Summary
Daisy was tired of all the fighting, heartbreak, and being left alone when she was no longer useful. But as long as she was in her universe, there was no stopping. It’d never be allowed. So if she wanted out, it meant going somewhere that’d never heard of Daisy Johnson, Quake, or the Destroyer of Worlds. So a universe where there never was a Daisy Johnson. She wasn’t exactly expecting a world with a brand-new and shiny Superhero. One who clearly had no idea how to protect themselves from being chewed up and spat out.

Summary
One day, two women meet on the subway. The recently dumped Lena is recovering from a broken heart, and Kara is grappling with the open-ish relationship she has with her long-distance boyfriend. They decide that they’re going to become friends. The kind of friends who also have totally casual, no-strings-attached, nobody’s-catching-feelings sex. What could go wrong?
As Alex puts it: “Kara. This is the dumbest thing you’ve ever done. And I’m including the time that you set fire to your own hair and nearly burned the house down trying to do some spell you found on MySpace to make Troy Bolton materialize in real life and marry you.”
Or: Lena and Kara go around New York City eating food and banging each other until their feelings eat away at them, and Alex tries not to have an aneurysm about it.

Summary
Water fell in an even, rhythmic pattern, echoing across cobblestones. A shallow puddle gathered in the low corner of a damp dungeon. Chill seeped from the cracks in the walls and floor.
Chains clinked gently across stone, and an occasional draw of haggard breath pushed through the silence. A woman was on her feet, barely, knees bent and head hanging, hands manacled above her head. She was gripping and releasing the chains in time to the drips, trying to keep blood flowing through her aching arms and shoulders. She inhaled and exhaled slowly, dry tongue occasionally darting out onto dry lips. Blonde hair hung down, framing her face, sticking to her neck.
Kara Zor-El, princess of Krypton, was a prisoner – and she was scheduled to become a martyr.

Summary
“Do you think therapy would help you?”
“Yes…”, Kara affirmed, a crease simultaneously appearing on her forehead to pre-empt the ‘but’ she was on the precipice of voicing. “But I don’t think that there is anyone suitably equipped to handle a case like mine.”
“What makes you so sure of that?”
“Two reasons.” Kara declared, the shadows of her face darkening all of a sudden.
“And they are?” Percy inquired, pen poised and ready to detail Kara’s expressions and answer.
“Well, first…” Kara sighed before lifting her chin and staring at Percy defiantly, something strong and unbreakable flashing in the young woman’s eyes for the first time. “I’m in love with Lena Luthor.”

But, when Lena Luthor is working late in the L-Corp Lab the last thing she expects is for it to activate.

Summary
Science was always a comfort to Kara. It was a reminder of Krypton. Of her people, culture, and family. She focused her attention on studying it when she first arrived on Earth for that reason. Then the years passed, Kara learned how to hide her differences, become more human, and that focus was lost.
At least until Snapper reassigned her to cover the science and technology beat at The Tribune.

Summary
Maria stopped as soon as she entered the room and raised her eyes towards the woman in the cage, the reason they were called and ordered there. The alleged Black Widow. The red hair, the green eyes, even the curious tilt of her chin were familiar to her. She knew that woman.
“Natasha?”
“Who told you that name?" [...] "I've never seen you before. But whatever I did to you,” she paused and faked a smirk, she felt her fingers begin to tingle, her jump was about to end, her time was almost up, “I'm going to enjoy every second of it.”

Summary
Because it turns out the Halo can want things now, sort of. Not the way a human would, with thoughts or motivation or articulable desires. The Halo wants things the way a tree wants water and shoves a taproot through flagstone to get it, which is all well and good for the tree, but less so for the idiot trying to keep her patio intact. Unfortunately for Ava, she’s both the idiot and the taproot. The flagstone is her dignity. The water – for reasons becoming rapidly and unavoidably apparent – is Beatrice.

the one where the halo imprints on beatrice like a duckling and is dead-set on making it ava’s problem

Summary
Mayor Mills is now at 388 votes, and Sheriff Swan is at 396. Regina sits back, pleased, and refreshes the page as her eyes drift to the movie she’s supposed to be watching. Mayor Mills now has 418. “This is ridiculous,” Regina mutters, stabbing at damned storefronts for another few minutes. “Is she paying people to vote for me? Did she call one of her hacker friends from her bail bondsperson days?”
“When does this competition end?” Henry wonders, sighing heavily. “Asking for a friend,” he adds, his tone making it absolutely clear that he is not, in fact, asking for a friend.
“Never,” Regina says, giving him a look. He rolls his eyes right back at her and she nestles against him, picking out what Captcha has decided are statues as the movie continues.

Regina is a recluse, bitter at her years of exile and her loss to Snow White. She dreams of vengeance even decades later, and the arrival of Snow's family is exactly what she's been waiting for all these years.
