R: My parents won't be able to pay you, Archie. And it's not easy work.

A: Reg. [pause] I got it. It's all part of the experience. You're going to Camp Evans. Let me take up the slack at Duck Creek. Sleep in your barn, learn the ukulele, break bread with your mom, your dad.

R: Yeah. Okay. Sounds good.

✨Fic Update: In Technicolor—Ch.6: Secrets You Keep (Reggie)✨

Crowds finally catching up with us now that it was safe on the track, they came down in gobs hanging onto the sides of their rides--girls standing straight out the top of moon roofs while guys held on tight to the interior oh-shit handles while pressing up against the side doors. Swarmed as they reached us, I found Pretty Boy among them. Smiled brighter with more than just the lingering thrill pulsing in my veins when the distance between us closed.

Hands taking hold of my face on either side, he brought me in for a kiss that was all tongues, hot breath, and bites to each others lips. Fuck, he was good at this. Little devil, he'd done this before and I couldn't be hotter under the collar for him. Growling at the fingers tugging at the roots of my hair, I pulled away some. Looked at him in a way that let him know he was in trouble. Loved how Pretty Boy grinned that cheeky fucking smile knowing exactly what I was going to do to him.

"Name...?" I implored, politely. I may be itching to savage him but I could be a gentleman.

"Trevor." Kissing my chin with a suck at the end, I was almost hypnotized by those baby blues. "You?"

"Reggie."

"Reggie?" Trevor purred, his hands slipping into my back pockets to give my ass a squeeze. "I like it. So Reggie, you free tonight? And tomorrow morning?"

"Depends."

His heart-shaped lips curled in the corners. "On?"

"Your stamina."

"Good thing for you I run track."

"And I'm a medaling swimmer."

"Then we can settle the score on who's got better endurance, swimmers or runners." Squeezing my cheeks again through the rigid denim that was getting pretty tight now up front, Trevor batted his lashes at me. Worked me like I worked my cars. He was really good. "You game?"

Gripping his hip hard, I couldn't help how jazzed it made me feel seeing this guy just melt into my touch. So close. He was so close to perfect. I knew it was fucked up using him as a stunt double for the person I wish was standing in front of me. I felt like shit every morning after each hookup. But I couldn't stop myself. My urges and desires were beyond me now and it was this or lose a friend. My best, dearest, and most treasured friend. So I again, I exercised caution and was responsible. Picked the boys that looked like Archie but weren't Archie. The "almosts but not quite's." And Trevor was a near perfect almost.

Dipping my head down, I kissed him good. Long and slow. Made sure Trevor was chasing my tongue with a sigh when I pulled away. Looking at him now, I felt that knife in my chest twist when instead of blue I saw molten amber. Golden caramels with flames of orange instead of serene aquamarine.

Close but not quite.

Almost but not perfect.

"I'm game."

or: an interpretation of the archie/reggie kiss picture that was posted

[jughellthethird]

Archie : [To Reggie] I’m comfortable enough with my hetero status to say that if I did play for the other team? I wouldn’t just fuck Jughead , I’d marry him.

Look at Roberto in between the endgame ships 💋✨💚🫶🏻

Okay I wanna say sth so in the new episode …SPOILER:

So Betty actually wins the pageant according to the judges but Alice reads and crowns Ethel winner instead because she thinks the opportunities will help someone like Ethel. So I was thinking about the potential endgame ships in relation, now a lot of people aren’t understanding Beronica but I think in RAS’ mindset giving endgames for example to ships like Beronica and jarchie or Reggie and Archie would help queer representation in different ways than Choni and Kevin etc. As they’re the core 4 of the main characters - usually they would not be queer in any other show leading from friendship to romance. Usually in shows ships like these would never be endgame. Or even have a chance. But Beronica happening has changed this. I made a joking post before about how in most shows barchie would be endgame but in riverdale anything is possible. But I think there’s more meta to this after this pageant episode. Idk just musing..

Thinking this is inspired how Archie comics wouldn’t let him make Archie gay in his musical and how that influence the comics plot about censorship and then talking about the enemy is us not the red scare/communism etc the enemy is within wholesome, conforming America critique. Yes this is the milkman but it’s what riverdale is. It’s poking about this All American Archie mindset. It always has been. They’re pulling the curtain and telling you what riverdale is this season and that’s how it ties to the rest of the series. This then means they used the main ships to critique their tropes and what they mean. This concept of Alice giving Ethel the pageant win made me think how RAS might view th queer ships like jarchie or rarchie and Beronica. How normally they wouldn’t have a chance but then giving them a chance to be endgame is not something queer community is used to. For me it’s something different than the representation found in choni and the ships with Kevin. Which choni is amazing! Watch for them because they’re one of the best ships out there btw!! But Beronica and jarchie - these characters are the main icons of Archie comics and to end that classic love triangle in the queer way would be unique.
