Okay it's been a hot minute since I thought about the first of my Stardew Valley OCs, Cas (even though I made a whole ass sideblog for her that I ended up never using)

But more importantly, I am thinking of an AU. Where some magic shit goes bad & she gets stuck in a time loop (me? Thinking about time loops? What a surprise)

So for context, when I first played SDV it was on my laptop. I think in my very first file I was dating Sebastian, then lost interest in the game. Later I came back & made a new file. After a little while I ended up adding mods (mostly quality of life like faster walking speed, infinite health/stamina, not passing out at 2am, but I think the thing that ultimately screwed me was no crows. For some reason that mod did not play well with other mods). I married Leah in spring of year 2, as soon as I could. And then like 3 days later, the game crashed & the file is corrupted. I was upset of course, deleted a bunch of mods (I had so many mods y'all, though some of them were for hair/clothes bc I'm a sucker for dress up shit). Also at some point before the crash I made my OC Cas & changed the file data to be her.

I started a new save file & this time I went for Harvey (still playing as Cas). Once again, over that first winter I finally got enough hearts so as soon as that first spring of year 2 rain hit, I bought a mermaid pendant.

And then 3 days after marrying Harvey, the game crashed. File corrupted.

At this point I had logged roughly 80 hours across those files & I was so pissed off at losing ANOTHER save file. I gave up.

Flash forward to later I decide to buy the game on my phone. I don't think I got through year 1 before losing interest.

Then I get it for the switch one summer. I play as Cadmus. I play for a while but can't decide who to marry. Eventually put down the game. Then sometime later I find out my brother has sdv on the switch so we start a co-op together, thus my making another OC, Bea.

Recently my brother was like "hey we should start playing stardew again" so we picked up that co-op file, I decide that I'm gonna marry Leah. I also decided after he had enough for the day that I wanted to keep playing so I opened up the Cadmus save file.

Initially I was thinking that for this file, I wanted to marry someone other than Leah or Harvey. My brother suggests Sebastian, & I go with it (in part because back when I first played I was considering him, & also he looks like he could be Anubis's emo brother so why not put Cadmus with the purple haired emo bangs guy?).

But now I'm almost a year in marriage with Sebastian & I miss Harvey. Very much. Like, I'm heavily considering saving up to divorce Sebastian (and then saving up more to erase his memory that we were ever married bc I don't want him to be mad 😔). SO ANYWAY NOW WE GET TO THE POINT

Cas gets a time loop AU. Idk maybe the wizard's ex-wife decides to curse her for sneaking into her house to steal back the magic ink. 3 days after marrying Harvey, Cas gets sent back to her first day moving into Pelican Town. The first reset, she's just like "wtf is happening". She goes to the wizard about it but he thinks she's just crazy. She wonders if maybe it was all a dream so she goes on like normal. She marries Harvey again. 3 days later she gets reset. Now she KNOWS something magical is going on. She insists to Rasmodius that she has lived here for a couple years now. He's like "okay if both times it happened 3 days after marrying the doctor, which happened on a specific day, marry him on a different day?". So she speedruns it & manages to marry him fall year 1 (idk offhand if this is possible but I don't see why not). 3 days later, another reset. First person she goes to is Rasmodius. She has no proof of what's happening but he is getting a weird magical vibe off of her. They on trying to figure this shit out & in the meantime, Cas CANNOT give Harvey a mermaid pendant.

But one day Harvey decides to propose, and Cas can't bear to say no to him.

She & Rasmodius are scrambling to figure out SOMETHING, even if it's just a way to gather proof that will stay despite the reset.

3 days after marrying Harvey, Cas wakes up once again in her old apartment, ready to make the drive down to the valley. She cries. She actually puts off leaving for a couple days, until she gets a letter from Rasmodius. She finally goes, & Rasmodius actually visits her at the farm. He explains that something felt off when she didn't arrive as scheduled, he checked out the farm & there was residue of time magic or something. Hella cursed vibes stuck to Cas herself. She explains everything. They decide that maybe, until they can figure out what to do, Cas shouldn't even date Harvey (or anyone for that matter, just in case). She's a social person, she loves & misses all her friends in town, she especially misses Harvey, but she needs to stay distant.

It's not till year 3 of this loop, year 3 of just being friends, of keeping everyone at arms length while still helping them out (she finally gets the chance to finish the Community Center at least) that Rasmodius realizes it's his ex-wife that put this curse on Cas. He didn't even think she was capable of such a feat! But now that he knows the source, he can work to undo the curse.

Together they're able to figure out how to undo it, but Rasmodius asks if Cas wants to start over one more time, since in this loop she's spent 3 years keeping everyone at a distance. He could make it so that he remembers everything from this loop, so that once it resets, he can immediately break the curse & Cas can live normally. She briefly considers it but ultimately decides that she's tired of starting over. She's worked so hard & doesn't want to lose it all again. Besides, it's not like the town hates her, she's just earned a reputation as a loner who helps everyone out.

I'm honestly tempted to have something terrible happen that would *make* her wanna reset one more time. Or not even terrible but "Harvey marries someone else" or "Harvey has to close up the clinic & move to Zuzu City". But I also wanna give them a happy ending.

Maybe Rasmodius's ex decides to come after Cas right after they break the curse, she gets seriously injured & is taken to the clinic.

What if, once the curse is broken, Harvey remembers all the loops? The rest of the town has no clue, but since the curse centered on Cas marrying Harvey (technically Cas marrying anyone, but she only ever married Harvey), for whatever reason he regains his memories of those past loops.

So when Cas ends up in the clinic, he freaks out & patches her up but there's this whole heartfelt thing where he's like "I suddenly felt like I had spent the last few years falling in love with you", Cas explains it. They decide right there, no mermaid pendants, that they're gonna get married. The whole town is surprised because as far as they knew, Cas and Harvey were barely even friends, now they're suddenly getting married?????

(Cas is of course super anxious during the wedding & immediately after, but 3 days pass. 4. 5. A week. She's still here. Everything is fine. They live happily ever after.)

((What music I think your ocs listens to based on what they looks like,,, tell me if I got something right))

Eb listens to hyperpop. This is a statement, non-negotiable.

Bank likes webcore and the SCP-3005 roblox game soundtrack. (And hyperpop but like less then Ebony)

I think Boxxy listens to five finger death punch and the call of duty:black ops - zombies OST

Allison looks like she listens to Studio killers and literally nothing else

Leti is a little more open and listens to studio killers AND paramore

Raina looks like she had a punk phase and never left (Green Day, mcr)

I have a sneaking suspicion that Fumei listens to slipknot but just,,, quietly

Shinda listens to doja cat

Yume looks like she listens to classic rock! And otacore ((and the SCP-3005 roblox game soundtrack,,,))

Ikute listens to fukin Red Hot Chili Peppers,,,

I think Bank just overall likes chill game OSTs ((such as Pesterquest/Hiveswap OST, the Minecraft sound track and maybe the Madoka Magica soundtrack,,,))

I'd say these guesses are pretty good estimates!

Eb's music tastes are mostly within the realm of alt and nu metal, whatever the hell ICP's considered, and some pop music for flavoring. I definitely think hyperpop's a good fit for her, I should get on adding that to her playlist lmao.

Which, I've made one for her! As well as Bank and Boxxy. Boxxy's is a bit of a WIP atm cause I just made it, but Eb and Bank's are pretty solid. Here's the links:

Eb's Napster Account

Bank's mp3 Player

Boxxy's Myspace Page

Anyway,

Bank's tastes are fairly accurate. She likes funky music, I wouldn't necessarily say webcore, more in the lines of EDM and City Funk, and she's actually the one most into otacore! She also listens to indie music and bedroom pop, and some alt rock occasionally. Sad girl hours lmao

Boxxy most definitely listens to hard shit, but I think she's mostly into really hyper, really manic, really wack ass music, ESPECIALLY if that music is HARD on the bass. Intense bass is like ecstasy on her eardrums.

Yeah Allison listens to Studio Killers lmfao. She also would listen to stuff like hip hop and reggaetón, and on a completely different side, shit like horrorcore!

Leti is mostly into 90's alt rock and folk. She also frequently listens to classic Spanish tunes, but that's a thing her, Allison, and Ben share together.

Raina is a fucking punk and she listens to a lot of emo and punk classics. However, she's also really into hip hop and rap. As well as house music. And, being the gamer she is, she of course is massively into Video Game OSTs of all kinds. Also she's a piano player and loves classical pieces. She's a fucking paradox

Fumei's a hardcore rock and metal lover! In fact He, Ikute, and Shinda all are! Ikute is more of a bigger fan of Slipknot than Fumei is, but he still enjoys them. He's more into stuff like Metallica and Rob Zombie. And he also really likes classic rock, I'd say he's a bigger fan of Red Hot Chili Peppers than Ikute is lol. He also has a bit of flavoring in his tastes cause he's also really into ska and like, stoner surfer ass music, Sublime is def one of his fav groups.

I think Shinda does listen to Doja but I don't think she's much a listener of her genre. Like I said before, she's more about Rock and Metal. However, she's also really big on Video Game OSTs like Raina is. Mostly Sonic OSTs. She is a diehard Sonic fan lmao

I don't need to repeat it with Ikute, I already said the thing. Anyway, he also fucking loves EDM and dubstep. Dude makes that shit himself and he's pretty good at it tbh

Yume like indie stuff, she likes EDM but not as much as Ikute, and she likes J-pop and chiptune. Her taste is kind of similar to Bank so I won't repeat the same things, she's just into mostly sad/numbing music. She also loves certain game OSTs! She probably listens to the Silent Hill 3 soundtrack a lot.

Marco x Valerie : Mi Rey Happy Birthday

A/N: Happy birthday to My husband My King Marco. This is such a joyous day for me in celebration to a great man in he OP world. This man is perfection and deserves nothing less than perfection. He makes me smile so much I can't explain it . I myself did indulged in a little self ship I made for me and him. 🥺 I couldn't help myself at all I will do anything for my king. Te Emo Marco.

“Aww, little bird you didn't have to do this.” Marco smiled was ear to ear

“Well, I want to do this for you. You’ve done the same thing for my birthday and I want to show you how much I love you. Come on!” Intertwining his fingers with yours. We were docked on an island for the past two days. Marco wasn’t able to look around the island due to his schedule.. Figuring out the perfect day to spend some time with him. Lari offered to get the party set up for Marco while you take him out for the day.

Brining the back of your hand to his lips he placed a sweet kiss. “As long as I’m with you, pretty bird nothing else matters yoi.” The way his words came out of his mouth made the butterflies in your stomach flutter their wings faster.

~~~Meanwhile on the Ship~~~

Lari is trying to get the rest of the stuff ready for the party. Ace watches his girl take charge of the crew having them do specific tasks for the party. “Ace honey that goes over there.” Lari pointed to the area of the deck where the tables were supposed to be.

“Yes ma’am. Shall I scrub the floors too?” he said sarcastically, teasing his girl.

Playfully rolling her eyes “As a matter of fact yes.” a hand placed on her hip. Ace's eyes widened as his girlfriend agreed that he should do the floor next. For a moment her serious look turned into laughter “kidding only jokes babes. But we should get this done. Val said they will be here later on.” Lari remembered the careful planning Valerie was doing for Marco’s birthday.

“Soooo, what did she get him for his birthday?” Ace asked.

“It's a surprise.” Lari said, “Okay but for reals, start cleaning the deck floor.”

~~~~~~~~

You have seen some of the vendors starting to set up some tents as it was still early in the afternoon. Marco looking around as he notices certain things standing out to him “So my little bird are you going to tell me why we exactly stopped here for yoi?” he asked.

“Well you see, I have done some research for a while and around this time, this island is known for their pineapple festival.” you smiled. Marco had a content hum as he looked around then back at you. “There is also a pub that is known for their pineapple ale that is supposed to be very good. I want to take you thereafter we see everything.”

“Now how interesting we do need to try it together.” his fingers laced with yours holding it a bit firmer.

The day went on as you both practically saw everything on the island, the breathtaking views and the amazing inspired pineapple food. Marcos' arm draped around your shoulder he still couldn't get over the fact that you had planned all this out for him. He hasn’t enjoyed himself this much in a while. You brought this light into his life that he couldn’t express how grateful he was for you. Seeing a photobooth Marco and you made your way into the booth. Taking a seat on his lap, his arms wrapping around your waist, his head resting on your shoulder, both of you smiled for the first one. “My pretty bird you have such a lovely smile yoi.” he whispers softly in my ear. Your cheeks becoming red as your head turns to look at him, the second picture snapped.

The corner of his mouth curled up his hand caressing your cheek, his thumb swiping left to right. “So do you.” slightly nervous saying that you looked into the made you fell hard for. His other hand rubbing your upper thigh. Both of you with a smile tint of pinks on your cheeks looked at each other not breaking eye contact the third picture snapped. Not even caring about the photo as your lips touched one another. The final photo snapped but your lips were still connected. Your arms wrapping around one another, his finger running through your silky hair. Playfully biting his lower lip he let out a low groan. The small space started to become a bit stuffy As our lips separated from one another's.

“Um, are you guys done? So can other people take pictures now?” hearing a voice coming from outside the closed curtain.

Your face felt hot Marco letting out a bit of humor moving a strand of hair “let's get going.”

Marco grabbed the strip of photos making our way out of the photo booth seeing some people waiting in line for the photo booth as you both exited out.

Marco didn’t pay them any mind as you both continued to walk. The sun was beginning to see as we sat on the patio of the pub. The warm summer breeze hit our skin as we took the first sip of the pineapple ale. You could taste the crisp of the pineapple in the ale. “This is so good.” you smiled.

“It's a nice blend of yoi. I can see why this is known on this island. Marco noticed the coaster with a small pineapple on it. He found another one for his collection. “Nice coaster as well.”

“You enjoyed today Honey?” asking him as he places the mug down. Turning in his chair towards you.

“You don't know how much this made my day little bird. Spending the day with you is always a treat and to be alone is even better.” Marco's arm hung from behind the chair he slightly laid back. His expression is not changing at all, still so calming and loving. I think this is the perfect time to give this to you. Reaching into your bag as you pulled out the small box.

“Val you didn’t have to,” he said as you handed him the gift.

“ I wanted to do this because I love you and it's your birthday. I wanted to get you something I know you will like.” you placed your hands on your lap waiting for him to open it.

As he began to do the unwrapping he opened the box reaching in to pull out something smooth and round. It was a coaster engraved with both of your initials on with with a little ~yoi~ on it as well. “Val…” picking his head up looking at you smiled once again. He leaned forward, placing a sweet kiss on your lips. “I love it, thank you my little bird yoi.”

About another hour at the pub you both began to head back to the ship. The ship seemed oddly quiet as we began to head up the ship. As we reach the deck “Happy birthday Marco!” the crew shouted, clapping and cheering.

Marco's eyes widen he has a great big smile on his face. “Was this you're doing as well?” turning his head towards you?

“Don't act surprised now!” Lari chimed in. “She wanted you to have the perfect day.”

“Yeah so Lari was in charge and made us get everything ready,” Ae said.

“Yes, and Ace did a wonderful job cleaning the floors.” Lari’s arms wrapping around Ace’s forearm.

“I felt used ” Ace teased

“Oh, hush you did a wonderful job you were so good at it my little firecracker.”

“Aww really.” he smiled at the sweet comment coming from her.

The night went on as the crew sang, drank, and overall had a good time in celebration of their first commander's birthday. Marco looked over at you as you were laughing with Lari. His life felt complete as he couldn’t ask for anything more. He had a family, a crew full of brothers and you, the one he was looking for, for so many years, and he finally had you. Knowing his days as a pirate were soon to come to an end as he started to want to plan his life with you settling down on an island and possible talks of starting a family of his own. Both of your eyes meeting both of you exchanging smiles at one another. Your eyes look at him then look towards the way of the bedroom you both shared. Giving him the oh-so-familiar look he enjoyed seeing on your face. It was time for his final birthday gift as you both quietly left to the room you both shared.

#marco x valerie #val x marco #valerieswriting #thatbadbruja #one piece #op marco #marco the phoenix #marco the pineapple #one piece scenario #marco one piece #i love you #happy birthday #im his phoenix empress #pineapple princess #im his pineapple princess #you deserved so much more #marco #marvalous #marval

making mixtapes for the demon bros + undateables

true love is making playlists for people you care about so what if you did this,,, for the demon bros (and the undateables)

lucifer

classical music first, soft jazz second

lots of angry violin playing followed by soft dreamy piano

shostakovich, ravel, chopin

probably some opera too? anything that screams old boomer of culture

...and then chet baker and nina simone

(i’m sorry lucifer is a chet baker lover forever in my heart i mean have you heard my funny valentine or i’ve never been in love before or it ‘s always you? please that’s lucifer in love 101)

bonus: based on his character song i feel like he’d also enjoy lap dance music like two feet (like mammon and asmo)

anything slow and sensual but with a beat

mammon

basically either party music but horny or romantic / feel good rap

two feet, chet faker, tyler the creator

maybe pop punk???

he gives me angry pop punk dude that mellowed out and now sings abt his gf vibes idk why

also songs you can serenade him with (or the ones he used to serenade you)

lastly, hear me out: disney karaoke (no, i do not accept criticism)

levi

anime openings / endings and movie soundtracks

especially if you watched them together

(because everyone has a playlist with 2000s animes ops and old vocaloid music for nostalgia)

low fi for studying/ no thought head empty just gaming music 9 hours

but instead of studying he’ll listen to it while gaming because listening to a game’s soundtrack while playing another is a power move

satan

jazz lover on a good day metal on a bad day

...or both on a good day because some people listen to metal to calm down so why not

you do you king listen to metallica while sipping tea

also ofc he’d love punk for sure since he’s the forever angry teen boyo

but i feel like he’d prefer punk bands that aren’t made up of only angry white dudes

did he have a secret emo phase he told you about and you put some mcr too? maybe

asmo

lana del rey ugly crying karaoke when drunk

also mitski

and fiona apple

i feel like he’d do a lot of crying while listening to romantic songs and ain’t that a mood so put a lot of that

would probably like a mixtape with side a: sad romantic music only and side b:songs to strip to

bonus: another mixtape with broadway showtunes because we need a theatre kid in this family

he would probably like heathers, legally blonde, mean girls ya know the feel good musicals you can jam to

(can you imagine asmo singing welcome to my candy store? now you can you’re welcome)

beel

workout music

gorillaz and feel good music like abba

is he the type of person that works out to rap or techno music? we don’t know

he probably likes whatever is high energy and keeps up with his workout

but would also jam out to abba

which he can listen to w his twin

belphie

whale noises

rain against your window while you’re trying to sleep by the fireplace 9 hours asmr

dancing queen but you’re drunk in a bathroom at a party in the 80s

folk rock and goth country (for our cowboy hhehehehe)

just goth rock (but with him bela lugosi isn’t dead he’s just asleep)

experimental loud rap like death grips

2005 sad emo music to cry your mascara off to like mcr and fob

he doesn’t have any specific taste in music and could listen to anything and he means anything

simeon

canon theatre kid

you can’t stop him he likes all the musicals

probably into the more romantic ones though

rent, falsettos, hedwig and the angry inch

i really want simeon to play hedwig idk can you imagine it i cant but would like to

also hear me out: romantic french music

edith piaf, charles azvnavour, pomme

aka artists you can jam out to but also slow dance with your lover while listening to them

barbatos

classical music on the outside, loud metal on the inside

he’s that mom that drinks vodka and listens to loud metal for his alone time (you know the vine)

hidden theatre kid

but prefers the more dramatic and challenging musicals

les mis, the phantom of the opera, the great comet of 1812

hums the confrontation from les mis while cleaning the castle (both parts)

diavolo

disney enthusiast nr 1 dethrones mammon by a lot

you watched all movies with him and now he loves them and demands more disney karaoke sessions with you

probably used to classical music

but hear me out show him 80s rock and he’ll turn into an american whiskey dad

all the dad bands you could think of? he loves them

led zeppelin, queen, kiss, you name it

solomon

if you thought belphie had diverse tastes

hoo boy

say hello to the king of randomness

you could put angry classical music followed by metal followed by dad rock followed by fleetwood mac followed by david bowie followed by idk random spanish summer songs on the radio followed by edith piaf

and that’d be like his normal playlist

listens to anything which means you can go crazy since nothing makes him happier than being properly surprised by something new

Sub Rosa [49]

iv. a lie guarded

Pairing: Bellamy Blake x reader

Word Count: 3.2k

Warnings: dead people, fighting, violence, snitches get stitches, blood, mentions of nausea.

Summary: you and Bellamy take a small hunting party out in the hopes you can find more food for rations, and you run into an unwelcome group while out in the woods.

a/n: the taglist for this series is open! I hope you enjoy, please let me know what you think!!!

previous chapter // season masterlist // series masterlist

March 18th, 2150; Azgeda territory

With the discovery of Luna's Nightblood metabolizing radiation, Jaha’s failure with the bunker is quickly forgotten. He atones for his sins by drawing your mother an extensive map of Becca’s Island when she expresses interest going there, and soon she sets out with a small group in tow: herself, Raven, Jackson, Miller, Luna, Nyko, Murphy, and his girlfriend, Emori. Clarke desperately tries to join their mission, but with Kane in Polis and your mother leaving, Arkadia needs a doctor and a Chancellor, both roles that she is able to fill.

You and Bellamy keep yourselves busy with the list of tasks left behind by Raven, but it’s only when Clarke comes complaining to you and Bellamy about the failure of the hunting groups do you and Bellamy get the chance to leave Arkadia for a few hours and bring back meat for the rations. You leave early in the morning with Bellamy and a few other guards, the same time your mother leaves with her group, both of you traveling in different directions, working to achieve different goals.

When you reach the woods of Azgeda territory, you and Bellamy divide your small hunting party into three teams of two, spreading each group out in the hopes it will increase your chances of finding something, anything, to kill for meat. You and Bellamy are currently crouched in a line of bushes, mud smeared on your faces, camouflaged from view of anything that might be walking by, completely still and completely silent. As you’re sitting there, waiting, you hear a branch crack nearby, and you and Bellamy exchange excited glances, before peering out into the woods. Your hand tightens around the handle of your knife and you see Bellamy instinctively grip the handle of his axe, both of you lying in wait for the animal to come closer.

Instead of an animal though, you are met with the sound of a scream.

You turn to Bellamy with a look of alarm, both of you recognizing it as one of your own, before jumping out of the bushes and running towards the source of the sound. As you do, you break into a clearing, and there you find three members of your hunting party, sprawled in the grass, throats slashed. You look up and see the fourth, Stephens, on his knees, hands lifted in surrender, shaking with fear. In front of him is someone from Azgeda, dressed in their signature furs and fleece, white war paint covering their face, holding a sword to Stephens throat. As they pull their arm back to kill him, Bellamy reacts, pulling back his arm and sending his axe flying, where it lodges itself into the Azgeda man’s chest. He drops his sword and staggers backwards, and Stephens turns around in alarm, which quickly turns to relief as soon as he sees you and Bellamy. But his relief is short lived, because his eyes lift to something behind you, looking scared again. You turn around just in time to see a large Azgeda man swinging his fist towards you, calling out, “Wanlida!”

You don’t have time to contemplate the unknown Trigedasleng word, because his fist makes contact with your face. Because you turned at the last second, the hit lands in an awkward spot, underneath your left eye, and you feel his large fist smash your cheekbone and part of your nose. The hit knocks you to the ground, and you're sure Bellamy is experiencing the same thing, because you hear a groan of pain from beside you. You try to shake the pain from your face, but realize the movement is accelerating the blood dripping from your nose, mixing with the mud streaked over your skin. The man who hit you slides his arms underneath yours and drags your body over near Stephens, dropping you down beside him.

You start to struggle to your feet, but a knife at your throat lowers you down to your knees. Beside you, Bellamy whispers, “Don't move.”

You comply, and a second later a figure comes to stand in front of the three of you, appraising you. Their face is covered, absent of any war paint, and as they look you over, they gesture to the people near you and Bellamy. “Ai gaf emo in kiken!”

Keep them alive. The voice is familiar to you, and your head cocks to the side slightly, despite the knife at your throat, trying to pinpoint where you’ve heard it. But then the figure points at Stephens and commands, “Frag em op.”

Kill him. You and Bellamy react immediately, not wanting to lose anymore men, and you yell, “Wait, don't kill him!”

“What do you want from us?”

As soon as Stephens hears that they want him dead, he looks at you in alarm, before starting to beg your captors, “Please, don't kill me! I’ll tell you anything, do anything, just let me live!”

The figure in front of him motions for the guard behind him to stop, before they tug down their face mask, revealing their identity.

“Echo,” you deadpan. Because of course it is. Bellamy yells, “Echo, what the hell are you doing?”

She pays you neither of you any mind, however, because she drops down in front of Stephens and muses, “You’ll tell me anything?”

“Yes, anything!”

You protest, “Stephens, shut up!”

“Why are you rebuilding your ship?”

You think of the danger of Echo knowing about Alpha Station, especially when it will barely hold 100 of your people, let alone the entire Ice Nation. You turn to Stephens and warn, “Don't say a word.”

He glances at you, and then at the knife in Echo’s hand, before blurting out, “It’s a shelter from the radiation. It’ll keep Skaikru safe.”

You and Bellamy both yell, “Stephens!”

Echo cuts her eyes towards the two of you and snaps, “Shut them up!”

And that’s all you hear before feeling a sharp pain on your head, and the world goes black.

Your senses come back to you slowly, and the first thing you notice is the rhythmic rise and fall of your body. Then it’s the gag in your mouth, the wind on your face, moving your hair, the restraints on your wrists, and the feel of arms around you. Then comes the horrifying realization that you’re on a horse, bound, gagged, and unable to get off.

Your eyes fly open, and you turn to look at who’s sitting behind you, angered to see that it’s Echo, her gaze locked on the road in front of her. You start to shift, hoping that maybe you can push her off the horse and take off, but then you feel a prick of pain at your side as she warns, “I wouldn't.”

You look down and see your knife pressed into your side, nipping at your skin, and you realize now that it was knocked from your hand when you got knocked over the first time. You let out a huff of frustration and grow still, turning to look at the road as the horse starts to slow. Only now do you realize you are at the gates of Polis, and you’re being led inside like the enemy. Echo pulls the horse to a stop before dismounting and pulling you down, and when your feet hit the ground, you’re relieved to see Bellamy getting off a horse nearby. Stephens is also still alive, likely because of the secrets he sold, and the three of you are being pushed inside of Polis roughly by the group of guards with Echo.

She leads all of you straight to the embassy, before pulling you to a stop outside of the main embassy doors, motioning for all of you to wait quietly. Inside, you can hear two voices going back and forth, and after listening for a moment, you conclude that it’s Kane and Roan. You can't make out enough of their words to figure out what they’re arguing about, but it doesn't matter, because seconds later Roan’s voice rings out loud and clear. “Enough! Echo.”

Echo grabs your arm again and shoves you inside, followed by Stephens, then Bellamy. As you expected, Roan is inside the room, sitting on his throne, while Kane is looking towards all of you in shock, muttering your names as each of you enter. Echo pushes you to your knees, and Bellamy and Stephens are forced to do the same, one on either side of you. You look at Bellamy and find that his eyes are already on you, looking worried. You try to let him know you’re okay with a smile, but the gag restricts most of the movement from your mouth.

Kane closes the space between the three of you, pulling your gaze away from Bellamy and towards him as he reaches out and tips your chin up towards him, the concern in his expression instantly deepening. “Are you okay?”

Only now, when he asks the question, do you realize why the two men seem to look so worried about you, as mud and blood are caked and spread across your face. You nod at Kane, letting him know it looks worse than it is, and he accepts the answer before he turns to Roan and snaps, “What is this?”

Roan rises from his throne and walks towards the three of you. “Echo saw your people rebuilding your ship. She captured these three, among others, hunting in my woods.”

The stoic king motions to Stephens, who still looks just as scared as he did earlier. “This one says it’s a shelter from the radiation.”

You peer at Stephens’ face, the fear mapped across it, and you see that he’s younger than you originally would have guessed, too young to be dealing with the harshness of the ground. Though, maybe you all are. Less than 6 months ago, 100 of you were dropped onto this ticking time bomb of a planet, with little to no supplies, onto a patch of land that was already claimed by someone else. And now, here you are, bound and gagged at the feet of a king.

“It's a backup plan, nothing more.”

“He said that, too, just before he told us that you have a Nightblood. It's a good thing the Flame's been destroyed, or I'd be worried you're planning an Ascension.”

Kane shakes his head, and looks at Roan, insistent. “You have to trust me. We discovered that Nightblood helps metabolize radiation. We're investigating ways to create it for everyone, turn everyone into Nightbloods so we can all survive.”

“Blasphemy. Nothing they tell us is true.”

“This is. It's not blasphemy, it’s science. If Nightblood can save lives, we should use it.”

Roan pauses and seems to consider this for a second, before nodding his head at Echo. You turn her way, wondering what the signal meant, and watch as Echo pulls your knife out of her waistband and slits Stephen's throat, sending blood flying. Stephens drops to the ground and Kane rushes to him, crying out, “No! No!”

You just stare down at his dead body, the look of fear still frozen on his face, forever immortalized that way. Something about it makes you sick in a way that the other dead members of the hunting party didn't, and you have to work to swallow a wave of nausea.

Echo slides your knife back onto her waistband and mutters, “Warriors don't reveal their secrets.”

Roan looks between the three of you that remain alive, for now, and says, “Truth is the first casualty of war. If your motives were pure, you would've shared your plan with me. Our alliance is broken.”

Azgeda warriors file into the room, and pause, waiting for Roan's command. “Skaikru en Trikru bilaik baga.”

Skaikru and Trikru are the enemy. You, Kane, and Bellamy all exchange worried looks, as some of the guards come to stand at yours and Bellamy’s backs. “Hashta emo, Amin?”

What about them, sire? You all wait with bated breath, waiting for Roan to decide your fate. “Kepon. Hon Indra en Okteivia daun. Teik enes au.”

Hostages. Find Indra and Octavia. Kill everyone else. With you and Bellamy still gagged, Kane is the only one who can verbally cry out to Roan and plead for him to change his mind. “No! Listen to me. No!”

But his pleas fall on unlistening ears as you and Bellamy are pulled up off the ground from behind, and Kane is lifted and dragged after you. You and Belllamy fight against the people restraining you, but resistance is futile because you are outnumbered and overpowered easily. You are all led to the cell they held you the last time you were in Polis, and this time Bellamy is chained to the metal bars at the back of the cell, you are chained against one wall, and Kane is chained against the other.

Your gag is cut free from your mouth as soon as you are chained up, and one of the guards disappears and reappears with a rag and a bucket of water. His eyes are kind as he whispers, “Clean yourself up. Him too.”

You nod, watching as he leaves the room, the three of you now alone again. You crouch down and dip the rag into the water and use it to scrub the mud from your face, careful to avoid the sore part near your cheek and nose. Once you get the mud cleaned up, you carefully clean the blood and remaining mud from the injured part of your face, making sure to be gentle to the still tender skin. Once you're cleaned up, you scoot over to Bellamy, who moves as close to you as he can. Luckily, despite the distance of the anchor points for your chains, you're able to get close enough to him to get the mud cleaned off his face, which reveals a cut of his own along his right cheekbone. You clean it carefully, and when you finish, you drape the rag over the edge of the bucket and push it away, before leaning back against the wall and accepting your fate.

The three of you are locked up for hours, and you watch as the sunlight from the small window turns to moonlight, barely illuminating the space. At some point, the kind eyed guard comes in and lights the torches around the room, giving the three of you some light, not that any of you need it. You all spend much of the time lost in your own thoughts or dozing, not even bothering to discuss an escape plan, aware that the odds are too sacked against you as long as you’re locked up in Azgeda run Polis.

Bellamy eventually breaks the silence of the room to mutter, “Doesn't matter what we do. We always end up here, on the brink of war.”

Kane, ever the optimist, immediately disagrees. “Abby's on the island. She'll find a cure, I know she will. We will get through this.”

He says the last sentence to both of you, making sure you both look at him as he says it, understanding that he means, and truly believes, in the words he’s saying. The conversation effectively ends when the door to the cell is opened, and Roan steps inside, followed closely by Echo. “On your feet.”

You all stand, doing as she says, and Kane looks to Roan in confusion. “What are you doing?”

“We're bringing you home. Your ship is shelter from Praimfaya, so I intend to take it.” Roan turns to a few of the guards who linger nearby. “Get them ready to march.”

And as he starts to turn away, Echo still at his side, Bellamy yells, “Octavia will get there first. She'll warn them you're coming, you'll lose.”

Roan and Echo exchange a look, and dread washes over you, not liking the expression that they share. Roan nods to Echo, who turns to face you again, and reaches into her jacket to pull something out and drop it at Bellamy’s feet. As the metal clangs against the stone floor, you realize that it is Octavia’s sword, the one from Lincoln that she never let out of her sight, and it is broken into two pieces, ruined.

You feel your lip quiver slightly, brain already catching onto the events that are playing out, and you turn and look at Bellamy, who is staring down at the sword in horror. Roan watches him for a second before saying, “She wouldn't be taken alive.”

Bellamy’s expression falls, morphing into one of pure anguish, and he shakes his head, not wanting to accept the words as he mutters, “No. No. No.”

“I am sorry.” Bellamy turns away from all of you, grasping onto the bars behind him for support.

Echo adds, “It was a good death.”

Bellamy drops to his knees, letting out the most gut wrenching, heartbreaking cry of pain you’ve ever heard. Watching him fall apart is worse than watching Raven cry over Finn or Octavia cry over Lincoln, because you’re watching Bellamy react to losing the last piece of family he has left in the world. His anguished sobs tear through you, making you want to break down, and when you glance at Kane, you can see that he is crying too. But then you look at Echo, who is watching the scene in front of her, and though she does seem to have some remorse, you don't care. You’re tired of the Azgeda spy who kills anyone that gets in her way, whose loyalties change when it’s most convenient for her, who follows the bidding of a foolish King that thinks he can take a ship full of tech with no idea how to run it.

So instead of sadness, you latch onto anger.

“You’ll die for this, Echo.” She turns to look at you and shock, and you jump towards her, held back only by the chains that are attached to the wall. “I mean it, you useless, terrible spy. You have no honor! You followed a Queen that asked you to betray the very people that saved your life and you didn't hesitate! Now you follow a King that struggles to keep power, because everyone can see that he’s not meant to lead!”

You receive a slap across the face for the last insult, delivered by the heavy hand of one of the guards, blood instantly blooming into your mouth. You spit in the guards face, “Truth hurts doesn't it?”

The man lurches towards you again, but Roan yells out in a tired voice. “Enough! Bring the prisoners.”

And then he turns to leave the room, done with the drama in the cell. Echo lingers for a second, watching Bellamy, and as she turns away, you continue hurling insults at her, “You’re done Echo! You hear me? I’ll kill you myself!”

She leaves the room stiffly, your words clearly affecting her. You don't have time to enjoy the victory because a bag is harshly pulled over your head, cutting off your sight, and chains are connected to your hands and feet before they remove you from the chains that connect you to the wall. You can hear the clanking of two other sets of chains as you are shoved from the room, along with Bellamy’s quiet sobs. You stumble out of the room, eyesight impaired, as one guard mutters, “Moron, Skaikru wan op.”

Tomorrow, Skairkru dies.

Bellamy Blake x reader

Part 2

“A thank you would be nice.”

You kept walking, ignoring the fact that Bellamy was right next to you.

“Oh, I’m sorry Bellamy, do you want me to thank you for freeing me after locking me up?”

You entered your room trying to close the door, but Bellamy still made it inside.

“I’m doing this for you! To protect you! You and Octavia are the most important people in my life, and I can’t lose you to the Grounders.”

“Bullshit Bellamy. Keep telling yourself that. The Grounders weren’t attacking , they were sent to protect us! Can’t you see what you’ve become?”

You finally looked at Bellamy and you noticed a tear falling on his cheek.

“You’re not the Bellamy I loved anymore. You let them lock me up. You let them lock Lincoln up. Pike wants to kill every Grounder, and if he has to take down some of his own, he will. Don’t think he’ll save you if you need.”

Bellamy now had more tears running down his face and you tried to keep yourself together.

“He told me he would protect you and Octavia. I can’t lose you! I love you and if this what I need to do to keep you safe, then that’s what I’m going to do, even if you hate me for that.”

“Go float yourself.”

Bellamy left the room and after you heard the door closing you sat in your bed crying.

You, your father, Harper and Miller had been spending the last week coming up with a plan. You were kinda nervous, but it was working. You had Pike on the jeep and the door were open. There was only a small problem.

“Bellamy get out of the way!”

“I’m sorry Y/n I can’t let you do this!”

You were starting to get nervous and you were trembling. You heard Kane’s voice.

“Y/n you can do this, c’mon.”

“I’m trying!”

Expect you weren’t. You couldn’t hit Bellamy, even if you wanted to, you couldn’t. You loved him. You felt someone grabbing you and putting handcuffs around your wrists. You turned your head around and saw Bellamy mouthing an “I’m sorry”.

You had been sobbing for the past hour, while your dad held you in his arms and rubbed your back.

“I’m so sorry, I should have just ran him over.”

Your father looked you in the eyes with a look you knew well, he used to do it when you where only a kid and broke something. It always made you feel good, as if it wasn’t your fault.

“It’s fine Y/n. We understand, it’s not your fault.”

“Chancellor on deck!”

You rolled your eyes and swiped away the tears as you saw the guards and Pike.

“I thought we had more time.” Marcus murmured under his breath, holding you closer to him, as if it would protect you.

You saw Bellamy appear from behind Pike and you locked eyes with him.

“Each of you have committed the same crimes and as such, will all suffer the same punishment. Death.”

“Excuse me ? What did they do? I was the one the one driving the jeep, all they did was follow my orders.”

Kane grabbed your arm pulling you down.

“I think what Y/n is trying to say is that my people did nothing . Don’t let them suffer for my crimes....please.”

It was the first time you heard Lincoln begging for anything and you could hear the despair on his voice.

“Sir, Lincoln’s right. All the others did was run through an open door, the same thing we would do if we were in there.”

Bellamy murmured, glancing over at you. You looked away, you couldn’t even stare at Bellamy without wanting to attack him.

“I believe that’s true. Kane , Lincoln, Sinclair and Y/n. As the leaders of this coup, you will pay for your crimes with your lives. Execution is set for dawn.”

You finally looked over to Bellamy to see his reaction. His eyes were red and tears were running down his cheek.

“Ai laik going gon frag op Yu.”

“I told you to stop speaking their language.”

“Jok Yu pike. En hon daun Belomi kom Yu gon hell.”

Pike left the room followed by Bellamy and his guards. Bellamy looked at you one last time, his heart beating faster than ever. He made a mistake , and he only realized that now.

“Ai badan klin hayon taim emo dula op anything gon em Ai na frag op emo.”

“Ething na na ku Y/n , Ai laik hir gon Yu”

You heard footsteps and saw your dad being dragged by some guards back to the cell.

“Dad! Are you okay? What did they do to you ?”

“It was Abby. She asked for one last moment with me.”

“Oh. Abby.”

You looked down. You were truly happy for your dad, you just never thought he would be with anyone but your mom.

“Y/n I..”

You interrupted him.

“You love her.”

You only realized what you said after you said it . Your dad looked at you with a sad look, reminding your mom. You looked exactly like her.

“It’s fine. Mom would understand it . I understand it. “

You put your hand on top of his, smiling sadly.

“Octavia ? Oh my god.”

You ran to your best friend and hugged her tightly.

“Yu found yumi.”

“Always.”

Octavia looked tired, but relieved at the same time.

“We need to move quick, it won’t take Pike long to figure out something’s up.”

“Where are we going exactly?”

Your dad looked at Octavia hoping she had a plan. And she did .

“Down.” She answered as she lifted up one of the square floorboards revealing a small space.”Who wants to go first?”

One by one, everyone started getting inside, until it was only you, Lincoln , Octavia and Kane left.

“I have a message for the traitors.” Pike’s voice spoke through the radio. “There will be an execution today. Either turn yourselves in, or the other grounder prisoners will die in your place.”

You stayed still as Octavia and Lincoln talked. It was your fault.

“No!” Octavia cried out and you turned around to see her passed away on your dad’s arms.

“honey c’mon.”

“I’m going dad.”

You smiled at him, although you knew exactly what you were going to do.

“Ai laik going kom Yu. Oso gon daun together.”

“Nou! Yu are going kom emo, stay klir. Gon Ai.”

“Em ste Ai fault emo are going gon get don frag op. Ai laik going kom Yu.”

You were going to die. This was it. This was the end. You were staring at Pike, with a gun on his hand pointed at Lincoln’s head. And then you saw Kane with his hand on Octavia’s shoulder. Octavia was crying, her eyes red. You wanted to hug her and tell her everything was going to be okay, but you couldn’t. Cause after Lincoln, it was your turn. You were so focused on Octavia that you trembled when you heard a gunshot and looked over to where Lincoln was, just in time to see him falling, blood everywhere. Suddenly, the tears that had been threatening to fall for a while, finally did and you started screaming.

“Lincoln. Nou. Ai laik going gon frag op Yu pike. Ai hate Yu.”

But before you could do anything you were grabbed and forced to kneel on the same place Lincoln was before they dragged him out. Pike had a familiar smirk on his face. He was clearly enjoying this. You looked over to where Octavia and Kane were, but this time Kane was holding Octavia. He locked eyes with you with a sad look, as if he was begging you to do something.

“Any last words?”

Pike asked you, what he probably asked Lincoln. You were disgusted by him . You looked to your father again. Tears were running down his face as he tried to run to you, but Indra wouldn’t let him.

“ Ai na hod in Yu feva.”

And you heard a gunshot. But you didn’t feel anything. Instead, Pike fell on the floor and Bellamy was pointing a gun at him.

“Bellamy.”

Bellamy ran over to you and hugged you. He grabbed your hand and you two started running away, hearing gunshots that missed you for inches. When you were finally safe, you and Bellamy stopped running.

“You saved me.”

“I love you.”

alrighty i used to try to find posts to reblog with my review but now that tumblr has this new system of notifying the op with all the tags, i don’t want to spam someone with my hella long tags lol. so now i have to stick with this system of shitty-quality cover pic + my review in an original post for all reviews now lol

anyway. just read 3-chapter oneshot kokuhaku no jikan by tsubasa yamaguchi which is actually by the same mangaka of blue period fame. i had heard from my sibling that she had done a shounen ai but didn’t look it up so i was taken by surprise when i opened this newly uploaded manga to one of the sites i check; the art looked so familiar but there was no other works by them on the site and then i realized the art was familiar bc the art here is a rougher version of the pretty art you see posted across tumblr/twitter for blue period lol. anyway enough abt the art

rough summary of story: 2 high school boys’ paths cross one day bc of a relay race they both join. they become close romantically and they eventually decide they’re going to confess to each other to make it official (this is explicitly discussed bw the 2 of them). the day of this planned confession, one of them (urashima) gets into a non-fatal accident and the other guy (imada) confesses to him at his bedside. imada returns the next day and turns out urashima’s memory now resets every 24 hours post-accident -- so he remembers everything up until the accident but not afterwards. imada decides to confess to him every day to remind urashima they’re lovers but eventually this repetition with essentially no reward begins to take its toll...

i actually really liked this story tbh. i think it’s a very straight-forward story but also is complex at the same time (if that makes sense) -- it’s basically 2 guys trying to communicate but there’s an exterior issue causing their miscommunication. it’s such a standard story but this case is refreshing bc 1. the 24hr memory reset is believable. there are differences bw long-term and short-term memory retention and i’ve heard of illnesses/neuroses where ppl can’t retain memories irl so this whole thing isn’t entirely pulled out of the author’s ass and 2. the miscommunication issue is very much due to an external issue and not them jumping through fucking mental hoops to convince themselves to not see the situation accurately. i did read through the story pretty quick so tbh i didn’t really absorb too much abt how the author presented their conflict, but i think the obstacles that get in their way and the way these two high-schoolers respond to those obstacles are very believable.

the story also progresses well too: beginning with them in their own little world and then eventually outside forces along with time question their relationship which then makes them question themselves. i don’t think anything got elongated uncomfortably and it follows the standard story conflict progression (initial problem presented, things pile up until conflict comes to a head, conflict then solution, then coast to the ending) with each event/plot point transitioning well into each other. the ending of them proposing to each other isn’t anything new, a standard dramatic romantic end -- dramatic bc like uh you’re high schoolers, how can you possibly dedicate your lives to one another already but i mean they’re going through this whole situation with one of them literally having a memory loop and yet still love each other at the end -- imada has already proven himself to be willing to dedicate himself to urashima regardless of what happens so.

anyway it’s technically kind of a sad story since in the end, urashima prob won’t be able to really retain memories past 24hr well into the future, but it was still good bc urashima does still have the memories of their burgeoning relationship and they’re together in the end with the ring reminder for him daily. i think it would’ve been REAL emo if they made it so that urashima didn’t have memories of their burgeoning relationship so imada had to help him fall in love with him over and over, but i think them having that initial foundation made the story believable/more straightforward and the ending hopeful rather than bittersweet.

tl;dr is that the story was well-done, nice and simple but also complex enough to not be boring. i don’t think the premise is that unique, like i’ve read stories of ppl forgetting their lovers and so the lover has to work to be with them again, but this story did that premise very well and in a believable way without having to really get into under-developed details. the author is good with expressing emotions through body language/facial expressions too. it’s a cute story that provides both conflict and sweet stuff with a happy ending.

side note but i’ve been wanting to read blue period for a while, and this honestly has incentivized me to actually go and pick it up. this work is obviously one of the author’s early works if the art wasn’t obvious enough, and surely she’s polished up her writing and art skills in the time since so i can see why ppl would be into blue period past its messages about the struggles of doing and pursuing art. i’m looking forward to it!

#reading #kokuhaku no jikan #this review is not that polished so i hope tagging the title doesn't net me that much attention if any #i'm purposely not tagging the author bc i'm sure her tag is followed for blue period stuff #idk why this review was so hard to write #i mean it has been a while since i've done a review and i didn't really have much to say abt this story bc i read through it p fast #it didn't really trigger me emotionally tbh bc it wasn't super sad but it was done well

Avery Emerson Clay: What If the Fish Picks A Different Hook?

Anti-climatic. That’s what sharing an elevator with Max was because it wasn’t as if our staff could do anything to hold him or show our hand. Max wasn’t actually wanted for anything. He was something of an enigma. The entire fucking point was to get Max to grab my ass, and instead he just rode the elevator and acted polite.

I told my three earbuddies, and they pulled the video, confirmed that Max was my elevator buddy, and then we - well we went back to the same shit different day. Literally. Wash, rinse, repeat.

If it worked once, then clearly we should be able to net his ass again, right?

I had doubts, but who was I in this mess? Bait, remember, that’s who I was in this mess. The worm on the hook.

My first tingling, niggling feeling of something being terribly wrong came Wednesday morning. Rose had a schedule she kept almost religiously. In fact, I couldn’t remember a time she missed one of her scheduled days, she’d never taken a sick day. I was having my breakfast, with my shorts and another one of the many ridiculous shirts in place on the off chance that Max decided to pop up on my extra jogging trips, when I glanced at the clock.

“Dad,” he was flipping through the paper, his breakfast almost crumbs forgotten on his plate and his cup had been refreshed by Jake as he grabbed another cup for himself, so I got a grunt to let me know he heard me. “It’s almost ten.” Another grunt, but I saw his eyes shift to the top of the paper and then they met mine. “Did you run Rose through the same op shit that you ran me through?” I felt sick, Rose, OUR Rose at the mercy of Max - who looked like a pansy but this asshole had killed children without a hint of indecision. She’d been given self-defense classes, everyone tangentially involved with our family was, but Rose was ROSE.

Clay came into the kitchen to grab another cup of coffee and he picked up on the tension immediately. “What?” My eyes wandered back to the clock and so did his, and somehow he knew. “Where’s Rose?”

On the upside, I didn’t have to go jogging. On the downside, Rose was missing.

Mom and I had called her cell phone with the result that we both managed to get her voicemail, which did nothing to soothe either of our nerves. Clay and Dad, while clearly the more tactical and hardass of the family, were doing a better job of hiding their worry under a heavy layer of stoicism, but as Clays we knew a layer of shit when we saw it. They were as worried as we were, and while Jake worked to track Rose’s cell phone, Clay had another computer working with one of his programs hacking into the traffic cameras between her house and ours.

Nothing. That’s what we were finding as the minutes ticked down into hours. And I was getting more and more anxious. As my anxiety ratcheted, so did my energy level and Mom sensed it as easily as Clay had the tension when he walked into the kitchen.

“Avery, let’s go to the gym.” I shot her a look that I hope she understood meant I was less than receptive to the idea of leaving while they were in the middle of searching for Rose, but she shook her head and her lips were thin enough to cut paper. “Now.”

I was practically vibrating as we walked out of the library, where Clay and Dad had set up the search. I hadn’t noticed that Aisha, Cougar, and Pooch weren’t around, but Mom offered that they were actually on foot and in Cougar’s case, I thought, in perches, taking a look around to try to pick up Rose’s tracks. She was telling me, as she led me to the gym, that everyone was doing their best to find her. Rose was a priority, but I needed to calm the fuck down.

In the gym, she sighed as Rose’s choice hit our ears. Instead of changing it, I stiffened my spine and wrapped my hands. “You can change it,” but I shook my head.

Crappy, emo chick shit would have to do because Rose had been the last person in the gym. Kicking off my shoes, I stepped onto the mat where a new dummy had been put in the place of the one I’d destroyed. Staring into the unseeing face, I visualized the dark hair, the smug face and the linen suit and then I went to work.

Mom only stopped me when she thought I needed hydration, or when she thought my hand wraps might need changed. Aside from that, she let me beat the stuffing, literally, out of dummy number two. Since Jake was busy and she knew that I would rather he stay that way while Rose was missing, she kept me company.

“Here,” she stepped up and handed me another bottle of water, smiling because I was pacing myself much better than the last time I handed the dummy its ass. “Are you feeling less -” she considered how to follow up, but shook her head. “Well?”

I was out of breath, a well earned sweat coating me and saturating what would have been my jogging clothes, and I didn’t feel as on edge as I had when we left the others to come into the gym. The music that was playing was starting to annoy me, which was a good sign too. I nodded and stepped off the mat, happy to see that the dummy was still standing, even if it was a little worse for the wear.

Taking a long pull from the bottle she handed me, I gratefully took the towel she offered next. “Thanks, Mom.” We walked to the bench where I’d kicked off my shoes before hitting the mat. Sitting down, I stared at the tiny flecks of dummy dust that were dancing in the artificial light of the gym while Rose’s craptastic music continued to assault our ears. “It should be me.” I felt it gnawing at my insides, the fear that Max - a man who looked like he wouldn’t tie his own fucking shoelaces could be hurting ROSE of all people. “I was pissed at everyone for even thinking of making me do it, but it SHOULD BE ME.”

“Hey,” I turned to look into what I knew everyone would say was a mirror of my future. My mom, the older ME. “Don’t do that, Avery. Don’t blame yourself for something that a monster does.” I stared at her, wondering how she managed to get over what happened to her during her fateful Spring Break. “No one decides what bad men do, but bad men. Even if your father and brother think they’re incredibly smart and better at the game.” She fidgeted with her bracelets and I glanced down, seeing the faint lines that were still visible after so many years. When I looked back up a smirk had found a home on her lips. “People think I wear them because they’re sentimental, because your father gave them to me when he rescued me.” He did, I knew the story like I knew all the others. “He gave them to me so I could hide the open wounds that the wire they bound me in cut into me. Even with the bandages, I felt self conscious.”

I bit my lip, wondering if Rose was going to need her own bracelets. “What if we don’t -”

“Don’t do that either, Avery Emerson.” My eyes were burning and I was fighting the tears. “Don’t give up before we even get started.” She sounded as firm as she had when she cut Dad off during his attitude with Jake over dinner. “We’ll find Rose. We will, and I almost feel sorry for this Max.” I stared at her in disbelief. “What? I can have compassion for a monster who has fucked up so massively as to have brought down the wrath of the Clay family by attacking one of our own.”

I sat up straighter, she was right. Max didn’t know who the fuck he was messing with, and taking Rose was a bridge too far.

“There’s my girl,” Mom smiled. “Now, go get a shower and redress. We’ll make lunch and see where we are in the search.” She helped me off the bench and clucked me under my chin. “Remember Avery, Clays aren’t quitters.”

I nodded. Grabbing my shoes, I kissed her cheek on my way out. I grinned when I noticed that she was kicking her own shoes off as I was leaving.

Blood Colors - Chapter 14

-Masterlist

Pairing: Roan x Reader

Warnings: None

A/n: It’s been a long while, but here we are. Little bit of a filler chapter

Previous Chapter

Chapter 1

You sit up suddenly from the bed where you had fallen asleep not remembering the rousing thought that brought you out of your sleep but still feeling the panic of it. Roan is nowhere to be seen, you cringe at the thought that people will talk the moment you walk out of the King’s room after leaving your quarters vacated for the night. The blanket and ruffled cushions on the couch in the corner gives you the idea that Roan had avoided the bed altogether, not add to your embarrassment further. You linger in the room afraid to step out in the hallway and honestly knowing you won't be able to look Roan in the eyes. This could cost him, and it was all because of your carelessness.

A little ashamed, you walked to the only other place you could think Roan would be, ready to apologize. Roan was in the throne room as you expected with Echo, clearly in a heated discussion. "There you are," Roan said, seemingly glad to find a distraction from the argument.

"Am I interrupting?" All thought of your earlier embarrassment forgotten

"Well, it depends-" Echo started but was quickly interrupted by Roan.

"Echo, I have heard enough," Roan spoke firmly, Echo quickly shutting up despite the discontent on her face.

"What's going on?" You asked.

"I need you to accompany me on a small outride,"

"An outride?" You questioned, seriously amused. "What's next? Picnic in the meadows?" Roan wasn't too happy with your sarcasm. "What?"

"Meet me in the stables in an hour." Roan left.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" You huffed when Roan had gone.

"Maybe because someone else was sleeping in it?" Echo suggested almost innocently.

You only gave her a meaningful glare.

Finally, after quite the wait you spotted Roan in the courtyard heading towards the stables. Peculiarly, four horses had been saddled but you dismissed it as being for guards until you saw the young women walking beside the King. She was clearly Azgeda with her facial markings on her brow bones and temples, an elegant pattern that drifted of into her shaven sides as far back as her ears. The top of her hair was braided into an intricate tangle of hair that hanged over her shoulder. Her fine fair face gave nothing away by the nature of her talent except for the twin swords that hanged at her sides, you could be sure they were not just for show.

"Nymph, this is (y/n), a warrior from my guard."Roan introduced. "(Y/n) this is the lady Nymph, her father is the Lord Gaz who sits on my war council." You simply nodded and watched trying to figure out what this was and what she was of Roan. When the introductions had finished, you all clambered into the saddle.

The fourth horse was saddled for the man who seemed to be the lady's guard-man, but you both regarded each other with a wary glance as you fell in beside each other, giving some distance to the two.

Your mouth had gone tight, you knew exactly what this was and it almost angered you to the core. Roan had asked you to be his chaperone, his baby sitter while he went on a play date with whoever this chick was. There was a sort of acquaintance between the two that was furthermore infuriating and then there was the matter of casual conversation with giggles and laughter that irked you to no end.

You were set on edge, your stomach had a constant flutter of nervousness, you still had Aleksondria to deal with. But it was more than that, looking at Roan and this Nymph it stirred something you've felt when watched those men burn, heartsore was the only way to describe what you felt. It had to have been only because this might mean the King's attention would be divided, like now.

Thankfully, Roan kept the route short. But you had some words to share with him and your mind was running over how you would say it. You watched Roan say goodbye and then he motioned for you to follow him which you did. Echo was waiting for you in Roan's chambers when you returned.

"Say it and be done with it." Roan bode you both.

"We have much more important matters to tackle, matters pertaining to your life, what are you trying to accomplish? Trying to find someone you can hump at night?" You stated. Echo couldn't help but snort and maybe you were a little harsh.

"I know this was untimely, in truth I had set this date long ago and unfortunately I had forgotten to change it. My claim to the throne is weak which means I need to secure it with a queen by my side and an heir. You know this. I thought at least I'd have your respect and helpful input in the matter."

"I understand this is part of your royal duties or whatever but don't you think we should first ensure that you stay alive and we can only do this if we do something about Aleksondria." You tried to keep your anger in check.

"She has a point, Roan." Echo agreed.

"Which is why we will discuss it after this argument. Unfortunately, this will continue for six more days." Roan said

"Six days?"You were shocked.

"Five suitors for five days, plus the betrothal ceremony. That's Azgeda tradition." Echo added.

Silence followed as you processed this, clearly angry as you swiped your tongue across your teeth and took a deep breath to contain your anger.

"Fine. What is to be done about Aleksondria?"

"We have to watch her, we need her to make a mistake before we can convict her of anything otherwise the court will question my decision if I punish or execute her," Roan answered. "That's not the worst of it." Roan said and plucked a letter from the table "This came early in the morning, he should be almost here by now." He handed you the letter as you tried to read on his face who 'he' was.

Though significantly injured, I survived and I am ready to return to court. You scanned the letter and then almost dreaded looking at the signature. ' Nire.'

"I bashed open his skull, how could he still be alive?"

"We don't know. Because he was nobleman we had to send his body back to his family, someone must have discovered he was still breathing." Roan said. You lean on the closest thing to you, the chair to the desk, you wish you had checked if he had a pulse. "At most, he's a day out, we will be receiving him by tomorrow morning and he will answer for his crimes."

"He knows he will be confronted about what he did, punished for what he did, why would he come back? Unless he has some ulterior motive." Echo pointed out.

"Meaning that if we accuse him, we would be playing right into his hands." You sighed, glancing at both Roan and Echo.

"It would be better, in that case, to hold off on it, at least until we know." Roan agreed.

"In other matters, I need you to please entertain Lady Nymph, show her the castle, maybe venture into town with her," Roan asked. You were about to protest when Roan cut you off just as you opened your mouth. "I need your opinion of her." You nodded, you turned on your heel to leave. "Echo, I have an errand for you." You heard him say as you left.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

"King Roan takes pride in his men and he had every right to, they are some of the best and fearless fighters." You said as you overlooked the courtyard.

"Em jos chich op emo sleng. (She only speaks their language)." Nymph's guard noted.

"Ai sen klin yo (I understand you)." You pointed out before the lady Nymph can answer, he looked a little shocked.

"We shouldn't be so judgmental after all Jus Gona was first Skaikru." The Lady Nymph came to your defence as the man in her service clamped his mouth tight and glared at you. "Jus Gona, I would love to visit the village, I'll meet you at the gate."

"Lady Nymph, I know the king suggested it but I would advise against it, the unrest since the battle has been brewing." You explained. The last thing you would want is to be caught in a sticky situation.

"Are you suggesting that I can't do my job?" The guard asked, clearly this one didn't like you.

"No, I just-"

"The Jus Gona just means that she would need extra help, it is as dangerous as she suggests and we must all be extra careful." A voice said from behind you in an accent you couldn't quite place. You turned to face the man who had spoken, a little lost for words.

"Good, then we shall meet you at the gate after lunch." The lady Nymph said.

"Who the hell are you?" You questioned when they had gone.

"Cedree, Echo's second." He offered you.

"Where's Echo then?"

"Well I would say, right there," He glanced past you over your shoulder, you turned and saw Echo saddling her horse.

You walked closer at a brisk pace, "Where the hell are you going?" She was clearly dressed to leave, a thick cloak about her shoulders and fully stuffed saddlebags. Echo gave you a distasteful look and continued to tighten the girth.

"None of your business, Jus Gona." When she was done she climbed into the saddle.

"So I'm just supposed to deal with this whole situation on my own."

"Well, you could ask me." A voice said from behind you. You glanced behind you, Cedree had, of course, followed you.

"There you have it."

"What? No, Echo you can't just-" But she was trotting away before you could finish your sentence.

"So what exactly is the situation we are dealing with?" He questioned, you turned to him.

"You don't sound Azgeda." You observed

"You don't either." It was a fair point. He flashed an annoying smile again when you didn't respond.

"Wipe that stupid thing off your face."

"This is my normal face." He answered.

"Why did you do that earlier?"

"Whatever Lady Nymph wants, we need to grant it to her." You clearly weren't at all persuaded by that. "Believe me, Jus Hainofi, you don't want to make an enemy of her."

"Fine. I have some things to do before we leave." You turned to walk away, but Cedree was quick to grab your elbow.

"Not so fast, sweetheart, I'll need some sort of favour in return."

"What do you mean 'favour'?" You asked, he shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't worry, it won't be murder or anything." You couldn't read through his cocky grin but you accepted anyway, your brain already set on your next task.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

You had an hour or so before you had to be at the gate, which means you had ample time to find Izobel. You should have searched for her long ago to apologise but your shame mixed with the fear was enough to drive you to complete avoidance, to your luck, she had not returned since that night when you had so Royaly screwed everything.

Despite the time that you had spent trying to research the marks on your back, you were still not clued up.

You had asked around for Izobel but no one seemed to know where she was, or if she had left, the only thing you could find out was where here living quatres is or was, you would find out soon. The Servant's living quatres were behind the palace in its own little structure and when you reached the door with the symbol you had written down, you knocked. You waited but no one answered, and knocked again but there was still no reply. So you tried to take the initiative, you pulled on the door handle, expecting it to be locked but it twisted easily the door sliding open. The first thing that hit you was the smell and you gagged, you knew this smell, it was death. Covering your mouth you didn't feel the need to call for Izobel, hidden behind the bed, was the body.

Flies were everywhere, and the body was an unnatural red, the stomach bloated. She was almost not recognisable but you could make out some main features. Well, you had found her, just not maybe in this exact state. The floor beneath her was spattered with blood, you doubted that this was an accident.

You told Roan about it immediately when you went back to the Palace, finding him in his rooms as always. "How did you know to look for her?" Was the first thing he asked.

"We had a little argument. She saw the marking son my back and wanted to tell someone, I, on the other hand, did not want her to tell anyone because I still don't know what it means." Roan nodded.

"Let's talk about it later tonight, I'll send someone to clean up this mess but I'm thinking she told someone and they didn't want to get out so they killed her. We need to keep this to ourselves tonight."

"One last thing, can I trust Cedree?" You asked.

"Echo's second. Echo chose him for a reason, don't underestimate him, he can be a powerful ally although his not much liked by others due to him not being born Azgeda." Roan said, you nodded and left.

When you reached the gate Cedree was already waiting. "What? Were you napping?" He questioned.

"I'm not late." You scoffed.

"You're not on time." He pointed out and you simply rolled your eyes. This was going to be one long stroll. Your responsibilities arrived not long after and without much delay you went on your way. Cedree was a good guide, he pointed out some things worth noting while you kept silent and kept your eyes on the streets. Lady Nymph took her time to browse through the selections that the vendors had while Cedree helped her in her decisions.

"Ai nou wich in you (I don't trust you)." Her guard whispered to you.

"Ai nou gifa in (I don't care)." You answered pacing along slowly. as you watched the street, people were beginning to stare.

It was almost like you first few days in Redak when a group of people came to stand closer and the first thing that Lady Nymph's dumbass guards did was draw his sword "Set raun weron yu ste kamp (Stay where you are)!" He said stepping closer to his charge.

"Mokswoma, chil yu daun (Worm, stand down)!" You snapped at him.

"Osir gaf em Fraga (We want the murderer)." One of the men in the crowd said. The mood had shifted since the idiot had drawn his sword.

"You protect her, let me deal with this," Cedree said, curious to see him at work you allowed it. "Dison laik fok op. Chil yu duan. (This is a mistake. Stand down.)" Cedree announced.

"Veida! Fraga! Notrona! Frag emo op. (Invaders! Murderer! Traitors! Kill them.)" The leader announced. They started charging, there must have been about ten to fifteen people as you stuck close to your charge.

Cedree was a quick mover slicing through the people who came to close, barley a few slipped past who you could easily takedown. What you didn't expect was the Vendor to step forward from behind her stall, knife in hand, Nymph's guard was her first target and when she cam for Nymph you ripped her out of the way and killed the woman. Nymph cried out for the man her service but you didn't have time to tend to him as he choked on his own blood, instead you focused on the two men running to you, you parried one attack killed the other and before you could strike down the man remaining Cedree stapped him through the head." You could feel the droplets of blood spray onto your face as he collapsed.

"We need to get her safely back before it inspires any more treason." The streets were empty now, everyone had fled the scene not wanting to be caught up in the battle but you had no doubt more people were lurking in alleyways waiting to attack.

"We can't just leave him," Nymph said.

"He's dead." You said roughly grabbing her by the shoulder, you didn't have time to lay it to her gently as you hauled her along when you started through the streets back.

Noticing the chaos you were soon accompanied by guards back to the palace, and the way back went smoother with the extra company.

Masterlist

(Not my photo, credit to whoever made it!)

Bellamy’s POV

I was inside, they kept me in chains and cleaned me from head to toe along with everyone else. Once they were done with that they injected something into my arm and shot a pill down my throat. They scrubbed us down so hard that I started bleeding, I couldn’t help but scream. I just kept reminding myself that this was for our people. At some point I passed out, maybe that’s because of the pill they shot down my throat. I woke up in a cage and there were so many other people in them around me. Most of them were shouting, some were too weak to. I tried to break the lock on the cage but it wouldn’t budge, not without something to break it open.

“Shof op. Emo teik daun yuj.” (Quiet. They take the strongest.) A girl in the cage next to me said.

“I can’t… I don’t understand you.” I said and she looked over at me pissed.

“Sky person?” She asked and I nodded, then she spit on me.

“I take it no one has told you we’re not enemies anymore.” I said and she just sat back glaring at me.

“I need to get out of this cage.” I whispered.

“And then what?” She asked.

“And then I’ll kill everyone in this mountain.” I said and tried to break the cage open again.

Y/N’s POV

When I woke up Cage wasn’t in the room, I guess he had work early. I got dressed in one of the many dresses Cage picked for me along with a pair of heels.

I started doing some art but then the door to the room opened maybe an hour later. I expected it to be Cage, but when I turned around it was two guards.

“Miss. Y/N?” One asked.

“Yes?” I asked worriedly.

“Please come with us, the President would like to see you.” The other said and I nodded. I followed them down the halls and to an office.

“Mr. President, we brought the girl.” One said and the elder man walked out from behind his canvas.

“Y/N, come in, thank you for bringing her, that will be all.” He said and the two men nodded. They left the room and shut the door behind them. One walked off and the other stayed by the door.

“Please, take a seat.” He said wiping his hands of paint. I sat down and looked around the room nervously.

“Why am I here?” I asked worried that I did something wrong.

“Relax dear, I simply wanted to know about the girl that peaked my son’s interest.” He said and leaned against his desk.

“So, you’re Clarke’s sister?” He asked and I narrowed my eyes.

“That was a long time ago, I’m not a sky person anymore.” I said with a slight edge to my voice.

“No one is a sky person or grounder here Y/N, you’re finally safe.” He said and I just nodded so we could move on from this. I wasn’t safe, but I wasn’t going to say that to him.

“President Wallace?” Jasper’s voice filled my ears before either of us could say something else.

“Can we talk?” He asked and I turned around.

“Jasper?” I asked and he looked at me shocked.

“Y/N! You’re okay!” He said relieved. I got up and hugged him and he hugged me back.

“Are you really okay?” He whispered in my ear and I nodded.

“Just want to get out of here.” I whispered back.

“What’s on your mind, son?” President Wallace said. The two of us pulled apart and turned to face him.

“My friends.” Jasper said walking closer to him.

“What about them?” Wallace asked and I looked at Jasper confused.

“Two of them are missing.” He said and my eyes widened.

“Who’s missing?” I asked worriedly.

“One of them is Monty. Tell me where they are.” He said.

“Jasper, I don’t know what you’re-”

“Stop lying.” Jasper cut him off.

“Excuse me?” He asked.

“You lied about there not being any survivors from The Ark.” Jasper said and I felt my spirits lift a little, I may not be one of them but if they saved me I could go back to Lexa and John could still be alive.

“You lied about Maya’s accident. I don’t even know how many lies you told about Clarke.” He said and I noticed he was getting worked up.

“Please, sit down and we-”

“No!” Jasper shouted and grabbed the sword on Wallace’s desk.

“Jasper!” I said shocked. He held the sword up to the President’s throat.

“You’re gonna tell me the truth.” He said.

“Jasper. Please, put down the sword.” The President said trying to calm him.

“Why should I?” He asked.

“Jasper, really listen to him.” I said and he glanced at me.

“If we find them Y/N, you can get back to Murphy.” He said and I bit my lip. I wasn’t strong enough to help him and he knew it.

“Are you gonna make us disappear next?” He asked and my heart sank at the thought, Cage wouldn’t let that happen to me right? I can’t believe I’m thinking that…

“Where are they?” He asked again.

“I told you, I don’t know that happened to your friends.” Wallace said. Jasper moved closer to him and I moved behind him, I doubt I’d be able to stop him in the state I was in, but I could try.

“Do I look desperate to you?” He asked.

“Because I’m feeling pretty desperate.” He said and I could tell, honestly I felt the same way. I wanted out of here just as much as everyone else did.

“You’re right. I did lie about Clarke. About the survivors from The Ark. And about what happened to Maya. I’m trying to protect you, Jasper. All of you.” The President said.

“Where are they? Where the hell is Monty?” He shouted and in seconds President Wallace had Jasper against the wall with the sword to his throat.

“Jasper!” I said shocked and worried. I moved next to Jasper and looked at The President.

“Please don’t hurt him.” I begged.

“This is not a toy.” Was all he said to us. He pulled the sword away from Jasper and I moved in front of him, just to check his neck.

“Are you okay?” I asked and he nodded slightly. He pulled me to him in a protective way as the guard from outside came into the room.

“Yes, sir?” He asked.

“Could you please find out where Dr. Tsing and my son are at the moment?” President Wallace asked. I looked up at Jasper and saw a few tears fall down his face.

“Anything else, sir?” The guard asked looking at us.

“Not presently.” He said and the guard nodded then left to do the job he’d been given.

“Let’s take a walk.” The President said putting the sword down and looked at us.

“Where?” Jasper asked as he tightened his grip on me.

“To find your friends.” He said and turned walking away. Jasper looked at me and I bit my lip. We followed after him.

Clarke’s POV

We got back to Camp Jaha and set the two injured men on tables. My mom was working on the Grounder that had been shot while I was with the Mountain Man.

“This guy’s from Mount Weather. We’ll need to keep him alive.” I told the guys that were helping me place him down.

“There was a tear in his suit, but we fixed it in the field.” I told Jackson as Raven walked up.

“Anything from Bellamy?” I asked her.

“No.” She said.

“Then why aren’t you with the radio?” I asked her.

“Octavia just took my place. So how about you back off?” She said to me.

“No. Leave it on. It’s the only thing keeping him alive.” I said stopping Jackson from removing his suit.

“How can we treat a guy if we can’t touch him?” He asked.

“I can rig up some scrubbers in the air lock.” Raven said and we looked at her.

“Give me 20 minutes.” She said then rushed off.

“Damn it!” My mother said and Jackson walked over to her.

“I’m losing him. I need the blood now!” She shouted. I watched as the light left his eyes.

“He’s gone…” My mother said. Indra walked over to him with her dagger out.

“Yu gonplei ste odon.” (Your fight is over.) She said and cut one of his braids. She looked at me and walked over to me.

“A keller lives while a warrior dies? This is your way?” She asked.

“I’m sorry, Indra. But he can help us beat Mount Weather.” I said.

“Then let me make him talk.” She said.

“No. We’re not torturing him.” I said.

“Clarke’s right. He might just talk because we saved his life.” My mother said.

“You people are so weak. It’s a shock that Y/N is from your blood.” She said and walked off.

“Are you okay?” My mother asked coming next to me.

“He’s gonna need a transfusion with our blood.” I said to Jackson.

“I’ll type him as soon as we can take off that suit.” He said and I nodded ready to leave, but my mother stopped me.

“Someone tried to kill you today. It’s okay if you’re upset.” She said.

“Just another day on the ground.” I said and she looked at me shocked.

“I’ll be in Engineering waiting for Bellamy to radio. Let me know when he wakes up.” I said and walked off.

Bellamy’s POV

I kept trying to bust the cage door open, but nothing was happening. I could tell the Grounder girl next to me was growing more and more annoyed, but I had to get out to save everyone.

“They come!” The Grounder girl said scared and tried to make herself look small.

“Quiet!” She growled at me and I stopped. I moved to the back of the cage as two men walked up to us.

“Yep, this one’ll do.” He said unlocking the Grounder girl’s cage. She looked so scared and I knew I had to do something. I kicked the cage door which grabbed their attentions.

“We got us a live on.” The man in a guards uniform said and he stopped unlocking her cage. The other man stuck a rob in my cage and zapped me. They unlocked my cage and I made an attempt to fight them but the man zapped me again. He then injected me with something and that was the last thing I remember. The next thing I knew, I was waking up and hung upside down. A girl crouched down in front of me.

“Who are you?” She asked and I looked around confused.

“You’re from The Ark, aren’t you?” She asked.

“Yeah.” I answered kind of out of breath.

“Do you know Jasper?” She asked.

“Maya?” I asked realizing who she could be and she nodded.

“How about getting me down, Maya?” I asked. She nodded and started pulling wires off my body. I heard the door open and she stopped to look at who entered.

“Lovejoy. Hey.” She said.

“What are you doing here? You’re not cleared for this facility.” The man said, I recognized his voice, he was the one that came in earlier.

“I know. I’m sorry. I just wanted to see what was so special about him. But...he’s dead.” She said and I shut my eyes.

“So he is.” The guy said and a few moments later I felt myself being lowered. He started taking off the cuffs on my ankles.

“You’re a brave girl, coming in here-” He was cut off by me kicking him in the face. I quickly took the other cuff off and he pulled his gun on me.

“Don’t move! Don’t move!” He shouted at me.

“On your feet. On your feet!” He ordered me. Maya stabbed him in the neck and I grabbed for his gun, but he pulled the blade out and slashed my arm before I could get it. The two of us started fighting.

“Stop!” Maya shouted holding the gun at Lovejoy.

“No, don;t! They’ll hear.” I said and punched him in the gut. He kneed me in the stomach and then pulled me back so my chest was exposed. He raised the blade in his hand and was ready to stab me, but the Grounder girl in the cage grabbed his arm and stopped him. I got out of his grip and grabbed his neck squeezing. He was dead within a few minutes.

“Thank you.” I said to the Grounder girl and looked at Maya.

“Are you alright?” I asked her. She was clearly shaken so I walked over to her and gently touched her arm.

“Hey, are you okay?” I asked.

“I’m fine.” She said and I looked at the dead body.

“Help me get him undressed.” I said and walked over to him.

“We need to get rid of the body.” I added.

We got him undressed and I put on his uniform. Best way to blend in is look like the enemy right? Maya showed me the shute they use to get rid of the bodies when they’re done and we sent Lovejoy down it.

“You’ve done enough.” I told Maya.

“You should walk away.” I added.

“You don’t know where you’re going.” She said.

“So draw me a map.” I said.

“No.” She said shaking her head.

“I’m in.” She said holding out a gun and knife.

“Okay.” I said and checked how many bullets I had.

“I need to get to the radio so I can contact Clarke. We heard Jasper’s SOS-”

“I helped them set that up. I know where it is.” She said cutting me off.

“Bellamy...Your people are disappearing. Two so far. Monty and Harper. And Cage took a liking to one of your people too. Y/N.” She said and I looked at her.

“What do you mean took a liking to?” I asked.

“He keeps her locked in his room, doesn’t let her see her friends, and he drugs her to keep her weak.” She answered.

“Okay, well I wanna see the others. Now.” I said.

“The dorm’s on the way to the radio.” She said.

“Okay.” I said and started walking.

“Wait.” She stopped me. She pulled the Lovejoy nametag off the vest.

“Everyone here knows everyone.” She said.

“Put this on and roll up your sleeve.” She said handing me a hat. I did as she told me.

“Tracking chip?” I asked.

“It’ll trip alarms once we start moving. We have to take it out.” She said.

“Do it.” I said.

“How’d you know what my name was before I told you?” She asked slicing into my arm.

“Clarke.” I said unphased by the cutting.

“Clarke said Jasper couldn’t stop talking about someone named Maya. She smiled and took out the chip. I put the bandage she gave me over the cut.

“Put this in your cage.” She said handing me the chip. I did and the Grounder girl looked at me, begging me with her eyes to let me out.

“I’ll come back for you. I promise.” I said.

“Take me to my friends.” I said turning back to Maya.

Y/N’S POV

We followed President Wallace down to an old creepy lab. If I had my strength I wouldn’t be so terrified. Jasper kept me close by just to be safe. As we entered the lab we heard a drill and some screaming.

“Mr. President.” Dr. Tsing said shocked.

“Put that down. Get away from that girl.” He ordered her.

“Jasper! Y/N!” Monty called from the cage he was in.

“Monty!” Jasper said and rushed over to him.

“Release him.” The President ordered and the other doctor in the room did. Jasper helped Monty out of the cage and they hugged. I walked over to them and gave Monty a hug as well.

“The ground is our birthright. You can’t keep us from that.” Dr. Tsing said.

“Watch me. Lock her up.” The President ordered. A guard helped Harper up and another grabbed the doctor.

“Go back to the dorm and tell your friends to pack their things. You’re going home.” He said.

“Thank you.” Jasper said.

“Take me to my son.” President Wallace said.

“Yes sir.” A guard said.

“Are you alright?” Jasper asked Monty and he nodded. I bit my lip.

“I should probably go back to Cage’s room, if he finds out I’m not in there he’ll-”

“No, you’re coming with us.” Jasper said and Monty nodded.

“You can’t go back to him Y/N.” Monty said and I sighed. Jasper grabbed me a dragged me with them.

Bellamy’s POV

I followed Maya down a bunch of halls memorising them for future use. We were making our way to the dorms. I needed to confirm everyone was alright before contacting Clarke.

“There are 382 people inside this mountain. If any of them realize you’re not one of us, you’re dead.” She said pulling out a keycard for the elevator.

“We’re on level two. The dorm’s on five. There’s a camera in the upper right-hand corner. Keep your head down.” She informed me as the elevator opened. We walked in and I kept my head down just as she told me to do.

“Hold the elevator!” A man called out and stopped the doors from closing.

“Hey Maya.” He greeted her walking in.

“You know I missed you in my Expressionist class.” He said.

“Yeah, I… I had some work to do.” She said, I could tell she was nervous.

“Oh, I’ll get you the notes.” He whispered. I placed my hand on the gun and looked at her. She looked at me and shook her head. The elevator stopped and two more people walked in. The elevator stopped again and Maya nodded at me that we needed to leave.

“Hey, you’re bleeding. Are you okay?” The man asked me as I was leaving.

“You’re exposed. We need to retrace your steps and find the breach.” Maya said thinking quick on her feet.

“You better go.” She said and the man started leaving.

“What about you?” He asked.

“This is my job, I’ll be fine.” She said keeping my back to him. Once it was safe, we left the elevator and made our way down the halls. Maya stopped me from turning a corner, I could hear kids.

“Come on.” She said after a minute or two. We started walking again and a sign that said pre-school.

“Mister?” A little boy said and tugged on my hand. I turned and saw him staring up at me.

“Are you on a ground unit?” He asked and he looked excited about it.

“My dad’s training for a ground unit.” He added.

“It’s pretty cool up there. I hope he makes it.” I answered. He smiled and walked off, that when I noticed the name on his backpack. Lovejoy. I killed his father… I took a deep breath trying to stop a tear from falling down my face.

“They’re just kids.” I whispered.

“What’d you expect you’d find here?” Maya asked. I looked at her and then she walked off. I followed behind her.

Y/N’S POV

We made it back to the dorm and Monty and Harper got dressed. Jasper gathered everyone up while Monty kept me close to him. I could tell everyone was worried.

“Alright. Listen up. There’s gonna be questions but there’s no time.” Jasper started.

“We’re getting out of here. So pack your stuff.” He said.

“What are you talking about?” A girl asked.

“They’re letting us go?” Miller asked.

“Yes. Right now, before they change their minds.” He answered.

“Jasper, what the hell’s going on?” The girl asked.

“They lied to us the while time about everything.” Monty said.

“The Ark is on the ground and we’re not safe here. Now do what he says.” He added.

“Now!” Jasper shouted. The two boys grabbed me and pulled me away.

“Is there anything you need to get from Cage’s room?” They asked and I nodded.

“I can get them quickly.” I said and they looked at each other.

“Okay, but hurry.” Jasper said and I rush to go get my things.

Bellamy’s POV

We were finally close to the dorms and I just kept my head down until we got there. Once we did I looked in and saw all my friends inside.

“There they are.” Maya whispered. A second after she did we heard an alarm go off. I looked over and saw the doors close and Jasper’s face appear at the window.

“What’s going on?” I asked Maya.

“I don’t know. It’s not a breach, but it can’t be good.” She said and we looked back at the dorm.

“Get me to that radio.” I said. She nodded and then we were off.

Clarke’s POV

They already started bleeding my friends. Hell my sister too! Y/N could be dead and it doesn’t seem like my mother cares all the much at all. I walked to engineering to tell Raven the bad news.

“We’re too late.” I said walking into the room.

“They’re already bleeding them.” I said and Raven looked at me shocked.

“It’s over.” I said.

“No.” Raven said.

“You don’t get to give up, Clarke. You killed Finn, and I didn’t give up.I’m building a damn tone generator, do your job.” She said with a raised voice.

“What is my job?” I said with the same tone.

“I don’t know. To come up with something.” She said.

“I have tried.” I said.

“Camp Jaha, this is Mount Weather. Anyone read me?” Bellamy’s voice came through on the radio before Raven could say anything more.

“Holy Crap.” She said and I walked over in shock.

“Camp Jaha, this is Mount Weather. Anyone read me?” He said again.

“Bellamy?” I asked.

“Clarke?” He asked.

“Are you alright?” I asked.

“I’m fine. But that’s it for the good news.” He answered.

“We have to talk fast. Something has changed. Jasper, Monty, everyone is locked in the dorm.” He said.

“But they’re alive? All of them? My sister?” I asked.

“I think so. For now. I haven’t seen Y/N yet. Apparently this Cage guy keeps her locked in his room.” He said and I sighed.

“Maya says they’re already using their blood. Things are gonna get ugly in here real fast.” He said.

“Maya’s with you?” I asked.

“She helped me escape. If not for her, I’d be dead.” He paused.

“And Clarke, there are kids in here. We need a plan that doesn’t kill everyone.Please tell me we have one.” He said.

“I hear you. But we can’t do anything until you disable the acid fog. Raven’s gonna help you.” I said.

“Got it. What else?” He asked.

“You have to figure out a way to free the Grounder prisoners. There’s a whole army inside that mountain and they don’t even realize it.” I said.

“Trojan horse. Good plan.” He said.

“What does Maya think? Is it doable?” I asked.

“She says it’s not a problem.” He said and I chuckled a bit.

“Clarke, if I’m gonna pull this off, I need you to buy me some time. It won’t be long before they realize I don’t belong here. And if that happens-”

“That can’t happen. I’ll come up with something.” I said cutting him off.

“Come up with it quick.” He said.

“Copy that. And Bellamy?” I asked.

“Yeah?” He answered.

“You came through. I knew you would.” I said.

“All I’ve done so far is not get killed.” He said.

“Keep doing that. You’re up.” I said and handed Raven the radio.

“What are you gonna do?” She asked me before I could leave.

“Keep on looking outside instead of in.” I said. I went to get Octavia and the Grounders that were with us when we came here. We all walked to where we were keeping Emerson. The guard that was standing in front of the airlock tried to stop us.

“Don’t.” I said to him and he moved to the side.

“Get dressed. You;re coming with me.” I said and he did. The grounders grabbed him and we took him outside.

“Clarke, what are you doing?” Kane asked but I ignored him.

“Clarke, stop.” My mother said and stood in front of us.

“No. I’m letting the prisoner go.” I said.

“Absolutely not.” My mother said.

“He hasn’t told us anything yet.” Kane said.

“He doesn’t have to. He’s gonna tell them something.” I said.

“Get the prisoner back to the airlock. Now.” My mother said.

“Yes, Ma’am.” One of the guards said and a few tried to get to him. The Grounders moved to protect him.

“You may be the Chancellor, but I’m in charge. And I’m getting my sister back.” I said and my mother looked at me shocked.

“Indra, tell your people to stand down before this gets out of hand.“ She said.

“No.” Indra said and there was a bit of a pause.

“People could get hurt.” My mother said.

“Not if you get out of my way. You need to trust that I know what’s right for us.” I said.

“The Grounders trust Clarke. Maybe we should too.” Kane said stepping in.

“Stand down.” My mother ordered and the guards did. We continued walking to the gate.

“Open the gate. Now!” I ordered and they did. The Grounders brought him outside and in front of me.

“Can you hear me alright? Because I need to make sure you get this.” I said.

“Loud and clear.” Emerson said.

“I have a message for your leader. We’re coming for him. You’re watching us, but you haven’t seen a thing. The Grounder army is bigger than you think. And even if you could find it, your acid fog can’t hurt them. And now thanks to you…” I said and pulled out the Tone generator.

“Neither can the Reapers. So you have one last chance. Let our people go, and we’ll let you live. It’s just that simple.” I said with a slight smirk.

“I got it.” He said and I grabbed his pressure regulator to see how much he had left.

“It’s an 8 hour walk back to Mount Weather?” I asked looking at him then opened the valve to let some air out.

“You’re gonna do it in six.” I said.

“Six hours? That’s not enough. How am I supposed to deliver your message?” He asked.

“That’s your problem. Now go.” I said and he started running.

“Clarke. You wanna explain to me how this helps my brother?” Octavia asked.

“I just told them we have a secret army to worry about. The more they’re looking at us, the less they’re looking at him. Bellamy is the key to everything, Octavia. If he dies, we die.” I said and she nodded. I walked away and the Grounders followed me. This better work or we’re screwed.

Tumblr meme: top 10* songs I can't stop listening to

Tagged by the delightful @bumble-b-goode. Most of the songs I listen to repeatedly I listen to in order to sing them, really really loud, as a kind of cathartic self-therapy. Or they're to feel. These change all the time. For this, I'm listing stuff from the last few months, in no particular order, and I'm just gonna list stuff till I get bored, because it's fun to listen to stuff. All of these should be listened to as loud as possible. Listen to them on Apple Music if you can for the best quality, but these are youtube links for ease of listening.

Here's a YouTube playlist.

Mountain Man - Holy Father (best rounds outside of bach. simple enough you can even add your own harmonies.)

Bon Iver - 715 - Creeks (bon iver is... troublesome, sometimes, but this new instrument played this way stirs my soul.)

Beirut - Scenic World

Fuck Buttons - Sweet Love for Planet Earth (saw them live open for deerhoof like a billion years ago, not knowing who they were. they stole the show. second loudest performance i've ever seen.)

The Album Leaf - Story Board

The Appleseed Cast - Hello Dearest Love (The Appleseed Cast and The Album Leaf are bands I deeply love, and of which literally no one I know outside of the person who introduced me to them knows about. They're still around.)

Angelite & Moscow Art Trio & Huun-Huur-Tu - Sunrise (this entire collab is fucking... "incredible" isn't right. it part of some deeply universal shit, something elevated above, and it's part of a tradition that's just apart from most stuff most people in the west listen to. Of all the songs on this list this is the one I most want you to listen to.)

Dan Deacon - Red F (Went to a Dan Deacon show once where he played opposite some famous band, which I forget, because he set up in the middle of the audience, played a song after they did, and eventually stole the show and turned the whole venue into a dance party where we paraded outside of the venue, around the side, back through the front door, all dancing and holding hands with strangers. It was better than any church I've been to.)

Firebrand Boy - Famous (I love Firebrand Boy. It's so gentle.)

The Flashbulb - Eight Empty Beds (Aphex Twin-level solo piano work.)

Jeff Buckley - Be Your Husband (the live version. If this doesn't stir something in your soul to move and stomp or clap you should probably go talk to someone.)

The Tallest Man On Earth - Kids on the Run

Trash80 - At Teh Disko (This is weird, but 8bit music is visceral for me. I started self-discovering music with MP3.com in 1998, right with the rising tide of cheap software for making electronic music, so this kind of thing, with 303 Infinity and The Cynic Project, rock my world in a way I suppose a lot of younger people might see as simple or basic.)

AGST - Synergy (This came up in an apple music playlist and blew my mind. The resolution from the fuzzy grainy sound to the clarity of the chorus is a drug.)

Henryk Górecki - Amen for chorus, Op. 35 (Górecki is a pioneer of "holy minimalism," a midcentury movement in classical music that sought to return to the ideal of music that could be produced by simple instruments and small churches, with simple structures, but that created powerful holy connections. This song is the distillation of that movement.)

Henryk Górecki (The King's Singers) - Totus tuus (This shit is bananas.)

Heinrich Schütz (Choir of Trinity College) - Selig sind die Toten, SWV 391 (choral music is one of the few universally good creations of humankind.)

Diet Cig - Harvard (I love these two.)

Francis and the Lights - See Her Out (Francis is doing good.)

Frightened Rabbit - Death Dream (TW CW: Suicide. This is a seriously powerful song about someone finding a suicide victim, written and performed by someone who later committed suicide. I have a deeply personal relationship with this song.)

Japandroids - Continuous Thunder (Anthem rock done right, with just two people. I think I find rock music made with two people somehow more compelling than three.)

Julien Baker - Rejoice (Julien Baker makes stuff I feel really close to. Consistently. This song is one you can just... holler right till your voice cracks, then keep going.)

Lord Huron - Meet Me In The Woods (This is Night In The Woods in musical form. It's perfect.)

Novo Amor & Ed Tullett - Amateur Blood (Gentler than Bon Iver, and prettier.)

pronoun - snowed in // there's no one new around you

Gregorio Allegri - Miserere (This is the most reliable song to lower my blood pressure and calm me down.)

William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops (These are hours-long single songs made by editing tape. They're very much drone, and perfect to work to. They're too long for YT tho.)

The entire album "Selected Chants of the Russian Orthodox Church" by the Monks Choir of Kiev Pechersk Monastery. (Herzog used them for the soundtrack to Into the Inferno.)

I'm leaving off a lot of turn of the millennium pop punk/emo because it's good but it doesn't swing my soul about the way it used to, because I think that had a lot more to do with my soul at the time, and its local climate, than with the music itself.

Don’t feel obligated, but for funsies, I tag @spseyler @worksofgenius @everybody-walk-the-dinosaur @mondriankite @insertsexualnamehere @benegesserit @surreal @p0ttedplant.
