Summary
“I need a man the way a fish needs a bicycle.”
Despite the girl’s poor looks, there was something in that independence, in the way she covered up all the times she was rejected, in the way she picked herself up and asked yet another boy who’d say no to the Unity Day Masquerade on the off chance he might say yes, that made Raven smile a bit more privately to herself.
She never learned the girl’s name. Eighteen years old and caught swiping an extra ration of food for her father for his birthday. She was floated. Turns out, fishes might not need bicycles, but a suit before they’re sucked out into zero-g wouldn’t hurt.

Or the one where Raven's not quite sure how to find what she needs, but Bellamy's willing to help her figure it out.

Summary
“Slytherin Princess.” He mouthed with an off-kilter smile that read more like a sneer.
Being a Slytherin meant being powerful, being ambitious, holding court. And that’s just what Clarke did with a smile just as serpentine as the rest.
“You want a Slytherin Princess?” She mouthed clearly at Bellamy half-way through the meal. “You have one.”
