#clexa Wild West au

[femininenachos]

10 years of Clexa kisses (The Pursuit edition)

The Sanctum is decked out in surprisingly opulent style for an establishment this far out in the wilderness. The plush carpets and tasseled drapes, the crystal chandelier in the lobby, down to the snooty, crisply-uniformed staff manning the front desk could all be transported from a grand hotel in Paris or London. Or so Lexa imagines. The farthest east she’s been is Chicago, which is as near to a foreign country as she’s ever likely to get.

But that’s by the by. She isn’t here to admire the decor or the hospitality.

She has one singular concern in mind, and anticipation is coiled tight in her belly when she raps her knuckles against the door of the room at the end of the corridor.

Seconds trickle by.

While she waits, she leans a shoulder against the wall. Legs crossed at the ankles. Casual-like. Although inside her nerves are jangling like a gunslinger’s in the eerie lull before a quick draw.

She listens out for movement, hears some indistinct shuffling and scraping, then the faint patter of feet before the door is finally thrown open.

Without so much as a “howdy”, Clarke gets straight down to brass tacks. Pounces. Just grabs Lexa by the front of her blouse and yanks her inside the room, into a kiss so forceful it knocks the hat clean off Lexa’s head.

It’s more of a mauling than a kiss, but Lexa surely isn’t complaining. She’s always appreciated a girl with spirit and, heck, Clarke has it in spades. It’s only when they break for air that Lexa takes command. She spins them around and traps Clarke’s front against the closed door. Busies herself with the tiny fastenings on the dress while she sucks a possessive kiss at the top of Clarke’s spine, letting out a low growl when she can’t get the garment undone fast enough.

But Lexa triumphs eventually, shoving rough handfuls of silk from Clarke’s body, then she gets to work on loosening the stays of the corset. All the while Clarke is breathing heavily, half laughing at Lexa’s little grunts of frustration until at last she frees Clarke of the restrictive contraption, peeling it off and letting it land with a dull thud on the floor.

Lexa tugs Clarke back around by the elbow.

Only to pull in a soft gasp.

Because a perfect, narrow beam of sunlight is cast across Clarke’s features, catching her eyes and making them glow. Irises so astoundingly blue, they don’t seem real.

Lexa ain’t the religious sort, but Clarke in this light is verging on something holy.

She doesn’t know what her face is doing presently—whatever it is makes Clarke shake her head. “Don’t be looking at me like that.”

“Like what?”

“Like you intend to court me.”

Wild west AU

@femininenachos @dreamsaremywords

[bigonsarcasm]

Idea #3

What about an AU fic where Lexa is a no nonsense, cold hearted Old West bounty hunter and Clarke is a prostitute in one of the towns she frequents? Lexa finds herself feeling super protective when she finds out that Clarke is being abused by one of her patrons, a sadistic bastard from the upper class. She is able to squash these feelings by staying on the move and focusing on her work, but they come back with a vengance when she returns to find that Clarke was kidnapped at the behest of said patron. Of course the law will do nothing considering her class and occupation versus that of her kidnapper, therefore, Lexa takes it upon herself to find Clarke and bring her to safety. Anybody down for that? The evil, abusive patron can be anybody and Lexa may or may not have a g!p.

wow. okay. sure. at least 50 is a nice round number?

(i put the main focus in brackets when i start writing a thing, but sometimes that changes and i forget to update so... idk if all of those are super accurate or not? i guess we'll find out!)

Tagging: anyone who wants to do this! it's very fun! and also painful. but mostly fun! and i'm super excited for questions!

ask away! i'll answer whatever, whenever :)

ETA: still open. open forever. maybe i'll even try to keep it updated if people want that?

[clexaweekofficial]

Old Western au? There's not enough wild west clexa fics out there imo lol

Yee Haw!

[femininenachos]

Hi. I've noticed you changed the number of chapters for your fic "the pursuit". Did you change your mind about the epilogue?

I want to return to it when I feel inspired enough, but I didn’t want the 7/8 chapter count hanging over me in the meantime, considering the main story is complete and the epilogue would just be an added bonus. I do plan to write it at some point, I just don’t know when that will be, sorry!

[femininenachos]

I feel like wild west clarke is the most similar to canon; just doing shit that's clearly bad but saying well, what can you do, it's gotta be done and it's gotta be me doing it..Oh and here is a completely valid reason for my wrongdoing so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Oh for sure, this fic was an opportunity for me wallow in canon Clarke’s morally suspect, wily ways, and absolute badassery. The Wild West setting just beautifully lends itself to that too.

[femininenachos]

I feel like lexas really hesitant to let Clarke tie her up for anything because she’s been burned before and last time she walked out in her ☹️ poor yeehaw baby

Let’s just say that while Lexa forgives, she never forgets. She has to get her little digs in. Clarke might pout, but it’s the least she deserves.

[femininenachos]

When does outlaw Clarke let Lexa tie her up for fun reasons

Epilogue. Nuff said.

[femininenachos]

Was Clarke just waiting at her own grave for Lexa to show up or did she have another plan for how to tell her

She’d been sneakily surveilling Lexa’s movements and followed her. But Clarke’s backup plans have backups, so she would’ve found another way, most likely catching up with Lexa on the trail - she knew roughly where Lexa was headed, after all.

[femininenachos]

I'm jumping on the yee haw lesbians bandwagon 🤠

The pursuit has been an amazing read, thank you for blessing my timeline! 😘

Thank you, so happy you liked it! ����💜💜

This fic is a bit outside my wheelhouse (action scenes, an actual plot lol), but it’s been as fun as it was challenging to write. Gonna miss these two!

[femininenachos]

Lexa getting her little cowboy heart stomped on waking up alone and tied to the bed 😩

The comment @syngularitysyn left on AO3 sums it up nicely lol:

[femininenachos]

Okay so you know Clarke’s confusion sadness at mouth weather when she realizes Lexa betrayed her to save her people. They little heartbroken tear filled look? Well in the pursuit when Lexa sees Clarke again she’s gonna look at her the exact same way 😩 that “you left me there” looo and I am EMO ABOIT IT

I know exactly what you mean, but initially it’s more like the barely contained loathing of the first time Clarke sets eyes on Lexa after three months of living like a wild woman in the woods:

The Pursuit

~7k words, rated M.

Renowned across the frontier as one of the fastest, deadliest guns in the West, there's been no lack of adventure in the life of bounty hunter Lexa Woods. But she gets far more than she bargained for when she stops by the local saloon before taking on her next job.

Because that's when Lexa sees her.

just read the recent update of clexa wild west au why does it feel like clarke will attempt something again that will completely make lexa go feral... also is there a reason why you pinned cut to the chase hmmmm

Interesting theory…

But, honestly, there’s nothing to read into about Cut to the Chase being pinned. I have no plans to do a continuation (although that AU does live rent free in my head). I was going to put together a pinned masterpost of my fics and the tags for the extras/headcanons/playlists for ease of finding all that stuff, but I’m lazy and haven’t gotten around to it yet, so CttC remains pinned only for that reason 😄

[femininenachos]

hi! I just read the first two chapters of the pursuit for the first time and I just wanted to say that holy shit your writing style and characterization is amazing!! The way you perfectly blended the world of the 100 with the Wild West is fucking amazing, and your descriptions of the scenery and the characters is god tier. I honestly can’t wait for more !

🥹 Thank you! This fic is a real labour of love so I’m absolutely delighted to hear you’re enjoying it so far.
