#clexa oneshot

[butmakeitgayblog]

Seeng videos of ADC up close and it got me thinking. Clarke be kissin and suckin on that lip freckle all the damn time

Every time I see Alycia barefaced I always think of canon and Clarke pecking tiny kisses all over the lil sprays of freckles that pepper her nose and cheekies 🥹

Fierce warlord and commander of the blood Lexa blushing like an idiot, failing to hold in her smiles as Clarke straddles her and cups her pretty face. Scrunching her nose against the onslaught of Clarke's butterfly kisses across her face like she's some young gona being doted on. I think that would've been so precious and healing for Lexa even if she'd absolutely pretend to dismiss it with a huffed, "KlarK."

Haha oops made myself hysterical gonna go cry now

[bottom-lexa]

Do yall think I should write the first chapter or like a little teaser for the pop star x pro athlete au for Wanheda’s Dagger week 🤔

@clextober22 - Day 22: Nightmares

Ꝋ𐌅 𐌃𐌓𐌄𐌀𐌌𐌔 𐌀𐌍𐌃 𐌃𐌀𐌓𐌊𐌍𐌄𐌔𐌔

Summary:

Lexa Woods is a happy woman. She has a job that she enjoys, is in love with the most amazing woman, and is on her way to making new partners in her business. A perfect life if one could say. However, when the night comes, dreams of darkness plague her. An imposing tower looms over her and she feels haunted. As if death itself was knocking on her door. Lexa doesn’t understand what’s the meaning of it. Maybe she shouldn’t worry at, it’s almost Halloween and she must be influenced by it. After all, it’s just a nightmare, is it not?

Thanks  @kpforpresident for your help!

20 questions for writers

thank you @triggerlil for the tag!! <3 i'm so late omg but this was FUN, first tag game i've done that's more author than writing snippet/drabble related :-)

tagging @air-exec, @counting0nit, @don-humes-tiny-shorts, @eternallytired17, @hauntingcontradiction

@nicijones, @bucking-mustangs-with-wings, @swifty-fox, @mangokittokatsu, anyone else who wants to! i love reading tag games like these, it's nice to learn more about the ppl behind all the brainrot :')

questions & answers below the cut! x

how many works do you have on ao3?

12!

what's your total ao3 word count? 50,182 wtf i only made my ao3 in january lol

what fandoms do you write for?

i've written for lotssss over the past decade, but my current ao3 is just saltburn and masters of the air fics :-) for the sake of this tag i'm just gonna stick to my mota fics in my answers tho since yk. mota blog lol

top 5 fics by kudos?

i don't wanna be alone tonight – buckbucky breathe me in (exhale slow) – buckbucky you're a dog (i'm your man) – buckbucky you put your arms around me (and i'm home) – buckbucky four–by–four – buckbucky

do you respond to comments?

every single one <33 i take a long while sometimes because i get too lost in the actual writing or i get overwhelmed by the kindness lol but i always always respond eventually :')

what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

definitely i see you in the daytime (i hear you at night), my first fic for masters of the air actually that spawned as a way to vent my feelings after the dreaded third episode lmaoo </3 thought that would get those boys out of my system, and i couldn't be happier to have been more wrong <3

what is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

ruh roh this kinda made me realize all my fics have some sorta melancholy/bittersweet ending even when they're hopeful... yad(iym) is gonna fix me fr (i think). but i guess the fuse to my fire since curt lives and the three of them are curtbuckbuckying indefinitely <3

do you get hate on fics?

i have in past fandoms but not here thankfully bc i am sensitive LOL. i've had weirdo anons that bitch about john bottoming (and i don't think those people realize it makes me inclined to write even more sub and/or bottom john to be petty SJGDK) but i wouldn't consider that hate, just bad fandom etiquette ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

do you write smut?

YEAHHH BABY <3 that's like. 99% of my drabbles/brainrot posts here and it takes serious self control to not just constantly write pwp oneshots, it's too much fun!! finding the balance in my chaptered fic for how much nsfw is too much is such a journey too lol, i wanna cram a spicy scene into every chapter but the part of me that adores slowburn over any other trope reins the gay brain in </3

craziest crossover?

haven't written any as of yet, but i do have my leaving!bikeriders au that i'm hoping to turn into a chaptered fic this summer, and that's exactly what it sounds like– buckbucky, but yank parts of callum's character from the leaving series and parts of austin's character from the bikeriders to create a buckbucky modern au. :-)

have you ever had a fic stolen?

i'm sure back in the wattpad days of the early '10s lol but none that i specifically remember!

have you ever had a fic translated?

in past fandoms!

have you ever co-written a fic before?

perhaps @curtsbigspoon and i cooked up like. 15k words of buckbucky thigh fucking etc months ago that i just need to get around to cutting down/editing >:-)

all time favorite ship?

i mean for me it's always a ship from whatever media i'm fixating on, so right now any variations of curtbuckbucky and cattonquick are everything to me <3 but in terms of ships that'll always have my heart, i can't ever let go of drarry, pricefield, clexa/murphamy, sciles/sterek– any from media i consumed during formative teenage years lol. but i will say i have never created anywhere near as much content for any other fandom as i have for mota :')

what's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

for once i actually have none that i see myself abandoning! i would notoriously abandon wips in past fandoms and probably would still, but guess who finally got on adhd meds last month after years of waiting? this guyyyy. i can start projects... and enjoy them the whole way through... and not get frustrated and trash them... who am i

i mean tbf i have at least a dozen wips that i've gotten either a few paras or few thousand words into lol but then a new shiny idea grabs my attention, but i do think i'll end up finishing most if not all of them off eventually! once i've invested enough time/words into a wip, i feel way more motivated to finish it so i'm not 'wasting' my efforts.

what are your writing strengths?

i feel most confident when i'm writing dialogue over anything else. writing conversation–heavy scenes or just straight up porn is when i overthink the least lmaoo

what are your writing weaknesses?

oh god, definitely having to spell out what's going on in a character's mind. like, i know what they're thinking as i'm writing out scenes; i can feel their emotions and all. i just have such a hard time putting it into words in a way that doesn't feel too obvious/overstated, if that makes sense. i very much prefer to show rather than tell their emotions, but sometimes it's hard to get that right, and i agonize over solo scenes the most, when i can't show what a character is feeling by way of verbal conversation with another character.

thoughts on dialogue in another language?

no specific opinion! sometimes it's cool to read/write, mostly i don't really have an opinion one way or another :-)

first fandom you wrote in?

lmfaooo i'm pretty sure it was either for olddd youtube ships or frerard ngl. not sure which came first bc i wrote so much at once

favorite fic you've written?

you're a dog (i'm your man) has been such a labour of love for me because i care so much about doing it justice :') so maybe that one, but if unfinished fics don't count, i actually wrote breathe me in (exhale slow) in one rushed four–ish hour sitting and was kinda neutral on it until i got a completely unexpected burst of kind and beautifully worded responses, and then i felt a tiny bit proud <3

[toriwritesstories]

No one tagged me in one of these but I saw the questions and wanted to participate hehe

20 Questions for Fic Writers

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

53 total, technically 1 of those is under a different pseud because it's the only fic I ported from FF.net onto Ao3 and I used my FF username as the pseud for that reason.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 

Just checked and apparently it is 2,416,967 .... sooo that's totally normal right?!?!!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I struggle to write for more than 1 fandom at a time so right now I'm pretty much only writing Shadowzel from BG3.

BUT the others I've written for are, in order of recency:

Hosie from Legacies

Deanoru from The Runaways

Choni from Riverdale

Clexa from The 100

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? 

Pretty sure that they're all going to be Clexa but lemme go pull the list...

1) Pristine (Clexa)

2) Come With Me (Clexa)

3) Lift Me, Catch Me (Clexa)

4) Still Made of Gold (Clexa)

5) Online Lifeline (Clexa)

Yep, no surprises there. But actually my 6th is Choni: She Didn't Know It Then but seems like my older fics from the fandom that was probably the biggest I've been in have the most kudos, makes sense to me hehe!

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to respond to as many comments as I can while I'm posting. Unless I feel the urgent need to respond to a comment, I only respond when I'm at my desk about to update. So I don't usually respond once a fic is finished unless the comment really compels me to. This is simply a time and effort kinda situation, I read them in my email and they always make my day, and I'm always happy to respond on social media if anyone ever wants to chat about any of my fics!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

The angstiest ending?! Uhhh I'm a happy ending girlie. I guess technically it's probably one of my Hosie oneshots in my A World Where I Was Yours series, just because it's my version of post canon of Legacies!

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

There are too many happy endings in my fics for me to decide aaahhhh. Ummmm. Maybe it's hard to breathe (when you're in the air) which is one of my favorite Hosie fics that I wrote?? but idk seriously they're all happy endings in terms of the pairing so it comes down to which characters in which fics had the happiest overall life situation and there are too many to think about it lol!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've gotten negative comments for sure but I dunno if I'd call it hate exactly. The negative comment that I remember the most was on a Choni fic and they complained that the characters were too OOC, and it was nooooot done constructively at all and someone else (possibly same person different guest user) piled on even more rudely... so that wasn't fun (and also yeah all my characters are kinda OOC because that's what happens when you write AU?)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes, yes I do. I feel like it's fairly vanilla. I used to mark everything rated M before I was informed that perhaps I've been writing E smut without realizing it lmao. So now I rate new fics with smut as E.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I haven't ever posted any crossovers, but I did start one that was a Legacies/The Runaways crossover because of an idea that seriously amused me, but once I wrote the premise I got bored and stopped lol.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not a whole fic but back in my FF days someone took a Halloween Party chapter (wow I write those a lot actually, I'm not even a Halloween party girlie) and used it as a flashback on their Wattpad fic and someone kindly let me know and I had to message them to take it down.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? 

Yes! I had a few fics back on FF.net that were translated into French :) but the deal was that I wanted to post them because I wasn't comfy with someone else doing the posting of my ideas. And now I typically turn down offers of translation just because I'm less comfy with it now then I was when I was younger.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? 

I haven't, but I'd be open to doing so if it was for an idea I felt like me and the other author(s) were really vibing with!

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship? 

Impossible question. Whichever ship I'm currently obsessing over is my all-time favorite. Which would be Shadowzel rn. But probably in a few years I'll feel differently lol. I strongly feel that all the ships I've ever shipped are the best ever and I cannot choose a favorite.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Sooo many. I have a ton of Choni WIPs that I never finished, including one that got to like 20-30k words but just sits all dusty in its word folder. I once started a Part 3 to my Clexa travel fic (Come With Me linked earlier) that I couldn't get into but the vision was soooo cute. I also started a Part 3 to my Choni travel fic which also had a great vision but I'm just not as into Choni anymore so it feels hard to go back to now.

16. What are your writing strengths? 

I think I'm good at dialogue and characterization, those are my favorite parts of my own writing at least!

17. What are your writing weaknesses? 

Dude. I apparently cannot get enough of adverbs. I have to prune so many when I'm editing fics. Ugh. And I have some repetitive phrases that I also end up having to prune out.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? 

I've done it before with google translate and made modifications when people who spoke those languages corrected me haha. But it's not something I do often just because it hasn't really been super relevant to most of what I write.

19. First fandom you wrote for? 

Glee. It was Glee. I was 13. We don't need to talk about it.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? 

My favorite?!!? It's always my latest fic, I pretty much always feel like the latest thing I'm working on is the best and so it's my favorite right now for sure. And that would be Reignited (Shadowzel).

Anyone who sees this and wants to participate, feel free to copy the questions, I know this is a tagging game but I don't do that kind of thing, I just saw these questions in another post and felt like talking about my fanfic lmfao.

[crazywolf828]

🍆 What's your most popular nsfw fic?

Okay this has a couple answers cause like, To Hurt and Heal is my most popular fic with smut in it (though it's not specifically about the smut).

I Don't Want Your Kiss (I Want Your Bite) is my most popular smut but only cause it's multichapter and also a hate sex au so there's like a lot of fucking in it.

But! If we're going strictly by oneshots that are just smut, no plot, it's actually a tie between my bee fic Caught In The Snow and my Clexa fic New Beginnings!

I dunno which one you meant however I'm shamelessly plugging them all :)

[clexa-bones]

NEW SERIES // CLEXA BONESVERSE ONESHOTS

psssst... new bones content just dropped!

[lesbiwlw]

so, part 2 of the clexa stepmother AU is actually in advanced stages, I was actually planning on posting it as a oneshot, just like the one on Lexa's POV, but it was getting way too long so I decided to split it in two and post the first part that was already done.

I might still re-read the first part and maybe change little things or add some finishing touches to the already posted story, but nothing too drastic.

I'll try to keep you guys updated through here.

[kpforpresident]

7, 22 and 38

7. What is your deepest joy about writing?

The re-connection with a creative outlet that brings me a lot of happiness, ability to dream and create scenarios and worlds and little corners of life for my favourite characters to reside in. And to my continued amazement, other people like as well and actually look forward to reading?! Insane. Blows my mind and makes me feel all warm and glowy inside. And meeting so many cool people on all corners of this little fandom and connecting with them.

22. How organized are you with your writing? Describe to me your organization method, if it exists. What tools do you use? Notebooks? Binders? Apps? The Cloud?

Currently I have a very disorganized little clump at the bottom of CYFMH that is just a semblance of chapter outlines, quotes I like, and things I want to write as the epilogue and beyond when it's done. I cringe slightly when I look at it. I also have a google doc full of ideas that are just little snippets of ideas/scenes I want to write, movies etc that I desperately want to Clexa-fy.

38. What is something about your writing process YOU think is Really Weird? If you are comfortable, please share. If you’re not comfortable, what do you think cats say about us?

I don't know if there's anything really weird that I do, but one think I can think of is that I obsessively look for a playlist to match my mood/the oneshot or fic that I'm writing before I can settle into it. When I wrote we were born sick I listened to a Spotify playlist called "sinning in church" for like 3 hours as I wrote. 💀

[lon3lynation]

Day 1: Forbidden Love (Detective/Criminal)

Read Here Or On AO3

Lexa groans in pain as she rests against the wall of the vacant warehouse.

"Shooting me in the shoulder was a bit excessive, don't you think?" She clutches her wounded arm to her side.

Clarke scoffs as she closes in with her gun, aiming at the killer that's become her much sought out nemesis over the years.

"You had a gun pointed at me."

Lexa gestures to the gun that fell from her hand a foot away from where she currently sits.

"I've held you at weapons point several times before. I wouldn't have shot you," she protests, feeling quite insulted by the assumption.

Clarke tries to hide the sudden awareness of guilt as she holsters her gun away and squats warily beside Lexa.

"Let me stop the bleeding."

"Now she wants to undo her offense," Lexa grouches. "You should have thought --"  she hisses at the rude interruption of Clarke prodding at her shoulder.

"Shut up. It appears the bullet went through. Keep pressure on it. I need to find something to tie it off."

Clarke guides Lexa's hand to apply pressure to slow the bleeding. Surprisingly, Lexa only grunts in response.

Glancing around the abandoned building, Clarke knew it was a lost cause to find anything clean and usable. She looks back to Lexa and quickly comes to a solution.

Reaching down to the criminal's dark tank top with her hands, the detective rips a long enough piece to use. She quickly fastens it around the shoulder wound and ties it off tightly.

"That should do it. You'll live," Clarke sighs with relief as she let her hands fall away from the makeshift bandage.

It finally occurs to her that Lexa has been unnervingly silent throughout the process. Clarke allows herself to glance at her nemesis' face and swallows at what she finds.

Lexa features have softened to allow her affection for Clarke to shine through. Her eyes roam over Clarke almost greedily so.

It was overwhelming how much yearning Clarke was suddenly witnessing. It wasn't a new revelation to her as Lexa usually didn't hide her feelings from her whenever they met. It scares Clarke each time because she knew she was close to matching that yearning with her own for Lexa.

Lexa finally breaks the comfortable silence between them.

"When is your backup supposed to arrive?"

Clarke slightly shakes her head.

"I haven't called for them yet."

Lexa hums happily after hearing that. Clarke didn't have to look to know there was a smug smile on that face.

"Interesting." Lexa slowly reaches down to her stomach and caresses the top of Clarke's hand. "We have some time, then."

Clarke was busy feeling betrayed by her hand, not noticing it had settled on the exposed skin of Lexa's stomach. She doesn't remove it and lets Lexa lay her hand over it.

Lexa licks her lips and guides the hand higher on her stomach until it reaches right under her breast.

Clarke shakes at the flexing muscles beneath her palm.

"Come here, Clarke," Lexa urges.

Clarke follows the slight tug on her wrist and finds herself settling on the brunette's lap.

Suddenly, it was hard to breathe.

"Clarke. Clarke, listen to me. Breathe. Don't overthink this. Just breathe. In and out."

Lexa reluctantly removes her hand from Clarke's to grab the other one and place it on her sternum.

"Feel that? Breathe with me. It's alright."

Clarke was squeezing her eyes shut, but she listened and found herself calming down. Soon she found herself slumping into Lexa's body, her forehead resting against her neck.

"This is crazy. We're both insane." Clarke chuckles.

"Maybe, but I think it suits us."

Lexa shrugs her uninjured shoulder before moving her hand again to loosen and remove the band that held Clarke's hair in a bun. Soon her fingers thread through the locks to untangle any knots. She liked it when it was down.

Clarke felt herself relaxing even more. It should frighten her how well Lexa seemed to know her and how to calm her down.

"Will you look at me now?"

Lexa bites her lip when Clarke eventually lifts her head and let their eyes meet again.

"I shouldn't want this. I should be arresting you."

"It's okay to want. No matter how taboo. Just..." Lexa trails off, tightening her grip on blonde locks. "Be here, Clarke. Be here with me. Let yourself feel. Forget everything else for a while."

Lexa stares imploringly at Clarke, hoping that the fight would leave her just for this moment. When Clarke finally lowers her head to meet her lips, she grins victoriously into the kiss.

It starts soft and searching before they both find themselves surging into the kiss. Clarke whimpers, letting herself freefall into what Lexa made her feel. It was dangerous and intoxicating,

Lexa bites and licks before groaning when their tongues glide together. Her hand leaves Clarke's head to grasp at the hand she left just under her breast.

Clarke gasps at the reminder and instantly let her hands roam beneath Lexa's torn shirt. One slides under the bra to cup a breast while the other scratches over subtle abs.

Lexa moans pleasingly before leaving Clarke's hands to their work to grab ahold of the blonde's ass. She pulls Clarke more into her, pulling another gasp out of the woman.

Clarke breathes heavily but doesn't dare stop kissing Lexa just yet. Sucking on the other woman's bottom lip, she adjusts her position to grind on the thigh beneath her.

"Use me, Clarke. Grind away." Lexa pants as she encourages the movement with her hand. She wished she could be using both hands, but she would make due.

Clarke groans and begins griding against the offered thigh as the pleasure increases. She wanted nothing more than for them to be naked, but it was not the time nor place.

Lexa pulls back from the aggressive kiss, needing to regain her breath but found it difficult as Clarke set on attacking her neck. She throws her head back, barely noticing how it thudded against the concrete wall, to give more access.

Clarke licks up Lexa's throat, sucking kisses and bites along the skin.

"That's it. Mark me. I'm yours,' Lexa sighs, smiling softly at the ceiling as she clenched tighter onto one of Clarke's butt cheeks.

"Lexa," Clarke moans at the grip, rocking harder and faster, feeling the nails digging in. Only her jeans were preventing them from leaving bloody crescents into her skin.  "Fuck."

Lexa rocks her thigh up, keeping with the fast pace Clarke was setting and admiring the lack of restraint the detective was showing.

After a particularly hard bite that had Lexa hissing in response, Clarke drew back to recapture Lexa's lips. She was getting closer.

Sensing this, Lexa forces her hand away from its spot on Clarke's behind to sneak up Clarke's top and bra to circle her fingers around her nipple.

"Good decision forgoing the bulletproof vest. It would have made this harder for me," Lexa murmurs after pulling out of the kiss to get her turn of tasting Clarke's neck.

Later on, Clarke would wonder how the hell Lexa knew that she was told to wear one earlier and chose not to because some small part of her knew Lexa wouldn't harm her.

"Yes," Clarke shudders at the onslaught of touches. "Keep doing that. Pinch my nipples."

Clarke shows Lexa what she wants by pinching and tugging on Lexa's nipples, making the girl jerk beneath her. It was a delicious feeling to get such reactions out of a cold-blooded killer.

Lexa nibbles on Clarke's throat, leaving bruises in her wake. She knew others would not see them later on because Clarke will cover them up, but it was enough to know they will serve as a reminder of their time to Clarke. It will not be something that Clarke will force herself to forget. She'll make sure of it.

Pinching roughly at the nipples Lexa wishes that were not hiding beneath clothes, she closes her eyes to take in every sound, movement, and emotions waring inside her.

"Come for me, Clarke," Lexa demands, and Clarke does beautifully.

Lexa sits back to observe as Clarke falls over the edge, twitching on her lap and circling her hips to drag it out as long as she could.

Lexa loves her.

A few minutes later, Clarke finds herself snuggling against Lexa's chest, feeling safe and satisfied. Lexa's hand was rubbing back and forth across her slumped back.

"Next time, the clothes have got to go. I want to see and feel every bare inch of you," Lexa purrs contently. Now that the adrenaline was fading, she was feeling sleepy, and the pain was making itself known.

Clarke startles upright, her hands shooting out to grasp Lexa's shoulders before jerking back when it caused Lexa to groan loudly in protest.

"Oh, shit! Sorry! I forgot about that."

Lexa huffs out an amused laugh while clutching her hand over her wounded shoulder. "Good to know that I'm that distracting. Feel free to hurt me again if this is the result every time."

Clarke almost smiles at the joke, well, at least she hopes it is a joke. She never knew with Lexa. With a reluctant sigh, she removes herself from Lexa and stands up.

"There's not going to be a next time, Lexa. This was..." A mistake, she wanted to say but couldn't let the lie escape her mouth. "Get out of here before I change my mind and arrest you. Your shoulder needs tending to."

Lexa couldn't help but show her disappointment in Clarke attempting to distance herself from her again. She was used to it, but for a moment, she thought she finally got through to her.

Gratefully, Clarke was letting her escape, and Lexa knew that meant something despite whatever Clarke may be telling herself. One day Clarke will just let herself feel and be free of any shame she held.

"There's no need for shame in this. You don't need to keep resisting, Clarke." Lexa struggles back to her feet, using the wall to keep her balance.

"I have to. This is wrong."

"It is not wrong!" Lexa snaps, her voice echoing off the walls. "What you and I feel for each other is not wrong. It is the most righteous feeling I've ever felt. It's the one pure thing in my life. It can't be wrong."

"Lexa," Clarke chokes, eyes turning watery. "I don't know how to do this. I don't know what you want from me and how I could find it inside myself to give it to you. I don't think I can."

"I believe you can someday. You'll find that you owe it to yourself and be with me. I will give this life all up for you. It can be just you and I together."

Clarke stays silent, holding herself within her arms as a tear drips down her cheek. Lexa simply nods in understanding.

"It was lovely to see you again, Clarke. We shall continue our game. Until next time..."

Lexa steps forward to lay a soft kiss to the tear trail on Clarke's cheek.

"Lexa," Clarke whispers, causing Lexa to pause in her step away. "I don't know how I'm going to process this and if I actually can. All I can give you right now is a..." Clarke nervously licks her lips, "Not yet."

Lexa gazes into Clarke's eyes and feels she is genuine. She just needed time to cope with and accept her feelings for what they are.

"I'll wait however long you need."

Clarke heaves a breath as Lexa leaves the building and sits where Lexa was seated. She could feel the lingering warmth beneath her body.

She'll give Lexa 5 more minutes before calling backup to arrive and survey the scene. She would have to come up with a cover story on how Lexa escaped capture once again.

Any new headcanons brewing in your head after seeing Alycia at the AACTA

Not... entirely

But I've had thoughts. Bear with me.

I'm not even remotely the person to write something like this at all, but it definitely did have me thinking of a SORT OF SHOEH-esque type fic. Something involving them being closeted and in Hollywood. Getting their flowers for their talent and being in love, but having to keep it quiet their entire careers. I've seen some fics along this line here and there, but inevitably in the fic, one or both eventually come out on stage or something.

Which is great! That's a lovely and hopeful ending.

But also....

Not entirely realistic.

Or even half as heartwrenching.

"Well yeah jesus fuck, why do you want sad shit Andi, why are you always such a glutton for punishment and literary pain?"

Well I'll tell you why: cuz... shut up

Idk it just got me thinking of Clexa as two Hollywood starlets on kind of differing ends of the spectrum of Hollywood that in the public eye are generally never really thought about together.

Lexa tends to do more gritty work, a lot more indie films. Dark threaded moody pieces and emotional roles, not generally thought of as box office fodder, but pretty much always a contender at awards season. Sleeper hits, you get me. Things like that. She definitely has a well known name, but she's selective in her work and that gains her a lot of respect with fans, even if they have to sometimes wait 2-3 years between projects. Because whatever she signs on for, it's pretty much always really fucking good. Whereas Clarke is more of a mainstream girly. She does a decently broad spectrum of films, but they're by and large always ones with bigger budgets, bigger release dates, more screens. It's not that they're not quality pictures, it's just that Clarke likes to work a broad range of things. One year she's in a comedy, the next a period piece, the next action. There's no real labeling her career.

And most importantly, they're both very, very straight.

At least, their personas are.

Alexandria is a smoky eyed femme fatale who leaves all the men eating out of the palm of her hand. Very "Look but don't touch" attitude that adds to her allure, to her mystery, despite her always being attached to leading man's arm. Miss Griffin is the picture of buxom Hollywood glam that every guy has on the List. Known for leaving a string of broken hearted men in her wake with little more than a cheek kiss-stained in signature red lipstick

Lexa and Clarke though?

Lexa and Clarke are two friends who have been deeply in love and committed to each other for the better part of 5 years.

They love each other in secret because that's what they feel like they have to do. They have two seperate houses with two separate addresses, and only one bed they actually sleep in.

It only really burns on the big nights, which I think would be an interesting oneshot. Just a glimpse into their life and what it feels like in that moment. The night when all their work and their sacrifices are being honored. Because even though, yes, they do play the part of friends and manage to sit near each other, it's not the same. It's not the same when they can't get ready together or even show up in the same car. When they have to remind themselves not to lean into each other too often, or even reach for the others hand to calm their nerves.

When one wins, they walk up alone without a hug or kiss from the only person who actually matters. They thank their families and their friends and their management that they can barely stand half the time, and remind themselves to smile like it's the happiest moment of their life even though at least half it all feels like a lie. Because yeah, they get lonely in the months when projects and shooting schedules pull them to opposite sides of the globe... but somehow those months never feel quite as lonely as being in a room filled with people who act like they adore you, while the love of your life sits quietly with her own "date" half an aisle away

Charming Bites & Lady Knights

So I wrote this for my Secret Santa (hi @kokkoro, I hope you don't mind me dedicating this to you again...) this past Christmas, but I thought I'd post it to ao3 in case anyone was just looking for a little mindless fluff in these weird times...

Lexa braves the local bakery on a quest to retrieve the annual holiday treats for her mother. But when boorish customers start to berate the employee behind the counter, Lexa can't help but defend the honor of that startlingly attractive blonde.

Summary:

She narrowed her eyes “It’s a bad idea.”

“Oh, definitely.”

“The worst idea.”

“Undoubtedly.’”

“I’m getting married tomorrow.”

The brunette crept a bit closer with a look that screamed: trouble. “All the more reason.”

“I don’t even know your name.” the princess huffed.

At this, she received a wide grin that made the breath catch in her chest. “You can call me Lexa, your highness.”

Princess Clarke of Arkadia is getting married to a complete stranger tomorrow. When a beautiful rogue shows up to steal something from the princess, she decides to have some fun on her last night of freedom.
