Sometimes life takes you a different direction. Sometimes it's in the right way. Sometimes it's to the wrong part of town. [Bellarke Modern AU]

Bellamy and Clarke are set in an arranged marriage on the Ark at the ages of 5 and 10, in an effort to ease the gap between the richest and the poorest of civilians. But, with the hope the pair find love together naturally, the plan is that no one tells them until they're 18, but instead to push them together periodically. Bellamy still thinks in any life, he'd pick her.

What if Bellamy and Octavia were never on the Ark, but grew up on Earth. In order for Clarke to keep her people safe, she needs to learn to work together with the chief of Trikru. None other than Bellamy Blake himself. A Bellarke story (Slowburn). This is a story about how things would have unfolded (in my head) if Bellamy and Octavia were grounders and never were on the dropship.

Clarke Griffin wants a real relationship after months of being alone. Bellamy Blake has his reasons for never wanting to fall in love again. A Modern AU Bellarke fic with plenty of other characters and relationships scattered throughout. The smut is lit and loaded, and there is quite a bit of it. But there is a major angsty plot, too, which drives everything.

In the ark we grew up knowing that, back in Earth (before the whole apocalyptic situation), soulmates where just an idea, a way to describe what you felt when the four-letter word just wasn't enough. But in the ark, soulmates became a much more real phenomenon.

"Mom was right, you shouldn't have kids." Clarke froze, kids. "Your—your mom spoke about me to you?" "No, Auntie Clarke, she talked to Daddy, I just heard them." "Well, it's a good thing I don't have them, right?" Clarke asked trying to keep control, trying to hide her tears and the crack in her voice. She shouldn't have agreed to watch Leo. She shouldn't be doing this, not yet.

The odds being in her favor, that was the dream. Clarke's name gets drawn during the 73th Games anyway, alongside a boy from the Seam who looks at her like she hung the moon. One of their mentors is a drunk, the other's an ass. Clarke is as good as dead. All in the name of blood must have blood. That's reality. / The Hunger Games AU.
