    Summary

    “Stay with me.”
     
    It was the last thing Korra expected to hear. She was expecting to hear nothing, truth be told; because even Asami had her limits, and she wasn’t like Korra was; she withdrew when she was upset. It took more than a moment for the words to penetrate, and when they did Korra struggled to calibrate them - it was painfully easy to feel the strange weight under them, and equally rather difficult, in the moment, to draw out the reason, what with her heart twisting -

    It sounded like something Asami could have said six months ago.
     
    Korra and Asami on the steady, special road to life partnership. A post-reunion, post(ish)-college roommate AU.

    Summary

    “I’m just…so glad you’re back in my life,” Kara says, wrapping Lena in a hug. Lena winds her own arms around Kara’s middle, tucks her head into the crook of Kara’s neck. “I don’t know what I’d do without you. Especially with Lex and Nyxly on the loose, and this mess with the totems, but even without that, you know?”

    “I don’t know what I’d do without you, either.” And maybe it’s the four glasses of wine, but Lena feels suddenly overcome with the truth of that sentiment, and three little words she’s never said to Kara start to claw their way up her throat.

    She only realizes she’s opened her mouth as if to speak when Kara prompts her, whispers, “What is it?”

    Lena panics.

    She can’t, won’t lie and say ‘nothing,’ and her mind scrambles until two words in an unfamiliar tongue come out of her mouth before she can stop them. “El mayarah.”

    Kara’s arms tighten around her. “El mayarah, Lena.”

    or

    Four times Lena tries to say ‘I love you’ to Kara only for it to come out ‘El mayarah’ instead, and the one time Kara figures it out.

    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.
