Summary
Clarke is nine when she realises she has a soulmate.
She positions the marker and begins, drawing an otter swimming her forearm. She’s most of the way finished when she feels a prickling and words appear underneath her otter. The fine blue ink and messy scrawl a stark contrast to the thick marker and neat drawing above it.
Go away. I don’t want a soulmate.
Clarke frowns at the words on her arm. She’s heard about soulmates, but they’re kind of rare and she’s only met two people who have one. She knows some of her friends have written messages on their own skin hoping that they would get a reply, but no one has ever gotten one as far as she knows. And now the blue ink on her arm clearly states that her soulmate isn’t interested in her. She hates them, she decides. Who cares if they don’t want her?
I don’t want one either. She writes in her thick marker. But this is my skin and I want to draw on it. So there. She completes her message with an entire zoo down both her arms. She’s working on her legs when her dad finally turns around.
Runner up in the Bellarke Fanwork Awards for best soulmates fic and nominated for best fluff, which is incredible!

Summary
Clarke glances at her dad’s old watch - about the only thing she has left of her old life. Fifteen minutes until her train pulls into Arkadia. Fifteen minutes until she returns to the life she’d run from. Fifteen minutes until she has to try and make things right with the friends she hasn’t spoken to in a year and a half. And she is not ready.
Leaving had been a mistake. She’d realised that about four weeks into running away. But she didn’t know how to come home. She’d deleted her social media accounts and not returned any of the calls or frantic messages from her friends. She didn’t know how to tell them she wanted to come home. Didn’t know how to reconnect with them. And the longer she waited, the harder it became. Until she had no choice, but to just show up and hope she could convince them she was worth forgiving.
or
Clarke has been gone for a year and half and now, while everyone needed her most and she has to make it up to her friends. -

Summary
They scamper outside excitedly, finding big sticks to use as trekking poles and bringing out paper and crayons to draw a map.
Of course, it only takes five minutes for them to find a trail. Harper promises her mum won’t come outside and they won’t get caught, so she manages to convince Monty they should follow it. It’s not very long, but they draw it onto their map as they walk, adding the tree that looks like it has arms.
At the end of the path, they find an abandoned car. It doesn’t have any wheels or license plates and Harper immediately declares it magic, running forward to open the door. Monty is a little apprehensive but Harper is never scared of anything, so he follows her forward. It’s fairly clean inside, compared to what it looks like on the outside and that makes Monty feel better. They draw the car onto the map in bright red crayon and add an X underneath.
“This is our secret spot,” Harper whispers, even though there is no one around. “In this magic car.”--
Or, Harper and Monty meet as children with various delinquent and Spacekru cameos throughout.

Summary
She finds Bellamy back on that floral couch. They’d moved it into the screened room for the winter, and then back out again once the days grew long and warm. It was becoming another tradition, apparently.
And so was this; him smoking on the sofa, her head on his shoulder, voices low in the early morning while everyone else was asleep and the world felt like it belonged to them, just for the moment.
“Someone had fun,” he teases, flicking at a spot on her neck. Clarke reaches up to feel the tender skin; Glass must have given her a hickey while they were getting carried away.
She flushes, but he’s looking back at the sunrise. “I always have fun,” she reminds him, and he groans.
“Yeah, I remember.”
“This is my favorite part, though,” Clarke says, curling up a little more against him so he’ll put his arm around her for warmth. She’s still kind of drunk, so she’s not sure if she’s making sense, but she trusts that he’ll get it. Bellamy always seems to understand what she means. “Just--us. It’s my favorite.”
Bellamy stubs out his cigarette and leans back against her. “Mine too.”

Summary
If Clarke could date, he was exactly who she would be going for. He’s smart, funny, a little too cute for his own good… He always managed to say the sarcastic thing that Clarke was already thinking. And he understood her curse, possibly even more than Wells did since he actually had one. He was sweet to her when he needed to be. He teased the hell out of her and loved to pick fights with her, but he knew when to be supportive. And when he praised her for something, she genuinely believed he meant every word.
Bellamy Blake was exactly who she would want in a world where she wasn’t cursed… which was why she needed to steer clear of him.
A Modern AU where Clarke Griffin has a curse. Anyone that she says the words "I love you" to will die. The only logical thing to do is to just swear off dating... or at least, that was the plan until Bellamy Blake walked into her life.

Summary
Clarke tends to think of the Olympics as one of those things she watches alone, because most of her friends just don't care, which is legit. When it turns out Bellamy's a fan too, it's a little confusing, but she can admit, it's nice to have company. She's been wanting to get to know him better.
