    Summary

    “We need to go, okay? You can do it. Let’s go.”

    “I can’t,” he responds numbly as she encourages his legs to take step after limping step. “I’m dying.”

    “No, Ben. You’re not.” It sounds more like she’s denying him some opportunity than reassuring him, like she won’t let him die, like her outright refusal can stop the inevitable. 

    To her credit, it seems to be working.
    ---
    Ben Solo survives Exegol and flees with Rey. Surviving hadn't been part of the plan - but, then again, there hadn't been much of a 'plan' to begin with. What awaits him, then, once the dust of battle has settled, on the other side of the war?

    Summary

    Tashi not saying she loves him back has always been something that’s lingered in the air between them, but they’ve never really spoken about it. True to his word, Art has never made it an issue, but even so, part of her has felt guilty for not saying it. But how could she? She’s thought about it for years–even wanted to say it. But every time she’s tried to, it just hasn’t come out, and so she’s let it rest. The one thing she’s truly ever loved was something she never hesitated to talk about. She’d told anyone and everyone who would listen how much she loved tennis, and then when that had been so tragically taken away from her, how could she possibly think of saying she loved anything else? Tashi tells Lily she loves her, but that’s her daughter. Art? That’s different, and the thought of trying to tell him so makes her heart race and her stomach churn.

    Or: Four times that Art has told Tashi he loves her, and she hasn't said it back. Until now.

    Summary

    Clarke desperately needs to get away. Mainly to finish her series of paintings, but also to nurse the sting of a still aching break up. It’s not easy having a soulmark and dating someone without one, so needless to say it’s an ugly breakup and she just wants to get over it. When Octavia offers her family’s small cabin to her for the week, Clarke immediately jumps on it.

    Too bad Octavia forgot to run it by her older brother––who is also hiding out there to get his own work done after a bad breakup.

    But maybe fate has a hand in things more than either of them are prepared to accept.

    Summary

    Sunlight catches on the gold of her hair, making it almost glow—she really is beautiful. Like an angel. An angel Bellamy intends to pull from heaven right down into the murky depths of hell. And she’s going to enjoy the whole thing.

    -- or, Clarke is the good little preacher’s daughter, and Bellamy is the bad boy who makes a bet to corrupt her.

    Summary

    "it always leads to you and my hometown."

    Clarke has a bad habit of going home for the holidays and spending the whole time in Bellamy's bed. But this year she's determined to focus on time with her dad while he's sick. And she can probably manage to be just friends with Bellamy for one Christmas, right?

    Bellamy isn't going to fall for Clarke again this year. Absolutely not. Friends only. Clarke is never going to stay in Arkadia just to be with him and after 10 years he has to move on.

    But something feels different about this Christmas for both of them and Clarke and Bellamy are both finding that the road not taken is looking real good now...

    Summary

    It feels as if his heart stopped beating five minutes ago. No matter how hard he tries to brace himself for the goodbye, the may we meet again he knows he would rather die with her here than live in a universe where she is nothing but a burning memory at the back of his mind.

    He can’t fucking lose her. Especially not like this.

    Summary

    Now, they each watch Bellamy, his hands sweeping wide, the orange flames flickering against his brown skin, a flash of his teeth in the dark. He is beautiful. So beautiful and alive and good that she aches with it.

    You don’t deserve him, the harsh voice in her head snarls.

    She is too soaked in Grounder blood, too haunted by Mount Weather’s ghosts, for Bellamy. Clarke knows all of this, but it can’t stop her from loving him anyway.

     

    ...
    For the 2021 Kink Meme: Post-season 2 canon divergence. Clarke pines, Bellamy is jealous, and the sexual tension almost gets them killed.

    Summary

    “It’s not my problem you’re so busy flirting with anything with a pulse, you forgot how to be a good bartender,” Clarke snapped back and he scoffed. She stepped closer, “Oh I’m sorry, did I hit a nerve? Do you not flirt with every girl who comes in here?”

     

    He chuckled humourlessly and slammed her drink down on the bar, “All except you, Princess.”

     

    After Bellamy left the military, all he wanted was a quiet life, working in his best friend's bar and hanging out with 'the delinquents'. Then one day, Jasper brings in a new addition - Clarke - who he's apparently known since college, and Bellamy immediately dislikes her. After a while, however, they realise that they may have more in common than they thought, and what they know about each other is about to put them in danger.

    There are forces out there that want Clarke Griffin and Bellamy Blake as far away from each other as possible, and they'll stop at nothing to make that happen.

    Summary

    Clarke Griffin has lost almost everyone she’s ever loved. Now, she knows if she doesn’t want to lose anyone else, she can’t love anyone else. She’s sealed off that part of herself, spending her days and nights as a dedicated chef in the kitchen of Mistral, a glamorous restaurant in Chicago. Hoping that if she keeps her head down, nothing else will ever hurt her. Nothing, until a tall, freckled, dark-haired stranger arrives in her kitchen – and threatens to ruin everything.

    Summary

    Most people who divorce do so for a good reason. At least, that's how it's supposed to be.

    Bellamy and Clarke married young and impulsively, caught up in their whirlwind romance. Now, almost a decade later, they run into one another again. Bellamy has become successful and wealthy - something he never was when he was with Clarke. So why is it that he can't stop aching for a life he left behind so long ago? A time where he had nothing but a blonde girl and an old wedding ring to his name.

    Clarke is engaged now and Bellamy has moved on too, but after their reunion, it becomes very apparent that nothing can stop true love from interfering.

    Summary

    Despite his five year sobriety, Bellamy spends most of his time at bar. He doesn't mean to stumble across Clarke, nor does he intend to become her sober companion and sponsor. But he does, and he's intent on helping her through her alcohol addiction. However, in him helping her, he does not except her to heal him.

    Or, Bellamy becomes Clarke's sober companion/sponsor. He's not exactly sure what the rules are, but he's pretty sure he's not supposed to fall in love with her.

    Summary

    The surviving delinquents are sitting around the dropship, knees pulled to their chests, heads buried between their knees. Clarke can’t blame them for looking so weary, really. They’re too young to have just fought a battle, too young to know war so personally, too young to live with the fact that they just finished incinerating hundreds of grounders, hundreds of people.

    Death is everywhere on the ground; it’s unavoidable. It’s remarkable that so many of them had survived for this long.

    Summary

    Her hands were flat against his chest. "Isn't this what people do?" she asked with a fragility he had never heard escape her before.

    Bellamy hesitated, let himself hold his breath. "Yeah," he said on his exhale, careful not to disturb the night air. "Yeah, it's what people do." If she heard the sadness in his voice, she didn't question it.

    And when she kissed him again, this time with all of her anguish, his chest hurt. But he couldn't deny her anything. And after all, he wasn't that guy.

    Summary

    Bellamy was self aware enough to know what he could and what he couldn’t have. He could have her trust him and lean on him and depend on him, but he couldn’t have all of her - all the parts he craved. The parts he dreamed about at night. It wasn’t all depraved sexual fantasy encounters - he wanted to kiss her mouth, chaste and easy before he left for a hunt or before she went to work in Medical. He wanted to fall asleep wrapped around her small frame. He wanted to wake up to her sleepy smile and soft curves.

    He just wanted Clarke to let him love her
