A/N: Hey guys, sorry about the slightly shorter chapter but I am in an incredibly busy week and I am so tired right now so I hope you forgive me. Also, this is the A/N of announcements today haha :)

Firstly, I went through all your reviews and the overwhelming consensus is that you do not want a COL storyline, this is fine and that has now been put on hold indefinitely.

Secondly, I am so sorry about not replying to reviews but is playing up. It will let me see the reviews but I can't reply so you'll just have to bear with me on that for a while until I can work out how to fix it or it fixes itself. I have emailed the sites support so hopefully I will hear something soon. :)

Thirdly, Zar K, you reviewed on Chapter 70, just wanted to let you know that I saw what you said and I think it's a really cool idea that has definitely gone on to my to do list :D

Finally, I think haha, today a new fic went on my profile called A New Plan, A New Way - Deleted Scenes. It is exactly what it sounds like and basically, on any chapter if I reference something that isn't shown, you can request for it to go up on their. Also any little under 1000 word prompts are likely to get put on their as well. I put that one up because a few people asked me what Ontari did last chapter, so if you want to know you can now go and check that out :)

Thank you for being so amazing and supportive guys, I love you all so much and I am so grateful that you are all here with me day after day. I am dreading the episode on Thursday but I know I have all of you to get me through it, so there is going to be an extra special, extra long update on Friday to help us all deal with whatever's coming.

See you next chapter! xxx

Lexa had just knocked Aden to the ground for the fourth time when Clarke appeared, standing back to allow them to finish their training session. She had learnt the hard way that it was unwise to try and interrupt if Lexa had a weapon in her hand, the Commander's flawless reflexes where the only thing that had saved her from a couple of really close calls.

Aden bounced back up, going straight on the offensive, and Clarke watched as they traded blows with Lexa being forced back step by step. Clarke expected Lexa to suddenly launch herself forwards, but Aden didn't let up, and then suddenly he twisted his staff and caught Lexa square across the jaw.

Clarke's jaw ached in sympathy as Lexa stepped back and dropped her own staff to her side, "You are getting better every day Aden, that is enough for today."

He nodded in answer, holding out his hand for her staff, which she passed off gratefully as she made her way over to greet Clarke.

Gently, she touched her fingers to Lexa's face, who held firm and let her poke and prod until she was satisfied that there was no hidden damage.

"So how is Ontari, still in one piece?" Lexa asked curiously, as she accepted the water that Clarke had brought down for her.

"For now." Clarke smiled, "But if she doesn't stop trying to make Raven laugh she might not stay that way for long."

Lexa chuckled and shook her head, "Remember when I was going to kill her?"

"Still glad you didn't?" Clarke asked as she laughed.

Shrugging lightly, Lexa twisted to watch Aden as he started walking back towards him, "Depends on the day you ask me. For the amusement she provides? Yes, I am glad I didn't kill her."

"I am sure that she would love to hear that the reason she's still alive is that she amuses you." Clarke grinned as Aden reached them, "Hey Aden, well done on hitting Lexa."

Aden stepped into the warm hug she offered without hesitation, "Thank you, I did it once before but she was distracted that day. I am glad that I now know that I really can do it."

"Distracted?" Clarke asked curiously, "By what?"

Lexa gave a long suffering sigh as Aden grinned, "By you." He answered slyly.

"In my defence you had locked yourself in your room for a week, I had cause for concern." Lexa said haughtily.

Clarke laughed as she patted Aden on the shoulder, "Well thank you for the information, it's nice to know that I can count on you to tell me things that Lexa doesn't want me to hear."

Lexa rolled her eyes and pushed at Aden's shoulder, "Run along now Aden, before you give Clarke more information to tease me with."

Aden grinned and then wrapped his arms around both of them impulsively before taking off, having planned to spend the afternoon playing with Cal anyway.

"What now then?" Clarke asked happily as she took hold of Lexa's hand, pulling her along as they headed back towards the heart of the city, accepting samples of foods as they went from merchants who begged the opinion of Wanheda and their Heda.

"I don't know." Lexa smiled, "And I love it, no war, no conflict. My people are happy and so am I. Once we push through the plans for the conclave it will be just a case of waiting until the next conflict arises."

Clarke laughed, "So your long term plan is wait for disaster to strike and then work it out from there?"

Lexa grinned brightly as she pulled Clarke close, looping her arms round her next, "I am the Commander, are you questioning me on matters of strategy?"

"Of course not." Clarke said seriously, bumping her nose against Lexa's, "Simply admiring your genius."

Humming Lexa dipped her head to capture Clarke's lips with her own, "Good, don't you forget it Clarke, mine is the mind that forged the coalition on the thirteen clans."

Clarke chuckled as she pulled back slightly, "You wing that as well?

Lexa fake gasped, her eyes sparkling humorously, "Clarke that is hurts, I will have you know that the coalition took years of careful work and the better part of my sanity."

Laughing, Clarke nodded, "I don't doubt it, how did you understand what winging it meant by the way? I thought that was another Skaikru term."

"It is." Lexa nodded, "But I spend an unhealthy amount of time with Octavia, and she is teaching me your words and customs that I don't currently know."

Clarke eyes her dubiously as they started walking again, "Well ok, but I'm not sure I'd trust her to tell the truth.

Lexa smirked proudly, "Oh trust me Clarke, Octavia knows better than to lie to me."

"Right..." Clarke said, following her into the tower, "So what have you threatened to do to her then?"
