Bellamy Blake - Polis
꒰ ୨୧ ꒱ ⸝⸝ They met in the shop's area of Polis, you trading Bellamy a small wooden sculpture, which he kept. Thinking of you every day, every day for 2,026 days. ﹒   ⊹  ⤷ cw: sfw, angst, spoilers, emotional cheating, grounder reader
Tumblr media
Waking up you were met with the familiar sounds of busy streets, sounds of horses, and bells as people tried to attract traders towards their shops; most would call these sounds annoying or obnoxious but you called them home.
Sitting up you stretched and let out a small yawn, washing away the exhaustion. Throwing your wolf fur bedsheets off the cold air nipped at your exposed skin, sending a chill down your spine. You shivered as your bare feet met the cold wood below you.
Walking to your dresser you pulled out one of your usual outfits. A pair of leather jeans with laces running along the sides, a long-sleeved shirt, and a ripped-up gray T-shirt to go over that due to the chilly weather this morning.
Placing on your black leather boots you made your way downstairs, to your small wood shop. You made all kinds of wooden things. Wooden bowls, plates, sculptures, commissions, and even toys for children.
Your shop had become well-loved by the people of Polis.
Gathering the small tools you needed to carve the wood you sat down and placed a bucket between your feet for the excess wood that fell. It was a good fire starter that you often gave out to the people of Polis.
Picking up a tool you began the familiar practice, going for a little bunny. They had been your favorite animal.
You were finishing up the bunny when you heard the sudden commotion and bustling streets come to a halt, placing down the bunny on your shop's front desk you looked up and found people lined up at their respective shops, letting three people pass peacefully.
One was a blonde-haired girl, another was an older man with speckled hair and a beard, and the last was a fairly attractive black-haired guy with freckles. The blonde and noir were holding hands before he locked eyes with your shop, pointing before walking over. Your nerves were all over the place, what could they have wanted?
He had approached your shop, entranced with the tiny sculptures, landing at the one in front of you.
He had spoken but you couldn't understand that well, the only word you could understand was 'you'.
Suddenly standing up and taking the bunny in your hand you made a motion for him to take it.
"Beja, disha gon yu." Please, this is for you. /
You spoke with a smile and saw him shake his head in a 'no' motion, bringing his hands up and waving them with a smile.
You insisted, "Beja," And after a few seconds, he gave in, taking the small bunny with a goofy grin, admiring the talent in his hands.
Before he could give anything in return Clarke rushed to two into the tower, speaking words you could barely understand.
All you could do was stand there in awe of the situation that just passed.
The streets covered back in crowds of people and the bustling streets once again started.
The day came and went with every few customers as everyone was hiding, not wanting to cross paths with the Skaikru people.
You, on the other hand, stayed open for as long as you could. Wishing the boy from before would visit. You couldn't understand what made the boy so intriguing, maybe it was the way he didn't wanna accept the gift without anything to give, or maybe it was the way his black locks complimented his dirty freckles, or the way he admired your art so intently, or how his voice sounded speaking his mother-tongue.
It was your first run-in with the Skaikru people, so you had no clue who they were or the importance they held within the clans.
You had originally been from Floukru, the boat people, who believed in peace, and you still did. But you wanted to reach other people with your talents, wanted to see the world past the fish-filled sea. So after multiple promises to Luna, she gave you your wish, and if at any time you wanted to shed always accept you back.
The darker it got the more lights were lit and the less people who crowded the streets, and with every minute was a minute more where your exhaustion caught up to you.
Lana, from Azgeda, approached your shop. Lana was a good friend of yours, one of the first friends you made since you came to Polis. She traded you some meat and in return would take two sculptures she found mesmerizing that day.
"Heya, Lana," You greeted with a smile as she placed the small bag full of salted meat on the table. "Ha yu?" How are you?/
She swiftly returned my smile, examining the sculptures laid on the table.
"otaim gud, mochof," Always good, thank you?/
Lana was a woman of few words, but she was a kind person.
In her hands was a gorilla, and a fox.
"Pauna!" She said excitedly, she loved Pauna the gorilla.
The conversation was cut short when the people from Skaikru approached your shop, you gave Lana and nod and she returned it, eyeing the three before walking off.
Looking towards them you noticed the blonde once again hand in hand with the raven-haired boy.
"Komba raun?" came back?/ You greeted, only for the black-haired one to rip a patch off the arm of his black jacket, now handing it to you.
You took it from him, examining the patch with a smile.
It was a black patch, stars above a rocket.
"Ai Bellamy kom Skaikru, yu?" I'm Bellamy from Skaikru, you? /
You were surprised at his Trigdasleng, though it was a simple greeting it showed he tried.
You giggled before replying, "Ai y/n kom Floukru,"
"Clarke, Kane," Bellamy pointed to the people standing behind him, Kane moving up holding out his hand.
"Hei, y/n," Kane greeted, a smile evident. Though you weren't sure why he had his hand out you took it and he shook it. A confused look on your face made Bellamy smile.
Clarke had seemed to have enough from the greeting.
"Let's go," Clarke rushed, the two men nodding their heads. Before leaving Bellamy turned to take on last look at you, but you watched the entire time he left, repeating his name in your head over and over.
The next two days had been painful, metaphorically and physically. You had been distracted every waking minute, mind always going back to Bellamy. Being so distracted you even cut your thumb on accident. But it had created a cool black pattern on the sculpture so you didn't mind all too much.
When Lana would come around you'd beg her to teach you some English words, you could form semi-comprehensible sentences now.
You tried to forget about Bellamy, telling yourself you never see him again and that he wouldn't be thinking of you.
You were more than wrong.
Bellamy had been thinking of you since the moment he got back in the rover that day, he knew it was wrong, he knew he should be happy with Clarke, but he couldn't help his mind going back to you. He even got Lincoln to teach him more Trigdasleng, though it took a lot of persuasion and questions he couldn't answer for fear Lincoln would tell Clarke.
Every moment he got he would look at the bunny, hold it in his pocket for comfort, stare at it lovingly before bed, relishing in the warm feeling it brought him. You brought him. Every day he'd wondered when the next trip to Polis was.
Clarke knew something was up with Bellamy but she couldn't quite catch what was up, well, until he asked when their next trip to Polis was. Bellamy had always dreaded trips to Polis, hating the way the Grounders would stare. But Clarke found herself not caring, for reasons beyond her comprehension. She found herself looking forward to Polis as well, looking forward to Lexa.
So when the familiarly busy street died down, the happiness inside you shot to the roof.
Placing down the dark-wooded bunny you looked excitedly for the black-haired boy, nerves growing even more when he approached your stand.
"Hei-"
"Hello-"
You both spoke at the same time in your opposite language, a shocked look on your faces soon being replaced by fits of giggles.
"We'll be in the castle, Bellamy," Clarke said, giving a warm smile to you both.
Bellamy only nodded, quickly returning his attention to you.
"I thought you didn't know English?" Bellamy asked with a smile.
"I didn't, not well," You said after processing his sentence "Lana, the girl with meat taught me,"
"Well, it's very impressive,"
"impressive...?"
He thought for a moment, "gud,"
You smiled, something he loved seeing now.
"New sculptures?" He asked, lifting one up for you to correlate the word.
Your face beamed, always excited to talk about your work, "Sha! Thought of you! Dark wood, dark hair, nami?" Yes, know what I mean/
Bellamys face flushed at your words, bringing out the other bunny from his pocket, "Yeah, I take it everywhere with me," He handed it to you.
You examined how dirty it had gotten, "Looks like me now," You said, a giggle following after. You handed the bunny back and he did the same, a silence fell between both of you, not an awkward one, a silence where you both took in each other, neither of you wanting this moment to end.
"Come, glong raun," join /
You motioned for him to jump over the stand. "I'll teach you,"
Bellamy didn't hesitate to jump over, landing inches near you.
Taking in his scent you flushed, he smelled good, manly-like.
Bellamy thought you smelled amazing, and you did, every morning you'd rub vanilla oil into your neck and arm areas, and it worked wonders.
Getting up you pulled a small stool next to you, motioning him to sit, which he happily did. Once you sat and faced him you handed a tool and a small chunk of wood you had taken the bark off of already.
The smaller stool made him face-to-face with you, now letting him fully take in your face.
"Just ease into it," You spoke softly, showing him how to do it, though he was too busy looking at how focused you were, how you bit your lip when you concentrated.
You looked back up at him, expectantly.
Snapping out of his thoughts he tried his best to mimic your movements, though his turned out rigid and rough, making you laugh.
"You are in control," You said, going back to carving, as did he.
Twenty minutes had passed and you were finished, you had made a fish.
Looking over to his he made a... cat? dog? It looked like something you'd see in your nightmares, but it was his so you loved it all the same.
You patiently waited till he was done, which only took three more minutes till he gave up.
"I just don't have gentle hands like you," He said, a compliment hidden in plain sight. You laughed again, he loved it when you did, he loved that you found him funny.
"I love the cat," You said, taking it in your hands with a small smile, feeling the rough edges.
He scoffed amusingly, "It's a deer," To which you busted out laughing, throwing apologies his way. You laughed so hard you almost fell out of your seat, Bellamy had to hold your sides to hold you in place
After calming down you noticed the position you were in, Bellamy's hands on your hips, the big, calloused hands bringing a newfound warmth to your sides.
Even though you were no longer laughing neither of you made any motion to move.
Well until you were interrupted by a teary-eyed Clarke and a distraught Kane.
"Bellamy, we need to go, now!" She yelled, Bellamy quickly letting go before giving you one last look. He hopped over the stand and walked towards the rover, Clarke explaining.
You were sure she was mad at you for being so intimate with Bellamy, you were far from right.
Clarke had explained Bellamy Lexa's death, how Titus had shot her in an attempt to take Clarke's life, and how the world would end in 2 months.
For two months you hadn't seen Bellamy, hadn't seen Skaikru.
Lexa's death hit Polis hard. Thieves are more evident now that there was no true commander, they never hit my shop, who would want to steal wood? Wood you give out for free anyway.
Lana was a no-show as well, last you heard she got food poisoning from fish, you had hoped she was okay.
People had been getting sick more as well, spores being found on the dead bodies around Polis. They held a conclave a few days prior, for a bunker to survive the radiation, Luna fought in it, for Floukru and death. But the water thought it was her time to return.
You were closing up shop for the night when you heard a familiar voice coming from downstairs.
"y/n, y/n!" It was Bellamy.
You rushed downstairs, practically tripping over the steps, his voice had a tinge of urgency. He was dressed in an orange suit with a helmet on.
"I need you to come with me, now," He demanded, an extra suit in hand.
"What? Why?"
You couldn't just leave my life here, though it was small it was peaceful and enjoyable.
"I'll explain on the way, we don't have much time,"
You shook your head, a wave of fear washing over you.
"Please, I can't leave you here, I.." He cut himself off hesitantly.
"I'm sorry, bell..." You felt tears pricking at your eyes, watching his already sliding down his cheeks.
"Please, stay safe in the bunker," Bellamy pleaded, you nodded as the rover honked in urgency, he left the suit on the desk and rushed off to the rover, looking back to make sure of your answer.
You wanted to so badly go with him, but something was stopping you. Fear, anxiety for what the future held. Once the rover departed you grabbed Bellamy's deer and suit and headed towards the bunker, Indra greeting you.
"Last for Floukru?"
Everything in you was telling you to turn around, and find comfort in the radiation-soaked forest, Luna had always told you to listen to your instinct.
You shook your head, a concerned look growing on Indra's face, "We won't be able to open the doors for 5 years,"
"May we meet again, Indra kom Trikru,"
"May we meet again, y/n kom Floukru," She nodded to the guards outside the hatch, entering before closing it, a loud locking sound coming from inside.
You walked back to your stand, placing the suit on with the helmet. A bittersweet feeling took over your body as you heard people scream, people you knew, your friends. The last thing you heard was a loud crash before passing out.
You hadn't expected to wake up, you had fully accepted death. So when you awoke it was a surprise to you. An even bigger surprise to see Clarke hauling big rocks from the bunker zone. Slowly taking in your surroundings everything was covered in sand, you couldn't even recognize Polis anymore. The huge castle in the middle is now the size of a house.
Once you took in you reached for Bellamy's deer, relief replacing your panic with a sigh, gaining the attention of Clarke. Who was now sweaty.
"C'mon, I'll teach you to drive, and explain along the way."
It had been 58 days since Bellamy went to space. 58 days and 57 nights you spent thinking of him. You and Clarke had made it to Shallow Valley, it was like the explosions completely missed the Valley, but the radiation didn't. Clarke had found a nightblood in the woods while I radioed the ring, you had done it every day since she found the mini panel and radio. It gave you hope, hope that they made it, hope that everything was okay.
"Anyway, I still have your deer, Bellamy. I wonder if you have the bunny I made."
Your words got cut short by Clarke's scream, and you instantly shot up and ran in the direction of the noise.
Clarke had been caught in a bear trap.
Was this from the girl?
You undid the hinges, successfully freeing her with one last scream.
"Can you walk?" You asked, staring down at the bloodied ankle.
"No," She let out between grunts of pain.
It had been 1968 days since then, or in other words, 5 and a half years, and with every passing day, you lose hope. What if they had run out of air? What if they didn't even make it to the ring?
Bellamy was looking out the window of the ring, staring at the small dot of green while fiddling with the wooden bunny. He had thought about you every day since he got here, cherishing the memories spent between you and him. Ghosts of your touches remained on his skin, a fond memory of your being. Today was the day they finally went back down to the ground. Having just enough fuel to land. He didn't know if you were dead or alive, part of him was scared to find out either answer.
You were snapped out of your thoughts when you heard a loud rumbling sound, shaking the earth every time it got closer.
Clarke and Maddi had rushed by my side, tears pouring out of your eyes at the thought he was really alive.
The rumbling sound ceased when they landed below the cliff of Shallow Valley, you raced into the rover, waiting for Maddi and Clarke to hop in before speeding down to their landing spot.
When you arrive the door to the spaceship is already open, Raven and Emori checking out the damage to the ship, Murphy practically kissing the ground, and Monty and Harper are hugging.
Their attention was soon drawn to the rover, and then you saw him.
Bellamy climbed out of the ship, locking eyes with you from the car.
Opening the door slowly you stepped out, in disbelief of the sight in front of you. Once reality hit you ran to him, jumping in his arms as tears began to pour again, soaking his shirt with tears.
You had dreamed of this moment for 2,026 days.
Your grip on him was tight but not as tight as his grip. Bellamy felt as if you'd vanish in thin air.
"2,026 days, Bell," You breathed out into the crevice of his neck. Still refusing to let go.
Bellamy felt something hard on your pocket, he pulled it out and a wide grin fell on his face.
"You kept it? All this time?" He asked, examining the rough edges, the memory clear in his mind like it was just yesterday.
"I couldn't lose it, it was the only thing I had of yours,"
Bellamy swore he could continue crying, he cupped your face, examining how little changed about you.
"How are you alive?" Bellamy asked.
You grabbed ahold of his hands and rubbed circles on the back of them, "Nightblood, I could never tell anyone before,"
"She's the girl you wouldn't shut up about?" A guy spoke, who you assumed was Murphy from Clarke's stories and drawings.
Both you and Bellamy flushed at Murphy's words, stepping back to let Clarke and the others reunion.
It had been a few hours since everyone headed back to the Shallow Valley village. You and Bellamy were perched on the cliff, gazing over the sandy dunes and stars as music played from the rover.
He had been telling you stories from the ring, though there wasn't much to tell. And you had been sharing stories from the years.
'Cause every night, I'm talking to the moon,'
"Every day, for 2,026 days, I radioed you," You had admitted, eyes still locked onto the stars. Bellamy's eyes were locked onto you, still taking in your everlasting beauty hours later.
'Still trying to get to you,'
You looked down at your hands, resting gently on your thighs.
"I love you, Bell," You said softly, just enough for him to hear.
'In hopes you're on the other side, talking to me too,'
Bellamy felt his face grow hot, every worry dissipating with just a few words.
'Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?'
You felt Bellamy gently cup your cheek, making you look into his eyes. Leaning in slowly you intertwined lips, seconds now feeling like years as time stopped. The feeling of his chapped lips finally against yours was all you cared about.
After what felt like decades you pulled away with big, goofy grins. Staring intently into each other's eyes.
"I love you too,"

Hello, could you write a Lexa x Skaikru reader where lexa is protective and possessive of reader. Lot of fluff pls
Protective Lexa
Pairing: Lexa X Reader Warnings: Slight dark Lexa? Protective, possessive, mentions of cutting off an arm (not really). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lexa never really let you do anything by yourself. You were always accompanied by either her or one of her personal guards. Even just walking to your room was a problem. You could not go anywhere without one of them but most of the time you did not care. For some reason it brought you comfort to know that she cared about you so much and you know part of her worries came from her finding costias head.
Although this protectiveness soon turned into possesivness. She would constantly leave hickeys all over you and eventually suggested you getting a tattoo of her name. When in meetings you were to sit on her lap as she held you tightly against her and glared at anyone that looked at you the wrong way. 
Hanging out with your friends would turn into her claiming you all night because she believed Octavia had a thing for you (you didn’t dare mention that you two used to be a thing when you first came to the ground). 
She even threatened to cut off a merchants hand while he was tying a bracelet around your wrist. You had to physically drag her away as she muttered under her breath about how only she was allowed to touch you and that he was holding you a little to tight.
While she could be a little over the top sometimes you enjoyed the softer moments where she would protect you or hold you after a long day.
In one of the clans meeting once a guy from Floukru had said something you didn’t quite understand but you knew it was bad when Lexa motioned for you to stand up. Doing so you stood beside her chair as she walked up to the poor guy. She said some words in Trigedasland and although you couldn’t understand Clarke later explained that Lexa had threatened everyone. 
Or the time were one of the grounders had attempted to flirt with you and kept going despite your numerous attempts at denying him. Lexa had showed up right as he backed you into a corner and quickly interfered. You laid in her arms that night sobbing as she rocked you gently while whispering sweet nothings in your ear.
Lexa also liked to gift you numerous items whether it be a new sketch book, jewerly, candles (you had so many candles), pens, ink, anything you asked for she would get it. You also had a enormous wardrobe as she liked to buy you lots of silk and lace. She also had created your war paint which resembled hers but slightly different. She did that and your hair every morning and you would return the favor. At night she would remove it all and wash you in the bath gently as she left small kisses on your shoulders and tell you how much she loved you.
Lexa was many things a leader, a warrior, some might even call her a killer. But to you she was your hero, saver, lover, your everything. She was your safe place and you were hers.

Could you write another alpha Clarke and omega Lexa chapter in your fic? I think it would be cool to see their first time together
Read on Ao3
Lexa hated Azgeda. 
A necessary headache, Titus would say, to preserve the Coalition. Lexa understood the logic: Azgeda was the largest northern clan, with thousands of seasoned warriors and an established mining operation and wool production. A useful and important ally.
It didn't change the fact that Lexa despised them.
"Heda," mumbled a short boy serving her wine, her personal server for the night's celebration. Her drink was bitter, and she hid her grimace with another gulp. 
With Azgeda, the Coalition—Lexa's dream—was complete. There would be sleepless nights to argue about treaties and new alliances to form, but tonight, under the heavy and humid skies of Polis summer, Lexa's Coalition celebrated the integration of their last, most stubborn, and one of their most powerful members. 
Fucking Azgeda. 
Lexa stared at Nia and her pitiful entourage. Nia gorged herself on wine and salted meats, berry juices running down her pale chin as she called for her son to bring her more wine. Nia was everything Lexa despised in an alpha: public debauchery, loud threats that other people would have to fill for her; a sickening air of forced superiority, as if the world needed to know about her cock.
Lexa hated her.
"Behave," Anya warned from her side, and Lexa could swear her old mentor was teasing her. 
"I'm not doing anything," Lexa complained into her cup, adjusting her seat on her throne. 
"So you were not about to challenge Nia to some stupid party game simply to publicly humiliate her?" Anya eyed the knife on Lexa's hand, knowing her commander had a penchant for throwing it at parties. Mostly for fun.
"In any case, she'd name a champion. The woman never does anything herself." 
"She's their chosen leader, Heda."
Chosen. An old-fashioned way to select a leader. A true leader had intelligence and strength, like Lexa. A true leader proved their way with a blade. 
Lexa would never name a champion if challenged by that pitiful woman. 
Spirits, how she hated them.
0000000000
When wine was low in cups and laughter was high on cheeks, Lexa knew it was the moment she could escape the celebration. She waited for that moment and not a second longer, with Anya like a shadow behind her as they headed to her tower. The festivities spilled from the central market to the tower, with most ambassadors hosted on the first floor. Lexa refused the requests for liquor and dancing, thanking Floukru's representative and trying not to laugh at Sankru’s joke about Nia's dick, or lack thereof. 
She made her way around the main lobby, aiming to reach her private elevator, but stopped at the sharp sound of a slap. It came from a dark corridor that led to the ambassador's quarters. Anya touched her knife, but Lexa raised a hand. There would be no bloodshed tonight to honor their new Coalition member. Instead, Lexa headed to the corridor, the unmistakable sound of whimpering filling the air.
Nia's hand was red from the slap, and she shook it ungracefully. On her knees, the woman Lexa knew to be the Azgeda general shook her head, a trickle of blood brimming on her cheek. Nia's ring had left it there.
"Don't you ever question me," Nia hissed, inebriated and angry. Her crow was crooked on her pale curls, and she looked like everything Lexa thought of her: a small, scared woman.
"My queen, she's to be your ambassador. You asked me to appoint her, and she deserves respect," the wounded general said, eyes cast down.
Between them, still whimpering, another woman kneeled, tears overflowing from her lowered chin. Her dress was torn, carelessly so, and the omega in Lexa snarled with recognition.
"Is there anything you need, Queen Nia?" Lexa's voice boomed in the corridor, not matching her serene, small smile. Nia startled, her fury melting in surprise. She stood taller, shaking her head. 
"I appreciate your hospitality, Heda, but my general and ambassador were simply lost. If you may direct them," she said with the easy pride of someone used to giving orders, but her speech was slurred and she was not in a position to give orders to Heda Lexa.
Anya growled from the shadows, but Lexa stopped it with a flick of her wrist. "A guard will assign them a room. Have a good night, Queen Nia."
That was as much as a dismissal would be, and Nia slammed her doors once inside, like the pup she was.
The general stood up and helped the distressed omega, exchanging short and sharp words. The omega bowed her head to Lexa and disappeared at the end of the hallway. 
"I appreciate your kindness, Heda Lexa," the general said, as if her cheek wasn't still bleeding, "but please refrain from interviewing in Azgeda's internal politics."
Anya took a full step out of the shadows to threaten the other woman, who lowered her head and continued, "I mean no disrespect. But Nia is a proud leader and will not take kindly to looking weak."
"You talking to your queen doesn't make her look weak." Lexa pulled a handkerchief from her coat pocket, extending it between them as a peace offering. "Your queen trying to rape her newly appointed ambassador, on the contrary, does make her look weak."
The general, all hard lines on pale skin marked by scars and weather, looked Lexa up and down before accepting the cloth. She placed it on her cheek, and it slowly turned scarlet. It made her eyes darker in that dim hallway. 
"I appreciate your concern," the general said, tilting her head in half a bow, her voice clipped. 
"I haven't seen you at the festivities," Lexa found herself saying, her mind intent on deciphering the puzzle that seemed to be the Azgeda woman. 
"There are other priorities besides celebration."
A hard worker. Maybe Nia had half a brain to have someone like that at her side. 
"Will the ambassador need any more assistance? Or will you be with her through the night?"
Lexa felt the confused look Anya shot at her back.
The general's eyebrows rose to her hairline, and she shook her head. "The ambassador will be taken care of," she said, her hand covering half her face with a bloody cloth, but Lexa saw the beginning of a smile. "Even if not by me."
Lexa nodded and continued on her way to the elevator. 
Anya's smirk showed her teeth as the doors closed in front of them.
"Oh, shut up," Lexa said in their native tongue.
"I didn't say anything."
"You were thinking it."
"Maybe you are the one with a vivid imagination."
There might be something good in Azgeda after all.
0000000000
Her name was Clarke. 
Unlike Nia, she acquired her position by personal merit while leading Azgeda's army against invasions from the frozen north.
She was also an unmated alpha, but not like Lexa was paying any attention.
On their month-long visit to Polis, Clarke was the only Azgeda warrior who visited the training grounds every single sunrise. It simply happened that Lexa did the same. And it was because of this coincidence that Lexa found herself able to act on her hatred for Azgeda in her daily combat training with their most revered general. It was almost an even battle.
Clarke's back lifted dust in the training grounds as she fell. She grunted with the effort to roll out of Lexa's wooden spear, jumping to her feet to avoid another blow from the commander's weapon. Her blood mixed with the orange and copper dust as she spit on the ground.
"Again," she asked, and Lexa nodded, her spear fast and accurate.
When they stopped, the sun had risen completely—a new summer morning in the capital of the Coalition. They drank water in silence, with Clarke perched on the training fence while Lexa rested her hips against it. 
"Why do you insist on fighting unarmed?" Lexa voiced the question that had been nagging her since the general had inquired if they could train together.
"It's what I need to develop." Clarke's voice was always low and gravely in the mornings. Not that Lexa talked to her at any other time of the day, but she liked to imagine that voice was for her ears only.
"But you carry a weapon. The Azgeda sling."
Clarke chucked. "Azcaretha. Please don't call it a sling."
"What is it, then?"
"A traditional weapon crafted by Azgeda specialists."
"In the format of a sling," Lexa completed, and Clarke snorted into her cup.
Watching them, Anya squinted her eyes. Lexa was getting very good at ignoring her pointed looks.
Clarke picked up her azcaretha from the side of the training grounds, crossed the dusty arena, leaving her empty cup on a post, and walked back to Lexa. Lexa raised an eyebrow in challenge, and the other woman smirked. Clarke looked at her target, took a deep breath, and raised her left arm in an arch, twisting the soft leather of her weapon in a continuous flow until it spun once, twice, and three times, and a rock Lexa had not even noticed was there flew with surgical precision and hit the metallic cup across the arena. It fell with a loud ring.
For the first time, Lexa saw a side of smug alpha in the general. She was able to control her face with nonchalant approval, but when Clarke smiled triumphantly at Lexa’s silent praise, there was no stopping the heat surging low in her belly. Just a little.
0000000000
The Azgueda entourage had a lightness to them without their queen. Laughter bubbled easier and mead went down faster, scarred faces broken into grins around their blonde circle.
Polis welcomed the start of the fall harvest with a festival, which coincided with the Azgeda general's last days in Polis. Lexa would miss their morning training, though she would never admit that. She saw the general put her hand around the Azgeda ambassador's shoulders, the two of them a perfect pair of scars and wheat hair, and whatever she felt about it, it wasn't good. Lexa would not admit to that either. 
"Heda." 
Lexa straightened her shoulders and took another sip of her mulled wine. It tasted sharp and sweet, with a touch of spice that overwhelmed her tongue. It came from Azgeda, and she wondered if everything from there tasted sweet. And that was another thought for the secret box. "What, Anya?" Her own general stared at the Azgeda group with a tilt to her chin that Lexa immediately disliked. 
"It’s the Azgeda general’s last night in Polis," Anya said casually, in a way she didn’t say anything. Anya was not casual; she was purposeful and direct.
"Speak your mind." Lexa took another sip from her cup. Sweet, sweet Azgeda wine.
"You won’t see her again. It won’t be a problem for the coalition."
"Spirits, Anya, what are you—"
"Spend the night with her." Anya shrugged at Lexa’s frown. "It will do you good."
Clarke chose that moment to turn and find Lexa’s eyes, waving from the other side of the Polis Tower room. The candles made her eyes flash darker, giving Lexa a steely focus. Lexa’s cheeks warmed, and she hoped it was the Azgeda wine and not the Azgeda alpha. 
"Do you approve of her?" Lexa challenged, aware of Anya’s overprotectiveness. 
"I said spend the night with her, not join her under the Spirits," Anya mumbled, crossing her arms. That was as close to an approval as Lexa was ever going to get. What had the general done to convince Anya? 
Lexa rose from her honorable table, nodding to the Floukru Ambassador, who had too much of the mulled wine. She glanced back at Clarke and held her gaze. Clarke raised a pale eyebrow, and Lexa nodded. The way the alpha licked her lips was satisfying. Lexa’s commander emblem itched on her forehead as she excused herself to the kitchens, apparently in search of wine. Anya stopped by the door and didn't follow.
Thin layers of dust covered the caskets in the tower's wine cellar, an underground room accessible by a simple hatch with a single window to the lower gardens. The hatch was left unlocked, and no servant would follow the commander. New, clean casks with Azgeda-burned symbols rested next to the entrance, and Lexa lifted a lid to smell the richness of what was becoming her favorite beverage.
A minute passed, then two. Five. Ten. 
Maybe the general wasn't as sagacious as she had expected, or maybe that wasn’t a good idea at all, because flirting on the training grounds was one thing, but acting on her impulses was another. She should, as Heda—
"Bloody chicken hell!" The exclamation was accompanied by a loud thud in the quiet room, the small garden window shaking in its rusty frame. Lexa, a glass of wine in hand, walked to the lump of a warrior on the ground: a mess of blonde tresses and swears.
"There is a door," Lexa pointed to the hatch above them, her lips curling in unsuppressed amusement.
Clarke dusted herself off and stood up with what was left of her dignity. Her cheeks flushed a beautiful pink, a stark contrast to the scars that painted her face. "I was under the impression you wanted me to be discreet."
"Did you accomplish that?" Lexa raised an eyebrow at the ajar window, music and laughter from the celebration invading the cellar. 
Clarke made a small noise at the back of her throat, the pink in her cheeks turning a shade of burgundy. "Well enough."
"And what do you plan to do now that you're here?" Lexa abandoned her glass on top of a forgotten cask. She took a couple steps further into the room, away from the few candles and the only door. 
Clarke seemed to know an invitation when offered one. 
The cold from the stone room vanished when the Azgeda warrior—fully recovered from her window stunt—stepped into Lexa's personal space, close enough for them to share heat. 
"I have an idea or two," Clarke whispered as she took in Lexa's scent, her nose dangerously close to a pulsing neck. Lexa placed her forearms on the general's shoulders, liking how comfortable they felt there. Clarke leaned in, their hips meeting, sharp Azgeda leather and the commander's sash entwining. Lexa's forefinger followed the line of a long scar, a silver drawing that curled on Clarke's temple and climbed down a pink cheek to meet her chin. Lexa shared a breath with Clarke, who closed her eyes and sighed under Lexa’s touch.
"So at least two?" Lexa challenged, and her stomach filled with butterflies at being lifted, a playful growl leaving Clarke’s lips. 
"That’s a promise." 
Lexa nodded, their noses meeting in a feathery touch. "Show me, then. General." It was whispered with reverence. 
The kiss was not what Lexa expected. Azgeda was hard ice, cold, fierce, and unforgiving. But all she found on Clarke's lips was warmth and softness. Lexa welcomed Clarke closer, her legs spreading to allow more heat, more access, and more Clarke.
And who would know that wine wasn’t the only sweet Azgedian export.

Heavy Lies The Crown
by thelittlefanpire
The 100 | Bellarke | S1 Canon Divergence | Arranged Marriage AU
Twelve Nations came together in space to make up the Ark after nuclear bombs destroyed the earth.
After one hundred and eighty years, it was time to return home. The twelve ships dropped down like falling stars one at a time over the course of a few years, but the Sky People were not alone on Earth.
Twenty years after assimilating with the twelve Grounder Clans, three rulers emerged; the Ice Nation in the North, Trikru in the East, and Skaikru in the West.
Clarke Griffin, Princess of Skaikru, comes of age when Bellamy Blake of Floukru is set to rule the Clans, but Roan, the Ice Prince of Azgeda, is ready to take back the throne.
To keep the peace among them an arranged marriage is proposed.

civil war au masterpost    (canon divergent after 216)
clarke: “why should i trust [queen nia?] from what i hear, she's worse than lexa.”  roan:  “that's because you've been talking to lexa.”
basic information
concept:  after the battle for the mountain, the coalition is crumbling. some defend the commander’s retreat, but others see it as an unforgivable act. azgeda leads the rebels while trikru defends their commander.
motive:  azgeda joined the coalition under the guise that it would help them defeat the mountain men.¹ when lexa spared the enemy and retreated, she failed this obligation. azgeda is no longer willing to follow her. they are angry with lexa for the same reason skaikru is.
here is lexa’s point of view
echo: “we abandoned skaikru in the battle for the mountain. it was wrong.” bellamy: “pike, she saved my life. we can trust her.”
notable differences from canon
this au is canon divergent after season two.  there is no time jump. events from seasons three and four will be integrated into this plot as necessary, but should not be assumed.
in 303, every clan but skaikru attempts to dethrone lexa. in this au,  trikru and its allies support lexa.  they may not be happy with her, but they prefer her to azgeda rule.
farm station is not at war with azgeda.  they were escorted to camp jaha (now arkadia) under the commander’s truce in 207.
clarke: “this is our unity day... you can be the thirteenth station or you can be the thirteenth clan.”
notale similarities to canon
azgeda was only part of the coalition for three years. commander lexa has been in power for nearly a decade (she ascended around madi’s age, twelve, and is now in her early twenties).
trishanakru, floukru, yujleda, and boudalan have been said to be allied with trikru.
the majority of the sky people side against lexa.³
boudalan ambassador: “if azgeda wants [polis], they must take it by force.” echo: “consider it taken.”
sources
interview addressing azgeda-coalition tensions
indra says floukru, yujleda, and boudalan will fight with trikru against azgeda (401). ankara kom trishanakru says trikru is calling on their allies to fight against azgeda and therefore they are sending their best warriors to polis (409).
kane says “the vote wasn’t close” when giving pike the chancellor’s pin (304).

Azgeda!Clarke (T)
resurrecting old requests :)
Read on Ao3
It was one of those days where the Coalition meeting brimmed with chaos, a reminder of deeply rooted distrust between clans. Lexa stepped out of the meeting room, where ambassadors still argued in harsh tones and loud voices. On days where escalating insults bordered on violence, Lexa’s hope wavered, but she reminded herself that any sort of heated words were better than civil war. She'd take angry ambassadors over them killing each other's puppies any day.
She nodded at the kind beta who brought her steaming tea, a small reprieve from the battle waiting for her back inside the meeting room. She had barked an order for a short break, the room reeking of alpha and veiled dominance. Lexa had to impose her leadership before things escalated between Floukru and Sangedakru. Another shout rang from the meeting, and Lexa knew Azgeda had entered the argument with the delicacy of a Pauna. 
So much squabbling over the price of salted fish.
The door behind her stretched open, and she had half a mind to wave Titus away, but instead of the submissive presence of her Flamekeeper, another scent enveloped her. 
"Shouldn’t you be inside making sure your ambassadors will not commit murder?" Lexa said sternly, her eyes on her tea. 
The woman behind her pushed back her navy blue hood, her pale scars gleaming silver against her sun-kissed skin."Astrid is a big girl. She can take care of herself."
Lexa did not move other than to look behind her shoulders. "There will be consequences if Azgeda starts a fight."
Unbothered, the intruder took another step, the small chamber behind the meeting room feeling smaller as Lexa breathed her in.
"What kind of consequences?" There was a playful tug to the Azgeda’s smile, teasing, but Lexa did not flinch. 
"Do not take another step if you do not want another mark on that pretty face of yours." 
The smile blossomed into a full grin. 
"You think I’m pretty?"
Green eyes widened slightly at the audacity. A clearing of the throat broke the stare Lexa found herself stuck in, and she turned fully to the door where Titus held it open. The voices from the arguing had died down.
"Heda, the ambassadors are ready to proceed with the meeting," he informed, his eyes avoiding the other presence in the room.
Lexa nodded, noticing how the Azgeda ignored Titus with the same levity as being ignored. 
"Commander." She bowed, and Lexa walked past her, heading back for another round of negotiations. 
"Clarke," she nodded curtly, but Titus' presence had soured the alpha's grin.
It was better that way.
The large meeting room felt hot as Lexa stepped back inside.
000000000
It took another long day of meetings and ordering Titus away from her quarters for Lexa to find herself alone with that scent again. Her fingers rested on an unturned page, and she allowed her shy smile to grow, warming her cheeks. The unfamiliar shrill of nervousness ran down her spine, her belly erupting in expectation.  
The window was carelessly open, with dark curtains fluttering in the wind. Candles burned, forgotten, leaving a hazy scent of flowers to battle the new earthy musk that so uninvitedly affronted Lexa’s nose. 
"I keep forgetting how freaking tall this window is." Clarke, clad in full Azgeda gear, tumbled from the window high in the Polis tower. At the sweaty alpha dusting herself off the floor of her bedroom, Lexa raised one eyebrow. 
"What makes you think you’re welcomed here?"
"The two mean guards at the door who refused to let me in, of course." The big, contagious grin from two days ago had returned. Undeterred, Clarke kicked off her boots and walked to Heda’s bed. 
Lexa watched the confident woman plot unceremoniously next to her, her grin splitting her face in half. Her pale scars danced under the flickering candlelight. When Lexa took her sweet time simply staring at her, the grin turned to the beginning of a frown. 
"Am I not welcome?" Clarke sat on the bed, hands in the air. Her eyebrows knotted in uncertainty, and Lexa finally took pity. 
Lexa reassured her with a warm hand on her cheek. She felt the rigged lines on the tips of her fingers, multiple marks to attest to the warrior’s courage and bravery. A wet tongue met Lexa’s fingers, and she gasped at the touch.
Lexa’s cheeks burned. 
Before Clarke met her in a kiss, Lexa placed a firm hand on her chest. "Don’t pull that again in any other meetings. I do not want to give Titus any more reasons to want your head."
"It was harmless," Clarke defended. Lexa pushed her back again when another kiss was denied. Clarke huffed, her patience never having been a strong virtue.
"No one followed you?" Lexa insisted, clutching at a half-unbuttoned blouse.
"You know I am careful about that." 
"What about the Azgeda ambassador? Won’t she ask about who you’ve been with?"
"I trust Astrid with my life."
"Does she know?" 
"Lexa," Clarke tried, but the omega had turned to stand up from the bed. "We got our scars together. She would never tell."
"The Coalition will be in jeopardy if Nia discovers that her precious general shares my bed," Lexa said mostly to herself, ignoring Clarke's tired sigh. "You will be in danger," she finished with a whisper. 
Lexa had one hand on her chin and the other on her waist, planning different strategies around an irritable Nia to avoid any bloodspill. Clarke approached from behind and, with a little coaxing, wrapped her arms around Lexa so she could rest against her chest. 
"The Coalition is important to me too. I would never risk it," she said to Lexa’s hair, taking a deep breath of Heda. "But more than that, I would never jeopardize us."
Lexa wanted to believe her. She wanted to give herself to the alpha that called to her, to the scent that made her legs tremble and her heart flutter. She wanted to be free and to love Clarke.
So she did.
0000
It was always cold in the Ice Nation. Winter braved their lands earlier and was slow to leave. Close to the coughing fireplace inside the room destined for Heda, Lexa’s bones could not warm up under the unrelenting cold. The open window didn’t help, with the wind bringing bits of snow and invading her warm space. The loud wind and undeniable chill that ran through her spine told her of an upcoming storm. 
The Ice Nation was not welcoming in the least. 
She walked closer to the fire, adjusting the coat that covered most of her frame. One hand rested on the wall while the other, against her better judgment, rested on her lower belly, and she could not suppress a small smile. With her back to the open window, Lexa sighed when quiet feet padded into the bedroom. A smile cracked Lexa’s dry lips when a warm presence approached her from behind.
In the seconds that followed, the warming alpha pheromones that Lexa had expected never reached her nose. Instead, gut-clenching fear invaded her system as someone pushed her roughly against the freezing wall. A fighter held her knee immobilized and her left arm behind her back before Lexa could react. Her mouth opened to call for Anya, who guarded the hallway, but the smooth, chill touch of metal reached her neck, pressing just enough to tickle a line of dark blood. 
"Silence," a voice rasped against her ear, teeth gritting in disgust. 
Lexa cursed herself for not being prepared.
Those damn cold lands. 
The blade sank a breath deeper, and Lexa was ready to shove it back and die fighting, but as soon as it happened, the weight behind her vanished. A heavy grunt followed as the body was thrown haphazardly on the floor, and another alpha, now the familiar scent Lexa expected, jumped on top of the assassin’s body to push her own blade deep into a pulsing neck. Blood gurgled from a parted mouth once and twice until the body under Clarke stopped moving altogether.
Under the fire, the blood shone dark, and Lexa ran a hand over the shallow cut on her own throat. 
"I see you already had company." Clarke failed at her attempt at humor, with her eyes ablaze and her hands trembling. Lexa realized she shared her predicament when the warmth of Clarke's embrace enveloped her. They remained united in the silent room for an undefined moment, the fire suddenly loud as their hearts slowed down. 
A warm hand touched Lexa’s neck, gently, padding at the slow trickle of blood. 
"I’m fine," Lexa said with a peck on Clarke’s lip. "Who was this?" She pointed to the still body on the floor, and Clarke cursed under her breath.
"Doesn’t matter right now." She insisted on the pressure on Lexa’s wound, the blood slowing to a stop. "Are you alright?"
Lexa nodded, one hand resting on top of Clarke’s. "I didn’t come here only for the Coalition." The realization of why she was there came back in a warmth that started in her belly, dissolving the panic that the attempt on her life caused. "I needed to talk to you."
"You need to leave. You and your entourage. You’re not safe here." 
Before what happened that night, Lexa would argue. But the body of an assassin had barely been cold, and she knew she couldn’t find a reason to stay. Clarke’s eyes were dark under the flickering light of the fire, concern etched on every crease of her face. Lexa’s finger followed the scar that started on her eyebrow and outlined her face, dying on the tip of her chin. Clarke shuddered under her touch. 
"I’m sorry, my love, but you need to go." It was painful for Clarke to say that. She turned to kiss the tips of Lexa’s fingers. 
"Anya!" Clarke yelled from the bedroom, and Anya and another Azgeda guard appeared at the door. They both looked at the body on the ground and back at Clarke and Lexa. The guard’s blue eyes widened, and he bolted back to the hallway. 
"Don’t let him escape!" Clarke pointed, and Anya did not need to be told twice. 
Once again alone in the bedroom, Clarke clasped Lexa’s cold hands in hers. "Lexa, you need to go. There will be more." She pointed to the body on the floor with her chin, and Lexa gulped. "Azgeda is not stable right now."
Voices escalated in the hallway, with exalted barks of orders in a mix of trigedasleng and the clipped, guttural Azgeda language.
Clarity shone in Lexa’s eyes. "It's a coup," she breathed. 
Clarke nodded. "That’s why I insisted on you not coming," Clarke said in exasperation, her hands tightening around Lexa’s.
"I needed to talk to you, and letters were not safe," Lexa insisted. 
Quietly, Anya appeared at the door again. A splash of blood stained her cheek, but she did not seem to notice. 
"Heda, we are ready to leave," she said in trigedasleng, and Lexa nodded, but didn’t move. 
"Get my horse ready. I will follow." 
Anya seemed reluctant to leave her alone. She exchanged a small nod with Clarke before running back to the dark hallway. 
"You must follow her," Clarke finally turned around, but Lexa grabbed her hand.
"Clarke." Her voice trembled, and her stomach was in knots at being overwhelmed. She took a deep breath, and under the aggression, she found the calm scent she trusted. Steps reverberated from the corridor, and Clarke pushed them further into the room, her body protecting Lexa from whoever ran down the hall. Lexa’s hand closed on Clarke’s shirt, bringing the alpha’s attention back to her. "Clarke," she pleaded once more.
Clarke huffed a breath, exasperated. "I’m the general of the queen, and I’m leading a coup that might overthrow her, so you better have something very important to say or I—"
"I’m pregnant." 
"—will tie you to that horse, and... what?" 
Clarke’s eyes widened, showing she had understood what Lexa said, and her hands went to her shoulders. "What?" she repeated because there was nothing else she could do. Lexa looked down at her hands, which were still gripped tightly on the coarse material of Clarke’s coat. She couldn’t stare the alpha in the eye. 
"That’s what I needed to tell you," Lexa whispered. Clarke’s eyes searched her face, focusing on the fresh wound on her neck, down to her chest, and finally on her covered abdomen. 
"You sure?" Her voice changed, with a tone of reverence overtaking her earlier despair. Lexa found the courage to look up, finding dark blue eyes again and nodding. Not as far away as Clarke hoped, an explosion sounded in the royal Azgeda complex. A cacophony of voices and shouts cut through the night.
They were running out of time. 
Clarke embraced her lover, pulling her as close as she could, a desperate need to engrave the scent in her mind. When they pulled apart, Lexa did not comment on the coat of wetness on the alpha’s eyes. Clarke drew away with a final nod, a trembling hand over Lexa's covered tummy.
"Name her something soft," Clarke said when she looked up. "Soft but strong."
Lexa swallowed nothing as she nodded. Reluctantly, Clarke stepped back.
A bulking figure stopped at the door. Before Lexa could jump away, the tall man exchanged curt words with Clarke in the harsh way they spoke in their native language. Lexa didn't need to understand the language to understand war.
"You need to go," Clarke repeated with a firm hand on Lexa’s back. "Anya is waiting for you outside." With a single kiss to chapped lips, Lexa left the room where, minutes earlier, she had almost died.
Lexa, Anya, and Gustus made it a few miles away from the Azgeda palace before they heard new explosions. 
00000000000
A fortnight had passed since Lexa made it to Polis. The journey under the storm had made her feel sick, but she wasn’t sure if it was worry or the growing pup inside her. Other clans already knew of the battles happening in the Ice Nation, but no one knew who had emerged victorious. The Coalition had vowed to not intervene, and instead wait for the Azgeda leader, whoever that may be: a rebel general or the ice queen. 
It was late into the night when a knock on her quarters' door woke Lexa from a slumber. She had fallen asleep on her desk, reviewing letters from worried ambassadors. The knock repeated, and Lexa groaned, adjusting her shirt before ordering her guards to open the door. 
"Heda, a messenger has arrived." Noticing the urgency, the guard completed, "A messenger from Azgeda." 
Lexa nodded, stepping outside to make the trip to the main floor of the tower, where she met the messenger. When she arrived, with her sash and coat, she greeted the boy with a nod. Snow was still frozen on the pitiful attempt at a mustache on his red face. He couldn’t have more than fourteen summers, but his warrior scars were long healed. 
"A message for Heda Lexa." He took a respectful bow, even though his legs shook in exhaustion. "For Heda’s hand only," he insisted, a folded piece of paper in his hands. 
Lexa took the paper and ordered her guards, "Find him something warm to eat and a place to rest." 
Before the redheaded boy could leave, he bowed once more to Lexa. "A message, Heda, from King Roan." 
Lexa’s heart fluttered at the news. Her eyes remained calm, and she nodded at the boy. 
King Roan.
Not Queen Nia.
She smiled.
0000000
Winter's deep, cold claws were receding from Polis, and the first flowers bravely emerged from the warming soil. With another treaty season on the horizon, new Council meetings loomed, and ambassadors and their representatives filled Polis with different colors and products. The market was as alive as ever, with pups running around among the new scents. 
Black consumed the sky in the late winter night. Lexa shuffled in bed, sleep a hard commodity as her body adjusted to the changes. The wind agitated the curtains, and there was a quiet grunt as a body rolled from the window without a single ounce of grace.
Lexa smiled into her furs.
"Bloody hell, this tower is so high." The woman inhaled deeply from the ground, her arms spread wide across the wooden floor. "Why do you stay on the top floor again?"
"It’s not the top floor."
Clarke made her way from the floor to the bed, and they both sighed in relief as they met in a long-awaited hug. Lexa melted against the arms around her.
"I missed you," Clarke whispered over the intricate braids, nudging the soft skin behind Lexa’s ear. 
"I wasn’t sure if you would make it. Ambassador." She turned to meet Clarke’s eyes, both their hands resting instinctively over Lexa’s belly. Clarke stared between them in awe. 
"You’ve grown."
"Measure your words." 
"I missed you."
"Please use the door next time."

You're All I Have - Eligius IV!Levitt on Bardo! (Rated T) [Levitt & OC]
Summary: "It was nights when the sky was dark and the moon shone full that Levitt liked the best. He, Jerom and Lupe would climb up to the roof of Jerom’s apartment building and howl at the moon like wolves. Fitting, as both Lupe and Levitt’s name meant wolf. With their matching dark brown hair and eyes, it was like they were perfect grey wolves in the night. Jerom’s blond hair and blue eyes didn’t really fit with the wolf vibe, but he was an honorary member. They made their own pack and Levitt wouldn’t change it for the world."
