Summary
Christmas, 2020: United States President Lexa Woods has recently been re-elected for her second term, has three Nobel Peace Prizes under her belt, and a 97% public approval rating. None of this, in any way, serves as preparation for the pretty girl her sister brings home to the White House for Christmas.

Summary
"...you really don't want to tell him that you can't take your eyes off the lead singer, that her raspy voice echoes in your bones and her adorable dimples make your knees wobble. You don't want to tell him because you're not ready to be with anyone. Not yet."
OR
The AU in which Lexa is a single-parent widow, Clarke is running from her past and together they’re terrible at taking things slow.

Summary
"Is there room for one more on this bench?" Clarke asks rhetorically and with a playful tone, as she slides in next to Lexa. She leans in to place a kiss on her cheek and her heart skips a beat as her favorite half smile breaks free from Lexa's lips.
OR
The sequel to Strangers On A Bench.
Lexa still doesn't speak but this time they're no longer strangers. These two are not done growing and that's what this story is about.
Also, I'm introducing new characters and they'll be added to the list in due time...

Summary
Lexa doesn't speak anymore and Clarke is emotionally numb. The first time they meet, they're strangers on a bench. Let's take it from there ;)
It's a story about losing important things and fighting to deal with it. It's a story about learning to live again.
It's an AU based entirely on my imagination.
I don't want to give too much away from the start, it's angsty at times but also really sweet. I don't know how to rate it. Let me know if I don't put up any warnings you might have needed.
It's my first fic and I hope you like it and want to come back for more chapters.
(it's all done, so you won't be stuck in a story that never ends)

Summary
'Before she had time to react, I shook my head, pressing my finger to her open mouth, "You're not in charge anymore." I could see the heavy desire in the green of her eyes as they widened. If she wasn't turned on before, she definitely was now.'
Lexa was by no means accustomed to being refused. As an austere club owner, she possessed not only a sickening amount of power, but an annoying aptitude for getting exactly what she wanted. Everybody knew it. Or, at least, almost everybody. When slightly naive Clarke Griffin stumbles into her club and declines an offer to get closer to the club-owner, Lexa makes it her personal mission to pull every thread of Clarke's self-control just to watch her unravel.
