Title : I got a driver so I’m never alone…
Status : In progress — 1/6
Couple : Jughead x Veronica — Jeronica ❤
Rating : Mature for future parts
Summary: It’s a few years later after everything, after high school, after Jason’s death and after Riverdale. It’s New York and Jughead thinks it’s the right city to start over. That is until he starts working for a certain raven-haired princess…
Side note : I’ve started writing this fic during the beginning of season 2, so it’s not taking in account any event of that season. This is based on the characters of the TV show not the comic book. V. and J. are around 24 years old in this fic.
Huge thanks to diltons for re-reading this fic and supporting me during the writing process !
Leaving Riverdale for New York seems like the logical thing to do after… after everything and Jughead doesn’t even question it. He follows his instincts as usual and he is relieved when he sets a foot in the big city. Delighted by the noise, by the people, by the sheer intensity of it all. He’s nothing out there, he thinks as he’s making his way to his Brooklyn flat. Just one out of many and that’s just fine with him. Standing out in Riverdale had been too much, especially when all he ever did was being himself. But somehow in a small town, where words are always travelling fast, it had been forbidden.
Not here though. Jughead writes, he always does, not able to abandon his trusted keyboard. He writes about everything he knows, the pain, the uncertainty of his hometown streets, the absence of his father, the echo of his mother’s voice over the phone, JB somewhere in the background asking about him… He writes like he has never written before, serving coffee during the day, just to pay the bills and eat.
He eventually gets published, which for him is not such a big deal, FP sends him a card from behind the bars, claims he read the thing in one night.
“So you finally stop writing about Jason…”
“Oh he’s in here somewhere Dad… Just using this new thing called artistic licensing or something.”
“What about using your own name next time ?”
