^yeah definitely. they'll 100% have to start working together; that's not even a question. they're leaders of their people, there's a threat, they're gonna have to start working together to deal with said threat, especially if the skaikru get dragged into it (which it looks like they're well on their way to being so :///). there's going to be animosity between them, but they'll have to work together. clarke will have to put aside whatever animosity she feels toward lexa for the time being. i think it was in an interview somewhere, it may have been eliza, but the gist of it was that in a world like the 100 there's no room for holding grudges. for instance, we don't know too much about the ice nation/nia and lexa's relationship, but lexa clearly put her conflict with nia enough to have the ice nation to join her coalition, and it's held for *that* long. (obviously not now in s3, but that's besides the point.) same with lexa and clarke: lexa's decision @ mount weather will certainly not be forgotten, nor should it, but if lexa/clarke want the survival of their people to be of paramount importance...well. and quite frankly i think that clarke at least understands what lexa did at mount weather; she doesn't like it, obviously, but she understands it. that's part of the reason why she took the betrayal so personally; not simply on the behalf of her people, but on her own self.

look, i could go on all about how clarke and lexa's leadership positions make their relationship unique among every other relationship in the show and how that ties in with clexa, but the point is, i'm not saying that clarke should "forgive and forget," but simply that there's a certain degree of leniency that has to be given to certain events that happen in this world. clarke knows that, lexa knows that. it doesn't sound like a good reason, but it's enough of one.

tldr: they'll make up.
