Summary
“So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”
Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.

Summary
After fifteen years of knowing about gods and monsters, Will would have thought nothing could surprise him anymore. Demigods learn young to expect the unexpected, and he maybe knows that even better than most. But coming home from Saturday roommate brunch, seven years after Nico broke his heart and just a few months after the long-time-coming breakdown finally ruined his life, to find Nico barely-conscious and bleeding on his doorstep—that’s a little outside the range of life complications even Will would usually account for.
And it definitely wasn’t in Nico's plans. He's finally trying to get his life back together; he doesn’t need to have it derailed by Will’s stupid face and eyes and shoulders. But evidently, the universe—or the Fates—or maybe some deity in particular—has other ideas.
Winner, Solangelo Fic Awards 2022, Best Chaptered (Unfinished) <333 (THANK YOU!!)

Summary
They didn’t kiss, or even talk about it. It wasn’t real yet, maybe because Alexis wasn’t ready yet, after Ted, but it was possible, something she could hold close and dwell on with giddy anticipatory pleasure, Twyla’s face, Twyla’s freckles, Twyla’s voice. Something to look forward to.
Something she probably ruined when she slept with Stevie on the night of the wedding reception.

Summary
Andrea's trying to adjust to a lot.
The world being locked down when she's 6,000 miles from home.
Not being able to go to work.
Oh, and living with her girlfriend, Lena. And her girlfriend's other girlfriend, Kara, who is the last person Andrea ever expected Lena to settle down with.
Not that there's anything wrong with Kara, exactly. Andrea almost gets it, in a way. Kara's pretty and perky and she cooks like an angel...
But still.
Then again, Andrea supposes she doesn't have to get it. After all, just because Lena's dating both of them doesn't mean they're dating each other.- Language:

Summary
“Sorry. What’s your name?” Kara lowers the last bite of her hot dog. “You know mine, it’s only fair.”
The woman shifts her weight, pursing her lips and seeming to think about it. “I’m Lena,” she offers at last, watching Kara’s face.
“Well, it’s nice to meet you, Lena.” Kara gives her an enormous smile.
“Likewise.” Lena smiles back, then takes a breath. “I hope this isn’t the last time we talk.”
“Me, either.”
Kara watches Lena go, sees her pause at the street, then dart across awkwardly in her heels. “Lena,” she says to herself, trying it out. She goes to take another bite of her hot dog and feels the ketchup drip from her thumb, dropping into her lap.
Or:
Kara Danvers is in a slump: she’s just been fired from her job as a producer for a local news show, and she can’t get a single call back from prospective employers. But an offer from Luthor Broadcasting Corporation to help save their failing morning show might be just the thing she needs to turn it all around.
Based on the movie Morning Glory.

Summary
“Are we… are we okay?”
“We’re stuck in a nuclear apocalypse, likely a result of my father’s gross negligence, and now used as a playground for an egomaniac’s deranged, power fantasies.”
“Lena.” Her name is a slow sigh. A patient, painstakingly fragile one at that.
Lena closes her eyes, inhaling against the torrent of emotions fighting towards a surface she’s not ready to break.
“Us being stuck here together doesn’t change anything.”
---
Or, Kara and Lena find themselves stranded on a barren Earth where they are forced to work together to survive and finally confront the toxic wasteland their relationship has become.

Summary
“Damn it,” Alex grumbles, kicking at an empty chair until it skids across the floor. “Come on, guys. There has to be someone who can go undercover. Any woman under 30 at this bureau who can put on some makeup and twirl in a circle.”
And then all eyes, inexplicably, go to Kara.
“Who?” Kara asks, looking back and forth between Alex and Vasquez and surreptitiously brushing the Cheeto dust from her pants. “Who is it, guys?”
But Alex and Vasquez just keep staring at her silently, matching grins on their faces, and after a few seconds the horrible truth dawns on her. Kara blinks, looking down at herself and then back up at them.
“But…I’m 31?”
OR
To help her sister foil an attack on the Miss United States pageant, Kara needs to go undercover. There’s only one problem – she’s never been ladylike a day in her life. What starts as a reluctant favour leads Kara to real friendship, growth, and Lena Luthor, all under the watchful eye of the pageant spotlight.
OR OR
The Miss Congeniality AU.

Fandoms: Supergirl (TV 2015)

Summary
“Okay. What’s your name?”
Lena’s response is knee-jerk. “None of your damn business.”
Supergirl runs her fingers through her hair. It sticks up wildly near her temple, and Lena can see a slight cowlick. It’s strangely humanizing. “Look, my boss isn’t going to like that I’m working with an unknown as it is. If we’re going to work together, I at least need something to call you.”
When Lena shakes Supergirl’s hand, she feels the warmth of victory when the hero seems shocked at the firmness of her grip. But alarmingly an even stronger warmth radiates from their joined palms, spreading up her arm; Lena pulls her hand back faster than what’s generally considered polite, curling it into a fist.
“You can call me Kieran.”
OR
For over a hundred years, Lena has been trying to escape the suffocating hierarchy of the fae – and ever since her mother moved LuthorCorp to National City the only way to do so is to work with Supergirl, with whom Lena shares a soul-deep connection she can’t control.
What’s a vampire to do?
