    Summary

    “I would pick up the pace if I were you. Wouldn’t want to fall behind and lose your crown now, right princess?”

    “I’d sooner lock myself in this barn and set it on fire,” she manages, keeping her tone saccharine sweet before flipping him off.

    His grin widens at that, reaching over to drum his fingers against the best sales trophy (the one with her name on it) before striding off, whistling nonchalantly.

    Or; the one where Clarke acquires a Christmas job, some neat gift wrapping skills, and feelings for her annoyingly competitive co-worker.

    Summary

    Bellamy Blake is a librarian. And with that great power comes great responsibility. But it’s what he does, and he lives for those who are actually interested when they lean on his desk and ask for recommendations. That sort of people make him forget all about assholes like the blonde who drops by his desk one day, looking to check out Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Palahniuk’s Fight Club.

    *

    Based on the prompts: “you said Shakespeare was dumb while checking out Fight Club and I am ready to Fight You” and “someone left a comment card in the suggestions box that says ‘the reference librarian is super cute’ and now all of the reference librarians are arguing over who it’s for”

    Summary

    "I think you're forgetting one important detail that everyone knows about Hades, Princess."
    "What?" Clarke seemed confused, and Bellamy feels obligated to tell her, despite the argument sure to follow.
    "Persephone. Hades...he always has his own princess with him."
    Clarke shot him a disbelieving look, "And somehow, that's me?"
    Bellamy gave a low chuckle, "I'm not the one who said it, Clarke."

     

    After the fallout of killing everyone in Mount Weather, Bellamy and Clarke realize that the blood on their ledger is greater than imagined, and even together, closure and forgiveness seems hard to see in the future. But, after Bellamy inadvertently offers himself up to become the new 'Hades' or Lord of the Underworld- a job unoccupied since the nuclear war on earth- he begins to see familiar faces that is now his problem on finding a way across the to paradise. When Bellamy realizes he's begun to fall into the shoes of a favorite mythical god, he starts to put together the one thing that's missing from his own version of the myth; a Persephone, and Clark has an awful lot of things to work out in the underworld too. 'Modern' Persephone/Hades.

    Summary

    Raven gives them each a raised brow in turn. “So is this going to be a thing, now?”

    Clarke and Bellamy share a look. It’s unclear what thing Raven’s referencing specifically; them, giggling over inappropriate jokes about Greek myths? Drinking coffee from cereal bowls? Clarke’s ridiculous sweatshirt? It’s not really very clear.

    “Definitely,” Bellamy decides with a grin, and Clarke grins back because yeah, they might be friends now.

    Or, Clarke moves into a co-op, and Bellamy steals all their food.

    Summary

    She knows she should not have put this project off for too long. And now, she has no choice but to convince someone else to be her canvas. Luckily, her door opens rather forcefully (and she knows only one person who does that).
