Summary
During the long period of her recovery, Raven lost contact with most of her old friends—a polite way of saying that she pushed them away—and in an effort to be social, she starts frequenting the monster café.
Octavia Blake, the proprietor of the café, is not a monster of any sort herself. To an untrained eye, she might almost be mistaken for a vampire, but real creatures know better. She is a former Goth, perhaps, but undoubtedly human.

Summary
Raven is a beacon to him. Always has been, since they first met, since before they met, since he followed her progress as a shining flare of star-trail light across the clarity of the sky, toward the ordinary dirt. He looks at her and can't stop looking.
After the Mountain falls, Monty breaks with his clan and moves to Camp Jaha, where he makes a new home among the Sky People.

Summary
John Murphy didn't kill the girl himself, but he's the reason she's dead. Raven’s heard the story often enough: Arcadia’s only murder, only suicide, only banishment. So when she finds Murphy sitting outside the gate, coughing up fire, she doesn’t feel bad for him at all.

Summary
“Merry Christmas, by the way,” Clarke adds, which settles that.
“You too. Merry Christmas.” He takes down Bellamy’s NYU mug without thinking, tries to shake the feeling that he’s no more than an extra in Clarke’s amnesiac version of Groundhog’s Day. That this is, somehow, normal. That he is not wondering, the thought like an invasive little jingle in his ear, what she thinks yesterday was.
The day after Murphy, Clarke, Bellamy, and Raven return from disappointing family Christmases, Clarke wishes that they could have spent the holiday together instead. A fall down the stairs, a bout of amnesia—and suddenly it’s Christmas again. And again. And again. Reliving the day puts even Murphy into the holiday spirit, and helps him learn to open his heart to his friends, and to the possibility of love.

Summary
Long separation means little, once he’s walked through the door. Two years gone, slightly more, since they saw each other in person; still they fall easily into old, soft habits again. He knows himself well with her. Only Murphy’s absence remains a jagged pit between them, a pain that spikes sometimes as a physical hurt, other times as a foggy confusion, the sense of something not quite seen out of the corner of his eye.
Bellamy, Murphy, and Raven were best friends once. Then boundaries started to blur.
Now, three months after Murphy’s death, Bellamy comes to visit Raven, his widow, at her home in the mountains on the precipice of spring.
Written for the Chopped: Choose Your Own Adventure challenge.
Third place winner for use of theme (angst).

Summary
Her whole body is still tense, but this long habit of distrust has been formed in her, is not native to her, and his lazy, laconic air tempts her to put herself at ease. And she is curious. Behind them, the Detention Center is teeming, yet the desolation of the dim light and barren highway makes Harper feel as if they were the only two on the wide Earth.
Upon being released from the Arkadia Juvenile Detention Center, Harper takes a road trip to California with an old friend, his boyfriend, and another recently released delinquent.

Summary
Four-hundred-and-twenty-three days in the never-ending darkness of the uncharted universe, and Murphy’s starting to wonder if space madness really is setting in. At least he’s not as far-gone as Raven, hidden away in her laboratory, fiddling with alien tech; or Clarke, who is steering them steadfastly into the deep unknown of ‘haunted space.’
Something isn’t right here, even if Bellamy and Octavia don’t want to see it.
When their little ship receives a distress call from an old friend, the tensions between captain and crew finally come to a head, and Murphy faces more than one unpleasant truth.

Summary
Marcus Kane’s body shows up again six months after his disappearance, in the master bedroom of the Kane ranch house, holding a new will in one of its skeletal hands. Arkadia hasn’t seen this much excitement since his stepdaughter was investigated for his murder—the inquiry was dropped, of course, because the body was never found. Now the house, the land, the accounts, the bank stocks, and a previously unknown stockpile of cash in the backyard all belong to Clarke Griffin and her husband.
Funny how no one knew Clarke was married.
And now it looks like the bank won’t foreclose on the Blake Family ranch after all.

Summary
Echo remembers for only a second and then the scene snaps out again. She's left uncertain and dazed, blinking at the way the faded pavement seems to burn.
But before she forgets she hears quite plainly in her ear, above the ringing that doesn't cease and the buzzing of the telephone wires and the sizzling of the sun, the woman's name.
I'm Harper.

Summary
After midnight, the arc of the heavens across the ceiling scatters over with many-pointed stars, and Wells recites poetry for them. He’s draped himself across the plush, red velvet throne at the head of the room, while the others laze bonelessly over the pillows on the floor. Clarke stretches out, sleepy and soft. In her late-night daydreams, infused with Wells's deep voice and gentle art, she imagines that she and Raven tire of the game, and become careless: Clarke's head in Raven's lap, fingers tracing patterns on her hip. All the soft planes of her and the sharp and unexpected angles, too.
Or The 100 Greek God AU but make it modern.
