#clarke x josephine

[laufire]

she was so thirsty. she and clarke should've had weird psych hatesex tbqh.

[laufire]

absolutely hilarious that clarke has a moment of empathy for josephine (in general, but specifically the genuinity when josephine loses some of her memories) like. añdslkfajsdf. despite the reasonable hostility and the need for mutual maneuvering and manipulations they just feel each other lmao.

[laufire]

clarke experiencing self-recognition through the other via josephine: I do not like this I do not like this I do not like this-

[slytherinbarnes]

I fear we do not talk about josephine enough. she was that girl and one of my favorite villains 😪

The 100, S6 / Josephine x Clarke

Espionage and counter-espionage in Sanctum

[slytherinbarnes]

also I once wrote a clarke x josephine fic bc I am fascinated by their dynamic

bright stars and black holes

pairing: Josephine Lightbourne x Clarke Griffin

word count: 5.6k

warnings: language, anxiety, some death, some angst, some fluff, a hint of smut if you squint your eyes. 

summary: Josephine Lightbourne is used to getting what she wants. everything changes when she meets Clarke Griffin.

a/n: this is my secret santa gift for @lovelessdyke​​! I know I went way over the 1k word limit, but when I was told the pairing, I got really excited and just couldn’t stop! thank you to my bff for helping me figure out the plot and work out the kinks, I love you the mostest! also thank you to @hyperion-moonbabe-art3mis​​ and @johnmurphyisqueer​​ for hosting this! it was so much fun, and a very good distraction from my holiday stress. okay, enough rambling, here’s the fic!

my masterlist

Josephine Lightbourne is used to getting what she wants. 

So when she is put into another host, one that fights back, it lights a fire in her that she hasn’t felt in decades. She loves Gabriel, she knows that for sure, but even things with him had become complacent. They��re in love, but they’re at odds, too fundamentally different in their approach to immortalhood to really be anything more than star crossed lovers. 

Everything changes for her when she meets Clarke Griffin.

Of course, she doesn’t meet Clarke in the traditional sense, not the way that most friends or lovers are introduced. Instead, Josephine is resurrected in Clarke’s body and meets her first through her friends, her family, her people. Forced to pretend to be the fallen Nightblood from Earth, John Murphy teaches her how to trick the people in Clarke’s life into believing that she’s still alive. But of course, it all goes to shit when Bellamy figures out her secret and threatens revenge. Luckily for her, she can be very persuasive.

A SHORT (NOT) MESS OF AN ESSAY ON HOW CLARKE AND BELLAMY ARE INCREDIBLY ESSENTIAL TO THEIR UNIVERSE This is a half-humorous post about the ridiculousness of the plot, but believe me it's filled to the brim with my love for it

Or, in which explaining the plot of the numbers show would get me institutionalized. I refuse to check wiki while writing this post so if I'm wrong about any of the lore and dates, just look past it. So, ~100 years before S1 we have the following happening: Becca Franco is a brilliant billionaire who is a genetic engineer, a prodigy coder, oh and a eugenics supporter who is working on a superior black-blooded race. She also creates A.L.L.I.E - an AI that does not understand that sometimes the end does not justify the means In the background, WW3 is raging, Diyoza is blowing up fascist governments, the U.S. president is a Wallace. And then there is this bombshell blonde Josephine Ada Lightbourne, with her princess haircut, who is a huge fan of Becca's. She is preparing to embark on a mission to look for inhabitable planets onboard of Eligious III. Those who are part of this mission are equipped with memory drives inside their heads for storing data about new environments. Eventually, Becca has one of those inside her head, too. Meanwhile, Diyoza and >300 other prisoners are sent on a mining mission on a bunch of rocks in space aboard Eligious I. They are put to sleep in cryopods developed by Becca's company. Meanwhile, it can be assumed that Clarke's ancestors and Bellamy's great-great-great grandpa with 4 PhDs have begun their space station jobs.

97 years later, we all know what happens, 101 people are sent to Earth on what is believed by many to be a suicidal mission. There is nothing inherently special about Clarke or Bellamy. I mean, of course they are dearly special to my heart and turn out to be incredibly special to the universe, but before I humorously describe the plot progression, I need to emphasize, they are two humans who lived all of their life on a tin can in space, and while within the context of the Ark they are special (Clarke is a "princess", of course not literally but it does not seem far fetched that she would end up becoming the Chancellor someday; Bellamy is the only big sibling on the ark which gives him personality traits unique for someone his age as far as the ark is concerned). But they are not supernatural beings, they do not have nightblood, they are not chosen ones, know what I mean? And yet:

S1: the most down-to-earth season, after that the stakes will only go up. Objective: make sure that the 102 has as many survivors as possible until the adults get down to Earth. Enemies: grounders, reapers, wildlife, elements, toxic fog (mountain men but they do not know that yet), sometimes the delinquents turn against other delinquents. Clarke uses her calculating, cunning, and caring nature as well as her medical skills to gain respect among the group. By the end of S1 she is someone that the rest of the delinquents look up to guidance. Bellamy uses his PhD in public speaking (why is he sometimes "quiet" in blarke fanfic, he is literally the yapper boyfriend) and combat prowess to initially scare people into deference, however his caring side cannot be contained for too long. By the end of S1, he is someone that the rest of the delinquents look up to for guidance. Blarke status: co-leaders who respect and inspire each other and friends who flirt at the most improper occasions

S2: the season with the finale to end all season finales trademark.

Objective: break the 47 out of mount weather; establish a truce with the grounders and claim some territory for arkadians Enemies: Mountain Men, grounders and their commandor but in a "enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend kinda way, gorilla mutant

Clarke - kills her ex-boyfriend (and that is the merciful option), and becomes a de-facto chancellor due to incompetence of A/bby and K/ane; negotiates a deal with the grounder ruler - L/xa who in her head HAS A MIND DRVE WITH ALLIE 2.0 THE MORE ADVANCED VERSION OF THE AI WHO NUKED THE WORLD and also HAS THE MEMORIES OF BECCA FRANCO. Clarke kisses l/xa - the start of a long situationship with the chip.

Bellamy - goes on an extremely risky one-man undercover mission to infiltrate Mount Weather. Just so it resonates, Bellamy is not a trained spy or a navy seal or a special forces soldier. He pulls of this insane feat of disabling the acid fog without being caught(the fog machine apparently has been killing the grounders for 50+ years and is the reason why the grounders could not retaliate against MW all this time!!!! He!! really!! did!! all1! that!! without being caught AND was actively working on protecting the 47 simultaneously) Blarke status: bonded over the actual genocide of MW (including the Wallace lineage) after the grounders forced their hand by utterly betraying them. S3 - the season when things start to get out of hand Objective: claim safe territory for arkadians to live and hunt for food; develop an alliance with the grounders (who stabbed them in the back in S2); make sure the commander keeps her word that arkadians are part of the alliance; make sure Ice nation does not ascend and wipe out skycrew; keep their own people from being executed by their own people; stop Emerson; stop THE AI THAT ENDED THE WORLD WITH NUKES, stop the zombies controlled by said AI; obtain a nightblood in order to access Becca and stop the evil AI SAVE THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE

Enemies: grounders (heh I see a pattern); Pike (kinda), Queen Nia, Emerson, Roan (kinda), Ontario, ALLIE, Jaha (kinda), l/xa (kinda), Echolocation wew, just writing it down, they really did try to do everything in those 16 episodes, didn't they? ALLIE the AI that NUKED THE PLANET bats her eyelashes flirtatiously at BELLAMY while possessing Raven. Calls out Bellamy for being more devoted to Clarke than to his actual girlfriend. i need to emphasise that THE AI THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENDING THE CIVILATION IS INVESTED IN BELLARKE RELATIONSHIP DRAMA.

Clarke enters the chip inhabited by her lover and by Becca Franco. Has a conversation with both ALLIE and Becca. The memory of 'together" gives her strength to pull the kill switch.

ALLIE: so essentially in 6 month is the last day of humanity because of the second nuclear apocalypse incoming,

Clarke: don't worry, me and Bellamy will figure something out :))) together :))) (with Raven ofc, I mean no erasure to my girl, its just this post is focusing on bellarke) ALLIE: :O Im exhausted Ive already been writing out this post for an hour, Im glad I'm halfway through

Blarke status: reunited and it feels so good. Saved the world (but not quite yet) S4 - the calamity season

Objective: Save the human race (again)

Enemies: Primefiya, Ice Nation (kinda), Ilian (for a hot second), ALLIE 1.0 (for Raven) Uncle Jaha sets up Blarke on a day trip in order to feed them some lore that will be relevant later. Bellamy picks up a coin with the 'from the ashes we will rise" written on it, which will prompt Jaha to correlate this with the grounder prayer which will make him ask the flaimkeeper about it which will lead them to check the temple which will lead them to discovering the bunker. So I think that all the ppl who found salvation inside the bunker owe their life to Bellamy in a round about way.

Clarke once again negotiates an alliance with the grounders. Acts as de facto chancellor. Bellarke act as the leaders of the sky people as god intended. Clarke becomes a nightblood (this will be extra relevant in S6) O*tavia is credited with something that was Clarke's idea in the first place and would be impossible without Bellamy's help. So everyone say thank you Clarke and Bellamy for saving us :) Blarke status: This voice mail is currently full. S5: We are not pretanding that the apocalypse could have possibly happened around 2050 anymore considering the technology available

Objective: Save the human race and Earth. Try not to destroy the only inhabitable spot of land left on the planet challenge.

Enemies: Paxton "Graveyard" McCreary, Diyoza (kinda), rest of the miner's crew, Kara Cooper, Octonian, Miller (for a minute) Diyoza, the former navy seal corporal turned domestic anti-fascist terrorist back from 106 years ago is very invested in the Bellarke relationship status. Bellamy makes a deal with Diyoza & her army by having a galaxy brain and keeping that Best Dad in the Universe mug - truly an iconic behavior. This leads to a) saving Clarke and Madi (a.k.a his wife and daughter uwu) b) opening the bunker, which apparently the 814 left in the bunker had no prospects of opening so please say thank you Bellamy fast forward to the end - Clarke and Bellamy are off to ANOTHER FUCKING PLANET?!?! and making decision regarding the fate of the human race again as God intended. Also Marper got to be happy and grow old together <3 miss them though. Blarke status: they got sick of their world-wide fame and now are onto their galaxy-wide fame. They have 2 kids. S6 - The most romantic 10 episodes of television brought to screen I think Objective: explore Alpha; find a safe territory for their people; make alliances with Sanctum; uh oh what are those people up to???; sci-fi horror intensifies; SAVE CLARKE; and the rest of sky crew I guess; keep an eye on Jordan and Madi (objective failed); act on feelings (objective failed)

Okay, so. We have this awesome chick Josephine and she and neuroscientist Gabriel are sooooo in love. They are quite crazy about each other. Josie is very flirtatious but you can tell that what she and Gabriel have is something special. But then BUT THEN Josie is murdered by her own dad while he was having an environment-driven psychotic episode. and Gabriel is NOT READY TO LET HER GO HE LOVES HER OKAY. And her dad, Russel, obviously feels guilty as fuck and cannot live with himself. So Russel and Gabriel work on defeating death. Yea you heard that right, we are dealing with immortality now. After decades of inhumane experiments they succeed in bringing Josie back in some innocent girl';s body. How? Because Josie was backed up on a mindrive, that was developed by Becca. You know, the same Becca that caused the world to end the first time and inadvertently caused the plot of the whole show to happen. The same Becca whose AI was very invested in Bellarke relationship drama. I digress

Fast forward ~250 years later, Josie is a bubbly psychopath (she sad endearingly). And Gabriel actually noped the fuck out of this eugenics oblation camp 70 years prior. This caused Josie to become even colder and more ruthless, she doubled down after she realised that the love of her life had become disgusted by her. She does no longer remember how it feels to be loved or how did it feel TO love someone as she did Gabriel. One day, She wakes up and discovered she was put in the body of the iconic Clarke "Ferrari" Griffin herself. She thinks she will get away with the (not successful) murder of her because she has a lot to offer her friends in return, namely immortality, territory, and all the intel about the planet they had gathered. BUT BUT BUT she did not expect one Bellamy Goddamn Blake a.k.a the love of Clarke's life.

He is the first one to realize that Clarke is not Clarke. He is the first one to realize that Clarke is ALIVE. By seeing Clarke memories Josie knows that what would be likely to make Clarke stop trying is the belief that Bellamy gave up on her. BITCH YOU THOUGHT

So she experiences Bellamy DRAGGING her on forest floor and being gentle with her body at the same time because it is CLARKE's body. While they are in a cave she teases him about his relationship with Clarke, then reminisces about Gabriel and gets all sappy, and then by taunting Bellamy she hears "I wont let you die" and let me tell you SHE'S SHOOk. SHE FORGOT. SHE FORGOT YOU COULD LOVE SOMEONE SO MUCH. SHE FORGOT YOU COULD BE LOVED SO MUCH. IT PROBABLY REMINDS HER OF HOW GABRIEL ONCE WAS DEVOTED TO HER AND T SHAKES HER TO THE CORE.

Fast forward to Bellamy showing up Just In Time, undercover (as is his favorite past time) Josie says mockingly "because of course it s" BUT YOU KNOW SHE'S IMPRESSED. Then, The Tent, o man, THE TENT. Josie, probably slowly accepting that this might really be her end, admits to Bellamy in the softest voice "she was right to depend on you" And then she pleads with Gabriel and it's heartbreaking because yes she's a villain, she's a eugenist, a psycho, even simply Evil, probably BUT ONCE SHE WAS A BRILLIANT, RESOURCEFUL, CONFIDENT YOUNG WOMAN LIKE CLARKE. AND SHE JUST WANTED TO GROW OLD WITH GABRIEL. AND GABRIEL TELLS HER I LOVED YOU FOR CENTURIES AND BELLAMY'S FACE AND JOSIE GOT TO HAVE TO SPEND HER LAST MOMENTS WITH GABRIEL THANKS TO BELLAMY AND CLARKE AND IT GIVES HER STRENGTH TO KIND OF ACCEPT DEATH, PERMANENTLY "IN THIS BIG SLEEP, WHAT DREAMS MAY COME" "I HAVE TO LET YOU GO NOW" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NA DTHEn AND THEN WE HAVE THE CPR SCENE "I NEED YOU" "YOU'RE A FIGHTER SO GET UP AND FIGHT" "I AM NOT LETTING YOU GO" MOUTH TO MOUTH, TRUE LOVE"S KISS And Clarke looks at him like he hung the stars in the sky. Bellamy looks at her like he is the only star in his sky. And they save their friends. again. And they Do Better.

Cause they are better. together. And they are SO.POWERFUL

Their relationship literally transcends centuries and planets. Wow this is long. My legs are tired from sitting in one position. Who made it till the end?

[belltaviasbff]

josie: now that’s a weird relationship, isn’t it?

bellamy: it’s called enemies to friends to lovers thank you very much

[okmcintyre]

[laufire]

the mix of emotional incompetence, almost arrested development (interesting if we think of the traumatic experiences she had as a young girl), and the frozen core of steel and capacity for ruthlessness that leads to all of her eugenics shit is something I find so damn interesting in josephine lmao.

I mentioned this before but it's fun how our alarms were up with josephine x murphy (after ontari) because this episode shows how... emotionally inoffensive she is, in a way?? she's clearly got low capacity for empathy in a way that hinders her abilities to use soft power strategies, like the ones murphy (someone who has had to rely on them) has to coach her in against abby. all because she's pretending to be someone else, which she's terrible at. once she can drop the act and be herself, aka someone with hard power, she IS dangerous and unpredictable. but not in the emotional terrain to murphy, which definitely speaks to the progression of the writers' esteem towards his character between season 3 and season 6, as I've mentioned before.

I also love the fact that she's completely genuine in her offer of immortality for both murphy and emori, despite the passing interest she's shown (because it is passing, there's The One for her), that she's shown Perceiving them but it's not used to show any negative traits... that she DOES give murphy the drives (and then things do go through). it also makes me wonder if she was reminded of herself and gabriel. not because the characters are similar in any significant way, but because of the context (grand love story, a man chasing after immortality for his love). and probably because she *is* self centered and would only interpret other people's emotions through this prism lmao.

tl;dr I love her and I think she's a very special character lol.

(236 Years Ago)

a young girl who looked about 12 years old sat in a tent looking at specimens her Father had found on the new planet that was similar to earth,however the child couldn't help but shake the bad feeling she got when team alpha had landed,the group being deployed by eligius III for a colonizing mission ,being deployed with a thousand nightblood embryos to begin a new colony,the group also being given the nightblood serum,red soon turned into black.

Nova Lightbourne was the child's name,and it had been twenty-one days since they had landed on planet alpha,she was one of the youngest members on the eligius III outpost.

The lightbourne family consisted of Nova,her older sister josephine,and her parents russel and simone lightbourne.

"Josephine!,dad wants you!" Nova yelled for her sister outside the tent,she was most likely with gabriel,atleast that's what Nova thought until her mother walked into the tent.

"Look who I found." her mother said,with Josephine in tow,Nova whined when the older girl had messed up her perfectly straightened golden brown hair.

"I am perfectly capable of talking to my daughters alone." russell said to his wife.

"Uh-huh, also perfectly

overprotective and possibly megalomaniacal." Simone replied.

"Possibly?" Josephine said,as Nova gave her father a "Shes right look".

"Stop with the hair,and Nova stop making kissy faces at Josie." Russell said to the girls.

One thing Nova loved to do was Mess with Josephine about her relationship with gabriel.

"Dad, busy." Josie said her eye twitching at Nova,who giggled slightly.

"Really? How many species have you cataloged today?"

"17, still only 3 evolutionary branches -- insect, rodent, and reptile. A few of the weirder ones are hard to classify, so I created a new taxonomic category -- Guaiwu." Josephine said.

"Hah! I beat you,I catolaloged 20." Nova said,As stated before, she was one of the youngest of the eligiouse III ,she did what any normal child would do,explore.

Josephine had tried to hide her smile,but failed ruffling her sisters hair once again.

"Hey!" Nova exclaimed as Josiephine plucked out a hair,it was a small white strand, however the two girls didn't really notice as they teased eachother.

"Guaiwu?" Their mother said cutting off their rambling.

"Freaks in Chinese,Well, Mandarin, to be exact,One of them eats a berry that tastes like cotton candy." Josephine said,while Nova started drawing in her journal.

However when she does its like a daze,ever since they came to alpha,her once colorful and childlike drawings became dark and realistic , but the scary part was that they come true , it happend just as it is drawn,and this time she was scared.

Because this time on the page the drawing showed nothing but death,her sister and mother being one of the many bodies.

Nova then snapped out of her daze when her mother spoke.

"You tried it? Josie, how many times do I need to tell you-- " Simone said concerned.

"I didn't try it,I made the kids do it,Leelee And Nova loved it."

"How long ago?"Simone said,checking her youngest for any symptoms,however she too seemed to look past the white strands of hair slowly replacing her child's brown locks.

"Mom, if it were poisonous, they'd be dead by now." Josie said as Nova put her hand over her heart giving an offended look.

"Mhmm,I'll go check on the other children , Get me a sample to analyze." simone replied going outside.

"What?" Josephine asked as their father stared at them.

"Do you remember when I told you why I became an astronomer?" Russell said,playfully glaring when his youngest groaned.

" Oh, here we go,Yes,You wanted to prove there's no God too bad Nietzsche beat you to it when he said, 'Gott Ist Tot' -- 'God is dead', Can I go now?" Josephine said to their father.

"What would you say if I told you that being here in this miraculous place makes me question that?" russell

" I'd say, not everything that's miraculous is a miracle." Josephine said,while Nova just stared at her sister as Russel spoke up again.

"Hey, give Dr. Santiago some space, okay? I'm serious, kiddo, We're building a sanctuary for the human race here,Last thing I need is a brokenhearted geneticist,Copy?" Russell said,Nova made kissy faces at Josephine,laughing when she tickled her.

"Nova and I have a name for this place." Josie said changing the subject.

"I don't know, I think Alpha is pretty hard to beat." Their dad said.

"The latin root of sanctuary." josie stared.

"Sanctum!" Nova exclaimed,doing the jaz hands.

" Josephine Ada Lightbourne and Nova Prim lightbourne, I do believe you two just named our new world,Serious about Gabriel, josie." Their dad said,as Nova groaned as her hair was once again messed up.

And with that Nova ran off,Not noticing as her golden brown locks had been turning a snowy white as the sun turned a deep red.

......

A cave that glowed red had attracted the girl,feeling a calling she entered the cave.

As she walked further into to the cave she almost shit herself,a fucking dragon stared right at her,yes a dragon a real one,like the ones you here about in stories.

She would have ran for it,but she was frozen,and she rather not be eaten.

The dragon snorted,putting its face near hers,giving Nova a chance to see the eggs that laid beneath the large beast.

"Your beautiful,Im sensing your a girl , so what about the name,sapphire?" Nova asked nervously.

The dragon then nuzzled her large head against the girls cheek,guess she liked it.

---------------

"The Eligius Corporation wanted to find new worlds to tap for oil, after Earth's oil had been depleted,Eligius I was sent to colonize and study five sites,so Phase One of the mission was to test whether a settlement could successfully survive on the world,This also included studying the lifeforms on the new world, The second phase was to populate and build a sanctuary for the human race." Nova read from her journal as Sapphire snorted.

"For this reason, the team consisted of the families and embryos were sent to further increase the population,They also used Becca's cybernetic implant technology known as Memory Drives in order to keep log of their findings,Mission Team Alpha was the team sent to site Alpha, a moon in a binary star system,thats us sapphire."Nova said explaining why they had came to the planent in the first place,wincing as the pain in her body returned.

"Due to the radiation caused by the two suns, members of the team were given Nightblood-" Nova was then cutoff as a lood boom shook the cave.

Sapphire started freaking out,it was then that Nova said her goodbyes and rushed to camp.

The bad feeling had never left her stomach as she saw her sister and Gabriel.

"Josie,Gabe!,What was that?" Nova yelled as Josephine brought her sister under her arm in a protective like stance.

"Jesus Khaleesi your hair,did you find some kind of dye or somthing?" Josie said with a questioning voice using Nova's nickname that she had given to her as a baby.

However Nova was confused, what was she talking about?, her thinking however was cutoff as Gabriel spoke.

"Have you ever heard anything like that before?" Gabriel questioned.

" No one has,It was a sonic anomoly probably caused by molecular vibrations in the air and trees, Where's my dad? He'll know what I'm talking about,Mom? Mom! Mom, mom... Dad, what are you doing?" Josephine yelled as they entered the camp, the oldest girl rushing to their mother.

Nova froze as she saw her parents come out of the tent,her mother first,falling to the ground as josephine reached her,before she took one last breath as josephine held onto her.

Nova then let out a loud scream when their father slashed at her,a long cut ran from her neck to her left arm,it would forever leave a scar.

Josephine pushed Nova when their father slashed at her once again,however this time it was josephine's neck,the girl falling to the ground with a thud.

The twelve year old screamed out loud, launching herself backwards as her older sister fell to the ground,rushing behind a tree as gunshots and pain filled groans filled the air.

"Sanctum is mine,Sanctum is mine! " Russel chanted,shooting his gun some more.

"Run! Run!" Gabriel yelled,as he and others ran for safety.

Nova then ran for the cave,were sapphire awaited,her body felt like it was on fire,her wound stinging,still hearing the chanting,she picked up the pace.

Russel either killed or injured the other members of team alpha.

"Sanctum is mine!" Their father had yelled once more.

Josephine was glad her little sister was safe,her heart finally giving out.

.....

As Nova made it to the cave still crying,sapphire had awoke from her slumber,licking the girls wounds.

"What am I gonna do now?" Nova cried out ,her father still out of his mind,It wasn't until she felt the pain in her body flare up,that she ended up letting out a loud scream as her body fell to the ground,it was as if she was on fire,but she couldn't move as she let out more screams.

it went on and on until the red sun passed hours later.

The girl was left panting as she laid with sapphire who had a look of worry,for a dragon she showed much compassion.

"What?" Nova questioned as Sapphire nudged her head over and over,The girl was tired,her body still shaking from what had happened,black blood staining her clothing and splattered across her face.

It wasn't unill somthing caught her eye,on the reflective surface of one of the many small crystals that lingered in the cave was Nova staring at herself.

And her now snow white hair,no more Golden brown locks in sight.

---------------

Suddenly laughter was heard as the group looked at a stairway,a woman with hair that was as white as snow with a tinge of blonde stood at the top with a child right by her side.

Bellamy and her had locked eyes,and instead of focusing on Murphy,who looked beyond saving,he focused on her.

More children then rushed out laughing,however the woman rushed towards them,her face amazed as she stared at the strangers.

Her amazment then turned into a glare as she looked towards the cuffs put on Kaylee,who the group had taken prisoner.

"Its okay rose,dont be afraid." Kaylee said to the little girl poking her head out from behind Nova's legs.

Rose was one of the many children of sanctum, she also happened to be the god daughter of Nova.

Two roars,a Purr like sound,and a howl scared the group,As a lion,Panther,and a wolf came out of one of the buildings crouching by Nova,who petted all of them with a kind smile.

When bellamy took a closer look , he saw a dragon around her neck,a real one,you would only see them in stories,yet here one was,alive and breathing.

"Im Nova , Nova Lightbourne , welcome to sanctum."

The family from the picture,one of the names on the spine of the childish book,it was her,although in the picture she was younger,her hair snow white instead of golden brown,oh and she should have been around 200,as in not alive.

Are time difference's possible on different planets? The group thought as they stared at the strangers.

-------

Nova isn't to much of talker,like she is but she isn't,i dont think she's gonna  have alot of dialoge in the first few chapters,cause Im trying to fit her into the story,and tryna figure out ,does she say this or that,you feel me.

Writing is fun,but it can also be a hassle lmao.

[sxmthingwicked]

@reveriemxses

The car right was silent at those moments.

Josephine's hand rested on the window, as her eyes traced and followed every tree and rock that passed. They were just shy of the cabin, needing only twenty more minutes to make it there. She would feel more afraid, she thought, had she come here alone. Which made Henry's presence next to her all the more meaningful.

Things had changed between them, that was for sure. The kiss they shared, the love that finally confessed, it made their bond all the stronger. "It means a lot to me that you're here... really." Josephine expressed, smiling. The sky was gray in color and Josephine found herself wondering if they were going to be caught in a storm. "Crawford's parents gave me a key, they said we should stay as long as we need to.'' The woman informed. It hurt her to lie to them but...if there was something more, something other worldly about their sons death...they deserved to know.

Not that they would believe them, Josephine was sure of that, but it still mattered. "I haven't been up to the cabin since he died...how long has it been for you?'' She asked, knowing that Henry and Crawford were just as close to one another as they were to Josephine. This was going to be difficult, yet Josephine knew that it had to be done.

For Crawford.

[sxmthingwicked]

Josephine smiled as she watched him walk toward the kitchen, the domesticity of the situation not being lost on her. It was just like this, when they first moved in together. The sun shining in...the goofy shenanigans before starting the day...the dates. It was all so perfect. Josephine fought with herself, wishing to see how they had managed to stay separated for so long.

Feeling the chill that settled on her body, the woman came to see how much she had missed him physically too. His hold, his broad chest...it made her feel hot all over. Josephine rose from her bed, taking one of Theo's discarded shirts in her hands and putting it on. She rose up, leaning against the headboard. "You look better." She said, referring to that fact that he actually looked more rested, but also that she just melted when she looked at Theo. "I should lull you to sleep more often." Josephine laughed, taking the cup into her hands.

"We haven't been to Lucy's in a while...think they still have that table by the window? Where...where we went out to dinner the first time?"

“Aside from putting handcuffs on people, it’s the most physical contact I’ve had with anyone. You would have had a better chance at getting me to sell my kidneys than letting you go last night.” Theo shifted a little, just enough that he could drape his arm completely over her and allow himself to be as close to Josephine as possible. As tired as he felt, going out sounded like a good idea, more so as a date. “Could go to that little Italian place by the park like we use to.”

The blonde smiles when she kisses him and he returns it quite happily before settling his head back down on the pillow. “Let me make us coffee first.” He manages to pull himself out of bed, slowly but surely and moves into the kitchen. His body is aching and he feels worse for wear, he could probably sleep for hours on end but he’d much rather spend time with her. Theo pours them both a cup of coffee and takes them back into the bedroom and sits on the edge of the bed with both cups in his hands.

[sxmthingwicked]

The quite that came after was not something that Josephine was prepared to face. It was achingly familiar, so much so that Josephine thought that the previous argument never happened. That she never even brought forth the idea of divorce and that she and Theo were just as happy as they had always been. But... nothing was the same...and Josephine wondered if it was ever going to be.

Morning came, the sun beaming through the curtains and basking the couple in it's orange glow. Josephine began to stir once the body next to her did. Her dark eyes were greeted with the wooden ceiling, as her face stretched with a yawn. Soon, Josephine saw that Theo was awake. "Hey..." She said, gently. It was a reflex at this point in their marriage...to greet one another sweetly in the morning. Josephine willed her body to lean on her arm, her body turned to the side, as her hand was placed gently on his chest.

"How'd you sleep?"

The blonde does his best to keep awake, becoming harder when he feels her warmth beside him in the bed, when she cradles his head against her chest and runs her fingers through his hair. He starts losing the battle and his eyes begin rolling in the battle, it’s the humming that finally settles his racing mind enough for him to lose his fight against sleep. It’s the deepest sleep he’s had in weeks, the first time he doesn’t have a nightmare or so much as twitch in his sleep. Theo feels it all the next day however, it’s all caught up to him, his head thumping, his body aching, almost wincing as he rolls on to his side.

His vision blurs as he finally opens his eyes, staring at the clock on the night stand until his vision narrows out clearly. He wants to push out of bed and eat, shower, but he can’t muster the energy and instead just pulls the covers further over himself and closes his eyes. Theo knows the longer he sleeps that the worse for wear he’s going to feel, he knows that his body is only going to ache so much more because now his wall is back down, he’s not putting up a facade.

Josephine felt her breathe catch once they entered the room. Memories of when they first moved in after the wedding...the days when they were unburdened and happy. Once could wonder what happens after that bliss. Does it really get lost in the ether of troubles or is it the people that become the ether? Seeing Theo just drop his body against the bed was both endearing and heartbreaking. Josephine could only imagine the stress he must be going through. The woman wastes no more time and takes the spot right next to her husband.

It was almost like she never left.

"I promise...I'll be here in the morning.'' Josephine said, cooing. Noticing Theo's constant battle to stay away, she gently cradled his head to her chest, combing her fingers gently through his hair. She always used to do this when he was nervous, when those cases just became too much and he needed to be pulled back. Her own eyes began to feel heavy, her heart beat steady under Theo's ear.

"Sleep, baby...we'll talk again in the morning.'' Josephine murmured, beginning to hum a quiet melody.

“Well you shouldn’t feel at fault, I promise.” His eyes close for a brief moment, the sound of her voice always soothing. “I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to be a burden.” Even though he knows he never could be, not to her anyway. He wanted to sleep more than anything, both his mind and body ached for it but he was never able to sleep longer than two hours. “I’ve been working myself to the bone, they don’t know any better… I don’t exactly tell them I haven’t been sleeping.” He sighs and gives in, a gentle nod of his head before he stands. He’s made his way into their bedroom and laid himself down before he’s even realised it. His body melts into the mattress, a lot softer and more comfortable than the one at the hotel he’d been staying at.

Theo waits for her because he can’t close his eyes without her in his sight, just the thought of closing his eyes without her there turns his stomach and causes him to tense up. So he waits and as soon as she comes into his line of sight, he feels his vision start to blur and sleep come on hard. “Promise you won’t leave?” He asks softly, fighting sleep when his eyes close to only flutter back open again.

"Yet I can't help but feel like I'm partially at fault. I...I haven't been doing you much favors with the divorce.'' Josephine spoke quietly, almost as if she was trying to lull him to sleep. "You didn't tell me the nightmares came back.'' She said, not to scold him but more so of an observation. Josephine gambled on what she should do next.

Her absence from Theo's life had been more than just a weekly affair. As it were, she had missed a whole bunch of things. Josephine took his hand into hers. "It's late...come on, I'll stay with you until you fall asleep." Josephine said, desperate to get him to at least get some sleep. "They've been working you to the bone...I can tell." She said. Josephine knew a thing or two about being over worked but this seemed to be another matter entirely. She wanted to ask if he had been taking his medication, if he had eaten but she decided to leave those for later. The woman smiled as gently as she could.

"I won't leave...I promise.

The blonde closed his eyes and let himself melt into the kisses and touches she placed over his face, it always settled his racing mind. He pulled himself out of his thoughts in favor of her question, once more swiping at his eyes. “A few days maybe, I don’t really know.” Theo looks to her and offers a sad smile. “Nightmares came back and I just…. I can’t stand them…. Can’t handle them.” Nightmares that were flash backs over the horrible, terrifying things he’d seen in his lifetime, all twisted and morphed into paralyzing hellish nightmares. “I know what you’re thinking, it’s not y’fault, I promise. I’m just a really broken person Josie, I always have been. Been on and off anti depressants since I was sixteen, you just make it easier to deal with.”

He had no problem voicing or showing his emotions, not with her anyway, because she made him feel safe. With everyone else, he just faked happiness, a smile here and there or a laugh, a joke made, a little goofy from time to time, it tended to be the best mask. The best facade, the best role he ever played, an Oscar worthy performance even.
