Master List

It was supposed to be settled.

Twenty

“So how much should I order for the party next week?” I analyze the list of food, booze, and supplies I had to order for EZ’s patch party. Or I suppose depending on the vote it would be a normal Friday night party at the clubhouse. Bishop didn’t or couldn’t tell me which way the club was leaning. I saw how proud he looked when EZ did things for the club. The way he would handle club business.

And EZ had become his prospect. I heard some of the stories about Angel being his sponsor in the beginning and how blood and the patch were getting confused. I had a feeling there was more to the story. But that’s all I could get out of any of them.

“I think it’ll just be the club,” Bishop pulls my hair from my neck to press his lips there. “But could be more. Maybe getting another delivery from SAMCRO. Ramos and Canche texted me and are coming down too. Don’t know if they’ll still be here for that.” His fingers work the muscles in my back, “You don’t have to do all this, querida. That’s what we have prospects for.”

“I won’t let EZ plan his own party,” I let my eyes close and I just feel his hands and lips on me. “It wouldn’t be fair.”

“You don’t know if it’s gonna be EZ’s party, Hermosa,” his hand dips down the front of my shirt. I let out a soft moan as his fingertips danced over my nipple. Bringing it to a hardened peak. My head falls back against his chest and I let him distract me from my task. A welcome distraction.

Or it would have been until the shrill of both of our phones pulled us from our activities. I would have ignored it but no one called me, not unless it was important. And the number that popped up on the screen was from Charming.

I couldn’t hear the words from the other end of Bishop’s line but I heard the familiar Scottish accent. And on mine, I got Montez, the Road Captian, from SAMCRO. I met him briefly in Charming a few months ago. “Chibs wants a sit-down,” he says.

“I know, he’s on the phone with Bishop now,” I respond, “What’s this about?”

“Just about our mutual business dealings,” he stated. Guns. The email I got from Declan a few days ago said as much without saying anything at all.

“I get it, but this is more club business, isn’t it?” I quirk a brow as I stand from my seat. Bishop had paced off to have a more discrete conversion with the SAMCRO president.

“You should be there,” he says, “Chibs wants you there.”

“OK,” I responded, “I’ll be there. I’ll leave it to the club to make the arrangements.” Without another word, I end the call. I hear Bishop’s boots on the hardwood floor behind me.

“Church?” I ask and he nods,” Well there goes our quiet morning.” I stand up from the kitchen table, my hands cup his face, and press my lips to his. “Just let me know where we’re heading and for how long once you know. I need to get a shower and get ready. Then I can meet you at the clubhouse.”

“I still don’t like you involved in the shit we do,” he tells me. It wasn’t something I pressed. I stayed back dealing mainly with the back-end stuff, letting Chibs and Declan handle the stuff on the ground.

“I know,” I wrap my arms around his neck and just hold him for a brief moment before letting him leave to do club business.

---

I toss an overnight bag in the back of my SUV. Just a couple changes of clothes for me and Bishop just in case. Text from Taza said we were meeting at a lodge at 8. Leaving from the clubhouse at 2. Club messages were always cryptic. No details, just exactly what I needed to know. And only what I needed to know.

I pulled into the parking lot of the scrapyard. “Jefe wants you to ride in the van with me,” Creeper says as he takes my bag.

“Why?” I ask sharper than intended, “No offense.”

“I don’t ask questions,” he replies, “but he’s inside.”

“You’re putting me in the van?” my eyes narrowed as I walked inside, word oozing with irritation. Bishop was sitting at the table with Taza and Hank.

“Drop the tone and sit the fuck down,” Bishop’s eyes dark as he looks back at me. I let out a breath as I took a seat. Something about his commanding voice did something to me. I didn’t want to feel a pooling between my thighs when he talked to me that way but it happened. I wanted to be pissed at him for talking to me that way, but my body betrayed me.

“Alright,” I tuck a curl behind my ear, “Why am I riding in the van and not with you?”

“Me and my guys have to be on a united front,” he replied, “ with the Kings and the Reaper. No weakness.”

“So I make you weak?” my voice is shakier than I would like.

“You make me unfocused,” he stated, “we get there I’ve got to go up against the Cro and keep my shit together with the Kings. Can’t afford distractions.”

"I'm not planning a striptease or anything, I'm just going to be there," I straighten up in my seat, finding my voice again, "to protect my family's interest," My eyes lock with Bishop's, "Both of my families interests."

"You being there is enough," Bishop replied his voice slightly softer. "Ride up there in the van, querida."

"Ok," I conceded, "I suppose there won't be time for me to clean up before the meeting."

I watch out the windshield, the bikers' formation. It's different than I'd experienced before. The poetry was still there but I was no longer a part of it. Just a spectator. El Presidente flanked by his VP and his Sergeant at Arms, Gilly, Coco, and Angel road behind them EZ still took the rear.

"We'll be there soon, chica," Creeper's voice interrupts my thoughts. "Not as far as the last time we road together."

"Sorry, I haven't been the better riding companion," I tell him.

"Don't worry about it, I get it. My ol' lady never listens to me either," he chuckled.

"I didn't know you had a girl," I quirk a brow.

"She works nights so doesn't come to the clubhouse often," Creep responds. "She is her own woman, like you. She ain't like the club hang arounds."

"She sounds like a keeper," I smile at him, "I guess I do need to pick my battles. Club stuff can get complicated. Especially when emotions and business is involved.”

"Bish just wants to keep you safe. We all do," Creeper pulls the van to a stop.

"I know," I watch as my boys file their bikes into a parked row outside of the lodge. "I appreciate it. Even when I don't."

I adjust my boobs and slide my feet into a pair of heels. One benefit of riding in the van, the ability to wear my favorite strappy heels. I swing the door open and step out. The lodge is woody and manly. Very appropriate for the situation.

I smile at the feel of a familiar hand resting on the small of my back, "Let's get inside, Hermosa." I nod in return. Inside the scent of leather, smoke, and whiskey filled my nose. I stand nodding as Bishop and Taza go over the plans with the tribe leaders.

"If it isn't Bishop's Princesa irlandesa," Oso Ramos kisses my cheek before embracing Bishop in a bro hug.

"You remember Canche?" Bishop nods to the Yuma President.

"Nice to see you again," I offer a smile as I hug the man. Over the next half hour or so I hugged and kissed my way through another dozen or so burly bikers. I took my place at Bishop's side. I was given shows of respect being the ol' lady of a Mayan King. And the representative of the Irish Kings. This world embraced me in a way that the one I'd come from never had before.

"What'll you have to drink?" one of the guys asks.

"Whiskey and cranberry, please," I respond. The glass was handed to me an instant before the front doors of the lodge swing open and SAMCRO saunters through.

"Who do ya gotta fuck ta get a drink around here?" Chibs baritone unmistakable. The lips of the kings spread into a smile as they step up to welcome the Reaper crew. We have a drink then make our way into the conference room. The table stretched the length. SAMCRO seated on one side, Chibs shouldered by Happy, Montez, and the biggest biker I’d ever seen in my fucking life, Rane Quinn. The Mayan Kings sat on the other flanked by Taza and Hank.

My shoulders pushed back I keep my head held high as I take my seat at the head of the table. I couldn’t show that I was taking sides. Though clearly, I did have a bias. I listened as Chibs explains the delay in trading off the guns to the Mayans.

“The North Cali port authority has made the decision for us,” Chibs said, “they’re closing down the Mendocino port. The Irish have nowhere to bring their guns.”

“Shit,” Bishop says snuffing out his cigarette.

I look between the men and add, “There’s another shipment coming in two weeks but after that, until we find a new dealer. I talked to the Irish Kings,” I look from Bishop to Canche and Oso, then to Chibs, “I asked them to give us a little time to work out a new import strategy. SAMCRO has come up with something that could keep our business dealings going.”

“Sorry to drop this all on ya laps boys,” Chibs looks directly at Bishop. “But that’s the way it is.”

“You wanna bring ‘em South,” Bishop responds, “that’s why my crew is here.”

“Aye,” Chibs states, “way south. There’s an MC that runs the port down in Tijuana.”

“The Vatos Malditos,” Alvarez adds. The name didn’t ring the same recognition that it did for Bishop and the rest of my Mayans.

Bishop leans forward in his chair, “Shit, we just had a little run-in with the VM. I didn’t end well.”

“Well, fuck,” Chibs responded. I searched my recent memory for what the hell had happened and met Coco’s gaze.

“That thing with Letty?” I asked. He nodded his agreement.

“Their Prez is a friend of mine,” Montez adds, “He didn’t mention any beef.”

“You already talked to them?” Bishop asked.

“Aye, we had to make sure we could make a deal,” Chibs responded, “They’re coming up here.”

“You’ve got to be shitting me?” Hank grunted.

“If Palo didn’t mention it,” Montez states, “It means he’s willing to sit down and meet. Nothing is going go down while we’re here.”

“Is there any way things can be worked out with the VM?” I cut my eyes to Bishop then back to Chibs and Montez.

Bishop eyes Hank then talks softly to Canche and Oso. Reluctantly he sighs, “They come to the table we’re willing to talk, we are willing to listen.”

“It’s a beautiful thing,” Chibs responds. “Now until they get here I need another fucking drink.” I hang back at the table feeling a touch out of place as the guys filed out of the room. I couldn’t or wouldn’t try to influence Bishop’s decision but I knew that if this deal didn’t pan out, I could be cut out of my family’s business. And the business was my last remaining connection to my father.

“Yo, Malibu,” Angel’s voice interrupted my inner dialog. “Come outside and have a smoke.”

I looked up at him confused, “What are you talking about? I don’t smoke.”

“You look like you could use one,” he responded, “Or a good fuck but Bish is occupied with the Kings and can’t accommodate you right now.”

“You are an ass,” I stand up from the table and walk with him outside. The pounding of fist against flesh fills my ears, EZ on the ground punching the face of another Mayan.

“What the fuck?” Angel says, “He can’t hit a patch.”

“He can if I tell him to,” Coco responds.

“That’s fucked up, he put fucking hands on us,” the larger of the other Mayans shouts.

“He’s obeying orders,” Coco states with a smirk. I stand back watching this display of masculinity with a smile of my own. It was a welcome distraction from everything else that was going on.

“Y’all wanna bother the Kings with this petty shit right now?” Angel asks. EZ breathes hard stepping back. He got whatever it was that was in his system out.

I place my hand on his chest, “You good?”

“Yeah,” he responds, “I needed that.” EZ shrugs off and moves over with his brother.

I step past him and take a look at the guy he was fighting, his face bloody. “What’s your name, sweetheart?”

“Dolla,” he answers, “We just fucking with the Prospect.”

I show him my hands as I step closer to him, “Doesn’t matter why. Let me check your face. Make sure nothing’s broken.” I hold his face in my hands, my thumb moves lightly down the bridge of his nose, then over his orbital bone, and along his cheekbones. “You’ll be fine. I’d suggest you go around back to the bathroom to wash up. Don’t want your Prez to find out you lost a fight to a Prospect.”

I give him a wink then follow Angel, EZ, Coco, and Riz back inside. “Is the smoke pad always that exciting?” I ask as I catch up with them.

“All the time,” Riz says with a smile, “why I haven’t quit yet.” I take a seat on the arm of the oversized leather couch beside Bishop, his hand moves to possessively rest on my thigh.

“You ok, querida?” he reaches up wiping blood from my face with his thumb.

“It’s not mine,” I take the napkin offered, “One of the Tempe guys had an accident outside. I just checked him out.”

“The Vatos are here,” Hank says as he enters the room. We all stand, Bishop directing me protectively behind him. The tension in the air was palpable. I could see Bishop’s jaw tighten when Chibs spoke softly to them. My own heart raced but I stood firm. Weakness wouldn’t be acceptable in this room full of Alpha males.

We file back into the conference room. This time Chibs took a seat with Montez at the head, the VM on one side then the Mayans on the other. The room filled so fully men were lining the walls. The VM leader glared at me as I made my way to the foot of the table. Dolla from Tempe sporting the beginnings of a black eye slides the chair out for me.

“I can work with Santo Padre to schedule with the Irish,” I started.

“VM unloads and stores,” Chibs continues, “then transports to the East Cali border. We think 30% is fair to cut them in for.”

“Agreed,” Bishop responds.

“I won’t take orders from a woman,” El Palo barks.

“One word from this woman,” I narrow my eyes in his direction, “and this whole bloody deal is done. The Irish Kings would be more than happy to find another dealer to handle their business. And you can go back to scamming lost sheep.”

“Calm down,” Chibs says, “the both o’ ya. Ms. O’Shay is here at the request of the Irish. And will be here as long as they wish it.” I lean back in my seat listening as they discuss numbers and cuts. None of this concerned me. Not until they started talking about the Mayans paying restitutions.

“You lost men because you came in our fucking backyard,” Bishop said firmly. “What the fuck did you think was gonna happen?” My heart began to race again.

“The Mayans killed nine of my fucking men,” El Palo said.

“You were wrong,” Taza shouted.

“Can we just say that you both were fucking wrong?” Chibs states and looks over to the Mayan side of the table, “You’ve got to put something on this table so we can get the fuck outta here.”

After whispering with Canche and Oso, Bishop offers, “We’ll match SAMCRO’s 5%.”

“Fuck that!” El Palo yells, “20%!”

“Fuck you!” Bishop shouts. The men on both sides of the table stand up squaring off. Happy pulls his piece from his kutte.

“Jesus Christ! Fuck!” Chibs shouts still sitting in his chair at the head of the table. “You fucking Mexicans you make us Scotts look sensible. Gentleman get your fucking dicks off the table this is a fair deal.” Bishop and the Kings nod and everyone takes their seats again.

“I’m glad we can all come to a peaceful understanding,” I state. “Slainte!” I down my glass and the rest of the Mayans and Vatos join in reluctant acceptance. I hang back as the men file out. The VM exits the front and SAMCRO out the back. The men say their goodbyes.

Bishop laces his fingers with mine as we head back inside. “It’s a good thing what you did in there, hermosa.” He presses his lips to my temple.

“It wasn’t so hard,” I gave his hand a squeeze with a smile. “I’m used to handling angry Mexicans.”

“Don’t worry, querida,” he smirks, placing my hand on his member through his jeans, “I got plenty for you to handle.”

“I know you do,” I give him a kiss and a gentle squeeze. We sit and have a few more drinks. Music plays over the speakers. The playfulness of the evening was cut short but the sound of an explosion outside.

“Stay there,” Bishop jumps to his feet following the crew outside. I hung back, staying just inside the door a bike was on fire. I jump at the sound of machine gunfire. It seemed to come from all directions.

“Taz, Nova get down,” Riz shouts. I saw El Palo’s eyes clearly, he was focused on his assault. Riz took the shot and fell back on top of me. I never knew the man could be so heavy. I kept down. I heard Bishop’s voice yelling, his gun firing. All of their gun’s firing.

I shifted out from under Riz when the gunfire stopped. “Riz,” I place my fingers on his neck finding a weak pulse. Labored breathing. My hands moved down his chest and applied pressure to the wound. “Call an ambulance!”

I couldn’t think anymore, I just held pressure on his wound.

“Nova,” Creeper’s voice, “you’re bleeding.”

“It’s not my blood,” I muttered. Not sure if the shock or the adrenaline wore off but I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder.

“Lay back, sweetheart,” Taza’s voice soothed me, “Get a fucking ambulance now!” I could feel the color leave my face as I fell back. My hands were covered with blood. A mixture of Riz’s and my own. The room spun and went dark as I heard the approaching sirens.

GIF Credit: I don’t know, but it’s not mine. Let me know if you know who made it.

Pairing: Javier Peña x Filipina!Reader

Warnings: This can be read alone or as part of Javier Peña’s Kilig series. Slight gun violence. Cursing.

Word count: 2.4k+

Summary: A close encounter makes you and Javier think about your relationship.

A/N: I loved writing the first part so much that I wrote a sequel. You don’t have to read the first one to get this, but I’d appreciate it if you did.

Part 1 + Masterlist

Kilig is a Tagalog word to describe the feeling of excitement and exhilaration and possibly embarrassment from anything remotely romantic.

_______________________________________________

An unusual sight met you when you walked to your desk this morning. Scraps of paper were taped to the objects sitting on your desk. All of them bearing familiar scribbled writing.

El escritorio.

La máquina de escribir.

Las plumas.

El periódico.

Los papeles.

El teléfono.

“Good morning!” Steve refreshed voice greeted. He and Javier strode their way to your conjoined desks, holding breakfast from the morning meeting you opted out of. Steve was holding an extra donut wrapper in a thin white paper. Javi was holding two steaming cups of coffee. “For you,” Steve offered the donut which you gladly accepted with a thank you.

Javi handed the second cup of coffee to you, “Tu café.”

“Gracias, Javi,” you lifted the cup in thanks. The three of you took a seat at your respective desks. You took a sip of the coffee Javi made. Two sugars and creamer, you thought. He remembered. You glanced up to meet his knowing eyes, and he gave you a sly grin before scanning the document in front of him.

“What’s with all this?” Steve asked, snatching the taped note on your telephone.

“Spanish lessons. Courtesy of Peña,” you answered through a mouthful of donut.

“How come you never offer to teach me Spanish, Javi?” Steve turned to his male partner accusingly.

“You’re not nearly as pretty as her, Murphy,” Javier answered, looking up from his paperwork. His words made you slightly choke on your donut. You took a sip of your coffee to wash down the clump that threaten to lodge itself into your throat.

“Oh I’m not enough for you?” Steve jokingly retorted, making you nearly spit out your coffee. You set down your coffee and opened your top drawer to look for the napkins you kept there. To your surprise, you found another note, this time folded, on top of your napkins. The note read, “Buenos días, querida.” You stuffed the note to the back of your drawer before pulling out a napkin and wiping your mouth of the sticky sugar leftover from the donut. Javier and Steve had stopped joking with each other, each occupied with their respective tasks. You locked eyes with Javi and raised an eyebrow, a small smirk on your face. Javi responded by winking at you, making you press your lips together, suppressing a grin from forming. The shrill ring from your phone broke your focus on Javi who returned his attention to his work.

“Meeting with the boss, boys,” you sighed as you hung up the phone. “Let’s go.” The simultaneous scrape of their chairs at your words started to burst the bubble of mirth from moments before, tugging you back to reality. Steve walked ahead of you and Javi, but Javi stayed behind, waiting for you to walk ahead of him. You thanked him with a nod of your head. His hand subtly rested on the small of your back as you passed him, burning an imprint on your skin and heightening your awareness of his presence. Did he buy a new shirt? You could’ve sworn he didn’t have this shirt before, but ever since you mentioned blue being one of your favorite colors, he seemed to add more blue in his rotation. Javi waited for you to enter the conference room first to which you replied, “Salamat.”

“De nada,’ Javi replied. This became a habit between the two of you as your relationship progressed. Javi would speak in Spanish, and you would respond in Tagalog. The two of you would then translate your sentences together, taking note of words you didn’t understand. You didn’t take notice of how often the two of you did this, until Steve once commented that he, out of all people, should definitely be the one learning Spanish. You had laughed at his comment that day, and Javi agreed to interpret for the two of you when out in the field. Still, this back-and-forth was special between the two of you. Something so endearing which stemmed from Javi seeking to comfort you from the pitfalls of an assignment abroad. Spanish and Tagalog lessons frequently happened over dinner.

Well, dinner was a loose term for it. In reality, it was one of you coming in to the other’s respective apartments across the hall. From there, the two of you would, eat, laugh, talk, drink…amongst other things. More often than not, the visitor would end up sleeping over, and they would have to sneak out of the apartment to return home, trying to avoid Steve or Connie. Like you said, this, whatever this is, was between the two of you. No one else. You’d never tell Javi this, but you did find a paper list in his apartment once. On it were Tagalog words you had taught him earlier, some spelled phonetically rather than correctly, although admittedly the spelling was close.

Halik - Beso

Maganda - Bonita, Hermosa

Sinta - Querida

Pag-ibig - Amor

And then the four words that made your eyes widen. The four words that were emboldened by his repeated tracing over the letters as if carefully carving it into his memory for fear of forgetting. The four words that made a strong heat grow in your chest, creep up your neck, and settle in your cheeks. The four words rushed blood to your ears, amplifying the elevated beating of your heart.

Mahal kita - Te amo

I love you.

He had asked how to say “I love you” after dinner some nights ago. The question was casual, and he had worked it into the conversation so skillfully that you hadn’t given it a second thought until you found his list. You mouthed the words carefully and repeatedly. Te amo. Te amo. Te amo. Te amo. Javi’s voice had called for you from the living room, and you quickly hid the list before going out to join him on the couch.

That was a week ago, and since finding that list, you had practiced the words over and over again in the mirror. Anticipation had settled into your bones. A weight had lifted itself off your shoulders, bringing a new spring to your step and a new outlook on life, even one as bleak and as challenging as the one you chose to lead. Plainly speaking, it didn’t take long for you to know. You loved him too.

The meeting droned on and on. The voices of the men around you soon warped into a garbled mess, undistinguished and tiresome. The tediousness of the meeting was made apparent by everyone springing out of the room, and your mind was still foggy until Javi’s voice broke your daze. “Dinner at my place?” Javi mumbled low enough for only you to hear.

“Sure, same time?” you whispered.

“Yep,” he answered. The two of you walked back to your desks where Steve was talking to someone on the phone, scribbling something on a scrap of paper. He hung up and turned to you and Javi, scrunches his brows at how close the two of you were walking. Both of you took notice of his watchful eye and promptly parted, with you picking at random objects at your desk.

“Uh,” Steve cleared his throat before announcing, “That was Carrillo. He wants to meet with us for a debrief.”

“Okay,” you and Javi said simultaneously. This made the two of you glance at each other before looking at Steve, whose gaze flickered between the two of you. He sighed and shook his head before saying,

“I’ll drive.” You swatted Javi’s arm on the way out to Steve’s car to which he chuckled, clutching his arm in feigned pain. Carrillo was all business, as usual. He went down his methodical list of questions about any information the DEA had on Escobar to which the three of you provided. Carrillo had brought out a map marked with the latest rumored drop-off sites in nearby neighborhoods, all circled in bold, red ink. He handed Steve a marker to mark confirmed sites. Javi, ever the gentleman, offered you a glass of water when he noticed you fanning yourself with a manila folder.

“Agua?” Javi offered.

“Salamat. This is tubig,” you explained.

“What’s too big?” he asked confusedly.

You laughed at his misunderstanding. “No, water is called tubig.”

“Ohhh, I got it,” Javi nodded in understanding. You continued giggling, and Javi smiled at your amusement. It wasn’t until you turned to meet Steve and Carrillo’s ever-observant stares that the two of you immediately dropped your amused expressions and put on your game faces, pointedly avoiding each other’s gaze as if scolded by your schoolteacher for being caught.

“I think we should go to this one here today,” Carrillo pointed out on the map. “See what people know.”

“I agree,” Steve said. “Let’s head out.” Carrillo gestured with his arm for you to go first, and you obliged, walking in pace with Steve. Then, you heard the loud, unmistakable sound of a smack, and you turned around to be met with the sight of Javi rubbing the back of his head and Carrillo’s smug smirk. The trip to the discussed barrio was a short one, and it was quite the spectacle with five squad cars and Steve’s car wedged into the middle of the squadron. The humid heat coupled with the fact people were being secretive and protecting Escobar fanned the flames of your frustration. You understood why, but this made your job a whole lot harder. You were talking to an older woman sitting outside her home when you heard a thud on the roof behind you. A lower-ranking sicario made eye contact with you before darting the opposite direction.

“Suspect headed eastbound. In pursuit. Need backup. Over.” You sprinted toward the sicario’s direction, staying on the ground while a couple uniformed police officers chased him on the roofs. You cut through an alley to hopefully cut the sicario off. Turns out, Javi had the same idea because he turned the corner at the same time. Both of you nodded at each other, and Javi took the lead. Up ahead, you saw a man gesturing wildly to someone on the roof to come to the running car. You looked up in time to the sicario jump across roofs and shimmy down to the ground. Javi and you ran to the end of the alley, and Javi turned the corner to pursue the car. You’re not sure what came over you. Call it instinct. Or maybe sheer luck. You grasped Javi’s elbow and tugged him back with all your might to the cover of the alley and flush against your body. Gunshots rang out and whizzed past the two of you, pinging at nearby cars and windows. Javi hugged you close to him and acted as a human shield. Screeching of tires flooded your ears as the sicario’s car revved away from the barrio.

Javi pulled away and held your face in his hands, looking you over for any injuries. “Are you ok, querida? Did you get hurt?!”

“I’m ok. I’m ok,” You swallowed down the tight knot forming in the back of your throat and croaked out, “Are you?” Javi nodded before planting a kiss on your forehead and crushing you against him. You squeezed your arms around his torso reveling in the feeling of his body against yours. The two of you didn’t let go until you heard Carrillo’s voice through your walkie-talkie, asking for one of you to confirm your location. Javi reached for his talkie and confirmed both of you were safe and would be headed back. The two of you locked eyes with each other, chests heaving, and before you could move, Javi crushed you against his chest again, clutching a tuft of your hair and muttering Spanish under his breath. He was speaking too fast for you to even pick up a word, but you were happy to just hear the beat of his pounding heart.

“We should go,” you begrudgingly muttered. “Steve is gonna come looking for us.” Javi planted one last kiss on your forehead, and your eyes fluttered close at the feel of his soft lips against your skin. He’s here, you thought. He’s here, and he’s safe. The rest of the day passed by without much fanfare. Steve and Carrillo were met with nods when they asked if you and Javi were ok. You were the only one who was able to provide verbal details. Javi remained silent. After debriefing with Carrillo, the car ride back to work passed in silence. The end of the day came quickly enough, and it wasn’t until you shut your apartment door shut that the events of the day came rushing back to you.

You had almost lost Javier today. He was almost shot, and you almost lost him. There were no tears as you expected. No sobs wracking your body. Just a deep and heavy realization. You tossed your keys and purse on to the table and wrenched open the door only to be met with Javier — fist raised about to knock on your door.

“Fuck, Javi!” You clutched your heaving chest in surprise. “You scared the shit out of me!”

“Mahal kita!” Javi proclaimed.

“…what?!”

“Mahal kita. I was waiting until tonight to say it, but after today, I can’t wait. I could’ve died. I could’ve died and never told you and…

“Te amo,” you cut in. “Te amo mucho.” Tears were now falling down your cheeks. Javier broke out in a big smile which you mirrored. He let out a breath he had been holding before taking your face in his hands and kissing you. The kiss easily deepened. Your mouths locked in a desperate dance to prove over and over again that this was real. You were here. He was here, and the two of you loved each other. Javi broke the kiss to pepper small kisses on your forehead, cheeks, chin, jaw, and neck — eliciting small giggles out of you.

“Hey guys…” Steve’s voice chimed in, making Javi and you jump away from each other. Steve and Connie were holding a case of beer and a tray of brownies, their wide-eyed stares focused on you and Javi.

“I knew it!” Connie exclaimed. She bumped her elbow against Steve’s arm. “I told you they were dating.” You broke out in a relieved laugh at Connie’s words, letting your shoulders drop.

Steve came and placed his arms around Javi and you and led all of you inside your open apartment. “You two have a lot of explaining to do.”

Jeronica Headcanon’s Part 2

1: Who spends almost all their money on the other?

- Surprisingly, Jughead. He loves to find small items that would look great on Veronica and make it their thing, their item as a couple. Veronica spends money on Jughead by buying food and new clothes when his get messy from Serpent business. Still, Jughead spends most of his money on Veronica because that’s just how much he loves her.

2: Who sleeps in the other’s lap?

- Veronica loves to fall asleep in Jughead’s lap, resting her head on his thighs as she splays herself across the couch. Or, she’ll curl up on top of him and nestle her ear up against his chest so she can feel him breathing along with her, and hear his heartbeat. However, sometimes when Jughead has a bad day, he likes to stretch himself over the couch and lay his head against her lap so she can play with his hair.

3: Who walks around the house half-naked and who yells at them to put on some clothes?

- Jughead walks around half-naked because society allows him to, and Veronica always tells him to put clothes on when they have people over. That does not mean Veronica doesn’t try to tease him by doing the same thing and parading around in her underwear while Jughead is trying to work.

4: Which one tells the other not to stay up all night and which one stays up all night anyway?

- When Jughead isn’t out all night for Serpent business, he always tells Veronica to come to bed, and not to stay up. But she used to be a party animal, she was used to staying up all night and waking up early in the morning to make herself look as beautiful as she always did with ease. It was almost in her blood, in a way. So, of course he’d wake up groggily and she’ll be up and making breakfast or scrolling through her phone while sipping tea and he’ll wonder how the hell she can do it without twenty naps throughout the day.

5: Which one tries to make food for the other but burns it all by accident and which one tells them that it’s okay and makes them both cookies?

- Despite Jughead’s affinity for food, that doesn’t mean he necessarily knows how to cook. He can make the simple, cheap foods like macaroni and cheese with hot dogs or ramen, but when it came to meals he needed… a little help. He wanted to get better, but that wouldn’t change just because he wanted it to. So, when he ended up burning the food, Veronica would help him clean out the burnt smell, tell him it was okay and that he can try again some other time, and then bakes cookies for them to eat while watching a movie.

6: Which one reads OTP prompts and says “Oh that’s us!” and which one goes “Eh, not really”?

- Veronica reads the prompts, Jughead doesn’t agree because he believes they’re all substantial to the relationship and not every one could possibly be them (but for the most part, it COULD be them if they wanted to)

7: Which one constantly wears the other’s clothes?

- Veronica. She LOVES wearing Jughead’s clothes, especially after sex because she looks absolutely stunning in his dark “S” shirt that was his favorite.

8: Which one spends all day running errands and which one says “You remembered [thing], right?”

- Jughead goes out a lot because he has to check in with the Serpents, so he will multi-task and get groceries and such at the same time. Ever since Jughead forgot to bring home the single thing he went out to get, Veronica constantly asks him if he remembered to get everything on the list.

9: Which one drives the car and which one gives them directions?

- Jughead drives because it gives him a piece of mind, and Veronica gives him directions.

10: Which one does the posing while the other one draws?

- Veronica poses, while Jughead draws. Playfully, she loves to say “draw me like one of your French girls” and they both just laugh. Sometimes, though, when Veronica wants to spice things up a bit she’ll switch her role and try to draw Jughead. Whether that be clothed or not, he appreciates her unique eye on his appearance (even if she’s not fantastic at drawing, it’s the thought that counts)

11: If they were about to rob a museum, which one does backflips through lasers and which one is strolling behind with a bag of chips?

- Jughead twists and turns his body in an attempt to not be caught by the lasers, and Veronica, knowing that this isn’t a movie and that it wouldn’t be that insane follows behind slowly while chewing on whatever snack she brought with her in the van.

12: Which one of your OTP overdoes it on the alcohol and which one makes the other stop drinking?

- Because of his father’s affinity for alcohol as he grew up, Jughead isn’t too fond of alcohol. He’ll still drink it for celebrations and certain occasions and whatnot, but usually he is always the designated driver. He has to tell the beautiful party girl to slow down, because he doesn’t want her to do something stupid that she’ll regret. She gets wild, and into the old mindset she wants to forget, so if angering her by taking away her alcohol is what he has to do, he will.

13: Which one likes to surprise the other with a lot of small random gifts?

- They both do. It’s a tradition for them: every month on a date decided the month before, they surprise each other with multiple, small gifts. Although, Jughead tends to buy more than Veronica.

14: Which one keeps accidentally using the other’s last name instead of their own?

- Since Veronica has liked her last name considering it was tied to her father, she desperately wanted to distance herself from it so sometimes she would be trying out her name with Jughead’s last name and when introducing herself to new people she accidentally tells them she’s Veronica Jones instead of Veronica Lodge because she’s said it so many times that it’s almost true. Even if they aren’t married (yet).

15: Which one screams about the spider and which one brings the spider outside?

- Veronica screams about the spider, and Jughead helps it outside. Jughead, growing up in a trailer, was used to spiders and mice and such making their way into the trailer so unlike the pampered princess who very rarely saw any kind of scary creature, he didn’t mind.

16: Which one gives the other their jacket?

- Jughead loves to give Veronica his jacket. Mostly because when she returns them (even though he says she doesn’t have to) it smells like her.

17: Who keeps getting threatened by the other’s overprotective older sibling?

- Charles actually likes Veronica (and Betty isn’t older than Jughead) and Veronica’s sister is working with her father, so they don’t really have anyone to be the overprotective older sibling, but if this was an alternate universe I figure Hermosa would be incredibly protective over the younger sister she knew she had but hadn’t really met until. recently.

18: Who’s the first one to admit they have feelings for the other?

- Jughead was the first one to admit that he had feelings for Veronica. He fought with himself for weeks on end, trying to pretend he didn’t but eventually he couldn’t do it anymore and he just flat out told her. She was surprised, and he actually thought that she didn’t like him back because she avoided him the next day, but the day after she came back and apologized, saying she had to wrap her mind around the fact that he actually liked her, despite their rocky start. And she kissed him when he began to nervously ramble off about how he was shocked that a girl like her would actually be interested in a guy like him, and they went on a date and they began dating.

19: How good would your OTP be at parenting?

- Taking all the lessons she learned about her father, Veronica vowed to never become like him so she was strict yet understanding, and Jughead was more lenient, however together they were a perfect molding of a safe, loving, caring, respectful parenting duo who’s kids would know that they had rules, but if they simply asked nicely and cooperated, they were essentially able to do whatever they wanted.

20: Which one types with perfect grammar and which one types using numbers as letters?

- Both like to type with perfect grammar because they are lovers of literature and writing, but sometimes when Veronica is annoyed with Jughead she will text him using numbers and emoji’s and stuff like that because he’ll practically do anything to get her to stop.

21: Who gets attacked by a bully and who protects them?

- They both are bullied for different reasons, and they protect each other. When the football jocks mess with Jughead for being a shy loner, Veronica with nothing but her sharp words will bring their resolve to the ground. And when people hound after Veronica for what her dad has done, Jughead is the first to tell them to shut up because she’s not her father, she’s better than he could even dream of and if they have a problem, take it up with him.

22: Who makes the bad puns and who makes a pained smile every time the other makes a pun?

- Both like to make bad puns, but Jughead does it more because it makes up a lot of his humor.

23: Who comes home from work to see that the other one bought a puppy?

- Veronica comes back to see Jughead holding a dirty puppy, pleading smile on his face as he explains he felt bad that the puppy’s mother died. So they take it in and it becomes another addition to the South Side Serpent’s dogs.

24: Which one gives the other a piggyback ride when they’re tired?

- When Veronica’s feet hurt from her high heels, she hops onto Jughead’s back and he’s completely fine with it because then he can toss her onto the bed and make her laugh.

25: Which one competes in some sort of activity and which one does the overzealous cheering?

- Both are very competitive, so when it’s not (surprisingly) against each other, they are each other’s hype man and cheer their significant other on.

26: Who takes a selfie when the other one falls asleep on their shoulder?

- Jughead knows Veronica hates it when he takes pictures of her without her knowing (especially if she thinks she looks ugly), so whenever she falls asleep on his shoulder he takes a picture of her to show her how cute she is later, even if she doesn’t think she looks cute.

27: Which one would give the other a makeover if they asked?

- Jughead. He knows Veronica has incredible taste with everybody she meets, it’s her talent and so when he wants to dress up and look good for whatever reason, he asks for her help. Sometimes, he likes to imagine he never had the shitty childhood and grew up rich when she places him in a suit and combs over his hair.

28: Which one owns a pet that the other is absolutely terrified of?

- Jughead, because he’s a Serpent, rescues this baby snake that Veronica is horrified of. She told him that if it ever got out of it’s enclosure and it got stepped on, it would not be her fault.

29: Which one holds the umbrella over both of them when it rains?

- Jughead. Veronica’s tiny “rich person” umbrella does jack shit for rain or even sunshine so Jughead has to buy the big, bulky, usually “ugly” umbrella so neither of them end up soaked.

30: If your OTP went on vacation, where would they go and what would they do? Who would take the pictures?

- They would probably travel around the United States (for Jughead), and for Veronica, they’d travel to France because it’s the city of love ❤️

I didn’t want to write so I decided to find more headcanons. I looked up “OTP questions and found this post so yeah! If you want me to take this down, just ask!

Riverdale 4x05 Recap

If they’re making us suffer through another Archie vigilante story line then they might as well go all out and bring back the real estate deals plots

Why was that woman walking in alone in an alley in the bad part of town?

It’s nice of the writers to remind us that Kevin is gay. So looks like they’re gonna sweep Kevin betraying Betty to the Farm last season under the rug. Kevin gave up a night of bathroom cruising so they’re all good now

I’d feel sorry for Hermione except she actually is guilty of a bunch of crimes including murder!

I hope we see Moose again

The casting notice for Grandpa Jones said he was in hiding in the woods outside Riverdale because of a conflict related to the Baxter Brothers Franchise and we now know that’s a detective novel series

Pops is okay with forgery but not perjury

Why is Veronica so shocked that her father is evil? He’s also guilty of a ton of charges!

I did laugh at Hiram’s snarky ‘’I’ll be rooting for her’’

I’m beginning to think that this prosecutor lady doesn’t know what she’s doing...

They’re really reminding us that Kevin is gay this ep. He already had an inappropriate connection with cam boy Chic when they though he was the real Charles, so guess he wants to try his luck with the real deal

Oooh man Riverdale back at it with the junk science. There are no such things as serial killer or ‘’warrior’ genes. All humans have an innate capacity for violence and there are myriad genetic and environmental factors that shape a persons behaviour. Psychopaths do have a distinctive brain structure (largely related to the functioning of the pre-frontal cortex) but again it is a result of many different genes and while all serial killers are psychopaths not all psychopaths are serial killers. Indeed, numerous studies have shown that environmental factors such as a traumatic childhood are necessary in order to turn a psychopath into a serial killer

Looks like KP Apa just had a recent dye job, Archie’s hair is very red tonight

Did that guy just leave his shop and march a teenager down to the rec centre just to talk to Archie?

so Grandpa Jones was probably one of the ghost writers?

I love that their hospital set is clearly just the school

Why would one kid getting arrested lead to the shutdown of the community centre??

Animal cruelty is a huge red flag for future serial killers

I didn’t remember FP killing Tall Boy

Lmao why did FP say it like he was so shocked that Hermione’s name was on the lease

Is anyone gonna investigate Manetta’s murder?

If Hermione is being tried in Federal court than only the President could pardon her not the Governor

Betty killed her cat? That’s fucked up

I love how FP complains that they’ll make him wear a tie and blazer at Stonewall when he’s literally wearing a tie and Sheriff’s uniform

Looks like they’re sticking with Grandpa Jones being a violent drunk and they’re not gonna retcon it anymore

I do appreciate that they’re not glossing over the effects that abuse had on FP

Yeah the FBI loves holding meetings at the speakeasy run by a teen girl

I’d love to see that contract ‘’I Veronica Luna pledge not to blackmail you anymore’’

Murder is a fun game

Brett is such a dweeb

Hermione’s middle name is Apollonia like Michael Corleone’s first wife in Sicily, nice little mafia reference the writers slipped in there

Nice cost cutting measure having ‘Hal’’ not appear clearly

Is FP really comparing the kids at the centre with the Serpents who were an actual criminal gang??

Brett’s not mad, he’s laughing

Riverdale doing a decent job of paralleling Betty and Jughead’s struggles to avoid their families past

Hey Reggie is there, not a bad way to earn a pay cheque

Really kind of lame that Grandpa Jones is just out in a cabin in the woods, like at least abandon your family and move to Greendale or something

Most large law enforcement agencies screen out psychopaths through use of the PCL-R test so even if Charles had those genes, he’s not a psychopath and one can’t turn into a psychopath

The lesson kids is that blackmail works

Hermosa Lodge... well it’s a twist

Lmao another mayoral run plot!

Great disguise Betty!

How does Dodger not know that’s Archie?

Oh man these flash forwards are getting more ridiculous. Yeah yeah Jughead is really dead and Betty and Archie and Veronica really killed him

Oh nice Chic is back next week! And the Blossoms! And Hiram and Hermione are hooking up for some reason? Until next week folks

While all these smug declarations and statements were going on by and between Hermione and Veronica, the thing to notice is that HERMOSA SAYS NOTHING AT ALL. Strategic silence from the sexy snake in the grass. Honestly? Veronica and Hermione are so naive, in so many ways that Hermosa simply could not afford to be.

The definitive breaking point of Veronica and Hiram's relationship, from which they never recovered, engineered by Hermosa Lodge.

There's a reason it's only Hermosa that takes the celebratory drink. God damn, that's cold. I love her so much.

Riverdale S4 E6 (Spoilers!)

- OK so this episode! I feel like I’m being put in my place for saying the Lodges’ storyline was getting stale, like, Hiram heard it from prison and is coming at me, personally: Oh yeah? Let me show you both my nipples. Also, here, have some Parentdale Tension, choke on it.

- Before we get to that, I need to say: Riverdale is such a beautiful lookin’ show. There are some amazing tumblr accounts that track the art history and cinematic references in Riverdale, and I have them to thank for developing my eye enough to appreciate all the wonderful lighting choices that go on in this show. In Jughead’s dorm, the light from the lamp on his desk is orange, but behind him, the window is blue, almost stain-glass looking, and boy he looks angelic in his crisp white shirt. Sometimes the commitment to visual splendor overpowers the plot - Sketch Alley, which is supposed to be the worst, looks so beautiful given how it’s painted in beams of color: neon blue, moss greens, burnt oranges, ember reds and inky shadows.

Hiram v Archie

- Hiram has fought off his murder case and is back in town to make amends and pretend to start fresh. (He really just means to finish the real estate project, because Dracula). The thing is, the first person he makes an overture to is Archie. He tries to give Archie a blank check to “make all your problems go away” to which Archie talks to him like he’s an ex who wounded him: “Nothing is that simple with you.”

- Later, when it all goes wrong for Archie, because it always does, because Archie is a scary violent white man one trick pony who also is not very bright (this is not a pro Archie blog, people), Hiram comes to Archie’s gym (which Hiram loaned to Archie and then Veronica gave him outright) solely to watch Archie’s face when Hiram says, more or less, Word To Your Mother.

- This bitter ex energy, in canon, is way more intense than the ‘Hey-Hey’ stuff they keep doing with Bughead in S5.

Parentdale’s MVP Hermione

- Hermione Lodge meanwhile is trying to start fresh, but she pled guilty to attempted murder and got out on a governor’s pardon, so I guess she can no longer use her accounting degree/ license that she used for her brief job with Andrews Construction in S1. Veronica is continuing the Pop Tate tradition of hiring all the down and outs of Riverdale, and this now includes her own mother.

- Hiram brings Hermosa to gloat over Hermione, because it turns out Hermione’s weakness is classism. She thinks it’s shameful to work in the food services industry (but not any of the other things she has done).

- Hiram then seduces Hermione. I remember being really really upset by this scene, like screaming at my tv upset, the first time, and I’m upset all over again, but this time, with myself, because this... is hot (???!?). There’s something about Hiram that’s so gross and cheesy. Everything about him is ridiculous, like someone cosplaying a man and going too far. He’s so prissy about his tight shirts and hair just so, keeping his body fat really low and his pecs really big. He’s a walking cliche, talking evenly with his gravelly voice. And yet, when he sees his woman, he just starts undressing in a way that is so dominant and assured. Hermione responds by positively vibrating, with both actual fear and reluctant arousal and - and I don’t know what to feel anymore about anything.

The things these people say to each other! Her: I am finally free of you! Him: Let me back in. And also! Him: You’ll be my wife again. Her: Over my dead body. And finally! Him: I need you. Her: [giving in] I already regret this.

And this would not work the way it does if it was just Hiram because it would just look like marital rape and woman-torture. The fact that Hermione likes this, and her erotic misery being so gorgeous (omg she’s so, so beautiful, what a femme fatale) elevates this whole situation.

The “I need you” thing is such a warning. He doesn’t say I love you or I’m sorry. He just says always always, I NEED YOU, meaning YOU ARE USEFUL TO ME. Hold that thought while I go find my biggest red flag, bud.

Hermosa & the Lodges

- Papi's Passion is Rum. But this is a lie of course. Extortion, Murder, Rum - these are not Hiram's passions. Veronica is his passion. And his Veronica is supposed to be the eldest child and she is so salty that she is not.

- Veronica is so disappointed in Hermione, and Hermione is territory over which Veronica is fighting with Hiram, which I don’t think there’s some sort of named Freudian complex (it’s neither Oedipal nor Elektra, exactly). The things Veronica says to her mother are exactly like someone whose girlfriend ditches them for another partner. “I want to hear it from her.”

- And goddamn Hiram turns on the bullshit psychoanalysis, accusing her of being jealous of Hermosa. I HATE IT when people do this to young women. It makes me spit my own teeth out, I get so mad, “You’re still the apple of my eye.” That’s her whole problem, asshole. Veronica, my smarty queen, just leaves, because that’s sometimes the best thing.

- Rum Sucking Leeches! Veronica in black with pearls hurls this at Hermosa in white with the same pearls, and Hiram’s girls are looking so amazingly gorgeous together.

- But seriously I love everything about Hermosa. Her voice is soothing, her eyes are knowing, and she is so unflappable.

Bughead

- Jughead says he’s in existential hell (oh you drama queen) because he is not finding genre fiction easy to slide into (more on this later) but much of the exhaustion, I think, comes from typing in the dark on his PC which is terrible for the eyes.

- Jughead calls Betty his Anchor, which I kind of agree with (Anchors are also deadweights that drag you), and then runs to meet her at the diner. Betty is the only person in the whole of Jughead’s 17 years on earth who reliably shows up when he needs them. Poor Jughead. By the way, I love how Pop's diner has signs saying DINER in it for characters to sit underneath because otherwise you wouldn't know you were in THE DINER from the diner furniture and the food.

- You could also kiss your girlfriend. Speaking of, on initial watch when I was in love with Jughead being in love with Betty and thought it was Bughead I loved (Betty Cooper you give me back what you took from me!) I was just too busy looking at their pretty faces and basking in their easy intimacy, but now I see that Betty has pre-ordered a burger for Jughead before he arrives. And while Jughead is jabbering on about the writing assignment, he is so worked up he looks at the burger and then just keeps talking.

Jughead Jones In Search of a Genre

- Jughead analyzing the Baxter Bros books in order to find a way to write a Baxter Bros novel is going about it all wrong. First of all, genre fiction gets so disrespected but there’s totally an art to it and a real specific aptitude - people who write great detective novels don’t write great romance. And if it’s not your genre, it’s not your genre. The urge to tear apart and examine a work is probably good indication that it isn’t your bag, no?

- Jughead’s genre might well be NON fiction literary writing. He loves finding out the truth, he loved working on the school newspaper, he founded a school newspaper when it was defunct. But just like (ooh analogy!) his urge towards holding on to Betty, thinking well of Jellybean, believing Archie to be a hero, he has set himself this task of writing fiction and being a novelist, and so he STRUGGLES with it. He’s so much steadier and livelier when he’s delving into factual analysis and putting things together logically from clues. He could’ve been a fearsome English PhD - “Verbiage and phrasing are like literary fingerprints,” says the high school senior.

- Literary Fingerprints: I’ve never read genre fiction series that were written by a bunch of people so I have no idea if Riverdale or Jughead are just being annoying or of this is real. It sounds real.

Jughead Finds a New Conspiracy

- What if it was my grandfather? Jughead is always right on these, of course.

- Jughead has never heard a single good thing about his grandfather, but once he knows that Forsythe Jones the First was some sort of writer, may have written a book, cared about him in a long distance way, he is all in. A man sending an unseen grandchild a book a year is both caring and neglect. This combination - love and pain, friendship and indifference - this is every one of Jughead’s relationships. He calls this man my ‘grandpa’ with all this love and care and pride in his voice and this kid is just so lonely!

- Think about it. Jughead says this to Betty twice when trying to push his (mostly correct, slightly wrong) theory about his Grandpa being the author of the first Baxter Book. ‘Frosty Pajamas” is Grandpa’s high school pen name. So being a weird weirdo who doesn’t fit in is in the Jones DNA (sorry I had to put that in there lol).

- Jughead and his irrepressible urge to go confront the perpetrator with the thing he’s figured out, Poirot style harms him again! This is why he grows up to be a man who runs towards the alien spaceship. Aiee.

- Jughead Jones so brave, and because he’s so all about the truth he thinks other people will be hurt the way he is when it’s been obscured or distorted. This makes Jughead Jones is too pure for this earth, but he’s also such a stupid little kid sometimes. (Sorry Jughead, but I am a cynical bitch). Why is Jughead so willing to throw himself into danger all the time? It’s not that he doesn’t know reality - he is fully able to articulate what the stakes would be for someone like Chipping to go after Dupont. His writing career, his own reputation and his steady paycheck can go up in smoke. But he insists that Chipping do the right thing anyway, and Jughead’s dangerous purity makes Chipping do the thing that gets you killed in fiction - be a bad person who sold out who suddenly grows a conscience. They do this all the time in movies and tv and I don’t know what they are trying to tell me. If you sell out once just give up forever and never try to right course?

Goodbye Mr Chipping

- I’m sorry Jughead, that I couldn’t help you. Literally the last words of Mr Chipping. Is this person the man who loved Jughead more than anyone Jughead has ever met? And the Stonewall Preppies sit there not reacting, and not calling an ambulance, breaking Jughead’s heart.

Grades Are Bullshit

- Because the teacher has committed suicide, seminar has been cancelled and all of them get an automatic 4.0. I always thought it was bullshit that expensive schools do this - what if the person just wants a fuckin’ refund of their tuition and fees? The snotty literati brats are hankering for Celeste Ng or Ian McEwan - pffft - but then they get the Baxter Bros. author.

Cheryl and the Other Blossoms

- Cheryl is given immediate and prolonged punishment in a reign of terror that (I think it’s Penelope) is inflicted on her for what she did with Toni Topaz. Whoever thinks that the altar and weird religion in the upcoming S5B is something that comes out of nowhere are um, people who think about Riverdale merely a normal amount, because I guess it feels like a surprise. Lucky for me, I think about Riverdale a bit - NOT A LOT - more than the normal amount! So actually, the Blossoms being occult was said out loud in canon by none other than Alice from the very first season onwards.

- So Cheryl traps a doll in a ring of salt and is immediately cheered up by it (and Toni is just so unhappy, I want to hug her) and then is freaked out when someone moves it. Nice detail, Penelope, taking care to leave little salt foot prints when gaslighting your own daughter. Cheryl buys into the hype of the doll and drowns it in the tub and Toni just looks like she would rather be homeless again.

- Cheryl faints when she sees her aunt and uncle, and two of her male cousins fully look and act like vampires. When they want to go to the chapel, the official narrative is that it’s because she has Jason’s corpse in there, but there must be a reason must be more occult. Lighting a candle in the chapel and calling it “visit with our ancestors” is the most woo-woo sounding thing ever.

- Miss Bell tells Cheryl bad news about the twins and she knows literally step by step everything that’s happened with Dagwood’s tracheostomy but I wonder if she and Nana Rose were girlfriends in the past?

- Choni commit murder, in self defense. Uncle Bedford initially has a rational sounding upset reaction to the Jason mummy: There’s a certain sickness in our bloodline, it’s monstrous, and you’re going away for a long time you monster! Then he turns a corner, and straight up wants to kill Cheryl! Toni finally gets to do something that she’s wanted to do - she whacks a person on the back of the head, Betty Cooper style.

- I can’t support Choni after this episode, which is sad. Cheryl is just too toxic.

Archie is Nothing Without Veronica

- Dodger is very overly interested in each of his charges / children - is that supposed to mean something? He provides kids food, housing and entertainment, in that order, and the kids tell Archie this but he can’t grasp it. Basically, you can’t say anything to Archie in the form of a list. You can’t say ‘and’ to Archie, because he won’t hear the thing that comes after the ‘and.’ The kids said Dodger pays us, there are arcades AND pizza, and since Archie has no intention of paying them he just skipped that part, and the pizza comes after ‘and’ so all he heard was ‘arcade.’

- Archie would be absolutely nothing without Veronica, in the way that Chad would be absolutely nothing without Veronica (from what we’ve seen in the first half of S5) so if you hate Chad you need to hate Archie because this relationship, her first important one, seems to be the one she locked into repeating. Chad’s all Archie’s fault. BRING BACK REGGIE. When Veronica has done an overly generous thing is when Archie says he loves Ronnie, and it’ brings the the same bitter sour feelings for me as when he called her badass only when she committed violence.

- Oh and I forgot this: Mary ends up being in a drive by shooting because of this thing that Archie is doing that is only in any way effective because basically Veronica is running it for him.

FP Jones

- FP gets a slow mo entry as a Sheriff who helps children and saves the town. In the process of FP and Archie trying to take down Dodger. FP is learning concepts like probable cause but he looks really depressed. Is FP getting laid? Oh right, Alice lives there. Oh. That’s why he’s depressed. Okay.

So Chic and Charles play Betty & Alice

- Jughead asks Betty, How is the mystery of our suspicious brother going. This is still so very gross.

- Betty wants to know if Charles is a serial killer, and this is because she has been told he has the same genes that she does, and so she really wants to know what is going to happen to herself.

- Charles works out 90 minutes every single day, and that's how Kevin knows he's gay and lonely. Is this homophobic?

- Betty is haunted by the death of Shady Man, and can’t look at the problem straight on. She wants to be caught and be punished for it, because she’s a good person deep down. Alice is not, however. She’s just annoyed that she might get caught because her daughter who is not her son is not letting go of a stupid little matter of a murder Alice committed. Why how could you Betty? she keeps screaming. Recall that Charles and Betty inherited the Serial Killer Gene from Alice.

- Polygraphs Don’t Work but Betty doesn’t know this, but she hears a whackadoo story from Chic and tries to get the ‘truth’ such as it is out of Charles. Why isn’t the first question something about the Farm, Alice, how they found each other again, how it is that he passed the FBI requirements if he has a history and probably a record etc? Because Betty is self obsessed and worried about her future, and so all her questions are purely about things that will pertain to her and these damn Serial Killer Genes. So *Will I Become a Killer? that’s what she wants to know.
