FAIRNESS HAD been thrown out of the equation those first nights they started sneaking out together under the riverdale stars. times were different then and even now that still seems to weigh heavily on the ladies mind’s. the silence swells, thick tension almost tangible as time passes by. a soft smile and she shakes her head. here and now she knows she’d never give up on hermione. even when they’re old, she’s sure they’ll still be just as reckless as ridiculous as it is. lorelei would follow hermione to the ends of the earth, despite how the woman regularly breaks her heart.

IT’S MUCH too hard to resist, the kiss taking her out of her head. hands lift to caress the other’s cheeks, slipping down the length of her torso to rest at her hips. she leans into the kiss heavily, eyelids fluttering as heat rushes to her cheeks. this may be a high school reunion but it feels like she’s a teenager all over again.

the amount of times she had told lorelei that they  NEED  to stop feels pointless every time she feels her lips pressed against the other woman’s  &  she knows every time that they are, she just wants to give her what she wants.  &  she is growing aware that denying her is only hurting herself in the process.   leaning into the brunette’s touch comes more natural to her than anything else  ( even more than her own husband’s touch ).   she can deny that she wants a relationship with lorelei as much as she wants,   but hermione has never been able to deny how  right  it feels when her lips are pressed against the other’s.

the only way she has ever been capable of pulling away from her is that she knows that lorelei deserves better than being kissed in a bathroom or behind closed doors  &  she always has.  her lips part from the taller woman’s,  ❝ i’m convinced we will always end up here. ❞   the reunion serves as a reminder of that.   a hand reaches up to cup one of the brunette’s cheeks       she realizes that it’s all she wants  & she is more than aware that she is the one who keeps herself from the luxury of this every day regardless of how much she would prefer to deny it.  

IS IT that lorelei remains connected to the serpents? is it that lorelei isn’t as established as hiram? what is it that keeps her at arms length? lorelei’s eyes close and she enjoys the warmth of hermione’s hand on her face. some where along the way, she’d started holding her breath and its when the older woman breaks the silence that she lets it go. her eyes open, brows lifting in response. for a moment she doesn’t know what to say. she thinks back to the first time she saw hermione in these halls and it’s almost like she’s transported there. she remembers it being sunny, after a week of rain. hermione, finally able to escape her raincoat, dressed to impress. lorelei not looking as exquisite in her leather serpent jacket and her knee torn jeans, sitting with her brother at the edge of the tables in the cafeteria, alice and f.p giving her weird looks. of course they knew something was up. they always knew when something was up, even now. even in recent years, “i like to think it's written in the stars,” she laughs, “there’s no other way we’d be making out in the bathroom.”

Do not push me, Faye. I mean it.                                  Do you want to try that again? ‘Cause I didn’t quite buy it.

it’s really important to show women who are not just offshoots of men. i would love to keep playing roles that challenge stereotypes of women, that educate the audience a little bit.

HER FAMILIAR heart stopping face catches lorelei’s attention before she even has a chance to order a drink. hermione. fingers twitch to reach for the water in front of her. she hasn’t seen the woman in months — or has it been a full year? and truthfully, she never thought she’d see her again. hope sprouts amidst torn heart strings, something she’ll come to regret later, surely. still, a soft smile warms her features as she finishes her water and makes her way over, “hey beautiful.” bold and brilliant, she’s got her hands shoved into leather jacket pockets and her heart out on a platter for a married woman.

    a drink is more than necessary after being left alone for valentine’s day.   hiram made her a promise that when he returned,   they would still celebrate it  &  that he would make up for the delay.   however,   how he notified her about it on a note that came with a bracelet made of pearls  & that was the reason she found her reason to go to the bar with memories of him were not so prominent.    she wanted a distraction away from any of the bars that he was associated with so he wouldn’t find out later on because one of the associates were able to witness actions that he may not approve of.  glancing in the direction of the familiar voice,   a smile appears on her face as soon as she recognizes exactly who it is.     ❝  lorelei, ❞   it’s obvious that the compliment is one that has never grown old from the other woman  &  it’s something she never expects to wear off.   ❝  you’re just the person i wanted to see.  ❞    hermione had missed her  & it’s apparent with the expression that begins to make its way across her features.

LORELEI’S VALENTINE’S day plans are the same as they have been for.. well.. the last few years at least, occasionally with a few one night stands thrown in. but this night is already shaping up to be different. hermione’s face, in the sea of faces at this particular bar, is enough to get her heart racing. it’s not every day you run into your childhood ex and especially not every day that you’re still undeniably in love with her. she wonders, quietly to herself, if that is something she’ll ever be able to let go of. it’s not really becoming of a person to pine after someone for their entire life, is it? she stops her thoughts there. she can’t help what she feels. and she certainly shouldn’t let her thoughts get to her as they so often do. she should just take this moment in stride and be grateful that she still gets to talk with hermione as frequently as she does. she takes hermione’s opening as an opportunity to take a seat. in the same motion she takes her hands out of her pockets and she smiles, “tired of looking at hiram’s square jawline?”

HERMIONE LODGE:

  ❝  no,  what i want is for you to stay here.  ❞    after all she had done for her,  all she needed right now was her girlfriend’s presence.   she didn’t have to go to unnecessary lengths just to show her that she loved her,  hermione was already aware of it or she wouldn’t have chosen her in the end.  

THERE’S NO denying how lovely it is to hear those words come from hermione’s mouth. everything she says is lovely, but stay is perhaps the loveliest. it’s hard to resist the smirk that forms as her head tilts, her legs carrying her back to the comfortable mattress, “fine.” teeth tug at her lower lip and she sits beside hermione, lifting a gentle hand to brush soft dark hair out of her girlfriend’s face, “our food will get cold.” not that they seem to care about the food anymore.

[sistersnake]

HERMIONE LODGE:

   she can’t confirm that just yet,  so she only offers a small smile at the notion,    ❝  the commitment doesn’t have to be concrete if you don’t want it to be,  we’ve waited long enough,  but we deserve to at least take what we have seriously. ❞   no,  she wasn’t proposing,  it was too soon for that after her own marriage had dissolved.  hermione needed to give veronica time to adjust  &  she wanted to confirm what she already knew:  that lorelei had always been the one that she was bound to spend her life with.

BROWS KNIT together and lorelei still isn’t sure whether or not to believe that this is actually happening. so long had she been held at arms length, that it almost feels like a dream. lips purse together tightly, an attempt to keep herself from smiling too soon. she half expects the rug to be pulled out from underneath her; for the real hermione to come out of some dark shadowy corner and rip it all away ---- she exhales the breath she must have been holding and she realizes she’s in over her head, thinking too much and analyzing the situation too deeply. lorelei should take it for what it is; a confirmation of what she has always known. hermione wants every part of her, just as she wants every part of hermione. she rocks back on her heels, shoving her hands into her back pockets and she lets the smile break free, “i would love to shout from the mountain tops that you’re my girlfriend, hermione, if you would let me.”

HERMIONE LODGE: 

with most,   hermione feels the need to question either their intentions or their loyalty,    but she finds with lorelei  –  nothing is ever in question.   the serpent is the one person that she’s been able to trust over the years  &  she supposes that is something that she will find will never change.  it’s hermione that has to prove her trust between them &  one day when her responsibilities are no longer holding her hostage, she intends to show her.   ❝  you always have more than anyone else  &  i wouldn’t be here without you. ❞

SURE, HERMIONE has a lot of work to do in the trust department, but that doesn’t mean lorelei won’t support her. fortunately, she trusts her enough to do some good for the city despite the -- man she’s attached to. lorelei smiles softly at the mayoress & for a moment she gets lost in thought about trivial things. fingers tap the side of her leg, the fabric of her jeans bringing her back down to earth, an even softer exhale, “you give me too much credit.” a laugh. okay, maybe she'd been at every campaign meeting, but she certainly hadn't worked alone. and lorelei is convinced hermione's pure charm is what won riverdale over in the end; her intelligence too, of course.

ALICE COOPER:

lorelai has a point and alice knows it.  hell, she made a point before the blonde had even walked through the door.   deep down, she isn’t sure if rejoining the serpents is the right choice.   but, her daughter seems to think it’s her own rightful place   ——   beside jughead.   and even if that may one day be true, the teenager is only seventeen.   a year younger than alice was when she’d gotten pregnant with charles.   could anyone blame her for not wanting her daughter to get ambitious and leave home before either of them are ready? ❛    i know that…    ❜    she says in a breath, letting it out slow.   ❛   i just..   i don’t want her out there, with them, doing what they do.   it’s dangerous.   and don’t even get me started on what fp was thinking by allowing jughead to be front and center of this.    i haven’t given him the earful he deserves.   ❜   sitting back, she crosses her arms, wondering just where she’d screwed up.   ❛    betty needs to focus on school.   on her grades and education.   she wants to be a journalist, to write..   but i’ll be damned if she gets stuck here, in a vicious cycle, reliving my life.   it was awful and i won’t have my kid go down that same path.    ❜   but, try as she may..   the cards would fall where they did.   even without her approval.  

LORELEI LISTENS, even though she wants to offer her opinions, she knows that alice mostly came here for someone to listen. her lips press together and she folds her hands together in her lap, brows furrowing as they get deeper into things & alice reveals her concerns. she can’t speak for her brother, but she knows that the serpents aren’t all bad. hell -- alice should know it too, but she tries to stifle her offense. they aren’t simply a gang, they’re a family of outcasts sure -- but their loyatly knows no bounds. and it was that that enticed her in the beginning. & surely that, that convinced alice to join too. her lips press together a little tighter, but they pull apart and her brow lifts, “to be fair, jughead’s grades aren’t terrible and he really enjoys school, but the serpents are his family. and they’re prepared to be betty’s family too. i don’t think we’re all too distracting,” a smug smile, “we’ve got too many parents who want their kids to be better than them.” her head tilts, “i don’t want betty to be stuck here either, but i think you joining will just strain your relationship. make the tension more tangible.”
