In the quiet town of Arkadia, twenty-year-old Clarke Griffin spends her days painting storms and hiding from a world that has always felt too loud. Living with Tourette's has taught her to expect judgment, distance, and disappointment-so she keeps her world small, safe, and carefully controlled.
Lexa Woods lives differently.
A young police officer trying to outrun her own past, Lexa fills her days with patrols, early mornings at the gym, and watching the girl on the porch who paints like she's pouring pieces of herself onto the canvas.
Their connection begins quietly-a few words, a shared silence, a daisy left on a step-but something deeper begins to grow.
Clarke is convinced she's too much for anyone to stay.
Lexa has already decided she isn't going anywhere.
In a story built on patience, quiet understanding, and moments that mean more than words ever could, Clarke and Lexa discover that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is simply let someone stay.

single moms are ugly... and other lies | clexa AU
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She doesn't even think as far as that the woman could become more than that, let alone become the person who proves her outdated views on being a single mom wrong.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 28.05.23Complete
