Summary

Summary
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Emily Dickinson's house, where a bought a book of letters she wrote to Susan. Between the book and Vita and Virginia, my mind is filled with the enchanting letters exchanged by women in the 18th/early 19th centuries, and that was fertile ground for this odd little fic to be born.
The structure is a bit different. Each chapter will be a letter from either Clarke or Lexa, with occasional comments from our Heteronormitavely Blinded Historian™. So chapters will be short and provide little snippets into their lives, rather than the full story. I hope that you, like me, will enjoy letting your mind wander where it will. Not really sure where this journey will take us but pretty stoked to experiment with this kind of writing. I hope a few of you enjoy it too.
Shoutout to the lovely @anddante for letting me ramble about my convoluted ideas.
Disclaimer: I've included some dates to provide an idea of the timeline, but this is set in a purely imaginary world with its own towns, politics, and wars. I have made no attempt to reconcile them with actual historical events. I am going for the style and general feel this era had to it, not historical accuracy.

Summary
Just a random scene (or perhaps eventually two or three) from the Suffrage universe. They might not make much sense if you haven't read Suffrage first.

Summary
The 20th century has just begun. London is bustling with budding inventions, grand soirees, rumors of war, and inequality. Growing tired of being considered property, women are rallying across the country in favor of their right to vote.
Clarke, Raven, and Octavia are scrappy suffragists determined to make the change happen. They find an unexpected ally in Lady Alexandra Woolcott, a noblewoman in the enemies' camp.
Or the fic about Clexa taking down the patriarchy you may have known you needed.
I don't own the rights to any of the characters of people, I just love 'em like crazy and like to ramble about them.

Post 3x07 with Lexa alive and well. Clarke returns to Arkadia to stage an uprising against Pike and hopefully restore peace. No AI plot or demonizing of grounders. No lesbians were killed in the writing of this fic.
