Clexa political/arranged marriage AU
To defend Clarke from conspirators who would seek to claim Wanheda’s power for their own and to forge a permanent, unbreakable alliance between Skaikru and the Coalition, Lexa proposes a political marriage. Despite the vehement opposition of her mother and friends, Clarke agrees to the union because she’ll do anything to protect her people and bring them lasting peace, even if it means sharing her life—and a bed—with the person who betrayed her at Mount Weather.
As a demonstration of her trust and sincerity about this being a relationship of equals, Lexa delegates significant duties to Clarke and s l o w l y they begin to grow closer as they work together, support one another, start to depend upon each other, and Clarke comes to see a different side of Lexa. A Lexa who is fair and considerate; by turns serious and subtly playful during her lessons with the nightbloods, but always patient with their questions; fiercely protective and demanding of respect for her spouse when she learns that Clarke’s authority is being undermined by the council of ambassadors, who view Wanheda as a mere trophy and a symbol of the Commander’s folly.
And while Clarke isn’t immune to the loaded glances and not-unwelcome casual touches that seem to occur with greater frequency as the months roll by, she’s wary of the stirrings of rekindled attraction. Can she really trust Lexa with her heart? Especially when there are forces inside and outside of Polis determined to drive them apart?
The glacial slow burn arranged marriage AU where Clexa are wives who are increasingly hot and bothered by each other, but both refuse to act on their feelings because they are stubborn, obtuse idiots.
