Clarphy

Clarphy is the het ship between Clarke and Murphy from the The 100 fandom.

Canon
THE VIOLENT SCAPEGOAT

Clarke and Murphy meet on the ground after landing in the drop ship and it's not a happy one. Murphy's part of Bellamy's militia and terrorises everyone, including harassing Wells until Finn stops him. Murphy hates Clarke on principle as she differs from the rest by being one of the rich kids, calling her Princess as a lot of the others also do. Murphy and Bellamy agree to tag along to save Jasper so they can get Clarke's wristband and Murphy's very antagonistic, almost looking for a fight at every turn.

Following Wells's death, people assume Murphy is the culprit as his knife was found near the site of the murder and he both threatened and fought Wells. As everyone hates Murphy and he's harassed a lot of people, it escalates into a group of people wanting to hang Murphy as punishment for Wells's murder. Clarke tries to stop everyone to no avail, but Charlotte confesses just in time for Finn to save Murphy. Following this Murphy swears to kill Charlotte and hunts her down as she has escaped with Finn and Clarke. After Charlotte jumps off the cliff, Bellamy tries to beat Murphy to death. Clarke saves his life saying they're not like The Ark, but decides that they should banish Murphy.

CO-OPERATION

When he returns having been tortured by the Grounders, Clarke cares for his physical wellbeing and keeps Bellamy from attacking Murphy. After Murphy gets sick and they realise they're suffering biological warfare, he gets better and starts helping out. Clarke acknowledges Murphy's contributions, which seems to make Murphy feel better about the camp. Although Clarke doesn't trust him, she says they could need more people to help out and it's because of her that Murphy's allowed to stay. Clarke also makes a point of saying that while she doesn't trust Murphy, she believes in second chances.

ENEMY TERRITORY

Clarke doesn't know of Murphy's murders until she and Finn make it back to camp, seeing a shot Raven and being told it was Murphy who has scarpered.

Fanon
Clarke and Murphy is a rare pair in the fandom, although they are part of the core group of people who have played a big role in all 5 seasons. Murphy was mostly an outlier character for the first 3 seasons and so multiple ships with Murphy have only gained popularity since Season 3.
