As a writing exercise, I'm doing a series of unconnected "snapshot" scenes. To make it challenging, I decided each must be exactly 200 words, and must end in a (BELLARKE) kiss. That's it! I will post each one at a time. While they were intended as an exercise only, please let me know if you're interested in seeing any of these expanded. Thank you for reading!

He's the one to find her, seven months after the world ends.

Bellamy knew it was all in his head, but he still marveled at how real it all felt. Post season 2 Bellarke.

Clarke is determined to hunt for medical supplies, forcing Bellamy to go with her. With Raven and Finn bringing up the rear, it should make for an interesting trip. Shit, this summary is so misleading.

"You're in love with him, and he's in love with you, and it's like a goddamn tragedy, because you look at him and see the stars, and he looks at you and sees the sun. And you both think the other is just looking at the ground." [Modern AU. Bellarke. Banner by Ro Nordmann]

Post season two, where Clarke did not leave. Instead, every night she and Bellamy silently suffer from horrible nightmares each night but keep it to themselves because they need to be strong for their people. Mostly fluff with plot. Rated T for language and other lowkey things.

He watches from a distance as the young, strange people pour out of the ship. Many are his sister's age, but none appear to have a fraction of the discipline Octavia does. His sister is a warrior; these people are children. Stupid ones, Bellamy notes, as some fall to their knees and kiss the ground perilously close to deer droppings. And then, he sees her. [A Grounder!Bellamy AU.]

The son of Hades and the daughter of Apollo. No one could have predicted what would happen between the two of them, especially from the way the they met. But there's no fighting inevitability. Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus AU.

"Did you think that by running away, you could take away my pain, too?" he asks, sitting down next to her. Her gaze remains fixed ahead, watching the fire dance and writhe. It reminds her of agony and of peace, both at once. "I don't know, Bellamy. I thought I could try." Happy birthday somethingmorecreative1! Title credits to Hozier.
