Reactions and Reviews
Having read nearly every The 100 fanfic out there a few months ago, I cycled back through recently to see what new additions there were on AO3. Lo and behold, I discovered this gem that tugged at my heartstrings and made me ever so glad that I fell for this beautiful ship. In a twist of fate, all of the Sky People die from one thing or another, leaving Clarke and Bellamy alone. The last of their people, they have to depend on each other as they mourn, survive, try to start anew, and seek something to live for. And of course, there is a healthy dosage of smut because, hey, if they have babies, then they aren’t the last of the Sky People, now are they? Good excuse for Bellarke sex, if you ask me.[2]
Odds are you’ve heard of this one because - let’s be real - it’s essentially the holy grail of Bellarke fanfic. But, nonetheless, I’ll still recommend it because this is probably the single best canonverse fic I’ve read. Like, ever. It was completed awhile ago now, but it still holds up amazingly well and I’ve read it start to finish two times now and it was STILL incredible the second time around. This fic should be required reading in the Bellarke fandom, I’m not even kidding.[3]
definitely my favorite bellarke fic; it’s the one i keep returning to. it’s so well-written and breeds so much nostalgia.[7]
Firstly, it’s just a classic Bellarke fic, don’t @ me. Secondly, it’s so sad and heartwarming and heartbreaking and stressful and action packed. It explores isolation (isolation? In Talis’s fic recs? It’s more likely than you think) and complex emotional themes and also throws in some fun and cutesy scenes and a smattering (or rather, a massive heaping dollop) of Bellarke sexual tension. There’s Bellarke and smut and grounders and smut and violence and smut and gorilla fighting pits and smut. I love it SO MUCH.[8]
