    Summary

    This wasn’t her Clint. Normally, it was quiet, sweet. He made love to her. But this was… Clint was a different beast entirely tonight. It was like he was someone else.
    Or was fucking someone else.

    Or the winding trail that led Clint and Laura to the love of their life. A bumpy road to be sure, but one with wonderful rewards along the way.

    Now with even more absolutely stunning art by TheMissingMask!

    Summary

    “Nah, you way over-tipped last night. This one’s on the house.”

    Lena’s shoulders slump in mock exasperation. “Kara, don’t start with me.”

    “I am absolutely starting with you.”

    What a smug little shit, Lena thinks. But God is she cute. “You really don’t want to play this game.”

    "Yeah? Maybe I do.”

    It’s said so softly, so gently, and if this was one of Siobhan’s movies, they wouldn’t be talking about the money or drinks at all, they’d be talking about something clenching around Lena’s chest, something stifling, a loneliness that paralyzes her bones.

    “Don’t blame me when you lose,” Lena says with a gentle upturn of her mouth, her voice low and crackling, leaving a fifty-dollar bill on the bartop before she turns away.

    Summary

    When Lena meets Kara, a soldier home on leave as she waits for her next deployment, at a local coffee shop one afternoon, her life is completely tipped upside down in an instant. As they start talking, Lena feels drawn to Kara; there's something about her warmth and openness that fills the gap left by Lena's troubled childhood.

    Growing closer over the next few months, falling fast for each other, the two of them find themselves unable to stay away, but Kara's next deployment is inevitable, and with promises that she'll come home, Lena waits for her.

    Summary

    Clarke can’t meet Lexa’s eyes when she presses the dagger to her throat.

    She’s not the one Clarke wants to hurt and she knows it, deep down, beneath the bits of her that are ripped to shreds, that will never be stitched back together. 

    Clarke comes to Polis to kill Lexa and stays because it's the path of least resistance, or at least that’s what she tells herself. This fic starts at the knife scene in the season 3 trailer and then takes on a life of its own from there. (Happy ending included.)

    Summary

    Maria stopped as soon as she entered the room and raised her eyes towards the woman in the cage, the reason they were called and ordered there. The alleged Black Widow. The red hair, the green eyes, even the curious tilt of her chin were familiar to her. She knew that woman.

    “Natasha?”

    “Who told you that name?" [...] "I've never seen you before. But whatever I did to you,” she paused and faked a smirk, she felt her fingers begin to tingle, her jump was about to end, her time was almost up, “I'm going to enjoy every second of it.”

But the search for solace was cut short when the forest itself proved to be a formidable foe patiently waiting for Clarke to become one with its ground. When Wanheda's title was not strong enough to ward off nature’s course, Clarke found herself in the proximity of someone she promised to kill. Torn between the hate Clarke felt for this betrayer and old feelings she wished could be forgotten, Clarke made a choice. And before she could live with the consequences of her actions, life pulled her down an unforeseen path. Leaving the grounders with only memories of Wanheda's sun kissed hair and the tale of how her fight ended too soon. Today the Skai princess’s story is nothing but a distant memory.

    Summary

    Under the direction of enigmatic founder Lexa Woods, Gonakru Nova is a small but prestigious company making waves in the New York theatre scene.

    Under the not-so-gentle bullying of her best friend Octavia, Clarke Griffin - a former TV actor with a bit of past she'd rather forget - decides to audition for a new play Gonakru is producing, despite her long hiatus from acting.

    What happens next?

    A little pining. A lot of swearing. And proof that --regardless of how long Clarke's been away -- there's still one shining rule about theatre that will always apply, no matter what:

    Always expect the unexpected.
