    Summary

    There was a reason Kara left Metropolis to become a firefighter at National City, and for three years, she'd been doing pretty well. That was until her past came barging back into her life in the form of Lena Luthor.

    -

    "Good to see you again, Lena."

    "No, it's not, Kara."

    "No, no, it's not. But we will be seeing each other, like it or not."

    -

    or Kara is a firefighter and Lena is a doctor, and they never expected to be back in each other's lives until they are, so it's Complicated with a capital C.

    Summary

    “Help me understand,” Kara says. “Are you saying everyone falls in love with their best friend?”

    “I’m saying that queer women have a special affinity for it,” Lena repeats, fishing the cherry out of the bottom of her drink. “The whole ‘falling for your straight best friend’ is basically a rite of passage.”

    “Says who?”

    “Everyone.” She puts the cherry in her mouth, bites it off the stem. “The L Word was like, built on the premise that a friend group of queer woman in LA dated each other in some sort of terrible repeating circle for, god, however many seasons that went on. And it’s been my experience that when two people are attracted to each other, and they’re close, feelings are likely to develop.”

    “That’s just, I mean, come on.” Kara’s cheeks are a little pink. “A trope and a tv show? That’s your evidence?”

    “So you’ve never been in love with your best friend?” Lena looks down at her empty glass.

    “No!” Kara sounds affronted. “No, I have never been in love with my best friend.”

    Or, A love story, told in three acts.

    Summary

    because lena luthor – despite her family’s very best efforts – is a good person, she does not spend the night thinking impure thoughts about sports bras and yoga mats and thighs that could probably, given half the chance, crack her skull like a walnut.

    Summary

    Lena hated herself; she hated herself for just watching as her mother died besides her, she hated herself for not being able to save her father, she hated herself for not being able to save those thousands of innocent lives taken by Lex, she hated herself for betraying her family and for breaking Jack's heart. She hated herself for breathing, she hated herself for existing when everybody around her either died or left. She was cursed, just like her mother had said.

    So now she was here, twenty-four years old and all alone with not a soul to talk to, touch-starved and possibly senile as she drank away her memories one glass of wine at a time.

    And maybe that's why, when a meteorite - small in comparison to the vast of the quickly darkening sky but made up for by the colourful flames that brightened the sea of blue around it as it trailed behind the meteorite - caught in the corner of Lena's vision, the young woman couldn't help but do a triple take and then promptly fall off her couch.

    Or,

    Kara is much older when her planet dies and she's sent to Earth to look after her baby cousin, and instead of Superman finding her, Lena Luthor does.
