IMAGINE a S7 where Clarke and the others end up back on Earth & find Bellamy waiting, relaxing in the rover: the anomaly having brought him there after Bardo

[cvldbones]

you were never not mine

Summary:

Everyone they meet assumes that Bellamy and Clarke are dating. And, really - they're not.

There are so many things she does not understand about Clarke at sixteen. It feels like overnight her daughter turned into someone new, someone she didn’t understand, and Abby woke up in this new version of her life without an instruction manual.

So, yes, there are so many days that Abby Griffin feels a bit adrift, when it comes to parenting this new version of Clarke.

Until she meets Bellamy Blake.

Clarke joined the debate team when she started high school, at Abby’s probing; she needed extracurriculars for her college applications, and her daughter’s stubbornness was a weapon she could wield very effectively in a debate setting. Bellamy was an older student, a junior to Clarke’s freshman, and Abby had met his mother a handful of times through her clinic’s doors. So that first year, his name features in her stories just like her other friends, and Abby thinks little of it.

Her daughter’s sophomore year, though, something changes. Clarke is partnered with Bellamy for their debates that year, and the two of them seem to have become the de facto leaders of the small group. He starts showing up around their house, staying for dinners, picking Clarke up on the weekends for non-debate things. When Clarke talks about him, her voice has gone warm, rather than tinged with irritation as it had been.

Abby Griffin may not understand her daughter as well anymore, but she remembers being sixteen, too.

why don't we rewrite the stars? (and maybe the world could be ours)

"Right now?" "Why wait?" She responds with a shrug. "We've waited long enough?" He asks, and it feels like a weighted question, like it's about so much more than stories in the sky. "We've waited long enough," she agrees, a faint smile that lifts the corners of her mouth. And so, for perhaps the first time in their relationship, Bellamy and Clarke stop waiting. And instead of looking back at everything they lost, they look towards the sky, at everything that's still to come. (And if Bellamy spends just as much time watching Clarke's smile as he does watching the constellations in the sky, well, who could blame him when she looks like that, shining brighter than the moon and all the stars combined.) Or, Bellamy and Clarke healing underneath the stars. (Special guest featuring Happy!Clarke and Pining!Bellamy.)

a Bellarke, Soulmates AU for my 1.5k Follower Celebration | rated: T | oneshot, wc: 10.8k | tags: modern au, soulmarks, bed sharing

Clarke desperately needs to get away. Mainly to finish her series of paintings, but also to nurse the sting of a still aching break up. It’s not easy having a soulmark and dating someone without one, so needless to say it’s an ugly breakup and she just wants to get over it. When Octavia offers her family’s small cabin to her for the week, Clarke immediately jumps on it. 

Too bad Octavia forgot to run it by her older brother––who is also hiding out there to get his own work done after a bad breakup. 

But maybe fate has a hand in things more than either of them are prepared to accept.

Literally Bellarke wish fulfillment on Sanctum with the assistance of Beliza. I regret nothing.

There it is, loves. Shameless, so mind the tags but I’ve probably missed a bunch!

Kisses! Hope you enjoy!

“What happened to him?” Jasper asked excitedly and she could already see him painting a picture of this larger than life boy. Clarke understood how easy it was to imagine Bellamy that way, and she felt strange having to explain that according to the council, he was only human.

She took a shuddering breath, and poked at the crackling fire in front of her. “His link went dead a few years ago.”

“So he’s dead,” Monty stated matter-of-factly. Clarke glared at him so fiercely that Monty raised his hand in the universal gesture of peace.

“No,” Clarke said sharply. Her heart stuttered at the thought but she pushed the sensation away. She wouldn’t let herself doubt now, not when she’d held on to her faith for so long. “Look around you, everyone’s links are dead to the ark right now. But we’re not dead.”

Finn touched her arm gently. “Some of us are.”

“Bellamy wouldn’t let the Earth get him,” Clarke said confidently, and dared to look into the eyes of those around her. She wanted this imprinted in their minds until the day Bellamy arrived, whether that was tomorrow or sixty years from now. “He was strong, a fighter—determined to survive no matter what. He wouldn’t let acid fog, or sea monsters, or even panthers get him down for long. This is the boy who defied the council, and not just once—stood up to them, after they’d barely been convinced to send him to the ground, he told them they were either going to send him where he wanted to on Earth or they could float themselves…and they did. Does that sound like someone who would let himself die down here? Right now, he’s alive somewhere on Earth, living like a damn king. And when we’ve all figured out how to survive properly, we’re going to find him. I don’t know about you, but I’m not dying until I do.”

Clarke wasn’t much for speeches, but there was something about the way her face lit up with determination and hope simultaneously, there was something about the passion in her voice, the clear belief that fed a fire that burned in all of them.

“Well, fuck,” Murphy joked in that acerbic way of his. “If I don’t find him before I die, I’ll feel like a failure for sure.”

Everyone laughed, releasing the tension that had built with Clarke’s creation of a god, instead of a boy, Earthbound.

guess it was a lawless land

Summary:

“You’ll come get me, right?” she asks, and maybe it’s a trick of the light, but he swears she’s blushing a little bit. “When you find someone good. I want in, too.” He doesn’t even hesitate. “Of course I will.” She clinks her empty beer bottle against his own, and it feels like a vow. So, when he hears about the Marcus Kane campaign, his very first call is to Clarke Griffin.

Bellamy gets into politics because he likes being right.

It’s a perfectly reasonable decision, as far as he’s concerned; he has great opinions, and a lot of them. If he were probed to give another, albeit far more vulnerable answer, he’d say that he got into politics because he wanted to be able to make a difference. It sounds corny even in his own head, though, so he’d probably never admit that aloud, but the point remains.

The world has not been kind to him – his mother didn’t get the proper medical care she needed because she couldn’t afford health insurance, the foster system nearly bankrupted him and almost ruined his relationship with his sister, and the process of not only applying to but also attending college as a first-generation nontraditional student had felt like it might kill him. It would be nice, he thinks, to change some of that. Maybe not all of it, maybe not all at once, but – baby steps.

When he finds that once he’s finished his history degree at GW, he isn’t ready to stop going to school yet, he’s not horribly surprised. He worked so hard to get to this point, and so he lets himself think, for the first time, of what he wants to do with his life, and he decides to embrace the more optimistic part of him. Lets himself latch onto the idea of making real, tangible change.

So, he stays, and he gets his master’s in political science, and he starts interning on campaigns. And the second he’s there, he realizes that this is it. The thing he’s meant to do. His voice is important, in those rooms; they take him seriously, not because he’s someone’s kid or nephew, but because he’s good at this. He keeps being referred up, further and further, and so his first real, full-time gig outside of grad school is on the Jaha campaign.

Even though he starts off in more of the volunteer coordination side, Cartwig – Jaha’s Chief of Staff – realizes he has a natural aptitude for the writing. He starts working with their communications team, mostly on speeches, shadowing the Communications Director, and learning as he goes.

That’s where he meets Clarke Griffin.

Happy New Year! For the holidays I joined in on another Bellarke gift exchange (@bellarke-events) and this is a sneak peek of an AU prompted by @superficialseer! The full thing will be posted soon but I wanted to get something up for now! Happy Holidays! ❤️💚

“I feel like I’m trapped in a Disney movie from the mid-2000s.” Bellamy comments as she settles in beside him again, definitely not glancing at how close her thigh is to his. “More like a Hallmark rom-com, complete with the snowstorm and Christmas music.” Bellamy’s not sure if he consists more of the rom or the com for her, but before he can head down that train of thought, she’s reaching over and stealing the last Christmas cookie that he was two seconds away from putting in his mouth. All he can do is watch her bite down on it with a smile. Clarke’s like that, he’s come to realize. Only a few hours of knowing each other and she’s comfortable nudging his knee with hers when she says something to get him to smile or stealing the last cookie from the cookie box he bought an hour ago from some high-end bakery chain in the food court area. She’s intriguing. (She’s dangerous.)

Happy Valentine’s day, @astridandoddsandends !

[Bellarke Modern AU]  Bellamy and Clarke are still circling each other. And yet, they never end up in each other's arms. All their friends wonder when they'll finally get the courage to really talk, not just with their eyes, and not half-heartedly.

On Valentine's Day night, Murphy threw a party for Emori, inviting at least 100 of their friends. The party is in full swing and Clarke already has three possibilities in mind. It's when Bellamy sees her like this, beaming, that he realizes he can't stand the thought of her with anyone else. Does he like torture or what? It's high time, he decides, to find out if their friendship can turn into something different. He takes advantage of a moment when she is having a drink on the terrace to approach her and to slip in her ear: “Come with me”. Clarke turns to him : “What ?” He adds with a half-smile : “You and me. Screw everybody else. Let’s just...go.” She looks at him without a word, pupils dilated. He holds his breath. The world spins on its axis. Without a word, she slips her hand in his and they slip away.
