Summary
“There’s another driver retiring, actually.”
“The hot blonde you gave a ride to in my jet?” Sam says, raising an eyebrow.
“Sam!” Lena says, scandalized. “How do you know that?”
“Which thing?” Sam says, a sly smile on her face and the mischief evident in her voice. “And it looks to me like you’ve got a solution right in front of you, Lena.”
At that, Lena is confused. Sure, she’s got plenty of problems right now, but she doesn’t know what Kara has to do with any of that. “What?”
“Well, I figure you’ll need a driver to work with if you want to get back into things…” Sam says, gesturing vaguely with her fork.
--
Lena and Lex Luthor are on their way to becoming national champions of the American Rally Association, but things quickly fall apart following a major accident. Lena distances herself from Lex as he faces criminal charges, and she's faced with the prospect of retiring.
With Kara's major sponsors dropping out left and right, funds thin out quickly and she’s forced to let go of the sport she's loved for years, but Lena proposes an idea of a partnership that may very well rocket them towards the success they’ve both been racing after.

Summary
Based on this prompt, but I changed it a bit:
You live happily with your roommate in a small house. You’ve only had the house with them for a week, but they suddenly barge in one day and tell you; “If I don’t return in five minutes, get out and run as fast as you can.”, along with handing you a piece of notebook paper with coordinates. It’s been six minutes.

Summary
Written for #SCRiftWeek (Sept 21 prompt: Hate Sex).
After a midnight DEO lockdown strands Lena and Supergirl with a Luthor-locked control core, years of secrecy snap. Lena needles; Kara answers like a soldier, not a friend. The argument detonates into consent-checked, feral hate sex that doubles as a power struggle—Kara pins, Lena weaponizes the pin. They burn under blinking cameras until Alex erases the evidence. In the quiet aftermath, Kara admits: “I hid behind a symbol; you got trapped behind a surname.” The hate doesn’t end; it changes shape.

Summary
Two years after billionaire Lena Luthor vanished from her office at L-Corp, Tess Mercer appeared in an alleyway in Metropolis with no memory of her past. Barely scraping by as a mechanic in the slums of the city, she finds herself troubled by the things she can do, building bombs from scrap metal and fighting off people with skills she doesn't know where she learnt. Her memory is gone, just out of reach, but Tess can't help but feel like there's something more to her blank past than she knows. Searches for the truth turn up empty, until the fourth anniversary of Lena Luthor's disappearance, when Tess sees her face on the TV and knows that the person she's looking at is herself.
On the other side of the country, Kara Danvers has spent the last four years searching for her missing wife while raising her nephew and masquerading as a part-time superhero. When there's finally news of Lena, things don't go to plan when she comes home to a wife she doesn't know she has, and an eight-year-old child that isn't hers. As they try to recover Lena's memory and figure out what happened to her, Kara struggles to let go of the fact that she might never get her wife back.
