Summary
“She’s besotted with us, isn’t she?” Lisa says, amused. “Not that I mind. It’s nice, you know? Kids seeing queer relationships in public and thinking nothing of it.”
She gestures vaguely between them, “Even if that’s not what this is.”
OR What if Carla never said, “Don’t get dressed,” and the sapphic yearning continued?

Summary
“Have you made a list?” She’d asked. And waited and waited and waited. At one in the morning, her legs were asleep, and Jane was drunk, head lolling back against the fridge. The soup never got made. The beer stained the wall. Jane listed them for her, the ones she knew:
• Touching her shoulders from behind. Her wrists. Her hands. Her neck.
• Dark rooms.
• Rooms with no windows.
• Going down the stairs.
• “Janie.”
• Her own perfume: lavender.
• Knifes. Needles. When someone else was holding them.
• The scent of uncooked meat. Mothballs. GasolinePost-Hoyt. Pre-1x01. Rizzles.

Summary
“Kara,” Lena’s voice called for her again, softer this time. Finally, her eyelids fluttered open, blue eyes staring directly into green. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
She could cry (and she was not very confident she hadn’t already), but she stopped herself as the words I can't look at you anymore without my heart breaking rang in her mind. Instead, she simply shrugged, even as her heart broke at seeing the warmth in Lena’s eyes directed at her again for the first time. “What was there to tell?”
“You told the DEO not to ask for my help. Why not?”
She sighed, not wanting to have this conversation at the sink. But Kara thought it made sense, for her to continue not getting what she wanted. “Why did you come?”
OR
Lena finds out Kara is Supergirl, they have a fall out, and then Kara loses her powers indefinitely.

Summary
Fatumsomnambulism is a syndrome that causes soulmates to sleepwalk to each other. It only affects a small portion of the population, leading many people to not take it seriously. The world is full of skeptics, after all.
Emily Prentiss is one of those skeptics. Frustrated by the inconsistencies in her sleepwalking depending on where she lives, and the trouble it continues to get her in, she hopes for the day she can kick the habit.
On the other hand, Jennifer Jareau is a believer in fatumsomnambulism. She holds onto the hope that she might meet her soulmate one day, but as more time passes, it’s harder to hold onto that hope.
From growing up and attending school, to starting careers and joining the FBI, they’re faced with navigating a world constantly pulling them together. What will happen when they finally meet in the middle?

Summary
“Please,” Lena says, shrugging her shoulders. “You know you’re my favourite. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You’re my favourite. You’re acting like this is brand new information.”
And that's—
Wow. To hear Lena say this, to know that this still holds true even after everything that has happened… Kara flushes. She fiddles with her belt, exhales softly.
or Lena is a terrible enabler. Kara wants anything and everything Lena will give her, and underneath the weight of such gentle, earnest warmth, it keeps escaping Kara why that is dangerous.
