Hidden Feelings | Clexa AU

Clarke Griffin and Lexa Woods have been best friends since they were children, growing up side by side beneath Colorado's endless skies. Between long days on the Griffin family ranch, horseback rides through towering pine forests, weekends at the local rodeo, and summers spent swimming in hidden lakes, they've been inseparable for as long as anyone can remember.

Their lives, however, couldn't be more different. Clarke has grown up on her family's sprawling ranch, surrounded by rolling pastures, bustling stables, and a life where she's never had to worry about money or whether there would be enough.

Lexa, on the other hand, has learned the value of hard work from a young age, quietly taking on responsibilities and doing whatever she can to help at home. Sometimes, she can't help but feel like she doesn't quite belong in Clarke's world. But to Clarke, there has never been a line separating them. The Griffin ranch has never just been her home-it has always been Lexa's too.

However, burdened by painful family secrets and feelings she's spent years hiding, she's convinced that admitting the truth would cost her the one person she can't bear to lose.

But some feelings refuse to stay hidden.

hey guyss! 🤍

Welcome to this little alternative universe set in present-day colorado! This is a best friends to lovers story with a lot of slow burn.

Expect lots of nature, ranch life, horseback riding, rodeos, high school chaos, bonfires, lake days, late-night drives, small-town parties, and a whole bunch of found family vibes.

There's gonna be plenty of humor, 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟, teasing, jealousy, intense yearning, 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐭, emotional moments, and of course romance and eventual 𝐬𝐦𝐮𝐭. Basically... these two are gonna make you laugh, cry and hopefully kick your feet a little too.
