Never regret thy fall, O Icarus of the fearless flight. For the greatest tragedy of them all is never to feel the burning light.

— Oscar Wilde

One hundred children are sent to the ground to see if the Earth is viable after a nuclear apocalypse tore apart what was left of humanity.

CASEY
Wanna make out, Bellamy?

BELLAMY
Not right now, Sunshine.
Maybe when you're not so drunk.

CASEY
Well, I don't think Sober Casey
wants to make out with you.

CASEY KING WAS A day from turning eighteen when she and the other ninety-nine juveniles aboard the Ark are sent to the ground. Their lives are sacrificed to determine if the rest of their people will survive the journey down. 

On the ground, Casey is reunited with best friend, John Murphy, and is separated from her mother. She is desperate to keep her family together, but ever since she was arrested it seems she struggles to do just that. Especially when she comes across the man who she claims to have ruined her life: Bellamy Blake. 

Casey struggles to find her place in the group as she and Bellamy go head-to-head in their ideals on what they should be prioritizing to survive. However, they are quickly surrounded by those survived the initial bombings on Earth and have to find a way to maintain peace before they end up killing each other instead.

UPDATE SCHEDULE.

Once a week, mostly on the weekends! 

I'm also posting my Umbrella Academy fic, and just to make things easier for my brain, that one will have priority. I know that one is going to be significantly shorter in chapters. Since I'll only be writing to season 3 and this is likely going to season 6/7 (not sure yet since... season 7 is my enemy). 

AUTHOR'S NOTE.

Guys... I can't believe I'm bringing this bitch back. I am fully editing, re-posting, re-formatting, this entire story. It originally went up in 2019, hasn't been touched since 2022, and now I just daily think about Bellamy and Casey. I've had all the way to season 7 planned since I started and I just need to WRITE IT. 

Sadly, since I'm editing everything, all the comments are gonna get obliterated from the inline section which makes me really sad, but you'll hopefully get a better story out of it. Because I was reading my season 3 stuff and woo... I can just tell by reading that I was burnt out.

I'm also going to try to put all seven seasons in this book? Maybe? If not, I'll probably split it at season 4 rather than season 2. So, old chapters I posted are going to be a lot longer now and I'll be using old chapters with old comments and reads because... I earned those and I want them to public. 

Anyway, I love Casey and Bellamy so much. I love Casey and everyone so much. I love this story so much. And I just want to share it with you all again!

DEDICATIONS.

Thank you to everyone who supported this fic in my past. Especially bloodheir and moonyslantsov of whom I owe a lot of this fic previously being published, too. They deserve this to be finished!! Even if they don't come back to read ahaha! I just want to finish Casey's story because of how much they encouraged me back in the day <3

Thank you to jakesperaltas, always, for listening to me. Bellamy and Casey are her parents, if you didn't know. Also, Cleo Huang is her OC for a different fic we wrote together but never published. You can also find a variant of Cleo in her glee fic called Paper Rings!

And thank you to recordplayer and laurasdrey for supporting this fic today! <3
