    Summary

    "Okay," Alex nodded sadly, glancing back over at Kara before extending her arm to Kelly. "We need to surround her with all things Kara for when she wakes up, we need her to know it's real. All of you—start thinking of things that will help bring her back to us."

    "She's home, Alex," Kelly's smile radiated through the sorrow as Alex collapsed into her embrace. "She's home."

    "Y-yeah," Alex sniffled. She knew it to be true—but it didn't feel like it. Not yet.

    Starts with my take on Kara returning from the Phantom Zone after being forced there by Lex, except she didn't reunite with her father (because I can't be bothered to explore that), so she spent the time alone (much longer here than in the show) and it's really messed with her head.

    The story explores Kara's struggle with her Supergirl identity as she battles with emotional trauma, alongside her developing relationship with Lena.

    Enjoy! Oh, and there will be smut.

    Summary

    “I hope we can be friends,” she says and Lena’s throat feels thick at the sound of it. “I care about you, you know.”

    Heat spikes in the back of Lena’s eyes. “Friends,” she repeats. “Of course. Why couldn’t we be?”
     
    The answer is obvious. They were never really friends, even when they technically were. Lena has zero idea how Kara plans to manage it now with all their history between them.

     A sort of retelling of S2 under the premise that Lena and Kara went to college together and dated.

    Summary

    “So?” Alex prompts.

    Kara looks up from the styrofoam container, already having broken apart her chopsticks. “So what?”

    “What do you mean so wha—Kara!” Kara freezes, chopsticks hanging in midair clutching a piece of kung pao chicken. There is real frustration and confusion in Alex’s voice. “Imagine my surprise when I sign in at the front desk and the nurse says that my sister-in-law is stable right now. Wanna tell me why you’re playing house to visit your best friend in the hospital?”

    Kara sets the chicken down. “Alex…”

    “Kara, you have ten seconds to explain why the entire staff thinks you and Lena are married and the answer had better not actually involve marriage or I swear to god I’ll…”

    ____________

    In which Kara is a whole entire idiot, Alex is a permanent mood, and Lena is just glad Kara is there for her, as her fake wife, while she recovers from another quarterly attempt on her life.

    Summary

    Somehow across three thousand years Lanfear and Ishamael always end up in a stalemate.

    Just a quick character/relationship study because Lanfear is nothing if not endlessly inspiring....
