LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT: Ares Ortega did not murder that guy. But, according to the Ark's Council, a poorly-mannered sixteen-year-old boy waking up in a pool of blood beside a dead body with a knife in his hand is enough proof of guilt to incarcerate him. And blaming the asshole kid with mommy issues is easier than believing a word out of his mouth.

So now he's rotting in a cell, waiting to be released into space on his eighteenth birthday for a crime he didn't commit. Or, at least, that's how it's supposed to go.

What Ares doesn't know is that the Ark's oxygen supply is failing. Because of that, a hundred prisoners are going to be sent to the ground to see if it's inhabitable, including him. It's practically an earlier death sentence if they don't make it to the ground or die instantly from the toxic environment. And if they do, that's fine, because a bunch of criminals are seen as expendable, anyway.

Earth has more problems than radiation poisoning, though, and Ares figures that out the hard way when a skinny boy with goggles is speared through the chest on their second day on the planet that was their ancestors' home.

meet the cast!

a/n:

i know what you're thinking. kristyn, why did you start a new the 100 fic when you've been having writer's block with rupture? why would you do that to yourself? and the answer is: i have no self-control. i was originally going to post this in my plot shop, but then i was like, holy shit, i'm too in love with this idea to give it to anyone else, now. i fell in love with ares while creating his character and now i can't let him go. also, i'm shocked wattpad hasn't discovered benjamin wadsworth yet because he's a fine specimen on deadly class and he's a very good actor!!

also, yes, i technically do already have an oc who is raven's love interest, but sorry caleb, ares is coming to steal yo girl (this relationship is going to be totally different, anyway).

this fic is likely going to collect dust until i'm ready to start writing for it, so just be warned.

+ the idea for the little moodboards comes from Iydiamartin, my ultimate favorite person ever!!
