Reactions and Reviews
IT’S EVERYTHING I’VE EVER WANTED FROM THE 100 FIC. the author is so ride or die clarke stan and because of that she completely understands clarke. it’s well written clexa, bellamy/clarke as best friends, and is respectful to finn and finn/clarke (i’m so over fics where finn is an evil serial cheater). i just, really love this fic guys?? wow.[2]
This is oblivious idiots cranked up to 11. The airport scene is great but also make you want to scream. This is a lighthearted, upbeat, and just plain fun take on the fake dating trope. Cheesy Pick-Up Line: Do you like jalapeños? Cause in a minute I’ll be jalapeño vagina.[3]
aka the fake dating on point characterization AU[4]
