All This Time by mia2323

She knows it will end eventually. That their story will grow old and be buried with time but it’s hers. Her story with her brave, special and beautiful boy. The boy who could travel through time and meet her all over again.

Okay so finally I’ve found a new charger for my laptop so the 48 unresponded messages from the last fortnightish can be answered! I’m so sorry if you’ve been waiting (and there was a fair backlog anyway) so there’s probably a lot of you

But! I will be answering them soon :)

Night Work  by dansunedisco

“No. No way,” Clarke says, when she sees where they’ve ended up. She digs her heels into the pavement, but Raven’s grip on her wrist is strong, almost too strong for someone who’s downed almost twice as much as Clarke has tonight. No small feat.

“It’s just a strip club!” she says. The neon sign above the building flashes in steady bursts, gaudy and red; the steady thump of bass pulses out when the doors swing open. “And you promised, Clarke. You said, and I quote, ‘when exams are over, I will do whatever you want’. And I want to go inside this fine establishment.”

Or: Clarke meets Bellamy at a strip club.

Did you just smile?  by FortReveuse20

AU. Clarke has no choice but to spend game night with THE Bellamy Blake after her friends unwillingly bail on her for their own plans. Sometimes, a simple gesture says more than enough.

Sounds Like A Deal  by onceuponahundred

the fool keeps fighting  by spiekiel

“You guys were like a force of nature,” Octavia says. “I always figured you were going to last forever.”

(in which Clarke and Bellamy broke up seven months ago, never really shook being in love, and are both too stubborn to admit they were wrong)

Her Motto "Do or Die"  by elegantstupidity

In 1943, Clarke Griffin leaves everything behind to be a part of the All-American Girl's Professional Baseball League. With her team and reluctant manager, it seems like the world is her oyster.

Of course, nothing is that easy.

Or: The A League of Their Own AU I will finish if it kills me.

When Bellamy Blake is fourteen, he kills the girl he loves.

everything comes undone  by royalwisteria

Bellamy has been working ceaselessly under the Murphy's, a slave, waiting for a chance to go and find his sister Octavia, whose whereabouts he desperately wants to discover. It has been 15 years, but Bellamy tends carefully to his fire of faith and waits patiently.

Clarke is busy helping her mother run Ark, worrying about a possible war with Weathervale and a treaty with the Clans, and somehow people seem to think she needs help finding a husband. Three consecutive balls are scheduled, and Commander Lexa seems to think this a wonderful time to visit.

If Bellamy could somehow figure out a way to go, he could manage an escape from the hell of his life; Clarke just wants the balls, a waste of time and money, to be over as quickly as possible.

Then they meet.

The Wandering and Wondering of Clarke Griffin  by LovelyLola

Clarke left in the dead of night, taking her dad's car and leaving everything behind. She sets off to find herself, wondering who she even is anymore. Almost two years later, she's back in town and desperate for some kind of connection. In a moment of weakness, she calls Octavia. And what was suppose to be a quick visit turns into months.

Will Clarke really be able to leave everyone behind again? Or will she stay, finally finding a home in Bellamy Blake?

Arrows of Fate   by AccioLibros

When the residents of the Ark turn 15 a silver mark appears on their bodies. One other person has that same mark. That person is their soulmate. Bellamy hasn't found his match when he arrives on Earth, but when he notices the mark on his co-leader's hip, he knows she's the one. But he can't possibly love the Princess, not to mention she's already involved with Spacewalker.

why they fought the wars   by hhellion (LackingStealth)

She sends him into the mountain. It’s a post-apocalyptic twist on the classic trope, send in a gift horse with a gun on his back and wait for him to burn Troy-Under-The-Mountain to the ground.

Mount Weather never stood a chance.

look like the boy too shy   by foolanyfriend

"Bellamy, she's not going to bite you," Octavia says, rolling her eyes.

"Well," Miller smirks, the dark green scales of his tail catching the light as he idly flicks it back and forth, treading water. "You never do know with those royal types."

Coffee Shop Miracle (F*** Finals)   by JennTheMastermind

While standing in line for the coffee he hopes is his Christmas miracle and studying for a final he fears he will fail, Bellamy is taken by surprise when the Barista is not only familiar, but also when she offers some unexpected help.

When You Gaze Long Into The Abyss   by wordyanansi

Bellamy follows his sister to Washington DC, because he doesn't know what else do when she and her husband move there.

His transfer into the Washington DC Public Safety Bureau (WDCPSB) is not what he was expecting, and neither was his new partner, Clarke Griffin, or their Enforcers. His pretty sure, whatever PSB you're in, you're not meant to fall in love with your partner. And Clarke seems like a stickler for the rules.
