no cause actually what if the writers had kept the “i’d pick you first” thing going between clarke and raven until it became their official mantra - like “together” for bellarke and “responsibility” for the blake siblings - and every time clarke has to make a hard call with raven there and prioritises her safety even when raven protests, she’d repeat the words between them and raven would listen. and then after the time skip it’s raven who says the words and picks clarke first and it hurts because they’re not kids anymore, because they’re both ancient and too young for all this, and because it’s been so long since someone picked clarke first.

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.

Murphy & Raven | The Archer

[drxnkflattery]

xavier and nicole have the same dynamic as raven and murphy. this is partially bc xavier looks and sounds SO MUCH like murphy, but also that suit shopping scene?? they’ve got the “ik you’ve done bad things but i also trust you completely” vibe

[thstarsofsilver]

my friends told me a while back that i was a raven reyes. as in, they said if we were in that kind of situation i’d be like raven or something and since i have never watched the 100 i just have to ask - is that a good thing?

(pls say it is)

[blazethecheeto]

have you ever watched the 100? if not, i would recommend checking it out! it's a really good dystopian show :p

I ACTUALLY AM WATCHING THE 100 RIGHT NOW!!!

i'm on the season 1 finale, but i've really enjoyed it so far. i'm invested already, it's a really cool concept.

--

The pod jerks as you come to a sudden stop inside of the transport ship, Eligius IV. You jolt forward, reaching your hand out to place on the metal wall to keep from bumping into it. A moment of silence consumes the group of you, adrenaline freshly pumping.

Emori lets out a sigh of relief, and possibly disappointment from her failure to properly land the ship. If it weren’t for Raven, you could be in a much worse situation right now.

“That was fun.” Murphy remarks, breathing heavily. “We should do that again sometime.”

The others sigh, you roll your eyes. You press the release latch on your helmet, carefully pulling it off your head to not smack yourself in the face with the long rubber part. Once you’ve got it resting on your lap, you look to Raven, who’s turned around in her seat to see you.

“You’re okay?” She asks, space helmet resting on the top of her thighs.

“As good as I can be.” You smile, giving her a wink.

“Okay, let’s go find that fuel.” Bellamy says, getting up from where he was sitting. He’s the first to reach the latch in the middle of the room, twisting the handle and pulling the door up. He glances at Raven. “On me.” He then begins to go down the ladder. “Suits off in the cargo hold.”

You each follow behind him one at a time, with you letting everyone else go first. You pass the helmet down to Monty, who places it off to the side, while you climb down the ladder. At the bottom, you shed the orange jumpsuit, folding it neatly and setting it in a pile on the floor, helmet on top.

The moment you step out of the ship, you can hear an alarm blaring from inside the Eligius IV. Bellamy tentatively approaches the airlock door, peering through the windows to see if there’s anyone coming in your direction.

“Come on. We got to move fast.” He says.

Echo pulls out her sword, causing the sound of metal on metal to fill up the small space. She shares a long look with Bellamy. “We don’t know what we’re walking into.”

Bellamy presses the red button for the airlock, allowing the doors to open, and the alarm to become louder. You reach for Raven, bringing her closer to you.

“That’s just annoying.” Murphy says.

“If someone was here, they’d shut it off, right?” Harper asks, Bellamy looks back at the rest of you, before heading into the hallway.

Raven pulls away from you, jogging to catch up with Emori. “Hey, not you. You should stay in the pod and run a full diagnostic check.” She looks back at it. “That was a big impact. We don’t know if we took on any damage.”

Murphy stops, turning halfway to listen in on the conversation. “I can, uh, stay back and help.” He offers.

The three of you look at him, but Emori speaks first. “How, by making stupid little jokes?”

“Don’t take it out on me because you screwed the pooch in your big debut, okay?” He turns fully, taking a step in your direction.

Bellamy comes back around, grabbing onto the back of Murphy’s shoulder to pull him away. “Hey, hey…” He motions. “Harper can help Emori. Everyone else move, now.” 

With this being mostly settled, the conversation is done. Emori heads into the ship, with Harper brushing past Murphy to join her. You keep a steady hand on Raven’s lower back, guiding her with you down the long hallways. 

Bellamy takes it easy around every corner, being sure to sweep the area with his flashlight first, and entering the space second. “This place is like a maze.” He murmurs, shuffling to a stop when you reach a door. His light fixated on the words above. “No inmates past this point.”

“Inmates?” Echo asks, face twisted.

“Prison labor.” Monty answers, causing Bellamy to look his way. “The mining missions were dangerous. They sent people they thought were disposable.”

“Sounds familiar.” Murphy says, referring to how a hundred of you got sent to the ground as a sacrifice because the Ark was running out of air. You’re still bitter about it, too, but not to his extent.

“Relax. Our ancestors were prisoners a hundred years ago.” Raven tells him, moving forward through the group, leaving you in the back. “Their descendants on that transport ship are survivors, just like us.” When she approaches the door, it opens automatically. “The bridge is this way. Come on.”

She manages to lead you through the last of the hallways effortlessly, straight to the bridge, like a moth to a flame. She’s always drawn toward electronics. The door entering the room has been ripped open with brute force, the metal has been mangled and twisted to have a gap just wide enough to slip through.

“Looks like someone forgot their key.” Echo mutters

Raven squeezes through. “Jackpot.”

Immediately, she begins to head toward the front, where she’ll be able to turn off the alarm. Bellamy isn’t as quick to move, looking around. “Something bad happened here.”

“Monty.” Raven calls.

He slips past you, hurrying to her side. “Help you access the ship’s manifest and schematics so we can find out where they keep their hydrazine?”

Yes, but first let’s kill this alarm.” She tells him.

Raven plops down in one of the seats, entering the computer and going through until she can turn off the noise. The second the silence hits, a wave of serenity comes over you, no longer anxious.

“Thank you.” Bellamy says, observing the cabinets.

Monty sits on the other side of the room, typing. “Fuel systems.” He reads, his screen lights up. “Got it.”

“Oh, Captain’s chair.” Murphy makes a face, taking a seat.

“I think that belongs to me.” You tell him, jabbing your thumb to the side to tell him to get off.

He scoffs, “In your dreams, (Y/n). You don’t have a leading bone in your body.”

“And you do?” You shoot back. 

“The ship doesn’t run on hydrazine.” Raven announces. “They could never store enough for a long-duration mission.”

“Well, what, then?” Bellamy asks.

“It looks like… hythylodium.” 

“Must be what they were mining for, incredibly efficient energy—” Monty begins.

Murphy cuts him off. “Spare me the science lesson.” You smack the side of his head. He glares at you, but continues to speak. “Can we use it to land the pod or not?”

“Sure, if you want to explode every cell in your body.” Raven rolls her eyes.

“I vote for that one.” You smile sarcastically at Murphy, moving away from the chair. Murphy gives you a mocking smile back.

“Raven.” Bellamy says, concerned.

“Don’t worry. Just because this ship doesn’t run on hydrazine doesn’t mean they don’t have any on board.” She says, typing into the computer.

“The dropship.” Monty suggests.

“Short-range transport. They’d have to have a supply for refueling.” She goes quiet for a second, waiting for the computer to respond to her requests. Then, it changes. “Boom. And the crowd goes wild.”

You come up beside her, rubbing a hand over her shoulder. She looks up at you with a smile.

“So we have a way down?” Echo asks.

“We have a way down.” Raven confirms. 

“That’s not all we have.” Monty says, looking over the control panel nearby. His eyebrows draw in, squinting his eyes briefly, and then he flicks a switch. A radio scratches as it tries to connect to the right frequency. “Lasercom.”

“I mean it, McCreary.” A female voice comes over the radio. “I’m not losing any more men today.”

You turn to look at Bellamy, finding his face twisted.

“Our radios were blocked by residual radiation on the Earth, but lasercom was designed to cut through worse atmospheric conditions than that.” Monty tells you.

“Well, can we talk to them?” Murphy asks, getting out of the chair.

“Wait. We don’t know who we’re dealing with.” Bellamy tells him, reaching to grab him. 

Raven is on her feet now, looking over the control board.

“Movement to the northwest. McCreary, do you see it?” A man asks.

“I’ve got something better than movement. I’ve got tracks.” McCreary responds.

Raven turns around suddenly, looking between you and Bellamy with wide eyes. “They’re hunting our people.”

“We don’t know that.” Murphy says.

“We know there was no one else left on the ground.” Bellamy says.

“They could still be in the bunker.” You suggest.

“That wouldn’t make any sense.” Monty shakes his head. “They wouldn’t be able to sustain it.”

“It’s just an idea.” 

“Whatever this is, Octavia can handle it.” Echo says to Bellamy, trying to reassure him.

“Move over.” Raven boots Monty from where he’s sitting.

“Wait. What are you doing?”

“Finding out who we’re dealing with.” She says, pulling up several screens to sift through the information.

“All units, be advised. Subject is armed and dangerous.” The same woman from earlier says. “We are in her backyard. She knows the terrain. Keep your eyes open.”

You share a look with Bellamy, where you shake your head slightly. 

“I see her! Moving in!”

“We’ll go south and cut her off.” McCreary advises. 

“We’re closing in!” A voice shouts, before gunshots come over the radio.

There’s a moment of silence, and then the woman comes back on. “McCreary, we heard gunfire. Report.” She orders. “I said report, McCreary.”

“Relax, Colonel.” McCreary sighs over the radio. “I told you we’d get her, and we did. She’s a feisty one. Pretty, too.”

“Good work. Bring her to me.” The Colonel tells him. “We got a lot to talk about.”

“Still don’t think it’s Octavia?” Bellamy asks you, taking a step back. “We got to get down there, now.” 

“I’ll stay up here and look for anything useful.” Raven says, sitting back in her chair, rotating around to face the rest of you. 

“Okay,” Bellamy agrees. “Monty, Murphy and Echo can go get the hydrazine. You know where to find it, right?”

Monty nods. “I’ve got it.”

The three of them take off to the dropship together once Raven gives them a general set of directions. Monty waves her off, declaring that he’ll figure it out, and then they disappear through the small gap.

The three of you sit in your own chairs, with you and Bellamy watching Raven work her magic over the systems. She siphers through the files, until she finally comes across the prisoners, which are locked behind a wall. It doesn’t take her more than a minute to break through.

Bellamy and her switch spots, allowing him to go back and forth between all three hundred of them. “Murder, murder, murder.” He reads their crimes out loud, there isn’t much of a variety. They boil down to the same thing. “Murder, arson resulting in murder, armed robbery resulting in murder.” He sighs. “Three hundred inmates, twenty-five guards, and twelve crew.”

“Relax.” Raven tells him. “Great-great-grandpappy Blake was an astronaut with how many PH.D.S?”

“Four?” Bellamy says.

“And how many do you have?” She asks, you laugh at the look on Bellamy’s face. “Oh, wait. Shut up. I got it.” She says, switching from one of the prisoner files to a screen with a long list of recordings. “The Captain’s Log.” 

“The last entry was over a hundred years ago.” You raise your eyebrows.

“Play that one.” Bellamy says.

“Aye, aye, Captain.”

She presses play, and immediately a video pops up with a man on the screen, wearing a black jumpsuit. “I have to make this fast. The ship has been compromised.” He begins quickly, Bellamy gets to his feet. “The prisoners found out about Order Eleven. They used an explosion in the starboard engine bay as a distract—”

An explosion at the door cuts him off, a flash of light coming across the video, corrupting it into static for a brief moment. On the other side of the room, by the door, you can see figures in orange coming in. The video jumps, the man facing the camera again.

“Most of the crew is already dead. They’re about to take the bridge. Listen to me!” He demands, Bellamy looks back at the damaged door. “With the engine damage, it’ll be decades, maybe longer, before they make it back home. I tried disabling cryo, but couldn’t.”

“Cryo?” You repeat, looking at Bellamy.

“That’s quite enough, Captain.” A familiar voice says, the woman from the radio. You turn your attention back to the screen.

“If Eligius makes it back to Earth, blow it out of the sky! Diyoza can’t be allowed to weaponize the cargo! Do you hear me?! I said blow it—”

A man appears behind the Captain, a knife being brandished at the camera, before it’s sliced across his neck. You watch the blood spurt out in a giant wave, and then the Captain falls to the floor, choking.

“The bridge is yours, Lieutenant.” The woman says.

“You said you wouldn’t kill the crew.” A different man says, voice low.

“I said I wouldn’t.” The woman emphasizes. You watch as the prisoners begin to fire at the crew. “You did the right thing. I won’t forget it.” Another gunshot. “Now do your job and get us the hell out of here, Lieutenant.”

There’s chatter between the inmates, and then the woman comes into the main view of the camera. Your eyes lock on her, taking in every detail of her face that you can, before she shuts off the camera. END ENTRY. The letters are bolded in a yellow pop-up.

There’s a moment of silence between you three as you take in the information. 

“He said cryo.” Raven murmurs. “He said he was trying to deactivate the cryo—” Raven gets to her feet, turning to face Bellamy, her eyes widening almost instantly. “Bellamy, look out!” 

You twist in your chair, looking for the danger. You find a large prisoner barreling into the bridge, twice the size of any of you. You get to your feet, watching as Bellamy blocks the first punch, but misses the second one. 

As you jerk forward, you wind your fist back, and then throw your entire body weight into the punch. His head knocks back, but that’s it, before he reaches to grab you, managing to place a hand on your shoulder. Bellamy comes through, back on his feet, punching the prisoner again, causing him to double over. He’s able to get one more hit in, and then he gets headbutt.

The prisoner throws him against the nearest cabinet, trying to hold him down. Raven comes up behind him, sticking her fingers into his eyes, pulling his head back. It loosens the grip on Bellamy enough to allow him to breathe, but the prisoner punches his stomach, throwing him down.

And turns his attention to Raven.

No, you think. You throw your left arm up and around his neck, pulling him into a headlock. He reaches to grab you, instinctively trying to pull you off. You tighten your grip around his neck, pulling your arm.

“Hey! Let her go!” Echo shouts.

The prisoner turns to face her, and she comes in swinging with the sword, slicing it across his stomach. You get thrown off in a fit of rage, managing to land on your hands and knees, nothing aching. She then slams the sword through his stomach, and you can see the blade come out through his back.

This has little effect on him. He kicks Echo off, she trips over the steps behind her. Bellamy reaches for a wire, pulling it free. He runs at the prisoner, looping it around his neck, and garrotting him. They struggle, with the prisoner lifting him up and spinning, But with how tight the wire is being pulled, his circulation is cut off.

He falls to his knees, eyes rolling to the back of his head, and then he falls.

The four of you sit on the floor for a minute, panting, trying to catch your breath.

“One down, two hundred and ninety-nine to go.” Raven says.

“Shit.” You breathe.

Echo gets to her feet, holding the sword at her side. “We got the hydrazine to the pod, that’s where the others are. I came here to tell you about the cryo, but it looks like you’ve got a taste of it.”

“How’d you find out?” You ask, getting up. You brush the dirt from your jeans, and then move to help Raven up.

“We found where they all are.” She says.

“Take us there.” Bellamy tells her.

She makes a face, and begins to head toward the door. The three of you follow after her, with Bellamy insisting that he takes up the rear, in case there’s any other prisoners lurking around on the Eligius IV. 

The moment you step into the cryo room, Bellamy is visibly stressed, rubbing the back of his neck with one hand, looking over all the pods.

“Not too long ago, I’d have thought this was magic.” Echo says.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Raven says, playing with one of the panels. “Arthur C. Clarke.”

“How long can they live like this?” 

“Technically? Forever.” Raven says.

“Or we can kill them all right now.” Murphy’s voice comes from down the hallway, you turn in time to see him pass through the doorway. “What happened to you?”

“One of them woke up.” Echo says, standing over a pod.

“Question is how?” Bellamy asks.

“No, the question is what the hell are we waiting for?” Murphy shoots back. “I’m serious, okay. We’re all gassed up. Let’s pull the plug on this sleeping arm and go home.”

“That’s not an option; kill theirs, they kill ours.” Bellamy tells him. “Raven?”

“The pods are all jacked into the mainframe. I’m guessing they activated this one remotely from the ground, probably in response to us tripping their alarm.”

“Um,” You shake your head. “When he doesn’t check in, they’ll wake more of them.”

“I’d say that’s a good bet.” Raven agrees.

“Ergo, my ‘get the hell out of here’ plan.” Murphy says.

“Bellamy, you know what happens when these guys get to the ground.” Echo starts. “Murphy’s not wrong. This is an army.” Bellamy looks down. “I know how you feel, but it took four of us to take out one of them. Giving them reinforcements when we can stop it is a strategic mistake.”

Bellamy looks at Murphy, and he nods. When he looks at you, he sucks in a breath. “We’ve been off the ring for less than a day, and we’re already talking about murdering hundreds of people.” 

“This is not murder. It’s survival.” Murphy argues. “They die now or we die later. If Clarke was here, this wouldn’t even be—”

“Clarke’s not here!” Bellamy cuts him off.

“Exactly.” Murphy emphasizes. “She died so we could live, Bellamy. This is how we do that.”

Bellamy looks away, toward the pods.

“Maybe not.” Raven says. “We can leave them here like this, but block the signal from the ground so they can’t wake them up.”

“They have a shuttle. They can just come back up and do it themselves.” Murphy reasons.

“Can you rig it so we can kill them remotely?” Echo asks.

“It’s tricky… but possible. Why?” 

“Leverage.” Bellamy nods. “‘Put down your weapons or we pull the plug’. How long do you need to make that possible?” 

“I don’t know, but I’m on it.” Raven turns to the computer. 

“That’s my girl.” You murmur.

Bellamy rolls his eyes, and they land on Murphy, who’s walking away. “Wait. Murphy. I want to know what you think.”

“I think it’s a risk.”

“You’re right. It is. But Clark didn’t die for us to live just so we can go back to the ground and make the same mistakes.” 

Murphy throws his arms out. “What the hell? Let’s be good guys.” 

He backs out of the doorway, presumably down the hall and toward the pod again. You stick around Raven, watching as she changes the programming to allow her to be in control, taking it away from the prisoners on the ground. When she’s done, her face smooths over, and she decides to go back to the bridge.

Bellamy and Echo go to the pod to regroup, you follow behind Raven. The two of you sit in front of the system, where she pulls up the crypod control, watching the stats to make sure none of them wake up.

“What’s the matter?” You ask her.

“Nothing.” 

“That’s crap.” You lean back in your seat. “That’s the face you make when there’s a tough decision.”

She presses her lips together, the sound of shuffling back you look up to see Bellamy. She sighs. “Someone has to stay up here.”

“What?” Bellamy asks, face twisting.

“How?”

“With remote access to the cryo-pods blocked, we won’t be able to operate them, either.” She tells you two, wandering closer to the screen. “Pulling the plug from the ground is not an option. Someone has to stay.”

“No. No.” Bellamy hands his hands on his hips, shaking his head. “No way. Okay, we make the threat from up here on the lasercom.”

“We won’t know if they’re following through.” Raven says. “Look, I’ve played out every angle. This only works if we have eyes on the ground.”

“Fine.” Bellamy wanders away. “Show me how to do it.”

“I can’t.” Raven’s voice is very matter-of-fact. And it’s a dead giveaway of what she’s been thinking about this entire time. She’s resigned herself to being the one that stays up here. You get up from where you’re sitting. “There are nine security measures to be bypassed, and teaching you would take days, and knowing you, you’d probably still screw it up.”

“You want to stay up here?” You ask her.

“I have to.” She tells you. “It’s not a matter of want, it has to be me.”

“I am not leaving you here.” Bellamy says. 

“I’ll be fine.” She says.

“The hell you will, I’m not leaving, either.”

“Emori can get you down. That’s what I trained her for. You need to go and find your sister, and make a deal for peace with the prisoners. Once everyone’s friends, they’ll come back up for their people, and I’ll hitch a ride down with them.” She tells Bellamy, turning to look at you next. “And you need to be down there to help negotiate peace, you’re better at it than any of us. And besides, you hate it up here, remember?”

“I’m not leaving.” You tell her.

“What if the threat doesn’t work?” Bellamy asks. “You’ll be stuck up here, Raven. You’ll have to kill three hundred people. Have you thought about that?” There’s a brief silence. “No, no, we’ll come up with something else. I left Clarke behind to die, and I…” He trails off. “I’m not doing that again.”

Raven looks off to the side. “There’s an escape pod, you idiot. For the Captain and First Mate. When this is all over, if you fail, I can go down in that.” She says.

Bellamy sucks in a breath.

“Hey.” She says. “Six years ago, I promised myself I would find a way to get us back down. Guys, this is it. Please, let me get you all home.” Raven looks at you, tilting her head. 

“Bellamy, you should go to the others.” You tell him, not breaking eye contact with Raven. 

“(Y/n), please. I want you to go down there, you’ll be happier.”

“I’ll be happier up here, with you.” You tell her. “And if there is an escape pod, there won’t be an issue later on, will there?”

She hesitates. It’s only for a moment, but you catch it. She nods, “Okay.”

Bellamy begins to back away. “We’re set, then?”

“Yes.” You tell him, “Go.” You watch to make sure that he’s gone, before looking at her. 

She’s shaking her head slightly. “Don’t stay up here with me.”

“You were lying.” You call her out. “What were you lying about?”

“The escape pod.” She sighs. “You’re going to be stuck up here with me. We might die up here.”

“And if we do, I’ll be right next to you.” You tell her. “I’m not going anywhere.”

anyways, in melissa barrera we trust our pro-palestine queen.

about gabriela:

originally came to oblitus in tow with her younger sister but ha ha we don't talk about that (her sister has since been k*lled by the creatures)

prev worked in quantico for a while, so she can definitely take care of herself

an older sister through and through. easily annoyed. protective. ever-changing moods etc etc

gabriela misses her sister like she misses her own heart (i know my sister like i know my own mind, she will choose her happiness over mine every time)

gabriela is VERY closed off and emotionally stunted bc she's terrified that if she shows any emotion then the creatures will appear and try to kill her or someone else (this is basically what happened to her sister one night during a heated argument)

i would like to say that gabriela is very morally good but lets be honest, she's quite morally grey.

final girl - esque vibes

if i had to compare her to anybody it would be... lexa (the 100), raven reyes (also the 100 lol), michonne (the walking dead) katniss everdeen (the hunger games), and kate austen (lost)

gabriela can seem quite closed off and un-fun but she really is just always On Guard, and Always Watching. she's 1000% who you'd want with you when shit goes down because she's extremely good at surviving and she's tough as nails

she can hold her own - both drinking wise and fighting wise. while she won't initiate anything or act out, she is definitely the kind of person who's always somewhat simmering under the surface

ALWAYS WATCHING

just misses her sister so bad tbh, her sister was her primary family and ya she definitely will never get over that trauma but o well baby!!

diplomatic but won't hesitate to speak up

nowadays she's pretty lowkey. mainly keeps to herself but is nice enough when you talk to her, won't be rude for no reason except if ur a MAN !! THEN DNI !!! jk kinda not really

very helpful and always willing to help out too, if u need help with anything i actually don't think gabriela will ever say no

is kinda resigned to the fact that oblitus is now her home and is mainly fine with that

prioritises keeping oblitus and its residences safe - so anyone who tries to fuck w the peace will be getting staunched by gabriela

idk what else to say lol

ill post wanted connections in a week or two, once i've properly fleshed out gabriela and gotten a vibe for her - but in the meantime, FEEL FREE TO ASSUME ANY CONNECTION !! im a fast replier and need to actually rp to rlly feel out my characters and understand them so thatll be my main goal, but pls feel free to mssg me ooc if this seems overwhelming JKFDNJKFNK

mwah love yall talk soon

ps i havent been on tumblr in literally 3 years so pls forgive me if i don't know the hippest ways to do styling and stuff dkjnfdnkjfn IM LEARNING I WILL GET IT SOON ur patience is so appreciated

April 24: Murven, Couch

Murphy/Raven, past Bellamy/Raven, ~600 words, written in about 15 minutes, same 'verse as it is new moon and twilight

*

Murphy has a bed big enough for two people, but he makes up the couch for her without asking or telling: a scratchy blanket on the bottom, with a ribbon of soft silk along the edge, the color of sand, and then something knitted, and then a blanket she recognizes from college and a couple of pillows that have mostly gone flat. Raven perches on the edge of his only chair and watches his careful preparations. She turns it around in her head: does he think she'll be more comfortable this way, or will he?

They slept together once in college--twice--but it doesn't count.

When he's finished, he pats the top blanket like it's all settled then, sits down and looks at her like he's startled to find her still in the room. Then almost immediately his expression settles: steady and appraising, narrow, how she knows him well. "Having regrets yet, Reyes?" he asks.

If she is, too late now. She's cleared her stuff out of the old apartment and the lease is up. She doesn't have much anyway; most of it was shit she and Bellamy bought together, and she let him take the plates and the appliances and most of the bedding, because he had another place lined up and she's bunking on Murphy's couch. So what's the point? It's just stuff. She won't be fighting over knickknacks in the divorce, in the broad sense of the word divorce.

She doesn't answer for a long time because she's picturing Bellamy in the second bedroom that used to be an office or something, because she's wondering if Clarke has that same drill-sergeant vibe around her even in the mornings or if she looks sleepy and soft then, if he'll fall in love with her, if Raven herself will feel jealous. If that's in her it's still a wave far off on the horizon. What she has now is shock, mostly, and that feeling that comes over her in hotels and airports and train rides after dark, that everything is limned in some strange light, that she's in a nowhere place and a nowhere time.

Murphy's new apartment and the couch he's made up for her.

It's his home, his space. She doesn't know where the glasses are. They aren't her glasses. Some of them are chipped and he tells her he's borrowing them from his mother's house, cause he's still working on this homemaking shit.

The crack in the bathroom wall, snaking out from behind the mirror. The way she can crawl through the living room window and out onto the fire escape and sit there until the metal digs in too cold against the soft flesh of her back and she can hear the whole city.

"Having regrets yet, Reyes?"

She flicks her gaze over to him. He's watching her soft-eyed. He knows how to do that, a look other girls have probably fallen in love with.

They used to lie half on top of each other, reading, silent. He didn't mind when she rested her head on his stomach. The day after the thing happened, the first time, she didn't want to speak to him alone because she wasn't sure what it would mean--on the edge of everything, anything, she'd just been playing pretend.

She slips forward to the edge of the chair. Her legs stretch out in front of her, and she squashes her hands between them, takes a deep, elongating breath in. "No regrets," she answers, and Murphy snorts under his breath like he doesn't believe her.
