(CHAPTER THREE) (PLAYLIST)

Bellarke Fanfiction Dedication: Atlas Hands (FF by @marauders-groupie )

“I’m looking for work, Captain Blake.”

The man laughs, steps closer to her. She can see every freckle on his face now, the salt caught on his brow, the smell of rum permeating his skin.

The desperation, in how he holds himself.

Grief is coming off of him in waves lapping at their feet.

“Your hands are too soft. Hair too clean. Princess.”

Historic sailing AU: The Princess of Arkadia runs away, and finds a home on the Queen Octavia with Captain Bellamy Blake and his crew.

Here’s What I’ve Got (The Reasons Why Our Marriage Might Work)

Bellamy catches her humming sometimes, when she thinks no one’s looking. They get an afternoon off and she spends it in the garden, reading.

This time, she reaches for him when she spots him.

“Come here. Keep me company, please.”

He tells her about his life, the production company he’s starting with Raven. All the projects on their list, the long days which are sure to follow when he comes back home.

“But we’re in a spell right now, aren’t we?” she teases, smiling at him and it’s easy. It’s so easy, being with this Clarke whose energy makes him unwind instantly, makes his heart take root in his chest. “We don’t have to break it just yet.”

Part 6: I’d Rather Be Heartless (Than Have My Heart In Pieces)

“Look at that,”  Wanheda said, over Clarke’s shoulder. “All the suffering you went through, all on your own. It didn’t even occur to them, did it? How hard it must have been for you. They came back and within days they were more than willing to toss you aside to save themselves.”

“Stop it,” Clarke whispered. “It’s not going to work.”

“What are you talking about; it’s already working,” she walked around her, crouching down at eye level and sticking a fingertip under her jaw, tilting her gaze to reach hers. “I win.”

“You won’t.”

“You’re not listening,” she said, sounding bored.

read it on ao3 or start from the beginning! and hey, here’s a playlist to match!

Love Like Fools

Clarke and Bellamy end up as roommates in college, and they don’t like each other much in the beginning.

What can I say, tropes are classics for a reason.

For @starboybellamy and @bellamyfknblake!

top 5/bottom 5 kudos fics

What are your five most popular works by kudos? (in descending order)

i was tagged by @pawprinterfanfic and @thelittlefanpire

1. I Don’t Need Your Love (I Just Need You Now) [1926 kudos, COMPLETE, 120k words, Bellarke, Rated T]  The modern au where Clarke and Bellamy hate each other until Bellamy realises she’s being mistreated, and does his best to protect her.

2. Set The Dark On Fire [1607 kudos, COMPLETE, 50k, Bellarke, Rated T] Clarke isn’t coping well with peacetime on the Eligius ship, and while Bellamy has woken some of the others (mainly spacekru) and tries to organise a trip to the ground, making decisions and considering all the variables, Clarke makes a choice of her own: she’ll take herself out of the equation. OR, the post season 5 idea I had to write because all of the unresolved emotional turmoil this season is actually killing me and someone needs to notice that Clarke is in pain, for the love of god. (And the fic that launched me into this fandom. I have a LOT to thank this fic for). 

3. The Bruise Won’t Heal (the stain stays put) [1333 kudos, COMPLETE, 8k words, The 100, Rated T]  After they save everyone - again - they actually have a moment to rest. And Clarke has had ENOUGH. (aka, the CATHARSIS fic)

4. What’s A Little Quaffle Between Friends? [739 kudos, COMPLETE, 32k words, Bellarke, Rated G]  Bellamy gets injured in a Quidditch game and gets sent to the hospital wing, where Clarke volunteers during her free periods. She checks up on him during the night, and the next time he gets injured, she happens to be there again. Then it keeps happening.

5. Might Fine Shindig [711 kudos, COMPLETE, 26k words, Bellarke, Rated T] When they touch down on the new planet, the leaders throw a ball in their honour, which involves Clarke in a dress getting all the attention she deserves, Bellamy being very jealous and doing a terrible job of concealing it, and possibly getting into a fight over Clarke, so… everyone’s fantasy?Just mine?Cool.

So it turns out people really like it when I write canon-related fix-its lmao <3

What are your five least popular works by kudos? (in ascending order)

1. so hot i need a fan [52 kudos, COMPLETE, 8k words, Bellarke, Rated T] i ABSOLUTELY expected this fic to be the lowest and I was not disappointed - the delinquents-kpop-crackfic i wrote for my friend’s birthday

2. like lovers (or partners in crime) [101 kudos, ONGOING, 7k words, The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, Rated T]  When Susie collapses during a set, Midge is terrifyingly unshaken. She seems to barely notice, acting as if nothing is wrong despite everyone knowing it is. When she tells her father she plans to do another routine the next night rather than visit Susie in hospital, Abe decides to call a friend. (otherwise known as: my excuse to write Lenny Bruce in the Catskills)

3. I First Tasted The Universe On A Night Like This [119 kudos, COMPLETE, 21k, Bellarke, Rated T] The Bellarke as Captain Swan fic that @goodqueenalys  bribed me to write. Apparently I take bribes now!

4. consider the hairpin turn [134 kudos, ONGOING, 1.3k, Bellarke, Rated T] the “collection of tumblr drabbles” with only one drabble in it so far, but hey, maybe i’ll get back to these during s7

5. Oh, How I Want To Break Free [136 kudos, ONGOING, 10k, Bellarke, Rated G] A Chasing Liberty AU where Clarke is the president’s daughter looking to have some fun for a change by ditching her bodyguards and Bellamy is the guy she doesn’t know is a secret service agent who she keeps dragging along with her. (I wrote it for January Joy last year and always intended to finish the second half and post it, but circumstances kept getting in the way. However, I haven’t abandoned it! Stay tuned!)

Rare and Beautiful

[A Clarke-centric Bellarke AU with magic ; for @goodqueenalys ; inspired by A Discovery of Witches]

How rare and beautiful it is to truly exist. 

Read it here

All right, lovelies!! I promised this and here I am actually delivering woohoo!! Here is my fic rec list for 2019. All of these fics were either updated or completed in 2019. I’ve separated the bellarke fics by wip and complete, and have added a couple of other ships and separated them accordingly. Hope you enjoy and find something great to read! Bellarke (Complete):

bite your friend like chocolate  by @selflessbellamy​

This one was such a fun, joyous read. It was so nice to see bellarke in an au where nothing too painful happened to them. I loved reading it and honestly ate it up all at once. Highly recommend even if you think high school aus aren’t usually your thing because this one is just so special! 

Where the Light Won’t Find You by @asroarke​

A truly amazing, yet heart-wrenching story. I can’t sing this story’s praises enough. It hit me hard in so many ways, but it was truly a breathtaking read and is deserving of all of the love. Bellarke are so gorgeous here, and it is so worthy of a dedicated read. Probably one I will continue to revisit. 

In A Pitch Black World (Anything Goes) by @talistheintrovert​

I’m such a sucker for murder mysteries, and this one was an unbelievably riveting and wonderful read. Bellarke are perfect here, but there is so much else going on, I promise, you won’t be disappointed. 

Darling by @marauders-groupie​

One of my absolute favorite oneshots I read during the year! It was such a perfect mix of angst and pining and disdain at first but then oh shit I like you. I loved the characterizations here and the idea was so unique and well-executed. 

Almosts and Maybes by @arysafics​

What can I even say about this wonderfully angsty and slow burn fic?? It was so worth every excruciating update. I certainly was in pain while reading some of these chapters, but in the best way if that makes sense. It is so gorgeously written and never felt overdone even as the premise promises that it could be. 

the naked truth by @kombellarke​

The Bellarke! The Murven! The angst! The love! This fic is truly a special one and was a lovely read from start to finish. It was truly an honor to be nominated alongside this wonderful fic in the BFWAs and I honestly can’t speak more highly of this work. This is a must-read for everyone. 

Waste It on Me by @eyessharpweaponshot​

Okay, I must say, this is probably my favorite fic of the year. It’s breathtaking and beautifully written. The story’s pacing is just amazing and the story itself is so special and amazing. I really don’t have the words to describe how special and unique and just miraculous this work is. 

Bellarke (WIP): 

The Hungry and The Hunted by @octaviadblake​

I’m not just rec’ing this one because Syd is one of the most real ones, but because her writing is truly some of the best i’ve ever come across. There is such beauty and detail here. Every sentence has an impact and it is so wonderful. 

Why Do You Love Me? by @shaeheda​

I’m sure this one doesn’t really come as a surprise, but trust me, it is such a wonderful story. Shae has truly pushed herself with this one. It is a stunning story that demands to be told. Each chapter feels immediate and impactful. There is such amazing detail and love put into this work, and I couldn’t rec it more. 

Sugar by @asroarke​

Honestly, if you’re not reading this amazing fic by now, who are you?! This is another absolute favorite for the year. Everything about it is perfection. The characterization, the story, the feelings expressed. Every update has my heart quickening and me diving headfirst into it. 

Murven:

Burning Cities and Napalm Skies by amtheyzt 

I absolutely was blown away by this work. Everything about it is so incredibly written and just a wonderful work. Truly amazing, I recommend it even if you’re not sure you’re a fan of Murven. It is so special and an amazing telling of a s6 au that could’ve been. Plus, while it’s definitely Murven’s story, there’s still some Bellarke goodness!

Clurphy/Bellarke:

darling, hold me in your arms (the way you did last night) by @probably-voldemort​

This is an amazing read! It’s so tumultuous and human and lovely and really, the writing is just incredible. I never imagined myself as one that would love a story like this so much, but I can’t imagine not loving it now. A read that will leave you stunned and holding on with bated breath but also dying from cuteness and babies. 

Shameless Plug (rip): 

And lastly, here’s the link to my own ao3 because I truly am shameless. However, I am (despite everything telling me not to be) proud of the works I’ve written this year, so here haha: animmortalist

we go together

summary:  Jon barked out a laugh, but then he wished he hadn’t because Jaime was turning his eyes on him. So far during this interview he had avoided any pointed questions.

“The most surprising, perhaps, was your marriage to Sansa Stark, Jon. A famous movie star in her own right and Robb’s own sister. There had been rumors of you two dating for a while during the band’s off years, seeing as you were her plus one to several of her movie premieres. Any comment on when exactly you two got together?”

a/n: for @stark as the 3rd winner of my fic giveaway who requested jonsa fic based off of this post and joe and sophie’s relationship in general. hope you enjoy!!

preview: 

Honestly, Jon sort of thought they would have come to the question earlier.

They’d been in the interview for more than half an hour, and they’d hit a lot of the hard topics they’d prepped for with Margaery, their manager (and Robb’s wife, which was again something they’d had to discuss). The three of them—him, Robb, and Theon—had talked about their break up years prior, the work that had needed to go in for them to be able to be a band again, and how it felt to be back up on stage together. They had touched on the weird pressure of being a famous band as teenagers, the way it had impacted their image, and a number of things that made Jon feel more like he was in therapy than a television interview.

Now, though, after all the hard hitting questions they had expected to come first, Jaime looked at them with a playful smile that Jon was sure meant danger.

ICE PRINCESSES HAVE HEARTS TOO

summary: Bellamy is a notoriously awful ice skater, but when his daughter Madi begs him to go, he’s helpless to resist. He finds he can’t complain too much when he meets a particular blonde who happens to be a former Olympian figure skater…Even if things don’t go perfectly. At first.

Here we are! My first ficmas post of my 12 Days of Bellarke Ficmas! Hope you enjoy and look forward to the next ones!!

tagging people under the cut-please let me know if you’d like to be tagged for the other fics and I’ll add you!
