Summary
The ceremony is surreal, like an out of body experience. She walks up a makeshift aisle, the crowd parting to watch her, to take her measure. She’s aware a priest of some sort says words that hush the crowd, but she can’t understand them. She throws a glance over her shoulder, where her mother is bleary eyed but stone faced. She shakes her head almost imperceptibly but she doesn’t interrupt or object. She knows their survival hinges on this.
She turns back to the priest, barely glancing at the man next to her, but his presence feels overwhelming. His breathing is even, he doesn’t fidget like she suddenly realises she is. He smells a bit spicy, a little heavy. Foreign. She nearly jumps when he shifts on his feet and brushes against her arm, the heat of him searing her skin.
Her eyes are firmly fixed ahead as the priest starts proceedings, as he chants prayers that she can’t decipher. She can only pick out certain words, and they all make her blood still in her veins. Death, fight, blood. If there is a word for love in trigedasleng she doesn't know it.

Summary
Bellamy and Gina were always seen as a perfect couple to anyone who were to look upon them.
Clarke finds out one night that they weren’t. That she, unbeknownst to her, was a part of the reason why.
(Or the one where Bellamy’s a single dad trying to raise two kids, and Clarke’s a highly successful lawyer who can’t handle one case in particular; her own )

Summary
Poker Night was simple enough. Show up at Clarke's every Thursday night. BYOB (no cans, always bottles), turn your phones off, don't get in the middle when Mom and Dad start to bicker, never mention Mt. Weather, and for the love of God don't bring any randos...It was simple. It really was. The thing about rules though? People can't help but break them.
aka five times someone ruined Poker Night and the one time all bets were off.

Summary
It's time to vote for Dropperton-Shipley University's annual yearbook superlatives! Octavia gets the genius idea to nominate grad student Bellamy and senior Clarke for Cutest Couple, despite the fact that they unquestionably loathe each other. The rest of the group thinks this is the best idea ever, and they each vow to get their respective departments to vote. The only person not on board is Finn. Will he screw up the whole scheme? If they win, will this make Bellamy and Clarke see each other differently, or will it only make them hate each other more? Based on a random Tumblr prompt that was totally intended for someone else.
