my darling, let the band play on (‘cos it’s clear we stole the show) by the_ominous_owl

Summary
Kara’s happy. She has a great job, a girlfriend who loves her, and castmates who only occasionally post her drunken antics on Instagram. But everyone knows that happy doesn’t get clicks, and when the unstoppable force of an audience’s expectations runs up against the immovable object of a network’s vision, everybody loses except the paparazzi.
or
the one where the network meddles, Lena despairs, and Kara just wants the fandom to find an ounce of goddamn chill.

we're playing to a full house, darling (but this show can't go on) by the_ominous_owl

Summary
Kara’s struggling to find work. Lena’s struggling to find herself. When fate (with some help from Cat Grant) casts them into the same orbit they find themselves completely off-script, because while everyone knows about the sins of the father, they're somewhat less clear about the sins of one’s siblings. Throw into that an audience hungry for stories at the expense of fact, a showrunner with a plan nobody saw coming, and a co-star who steadfastly refuses to keep it in his pants, and you’ve got a tale so dramatic even the protagonists have noticed.
or
the one where they’re both actresses with a surprising amount of baggage for two people who haven’t met yet.

Summary
Her Brother's Keeper
A CatCo Magazine exclusive by Kara Danvers
Photos by James Olsen//
“Now,” Lena says, physically pushing her keyboard away on her desk, as though trying to distance herself from the temptation to keep working. “What can I do for you?”
Anyone who has met Lena is familiar with these words. They are her go-to greeting; practiced, polite, and most importantly, meant in earnest. A thesis statement: Lena Luthor wants to help.

Summary
When later asked, Kara will vehemently insist that she is not, nor has she ever been, a sugar baby.
She just happens to be in the position to accept extravagant gifts and money from a wealthy CEO in exchange for certain acts of physical and emotional intimacy. But! That does not make her a sugar baby, okay? It makes her a friend. A great one, actually, and the only one Lena Luthor has likely ever had.
