18 Most Romantic Moments from ‘The 100’
6. Monty and Harper show everyone how to live
This soft moment between Monty and Harper is one of the best and most underrated scenes from The 100 Season 5 Episode 8 “How We Get to Peace.” These lovebirds are still as smitten with each other as the first day they got together.
The world has dealt them both their fair share of heartache, but they still see the good in it while everyone around them is marching to war.
Monty: Will you still love me if I’m just a farmer?
The darkness is doing its best to swallow up everyone still at the bunker, as well as anyone who ever lived there. But Monty and Harper are determined to find the light. Can they have the chance to live happily ever after on a little algae farm and a lot of love?
5. Clarke and Lexa decide life is about more than just surviving
Clarke and Lexa had one of the most beautiful star-crossed romances of our time, and this first kiss between them is nothing short of breathtaking.
Clarke: Maybe life should be about more than just surviving. Don’t we deserve better than that?
Lexa: Maybe we do.
Here Clarke shares one of the most important mission statements of the show, it’s important to survive, but it’s just as important to live. We later learn that Lexa, and all commanders, are taught to guard their hearts because love is weakness, so this moment of vulnerability speaks volumes for her. And it gives Clarke hope for a future where they can be happy.
4. Murphy and Emori redefine home
If you had told us at the beginning of The 100 Season 1 that one of the best relationships on the show during Season 4 would be the one John Murphy is in, we might have laughed in your face.
But The 100 loves to surprise us; Murphy and Emori trying to find their place in a world that’s cast them aside with nothing but some duct tape and a half-baked scheme is easily a highlight of Season 4.
Emori: I never felt like that before, like I had a home.
Murphy: Hey, your home is with me. Okay?
Murphy and Emori have learned that what makes a home isn’t four walls and a roof, but the warm hearts and loving arms of the people who care about you.
3. Kane takes Abby’s place in the arena
Our first look at Kane and Abby after the time jump shows us that they are more in love than ever, but that they’ve also been broken by life underground and under Blodreina’s rule.
Complications from healing Abby’s post-City of Light brain damage have left her dependent on painkillers. While Kane finds himself lost, in a world that has become more bloodthirsty than he can stomach. The fact that they can still find hope and love within each other is a small miracle in the bunker.
Kane chooses to take Abby’s place in the arena because her life is so much more precious to him than his own, that he would literally die for her. But Abby equally cannot stand the idea of life without him.
Indra: You were right to have me lock her up. He knew you’d confess to try to save him. The only way to save you both is for him to win.
Now that they’ve escaped Octavia and the bunker, will they be able to end Abby’s addiction and the ever approaching war to find that second chance they’ve been hoping for? If their love can withstand the things they went through with Wonkru, it’s strong enough to handle anything.
2. Lexa promises to always be with Clarke
Losing Lexa was devastating to both Clarke and The 100 itself, but their time together in the City of Light allowed for some much-needed closure.
Clarke: I love you.
Lexa: I’ll always be with you.
Having Lexa back even for only a few hours, allows Clarke to tell her how she feels and allows Lexa to leave Clarke with a promise of hope. Now they know that their love transcends time and space. Lexa saves Clarke, and Clarke continues their legacy by saving the human race.
Clarke carries Lexa and the love they shared forever in her heart.
1. Kane and Abby choose to weather the storm together
Maybe it’s the soft guitar music, maybe it’s the abundance of romance tropes that conspired to make this moment, or maybe it’s the way that everything Kane says to Abby on this scene sounds like a wedding vow. But Kane and Abby’s reconciliation on The 100 Season 5 Episode 2 “Red Queen” is one of the most romantic things we’ve ever seen.
At the end of The 100 Season 4, Kane and Abby each make the selfish choice to save the other. Kane saving Abby goes against her wish to give up her spot for someone else, and Abby saving Kane sends 300 other members of Skaikru to their deaths.
Kane: I couldn’t bear to lose you. The world was ending before our very eyes and I thought I could weather any storm as long as you were by my side.
At this moment, they both realize the gravity of their love for each other. Kane and Abby would choose each other over everyone else and no matter the cost, as long as it meant that the other would live. And they’ll keep choosing each other over and over again.
Kane: How could you ever think that I would be able to carry you outside and shut the door? I’m sorry Abby but I’m not that strong. I would do the same thing a thousand times.
When Abby makes the choice to overcome her addiction, Kane will be right there by her side, and they’ll weather whatever storms the future has in store, together.

So many beautiful moments between all these amazing couples. The Clexa moments especially made me a bit teary-eyed, I miss them.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the list! And thank you for reading, I miss them too!
For me Kabby is the best couple of the the 100 and the all show Because they have grown up together during all these seasons, they have left behind their differences and have looked after the future of their people, always what they create correct to save the life from the people that love, both do there is crosswise they have known how to look toward the future of his errors, to learn the one of the other one and what’s more import it is both chose to die to save the life from the other one and of his people. And all the moments of this couple are my favorite because in all thous moment they show they love for the other one.
I have a few romantic moments: Finn tells Clarke that everything he did was for her & all that mattered to him was that she was safe, him telling her that he loves her, Clarke crying over Finn’s unconscious body telling him she can’t do this without him, and their final kiss, love you, and him saying thank princess. Also, pretty much any moment between Echo and Bellamy but when they kiss in front of Octavia & Clarke, them cuddling by the fire, their first kiss, & Bellamy saying if Echo leaves then he’s leaving with her. Octavia & Levitt, Hope & Jordan. Clarke tending to Lexa’s wounds after her fight & Clarke drawing Lexa. Murphy and Emori in his mind drive. Finn arranging Raven’s spacewalk.
My favorite scene is when Lexa bowed to Clarke in private swearing to treat her needs as her own and her people as hers. As ruthless as she was… this was the one time she was at her most vulnerable and she didn’t show it to a crowd of ambassadors but just to Clarke. It was like saying: “This is who I am. And you are the one who gets to see me.”
