After walking away from Arkadia and the chaos of her people, Clarke Griffin chooses exile not as punishment-but as purpose. Now living in the tower beside Commander Lexa, she serves as Skaikru's ambassador, navigating the fragile alliances of the Coalition, one careful word at a time. But words aren't Clarke's only challenge.
Tension simmers in every glance exchanged with Lexa, whose calm exterior hides scars of war and betrayal. Bound by duty and haunted by their past, the two leaders walk a dangerous line between alliance and something deeper-something unspoken, and growing stronger with each shared breath in the echoing halls of power.
Just as trust begins to form, the past returns. Someone Lexa thought she buried long ago.

archenemy | clexa
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 :)Complete
