Summary
The woman on Lena’s doorstep is, quite frankly, the most confusing person she’s ever seen.
At first glance she looks like every other housewife Lena has ever encountered. She’s wearing a reddish-brown skirt and a plain yellow blouse, her blonde hair in a stiff updo and her eyes magnified by large eyeglasses, and her makeup is well-applied if a little outdated. If she was standing further away Lena would have guessed that she was in her early forties at least, but after a more thorough look, Lena would be surprised if the visitor was much older than herself.
The woman’s smile looks a little fixed and her eyes are wide as saucers, staring at Lena silently. Lena clears her throat.
“…Can I help you?”
OR
Lena moves to the suburbs in the spring of 1969 to insulate herself from the world. To avoid getting hopelessly entangled with a married woman ever again. She can keep her head down, host some parties to get her needs met, and disappear.
Enter, Kara Danvers.

Now it’s up to Kara to succeed where her peers failed, picking up her old mantel after hiding away for centuries…

Summary
A bakery/bookstore au. To clarify: the one where Kara owns a pastry shop and Lena owns the neighboring bookstore. This fic was really just an excuse to write about pastries I personally want to try making. And soft supercorp. Rating is for mild language and some alcohol.

Summary
Kara had planned to do something extravagant for her and Lena’s two year anniversary. Something nice, or private, or extra special for just the two of them. Eliza’s house in Midvale with Alex, Kelly, Esme, Sam, and Ruby did not fall into any of those categories.

Summary
Kara has officially decided: Lena Luthor is her hot girl bummer.
College AU where Kara and Lena can’t stand each other, but still end up sleeping together every weekend. It turns into friends with benefits. And then, someone catches feelings.. . . . . . .
“Love can’t really be kept though,” Kara says. “It can only be given.”
“To give something is to lose something,” Lena retorts.
“No, it’s not,” Kara says, and Lena can practically feel her frowning. “It’s … to trust, to trust that you’ll get it back.”

Summary
“What do you want?” the woman spoke, her voice making Kara shiver and giving her goosebumps on her entire flesh.
“I need your help, and I will do anything for it. I’ll sell my soul to you if I have to,” she laid it all out.
The woman regarded Kara from top to bottom, then she leaned into the blonde, “Does that make me the devil?”
“I-, I…” Kara didn’t know what to say. She hadn’t thought this part through. Maybe she hadn’t thought any part through beyond coming here and asking for what she needed. “Are- are you the witch?” she managed to utter.

Kara seeks a witch's help to heal her sick sister.

Summary
For an immortal, finding peace in a slow and lengthy existence can often drive one to unending boredom and recklessness. With the world progressing and warping into a ball of wire and plastics and technology, that once boundless territory is choked and hard to find. There are still some pockets of wildness left in this realm to exist in, and that is where the Morrigan has tucked herself away. In a small cozy home on the far rocks of the Faroes, she has finally found peaceful refuge after centuries of turmoil just on the edge of modern humanity. Lonely and far from her true home she keeps to herself, until one evening her life is upended again in the form of a fiery Fae and broken wards.

Summary
“Argo City,” J'onn said with a laugh, speaking for the first time since the duo stepped inside his study. “You do know that city isn’t real. It’s fictional. A myth meant to scare off children from wandering west of Kandor.”
“Yes, I’ve heard all about the city that had been protected by the curse of the Worldkillers." Lena always thought the curse was a ploy meant to ward others away. "But I’ve done a lot of research on the matter and I believe the city itself was not merely a myth.”

Summary
“Who the hell are you? And what are you doing in my part of the woods?”
Kara jumped to her feet, startling the dog, and turned toward the angry voice. Based on the tone, she expected some gruff old Italian woman and she tried her best to remember the few Italian words she had learned for this trip, but when she spotted a young woman who was all sharp jaw and proud posture eying her suspiciously, all words died on her tongue.
“Um,” she stammered, her hand still scratching the dog who was sitting next to her. “I’m lost.”
The woman raised an eyebrow and scoffed. “Ah. Let me guess. American tourist out for a walk and you couldn’t read the signs for how to get back to town?”

Summary
“Damn it,” Alex grumbles, kicking at an empty chair until it skids across the floor. “Come on, guys. There has to be someone who can go undercover. Any woman under 30 at this bureau who can put on some makeup and twirl in a circle.”
And then all eyes, inexplicably, go to Kara.
“Who?” Kara asks, looking back and forth between Alex and Vasquez and surreptitiously brushing the Cheeto dust from her pants. “Who is it, guys?”
But Alex and Vasquez just keep staring at her silently, matching grins on their faces, and after a few seconds the horrible truth dawns on her. Kara blinks, looking down at herself and then back up at them.
“But…I’m 31?”

To help her sister foil an attack on the Miss United States pageant, Kara needs to go undercover. There’s only one problem – she’s never been ladylike a day in her life. What starts as a reluctant favour leads Kara to real friendship, growth, and Lena Luthor, all under the watchful eye of the pageant spotlight.

Summary
“Sorry. What’s your name?” Kara lowers the last bite of her hot dog. “You know mine, it’s only fair.”
The woman shifts her weight, pursing her lips and seeming to think about it. “I’m Lena,” she offers at last, watching Kara’s face.
“Well, it’s nice to meet you, Lena.” Kara gives her an enormous smile.
“Likewise.” Lena smiles back, then takes a breath. “I hope this isn’t the last time we talk.”
“Me, either.”
Kara watches Lena go, sees her pause at the street, then dart across awkwardly in her heels. “Lena,” she says to herself, trying it out. She goes to take another bite of her hot dog and feels the ketchup drip from her thumb, dropping into her lap.
Or:
Kara Danvers is in a slump: she’s just been fired from her job as a producer for a local news show, and she can’t get a single call back from prospective employers. But an offer from Luthor Broadcasting Corporation to help save their failing morning show might be just the thing she needs to turn it all around.
Based on the movie Morning Glory.

Summary
Kate Bishop is 10 years old when she hears the voice for the very first time.
It's rare to hear it so young (she learns this later) and she doesn't understand the significance quite yet, but there's something about it that's exciting. Incredible, even, which is a word she doesn't use often but she's pretty sure is appropriate for this.

Kate/Yelena are soulmates and can communicate telepathically until their first in-person meeting. This is the story of their relationship through the years, their first meeting, and what happens next.

Summary
Kara craves Lena. That's the crux of it. Her friendship is intoxicating, like a drug. She thinks she wouldn't mind kissing her on the lips, because a lot of best friends who are really really close kiss on the lips. It's just something humans do. Having that part of Lena hidden away from her, it makes Kara feel some kind of way.
She wishes Lena was even the slightest bit interested in her. That she would notice her broad shoulders when they work out, or touch her jaw with the pads of her fingers to get her attention.
But that’s not who Kara is to Lena. She would be jealous but they’re just friends, best friends, so.
She’s not.
At all.
Maybe a teeny-weeny bit, but that’s all.
