    Summary

    “Letting go of a breath, Jughead settles back more comfortably against the couch just in time for Veronica nudge his knees apart and crowd between his legs. With two fingers beneath his chin, she tips his head so he’s looking up at her. Soft lamplight catches across the curves of her face; her lipstick’s smudged off the corner of her mouth and her mascara’s left little flecks beneath her eyes. She’s always beautiful, but he likes her best like this, real and imperfect, rather than painted and pearled like she used to be when she still thought she had something to prove, strutting through the halls of Riverdale High.

    ‘I’m doing your makeup,’ she says, like the fact that he’ll let her is a foregone conclusion.

    It probably is.”

    Summary

    The beat of the chest compressions bangs in his head like a sledgehammer. Hands clenched together, arms aching, he pumps against Carter’s heart. Seconds tick by. How long has it been? He feels something give way, under his hands. On the next compression, a distinctive crack sounds through the room. Peter doesn’t let up. Broken ribs are nothing, now. An afterthought. He keeps going, staring fiercely at the heart monitor. Straight line. He keeps going. Carter’s chest inflates up and down with artificial breaths. He pumps against it. Again and again and again.

    “Don’t be an asshole, Carter,” Peter snarls. Or pants. He can feel heavy beads of sweat gathering on his forehead. He pays them no mind. “Don’t you dare die.”

    OR: A freak accident during a trauma sends Carter into sudden cardiac arrest.

    Set in S3.

    Summary

    B is for Blood Loss

    ***

    What's frightening is how little the impact phases Mark. He swerves his van into the next lane, and BUMP: somebody is stumbling backwards, propelled by the force, all floppy hair and gangly limbs. The stranger looks up through the windscreen, and it isn't a stranger at all. It's Carter. 

    OR

    An AU of S4 E2 where Carter actually does get hit by Mark's van.
