rules: don't reblog the first one, make a new post! look at the first lines of the last ten (10) stories you published. look to see any patterns you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any!

Embers of a Kiss It was colder than she remembered, the city of Polis was farther north from Arkadia, and the winters were more intense.

Our Last Time Between the Sheets

Green. Green. Green.

It was her favorite color in the world.

No doubt about it.

That was never going to change.

Or so she thought

3. Bokeh It was a silent, relaxing night. No other sound could be heard except the pages of a book being flipped as she read about the history of photography for her upcoming exam. It was another long night in the Woods’ household where Lexa was dedicating her time to study as hard as she could to become a professional photographer.

4. The best present of them all Lexa looked in horror at the departure board, the red bold letters spelling canceled mocking her.

“No, it can’t be.” Lexa refused to believe it and quickly grabbed her roller bag and walked briskly to the airline desk agent.

5. Heartless The grey BMW 320i traveled at a steady speed along the road. There is nothing else around but the trees and majestic mountains. The sun had begun its descent to rest until the next day, and soon the moon would make its ascent to say hello.

6. For a Little Bit Longer Clarke was staring intently at the gold foil invitation in a pretty deboss in her hand. The Wallace’s were expected to go big with the invite to their charity ball, which was nothing but a way to show power among the circles of the rich and privileged. Charity was just a word to excuse excess and money, after all.

7. Of Dreams and Nightmares The automatic doors opened as Lexa Woods entered the lobby of the building where she worked. She was checking her watch on her left wrist to make sure she was on time to prepare for a video call in 30 minutes with her advisor, Titus Ainsley.

8. Choose Me Scrolling through more messages than she could count, Miorine Rembran - the young and only daughter of Delling Rembran - kept checking the important tasks that she had pending.

9. Build a Home With Me It wasn’t even noon when things at Arkadia Designs turned hectic. It was nothing to be surprised by, considering that they were managing various projects—particularly the newest and most ambitious project, Polis Plaza, for which Clarke Griffin was the chosen architect.

10. Stay Between the Sheets

Green. Green. Green.

Today and forever.

Her favorite color in the world.

I like to begin always in a place. I like to vary also POV's so I can't say I have a fave to write tbh. Oh well this was fun. Thanks for the tag. A Sulemio fic blink and you miss it in there.

📖✨Shortkingvi's Fic Hall of Fame✨📖

Since I’ve been a regular fic reader since ~2011, I figure a list like this is long overdue. This is a (semi) comprehensive list of every fic that has irrevocably changed who I am as a person forever. Some of these may not be the most world-altering fic's you've ever read, but for some reason they have wormed their way into my heart and stuck with me since the first time I read them. So, in no particular order and across many fandoms, here are my all time top-10:

1. tin soldiers - idrilka (Marvel Cinematic Universe, rated T, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes.

this fic... what do i truly say about this one. i am a stucky bitch first and foremost and this is the absolute best of them. a direct companion to captain america: the winter soldier, this fic covers what the public opinion of cap, the plot of the movie, and his relationship with bucky was/is/might be. written as a collection of academic papers, social media posts, and book excerpts, this fic takes unique and unforgettable to a new level. 10/10 would recommend!

2. maybe it's just me - bleedtoloveher (The Hunger Games, rated M, Katniss Everdeen/Peeta Mellark)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes, although you could get by knowing the general premise.

this is the first fic i ever remember reading (at like 13 or 14) and boy oh boy did it stick with me. i regularly go back to read this one because it's just... so pure and sweet. an AU where katniss and peeta have been best friends for years and peeta is the only one reaped. upon returning after winning the games, he and katniss must pretend to be in a relationship so that he can protect her from president snow, who is unhappy with peeta. i adore this fic, it's just so lovely.

3. meet me halfway to your heart - ariadnerue (Carmilla, rated T, Carmilla Karnstein/ Laura Hollis)

Do you need to know the source material? No.

i may or may not have a thing for the fake/pretend relationship trope. this one is a fic where carmilla and laura are best friends and the children of two A-list actors. after a pushy dude in a bar won't leave laura alone, she and carm pretend to be in a relationship. of course, the media catches wind of their supposed love and has a field day with it, forcing them to have to pretend they're in love to avoid ruining the release of their parents' new film. this one is so CUTE and a one-shot (albeit 22k words), so it's an easy, sweet read!

4. human interest - mad_lori (Brokeback Mountain, rated E, Ennis Del Mar/Jack Twist)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes, but techincally only the first hour or so, though i think you'd miss out on the catharsis of this by doing so.

no movie truly sticks with me and breaks my heart quite like brokeback, and after a particularly depressing rewatch last year, i stumbled upon this. originally written in 2006, this fic is an AU that imagines what might've happened if ennis had said yes to jack's proposition after ennis' divorce. they open up a cattle operation up in vermont and get their happily ever after. it's slice of life, it's real, it's sweet and cathartic. if you too have been personally victimized by this film, i recommend this more than anything else on this list. it's wonderful. there's a sequel fic that is technically unfinished, but it's 40 chapters and ends on a decent stopping point, so i think that's more than fine.

5. been lovin' you for quite some time - onemilliongoldstars (The 100, rated E, Clarke Griffin/Lexa)

Do you need to know the source material? No.

for some reason i am physically unable to read in canon clexa shit because it hurts too much, so this is an AU. FWB clarke and lexa find themselves spending christmas together and have to pretend they're strangers. it goes about as well as you'd think. read this as a wee baby gay and it means so much to me because of that. clexa truly is my greatest ship of all time, so you can imagine how much this one has stuck with me. an easy, quick, fun read with almost no angst.

6. United States v. Barnes, 617 F. Supp. 2d 143 (D.D.C. 2015) - fallingvoices, radialarch (Marvel Cinematic Universe, rated T, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes.

i didn't want to double dip on this list, but when they're this good, you have no choice. this fic is SO creative. similar to tin soldiers, this fic is formatted in an incredibly creative way! telling the story of bucky's hypothetical trial post winter soldier, this fic is a compilation of court transcripts, news articles, and social media posts. it's stucky at its core, but can also just be enjoyed as a bucky fic. it does an incredible job of holding your attention and truly making you feel like you're a part of this trial. this is the character work we should've gotten for bucky post winter soldier/civil war/endgame/ANYTHING.

7. i-80 west - socallmedaisy (Glee, rated M, Santana Lopez/Brittany S. Pierce)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes.

read this one right around the time i was graduating high school and boy oh boy was that the perfect time to read it. brittana roadtrip fic/ last summer in lima fic where they just... go through everything that people go through at that time. i know this one is special to me because of when i read it and what it meant to me, but GOD this one burrowed into the depths of my baby gay trauma brain and has lived there ever since. if you have time, this is a great one. just... yeah.

8. strawberry ice cream (revamped!!!) - banneancroft69 (Ocean's 8, rated E, Lou Miller/Debbie Ocean)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes.

we do ocean's 8 here sir. this one is just truly lovely. unfinished, so be warned, but it doesn't really matter, because it's mostly a timeline of Lou and Debbie's relationship, starting way back at their first meeting. i'm one of the many who believes that lou and debbie canonically had a on again, off again love affair but are ultimately each other's soulmates, and i think this fic does well to kind of tie all that complexity together in a very fresh way. i think about this one a LOT.

9. roll with the punches - greatestchange (Avatar: Legend of Korra, rated M, Korra/Asami Sato)

Do you need to know the source material? No.

godddddd this fic. this SERIES. korra and asami are estranged high school best friends. when asami learns korra's back in town and fighting in an underground fight club, she goes to seek her out and figure out why she left and what she's been up to since. this series is HEAVY, let me preface, and deals with drug abuse, self-destructive tendencies, and overall complicated humans. it will likely be the most difficult read on this list because of this, but it also is one of the most important for me. i related BIG TIME to this version of korra, and it just really is a masterfully crafted series that i cannot say enough about. please give this a read if it sounds like your thing.

10. see your world in traces - spibsy (Professional Wrestling, rated E, Seth Rollins/Dean Ambrose)

Do you need to know the source material? Yes, but a general understanding of wrestling would probably suffice.

burrowing this down at number 10 so no one notices it. seriously though, i find it hard to ever read anything wrestling related because it often veers way too far into RPF territory for me and those lines are muddy enough as is. this one though... this one is fully within kayfabe and just like.. has stuck with me since i was 16 for some reason. it's FCW era ambrollins aka PEAK twunk rollins era, and it's just such a perfect kayfabe explanation for the funky little feud they had at the time. it's genuine and messy and heartfelt and weird and i HAD to include it here if i truly wanted this list to be as honest and correct as i want it to be. if you're at all into wrestling, this is a lovely one that i should probably read again soon.

[babycakes-rps]

White Queen Running (and Red King Awaken) by KL_Morgan: Clarke essentially switches bodies with the queen of the ice nation.

A Paralleled Past by TheSSClexa: Canon Lexa wakes up in the body of Modern Day Lexa, in time to meet Beca PrimeHeda and btw she is Modern Day Clarke’s girlfriend.

What We Deserve by tabbygyson and UnchartedCloud: Canon divergence of when Lexa has Wanheda Clarke tracked down and brought to Polis.

And Then There Was You by writerval: Artist Clarke is foster mom to teenage Ontari and child Madi. Ontari has behavior and trust issues from growing up in the system and raising Madi. Lexa is Ontari’s English teacher and meets Clarke and dates her and I won’t spoil it.

From the Mouths of Babes by eternaleponine: Starts out with Lexa at a foster home that is across the street from Clarke’s house. Lexa has a dark past that leaves her with habits to unlearn and a mentality that she has to fight. Through the years they become girlfriends, and then the second installment which is the current one the author is writing has them off to college.

Hearts of Silver and Gold by legendofbisexuals: Princess Clarke is set to marry Prince Aden but she crushes on his sister, Princess Lexa.

In Love and War and Politics by centuriesofexistence: Representative Clarke Griffin is running for Senate and enlists the help of Lexa Ward as her campaign manager.

Resurgam by cyclothimic: Doctor Clarke Griffin saves Princess and Soldier Lexa’s life. Then they run into each other later and then Lexa finds ways to run into Clarke a lot and they get Mcdonalds together a lot. Prince Lincoln ends up dating Nurse Octavia. Nurse Raven thinks Princess Anya is hot. This fic isn’t finished yet and hasn’t updated in a while which has my anxious ass worried that the writer like died or something.

Double Edged Sword by AngrySapphicHeda: Clarke is a detective in a tiny town, and Lexa is an heiress who moves into the Polic mansion. It only has 6 chapters right now so it’s still at the beginning.

Before The Days by Lilbug: Lexa has some serious PTSD from having been abused by Ontari when she was a prisoner of Azgeda. But she’s back now and has to ya know be the Commander and shit. Has to be tough but Clarke can see through her. Only has two chapters so far but it’s good.

Wanheda Awakens by Non_Euclidean_Feels: Lexa betrays Clarke at the mountain. Clarke does what she has to do to save her people, which ends up awakening the Spirit of Wanheda within her. In this fic, the spirit is very much a real thing and it gives Clarke several superhuman abilities. This fic is ongoing, and in its most recent chapter, it has the Spirt of The Commander of Death meeting the Spirit of The Commander of the Twelve Clans (which obviously is living in Lexa) face to face. Feat. Madi as Clarke’s little wounded wolf buddy.

Clarke Vs. by raccoonhearteyes: Clarke inadvertently has a CIA intersect downloaded into her mind. Lexa and Anya are her CIA handlers.

More Women Than Warriors by steklir (SilentStars): Clarke is new to the private boarding school where Lexa is head girl. Highly recommended.

Only If For A Night by sassymajesty: Clarke and Lexa hook up at a bar and then find out that Clarke is Lexa’s new hire. Only has 2 out of 20 chapters posted so far.

Better To Be Fake (Cant Risk Losing) by onemilliongoldstars: Rich high school Clarke pays Lexa to pretend to be her girlfriend to mess with her mom. Only 2 out of 13 chapters posted so far.

A Hogwarts Story: Year 1 by Sixtu16: Inserts The 100 characters into the first Harry Potter. Year 2 is also now underway. It also has some original characters.

[kendrene]

Hey just wondering if you can give us some clexa fic recs? Or the 100 fic recs? :)) Your writing is amazing and I wanna know what kinda stuff you like to read

@entirelytookeen remains my favorite clexa writer but I’m soooo behind.

Hello everyone,

The fic selection and casting process are officially wrapped up. At the request of many (or maybe just one, who knows how many anons there really were), here are the works we will be adapting, in no specific order:

Revolution (also here) by @coeurdastronaute (coeurdastronaute on ao3)

Mystic Coffee by @blindwire (blindwire on ao3)

Pumpkin spice and everything nice by @dreamsaremywords (DreamsAreMyWords on ao3)

stealing kisses by @onemilliongoldstars (onemilliongoldstars on ao3)

Bonus track: Sweety Tweety by @dreamsaremywords (DreamsAreMyWords on ao3)

And our main cast is:

Clarke - @imaginaryhistorianme

Lexa - @smaugthedesolator

Raven - @iliveinmyheadabovemybody and @lets-seethestars

Octavia - @queer-lil-fuqer

Bellamy - @serenity-searcher

Narrators - @clexa-15 , @houpkomslakgedakru , and @greentoethumbs

There are also several other voices for smaller characters :)

As was mentioned before, for this first batch, we looked for fics shorter than 10 chapters and without smut. We'd like to thank everyone who volunteered to give their voices to this project, even if they didn't get chosen, and to help with editing and whatnot. We never expected such a great reaction from everyone; it was honestly amazing.

We'd also like to thank the authors, who were so generous in authorizing us to adapt their fics and showed their enthusiasm towards this project.

At the end of the day, we just hope we can make good adaptations of these great works of fanfiction, that people who can't read or have a hard time reading - for whatever reason - can enjoy.

And so production begins 🎉

Fic Writer Profile

Author name: onemilliongoldstars

Sites: AO3, Tumblr, and an old ff profile (does this show my age?)

Fandoms: Currently clexa, previously Holy Trinity, Glee, and Robin Hood (that definitely shows my age)

Number of fics & total word count: After some maths (thank you teenage me for putting word counts at the top of fics only posted to tumblr) this number has come out at 1,366,166. 

Your most popular work and why you think it is: I think this is probably a hand to hold onto (at least, according to my hits stats on ao3). Like me, I think a lot of people wanted something soft and easy for clexa after 307, which is likely why it resonated? It’s so hard to reflect on the merits of your own work, sometimes things just click with people.

Your top 3 personal favorites of your own works: Generally I prefer all of my new stuff simply because it’s better written. I have a real soft spot for a hand to hold onto, those kids are close to my heart and it was a really therapeutic thing to write. A Crown Seldom Enjoyed is also a personal favourite of mine, I think it’s the best fic I’ve ever written plot-wise. Most Ardently also holds a place in my heart because..... it’s all about the yearning.

Your fic rating count? (this was hard to figure out bc a lot of my tumblr fics weren’t rated, but I guestimated) G: 15+ T: 30+ M: 20+ E: 5 

Your top five tags most used in your fics? AU, Angst, Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Family

A ship you’d love to write for but never have: Catradora! (I have written one little thing but would like to write more!)

Three fic recs? I haven’t been reading much fic recently, but these three fics are ones I want to go back and reread soon: living on a fault line by anddirtyrain,  The Whores’ Queen by @clarkethewanheda, and  The Red King Awake by @entirelytookeen (if anyone could recommend me some catradora fics I’d love to rad more them too! I haven’t had time to dig through ao3 recently!)

Thank you for the tag @dreamsaremywords! I’m going to tag @syngularitysyn, @entirelytookeen, @unicyclehippo, and @almostafantasia

Rules: answer the questions, then tag other people you want to get to know better.

I was tagged by @go-ldy​, who is my fandom twin even if she likes poutine.

Last Movie: Queen of Katwe on Disney+. Highly recommended. Made me feel like I was back in Uganda. 

Currently reading: I am going to pad this with the fact that I AM slowly reading a book on foster children and trauma. But yeah, mostly, it’s fanfiction. Highlights: 

What Once Was Lost (Will Soon Be Found) by MarsCosta, @smugheadjonesthethird​ (I truly don’t think you people understand how much I need more of this) 

Tapes of Us by MidnightBitesCarly

Pas De Deux by @onemilliongoldstars​ (this is a Clexa fic that hasn’t been updated in years but years later I NEED MORE)

Clarke Griffin has been forced to abandon her name and her family. She is desperately hiding in her new role as lady's maid to Lady Lexa, fumbling through her duties and hoping to become invisible, when she realises that her heiress mistress is caught firmly under the thumb of her overbearing uncle. As Lexa suffocates under the expectations of her remaining family, she and Clarke slowly realise that they may be each other's safe haven.

or: Clarke is hiding a secret while struggling to seem like an experienced lady's maid for Lexa, who is painfully glad for a friend.

Any recommendations on popular!Clarke and nerd!Lexa fanfics or vice versa?

Im much more a fan of popular!lexa and nerd!clarke bc thats what i personally find more appealing so i don’t have many recommendations of the opposite but lemme see what i can recall off the top of my head.

popular!clarke and nerd!lexa

1. Acting on your Best Behavior by fairytaleslayer

the skirt is short on purpose or quiet!lexa defends clarke’s honor. 

2.  the river’s deep (but I swam it) by isawet

this is actually a couple stories in one (all of which are great!), but the first chapter has a cute take on nerd!lexa and a popular!clarke. halloween themed

3.  this is a state of grace by chasingredballoons

it’s been a while since i’ve read this one, but nerd!lexa and popular!clarke forced to work on a project together, sign me up.

popular!Lexa and nerd!Clarke

1.  my sweet girl (was once his wife) by brokendevil

new in town lexa arrives at clarke’s school and quickly takes the world by storm. 

2.  the way you’ve got me under your spell (don’t you keep it all to yourself) by brokendevil

yeah another one by this author, but they write the whole popular!lexa and nerd!clarke like a dream i tell you, a dream!

3.  stealing kisses by onemilliongoldstars

chess nerd clarke and track star lexa in a (not so) secret relationship, need i say more?

4. More Women than Warriors by steklir (SilentStars)

does this count? maybe. has everyone probably already read this? most likely. should you read/reread it? definitely. (aka clarke goes to school abroad where she finds lexa aka the head girl of an all girl boarding school)

aaand now for some blatant self-promotion

5.  underneath it all (you’re really lovely) by Teroe

nerd!clarke and infamous high school rebel!lexa and yeah it’s a match made in heaven.

[deviltakesthewaltz]

do you read other people’s fics? any recommendations?

I completed ‘a crown seldom enjoyed’ by onemilliongoldstars x not too long ago. I quite enjoyed it.
