Fanghead

"Serpents' got your back. I got your back"

- Jug to Fangs

Fanghead is the slash ship between Jughead Jones and Fangs Fogarty from the Riverdale fandom.

Canon
Jughead and Fangs meet when Jughead starts school at Southside High. They don't spend a lot of time together at first, with Jughead going toe-to-toe with Fangs' friend Sweet Pea a lot and Jughead finds it crazy that Fangs wants to participate in making a pipe bomb to retaliate against the Northside. Their relationship changes when Jughead joins the Southside Serpents and gains an affinity for the camaraderie and support he finds on the Southside. When Southside High is shut down and the students are transferred to Riverdale High, Fangs is the only one aside from Jughead who refuses to follow the dress code, and he cuts class instead. Once Jughead changes his mind and sets up the Swords & Serpents 'after school gaming club' as a safe haven for the Serpents at Riverdale High, he convinces Fangs to return to school. Fangs (along with Sweet Pea) stands by Jughead when he wants to drive Penny Peabody out of Riverdale and in confrontations with Tall Boy, who turns out be a traitor.
