West Side Story (2021)

busted and blue

by mercutibro

He wonders why Bernardo wants to meet, and then wonders why he’s even going to meet Bernardo in the first place. He keeps on wondering this, as if he doesn’t know deep down that he’d do just about anything if Bernardo were to ask him to. It had been one long, bitter year, and yet Riff was just as wrapped around Bernardo’s little finger as he always had been. Bernardo makes him reckless. Bernardo makes him foolish.

what, like we're something?

by lastdyingday

They had been nine and Tony had declared to Riff that he was in love with this girl and would be forever. This declaration became a familiar one to Riff in the years that followed, and now he’s not sure how many times he’s heard it. And sure, he’s told Riff that they’ll be together forever too. Womb to tomb. He says it all the time, and Riff believes him. He does. But it’s not the same. He doesn’t mean it like Riff means it. There’s this way Tony looks at the girls he’s in love with and he’s never looked at Riff like that. But tonight… on Tony’s birthday… Bernardo gave him a look that was pretty close. And fuck it all, Riff just wants someone to want him and it ain’t gonna be Tony anyway.

Happy

by jazzitup

Up and coming punk rock band The Jets are finally back in New York for the closing show of their first national tour and yeah, maybe Riff is technically homeless, maybe he's in love with his best friend, maybe The Sharks that he used to idolize as a kid are now in a very public feud with them, but Riff's used to curve balls.Or at least he thinks he is, before everything falls apart.
