Formione

Formione is the het ship between Hermione Lodge and FP Jones from the Riverdale fandom.

Canon
Hermione and FP were in the same school since kindergarten and went to Riverdale High together; Hermione was the quiet, studious good Catholic girl with aspirations of wealth and FP was a jock, the Big Man On Campus with a wretched home life on the 'wrong side of the tracks'. They never really interacted as they were in different circles, until their junior year, when they happen to serve detention together. Realising they don't know each other, Sierra suggests all the delinquents in detention play a game of 'Secrets & Sins'. They all sit in a circle and share about their lives; Hermione mentions Hiram and infers that she wants money as her family is poor, with her mother cleaning bathrooms for a living, and that her mother has values and doesn't approve of Hiram. FP shares that his father beats him, after Alice reveals to everyone that FP isn't a Northsider like he claims. Hermione gets into a physical fight with Penelope which gets them 3 more detentions. Slowly, the group become friends and one detention, Hermione breaks into a desk drawer of confiscated items to retrieve her Game Lad™ and they find the manual of a game called Gryphons & Gargoyles. Penelope Blossom becomes their game master and asks them to pick their roles; Hermione picks Thief and FP, Deadeye.

They become immersed in the game and at one point, FP makes a move that advances the game which causes Hermione to commend him and they high five. Hermione asks if they can play another game and Penelope suggests they take it off-board; she starts a quest entitled "The Wedding Stone" that requires the players to pair off and decides to stoke the fire by pairing off Hermione and FP. They search the student lounge and Hermione makes a crack in reference to the romance of the quest. FP spots a gargoyle statue and finds the gemstone hidden in the vending machine. Together they shake the machine until the gem drops into the drawer. FP picks it up while Hermione claps her hands and jumps, jubilant at having found it her eyes fixated on the expensive loot. FP gently lowers it Hermione's eager hands. While she admires the gem, he looks at her intensely and moves closer, about to kiss her. Hermione notices and looks up at him, then pushes him away. When she calls FP out, he denies that he was going to kiss her and Hermione bluntly says they're just playing a game and that she's not into him, at which FP looks small and hurt. Hermione then attempts to play matchmaker for FP and Alice, knowing that Alice is pregnant and that FP doesn't know, although Hermione doesn't tell him that. After Featherhead is found dead while they're all high on Fizzle Rocks™, the group disbands completely.

Years later, in 2017, Hermione moves from New York back to Riverdale after her husband, Hiram Lodge, has been imprisoned for illegalities. FP is the leader of the local biker gang, the Southside Serpents, still living on the Southside and seems to not be doing well financially, as well as having trouble with alcoholism. Hermione takes a job at Pop's and Cheryl sees Hermione and FP having a heated conversation behind Pop's one night. Cheryl tells Veronica, who confronts her mother and Hermione says she was just talking to someone she knew in high school. Meanwhile, Hermione seems to be doing shady dealings, buying off Mayor McCoy with a bag full of money to get the Twilight Drive-In land for Lodge Industries.

Fanon
is a rare pair in the fandom overall. Although they're common in the parentdale section of the fandom as they interacted quite a bit in Season 1 and had a lot of tension and secretive behaviour, as well as the chemistry between the actors. The ship's popularity is sometimes tied to Jeronica, as that ship's actors portray Formione as teens. The ship became more popular after the Season 3 episode dedicated to the parents showed a flirtation between Hermione and FP. The ship currently has 21 works in AO3.
