Summary
It’s Friday, December 1st, 2006, the first time.
She’s there when Dani arrives at the café — and there she remains when Dani exits after her pre-work Full English, sitting next to the entrance with her head down, knees drawn up to her chest and a bottle of Stella Artois in one hand at the grand hour of nine o’clock in the morning. The day-drinking isn’t the only thing that catches Dani’s eye; the total lack of appropriate clothing for the middle of Great British winter more so gives her pause. She can’t imagine a single Blondie t-shirt with an open flannel button-up and denim cut-off shorts is a terribly comfortable outfit in one-degree-Celsius weather.
So, Dani speaks up.
(Or: the one where Jamie’s just got out of prison and Dani’s too kind for her own good.)

Summary
Five months after breaking Lexa's heart, getting her back is Clarke's first priority. She doesn't care about destroying herself in the process.
(TW: Toxic Relationship Dynamics in the first part of the sequel. It's unhealthy and might be triggering for those who've experienced toxic/emotionally abusive relationships and/or have been cheated on. Could be used as a cathartic experience - it certainly has been one to write it - but beware of possible negative impact.)

Summary
It’s been six years since she walked out on Lexa, knowing she had broken her heart, knowing she would cry and mull over the words she had said, words that were too hard, words she didn’t have the right to say, words Lexa didn’t deserve to hear. It’s been six entire years and Clarke had never expected Lexa to wait for her, but something inside of her coils tightly when she thinks that she might never be able to make Lexa understand how much she changed her life, willingly or not, knowingly or not.
She owes it to herself to knock on Lexa's door and wait and pray she will let her get the words out before all hell breaks loose, before she kicks and screams and punches Clarke like she’s pretty sure Lexa wants to - if she were Lexa she’d want her head on a stick.
Gritting her teeth so hard she’s half afraid of grinding them to dust, Clarke raises her fist and knocks on the door.

Summary
You certainly come across intriguing personalities every so often when you tend bar. None quite so intriguing as the lone girl with cascading chestnut hair sitting at the end of the bar, drinking a whiskey neat and reading a book, however.
Except, wait, that's your new co-worker.
or
The College Bar AU in which Clarke is the Mom Friend bartender, Lexa is the new hire, and everyone is really just a hot damn mess. Shot of Jameson, anyone?

Summary
Clarke is only three days into being a runaway when she realizes that she did not fully think this through. When she walked away from Camp Jaha, she took only herself, a handgun with limited ammunition, and the gnawing guilt inside her. Three days without food, water, fresh clothing, or bedding of any kind, however, and she is painfully aware of how foolish that decision had been.
