How’s the Medi au fic going? I’m almost disappointed that Lexa’s snakes won’t be slytherin to Clarke’s chamber of secrets

Why did you have to ruin it with that last part I fuckin hate it here

Anyway😒

Quite well 😌

Considering at the beginning of July I barely had 10k and have tripled that in a month. That is what happens when I focus on one project at a time. Amazing. A novelty. Who would've ever guessed.

Tagged by: @bottom-lexa @dysco-lymonade

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

Slytherin Chronicles #6:

“You know, it’s beautiful outside, you don’t have to spend your days cocooned in here.”

Lexa doesn’t tear her eyes from the book opened in front of her, “Anya, I’m studying.”

Does Your Mother Know That You're Out?:

“You’re doing great progress on those weights, honestly! If I didn’t know you just started lifting a couple of months ago, I’d think you’d have been at it for years!”

Melting Inside Loving Fires:

“Mom! Did you find them?”

Buried in the middle of her once nicely folded laundry, Lexa sighs once the yell reaches her from the next room over. She throws another basket on top of her bed, cringing at the thought of having to fold it all again later but when she stares at her side table alarm and sees the clock ticking, warning her of seven-forty rapidly approaching, she cannot be bothered to be careful with it anymore.

Lazy Kiss: Bed on a saturday late morning is what Clarke would classify as heaven on earth. The freshly washed cotton sheets, the laziness of the warm midday sun entering through the curtains, the smell of lavender on her pillow that can be traced to the naked body draped over her sleeping arm, light snores her wife insists she is incapable of producing. Heaven. Home.

Amor Mortis: Darkness engulfs her. It seems to pay no mind to the open window lining the whole of her wall of her bedroom, ignoring so completely the drawn curtains where moonlight should pass through and illuminate her entire being, instead making itself scarce.

To Birth a Queendom: Destiny is a complex thing. There is much intricacy to it; it is not linear nor is it permanent. It can be changed, molded, severed without mercy, abruptly replaced with another and one must simply adapt when it does, quickly, must it not leave one without destiny at all.

The Act of Falling in Love: They are betrothed to one another at age fifteen. Neither laments it.

Morning Workout:

“Enjoying the show?”

She is. Undeniably so.

Pumpkin Spice Craving: It’s late at night. Or early in the morning if Lexa felt like pretending she’s awake early instead of late. It’s dreadfully cold outside, autumn settling in harsher this year, windy grey mornings with rainy and freezing afternoons that extend through the night, the work around their tiny farm rushed in the early hours of the day so they can enjoy a cozy afternoon inside by the fire. Lexa enjoys it, a step up from the scalding hot summer that had just passed and that left her uncomfortable and sweaty every second of the day.

Strike at Witching Hour: There’s something here. Something evil.

BIOGRAPHY

Galexia Cordelia Malfoy (b. June 5th, 1980) is the only daughter of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy (née Black) and the only sister of Draco Malfoy, she came as a shock but they were happy to be blessed with two instead of one. She is a pure-blood wizard and she is the daughter of a Death Eater, Galexia was raised to strongly believe in the importance of blood purity. She attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1991-1998 and was sorted into Slytherin, however she was almost sorted into Gryffindor. During her years at Hogwarts, she became friends with Daphne Greenegrass, Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, and a few other fellow Slytherins.

Unlike Draco, Galexia wasn’t rivals with Harry Potter but she wasn’t a fan of him judging her brother before he got to know him. Especially when Weasley had the insults coming his way for laughing at her twin’s name, honestly she practically didn’t care for anyone making fun of her brother. Also unlike Draco, she didn’t bully kids that often. The only person she would be horrible to was the two younger Weasley’s, especially Ronald but only due to the fact she didn’t like him much for many reasons. Other than that she tried to avoid confrontation as much as possible, it was safe to say that she was the sweetest out of the Malfoy twins but she could still be a bitch when someone crossed her.

Normally she wouldn’t resort to violence when she had magic, however during her third year when she heard that Hermione hit Draco, she was livid. She tracked Granger down before it was time to leave for home at the end of the school year so that way she wouldn’t cost her house any points and hit her as hard as she could throw in the face, her words fell like venom that day when she threatened the mudblood that the next time she laid a hand on Draco and called him names that were complete lies that she’d make her regret even having magic and that wasn’t a threat, it was a promise. Normally she didn’t mind the know-it-all but after that, she wasn’t a fan of the Gryffindor anymore. Yes she understood that her twin could be quite a brat at times but it didn’t give her the right to hit him, or call him things that weren’t true - especially when she didn’t know him on a personal level. She definitely hated when people assumed and when people judged someone without getting to know them first, she developed hatred the first year after what Potter did towards her twin and it didn’t help that it happened to him on more than one occasion because people assumed both of the Malfoy twins were brats.

During her fourth year, she developed quite a crush on Cedric Diggory. It was actually at the professional Quidditch game that the twins' father took them to when she started finding Cedric attractive, while Draco was bragging to Potter about their seats she was busy checking Cedric out. So during her fourth year, she spent her time trying to catch Cedric’s attention. However when she learnt that he was taken by Cho, her heart broke and spent a whole day crying to Draco. She could recall Draco wanting to break Cedric for it but she begged him not to, instead he just asked Krum to make sure to give Diggory an extra hard time in the goblet of fire tournament. It made her huff but she let it go, especially since she knew how protective Draco was of her and the fact he wasn’t gonna harm him was a win in her book. She would have gone with Draco to the dance but he already was going with Pansy, so she ended up going with Blaise Zabini. The dance was exceptionally fun, she had a great time and it made her forget about her broken heart for a bit. But Draco gave her the best present that night when he got Cedric to dance with her, though she assumed it was because Pansy locked Cho in a stall for a bit. Normally she would have been annoyed with that tactic but she didn’t care, she was just grateful for her friends at that moment. Even if she couldn’t date Cedric, she decided she could at least be friends with him. Her heart was broken all over again when Potter returned with Cedric’s dead body, now she would really never get a chance to be with him. That summer her twin spent his time helping her heal from her broken heart, she was forever thrilled that she was blessed with a brother like him.

Despite being a member of the Inquisitorial Squad during her fifth year, she was miserable with Umbridge being in charge. In fact she only joined the squad because of Draco, plus she was nervous to be on the wrong side of Umbridge especially since she wasn’t a nice lady. She rather had Remus Lupin back as the professor of Defense against the Dark Arts, she didn’t care if he was a werewolf since he didn’t really harm anyone and did everything he could to be careful during a full moon. And if they couldn’t have Remus, then she’d prefer if Snape could finally have the job since he wanted it more than Potions. She had fucked up time to time on the rules but her twin bailed her out and blamed it on someone else, she felt bad but she didn’t do anything to stop it from happening and went along with it. Once the school year was over she’d thought things would get better but at the end of the year, her father was imprisoned in Azkaban following the Battle of the Department of Mysteries.

Right before Lexa’s sixth year started, Lord Voldemort charged the twins with making up for Lucius's failure, in which they became a Death Eater at age sixteen, but Draco was tasked to kill Dumbledore and if he shall fail then the dark lord would kill them and their parents. She however was given to Fenrir Greyback as a gift to join his side, it was horrible and it wasn’t long before they were disillusioned with the lifestyle. Besides she never wanted it in the first place because it was cruel and vile, it was something she’d never admit out loud in fear of her own life. Despite her punishment, she spent most of her nights trying to comfort Draco. Promising him that he didn’t have to do this alone, that she’d help him along the way.

Once the school year began, the twins spent more of their time with each other than their other friends. Galexia was honestly worried about Draco, especially when he’d claimed he’d rather pitch himself off the Astronomy Tower. Honestly not that he could blame him because the thought of belonging to Greyback was sickening, but still she didn’t want to lose her best friend. As the school year went by the more the twins started to become paler, they were acting quite differently but it was for two different reasons. Though seeing her twin like this was killing, she wished nothing more that she could take his assignment. Honestly she’d deal with both punishments, just so Draco could be happy.

When she found out that the chosen one nearly killed her twin, she had never been more scared in her life but when she found out Saint Potter wasn’t punished, she was livid to the point she wanted blood. It didn’t take the Slytherin long to find the Gryffindor and once she did, she sorted to violence once again as she hit Potter right where it counted. Once he was down on his knees, she pulled out her wand and pressed it to his throat. She let her words fall like venom once more as she screamed and cursed at him for almost taking her brother from her, she made the same promise to him as she did to Hermione but this time she twisted it to say you’ll wish you’d be dead like your parents. After she was done yelling at him, she simply kissed him as hard as she could before pushing him to the ground and walking away. She just had her first true kiss and there was no way she could tell anyone about it, especially since it was with her brother’s rival and her family enemy.

Galexia was petrified when Draco was unable to complete his task of murdering Albus Dumbledore, not that she could blame him because neither of the twins were truly capable of murder. Hell she even tried to attempt doing it for him and she couldn’t bring herself to do it, which meant they’d failed and they were going to die, she didn’t want to die but maybe it's for the best. Though in the end it was taken over by Severus Snape, she didn’t know if they’d be punished for sorta failing or not but she wasn’t looking forward to returning home that year for many reasons.

After that the twins only performed any other duties fearfully and reluctantly, they did whatever they had to do in order to survive. Galexia couldn’t help but to wish for death when Greyback kept teasing her about putting pups in her and taking her away from her family with the dark lord won, at first she’d retort back with what makes you so sure that once he wins that he’d have any use for a beast like you. That remark only ended up with her in pain, she ended up crying through the night whenever she had to see the wolf. When Potter, Granger, and Weasley were caught, Draco and Galexia both refused to identify Potter when they were asked to. When her aunt carved the word Mudblood into Granger’s arm, Lexa almost threw up because she couldn’t handle the sight. When Potter and his friends managed to escape, she was thrilled about it but the dark lord was pissed. Greyback was yelled at by both Bellatrix and Voldemort, after that he took his anger out on both of the twins. They were terrified beyond words and their parents couldn’t do anything to stop it, it was a couple of days before they had gotten rid of him. She definitely was praying that Potter won this war, especially if it meant she didn’t have to deal with Fenrir anymore.

Draco swore that he’d never let the big bad wolf take her away, even if it killed him in the end. He rather not listen or see either his mother or her cry ever again, and both twins knew that if she ended up being taken away from them by Greyback, they’d probably never see her again. She was just glad she wasn’t disowned from her family for this punishment, she would have pitched herself off the Astronomy Tower if that was the case. When it the Second Wizarding War was among them, Galexia wanted to stay and fight with Potter to help better the chances of her not ending up with Greyback forever, she even ignored her father when he called for her, however when her mother called for her, she went because she couldn’t and wouldn’t do anything to upset her. So in the end, the twins and their parents defected hours before the end of the Second Wizarding War, fearing for their lives.

The events of Galexia's teenage years forever changed her life. She had the beliefs in which she had grown up with challenges in the most frightening way, had experienced terror and despair, witnessed her parents suffering for their allegiance, witnessed her twin suffer, and had witnessed the crumbling of all that her family had believed in. Galexia and her family avoided imprisonment in Azkaban due to their last-minute switch in allegiance. Her parents found both twins as affectionate as ever, but refusing to follow the old pure-blood line.

Harry Potter Crossover Ideas

Acacia being there for my Pettigrew Junior OCs (who I’m tentatively naming Alexandra ‘Lexa’ and Joshua 'Josh’); looking out for them while they’re at school. I think Josh would get on better with her, because he’s the more timid of the two and has always found it easier dealing with adults than kids, he also loves researching - he’s a proud Hufflepuff though, loyalty is a big thing for him. Lexa has some issues, she’s a little feisty and some of it is because she wants to protect her brother; she still gets on with Acacia because of her relationship with Remus, but there’s slightly less of a connection there. She’s never been one for sitting still and reading or that.

My unnamed Remus OC (though, I’m currently toying with the name Rosemarie 'Rosie’ for her) would totally adopt Aries and remind Remus that they’re there to look after their friends’s kids because she needs them. She’s remind Aries she can always write, that they’re her family too if she wants them to be. Rosie is very much the kind of person who wants to look after everyone, but also constantly tries to make sure they know it’s their call.

I feel like Esme would get along well with one of my resistance OCs (I think her name began with an E… I might rename her Esmeralda, with her family calling her Alda for short); she constantly gets herself into trouble - alongside Neville in their final year - and Esme would probably be looking out for them a lot. She’d be trying to remind them that dying isn’t really going to help matters, but they always know they can rely on each other.

I think Hope would be a lot of fun with the Steel Trio, she’d totally be a big sister to them even if she’s not actually in their house. Like, she’d totally ask questions to Iris about astronomy - even if it makes no sense - just because of the way it makes her friend’s face light up. And don’t get me started on how protective she’d be if Umbridge decided to be a pain towards Iris for any reason during their final year. I’m not going to talk about the angst that Hope would have finding out about Kieran being forced to join the Death Eaters, because that girl might be small but she would be ready to fight them for doing that to her smiling friend - especially after everything with Cedric. Hope being shorter than Valeria would be something I think they both find kind of hilarious; I feel like it’d take them the longest to bond, they’d be those friends that will take the mick out each other, but fight anyone who dares to try it themselves.

I think Leah would be interesting to see with Potter twin (Daphne) because while Harry has the Weasleys, she needs someone in her house to keep an eye on her too. I also think she’d look up to Leah as a big sister - even before they’re friends she’d be something of a role model for her. I also think someone a little more removed from Harry would help Daphne with coping when things get bad - like with the Heir of Slytherin stuff and that.

Roberta and Persephone would be awesome Hufflepuff friends who were loyal to a fault and always looking out for each other. They’d have each other’s backs no matter what, and probably get told off for talking too late into the night in the common room - especially when big things are happening in their lives.

Hi there :-) What's your favourite of your own fics? What would you recommend to a reader and why?

Hello dear Anon! Sorry for the delay in answering.

To pick a favorite would be impossible, I love so many of my stories so much, which is why I've been writing the majority of them so many years. So I'm going to gush about my favorites, and why you should check them all out, haha.

To recommend to a reader, it would depend on what you enjoy.

I'm always pushing people to read Stardust. It's got so many good issues tied up in it, I feel like it could benefit people to read such a storyline, but, I know some people are not into the idea of transgender storylines, which, Stardust features pretty heavily. (In the same vein, there's also Screw Stardust, which is the same base storyline, only I've flipped who is trans, which is a WIP, but, I also love it so much)

If you want more canonverse Clexa, I just finished Depths of Love (which I assume is how you've found me, haha). It's unlike any of my other AUs, and has such an amazing idea. Like, I can not get over the storyline, and honestly, would love to see how one of the other talented writers in the fandom would write the same idea. I can not get over the fact it hasn't been done before, and a very special thanks to @sassymajesty for giving me the inspiration to finish it (three years later, but, oh well).

Then I'd say if you want soft and a lot of fluff, check out Softball. It's nowhere close to done, and I don't know if it will ever be, but it's such a soft idea of high school kids growing up and dealing with challenges and Clexa realizing their feelings for each other. It's honestly my most detailed fic, I have like, five pages worth of outlining for it, and a chapter by chapter guide set up, but it's just finding the time and the motivation to write it.

Then, if you're in the mood for some smut, I'd recommend Create Stardust. It's not really a fic, just a future of Screw Stardust (An AU of Stardust, haha) and it does feature Transgender Clarke, which, again, isn't for everybody, but, I think it's just so soft and one of my most beautifully written pieces. And, it's pretty hot, if I do say so myself, haha.

And then, (last rec, I swear) I would say Not the End if you want some angst. Lots of angst, and lots to come. It's a WIP, and nowhere close to done. Starts off full of confusion and hardships, and then realizes the truth, and trying to make sense and understand it from both sides. I don't think enough people start it with an open mind, and are too quick to hate Clarke, but, yeah. It's so fun writing this storyline and seeing how these complex characters deal with their impossible situations. It's not my best writing, but I'm enjoying it.

Then, last but not least, ones that are my favorites, but I wouldn't recommend as a reader (but I'm more than willing to gush about). Keep Holdin' On - This is angst city. It's so sad and I wrote it about 20 different times whenever I just needed a good cry. Not a deep story, but damn, it tugs at the heartstrings, well, mine at least. Not a lady - Game of Thrones AU. It's very different and very fun to write, but I have no idea how to tie my idea's together. I want Clarke to be so much more than a whore, but I have no idea how to make that fit into the GOT universe without changing everything about it. I've got a few ideas, but, I wouldn't recommend waiting around for me to figure it out, haha. Traitors - Harry Potter AU. I LOVE this idea. Griffins vs Woods. Griffins known for, well, Griffindor, and Woods are known for Slytherin, and Clexa coming in and BOTH of them 'ruining' their family's reputation? Clarke, who's always thought of herself as better than, always seen Slytherin as evil, slowly coming to realize, when she's placed into Slytherin, that maybe, things aren't always black and white? Poor baby Lexa, who was already the outcast in her family, giving them even more reason, now a Griffindor. GAH, just talking about it makes me wanna write it, honestly. I need to sit down and make a plan for a story, more than just them being little gay beans (or do I? Honestly, do I?)

Thank you so much for the question! I apologize for the wall of text. I'm an over-explainer. Hope that kinda answers your question? Or if you have any questions about a certain fic of mine, please reach out! More than happy to gush about any/all versions of my Clexa's. From stupid one-shots like Comet Girl, to my babies in Softball!

From Enemies To Lovers

It was the start of yet another year. Another year full of spells, potion making, transfiguration, runes decryption and everything a six year should know. The last laid-back year, before needing to figure out what to do after school. The year between OWLS and NEWTS, the most feared examination. One would think that during this year everyone would enjoy the peace before the storm and this was true for everyone but two people: Clarke Griffin and Lexa Woods. They were both prefects and Quidditch captains, respectively of Griffindor and Slytherin. And they hated each other.

No one really knew what happened to spark the rivalry between the two. Most assumed it to be the brunette fault, but the truth was that not even their close friends were aware of what occurred.

It was the start of another year and they were already fighting.

“You think you are better than all of us don’t you Woods!? Well guess what!? You aren’t!”

“Are you saying you are better than me Griffin? Cause the OWLS’ results tell the opposite”

Clarke’s face took on a crimson shade after that comment. She was absolutely furious and the smirk on the other’s face wasn’t helping at all. She didn’t really care for those results, she got what she needed to then became a mediwitch and that’s all that mattered to her, but that girl. Oh that brunette girl always had to one up her just to make her feel inferior.

“Not everyone can buy the examiners at the Ministry, Woods. Some of us got their marks studying”

It was Lexa’s turn to be offended. How dare this insignificant girl suggest such a thing!? Her parents may be workers at the Ministry but they would never do anything like that. All that mistrust only because she was a Slytherin. Well the little lion wanted to get the family involved? Than she will get it.

“At least my parents have honorable jobs. What is it that yours do again? Oh right they are just muggles, not doing anything really important now do they? Especially that father of yours”

The blonde’s wand was out and under the brunette’s chin before she could even blink. They were so close that she could see the fresh pain in those blue eyes. She felt a little guilt for the words she used, but they were in front of the Great Hall, with all of Slytherin house listening and those were the first things that came to mind.

“Say anything else about my father, just try to mention him again and they will be your last words”

“20 points from Griffindor Ms Griffin. It’s only the first day and you already start with the threats to my house? Now put away that wand if you don’t want another detention”

Clarke didn’t spare a glance to professor Snape, she glared one last time at the other girl before following the others to the table. She didn’t feel much like eating after that encounter, not after being made aware of what she lost again.

“I know you don’t really feel like it but you have to eat Princess. You can’t starve yourself again”

The girl offered little resistance when Bellamy put a full plate in front of her. He was right, she already made her mother worry all summer with her refuse for food and she didn’t need her or her friends on her case again. But she wasn’t sure if she could stomach anything. She couldn’t eat anything after the incident. The incident that cost her the person she loved the most, her dad. It was the start of summer, he was coming home from work when a car run over him. He remained in a coma for a week before his heart stopped. Just like her world. And hearing that girl, that Slytherin, mention him like that, she just lost it.

As soon as she could, she left the table. She couldn’t remain there and fortunately its the third years that have to take the first year to the common room. She went to the opposite direction, choosing the peace of the lake at the confusion of the tower. It’s always been one of her favorite spots to just let her mind run and to draw when the inspiration hit. Another thing she stopped doing.

She remained there for hours before being joined by a tabby cat.

“I know professor. It’s after curfew, I should at least be in the common room”

“Yes you should Ms Griffin. But I understand why you would prefer staying out here. I won’t give you detention and I won’t take points this time. Next time don’t go out after curfew”

Clarke nodded, standing up to follow the professor back to the castle. Obviously the professor knew about the incident. Great, now she would get looks of pity all day long for who knows how many weeks. Exactly what she wanted and needed.

The walk to the tower was silent and for that she was grateful. She really didn’t want to hear about how sorry the professor was for her. She just couldn’t bare to hear it again. After what seemed like a lifetime, they found themselves in front of the Fat Lady and before letting the blonde inside, the professor reminded her that she knew where her office was. The girl smiled, a tired smile that didn’t reach her eyes, before bidding McGonagall goodnight and entering the common room.

It was the start of yet another year. But this time, it wasn’t filled with laugh and joy. At first it seemed like nothing was out of the norm, but after a couple of weeks, everyone started to see it. The first giveaway was Clarke withdrawal from Quidditch captain and from the team all together. No one realized until the auditions for each role. She was studying under a tree when her friends confronted her about it.

“Are you fucking serious Clarke!? Really!? You left the team!? Without telling us anything!? We had to hear it from McGonagall that you requested to not be captain anymore!”

The blonde looked up from her book to see Bellamy’s outraged face. Behind him were all of their close friends; Raven, Octavia, Monty, Jasper, Wells and Finn. She sighed, knowing she owned them at least an explanation of why.

“Yes I left the team. Yes I didn’t tell you. And yes I asked McGonagall to tell you in my stead. I didn’t ask you what you thought cause half of you would have told me not to, that I’m just too good to not play and I didn’t want any of you to change my mind about this. Yes, I should have told you after I talked with the professor, who agrees with me. I don’t really want to talk about my reasons for quitting, especially not here and not now. And before any of you try, no I’m not coming back on the field”

With that she packed up all of her stuff, not glancing back once before fleeing to the castle. Before dinner time, all of Hogwarts was privy to this strange fact. Especially a brunette Slytherin that just had to poke the little lion.

The Great All went silent when Lexa walked to Griffindor table, stopping in front of a certain blonde.

“Is it true Griffin? You left the team? What, too afraid of losing against us?”

The lion didn’t even look up from her plate, where the food went untouched since she sat down, something that the snake noticed.

“I prefer concentrating on other things this year Woods. Plus I had an incident this summer and I can’t play after that. Now if you will excuse me, I have an essay to finish”

The blonde stood up, nearly running for the exit, leaving everyone confused and shocked. The brunette looked a the other Griffindors to see if they knew anything but they all just shrugged, as if they didn’t know more than her.

Lexa was starting to worry. Yeah they were rivals but she didn’t hate the other girl and she was so out of character this year. The majority of her insults were only answers to the ones the Griffindor princess sent her way. She didn’t even believe in blood prejudice, she used it only to see the enraged face of the blonde. Seeing as Clarke wasn’t even reacting to her insults as usual she decided to cut on them a little and to observe more the other girl, hoping to understand what was wrong with her.

It was another month before the brunette found anything out. It was after curfew and she was doing her rounds when she heard someone trying to cry quietly. She went to investigate, reading herself to listen to some bad break up story, only to find her Griffindor rival with tear stained cheeks. The brunette’s jaw dropped in surprise and just as she was about to talk, the blonde looked up from the ground, locking eyes with Lexa.

“Just my luck. Well what are you waiting for? Go tell your friends that you found me crying so that you can all laugh together about me”

The Slytherin answered with a frown. “I would never do something like that. It’s true that I like arguing with you and that we are rivals but I never laughed at you. Plus if you are here crying it must be something serious and I would never use it against you”

Clarke continued to look at her mistrusting, especially when she sat down near her offering a handkerchief. After a bit of hesitation she took it with a quiet thank you.

“I know that you don’t trust me and I don’t really blame you considering our history, but if you wanna talk I could listen. I noticed that something is wrong this year with you and believe it or not, I’m concerned. Well I’m gonna go back to my common room now. If you ever want to talk, I always pass this spot at the end of my rounds. See you in class Griffin”

The Griffindor watched the other girl walk away, wondering why she was so nice all of a sudden. She looked down at her hands noting how the handkerchief had the other’s initials sew into the corner. Bringing it to her nose she found out that it smelled like pine, the same scent she sometimes got a sniff of when they found themselves face to face during a heated argument.

After that encounter Clarke decided to observe more closely the Slytherin. She started immediately the next day, sure that by breakfast everyone would know of her late night pity party. She was ready to face the Great All, sure of being laughed at as soon as she stepped inside, only to be met with the usual. No one looked at her, no one whispered and giggled at her, no one said anything about her. Her eyes landed immediately on the Slytherin table, locking with a pair of deep green that was watching her with worry. She nodded in thanks and to say that she was okay, seeing the relief swell in the emeralds for a brief second before they went back to their plate. She didn’t get it, not really. They were rivals and here Lexa was offering an ear and a shoulder to cry on.

From that day on she decided to pay more attention to the brunette. During class she noticed how the other girl would sometimes look in her direction, to make sure of what she didn’t know. At first, as she was still a bit hesitant of trusting her, she thought that maybe she wanted to one up her like always, but after a week or so she caught her looking even during meals, always with a veil of worry that she tried to hide.

It was nearly a month before she decided to talk to her. Clarke couldn’t bare another round of worry and pity from her friends. They knew that it wasn’t what she wanted or what she needed, still they never changed. So she waited in the chosen spot. She waited all evening and when she was about to leave, a surprised Lexa appeared.

“You came”

“Yeah… I may need that ear you offered. If it’s still on obviously”

The Slytherin watched the other girl shift from foot to foot in discomfort. She thought that the lion would never accept, still she went there every night hoping to catch a glimpse of blonde, telling herself that she always finished her rounds there and that she wasn’t waiting for the Griffindor.

“Yeah, it’s still on”

They sat next to each other like the first night and then Clarke started talking. She told Lexa of what happened during that summer. How her dad remained in a coma for a week. How her last words to him were an angry shout because of a fight. How she will never know if he heard her telling him how important he was to her, that she loved him, that he was her best friend. How much she regrets not spending more time with him. How she would do anything to see him one last time smiling at her. The snake listened closely, bringing the lion close when she started crying. They remained there for hours, one weeping silently and the other holding her, telling her that it will get better, that it may never be like before but it will be okay. When Clarke had no tears left to cry and the moon was high in the sky, they decided to call it a night.

“Thank you Woods. Really”

“Don’t worry about it. I told you, if you need someone to listen, someone who won’t immediately look at you with pity, I’m here to listen. I may not have the answers to everything, but your secrets are safe with me”

The two girls smiled at each other, debating how to say goodnight. Both of them didn’t want to go, didn’t want to be the first to take the first step. Eventually they decided to back away together.

After that night they started meeting in secret every other evening. During the day they still upheld the facade of rivals, even thought they never got too personal with their come back and lacking their usual bite. They seemed more a couple teasing each other than two rivals insulting each other. They went on like that until Christmas. That year Dumbledore decided to organize a Yule Ball for all the students. Both girls wanted to ask the other to the Ball, but they were afraid of rejection and of being made fun of from their friends.

“So the Yule Ball is in a week. You going with someone Lexa?”

After a couple of weeks of meeting they decided to be on first name basis. The Slytherin looked to her companion, seeing her sprawled looking at the ceiling without a care in the world, or so it seemed.

“No. I wanted to ask someone but I’m not brave enough. Maybe I will ask them to dance with me during the Ball. What about you? Someone special you haven’t been telling me about?”

“Nah. I’m just going with my friends”

Not long after Christmas day came and with it the nerves of getting ready, of being perfect, of being the most beautiful girl in the castle. Everyone wanted to one up the other, putting on make up, jewels and the most expensive clothes just to be noticed from their date and to be sure that all eyes would be on them.

Clarke debated with herself for at least half an hour before deciding to actually go with the others instead of staying in her room sulking. She really didn’t want to go only because she didn’t want to see Lexa dancing with whoever this special someone was. If only she really was as brave as her house.

Her friends went ahead of her, leaving her to walk there alone. When she arrived in the Great Hall a lot of people were already dancing while her friends were in a corner laughing and talking with each other. When they noticed her walk up to them they immediately involved her in the conversation.

“Look who finally decided to come join us mere mortals. I knew you wouldn’t resist coming to dance Princess”

“Well you know me Blake. Without me is it even a party?”

They all laughed together before some of them broke up in couples to go dance. Clarke remained with Murphy, Raven and Octavia, talking about the usual before the only man of the group asked the million dollar question.

“So Princess, you really didn’t ask her to come with you?”

Clarke’s face fell and she sighed before answering. “Yes Murphy. I was to chicken to ask her. Plus she would have said no. She told me there was someone she wanted to ask, but didn’t find the courage to”

The other three looked at her as if she was stupid. Did she really not see the way Lexa looked at her? The three friends looked at each other, communicating without words that they would help her get at least a dance. And maybe knock some sense into that stubborn head of hers.

In that exact moment a group of Slytherins entered and all eyes went to them. They were wearing the best dresses of the evening. Clarke’s eyes found immediately a certain brunette, leaving her breathless from how beautiful she was. She was wearing a long emerald dress with silver lining on the sleeves and silver heels stuck out from under the dress when she walked. She wore a snake pendant and matching hearings, a set she got for her birthday from the blonde.

Lexa’s eyes met blue, widening at the beauty that was the Griffidor. Purple sleeveless dress, blood red heels, killing make up, loose blonde hair and a black choker with a gold lion. They were both stunned into silence and all their friends rolled their eyes at their uselessness. They were so blind about what the other felt and still everyone else could see the love between the two! They were utterly hopeless.

They spent the majority of the night stealing glances at each other, trying to find the courage to ask the other to dance. It was nearing midnight when Raven decided to help them out. She went up to Lexa asking for a dance. Or well more like demanding it. The Slytherin, surprised as she was, could only mutter an half yes before being dragged to the dance floor. The Ravenclaw smirked seeing in the corner of her eye how Clarke was watching them like an hawk.

“So Woods, when do intend to ask Clarke out?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about Reyes”

“Yeah cause no one can see the heart eyes you throw at each other. Look we all know that you have a crush on her and the feelings are mutual so grow a pair and go ask her to dance for fucks sake!”

Lexa looked at her stunned. No one had ever talked to her like that, plus there was no possible way that the Griffindor had feelings for her. She was only Lexa.

“How can she possibly have feelings for me? She is so much more than me and could have everything she wanted”

‘These two’ “Yeah well, she wants you but she doesn’t think the feelings are mutual. Look at how jealous she is right now. She hasn’t stopped glaring at me since we started dancing”

The Slytherin looked above the other girl’s shoulder, seeing what she was talking about. Clarke was seething; she was holding a glass so hard that it could shatter in a moment. Was it possible? Could it really be true? Could she have a chance?

“Are you sure Reyes?”

“I’m her best friend and she won’t shut up about how much she likes you. Honestly I would like to talk about other things than only you Woods. Now go ask her to dance!”

The Ravenclaw pushed her in the blonde’s direction with a smirk and a wink. Lexa started walking towards Clarke, smiling a little when their eyes met. She stopped just in front of her, ready to ask her to dance, when she noticed that the attention of everyone was on them. They were probably expecting one of their usual quarrels.

“Griffin”

“Woods”

“Will you give me the honor of dancing with me?”

“I thought you would never ask Lexa”      

Clarke took Lexa’s hand, smiling wide at the other girl. They started dancing ignoring everyone else, looking in each other eyes.

“It was you. The person I wanted to ask to come with me. I thought you would have rejected me if I asked”

“Oh Lexa, how could I ever reject you? My feelings for you are more romantic than platonic. I’ve had a crush on you for some time now Lexa”

“Really? How? You could have anyone, why me?”

Lexa looked at her with lost eyes, not believing her ears. Clarke caressed her cheek with one hand, leaning in to give her a little kiss on the lips. Just a fleeting kiss.

“I want you Lexa. In these last months you opened up to me, you let me see the real you and I fell in love with that girl that offered a shoulder to cry on to her rival, when everyone else would have laughed at her. Yes, I could have anyone but I just want you”

Lexa’s eyes became full of tears, but she refused to let them fall. This girl, this Griffindor was the only one who ever said such things to her. No one had ever chosen her first. No one had ever wanted her like that.

“I’ve fallen in love with you too Clarke. I never thought you would feel the same. I never thought I had a chance with you. I thought you hated me for how I have always treated you”

“You give yourself too little credit Lexa. I never hated you. Not even when you would insult me during one of our fight. I could see it in your eyes that the majority of the things you said, you didn’t really mean. So stop talking and kiss me already. I want our first kiss as girlfriends if you don’t mind”    

“As you wish Princess”

Lexa leaned in with a wide smile. Girlfriends. Who would have thought? They couldn’t stop smiling into the kiss, making it more difficult to actually kiss. And still it was perfect, it was totally them. Two lost souls finally together. Two lost souls finally smiling. Two hearts that went from hating to loving. Two hearts finally at peace.

Was Slytherin Chronicles your first clexa fic?

Nope! My very first clexa fic was Beyond Any Star, about Lexa and Clarke adopting a 6 year old Raven ☺️ i posted it in 2016!

[cameloop]

What I believe makes the Ravenclaw house so interresting is that there is no such thing as a good or bad Ravenclaw.

Hufflepuffs are supposed to be good.

Slytherins are supposed to be bad.

Gryffindors always do what they believe is good.

While everything in Harry Potter tends to be black and white, you have the Ravenclaws, who are smart enough to simply make decisions that don’t fit into this bad and good spectrum.
