💔💔🍻🍻

💔 you don't stop lovin' someone just 'cause it's over

He just needed a chance to prove it to her. That was going to be impossible though as they had decided to not contact each other for a while.

Bellamy groaned, his head falling back against the couch. Fuck, he wanted a beer. The only thing that stopped him was that he knew if he started drinking now he wouldn’t stop and he didn’t feel like dealing with a hangover on top of heartbreak.

He was brought out of his increasingly morose thoughts by the sound of his phone ringing.

🍻 drunk buck 2.0

He unlocked the door and went inside. “Eddie?” He called, closing the door behind him.

Eddie walked out of the kitchen with a curious look on his face. “Buck? What are you doing here, I thought you had to get back home.”

“We need to talk,” Buck said, herding Eddie to the couch and pointing for him to take a seat. Eddie wordlessly followed direction even though he looked at Buck with a raised brow.

20 questions For Fic Writers

tagged by @queen-of-the-wallflowers15 – thank you so much darling!!

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 76 on my main account, 3 on my secondary

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 889,141

3. What fandoms do you write for? The 100, Stranger Things, and Six of Crows are my main three. On my semi-secret 🌶️ AO3 account, I did one Until Dawn AU and I could see that account exploring a few more fandoms. As for my main, I'm not sure if it'll change up any time soon!

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

"Stardust, In You and In Me" [Bellarke] | wc: 32.7k | rated: T | tags: soulmate/soulmark au, college au, slow burn "I Heard You" [Mike x Eleven] | wc: 24.6k | rated: G | tags: college au, fluff, dating "Traces of You" [Bellarke] | wc: 23k | rated: T | tags: royalty au, arranged marriage au, slow burn "In the Gravity of You" [Bellarke] | wc: 7.6k | rated: T | tags: sci-fi setting, fake dating, fluff "Prisoner's Dilemma" [Bellarke] | wc: 2.3k | rated: G | tags: canonverse, season 5 au, hostage taker and his GIRLFRIEND

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I try to! I've recently fallen a bit behind, but I'd love to wrap them up before the end of the year. It's rare enough (at least for me) to get any comments so I do try to make sure I follow up even it's just a quick thanks!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? For one of @troped-fanfic-challenge 's old Chopped Challenges, there was an angst round and I absolutely wrote the most angsty thing I've ever written.

"and the road gets tough" [Harper x Monty] | wc: 4.5k | rated: M | tags: roadtrip au, season 4!Harper, warnings for implied character death

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? A lot of my old Stranger Things fics are pretty fluffy, but I'd say that my Bellarke/Gilmore Girls AU is definitely a pretty specific happy ending. Especially in terms of how happy I am I guess with capturing the feel I wanted for it!

"dance away your fear of love" [Bellarke] | rated: T | wc: 6.1k | tags: Gilmore Girls AU, exes to friends to lovers, pining, co-parenting

8. Do you get hate on fics? I never really have, I feel thankful! I get the occasional odd comment but nothing has ever come across as actual "hate" in my opinion.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do! Sort of. I'm a bit of a fade to black writer on my main account. I'm someone that's very comfortable with sex being in stories, whether simply for pleasure or for plot/character devices, but I actually rarely write it myself. It doesn't always feel authentic for my own stories or necessarily for it to be explicit. Except of course for the fore-mentioned 🌶️ account, that naturally is extremely explicit lol. And for that smut, it's more the themes that I try to push than the actual smut itself.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? If I'm remembering correctly, in middle school I tried writing a Harry Potter x Young Dracula AU. But I'm not very interested in crossovers in general!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not to my knowledge! Hopefully not!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I haven't, or at least no one has ever reached out if they have. It's such a cool concept though! Fanfic is such a cool community overall!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? So approximately 15+ years ago, an old friend and I co-wrote a "book" together (it was absolutely just OC-based fanfic for Peter and the Starcatchers and definitely not actually as original as we thought). And I'd get feedback from my friends for our old OC-insert Harry Potter stories, but I did write those on my own. But all of that was in middle school so it's been a long time!

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship? I'm pretty equally feral for Bellarke (The 100) and Scully/Mulder (The X-Files), even though I don't write anything for the latter!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Let's pretend in good faith I'll finish all of the ones I've started. Though this might be awarded to my Bellarke, dark magic fantasy AU one. I have a lot of cool ideas for it but I have a hunch it'll be one that's always out of reach of being completed. Also seemingly no one checked it out compared to my usual fics so I don't think anyone is curious, which shouldn't ever really be a deciding factor but never helps!

16. What are your writing strengths? I'd definitely say world building! I'm a designer/artist/occasional photographer outside of ~fandom~ so I'm actually much more of a visual person than I am anything else. And writing gives me a chance to create the visions I have in my head! World building and atmosphere is my favorite part and I like to think it's my biggest strength! Also I like to make things feel canon, which I think I'm pretty good at.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I routinely say dialogue, though I think scalable levels of plot that feel both interesting but still fun. I'm much better at themes and main concepts than I am at smaller plot points to get there.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Probably a great idea! I've just never really had a need to, but I think if it fits then it's a fun detail to add. I'd just try to really make sure I did it correctly (or as close as possible).

19. First fandom you wrote for? I'm about 98% sure it was Harry Potter. Peter Pan holds a potential close second option.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? This is a tricky one, probably comes down to two for different reasons. One because it was incredibly self-indulgent and an AU of one of my favorite movies. The other because it was my longest fic and I actually think I maintained the quality the whole way through, while also finishing it at a normal pace!

[personrecommends]

I just sobbed my heart out

I do Not (I very mich do If u Like Angst) recommend listening to Matilda (Harry Styles) on repeat whilst reading this fic unless you are prepared to sob profusely

Bellarke, exes to lovers, 88k words & 10 chapters, definition of love, omfg I sobbed my heart out when I read this it actually isn’t normal whatsoever

Chasin’ You by burninghoneyatdusk

[korradoras]

TOP SHIPS OF ALL TIME:

this is in no order but it will be numbered for my sanity.

1. slexie - mark and lexie/greys anatomy

• i am so attached to this ship, i have never sobbed so hard an my life than when i first watched the season 8 finale/season 9 premiere of greys anatomy. i still rewatch only their seasons quite often.

2. catradora - catra and adora/SPOP

• ultimate comfort ship, i rewatch she ra whenever i am going through it. i first watched it when i was 15 and i still watch it for comfort. 15 is a nostalgic age for me, she ra reminds me of what it was like before anxiety. 😩

3. korrasami - korra and asami/LOK

• another comfort ship, comfort show, etc. lok and avatar are more shows i watched when i was 15, when the pandemic hit i was almost 16. i was locked up in my room, no school, no going out, no friends. i had a basement room with a couch and a huge tv, i spent MANY weeks watching netflix on that couch and the feeling was immaculate. i rewatch the atlau shows VERY often.

4. bellarke - bellamy and clarke/the 100

• once again another comfort show, i rewatch the 100 annually and have been watching it since season 4 came out. my dad started watching it, then my mom, then my sister. it became a show we watched all together, and i had a little ritual when it came to new seasons. i am an impatient person in some ways more than others, i do not have the patience to maintain interest when watching episodes weekly but i have no issue waiting for the whole season to be out. so every year as the episodes came out, i ignored them. when they all hit netflix, i would binge. however, for season 7 of the 100 i waited 2 years. i think i was procrastinating letting it end. bellarke was THE slowburn. i was so sure they would end up together, in a way im glad they didn't, but i loved them so much. i cannot describe the way that i feel when watching them and this show.

5. clexa - clarke and lexa/the 100

• GAY SLOWBURN. y'all i have so many fics i read consistently about clexa. i have like 3 on shuffle that i've read 10 times minimum. i cry like a bitch every time i rewatch s2-3 of the 100.

6. avatrice - ava and beatrice/warrior nun

• so i had heard a lot and seen a lot about this show before i actually watched it, which was actually in january of this year, several months after the 2nd (and final 🥲) season came out. i QUICKLY fell in love w both avatrice and ava/beatrice as individuals. i also read a lot of avatrice fics and cry thinking abt it being cancelled 😭

7. stydia - stiles and lydia/teen wolf

• BEST SLOWBURN OF ALL TIMEEE. it's weird to think teen wolf ended SIX years ago, this is another show i rewatch annually and what's funny is when i was 12 watching this show i did not care for stydia. i liked scott's relationships with allison and kira, never paid much attention to stiles and lydia until i was 16/17 and i rewatched and realized that they are AMAZING.

8. sameena - sam and deena/fear street

• MORE ANNUAL REWATCH SERIES. i LOVE LOVE LOVE these movies, and when i say sam and deena i am also including sarah and hannah. ex's/enemies to lovers in HORROR? forbidden love? sapphics? say less.

9. glaggie - glenn and maggie/twd

• so this was my first ship ever. started watching this when i was 11, i watched it over and over and over, i read the first 3 compendiums of the comics, then season 7 rolled around, i watched three first episode live then never watched another episode last season 6 again.

10. delena - damon and elena/tvd

• honestly they sort of give me the ick now but 12 year old me ATE that shit up, would also like to add they were my sexual awakening. i remember watching one of their spicy scenes and feeling a little funny 🥴

11. wayhaught - waverly and nicole/wynonna earp

• hottest ship ever. i fucking love them and i still need to watch the most reason season which is not that recent.

12. (honorable mention) camren - camila and lauren/5h

• camren gets only an honorable mention bc i don't ship them anymore, but they were MY gay awakening. when i was 13 i discovered fifth harmony and, naturally, i discovered ✨camren fanfiction✨ i literally did not know i was gay until i started reading fics about them. it just clicked when i felt more reading than i ever had for real life boys. :) anyways i don't support shipping real people anymore at my ripe age of 18.

[vivitalks]

omg i didn't see that you did a writer's ask game! hopefully it's not too late to send asks? if not, may i ask 1, 7, 12, 15, & 5 about "blow a kiss to concern"? thank youuu 💙

i reblog a writer's game and then don't answer this ask for several days SORRY! love you here i am now let's go

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?) this is a tough question because i write in a lot of different fandoms. however, i am going to give two answers. one is the stydia fic blow a kiss to concern (which will be discussed later) because it has a lot of tropes i enjoy - driving, flirting, canon compliance, fluff with some angst, all the good stuff. the second is my kate bishop & peter parker series young & not too wise which has two fics - one of kate and peter meeting before the events of the hawkeye show, and one of them meeting right after. one thing i really enjoy doing is taking two characters who haven't really met or interacted but have the grounds for a fascinating interaction to meet and talk. so like, post-nwh peter has all this trauma from being a superhero, and pre-hawkeye kate is all starry-eyed wanting to be a superhero, and i loved the idea of those two perspectives meeting, two young new yorkers with such different life experiences. i do this kind of pseudo-crossover a lot and it's always so much fun.

7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of? i don't worldbuild that often. i am a big big fan of writing things that are canon compliant or very slightly canon divergent (one character lives instead of dies, a relationship is broken up instead of still together, that kind of thing) where the broader universe is still intact, because i feel like in fictional media, part of what's so fun and interesting about writing the characters is dealing with the shit they've gone through and experiences they've had as a result of the universe they exist in.

that being said, i did a smidge of worldbuilding (really more like world-expanding) for my bellarke fic taking the world off your shoulders, particularly the couple of grounder villages they wind up in, and that was fun. the 100 established this bit of canon where only the warrior grounders speak english but then we didn't get a lot of opportunities to see the communities of non-warrior grounders who didn't speak english at all, so i especially liked dipping my toes into sonia's village and exploring a community of people who aren't involved at all in the grounder violence/war and are just peaceful and self-sustaining

12. Are there any tropes you used to dislike but have grown on you? mmmm i'm thinking about it but can't come up with any. i think i've probably gotten to like more rarepairs, but that's not a trope (maybe just an influence of hanging out with you lol).

15. What’s your favorite AU that you’ve written? like i said before i don't write a lot of AUs outside of your garden-variety canon divergence, so my options for answers here are limited. i guess my favorite AU is the whole post-age of ultron series i wrote where everything is the same except that pietro lives (bc seriously wtf was that). the series is called pietro lives 'verse but it wound up becoming an entirely clint-barton-centric series and i apologize for nothing.

5. What do you wish someone would ask you about blow a kiss to concern? Answer it now! "hey raviv, what's so special about driving stick shift?" look. you'll never know. you'll never understand until you're driving a bunch of foreigners from literally any other country other than america and they suddenly go, "wait is this a manual?" and you get to very nonchalantly say "yeah it is." you just can't know the level of smug pride you get to experience when people are impressed with you for something as simple as that.

also, driving stick is an even more involved way to do the already-hella-romanticizeable act of driving, and in my experience, it is frustrating as SHIT to learn. and like, stiles loves his fucking car so fucking much. the only other person we ever see drive that car is scott (i think?), most likely because it's not something most people can do, but also because scott is like a brother to him, one of the people he loves the most in the entire world. it's a huge act of trust for stiles to let someone else drive his car. so the idea that there's a skill lydia doesn't have but wants, and only stiles can realistically teach her because he's the only one with both the know-how and the actual car to teach her with is just. very charming in its potential. plus, learning stick at ALL is really hard and it's a testament to the relationship between stiles and lydia that she isn't constantly in tears, because like. he completely believes she can do it, and she completely trusts him to teach her. I JUST THINK THEY'RE NEAT

In which Clarke runs into her ex, Bellamy Blake, at Heathrow Airport during a layover on the day before Christmas Eve, only to learn that she's stuck at the airport with him until the snowstorm lets up.

[welllpthisishappening]

She can hear voices around the corner.

Muted. Mumbled. A little desperate.

Clarke bites her lip, tugs it between her teeth and tries not to make too much noise. She can’t remember the last time she felt like she could take a deep breath, a mix of nerves and anticipation and her own internal dialogue, asking herself over and over again if this was crazy.

It might have been.

Because it’s been years. Days and weeks and months and...this is his team. 

But then Raven told her there was a job and she’d always wanted this job and she can’t remember a time when she didn’t love the game. As much as he did. Does. She knows he does.

Bellamy Blake loves baseball more than anything.

More than–

Clarke can feel her eyes widen as soon as a brand-new voice joins the conversation. Exactly the way she remembered it.

“She’s here?” Bellamy asks, and whatever answer Miller gives gets lost in the buzz between Clarke’s ears. She counts to ten, then counts down, starts again and tries to remember how important her lungs are, but then there are footsteps and more audible breathing and–

“Clarke?”

She snaps her head up, met with a slight tilt of his, curls falling towards his eyes and one side of Bellamy’s mouth tugs up before Clarke can even begin to formulate a sentence.

“Long time, no see, princess.”

Hey, been looking for that fic I once read where Bellamy was an alcoholic and was in a relationship with Clarke for a couple of years but they split and he recovered and he meets her in a coffee shop after ___ days sober and they become friends? She has Madi but is a single mom, and they text a lot in this fic.

This has been an awful, awful week. And it's not even over yet. I'm just so tired. I'm gonna hide myself in all the Bellarke fics I can get my hands on.

Btw, if anyone has any fic recs, please let me know. I'm a sucker for exes to lovers. I need the angst. So if you know any good exes to lovers fics, PLEASE help a girl out and send them my way. Old or new, doesn't matter. I just need to escape in the Bellarke fanfic world for now.

December 31: WIPs and Ideas I'm Taking Into 2023

As the year is ending, I am considering what writing projects I will try to complete next year. Will 2023 be the year I finish my WIPs? Will it at least be the year I let go of WIPs I don't care about? We'll see.

Here are (most of) my current projects and ideas--T100 only because I don't feel brave enough to even address Star Trek or other fandoms. Let's see where I am at the end of 2023.

devil's gonna get me one of these days: Southern Gothic AU; ensemble and multi-pairing; vampires, ghosts, and secrets

Troped Madness Horror Round: Harper-centric, epistolary/found footage-y

Talk About Timing in Times Like These: Bellarke, Modern AU, exes to lovers, heavy on the bitterness

And They Lived: aka the Ark Sleeping Beauty AU, Bellarke with a lot of other stuff going on

A Watch With No Hands: parts 3 and 4, the continuation of my 2019 Bellarke Big Bang, Grounder Clarke, Arker Bellamy, canon divergence

The Poly Fic: endgame Bravenlarke, modern AU, what it says on the tin

Can't Be King of the World: aka my long (long) percolating Ark AU, ensemble and multi-pairing with a lot of Wells

Sky Village: canon-divergence with rare pairs, independent delinquent village feels

Blake Siblings Summer AU: ...this is a Pete & Pete AU, if I'm brave enough to write it

Slow Summer Vibes: one step up from a PWP, Bellarke in the heat of summer

Under the Western Stars: more Bellarke modern AU angst nonsense

Kiss the Ring: canon-divergent Becho, in which they are both brutal, ruthless leaders

Jonty Dual Timeline: part modern AU, part canon-divergence, heavily S3 inspired

Sequel to How I'll Spend Through Winter: more Bellarke UST and longing, this time in high school, some Princess Mechanic

Bellarke Bingo Love Potion: Bellamy runs an antique store. Clarke takes a love potion. There's magic involved.

Dawson's Creek AU: endgame Bellarke and Murven, and in the meantime, a faithful AU for no reason at all

Documentary History of the U.S.S.S Arkadia: expanded version of my Braven fic of the same name

Reality Bites AU: as it says; Bellarke

Dollhouse AU: also as it says, ensemble/Bellarke, Bellamy as Echo and Clarke as Ballard...sort of

autumnverse fic: eternal-autumn type universe with ghosts!

oh well you've got me under your spell: an old Bellarke HS AU I always wanted to continue

Bellarke Bingo Blast: trope-heavy Bellarke friends to lovers; embarrassing how many modern AUs are on this list

South: Murven road trip that I started ages ago and might continue?

Everyone Gets Married: mostly Jonty with some Bellarke, sappy romance stuff and perhaps some talk about the concept of marriage

Bellarke Beat AU: this is from 2016, enough said

Maya & Octavia Troped: canon-divergence, post S2

Miller/Bryan Troped: canon-divergence, sometime in S3; more a universe than a plot but like an exes thing

Bellarke Invents Soulmates: triple-timeline, reincarnation and soulmates (former Troped round)

Miller/Bellamy Road Trip: but also they're on the run from the law, danger and UST

T100 + 3% Fusion: Princess Mechanic; 3%-like plot but in T100's universe

Fantasy Heist: delinquents on a magical hunt to save one of their own, still working out the kinks on the universe. And the plot (former Troped round)

Kane/Luna Ark AU: exes and magic and hints of political intrigue perhaps; horror

Slasher: half-baked old Troped Horror idea, heavy on the tropes, and I suppose on the bloodshed

Camping Trip Meta Horror: some horror tropes in the woods

Tropical Horror: something about this island isn't right

Troped Horror 2022: the fic I didn't finish because I thought it was going in a bad direction. Only hints: another slasher, Octavia-centric

Party Fic: Indulgent, stylized, multi-pairing HS AU

Modern Band AU: Bellarke and other pairings, rival bands, minor genre/form experimentation

...I didn't specify but some of these are one-shots and some multi-chapters and if a multi-chap isn't started, I can only promise to start, not finish it in 2023

💔💔💔💔💔💔😱😱😱😱😱

💔 you don't stop lovin' someone 'cause it's over

Bellamy was fucking miserable.

Ten days, twelve hours, and fifty two minutes. That’s how long he and Clarke had been broken up and he wasn’t doing well. Quite honestly, he felt numb. All he could think about was Clarke saying, “This isn’t working out,” over and over again. All he could think about was everything he should have said, how he should have fought harder and asked to work things out. Bellamy knew that Clarke was the love of his life, he was sure of it. So the thought that he was going to spend the rest of his life without her? Harrowing.

He still couldn’t quite believe it. They had been so good, so solid. The six months they dated were the best of Bellamy’s life. Even that last month when they hardly saw each other because their work schedules put them on opposite shifts, even when they fought after long days when exhaustion pushed you to snap over things that wouldn’t normally bother you. He’d take fighting with Clarke over not having her in his life. Without her he felt empty. Bellamy assumed that that feeling would lessen as the days, the months, the years went by, but he didn’t want it to. He liked the pain, it reminded him that it had been real.

So, that’s where he was. It was Friday night and he was sitting on his couch, staring at pictures on his phone of him and Clarke, wishing that things had gone differently.

😱 stiles didn't know they were dating

Derek was the first one to speak. “Excuse me,” He mumbled, avoiding eye contact with everyone as he slipped out of the house as fast as he could without seeming desperate, taking off towards the woods. He was going to run until he couldn’t anymore. Maybe then the painful ache in his chest would disappear.

“Derek!” Cora called after him, but he ignored her.

He pushed his body forward as he felt the shift coming on and soon it was four paws hitting the ground instead of two feet. He ran and ran, pushing himself further and further, trying to outrun the gaping wound in his heart.

How could he have been so foolish?

Eventually he came upon a clearing, a place he used to go when he was young and his family was still alive. It was his favourite spot of the preserve, always quiet.

He collapsed on the grass, huffing out a breath as he swiped at his chest, trying to make the ache go away, whining when it didn’t. He couldn’t help it, he threw his head back and howled, an agonized, miserable sound.

Eventually the howl tapered off and he was left whimpering, distressed, devastated, and alone.

make me write, round two!

[bellarkefanfictions]

Hi! I'm looking for a fic where Clarke left town but the comes back and Octavia and Aurora hate for breaking Bellamy's heart. Her and belly get back together and he has a son that then starts to call her mom. When Aurora and Octavia find out about the child calling her m there is like a huge argument at like family dinner maybe Thanksgiving or something . I can't really remember anything else and hope this is enough.

I would take it back (For just another minute, just another chance with you)

[probably-voldemort]

where you never, never have to worry about grown up things again

a clurphy / bellarke fic - rated M

Maybe it should have fazed Clarke that she was currently in Neverland on a quest to save the daughter she'd given up from said daughter's evil grandmother who was currently a teenager.   Maybe it should have fazed her that she was on said quest with her daughter's sometimes evil adoptive mother, her own estranged parents who were the same age as her, her ex's almost definitely still evil sister, and fucking Captain Hook.  Maybe it should have fazed her that she kind of sort of maybe probably had a thing going on with a certain one handed pirate.

Maybe all of that should have fazed her, but, at this point, it was just another fucking Tuesday.

So sit back, relax, and get ready to read this awesome trope again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again….

how I learned to stop worrying and love the apocalypse by @kindclaws

The 100 | Bellarke | Rated M | 16.4k | Major Character Death

Bellamy helps her climb up the last stretch of the dropship’s height. From here they can see the crater they left on the surrounding forest. The nearest trees are all blown back, their roots half-exposed in a surge of soil, their trunks blackened with soot. Looking at the graveyard of bones makes Clarke sick to her stomach so she looks up instead towards a brutal horizon. Praimfaya glows orange in the distance.

“Is this what you saw, the first time you died?” Bellamy asks. He looks kind of pale, but that might just be the light refracting against the visor of his radiation suit.

“Yeah,” Clarke says, as casually as she can manage. It’s a lie. It looked a lot worse from the radio dish platform, because it was closer and more terrifying and she’d just watched her closest friends explode in the sky. But it seems kinder not to say all that. At least Bellamy will deteriorate faster than her, if this Nightblood stuff works. She doesn’t want to die first and leave him alone. She’s been the one who lives longest and it wasn’t worth it.

The Nurse at Fort Vaux by @the-most-beautiful-broom

The 100 | Bellarke | Rated T | 11.2k | Violence, Major Character Death

Bellamy and Clarke were not meant to be–the war to end all wars made sure of that. Bellamy went to the front, and Clarke joined the Nurse’s Corps, but it seems that fate has brought them back together again (and again and again and again).

Break Some Bread for All My Sins by @she-who-the-river-could-not-hold

The 100 | Bellarke | Rated T | 9.5k

Clarke’s been a hitwoman for a while now, so tonight shouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary. Find her mark, complete the job. But things go awry when her old partner and boyfriend, Bellamy Blake, intervenes. Everything falls apart, and then she wakes up and it happens all over again. Each repeated day forces her to confront parts of herself she’s pushed away and somehow Bellamy is at the center of all it. But how much can she handle over and over again before she breaks?

Clarke and Bellamy are over and he has moved on, it’s just something Clarke has to accept. They have a job to do and that’s what is important now. They spend the entire day at odd’s with one another, being distant and lying about their true feelings. When they’re stuck in a time loop because of their inability to be honest, though, it’s time to start admitting some things - and it turns out to be a little harder than expected.

Clarke Griffin, a medic from the tribe of Arkadia was on the run after the fall out of Mount Weather.

After word spread of her title of Wanheda, the blame of the lives lost in the battle had been sprung on her.

She doesn’t expect to run into Bellamy Blake, a warrior from Azgeda — who happens to be her ex lover. He learns of her issues and vows to help her stay safe. It makes sense, that she would be repeating the same day over and over again to make up for the time they spent apart.

After months of being broken up, Clarke and Bellamy have been reassigned to finish one of their old cases. Things are hard enough with having her ex as her partner again, but the fact she’s still totally into him makes things more complicated.

Did she mention the fact that she is also reliving the same day over and over?

Things are about to get messy.

When Reggie launches a particularly ill-advised prank war at HGC Ranch, Luke’s fully prepared to take it in stride.

When the days start looping, though, he begins to suspect that this might all be a little bit above his head.

In other words, he’s at least 78% sure that the time loop isn’t a direct result of Reggie’s pranks.

Maybe 77%.

Oh, well.

At least he’s not in it alone.

Last summer didn’t end on a positive note for Carrie Wilson - she and her girlfriend broke up on the last night of camp, and she’s been miserable since. But it seems that the universe is intent on having her fix that this summer. Even if that means she has to live through the same day over and over and over again until she does.

Over time, Camp Phantom has simply become known as a selective summer camp: one that took only the kids that Caleb saw promise in. And Caleb wasn’t exactly lying. He really did take only the ones he saw promise in, he simply looked for different traits than others might.

For example, say, hypothetically, a boy who could see the future. Or, hypothetically, a girl who could interact with ghosts. Or, hypothetically, a boy who could summon objects to him with a simple thought. Or, and this is completely hypothetical mind you, a boy who could manipulate time.

Those might be some traits that Caleb saw promise in. Just, like, as examples.

It’s the first day of their second week at Camp Carolling (they’re spending an entire month, and they’re getting paid to be there!) when Reggie gets a little lost in the woods. During this misadventure into the woods, he finds an egg shaped rock, an inhabited cabin that may or may not be riddled with signs, and something that might be magic. He probably doesn’t get paid enough to discover magic.

or, when they were thirteen years old, four boys met at camp carolling and eventually became a band that almost became something legendary. now, all four boys are coming back as counselors, three boys in one band and one boy in his own solo act.

so begins the reunion, though it doesn’t go how any of them imagine.

This is not how Alex pictured his summer going.

Luke looks away from the fire, the amber reflection of it dancing in his eyes, and he looks at her for a long minute. “I just wanted you to know,” Julie says. The haze grows, the sleep comes, and Julie knows how she’ll wake in the morning. But she knows that the daughter of Apollo and the son of Aphrodite have born enough alone, and in this moment of ash and haze and orange and smoke, this moment that’s neither regret nor mystery, they do not have to shoulder it alone.

Alex runs his fingers through Willie’s hair. “I think it’s best to just leave them to their own prank war at this point. Let’s not forget that time Julie put hot sauce in the coffee pot and my mouth was on fire for an entire hour.”

“You’re exaggerating, Alex-”

“I most certainly am not,” Alex cuts Reggie off.

“Or how about the time Luke tried to put glitter in Julie’s bed,” Carrie joins in, “but got my bed instead? I can appreciate some glitter, but even I know when enough is enough.”

“Suffice it to say,” Willie finishes after they’ve passed around a dozen or so more memories of pranks from the summer, “we’re all done being your collateral damage. Whatever Julie has planned for you tomorrow, Luke, you’re on your own.”

Julie blinked as she stared at the place Euterpe had disappeared. What did that even mean? What journey? Old places and lost faces? What was she talking about? But before she could dwell on the questions swirling around in her mind, the sky full of stars began to move, shifting in place and descending until they were all around her. Julie felt her feet leave the ground as she rose up and up. One star in particular was burning brighter than the others, growing bigger in front of her.

It grew and grew, until the light was blinding and Julie had to throw a hand up against the harsh light. She closed her eyes as the light surrounded her and then she was falling. Falling down, down, down.

Twenty years ago, when the clocks changed from 11:59pm on December 31st, 1999, to 12:00am on January 1st, 2000, the world ended, exactly as the doomsdayers had predicted. Now, there are only a few livable months left on Earth, and the privileged are evacuating for a life in space, abandoning the planet.

But not everyone has given up.

Clarke was only three when the world ended, and she’s spent most of her life in her mother’s lab. Now, as the last space ships are preparing to leave, her mother’s machine is finally ready, and Clarke and her mother are heading back in time to try to stop the apocalypse from happening in the first place.

An attack on the lab leads to Clarke heading back to 1995 on her own, and the past isn’t quite how Clarke’s vague memories from the beginning of her life paint it. Clarke soon discovers that not only did the machine do more than just send her back in time, but she wasn’t, in fact, sent back alone.

Will she be able to stop the apocalypse before the clock strikes midnight? Or are some parts of history unchangeable?

Woke up to the sound of Violet working on her latest invention. I asked her what it is, but she wouldn’t say a thing – just that it’s important. Whatever it is, it’s enormous, taking up nearly the entire room – a great contraption of tubes and gears and beakers and crystals. Just looking at it makes me feel dizzy.

I think I’ll spend the day in the library; perhaps that will be far enough away that the clanging and banging will be somewhat muffled. Something tells me that it won’t be, though.

Murphy was going to die. Any day now it was going to happen. He hadn't really come to terms with dying in a creepy lighthouse basement. He's always thought he'd have a more exciting death. But he had an unlimited amount of whiskey and a stomach that hadn't tasted even a crumb in days, so it wasn't like he was really sober enough to put too much thought into how he was going to die.

And then he starts hallucinating Clarke, who is convinced she's the one hallucinating him, and suddenly dying drunk in a lighthouse bunker isn't as boring a way to go as it had once seemed.

The other seven will be left to wonder: who among them is the killer?

And then Halloween will begin again. And again and again, until the mystery is solved and the murder averted at last.
