The Ramblings Of A Creature Of Hobbit

Title: The Face at the Window
Fandom: Riverdale
Characters: Betty. Mentions of Archie, Veronica, Jughead
Pairings: Betty/Archie
Rating: PG
Warnings: Spoilers for most recent episode
Summary: Betty knows she should keep her distance from Archie. For 100fandoms prompt: distance
( Betty ignores the voice in her head, the one from the day Veronica first started at Riverdale High, when Kevin had made the comment that Barchie was endgame )

Any, any, loyal manservant (Gotham, Alfred Pennyworth>

From the moment Thomas and Martha Wayne had asked if he would stand as guardian, Alfred had vowed he would do whatever it took to protect Master Bruce.

Even in the days immediately following Master Bruce's killing of Ra's al Ghul, when he was determined to push him away, Alfred was equally determined never to give up on him.

Now he's beginning to wonder if the day has come when Master Bruce is leaving him behind.

Any, any, all over again (Legacies, Alaric)

He could do with Caroline or Elena here right now, Alaric thinks as he watches Kaleb leading MG down the path of his first taste of human blood.

They were the ones who'd been there for Stefan as he'd dealt with his own lust for human blood, as Damon and Klaus had led him down that path, and they would be the ones who would know how to help him to help MG now.

It's down to Alaric now to do what he can to help MG, to handle Kaleb, to support Dorian through dealing with his own memories that that had triggered, and he will do the best he can, so that MG doesn't become Ripper!Stefan all over again.


Any, any, the song remains (Lost, Liam)

It's a fucking joke, Liam thinks as he hears You All Everybody on the radio for the umpteenth time and reaches to switch it off.

All Charlie had ever wanted was for DriveSHAFT to become a household name, for everyone to be singing their songs, and the thing that finally led to that was the disappearance of Oceanic Flight 815, the song's everywhere now, and he's not even here to see it.

When Liam hears the song, he thinks about how he tried to take over the chorus to the song at that concert, how that had led Charlie to try the heroin for the first time, how it had been the beginning of the end for the band, for them, how he messed up and is never going to get to make things right.

Any, any, who’s flying this thing? (American Horror Story: Apocalypse, Mallory)

Mallory hadn’t known what to think when she opened the door to the cockpit and saw that no one was flying the plane.

Considering the bomb alert that had just been sent out to the entire city, the entire world, she should just be relieved that she was getting to escape the fate that otherwise would have been hers.

But had Mallory known what awaited her in the future with the bunker, with Ms Venable, with Michael Langdon, she would have known that the fact that no one was flying the plane was the last thing she should be worried about.

any, any, "Those who hunt monsters should take care, lest they thereby become monsters themselves" (Supernatural, Dean)

As Dean spends time with Jack, takes him out to teach him to drive, he tries not to think of that time when Jack first came into their lives and Dean had thought they were better off ending him.

Who was Dean, after all, to play God and make that decision, especially now that Jack had become a part of his life and Dean could see that he was nothing like Lucifer?

He thinks back to himself as a demon, and as Michael's vessel, and Soulless Sam, Castiel as God, and wonders which of them was truly the monster.


Pretty Little Liars, any character, truths (Charlotte)

Sometimes Charlotte wonders what would happen if she stood up at one of those family dinners and announced that she wasn’t CeCe Drake at all, but Charlotte DiLaurentis, the secret child they had hidden away, swept under the carpet as though she didn’t exist.

Maybe Ali would accept her, be able to love her as her sister, but she’s not sure about Jason (in hindsight, going along with the relationship had been a mistake, but at the time it had seemed the easiest way for her to get close to the family).

As she listens to Jessica passing judgement on all her friends’ relationships, Charlotte imagines the looks on Jessica and Kenneth’s faces as she exposes their carefully constructed façade with the truth.


Legends of Tomorrow, Constantine/Desmond/any, threesome

When Desmond had talked about the idea of introducing someone else to their bed, Constantine had been willing to do anything he asked; he’d been unable to resist the chance to go back there, have a bit more time with Desmond, make him happy before the past version of Constantine was going to have to send him to hell.

Gary had loved the chance to be taken back into Constantine’s past, saying in his own inimitable Gary way that sometimes he wanted to get out of the Bureau and in the field.

As Constantine sees how happy both men are, because of him, he’s happy that he could do this one last thing.

Any, any, in space (The 100, Monty)

In some ways it was easier for him to be back in space, because that was where Monty had been happy, where he’d had his family, he’d had Jasper, and he’d had no reason to think that was going to change.

Earth was the place where he’d formed his relationship with Harper; yet it was also the place of his experience with the Mountain Men, where he’d assisted Bellamy and Clarke in ending them, leading to Maya’s death and the deterioration of his friendship with Jasper before he took his own life, where he’d thought he was forced to kill his own mother after she fell under the influence of ALIE, only then to find out there was a way she could have been saved.

On Earth, Monty’s confronted with these memories every day; maybe in space, he can be happy again.


The Flash, Cisco, in any other universe

When Barry had told him about the gangster Cisco that John Deegan had written into existence, Cisco wondered if there was a version of him like that in any other universe.

“Would you really want to know if that was the case?” Barry asked.

“I’ve thought about it, wondered if I’m an evil meta, or sometimes I’ve wondered about the simple things, like about other universes where Dante’s still alive,” (he deliberately didn’t mention wondering about a universe where he made it work with Gypsy) “but to be honest, I’d rather know if the other Ciscos are happy.”

Any book-to-movie fandom, Any, book characters react to their depiction in the movie (or vice versa) (Harry Potter, Fred and George)

"Do you think Percy’s disappointed at being cut out of the fourth movie?” George asked.

“Not as disappointed as I am about missing out on the scenes where he’d been making a prat of himself going on about Crouch this and Crouch that, and then Crouch called him Weatherby in front of us,” Fred laughed. “They even cast Trigger from Only Fools and Horses as Crouch, and he was well known for always calling someone the wrong name, what a wasted opportunity!”




any fandom, any, Sealing their Memory and Power did not make them safe, It made the danger invisible. (The Originals, Marcel and Elijah)

He thought he would be safe, that they all would be, if he no longer remembered his name was Elijah Mikaelson, that he was an Original vampire, that he had siblings named Niklaus, Rebekah and Kol.

Yet removing his memories did not remove his need for blood, did not remove who Elijah was.

As Marcel sees that Elijah finds him familiar, sees how the roses wilt and the water turns to blood when he unknowingly encounters his siblings, he realises that in compelling Elijah he had not removed the danger at all.


Any, hero/villain, I don’t care if Heaven won’t take me back (SPN, Gabriel/Rowena)

He knows Heaven won’t take him back, no matter how short they are of angels, not with his history of faking his death, his cowardice, of being a Trickster. And especially not once they heard the story of him and the porn stars.

But here in this moment, in the bunker with Rowena, Gabriel’s good with that, thinking he’s happy where he is, with her.


Any, any, darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream (TVD, Katherine)

She watches the look on both Stefan and Damon's faces as they see her approaching.

Once upon a time, that expression had really been intended for her; now as they watch her, they think she's the saintly Elena Gilbert, the pathetic vapid little doppelganger who has taken her place in both their hearts.

In time she'll reveal her true self to them, but Katherine is determined to have her fun first.


Any, any, off the path and into the woods (OUAT, Henry and Hansel)

The old story of Hansel and Gretel always told of how they wandered off the path and into the woods, leading them to the house of sweets.

As Henry Mills watches his old friend Jack, who he now knows to be Hansel, being taken away by Rogers, he wonders at what point in his life he had wandered from the path and down the road that led him to become the Hyperion Heights serial killer.

If Jack had felt able to confide in Henry about his past, would there have been anything Henry could have done to save him?

Riverdale. Archie/Jughead. Finally together

They'd laughed it off that weekend away with the girls, when it was pointed out that Archie and Jughead were the only combination out of the four who had never kissed. But when Jughead's mother had made the assumption that they were together, both of them started wondering if maybe she was on to something.

They wonder now how it took them so long to realise that they were meant to be.

Any, any, invisible kittens (Legends of Tomorrow, Zari, Charlie, Constantine)

"And just how, exactly, could things have been worse, Constantine?"

"You could have been an invisible cat, with Charlie not even realising you were on the ship, and then what might have happened?"

Charlie laughed at Zari and Constantine as she said "I'm glad it didn't happen that way, Zari, you're too cute to be invisible."

Any, any, I hold with those who favour fire (The Hunger Games, Plutarch, Katniss)

They call her the Girl on Fire, and Plutarch had seen that in her ever since she managed to knock him flying at her first Games.

He watches her now, and knows she is the right person to be the figurehead for the rebellion.

Everyone must play their part; yet Plutarch knows that if they are to have any chance of success, all hope lies with the Girl on Fire.

For lizzie_marie_23, any, any, If you call your dad you can stop it all (Arrow, Thea)

When Thea first found out that Malcolm Merlyn was her real father, all she wanted to do was call Robert Queen, hear him tell her that it wasn't true, he was her father after all.

Yet when Slade Wilson's goons set upon her at the station, Malcolm was the one able to get her out of that. He could train her, show her how to defend herself, he could help stop that happening again.


For lizzie_marie_23, any, any, "It also runs on loyalty to one man, and no one can replace it -- or him." (LOT, Gideon and Rip - yeah, I'm weird)

It had taken time for Gideon to respond to Sara's command; the ship had been Rip's, and Gideon was initially reluctant to embrace a new captain.

Yet Gideon now accepted her command, and all ran smoothly for a while.

Until Rip returned to the Waverider, under the influence of the Legends of Doom, and even knowing Sara, as captain, would have given contradictory orders, and the team accepted Sara better as their leader, Gideon was powerless to resist Rip's overrides.


For ama_ranth_827, Any, Any, I told you how I felt already and you made it quite clear you didn’t feel the same. (Riverdale, Archie)

Part of Archie wants to hang up on Veronica when she's calling him, drunk, saying she misses him and she was upset when she'd seen him with Betty earlier, she wants to go back to how things were before.

"We can't go back, Veronica," Archie begins, "because I told you I loved you, you didn't feel the same, I don't know how we can go back from that."

He knows Betty's moved on from the time when she declared her feelings for him at the start of the school year, but she'd been brave enough to say it at the time, and maybe that's what he needs.


For ama_ranth_827, Teen Wolf, Isaac Lahey, Lockerroom.

After a swimming class when Coach Lahey had been particularly hard on them all, Jackson had asked Isaac how he put up with his father at home, and for one moment he wonders what it would be like to finally confide in someone, to tell these guys what his homelife is really like.

But then Matt catches his eye across the room, and he remembers how their friendship had ended and how he'd eventually become convinced his father had a hand in that.

Isaac should have spoken out about his father back then, now he looks at Matt and realises it is too late for them.


Anonymous, Any, any, someone knows my name (Gotham, Butch)

Butch didn't understand what had been going on around him; why did everyone around him call him Solomon Grundy? That was a shit poem for kids, everyone knew it, it was nothing to do with him.

But Tabitha Galavan had called him by his name, Butch; she had broken through that Grundy crap, she'd never given up on him, and thanks to her, Butch Gilzean was back.


Anonymous, any, any, moon spiral (Bitten, Elena)

Before she became a werewolf, Elena Michaels had always believed the myth that werewolves only shifted on the full moon.

Now she knows that this is not the case, that it can happen at other times.

She has more control over it now, but when she was first turned, she felt like her life was one long moon spiral.



For bm_shipper, Arrow, Curtis/Rene, unresolved sexual tension

It's not the time to tell Curtis how he feels, not when he's all broken up about the fact that he's just got divorced and his having to put a face on it for Oliver and Felicity's wedding.

But Rene hopes that one day the right moment to make his move will arrive. After all, he's not been seeing anyone else (Dom Perignon doesn't count), so who knows, maybe it will work out.


For bm_shipper, The Flash/Supergirl, Winn/Cisco, "Was it how you imagined it?"

"So, is Earth 1 how you imagined it?" Cisco asked Winn after he's given him the tour of Star Labs, introduced him to those of Cisco's friends he hasn't met, taken him to Jitters and even introduced him to his family.

In all honesty, it doesn't seem very different from Winn's own universe. But being with Cisco, meeting him in the flesh at last after months of chatting...that's exactly how he imagined it.


For sandrine, The Flash, Iris/Snart (/Barry), Snart's nightmares keeps her (them) awake

Snart shouts out names in his sleep sometimes; his father's, Eobard Thawne, Damien Darhk.

Iris is there when he wakes up, to tell him it's all just a bad dream, none of those people are coming back for him.

One day, he'll finally believe her, stop having the nightmares, and the only name he screams out in bed will be hers.


For dreams_of_spike, Supernatural, Sam/Lucifer - Sam's imagined what he'd do if this day ever came: Lucifer weak and practically human and delivered right into his hands...

It's hard for Sam right now to see this man in front of him as Lucifer, who had haunted his nightmares for so long. This creature, rejected by his son, deprived of his powers...the woman who'd compared him to her ex-husband in the street was right: he wasn't Lucifer.

It would be so easy for Sam to kill him right now; weakened, powerless, this was exactly what he had hoped for, but now Sam wonders if leaving him like this is a better revenge.


For ama_ranth_827, Shadowhunters, Jace Wayland, "Maybe we should just kiss to break the tension."

It seemed crazy: this was Alec, after all, his best friend, his parabatai, they had been raised as brothers.

Yet even though they both wanted this to happen, suddenly there was this tension that had never existed between them.

"Come here, Alec, let's just do it," Jace said, pulling him close for a kiss, and the ice was broken.


For dreamsofspike, The Vampire Diaries - Damon/Elena - she chains him up to have her way with him

Considering that the last time he'd been in chains, they'd been soaked in vervain, chains wouldn't have been Damon's first choice for something he and Elena could do together.

But he's got her back now, and she's happy, and besides, he's now human so vervain wouldn't affect him that way anyway. So what the hell, let her put the restraints on, it'll take away those memories and make some fun new ones.


For eternal_moonie, Riverdale, Veronica/Sheriff Keller/Archie, something about the time Veronica witnessed Sheriff Keller's Daddyliscious body she thought about a shirtless competiton with her beau Archie.

She's sure Kevin thought something was up that time he walked in when she'd caught his father working out. And she's never going to tell him that yes, she had been admiring his father's body, had found herself comparing him to Archie.

And she realised that if she was thinking of the two in that way, maybe she wasn't ready to say she loved Archie.
