"I could always feel the sun on my face. I saw trees all around me, the scent against wildflowers into a breeze. He was always so beautiful. In that moment, I'm not stranded in space. He's been 97 years since a nuclear apocalypse killed everyone into earth, leaving the planet simmering in radiation. Well... that's what we thought. There were other survivors. 12 nations had operational space stations against the time against the bombs. In space is where our group resides. The ark was our salvation. One station forged from the many. Us were told the earth needs another 100 years to become survivable again. Before more space-locked generations everyone could go home, back from the ground. The ground, that was the dream. But now we're here, eight child prisoners who were cast away in order to see if the rest could come down to the ground and survive. But where are the others? They're still up there and now we decide if they should come down or not."
An AU where only Clarke and 7 other delinquents came to the ground to see if it was survivable to save everyone on the Ark only to find out that there are others already on the ground. Together they create peace with the grounders, but the real test is to keep that when the rest of the Ark comes down. Can they keep the peace and help lead their people in surviving?
