Pride demands that all debts be paid. When a moment of compassion leaves a village indebted to Clarke, Lexa takes it upon herself to pay it.

I will no longer be updating this story. I apologize to everyone who is left hanging because of this, however, after the obvious events of the 100 I lost faith in the characters. Perhaps at a later point I will pick this back up again, or write a new story. Again, I apologize to all my wonderful readers, but I will not offer you half-hearted writing. (Lexa and Clarke)

"The unwritten rule of sci-fi: the guy always gets the girl. The girl may have a kiss with another girl or even several girls, she may have a relationship with a girl or several girls, but she will always get with the guy in the end. Lesbian relationships are to be experimental only, they never last." Yeah, Lexa doesn't follow the rules, she makes them. BEING REWRITTEN

(Written before the finale) With no betrayal, the attack on Mount Weather was a costly success. The toll for Clarke herself was still too much, and another kind of betrayal leaves her running into the forest. She was done being a leader. Done bearing that burden. But there are some things you just can't run from, and Clarke will find herself being forced to make that choice again.

In which Lexa watches the Hundred become grounders, and Clarke accidentally finds herself kinda sorta proposing to Lexa.
