Summary
"Clarke had two things going through her mind then. The first was that in a crooked way, she’d left the best impression she could have, and so she might not be completely screwed.
The second was that she had unknowingly asked the Commander out on a date.
“State your requests, Clarke kom Skaikru.” She leaned forward, and though her expression was serious, Clarke could see a malicious twinkle in her eyes. “You have my attention.”
--
in which clarke is just trying to take a break, but suddenly a grounder which she didn't even know existed is in dire need of medical attention.
it is a fortunate thing clarke is good at improvising.
(featuring: high accuracy science and intense peace negotiations)

Summary
One day he looks up from the scaffolding and realizes that he’s almost exactly at Jaeger height and has to wrap his hand tight against the metal to keep from stepping out into the air. Not because he wants to kill himself or anything, just because for a split second his mind felt that old equilibrium and he just knew he should be able to, should be able to walk straight across the valley in front of him and out into the sea and on forever until he finds whatever’s next.

Summary
Five-year-old Newt blinks at his reflection in the mirror, tracing the backwards letters over his heart with the tip of his right index finger. H-E-R-M-A-N-N.
A strong German name, his father says with approval. Newt doesn’t fully understand until later what the mark means.
