Summary
“We both need a girlfriend, and we’re both single,” Bela points out, gesturing between them. “So if we pretend—”
“This feels like the plot of a seriously bad rom-com.”
“Because it is.” And that idea is a little exciting, Bela has to say. “Come on! What do you think?"
Or: Bela and Taylor come to the conclusion that fake-dating will solve all their problems.
There's definitely no way this can go wrong.

Summary
She doesn’t sleep.
Not because she’s unsettled, but because she’s too settled. Too still. There’s a warm heaviness in her chest, and it’s not panic. That’s what scares her.
She thinks: God, I could do this every day.
She thinks: I want to do this every day.
She thinks: What if I need her?
But the voice that used to scream run is quiet now. It hasn’t disappeared. It’s just… hushed. Muted under the weight of Kara’s breathing and the way her fingers found Lena’s hip in sleep and haven’t moved since.
OR
Lena Luthor is a bolter. She has rules and lives her life by paradigms she holds onto, dearly. Lovers come (enthusiastically) and go (broken-hearted) and Lena rinses and repeats. And then, inevitably, the universe puts Kara Danvers in front of her and suddenly it's crystal clear - this is her person. This is it. And now, there is nothing - and no one - Lena wants to commit to more.

Summary
Kara says it like she’s reciting an old nursery rhyme. “When the sky turns silver, I’ll meet my soulmate.”
Lena stares at her. Kara takes another bite of noodles. “It’s Kryptonian prophecy. From Rao’s temple. We all get one.”
“And yours includes… color theory?” Lena tries to keep a straight face, which is proving to be more and more difficult with every passing second.
Kara shrugs. “It is very specific.”
Lena presses her fingers to her temples. “Darling... do you even hear yourself right now?”
“It’s not ridiculous,” Kara says. “My mother believed it.”
Lena makes a noise in the back of her throat. “Your mother also programmed a virtual AI to parent you from beyond the grave.”
“She was right about a lot of things.”
“You genuinely think your love life hinges on a cloud pattern?”
“Not a cloud. Light. The refraction has to hit a specific spectrum. A luminous silver, not grey.”
“Oh, well, as long as we’re being precise.” Lena says coolly.
OR
Kara spends years waiting for her prophecy to come true and tell her who her soulmate is. Lena spends years waiting for Kara to become her own prophet.

Summary
Lena looks up.
“The stars are stunning.” She says.
Kara turns her head. “So are you.”
Lena freezes - barely, but enough. A slight shift in posture, the almost-invisible tension of someone deciding whether to absorb or deflect.
Kara smirks.
“Oh my god,” she says. “Luthor, are you blushing?”
Lena turns sharply, but she’s not quick enough to hide the flush in her cheeks. “It’s the cold.”
“Sure.”
“I’m not blushing.”
“You’re emotionally photosensitive.”
“Danvers.”
OR
Kara returns to Midvale for a high school reunion, where she's bound to run into frenemy Lena Luthor. Everyone remembers how Lena used to give Kara hell as editor of student newspaper The Torch, which Kara dutifully wrote articles for. Kara mainly remembers Lena's jawline and precise hand movements and how her eyes shot daggers at anyone who defied her.

Summary
Lena drops her keys, shrugs off her coat, and kisses her without saying hello. Kara makes a soft noise, leans into it, pulls her in by the collar of her blazer like she forgot how to let go.
“You’re in love with me.” Lena murmurs, when they break apart.
Kara grins. “Don’t sound so smug.”
“I’m not smug,” Lena says. “I’m observant.”
Kara hooks her finger through the belt loop of Lena’s trousers. “You’re also mine.”
Lena doesn’t argue.
Later, in bed, Kara turns on her side and watches Lena sleep. Not for long, just long enough to memorize the shape of it again, the small weight of Lena’s arm curled under the pillow, the even rise of her breath.
“You’re gonna kill me.” She whispers.
Lena stirs, eyes still closed, voice low and automatic: “Not before I marry you.”
OR
Sometimes you just know, you know. So when it doesn't work out the first time around, Kara thinks it might work the second time. And if not then, then the third time. Right?

Summary
“Friends do not do what you and Rio did. And you and I certainly never have.”
“Me and Rio had—” Agatha pauses, her eyes sliding over to Teen, who has stolen one of her gelt and is nibbling on it, “—s-e-x one time. And then decided to be friends. Just friends. And have been friends ever since.”
"I’m seventeen,” Says Teen tiredly, “I know how to spell sex."
*
Or, after having sex once (or like three times, but who's counting, definitely not Agatha) Agatha and Rio decide to be friends. Just friends. They are amazing at it, obviously.

Summary
Recently, Ava had been watching Youtube videos on mindfulness in an effort to try to increase the percentage of her thoughts she was able to keep just in her head. That training was about to fail her spectacularly. “One of the nuns is kind of cute.”
Mary’s fingers paused mid stitch. Ava’s fork paused halfway to her mouth as her brain caught up with what she’d just said.
“Ava, what the fu—”
*
Or,
Ava has to spend several weeks in a church archive. The person running the archive is a nun, and also hot. She is totally normal and respectful about this.

Summary
Hazel wriggles out from under her somehow, and opens the door to the backseat. She holds it for PJ, just like she did with the the door to the school. Like they're in Cinderella and she's one of those weird mice that turns into a carriage servant or some shit.
If PJ blushes as she slides into Hazel's backseat, hopefully the dark of the parking lot hides it.
Hazel gets in after her.

Summary
A strand of dark hair falls across Hazel's face and before she really thinks about it, PJ is reaching out and gently smoothing it back into place. She regrets it almost immediately and recoils- what the fuck does she think she's doing, being all soft and, like, tender or whatever? They aren’t together. They aren’t even dating. Get a grip, she tells herself sternly.
In other words: PJ and Hazel, reeling in the aftermath.

Summary
“I’m not! I—“ PJ bites on it for a second, “I was just intrusively thinking about kissing you over and over. Which isn’t that weird—“
“What?!”
“It’s not that weird!” PJ defends. “I mean, out of everything you just threw out there, this is probably the least bad for you.”
Hazel covers her mouth with both hands. “What the fuck.”
“I’m sorry you’re a good kisser?” PJ says. “Fuck, I dunno!”
Hazel stays like that for a second, then removes her hands to cross them over her chest, and PJ realizes Hazel wasn’t covering her mouth, she was trying to cover her face because it had gone beat red.
(Aka, after a few weeks have past and PJ still can’t get that one kiss out of her head, she decides to just keep kissing Hazel until the problem goes away.)

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
Ava’s mouth drops open. “Me? I’d have to move out? No way. I’m basically built into the woodwork at this point.” She jabs a finger at Bea. “You jump, I jump. What’s that one line you like, from Ruby?”
“Ruth,” Bea corrects quietly. “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you,” she quotes. “Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.”
Ava nods with an air of finality. “You’re my forever-roomate, Beatrice. Where you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay.”
Bea smiles, eyes on the floor for a moment before they meet Ava’s. “Okay. I suppose I can live with that.”

Summary
There’s a pause, and then Wednesday speaks again. “I admit that I do have one ulterior motive in asking you to visit for the holidays.”
Enid laughs, unsurprised; there’s the Wednesday she knows, even a phone line and a coast away. “Yeah? What is it?”
“I told my parents that I’m in a relationship,” Wednesday says, offhand, like it’s just another sentence and not a lightning strike to Enid’s heart. "With you, specifically."

The thing is, Kate doesn’t really expect to see Yelena again. Sure, they shared a pot of mac and cheese and solved one case together, but that’s hardly a binding contract. There’s nothing solid tying the two of them together, even if Kate wishes there were.
And yet, despite this, Yelena keeps coming back. Kate’s still not quite sure why.
