    Summary

    When ICE come to CatCo and reveal that someone has tipped them off that Kara Danvers is an illegal alien extraterrestrial, there's a scramble to try to figure out how to get Kara a greencard.

    Alex would do anything for Kara, has done everything for Kara. But entering into a sham marriage with her to sponsor her immigration petition might be a little too much. Or maybe the problem is that it isn't enough at all.

      comment from someone:
      ```

      i want to key smash and then copy every line from this fic its so wonderful. you take this trope that's generally meant to be humorous (or angsty) and make it feel so incredibly organic, where i could absolutely buy this happening in canon. and then, instead of just making it about sex, or pining, you explore all the facets of alex and kara's relationship - not shying away from the fact they are sisters and not discounting the intimacy they already share. i also appreciate alex' journey to accepting her feelings for kara was more complex than, 'oh i have repressed my lesbian desires for my alien sister.' im not saying i dislike that dynamic, i've seen it done beautifully, it was just refreshing to watch a different journey.

      and i adored lucy in this, her comment about how alex would be happy with a lifetime of platonic intimacy was so true to both characters. i will always love the way you write alex. her complexities, her infinite capacity to love other people while destroying herself, but also, kara in this. i want to frame some parts of this fic because this is what so much of fandom misses - how weary kara is, how well she knows herself, because she has to, she's spent her whole life on earth conscious of every breath, every touch, every movement she makes in order to fit in. this is absolutely going on my list of favorite fics.

      some highlights i loved:

      //She'd be mad if Kara couldn't be herself, even just a little bit. Maybe that meant she'd encouraged Kara to be careless about her powers--careless enough that someone she worked with would notice she wasn't quite normal.// i love how you're able to capture the way alex loves kara and hates herself for that love all at the same time.

      //Kara's face fell. "I never don't think about Krypton."...I don't know what it means to be a Kryptonian on Earth. I don't know what there is that I can keep."// yes. i wish i had something more articulate but this, right here.

      //What was marriage anyway? If you stripped out all of the nonsense, it was just building a family, no more or less emotional than an adoption or a birth. There was nothing fake about Kara being her family.// aah this is why this fic is so wonderful because its not fake at all.

      //"If I could give you back your family, I'd give my life to give that to you."

      "No." Kara's hand gripped hers so tight her bones creaked. "It wouldn't be worth it. Nothing is worth losing you."// alex wants to give kara the world and kara just wants alex. i hate them.

      t h e b a t h s c e n e

      really everything with alex's self doubt and feeling like she needs to be punished. and kara's wisdom and understanding. so so wonderful.

    Summary

    Lena has just left Kara in an ice cage with the green rock making its way through her veins. How does this change Kara? Will she get past it?

    Lena feels betrayed by her “friends” and annoyed that agent Danvers emails her every day and she knows that she follows her sometimes. She just isn’t sure of her intentions.

    Summary

    "For a moment, Alex is fifteen and quiet and content, lying on the bed of a pick-up truck and falling in love with the voice of a girl she's just met."

    Or,

    Alex and Maggie meet at a local fair and have a night of pure magic (and then bump into each other a decade later)
