As far as the world is concerned, Clarke was raised a southern belle, from a rich plantation family in small town Alabama.
She's finally become somebody, a successful designer on her way to becoming a household name. But when her boyfriend, Finn Collins, son of New York City's mayor, proposes to her and she says yes, Clarke finds herself back in Polis, Alabama. Back in her hometown for the first time in five years, Clarke has to come to terms with the fact that maybe she's been living a lie in New York.
Oh, and that if she wants to marry Finn, she first needs to convince her high school sweetheart, Lexa Woods, to sign their divorce papers.
Bellamy and Octavia are Clarke's family. Simple as that. They have been since she was 5 years old. And now, a sophomore in college, nothing has changed. Until everything starts to.

I'm sorry I'm really not great at summaries yikes. Basically it's a Bellarke college au, Finn's a dick, Bellamy is protective and great, Clarke has some self-image issues, chosen family trumps blood. I honestly don't even know ngl. I'm making it up as I go, but it will have fluff and angst and a few more serious things, but it's fun to write so here you go :)
