Hello friends! How was your Valentine's week? We hope everyone had a good one! While we didn't hold a Valentine event this year, (Your friendly admin needed a bit of rest!) we did manage to do a little something that you might like! We finally got around to organizing a fic collection for the previous gift exchange! You can find it right here! We hope you'll enjoy having the fics in one place (Hopefully we got everyone! If not let us know!) should you want to go back and re-read the awesome works our participants created! 💖

Happy New Year! For the holidays I joined in on another Bellarke gift exchange (@bellarke-events) and this is a sneak peek of an AU prompted by @superficialseer! The full thing will be posted soon but I wanted to get something up for now! Happy Holidays! ❤️💚

“I feel like I’m trapped in a Disney movie from the mid-2000s.” Bellamy comments as she settles in beside him again, definitely not glancing at how close her thigh is to his. “More like a Hallmark rom-com, complete with the snowstorm and Christmas music.” Bellamy’s not sure if he consists more of the rom or the com for her, but before he can head down that train of thought, she’s reaching over and stealing the last Christmas cookie that he was two seconds away from putting in his mouth. All he can do is watch her bite down on it with a smile. Clarke’s like that, he’s come to realize. Only a few hours of knowing each other and she’s comfortable nudging his knee with hers when she says something to get him to smile or stealing the last cookie from the cookie box he bought an hour ago from some high-end bakery chain in the food court area. She’s intriguing. (She’s dangerous.)

The fanfic reblogs are still coming! If you like a good angsty AU check this one out! Thanks for the fanfiction! 💝

My Bellarke Secret Santa gift for @writetheniteaway 💙

Wishing you a very, very happy New Year!! Hope you enjoy reading this one & tysm for the prompt!

Written for #bellarkegifts2023, prompt of: "PTSD/nightmares/injuries... any of that sweet sweet angst". I took THE MOST angsty storyline and flipped it to a version that I hope y'all will enjoy. Bellamy + Clarke + stuck on a planet together, probably to die there. They both have a hard time with it.

Big thanks to @bellarke-events for organizing this great event! Fandom has gifted us so much fanfic to catch up on 🤩💕☺️🎉

Did someone say witchcraft?? Sounds like a truly magical AU! 😉 Thanks for the moodboard and fanfiction! 💝

“You could win an award when it comes to making my life so hard,” Bellamy complains, the hard line of his shoulder bearing uncomfortably into her belly as he makes to carry her down the hallway, “I literally do not understand. You hire me to help you balance out your magic, but you also do everything in your power to make everything harder on yourself. Which also means making everything harder on me.” “It’s not my fault,” Clarke groans, blanket-wrapped feet slung awkwardly atop the air, precariously missing accidentally kicking down the atrocious amount of artwork lining the hallway, “Christmas is my busiest season- I can’t not work.” Bellamy sighs, the rattling breath of passive frustration slipping into the soft muscle of her own belly, the uncomfortable position slung atop his shoulders cutting into the narrow expanse of her diaphragm. “You don’t have to not work, you just have to sleep. For once.”

Even more fanfic, heck yeah! We're being blessed with all kinds of stories! Thanks for the fanfiction! 💝

after the storm

Summary:

Bellamy and Clarke have been English professors in the same department for four years when Bellamy's ex-girlfriend comes to town as a visiting professor. She's been invited to read the short story that all but ruined Bellamy's life. Little does he know that Clarke has a history with Echo too and will do anything to get under her skin. Ensue an elaborate fake dating scheme designed to prove to Echo that she's wrong for what she wrote in her story and that she's wrong for what she did to Clarke.

The only problem? Bellamy and Clarke have been enemies since the day they met. If they're going to convince Echo they're together, then they'll have to get through the next few weeks without fighting. And if that's possible, then who knows what could happen next?

(my @bellarke-events gift for @dustinswill with academic rivals to lovers & fake dating bc why choose? happy holidays!)

Who says Christmas stories have to end just because it's January? No one, obviously! Thanks for the sneak peek! 💝

Happy New Year, everyone!

We hope the holiday season treated you well and that the rest of the year is good to you. Hopefully you were able to enjoy some nice holiday gifts as well!

Speaking of, if you participated in the event and are missing your gift with no word from your gift giver, please let us know and we'll get that sorted for you. We'll make sure you get a present, no worries!

Reblogs of gifts are still coming in and once we're sure every gift is accounted for we'll make another post to close everything up.

Once again, thank you to everyone who joined this year! We appreciate all the work you put in to make the holiday season extra special, you're the best! 🥳

Looking for something to read? Here's another fic from the event! Woo! 🎊 Thanks for the fanfiction! 💝

if you wanted me

Summary:

Objectively, Bellamy knows he fucked up. Trust him. If he was Clarke, he wouldn't want to talk to him right now either. She probably heard the entire rant from Octavia, right before she decided to run away from him and to her boyfriend, claiming that Bellamy was stifling.

(or: the @bellarke-events gift for @bellamyblake featuring hurt!Bellamy, stubborn!Octavia and lover!Clarke.)

First fluff fic of the event, let's go!!! We love some tropey holiday goodness! 🌲 Thank you for the fic and moodboard! 💝

That's all for now, thank you all for signing up for our Bellarke Holiday Gift Exchange!

We did it! Or should I say, you did it! Thank you so much to each and every person who signed up for our final event of the year! As stated above, the sign ups are now officially closed and Bellarke Holiday Gift Exchange is about to begin! Who's excited? 🤗🎊💞

So what's next? Next, it's our turn to do some work. We'll be matching you all with another participant for you to make a wonderful little gift for and you should get all that info within 48 hours of this post. If by then you haven't heard from us please feel free to get in touch with us about it and we'll figure it out. And after that, the event will have officially started! Yay!

Happy Holidays, folks! We hope the season has been going well for you all! For anyone interested, this post is to let you all know that this is your last chance to sign up for our Holiday Gift Exchange. The next post we share will be for the official closing of our sign-up form, so if you want to make someone's day with a little Bellarke gift, now is definitely the time!

Check out our blog for the details and then head on over here to sign up! You just fill out a couple quick things and then poof! You're all signed up! It's really that easy. Whether or not you join us, we hope you have a wonderful holiday season and we can't wait to share all the lovely gifts later this month! See you soon! 🥰🎊💝

Hey, you! Yes, you! 👀

Do you like fun fandom events? Do you miss Bellarke? Would you like to combine both of those things while spreading some holiday cheer around? Then why not join our Bellarke Holiday Gift Exchange?

You can create a fun little gift for someone this holiday season and get a gift in return! Sounds fun, right? There's still time to sign up and we'd love to have you join us! You can check out our blog for all the info, and click this little link here to sign up! We hope to see you soon, the more the merrier after all! ☺️💖🎁

You voted for it, so it's happening! The Bellarke Holiday Gift Exchange is here! Would you like to spread some holiday cheer in the fandom? Well then join us for some festive fun! Gifs, manips, fanvids, fanart, fanfic (did we miss anything?!) are all accepted! Details below!

How It Works:

Each person who signs up will receive the name and blog of another user here on Tumblr, as well as a few other tidbits to help them get an idea of what that user may like to see. After that, they will create a piece of work to be presented to that user between December 25th and January 1st. It's like Fandom Secret Santa, but a little more inclusive towards other holidays this time of year! (We do realize some of which may have passed by the 25th but we needed to give everyone time to come up with gifts!)

If you celebrate a different Holiday and feel comfortable disclosing that info, feel free to let your anonymous gift sender know! They could make something revolving around your holiday, or simply use the correct well wishes for you. It's the little things like this that can make someone's day!

How To Sign Up:

It's easy! There will be a form linked below we ask that you fill out. It's very short and simple this time, mostly just basic info on each user. Along with this, we will be adding a prompts section (ideas for your gifter) but these will be used as suggestions and are not requirements. After that we will make a post when sign-ups close and you will receive all the gift exchange info shortly after the apps are in!

Follow this link to join the Gift Exchange!

And that's it! Sign-Ups close December 10th at Midnight Pacific Time so sign up soon if you want to join. As stated above, gifts are expected between December 25th and January 1st, but as always extensions will be accepted as long as you can keep us updated. Our tag this time will be #bellarkegifts2023, make sure to use the tag so we can reblog your gift! We are happy to answer any questions, our inbox and IMs are always open. See you soon! 💝
