Clarke Griffin, a young, kind-hearted and hard-working mother of two teenagers, couldn't be happier with her life. She loves her family, her job, her apartment- it's just romantic relationships that don't work for her, now that she has children, but that's fine with her. Lexa Woods has travelled the world, tried out different jobs, and is fairly happy with tutoring and living with her best friend now. She still struggles to open up entirely to people, but she's learning to. When Clarke hires Lexa as a tutor for her twins, she merely hopes that her children's academic performance improves. She doesn't even think as far as that the woman could become more than that, let alone become the person who proves her outdated views on being a single mom wrong. At the time Lexa drives to the Griffin's apartment for the first time, she doesn't think that a smile could be as warm as to burn through the chains left around her heart either. Sometimes even adults are wrong, though. // 9# clexa 28.05.23

The day that Lexa met Clarke, she found out about her two rules. The first, was to never fall in love. The second, was to never let anyone fall in love with her. But as it turns out, rules are broken everyday and they both end up falling head over heels in love with each other. The reason Clarke had those rules is a secret, until one day she can't hide it anymore, and after some very big events, decides to leave Lexa. She thinks it's what is best for Lexa, so she leaves without so much as a word of where she is going. Lexa searches for Clarke for three years. She is a writer and decides to tell their story, in hopes that Clarke will read it and come back to her, or at least let her know she is ok. What happens when they come face to face again, and will hearing their story told from Lexa's side help Clarke realize they can be together and happy. Can Lexa convince Clarke that she wants to be with her no matter what, and that together they can make it work?

Fixing Clexa's story to give them an ending they deserved (an *ending, not the journey they deserved). They are clearly endgame but it turned into a bit more of an adult-themed journey to get there so just a warning it takes a slightly dark turn around ch. 20-23 (3-4 chapters have mild TW/CW but I do summaries at the bottom if needed).... **DUAL POV** chapters start short (2500-3500 words avg) but eventually get way longer lol (6,000-8,000words avg) This jumps in at episode 3x7 after Lexa announces the Blockade on Arkadia (yes I intentionally start off describing the scene almost as-is from the show before branching off...was just easiest to dive in that way) **MAIN STORY ARC is essentially complete, but there's 10-12ch still to come to bridge into sequel.... I've decided to break it up into two books, this first one will be close to about 60ish chapters (the rest of my plot just makes more sense as a separate story). Only loose story arcs from seasons 4-5 I will for sure hold to is Primfaya/bunker (this will be the primary start of the sequel). **NO CITY OF LIGHT** bc I hated it haha consider its nixed from this universe. Main Focuses of the Story: -Lexa's struggles w/ love vs duty, her past trauma & learning let herself be loved & taken care of. -Seamechanic :) -Lexa/Luna sister dynamic **SEQUEL:** --Octavia's decent into Bloodreina era/bunker; its affect on Linctavia -Lexa & Madi -Lexa & Blodreina -Fallout of everyone's choices/changes during the years after Praimfaya Photocred: I do not own any of the images I use, most are just pulled from the internet & any fan art/edits I will do my best to give proper credit when I know where they came from. MOST of my chapter photos are from an INCREDIBLY talented acct I found on IG I just love his aesthetic & wanted to keep some consistency in aesthetic throughout the story. GO CHECK HIM OUT! --IG: @imitylus

There isn't much that's worse than no experience when you want to impress someone. Lexa is itching to get Costia's attention and liking and because of her lack of experience in sleeping with people, she asks her best friend and roommate Clarke to help her out. It's just a favor. Just one time for educational purposes. Just one night that starts a little awkwardly and ends in the struggle of ignoring you fucked the person you live with and that matters to you the most. Of ignoring it might've just been the best night of your life. But the promise stays. One time and never again. Right?

The Grounders cannot make sense of Clarke Griffin, the woman that falls out of the sky (unbeknowst to them, as a lone test subject for radiation) and so they call her a Goddess. A Goddess spreading fear and evil and death in the forest around Polis, and thus, a Goddess that Lexa, as the Heda, is bound to despise. When her people follow up, an army of Gods stands against Lexa and although she goes to war against them, a third enemy soon appears that forces Lexa to form an alliance. That is shameful enough, but if only there wasn't Clarke, Skaikru's leader and thus the woman Lexa has to share a tent with, share a bed with, share parts of her life with that she wants no one to see. Clarke couldn't be a worse, more powerful enemy. She makes Lexa feel a chaos of things that are way beyond any hatred she has ever felt before (Is it hatred, though? Where does that stop, and where does another, much scarier feeling begin?) ____ updated regularly, at least one time a week :)
