    Summary

    “I think you should be my caddie,” Lena says, on her sixth day in Midvale. She realizes maybe her phrasing isn’t entirely clear. “What I mean is, I want you to be my caddie.”

    “I am your caddie,” Kara says, then looks up from where she’s been reading the grass, a teasing smile on her lips. “Right now, even.”

    or

    Lena finds her new caddie on a golf course in the middle of nowhere, and then, she finally starts winning trophies.

    Summary

    Lena's not entirely sure how she got into this mess

    But in it, she is.

    Because now, these people think that she is, in fact, engaged to the woman in the hospital bed.

    Who is in a coma.

    And who Lena has never actually spoken more than two words to.

     

    "Sometimes, Lena," her mother used to tell her with a faraway look in her eyes, "life doesn’t go how you plan.”

    Lena only wishes that when her mother had imparted this wisdom, she’d made it clear that she was talking about Lena’s life, specifically.

    Summary

    Kara cradles her pile of dirty plates. She doesn’t know how to open Lena’s brand new dishwasher without ripping the handle apart. She usually figures these things out through trial and error, but she’s never been alone in Lena’s apartment, and she can’t risk winging it in front of her.

    So, she just stands by the sink and watches the hot water redden Lena’s sensitive skin, the light glinting off her beautiful earrings, and my happiness bites the plum of your mouth.The verse comes to her, unbidden, from one of their weekly poems. Lena always chooses poems with such physicality to them. Always real, touchable.

    ---

    Or: Kara is an alien, Lena is a genius. Their strangeness separates and connects them to the world and each other in peculiar ways. Being human in Lena’s eyes allows Kara to tap into parts of herself she hadn’t been able to explore before, but she knows her secret will one day stop being a bridge between them, and they’ll both lose the version of Kara Lena has grown to love. (Tender slow burn, mutual respect, bittersweetness and tentative physicality galore! Some angst and a lot of joy)

    Summary

    The moment Kara finally sees the sorceress, the hair on the back of her neck stands on end.

    She’s not fearsome, really. If anything, she almost looks harmless there, peeking out from under her furs and duvet with eyes still half-lidded, hair tousled from her slumber. Adorable, if witchers were inclined to think such sentimentalities.

    But Lena Luthor, small, pale, and sleepy, also exudes such force of magic that it sends Kara’s medallion rattling madly against her chest under her shirt. The witcher’s senses alight with a power unlike any she’s encountered in years and years, a might more fearsome than a roaring dragon’s own.

    A SuperCorp AU of The Witcher – The Last Wish.

    Summary

    “I hope you know this could probably count as breaking and entering,” Lena murmurs.

    Kara makes a light noise, shrugging her shoulders. “Doesn’t count if you keep the balcony open always for me,” she says.

    “For you? How presumptuous.”

    or Lena just really, really wants to touch those biceps.

    OR Kara keeps sleeping in Lena’s bed, much to Lena’s horror.
