Merry (belated) Christmas, @blitztheinkling! Here is your much anticipated gift in its entirety! This was a blast to work on, so I hope you enjoy it as well. :) Here's a little snippet of the fic, but you can read the rest on AO3 through the link below:

The ordeal started with no fanfare whatsoever. They were maybe ten minutes into the second leg of the hike. Chris was beginning to huff and puff again, but Sam barely noticed this time. Last night’s rain had made the moss as slippery as ice on the smooth rocks peppering this part of the trail, and footing was more treacherous than usual. Her visual check-ups on Chris grew more frequent, as she trusted his ability not to fall on his ass considerably less than she trusted her own. But by liberally stabbing the ground with his walking stick and putting all of his weight on it, he was actually managing fairly well. Until they got to a part of the trail that sloped steeply downward. Sam was focused on finding the next trustworthy rock to step on, when she heard an unassuming squeak followed by Chris’ breathless voice softly going, “Whoop!” That was it. That was Sam's only indication that something had gone wrong, but her spidey-sense was going off hard enough to make her turn around and see what happened.  The last thing she expected to find was nothing.  Literally nothing.  Chris was gone.

Merry Christmas, @blitztheinkling! I'm your Secret Santa. I'm one of the slackers who needed an extention, mostly because your gift has ended up running approximately double the minimum word count. Sorry!

Far be it from me to leave you empty-handed on posting day, though! Your gift is a fic containing some budding Chris/Sam, inspired by your headcanon, which I love, that Sam often takes Chris hiking in order to get him outside. This is their first time hiking together, and it goes... interestingly. Here's a sneak preview of what's to come.

Gingerbread cookies anyone?

Don't mind the second batch. They're still good. (Even the burnt one.)

You might say there's.... *puts on sunglasses*

...Little Hope...

for us.

YYYEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!

When you're dreaming about LH and you're like "finally new Clarke content 🤩" but then you wake up to the crushing realization that you already had all you're going to get 😔

59. It irks me deeply that I'm so close to having a nice, round, even number but don't.

Maybe one day, when they're a bit more polished. Right now they're mostly word vomit. I've primarily focused on writing the Commencement Day Massacre, which is not very light-hearted.

Andrew teasing John about the fact he got scared and ran out off the hut and it boosting their relationship means so much to me! Because I bet if Taylor or Angela or Daniel did it he would react negatively.

"Andrew teased John about what was in the Hut" He sure shit did and I'm going to put my head through a wall AAAHHHH!!!

I also like how in the relationship hud for John and Andrew the sentence is just straight up wrong "Teased him over what was in Hut" wanna add a nice 'THE' in there fellas?

In my random scribblings and fragments of 1690s writing, Abraham and Joseph 100% have a playful relationship with each other. It's my favorite thing. You can tell by the one scene they have together that they're close. Joseph knew that he could get himself killed warning Abraham about Mary, but he did anyway, because 1) he clearly trusted Abraham not to tell the wrong people and 2) he cared more about Abraham's well-being than his own (especially since Amy was gone). I love imagining what their less dire interactions look like.

Not wrong! Not wrong at all!

(I’m sure this has been done before but I was working on a GMV for Little Hope and finally aligned these two scenes because I already knew they matched but hadn’t seen them side by side… and now my heart hurts Q-Q.)

So obviously Andrew is Anthony, we know that, but have you ever taken the time to watch the two scenes of them outside the house side by side like this. It hurts. I know it’s probably meant to be one last hint towards the truth and all that because it’s an exact match (to a point) but…

Andrew’s face shows so much more fear because he knows… even if at this point he doesn’t fully remember… he’s lived this before…

(towards the end of the gif I skipped the scenes that weren’t Anthony/Andrew to put the last face shot together of Anthony/Andrew seeing James/John’s fate.)

And then if you just keep the scenes lined up and play til the end this little bit matches up and like Andrew’s knees hitting the ground as the house collapses/that scene cuts to black… I didn’t line that up it just happened to line up like that.

Touché, rofl. "Andrew! You threw that rock without needing your arm in a sling for a couple weeks after. Very impressive, kid!"

This phrasing kills me 😭

Hey now. John nailed that window. It was a very smashed window. He hit that window with a rock very well. He just... y'know... kinda broke himself in the process.

This phrasing kills me 😭

Reblog if you've ever yelled at a book.

Are there people who don’t reblog this?

I keep forgetting about the running firefly gag with Wyman. Then it comes up again, and it is never not hilarious.

😐 🤨 😃
