    Summary

    It’s a strange feeling, uncomfortable even. To know that your daughter is happy — and to hate everything that the person who makes her happy represents, to trust them so little you would rather hurt your daughter now by removing them from her life than see her hurt a lot more later when they inevitably break her heart. So Abby feels her heart expand at every smile that blooms in Clarke’s lips — only to feel it constrict painfully every time she remembers who triggers it.

    --

    Pike has been defeated and the Coalition is at peace once more. Abby finds out about Clarke and Lexa's relationship sooner than they wanted to come out with it.

    Summary

    "'Please?'

    'I said no, Clarke.'

    The conversation, if you could really call it that, had been going like this for the past twenty minutes, Clarke having ambushed Lexa before she even had a chance to set down her heavy trial briefcase.

    Clarke narrowly refrains from stomping her foot on the ground like a petulant child. She is a doctor, damnit. Doctors were mature. They were professional. They didn’t throw tantrums and they didn’t stomp their feet when things didn’t go their way. She’s pretty sure she even remembers repeating a line in the hippocratic oath about all of that. Maybe. If not, there there probably should be."

    Or: Clarke asks Lexa a favour and it ends up being a favour for both of them really.

    Summary

    Lexa’s eyes flicker to the bloody hands in her lap and then up to her face, meeting her steely gaze.

    “I will summon a healer to look at your hands and any other injuries you may have.” She takes a step back, as if to leave but Clarke cuts her off.

    “Don’t.” Eyes snap back to hers. “Don’t pretend that you care.” It’s scathing, raw like the grazes tracing her knuckles. She feels the fury reawakening, creeping along the edge of her mind, flickering, baiting.

    Waiting.

    Summary

    Lexa needs her.

    Clarke remembers the words, the way she said them, lips curling around each syllable, articulate, imploring. A stone wall, the cracks grown with moss and creeping vines, hints of the life beneath, hints that somewhere, beneath the Commander, beneath Heda , a human being still struggled for air, choking every moment on her self-induced solitude.
