    Summary

    There are three things Clarke knows at the end of the world.

    All three are running through her head as she grips the side of the tower, her hands coated with sweat as she wills herself to move further up. Out of the corner of her eye, Clarke can see Praimfaya waging a war against the Ground that it could never win. She tells herself not to fully face it because the implication causes her to sweat in her palms and her legs to freeze. With the raging winds and the height, she doesn't need any more anxiety about what she's doing. So she focuses up, staring at the dish that refuses to align as she does so, telling herself over and over again it's only a little bit further.

    It's a lie, but a lie that slowly recedes the further she climbs and soon enough, her feet land on a solid platform and she lets out a shaky breath. The fire rages on.

    ~~~~~~~~~~

    People said the end of the world happened six years ago. They didn't tell Clarke that it would actually be happening now. (Or, the S5 AU nobody wants, but I'm writing anyway)

    Summary

    Things are different when Eligius breaks new ground on the planet with the two suns. Clarke has Madi. Bellamy and Spacekru just lost a third of their family. The ship is lined with the glass coffins of murderers and cannibals. What looks like grass slices through their clothes and skin like ribbon. The trees on this planet move in the night, and they are hungry. It is beautiful, and alien, and deadly, and once again—they are not alone.

    But they are Clarke and Bellamy, and falling into step with one another comes easier than breathing.

    Things are different on the ground. Different, but the same.

    .

    or: Clarke Griffin knows what it means to give everything. Bellamy Blake does not know how to love without sacrifice.
    update: on hiatus. Struggling with inspiration and self-doubt.

    Summary

    The World is Brighter than The Sun Now That You’re Here (though your eyes will need some time to adjust)

    As a child, Clarke liked to refer to someone's colour-match as their soulmate. For months she would talk loudly about how she couldn't wait to meet them... But that was a long time ago. Reality is more complicated.

    Colour sure is pretty though.
