Summary
“Alex,” she says one day, between alternating bites of bacon, pancakes, and sticky buns. “How do you know if you’re in love with someone?”
…
“I mean, I wouldn’t put it like that,” Kara says, wishing she had that sticky bun to eat. “The people may be the same, but it feels like everything’s changed, doesn’t it?”
Something dawns on Alex’s face and Kara isn’t sure if it’s a happy reaction or not. If anything, her sister looks like she’s trying not to give anything away, and keeps her face calm and neutral. It makes Kara feel like she’s on a slippery slope, with no footholds in sight.
“Everything has changed, at least when it comes to that. When it comes to Lena. You two are in uncharted waters now. Anything could happen.”
AKA Kara starts asking what it means to fall in love, Lena gives an accidentally misleading answer, and their increasingly exasperated friends wonder what it'll take for the two of them to realize that they’ve been the one for each other for a very long time.

Summary
Lena discovers Supergirl’s identity in Kaznia and is pissed to say the least. She experiences every emotion on the wheel including, to her confusion, a sense of longing and desire for her backstabbing best friend.
Kara takes on her civilian identity since Supergirl is being hunted by the DEO and the children of liberty. Kara does everything she can to fix things between her and Lena.
To Lena’s annoyance, she can’t seem to cut Kara out of her life, not when their missions coincide.
-- OR --
A twist on Red Daughter as Lex uses her to further his own agenda. Meanwhile, Kara tries to fix her fractured relationship with Lena. Lots of angst, danger, feelings, and sexual tension

Summary
“This place it's...kinda like...it's a safe haven for me.” Kara added, then immediately regretted when the older woman's eyes snapped back to hers with a renewed interest.
“Oh? Do tell.” she purred, swishing her wine around in her glass, holding Kara down with a look alone.
“I-I can't explain it, but...um,” The young hero squirmed in her seat, blushing from the heat of the look she was getting and decided it was definitely time to go, “Just millennial drama. Um, thanks for the water...?”
“Lena.”
Kara stood and pushed in her chair politely, “Thanks for the water, Lena. Goodnight or good morning, whichever is right.” with that Kara hurried away from the intimidating woman, unaware of those predatory eyes following her out the door. Lena caught Mike staring longingly at the door and she scowled, eyes briefly flashing yellow before she went back to nursing her wine. Her thoughts centered on the blonde that just ran out of her bar like a bat out of hell.

This is mainly a Supergirl story, but I have borrowed characters from OUAT, and MCU. Be warned, this is also a slow burn.

In the meantime, the Superfriends try to hold their own against a vengeful attacker, and Kara, Lena, and crew discover a deadly group of assassins.

Summary
The woman stops her pacing, setting her pale and unevenly-coloured eyes on Kara, and in that moment Kara understands - for the very first time - how Helen of Troy’s face could have been beautiful enough to start a war.
“Enough. I’m tired of being passed from one person to the next. Tell me,” the woman says fiercely after Kara has been quiet for too long. “Who are you?”
“I’m, um,” Kara says, wiggling her feet until they’re buried in the sand up to the ankle. “I’m Kara.”
The woman stares at Kara, incredulous and silent. It stretches out between them, those lingering questions and Kara’s unwillingness to answer them, until finally her shoulders sink and she deflates with a small, disbelieving laugh.
“Right. Well, I’m Lena,” she says, finally seeming to realize her dress is torn and pulling it tighter, "and if you don’t mean me harm, then I suppose you just saved me.”
OR
Kara’s pod crash happens in 6th century Greece, and she grows up eager to be like the heroes whose myths comforted her in the wake of Krypton’s destruction. But when she accidentally reveals her powers and the world views her as a demigod, Kara begins to understand just how dangerous that can be.
