Verosie

Verosie is the femslash ship between Josie and Veronica from the Riverdale fandom.

Canon
Veronica and Josie are some of the more popular girls at Riverdale High and likely know of each other following Veronica's arrival, although they're not seen meeting. They are somewhat similar in their tenacity and occasional ruthlessness, but with very different backgrounds as Josie has always had to work hard and Veronica is a spoiled rich girl. Josie is very ambitious and driven to succeed in a career in music, partially due to the pressure of her parents, but eventually learning to balance relationships and letting people in while striving to achieve her dreams; Veronica starts out as the new kid who tries to be kind after her world is turned upside down by her father's incarceration, but eventually abandons that to indulge in criminal enterprises much like her father. Josie and the Pussycats are massively popular in Riverdale; Josie is basically the Queen Bee of the school, and Veronica sees them perform on multiple occasions, including the Pep Rally where she and the Vixens dance to the band performing.

Veronica attends the auditions for the school Variety Show, which Josie and the Pussycats are headlining. Archie's auditioning but can't start. Veronica asks what's happening and Josie, with some schadenfreude, informs her that he's choking. After Val and Josie's fight results in Val leaving The Pussycats, Josie's mother tells her to find a new member to replace Val, although Josie's not happy about it. Veronica, feeling spurned by Archie, is looking for revenge and decides to join the group. The girls do a strut down the halls of Riverdale, announcing their new constellation. At rehearsal, Veronica's distracted by her mother's romance with Fred Andrews and Josie stops the rehearsal and calls Veronica out on it. Josie sarcastically calls her a 'poor little rich girl', questioning that she could be stressed about anything and impresses upon Veronica how important the show is to her because of her father. Breaking, Veronica fires back that Josie may 'have Daddy issues' but that he's at least not in prison and that she hasn't seen her father for 3 months. Veronica then catches herself and states matter-of-factly that it doesn't matter and that the girls don't care. Josie sees that Veronica's in pain, approaches her and tells her that she's sorry about her father, which Veronica takes in and thanks her for. After a dinner of being horrendously belittled by her father and watching her parents fight, Josie meets up with Veronica at Pop's to vent. She tells Veronica about how she tries to please her father, except nothing seems to be acceptable to him with Josie's music. Josie asks Veronica about her family and Veronica admits what happened between her mom and Fred, that she just wants her family to be whole once her Dad is released and that she can't tell him what happened. Josie encourages Veronica to hear her mother out. At the talent show at school, Val and Josie make up and the girls perform together as a quartet singing the Donna Summer classic 'I Feel Love'. After learning that her mother forged her signature to help Veronica's wayward father, Veronica is heartbroken and feeling rebellious. To distract herself and simultaneously protest her mother's actions, Veronica decides she needs a night of partying and invites Josie, Reggie and Kevin to join her. Josie and Veronica dance at the club together and have a great time. As they sit in a booth, Veronica learns that the club won't accept her credit card as her mother has apparently frozen it as a counterstrike. Josie asks what's going on and Veronica tells the group what happened. For the town's 75th Anniversary Jubilee, Veronica is once again invited to join the Pussycats as they perform. Josie and Veronica don't really spend time just the two of them, but see each other at various events, such as helping Pop when his diner is suffering loses following the shooting, and when Josie joins the Vixens by invitation from Cheryl. Veronica invites a friend of hers from New York to see the Pussycats perform and he invites them all to come to a party at the hotel where he is staying. At the party, both Veronica and Josie indulge in jingle jangle and get high as they party. The next day, the Pussycats, along with Veronica, perform at Veronica's parents' SoDale Gala Opening. During their performance, they see that Veronica's friend, who revealed himself to be a predator, leads Cheryl away. Josie and Veronica, along with Val and Melody, run after them and save a drugged Cheryl from harm, beating up Nick. Afterwards, Josie and Veronica both comfort Cheryl. Following this, the parents learn what happened at the party and they collectively scold the kids for doing drugs and sentence them to community service. They pick up trash in Pickens Park and Veronica asks Josie, who's flirting with Reggie, if she can steal him for a second, at which Josie fronts she is more than happy for her to do so.

Fanon
A rarepair in the fandom, as Veronica's more popular femslash pairings are with Betty and Cheryl, the lack of screentime for their relationship and Josie in general, as well as their feud in the 2nd season. In Season 3 they both dated each other's exes, although it didn't create any tension.
