    Summary

    “It’s a lot easier for me to keep my grip on you when I can actually feel your body.”

    The phrase feel your body said in Kara’s voice rattles around in Lena’s head like a pinball machine, but she manages to shrug her sweater off and throw it somewhere behind them before she can second-guess herself. Kara is looking comfortable in a loose white t-shirt, and when she takes Lena by the waist and puts Lena’s hand on her shoulder the texture of it is light and soft.

    “Let’s start from square one,” Kara says, so kindly that her next words take a few seconds to register in Lena’s brain. She tightens her grip on Lena’s waist, and says with full confidence:

    “Dancing is a lot like sex.”

    OR

    Against her better judgement Lena agrees to compete on Dancing with the Stars for the PR boost. When her chemistry with her partner Kara gets misconstrued by the press, there’s obviously only one solution.

    AKA, a Dancing with the Stars/Fake Dating AU.

    Summary

    “I’m sure.” Lena doesn’t mean to snap —it’s more of a mild annoyance if anything because if her once best friend doesn’t know that there is no way in hell she would be doing this if she didn’t want to, if she didn’t, however unwillingly, trust Kara with this, then did she ever know her at all? “As long as you’re amenable, Kara, I’m offering my complete consent. Is that okay, or would you like it in writing as well?”

    For the first time, Lena’s snipe and the crystal clear memory of their last phone call just makes Kara smile. “I’m good,” she says softly.

    “Good.”

    “You know, a week ago, the morning after we— I’d convinced myself it was a dream. I was scared to check my call log.”

    “Do you have many wet dreams about me, Kara?”

    Kara laughs suddenly, though she can’t help but feel like she’s been missing out on an essential experience. “No.”

    “Shame.”

    “You, uh, you hung up last time,” Kara ventures hesitantly. “Before I could…”

    “If you’re worried I didn’t complete the mission, I’m happy to inform you that I did.”

    “No, before I could tell you that you sounded beautiful.”

    Or, the one with phone sex and feelings and the complexity of forgiveness.

    Summary

    Lena lets out a careful breath and says, “James and I have decided to end our— association.”

    What a perfectly weird and roundabout way to describe the end of a romantic relationship, Kara thinks. “Oh?” she says, aptly demonstrating her own comparative lack of eloquence.

    It earns her one of Lena’s crinkly smiles at least, affection clear on her best friend’s face. “Should I feel offended that you don’t seem all that surprised?” she flusters.

    “No,” Kara says, “I am,” and she is, is the thing, she's actually stunned, but she’s something else, much more than that.

    She’s elated.

    “Bummer,” Kara says.

    -

    In which Kara makes a tiny new enemy, Alex has an actual functioning gaydar, and Lena breaks up with James only to immediately start seeing someone else. And Kara is fine! Except for the part where she’s really, really not.
