I don't think you need to worry about starting a shipping war, seeing as there have always been few users on the wiki and even fewer during the hiatus.

Anyway, I love how Bellamy and Clarke can work together. In S1, I hated Bellamy but throughout the seasons it was Clarke who helped him develop as a leader and become more selfless. I started liking him towards the ending of Season Two. The thing is, their partnership is so perfect that them going out with each other would ruin everything, especially since Clarke has kept things from him in the past. She couldn't even be bothered to get Octavia out of Tondc. She lied to Bellamy. She went behind his back. She betrayed his trust, even though it was him that was risking his life for her and the rest of their people. You may argue that leaving Octavia to die was for a "greater good" but it wasn't so much that. It was more so that she didn't consult Bellamy before she made the choice to let one of their people die. Not to mention that Octavia is Bell's brother. Even though I'm 100% sure Bell wouldn't let O die even if it meant his cover would be blown, but partners don't go behind each other's backs and make decisions without consulting one other first. Personally, if I was Bell, I wouldn't be able to trust Clarke again, or at least not for some time.

I love Clexa. Their chemistry was there from the moment they met in 2x07. However, they suffer from lack of trust, as well. Lexa didn't trust Clarke about letting Octavia live, and went behind her back to try and kill her. The whole betrayal at Mount Weather was the last straw. It was justifiable. Any good leader would have done what Lexa did, but not any good lover. They both start with "L" but they have two totally different meanings. If you love somebody, I believe you should put them before everyone and everything else, including yourself. That might sound selfish, but I think that when you enter a relationship with somebody, you make a promise to sacrifice anything you have to in order to keep them safe. Call me out for being selfish; I don't give a shit lol. Anyway, you said it perfectly. Lexa, as long as she's still the leader, will never put Clarke first. It will always be her people first, like a good leader but a not-so-good lover. There lies the problem and obstacle with that relationship.

Personally, as much as I love Lexa (and Clexa) and am beginning to like Bellamy, I still wouldn't want to be in either of those relationships.
