind the scrubs?”

“Aye. Will you dance with me Claire?” I walk in the rest of the way. He locks the door behind me and takes my hands in his. We are soon moving to the beat of the music. I relax enough to melt into him. My contented sighs melt into his.

“Why not a pub?” I ask when he leads me to the center table.

“I wanted to get to know ye. Seems easier here then in a crowded pub.”

“Makes sense. Where did you get the Irish whiskey?” I ask as he pours me a glass. He blushes.

“Weel, Ireland. I had hope, ye see that Iu would see ye again. When I did I wanted to share it with ye.”

I am speechless. He had planned for this after one meeting. I take a drink, letting the familiar honeyed taste sooth.

“What do you wish to know about me?”

“Whatever ye wish to tell me.” He leans back and watches me. God, he is beautiful, I think. The candle light brings out the different tones of red in his hair. His eyes, filled with joy and good humor are as blue as the endless Irish sky. I break eye contact to collect my thoughts. I am rolling the glass in my hand.

“My parents meet in uni. Even in the 90's it was unusual. They, to their credit, didn’t let what others thought, stop them. Love, well, it was enough. They married as soon as mum was through her midwife training. Did I tell you she was a midwife?” he shakes his head. “She is. Anyway., the prejudice of a few people didn’t stop them. My grandparents were cool. Just wanted to see their children happy. I was born two years later. My mum couldn’t have more. So, I became their world, outside each other.”

“Why they can with you?”

“Aye. They tend to be a bit protective. They tried to prepare me. But, I was still shocked the first time I was called a---. Well you can guess.”

“I can.” He covers my hand with his. “Sae sorry Claire.”

“it is okay. Loving parents and good friends make up for a few ignorant people.”

“Aye.” He draws patterns over my hand. “Aye. And then you went to medical school?”

“Yes. That was a whole other experience.” We start talking about that. I tell him of my struggles and victories. “What about you? What made you open a coffee shop?”

“Ah that was Cully. She had just finished nursing school and I had finished business school. I wasn’t sure what I wished to do. Cully complained about how horrid the coffee was at hospital. I realized their was no good coffee shop near there. Seemed a grand opportunity. Sae, the Highland Coo was born.

We have went through must of the bottles as we talked. He lifts me to my feet again and we stumble around the room as we try to drunk dance. I giggle against his chest. His very built chest. I rest my head against it.

“Jamie?” I feel his heart beat hard under mine.

“We canna. We are true drunk.” I sigh. He is right but not sure I will have to courage sober. “I need to get ye home.”

“You can't drive.”

“Nae. Call yer mam?”

“Right.” I do. She promises to soon be here. “I had fun. Thank you Jamie.”

“Sae, ye will go out with me again?”

“Aye. Not so much drinking though. I want to see if..”

“Aye.” We hear mum pull up. “Come.” He leads me out. My mum steps out.

“Claire Lexy O’Leary, how much have ye had to drink?”

“Must of a bottle of Whiskey.” I say as Jamie helps me down to her.

“Thank you Jamie. You need me to drop you off somewhere?”

“Nae, thank ye. I've a room over the shop.”

“Good. Lexy, don't get sick in the car. Your dad will kill you.” Jamie squeezes mu hand and slips out.

I text Catalina on the way home. “Had fun. Got to drunk to have more fun.”

“There is always next time.” I smile
