Those of you who follow my shenanigans regularly already know that I hit one million words on ao3 last night. Today, I’m kicking off my celebration by highlighting every single one of those one million words as I shamelessly self promote all 24 works that got me to this number.
Matched
“If this ends badly, I blame you.”
“I got you onto one of the most popular dating shows on TV where they basically guarantee that they’ll find your soulmate. If this ends badly, it’s on you, sweetheart,” her mom snapped back with a smile.
Reality Show AU where everyone has a perfect match in the house and if everyone finds their perfect match by the end, they win one million dollars.
Rated: M | Chapters: 18/18 | Words: 78,309
Mismatched
“This has to be some kind of mistake,” Clarke whispered, knowing what happens if you’re a perfect match on this show. They were going to have to pack up and move into the honeymoon suite… together. She would have to spend eight weeks trapped in a hotel room with Bellamy.
“We hate each other,” Bellamy whispered, not taking his eyes off the screen, as his face was covered in disbelief.
An alternative version of Matched where Bellamy and Clarke find out they’re a perfect match toward the beginning of the competition.

Medici Magic
“Are we really going to do this again this summer?”
“Are you referring to me giving you legitimate critiques and you not being able to handle it correctly? Because if so, I really hope not. I would have hoped that we had evolved past that kind of pettiness,” he joked.
Renaissance Fair AU where our favorite delinquents spend their summer working for Medici Magic, a traveling renaissance fair.
Rated: E | Chapters: 33/33 | Words: 90,249

And she wondered if she was going to die on this lifeboat.
Deserted Island AU where deadly storms and dangerous wildlife were the least of their problems.
Rated: E | Chapters: 20/20 | Words: 91,319
I’m Gonna Leave You Anyway
“Why did you come over here?”
“To make sure, you know, that you know last night was just a one-time thing,” he said, looking down at his hands as he spoke.
“Message received. You can go back to your friends now,” she said, with a strange expression on her face.
Modern AU inspired by the show You’re the Worst, where Bellamy and Clarke hook up after a wedding.
Rated: E | Chapters: 11/11 | Words: 65,537
I’m Gonna Watch You Walk Away
She forgot about the fact that a man she loved just married someone else. She forgot that almost all her friends abandoned her as soon as she became known as the other woman. She forgot that people already judged her without ever meeting her. She forgot that she was in a place in life where she had to go to weddings all alone. And she willfully ignored the fact that it was becoming harder and harder for her to just hook up with someone to forget these things.
Because, as soon as it was over, all those horrible thoughts started drowning Clarke’s brain again.
Modern AU inspired by the show You’re the Worst, where Bellamy and Clarke hook up after wedding. Same story line from I’m Gonna Leave You Anyway, but this time from Clarke’s POV.

We Can Do Better Than This
“And if we couldn’t find an apartment, maybe we could look at a house. You know, then Cleo could have a backyard,” Bellamy replied.
“A house?” Clarke asked, and Bellamy glanced back down at her, seeing a nervous expression on her face. He immediately recognized his mistake.
A follow up to I’m Gonna Leave You Anyway, where Bellamy and Clarke buy their first house.
Rated: T | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 4,881
I’m Gonna Love You Anyway
“You were a one-night stand.”
“You and I bought a house together, Clarke. If I was supposed to be a one-night stand, you really messed that one up,” he teased, before leaning down to kiss her forehead.
She giggled, before resting her head on his shoulder. It was kind of crazy to think about the day they met. It was weird, thinking that if she had gotten what she wanted back then, she would have hooked up with him once and never seen him again. She was really glad she didn’t get what she wanted. Instead, she got what she needed.
A follow up to I’m Gonna Leave You Anyway, where Bellamy is trying to propose to Clarke, but she’s too busy roasting him to notice.
Rated: T | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 6,595
No Longer Just Us
“Princess, Octavia and Lincoln are here,” he announced.
“Why?” she grumbled, and Bellamy threw his head back. Of course, Clarke forgot. This had become an all too common occurrence these days.
“We are wine tasting for the wedding, remember?” Bellamy reminded her, and Clarke sat up with a grumpy expression on her face, her hair messy from bedhead. She had come home from work two hours ago, a bit sleep deprived since one of her patients went into labor in the middle of the night. She immediately went upstairs to take a nap, after Bellamy reminded her for the hundredth time that Lincoln and Octavia were coming over.
“I already took my bra off,” she whined, throwing her head back.
Another follow up to I’m Gonna Leave You Anyway where Bellamy and Clarke are completely over the wedding planning nonsense and get very drunk.
Rated: T | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 2,855
Double Infinity
They were running out of time. Eighteen years had already passed. All the pieces they needed to get the job done were finally in place. And, when Wells didn’t fit, they found Clarke. He was too close to let it all fall apart now.
And he would do everything he could to make sure she walked out of this unscathed.
Modern AU inspired by Revenge, where Bellamy and Octavia are willing to do whatever it takes to find justice for their mother’s murder, even if it means using Clarke Griffin.
Rated: E | Chapters: 23/23 | Words: 142,705
Hidden Infinity
"You played me too, Clarke,” Bellamy snapped, and she didn’t hesitate to slap him across the face. He gripped her wrist tightly, shooting her a warning look… practically daring her to try that again. “You knew what I was doing, and instead of confronting me, you let me think I was succeeding. When I said I loved you, you said it back. When I proposed, you said yes. You had an active part in all of this,” he growled as if somehow what Clarke did to him could ever compare to what he did to her.
“But you played me first,” Clarke yelled, pushing him back. Bellamy lied to her first. Bellamy used her first. Clarke didn’t start this, but she was determined to finish it.
Double Infinity, but from Clarke’s POV. A Modern AU inspired by Revenge, where Clarke Griffin swore that she would stay out of the plan to avenge Mt. Weather, but got dragged into it anyway.
Rated: E | Chapters: 11/23 | Words: 58,914
Something Always Survives
Bellamy had been trapped in this place for over two years. He can’t even count how many cellmates he lost over that time, how many times he had to meet a new voice from a person he would never see… And, almost every time, he found himself telling them a story to help calm them down, to reassure them that everything was going to be okay, even when he knew it would never be okay. Clarke had been no different than the others until this moment.
She was the first one to ever try to comfort him in return. So, he whispered, “Okay,” and pressed his ear to the corner.
Modern AU loosely inspired by The OA where Clarke finds herself abducted and caged with four strangers as they all struggle to make sense of their captor’s experiments.
Rated: E | Chapters: 18/18 | Words: 74,232
50 First Proposals
“Tell her we got engaged just so we could get some cheesecake,” he smirked, and accepting the challenge, Clarke pulled out her phone and started typing away.
After that night, it just became a thing they did. Every month or so… really, whenever both of their crazy lives let them grab dinner between shifts, they would go to a new restaurant and Bellamy would fake propose. He got a little more carried away each time. Their fake proposals became an opportunity for Bellamy to unleash some of his most pent up affections for Clarke… an opportunity he desperately needed.
OR the forty-nine times Bellamy proposed to Clarke to get free dessert and the one time he didn’t care about the dessert.
Rated: T | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 2,723
Will You Tie My Shoe?
“I know, it’s silly. And I never thought I’d actually see you again, or that Madi would recognize you. She’s also convinced that she is some kind of matchmaker because she set my friends Raven and Wells up,” she rambled, looking at him with an embarrassed expression on his face.
“Is your daughter some kind of matchmaker?” he teased, and Clarke bit her lip, chuckling slightly. He liked the way her smile kept escaping even though she was trying to play it cool.
“Well, unless you fall madly in love with me, she only has a 50% success rate,” she joked, and Bellamy threw his head back in laughter.
OR the one where Madi decides to play matchmaker, and Bellamy and Clarke are totally fine with the results.
Rated: G | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 3,905
Sometimes Lightning Strikes Twice
It was ridiculous. He didn’t even know this girl’s name. All he knew was that she was pretty, that she was trying her best to be a good sport about being here probably just so her friends had fun, and that she was maybe a little bit shy. Well, and he also knew that every time she looked at him he got flustered and repeatedly messed up the blocking.
It was official. Bellamy Blake, part-time stripper and full-time overthinker, developed a crush on some blonde bride.
OR the Strip Club AU no one asked for, where Bellamy meets Clarke Griffin while working her bachelorette party, and the poor guy doesn’t have the first clue about what to do about it.
Rated: M | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 2,557
Sounds Fake But Okay
“Babe, don’t be jealous,” Clarke teased, reaching her hand out. Murphy grabbed it and started swinging it as he laughed.
“Can’t help it, babe. Just love you so much,” Murphy said, still chuckling.
“You two better be able to keep a straight face when Ontari gets here, or else all of us suffered through this for nothing,” Bellamy reminded, and Clarke erupted into laughter, burying her face into Bellamy’s shoulder.
OR the fake dating fic no one asked for, where Murphy pretends to be dating Clarke, and Bellamy is fine with it. Totally fine. Does not care at all. Maybe.
Rated: T | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 4,766
Fatal Innocence
“I’ll be fine,” she muttered, shaking her head as she opened the front door. And, there the body was, right where it fell. The others rushed in behind her. Raven took the trophy toward the kitchen, probably to wash it off. Monty and Bellamy moved toward the body, and she could see that Bellamy was thinking about using the rug to wrap him up in.
There was no way in hell that all five of them were going to get away with this.
The How to Get Away with Murder AU where they all become interns for Professor Kane, not expecting their semester to take such a deadly turn.

Don’t Marry Him
Bellamy tried to be as supportive of a friend as he could be, reserving his own frustrations toward Finn for when he, Murphy, and Miller went out for drinks. Usually, those evenings divulged into Murphy pointing out that Finn probably isn’t as bad as Bellamy makes him out to be. Then, Bellamy would break down item by item every terrible thing he has said or done to hurt Clarke. To which, Miller would always tease him… saying that it was strange that Bellamy could list all that off so readily when Clarke was just his best friend.
Bellamy knew what they were implying, of course. And it was to the point that Bellamy stopped trying to deny it. It wouldn’t do him any good to deny it, anyway. Everyone knew how Bellamy felt. Well, everyone except Clarke, apparently.
Modern AU where Clarke was hoping that Bellamy would be excited about her engagement, and instead, he begs her not to marry Finn.
Rated: T | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 5,291
Forget Me Not
“Am I Clarke?” Clarke asked, and Bellamy’s fear was confirmed. Clarke didn’t remember them. She didn’t recognize any of them, not even Madi. She didn’t even know that she was Clarke. He could feel Madi tugging nervously on his sleeve, and he turned to look at her scared face.
“It’s called amnesia,” Bellamy whispered, and Madi’s head tilted in confusion. “Sometimes when people hit their head really hard they lose their memories.”
Post Season Four reunion fic where Bellamy finally finds Clarke… but she doesn’t remember who he is.
Rated: T | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 8,684
Off Guard
“You have to figure out your opponent’s weakness if you want to beat them,” he added in, and Clarke cocked her head to the side. He could see the gears turning in that head of hers as she stepped toward him. “Unfortunately for you, I have no weaknesses,” he joked, and a giggle escaped her lips.
“So, there is absolutely nothing I can do that would catch you off guard?” she asked curiously, and Bellamy cocked his head to the side… trying to figure out what was going through Clarke’s head.
“You are more than welcome to try,” he chuckled, earning a smirk from Clarke.
Royalty AU where Bellamy tries to teach Clarke how to use a sword, and she finds her own sneaky way to beat him.
Rated: G | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 2,548
Whisper Your Love and I’ll Whisper Mine
“I am not happy about this either, by the way,” he sighed, recalling the horrified look on her face when she realized what the Commander was proposing. Bellamy had never planned on getting married. Octavia was enough of a responsibility. But when he debated the idea of marriage, he certainly never pictured his future fiancée would have such a disgusted reaction. Nor did he ever picture himself marrying a child of his family’s sworn enemy.
Clarke glanced up at him, wiping away a few tears. “We should have never let them marry,” was all she said, and the guilt formed a knot in Bellamy’s stomach.
A historical AU inspired by Still Star-Crossed where Bellamy and Clarke are forced into an arranged marriage in an attempt keep their families from going to war.
Rated: E | Chapters: 8/8 | Words: 47,895
Listen to Your Heart
His lips lingered against her skin for just a moment too long, and Clarke noticed that his hug was even tighter than it normally was. She kept reminding herself that this was the Olympics… and that’s all this meant for him, although she could no longer deny that her feelings toward Bellamy were strictly platonic.
“So damn proud of you, Princess,” Bellamy said seriously, his hand still resting on her back as he spoke. Before Clarke could say anything else, Kane was pulling her into a hug and whispering his congratulations.
Olympics AU where Clarke realizes that her feelings for Bellamy might be less than platonic… which is a problem since he’s her coach.
Rated: T | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 8,609
Love Is Not a Victory March
“You could have been here four years ago,” she reminded, raising her eyebrows at him.
“No, I couldn’t have. I needed to be here with you,” he replied, and Clarke felt like the breath had been knocked out of her. It wasn’t the first time he said something like that, of course. But it caught her off guard every damn time.
“Was it worth the wait?”
“Yes, you were,” he replied, and how could Clarke not kiss him after that?
Olympics AU where a knee injury kept Bellamy and Clarke from making it to the Olympics… the first time around.
Rated: T | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 9,214
Lie to Me
Long before he met Gina, he decided that this name didn’t mean anything. That he had a choice in this, and that he would likely choose to ignore the universe’s choice for him. After all, there were many people who went their whole happy lives without finding the person whose name showed up when they turned eighteen.
He kept his eyes on his watch, counting down the seconds until it would appear. As soon as both hands hit twelve, he flipped his wrist over. But he wasn’t lucky enough to get some stranger’s name. He knew exactly who his soulmate was.
If Bellamy needed any more evidence that soulmates were bullshit, it was right there in front of him.
Soulmate AU where Bellamy finds out Clarke is his soulmate and doesn’t tell her.
Rated: T | Chapters: 1/1 | Words: 13,880
