Three Days
Rating: M
Word Count: 2,849
Part 1 of 4
This fic is based off one of my favorite Christmas movies “Three Days”. Childhood sweethearts Clarke and Bellamy have been married for ten years. Bellamy, a literary agent, has spent more time at work than at home, straining his relationship with Clarke. This story is all about second chances and what you do with them. There will be angst especially in part 1. But more importantly, “Three Days” will show the love between two people who are destined for each other. I hope you enjoy part 1.
Johanna (@anilengka) is so caring and thoughtful. She always has something insightful to say, and she is one of the kindest people in this fandom.

Please help me stop imagining a reunion where Bellamy thinks he has moved on because he thought she was dead all those years. I need your positivity.
Alright, here I come!
I don’t think you’ll like my answer right away, but i need you to hear it (and everyone reading this) but please don’t quit until the end okay? pinky promise?
Yes, there’s a high possibility Bellamy will end up getting together with someone else on the ark during those 6 years, IMO. I don’t know who if Raven or Echo, the interviews make me think Echo but episode makes me think Raven is possible.
BUT, that’s not all “random” there’s a reason I think that and hopefully I can explain in a good way.
So let’s start by the beginning.
1- The writers wanted a time jump.
All this time i’ve been thinking why so many plots are happening and now everything is clear. They wanted to “reboot” the story. Clarke is a grounder, the delinquents are skyppl,the criminals are the delinquents and so it goes. Their entire goal was to get to this time jump. And this was unrelated to bellarke or any other ship, this is what they needed for the plot.
2- Having decided on a time jump......... Bellamy and Clarke could not be together on it.
And this is the best news any of us could ever wish for. This is why when i first heard script spoilers of their possible separation + time jump I was like...... yeah of course. Yes.... they have to do it.
If Bellamy and Clarke’s relationship wasn’t important/ vital (and/or on its finale stage) the writers wouldn’t mind making us miss 6 years worth of development out of them.
Cause that’s what the time jump is for whoever was stuck together for it. We are simply not going to see how all of these relationships will develop on our screens, we’ll get to season 5 and all the changes would have been done.
Now picture if Bellamy and Clarke had been together 6 years on the ark.... all alone.. i mean, are we really thinking they wouldn’t go full romance there or-? Even worse, what if “they didn’t” and then season 5 began and we find out bellamy and clarke had been stuck together for flipping 6 years and they still didn’t go nonplatonic????
That’ s DEATH my friend. Both options are death. Shipping something for so long, watching it develop in front of your eyes just to miss the most romantic part of it would be beyond terrible.... finding out they did nothing about their feelings - and beginning to doubt they ever exist - is even worse.
So, given the fact that they needed and wanted a time jump, a bellarke separation was inevitable.
You can see that all the “super key” relationships on the show were apart on this time jump btw? Clarke - Abby, Bellamy - Octavia and Bellamy - Clarke.
This is not to say all other relationships aren’t imporant, HECK STOP, it’s just that for those relationships that get more focus, but MAINLY Bellarke - AS ADMITED BY JASON ROTHENBERG HIMSELF as the most important relationship of the show - here :x and x; - The story depends on Bellarke, one thing doesn’t go without the other. On some level, it’s always about them. So when the story pauses, so do they, cause the writers will show to us where they are going every freaking step of the way- didn’t they do it after season 1? after season 2?? even more now! They won’t let us miss 6 years of their relationships, no way.
Unless their relationship has already developed to its full potential...........
which now you’re asking me what I mean cause Clarke is calling Bellamy for 6 years on a row now and Bellamy main drive to fight for their lives was not letting her die in vain-
yeah, yeah I’m talking about romance.
Cause there is NO WHERE ELSE this story can possibly go. I mean, how the heck will they make Bellamy and Clarke CLOSER still under the platonic realms? Cause lemme tell you, seems pretty impossible to me.
So, again, to me, the separation is a sign this shiz ain’t platonic, they know it, or they’d just let them be together on earth as the “new grounders” and then, since they ain’t romantic, we wouldn’t miss much in 6 years? They’d still be co-leaders, best friends, who die and kill for each other, trust each other with their lives and broken pieces, are each others’ rocks, weaknesses, sanity -all that jazz.
(feel me?) Bellarke is coming)
3- We are watching a drama
And this is where the bad news come. The thing about good story telling is that... writers want to make people watch. And that doesn’t always mean they’ll pull us in by our “good” feelings. Sometimes they want the angst, sometimes they want the anger. They just want us here, feeling like we NEED to see what happens
(well...don’t we right now? So good job the 100 writers)
That being said, i think there are.... 3 ways in which this story can go.
1- Bellamy for real believes Clarke is dead, he mourns for a long time and then people convince him to live again. And then he does.
But then he finds out she’s alive and it’s chaos for his new relationship. Cause, lemme say it again, no matter where they stand, Bellamy and Clarke are the mains and so is their relationship. Wherever they go, their interactions are the most important ones. That being said, imagine Bellamy trying to have a relationship with someone but then something happens with Clarke and he worries, or he gets into a real intense argument with Clarke and feels are exposed, or everything they do really brings them back to who they were and this new person is there to watch.
You don’t need to imagine THAT hard, just remember how Finn and Clarke’s relationship started being....a bit more tense after Clarke started getting closer to Bellamy (1x09 hello). Imagine that upped by a million cause that was then and this is now, where Clarke risks the human race for Bellamy and Bellamy risks losing life and limb to save her.
2- Bellamy thinks Clarke is dead but something inside him tells him she’s not so he holds on to that.
I actually see it happening too. Cause I think it’s a very natural reaction? Like he would only believe it if he was down on earth and saw it.
There’s not much to comment there, they’d see each other and the story would go from there. No need to worry about relationships (but i feel like for sure the writers would imply something almost happened with Bellamy and ~anyone ~cause again, it’s a CW show....any show really, it’s 6 YEARS)
3- Bellamy, believing or not Clarke is dead, doesn’t actually gets into a relationship with anyone but he’s ALMOST AT IT- and then he finds out Clarke is alive.
That’s a way to avoid... idk love triangle tropes i don’t like (and the writers say they don’t either). He’d find Clarke back and well....sooner or later the other person involved would end up telling Bellamy he had always loved clarke or some less cheesy version of that.
And finally, most love stories that involve time gaps at least at some point (e.g: the notebook, veronica mars, dawson’s creek, once upon a time on several occasions haha) DO involve one of the sides - or both - “falling” (ahem being ahem) with someone else. Mostly because it creates angst, it feels more real (can’t argue there?) and ultimately it shows some connections are stronger than others and the two characters that were originally separated really were meant to be, and their” love overcomes” and all that shiz.
So if you’re worried Bellamy will move on, be worried it will mostly piss us off, but not about Bellarke (i don’t see a reason for that with the PLOT info we have at the moment - in my opinion), cause they are the “epic love story” (*fightmee*) being separated here, so the story is about them.
here is a text post that isn’t exactly about that but amazing to cheer anyone up about the time jump:http://bellamyblakesprotectionsquad2k17.tumblr.com/post/161043775714/because-i-know-some-of-yall-will-need-hope-right
HOPE I HELPED!!! REALLY

#1 sign your movie was written by people who live in a place where it never snows.
I try not to be too Midwestern Snobby about snow and cold, but come on, people. At least google that shit.

Due to a reread of this post, I’ve come to the realization that I’m more than one icon behind because I’m still seeing the Halloween one xD
Dear tumblr, what are you doing?!
Here is a little visual to show my icon changes because it can get rather confusing (especially because I rarely change my icon)
I think all the panic is a sign of good writing and decent promotion. The writers want to keep us on the edge of our seats and it appears to be working. I'm less worried about the next episode than I am about the finale. They have a tendency toward brutal cliffhangers. What are we gonna do then?
that is ABSOLUTELY TRUE MY FRIEND
this is the most hype the fandom has been all season. And you know why? Cause everyone is reacting exactly like the writers want them to
From what happened in 4x10 to every scene carefully put on the 4x11 promo.
Simple as that.
You talk about how we don't have to wait as long for canon anymore. Do you have any previous shipping nightmares? Or maybe something that didn't get confirmed? Mine is Jack and Sam from Stargate SG-1. The show ended 10 years ago and I'm still annoyed about how much that one was teased without end game confirmation.
If I have shipping nightmares-
So freaking many? Honestly shipping comes to me as natural as breathing so,in everything i ever watched, i had a ship.
Many of them became canon even if note endgame (my ship sense is kinda uncanny and i take pride in that haha), some didn’t, many of them I had to truly wait for it, and some of them i waited so so long and they became canon, and then their endgame was taken.
(beware of spoilers ahead and yeah, unless I say I binge watched the thing, i watched all this that i’m gonna describe unfold)
Many of them are even from kid’s shows (again, i’ve been shipping ever since I was a kid), which let me tell you, are the TRUE test of patience :
Lizzie and Gordo (can we talk about how annoying the end of Lizzie Mcguire was and how they were only canon at the end – MAYBE), Miley and Oliver (yeah hannah montana, yeah never happened), Seddie, iCarly (took 4 years to become romantically canon for real, lost endgame cause writers suck), Ned/mooze, Ned declassified ( took 3 years for canon, this one was easy), Casey/Derek (AAAH this one, this show lasted 4 years …. they never became canon…. or did they)
Moving on to the adult table:
Steroline (took 6 years to become romantically canon, then they got married, then Stefan died),
Dan and Blair who took 4 years for first kiss, 5 years to get together and against all odds (second biggest scar on my non endgames list),
Laurel and Wes took 3 years to get together then…. tragic end
Moving to happy things going rn but that we had to work it to see happening:
Kensi and Deeks took 4 years to share a first kiss, 5 years for an almost getting together, 6 years to finally get together
Stydia. This one is a tricky one? Cause it was romantic from 1x01 from one side but then as the years went by we didn’t even know how he felt anymore and we were left in the dark and everyone quit and didn’t believe they were gonna happen anymore cause they barely got interactions (seems awfully familiar?). and Stiles who was previously so barely looked or talked to Lydia and he got a girlfriend which he had more way scenes with, cute scenes - that all on season 4 meanwhile everyone had been shipping them since season 1 (again. Familiar?). Anyways, first kiss happened after 3 years (tho not under romantic implications…yeah) and then we were begging for scraps for years and they became super canon on season 6 as you might have heard. (so yeah, took them 6 years and a lot of pain)
Jane/Lisbon took 6 years to become romantically canon in any way , didn’t even get an “undercover kiss” so classic in criminal shows.
Moving to things i binge watched at least to some point but that took forever for whoever didn’t (or maybe even for me):
Pacey and Joey took 3 years and they had an epic love story, but then they separated and there were these couple of seasons where HECK you really thought it was all over cause they barely had interactions and she was supposedly the soulmate to the other guy but then- epicness
Logan and Veronica had an epic love story for 3 years (became canon quickly), but they were very on and off and veronica had other romances which could lead one to think (several times) logan/veronica wouldn’t end togehter, the show was cancelled on season 3 when they were APART and she was dating another guy. Then,seven years later, against all odds, fans were able to raise money to fund a movie and well… the rest is history
Binge watched Bones when it was on …season 5 I think? Booth and Brennan weren’t together, became canon on that season (so took them 5 years even tho they were the mains and clearly had feels for each other). Then they got together one season later (so 6 years) and it was all rushed and aargh.
Barney and Robin (biggest scar i ever had, took 3 years to become romantically canon, got together on year 4. Separated year 5 - when i started watching btw-, got together again on season 7, separated again right after their wedding on the worst series finale in history).
Right now, the not happy endings because they didn’t end…
And then there’s always Jon and Daenerys, who i’ve shipped ever since episode 1x01 (which i watched on the year it aired, not on binge watch btw). And we’re reaching season 7, and they’ve never met. So yeah, 7 years shipping, they haven’t met and yeap still shipping it and believing. (and they are gonna meet this season and they are gonna happen -YO SHIP RADAR DOESN’T LIIIIIIIEEEEE THIS GONNA HAPPEN)
And honestly there’s probably so much more but ,heck, my memory sucks.
