Summary
“I know you like to think the best of people, but you don't know them like I do,” Kal broke in, “I know you remember Lex and I used to be best friends, just like you and Lena used to be. For years Lex seemed to be nothing but an upstanding businessman and humanitarian, until one day he wasn't. It wasn't until it was too late that I realized he might never have been my friend at all. I know you have a hard time accepting the same might be true of Lena, but I don't want you making the same mistake I made.”
Kara took special care in returning her belongings to her bag, careful not to break anything, before taking a deep breath and responding, “I know how you feel about them, Kal, but Lena doesn't read that way to me. Not when I met her, not for the years we were friends, and not now.”
Or
Season 2 if Kara and Lena had met years previously and were friends for years before everything went down between Superman and Lex. Kal and Alex are sure that Lena will eventually follow the same path as Lex, but Kara is convinced that she knows better.

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
Yelena’s eyes studied her, the intensity branding Kate’s skin in a way she’d never be able to forget. She smelled like expensive perfume and warmth and Kate was drowning in it.
Coldness pressed between them when Yelena stepped away from her.
“You do not belong here. You will get yourself killed and that is not my problem if you die because you are stupid.”
Yelena turned and walked toward the door of Kate’s room, careless, like she had no qualms about a counter-attack; like nothing Kate could do would ever pose a threat to her.

Summary
Lena doesn’t like secrets.
Kara’s not a fan of them either, especially after her most important secret had nearly brutalized their relationship beyond repair. She doesn’t regret the labor of love that went into proving herself to Lena again and eventually regaining that friendship-- and how it made them closer, stronger at the core, like the threads of their bond were made of the same steel as Supergirl-- but she regrets the pain it caused for the both of them. She never wants to hurt Lena, much less with a secret. Kara promised to never keep those from her again.
But… she doesn’t really know how to navigate this one, in particular.Bookmarked by Cntalt

Summary
Lena slides off of her stool, throwing self-preservation to the wind and flinging the door open without looking through the peephole first.
Kara’s wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a sweatshirt Lena vaguely remembers borrowing in what feels like another lifetime. Her hands are in her pockets and her head is dipped forward, but her eyes are looking up at Lena, and there’s an air of uncertainty to her that Lena hasn’t seen in nearly a year. It steals the breath from her lungs and the words from her mouth, and her lips part wordlessly as they watch each other across the threshold.
“Hi,” Kara says softly.
Her weight shifts to rest unevenly on one leg as she looks at Lena, and Lena remembers how easy it was to talk to her, once.
