Summary
She was the sweet little stool pigeon who fell in love with the mob’s fall guy.
To the victim go the spoils.
Rey was damaged goods, kicked around by the gang and used according to its whims. No one took her seriously, and her life story read like one long cruel joke. She was brunette dynamite, so they gave her the job of warming up Ben Solo, the master thief who just spent twelve years cooling his heels in The Prism.
The girl was too young, but old enough to have a scavenger’s-eye view of her own bleak future. The boys were paying her to do a snow job on a candyleg, but she was beginning to love her work and love Solo, and she decided to stick with him till death did them part...

Set during/after Riverdale 1x13.
Cheryl Blossom has had enough with grieving, so she makes the fateful journey to Sweetwater River, hopeful that she'll be reunited with her brother at long last. However, the universe has other plans, and so our heroine awakes in the Riverdale of long past, a life from another time. The year is 1954 - poodle skirts, saddle shoes, switchblades, and leather jackets set the stage for a whirlwind romance of epic proportions. Toni Topaz and Jughead Jones are the undisputed leaders of the Southside Serpents, and Cheryl Blossom finds herself in the middle of a turf war between the North and South siders. How will her memories and savvy from the modern world save her and her friends while she's trying to navigate the battlefield of her own, potent love story?
Cheryl Blossom/Toni Topaz are the main couple of this story, all others are implied and explored briefly. The premise is loosely based on "Pleasantville".

Summary
“You see that Chevy at the end of the line?” He pointed to a dark blue ’55 with whitewalls and fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview mirror. It was in mint condition and so polished that it gleamed under the streetlights.
“Yeah…” I said, giving him the sideways eye.
“I could get fifteen hundred bucks for that, easy.”
I gaped at him dumbfounded. “Shit. So, this is your plan?”
“Four cars a night – that’s six grand to split.”
“You wanna take four cars a night? Ace, that’s crazy! Taking any is crazy.”
Ace looked at me with a determined glint in his eyes. “Not if you know what you’re doing.”Car-boosting, drag races, good old-fashioned fistfights and more. Ace ain't no sappy romantic in this one. He's cunning, calculating, daring, intelligent and always in control. He has big dreams and the balls and determination to make them a reality.
AcexOC... or will it be? Crime/Drama/Action. Warnings: Offensive language, drug references, Vince's smelly feet.

Summary
Bel is distressed, and Lix distracts her.
"Distraction arises from an excellent quality of the understanding, which allows the ideas to strike against, or reawaken one another. It is the opposite of that stupor of attention, which merely rests on, or recycles, the same idea." -- Diderot, Encyclopédie
