《Riverdale Imagines!》Fangs Fogarty: Sorrow
Advertisement
!Trigger warning! Sad, mentions of death
You sat in the Wyrm, watching as everyone prepared for the battle between the serpents and the ghoulies. No matter how much you argued, they didn't want you in the hospital with Fangs so you stayed at the Wyrm. Jughead and Sweet Pea started yelling at each other, no one stepping in to stop them.
Jughead was against the battle and Pea was for it, not that you were surprised. "ENOUGH!" Fp shouted, causing you to jump. Everyone gathered around him, wanting to hear how Fangs was doing. "Fangs didn't make it."
Your breath hitched as you collapsed to the ground. No one noticed you in the back of the bar except for Jughead. As the serpents held up their hands, Jughead and yourself were the only ones who didn't. The two Jones' went home as serpents kept preparing for the battle.
Toni noticed you in the corner and slowly made her way over to you. Sobs racked your body as she held you close. "Why was it him Toni? Why couldn't have been one of those damn northsiders?" You shouted as people turned to you.
More tears streamed down your face as she told you to let it out. Your hands slammed into the wall, making a fist-sized hole in it. Sweet Pea walked over and pulled you away from the wall, letting you hit his chest as he tried to calm you down.
Your punches got weaker as your energy drained, not noticing the tears streaming down Sweet Pea and Toni's faces.
Toni's phone started to go off, everyone waiting to hear what was going on. "Jughead sacrificed himself to the Ghoulies, we have to go!" She shouted as she ran to the door. You followed Pea and got on the back of his bike.
Once you guys go to where Penny was, you all started to look for the boy. Fp already gone and in the woods.

As he emerged from the woods, he had a bloody and unconscious Jughead in his arms. More tears streamed down your face as you clung onto Sweet Pea. Cheryl and Toni held each other as Fp rushed to get Jughead to the hospital.
The next couple days went by in a blur as you got ready for the burial. You didn't even bother with makeup because you knew you were gonna cry. "Are you ready?" Sweet Pea asked in the softest voice you had ever heard from him.
You nodded and walked with him to his bike. Every serpent was filled with sorrow as you all rode to the graveyard. After you buried the fallen serpent, everyone was going to do a last ride in his honor.
"Fangs Fogarty was a friend, brother, and lover but most of all he was a serpent. He will always be remembered as a brave soul who was willing to die for any of us. For some final words, we have two of his closest confidants."
Sweet Pea helped you walk up to the front of the group. You scanned over the group and saw a group of Bulldogs in the back. A scowl fell across Sweet Pea's face as he saw them but it fell when he saw how guilty they all were.
"Fangs was my best friend, he would've given his life for any of us. Even with his killer caught, I will not stop until his death is avenged. I will never forget him," as Sweet Pea continued with his sentence, his voice started to break and tears streamed down his face.
No one had ever seen the boy break down, you being the only person to comfort him. "I guess it's my turn to say something," you said as you twiddled with your hands and looked at the casket as tears formed in your eyes.
"Fangs was the best man I knew and I loved him with my whole heart. To the northsiders that are listening, forgive and forget. There is nothing we can do now to bring him or Midge back. He never intended to hurt anyone, he was just a confused teenage boy. The look on his face when we were about to leave that sheriff's station was one of a confused and scared boy. That's not how I want him to be remembered.

I want him to be remembered as the goofy and kind man he was. How he was willing to fight anyone that dare hurt me or Toni and how him and Sweet Pea would sneak all of us out of class so we could go to the quarry and have fun. I want him to be remembered as the man who gave his all in our relationship and would have been an amazing fathe-"
Before you could get the word out, you broke down in front of the group. Sweet Pea pulled you to him as Toni walked up to the two of you. Serpents hung their heads low as some cried for the boy. The service continued and you didn't leave Toni's and Sweet Pea's side the entire time.
You kept a hand on your stomach, Sweet Pea on guard the entire time whenever a Bulldog tried to come near you.
As you went to walk away from the casket, the Bulldogs walked up to you. Sweet Pea stepping in front of you as Toni pulled you close. "What do you want, mutts?" Sweet Pea spat, his voice full of anger and hatred.
"We wanted to apologize," Moose said as he looked at you with a sorrowful glance. Pea growled as he stepped closer to the group. "Sweet Pea, it's okay," you whispered as you placed a hand on his arm. He looked back at you and his face softened as you gave him a slight smile.
"There's nothing you guys could have done to prevent this, but stay away from me forever. Especially you, Reggie."
You walked away from the group of Bulldogs, Sweet Pea giving you Fangs helmet as you got back to the bikes. You slipped it on with ease and got on the back of the bike. More tears threatened to spill as the smell of him filled your nose, but you refused to cry.
He wouldn't want you to cry forever. That's the only thing that kept you from losing your shit as all the serpents drove down the road and through town, everyone on the streets watching.
After a week of mourning and making sure Jughead was okay, it was time for a serpent meeting. "We had these in the making for a while," Fp said as he held the jackets in his hands. "Congratulations Sweet Pea," he said as he handed the boy one of the leather jackets. Fp handed you the other with a solemn look, you smiling as you put it on in honor of your boyfriend.
Toni was next as she took the jacket from Fp with a wide smile, Cheryl in the crowd cheering her on as her own jacket was placed on her shoulders. People cheered and celebrated as the three of you proudly wore the jackets.
The growing bump on your belly started to move around, making you smile as your hand instinctively placed itself on your stomach. "Pea, he's kicking," as those words left your mouth, Sweet Pea dropped the pool queue in his hand and placed his hand where yours was.
Tears formed in his eyes as he looked at you. "Fangs would be so proud of you," he whispered as he pulled you in for a hug. You placed your hand back on your stomach and smiled, letting Pea's words sink in. I really hope he's proud, I really hope.

School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
