Summary
in the skies, turbulence isn’t just outside the plane.
captain ruan mei is composed, brilliant, and frustratingly unreadable—earning admiration from everyone but one: herta, the clever and sharp-tongued flight attendant who thinks ruan mei is the coldest woman to ever wear a uniform.every flight, herta rolls her eyes when ruan mei speaks in her usual calm, clipped tone, especially when she makes oddly specific requests. but behind herta’s annoyance is a reluctant fascination... and behind ruan mei’s icy exterior, something much softer starts to stir.
what begins as awkward layovers and stiff interactions at 35,000 feet slowly shifts—until one of them starts looking forward to turbulence.

Summary
Ruan Mei’s life is nothing short of disastrous. Her research is underfunded, her career stagnant, and, to make matters worse, she’s fresh out of an engagement she never even wanted.
The solution to all her problems comes in an offer too perfect to refuse: a blank check, unlimited lab access, and full creative freedom.
Sounds ideal. Except for the small detail that she has to marry the woman offering it.

Summary
Absently, Ruby is aware of Saccharina moving almost cautiously towards her—the way one might approach a wild animal. Ruby doesn’t even have it in her to send all of her anger and hate Saccharina’s way right now. She doesn’t know how to even begin to explain what she is feeling in this moment, other than the fact that she is dealing with an absence so loud that she doesn’t think she can even speak. Saccharina must intuit this, somehow.
(In the small part of her brain that isn’t overwhelmed by loss, Ruby considers that Saccharina, a girl that grew up alone, without a castle or her family, might actually know a thing or two about loss).

Summary
It starts with quiet good mornings and stilted how are yous, awkward invitations to brunch in the gardens and hesitant offers for yet another tour around the castle. They orbit each other so carefully, mindful not to start another war and desperate to find the kind of peace that they both desperately crave.
Ruby and Saccharina in Castle Candy, trying to figure out how to be sisters.

Summary
“Lena,” Kara said softly as the light-hearted humour died away, “where are you?”
“I’m…” Lena swallowed thickly, eyes tearing up as she started to feel panic and vulnerability seep out from inside of her. “I’m somewhere I don’t think you should visit.”
“Oh.” Kara whispered dejectedly.
“I mean I don’t think you’ll want to visit.” Lena clarified because the concept of making Kara feel rejected or abandoned was far worse than anything else she could experience.
“If you’re there then-”
“I’m at the Luthor mansion.”

"You like it when I'm on my knees for you," Lena states, not a question after all this time.
"Yeah."
"And… this?" She opens her mouth and licks a messy, showy stripe over the soft curve of her packer.

Summary
Lena Luthor loves working with her best friend. Granted her best friend is an android her brother made but she still loves working with her. Not that she'd ever tell anyone. Her life is already pathetic enough without everyone knowing she works 100 hour weeks because her closest relationship is with a robot. Not that K2 is the main factor in her hours, no she and her team make revolutionary medical technology for Luthor Corp. She's there because she loves her job, not because sometimes K2 hugs her and it makes her crushing loneliness disappear for a moment.
Kara Zor-El was kidnapped by Lex Luthor when she first landed on Earth and has been kept hidden from the world disguised as a robot ever since. It's not so bad though, his sister found her and brought her to work with her and her team and despite believing she's a robot they treat her as one of their own. It's a little awkward that she has a teeny tiny crush on Lena and Lena thinks she's a robot. But Kara can deal with that. It's not like Lena could do anything even if she did know Kara was a person, Lex made sure of that.
Rated Mature just in case.

Summary
“Tell – tell me you love me.” She says, a surety not present before now. Something she’d only ever entertained in the sickest part of her mind, latching onto the almosts and letting them fester. But she knows that it will work. Knows how she responds to the three little words that Kara never quite says. Knows she will never be the same again and she’s counting on it. “I come harder when you lie to me.”
A slight pause. A stutter of her hips. A singular moment made up from memories of countless others, lighting up one by one in a vivid array of color where the past five months have been black and white. And Kara whispers the words in her ear like it’s the one thing she’s been waiting to say her whole life.
“I love you. Rao, I love you.”
Or -
Upon learning that her best friend has been deceiving her for years, Lena offers an ultimatum for forgiveness. Kara is willing to do anything she asks in order to salvage what they had - but it takes them both down a path they never could have prepared themselves for. Just how far is Kara willing to go for love?

Summary
Supergirl’s face flushed, and Lena braced for another booming, self righteous speech about trust or safety or the meaning of teamwork or some such heroic nonsense, but then her voice shattered into a million pieces and tears welled wet in her eyes.
“All I want is for you to be okay.”
A thousand thoughts danced in Lena’s mind. To ask her why, to defy her, to taunt her, to demand what exactly it was that made Lena so damned important that this woman was so intense about her safety one moment and so angry the next.
In the dance of all those thoughts, the more base instinct won out.
Lena grabbed Supergirl by the neck of her suit, just below those delightful collarbones of hers, and used it as a handle to pull herself into a hard, aggressive kiss.
...
After a tense rescue when Supergirl barely makes it in time to save Lena from one of her brother's rampaging death machines, Lena Luthor ends up having a wild night with Supergirl, only to call out Kara's name while in bed with her...

Summary
“Nah, you way over-tipped last night. This one’s on the house.”
Lena’s shoulders slump in mock exasperation. “Kara, don’t start with me.”
“I am absolutely starting with you.”
What a smug little shit, Lena thinks. But God is she cute. “You really don’t want to play this game.”
"Yeah? Maybe I do.”
It’s said so softly, so gently, and if this was one of Siobhan’s movies, they wouldn’t be talking about the money or drinks at all, they’d be talking about something clenching around Lena’s chest, something stifling, a loneliness that paralyzes her bones.
“Don’t blame me when you lose,” Lena says with a gentle upturn of her mouth, her voice low and crackling, leaving a fifty-dollar bill on the bartop before she turns away.

Summary
“I’m sure.” Lena doesn’t mean to snap —it’s more of a mild annoyance if anything because if her once best friend doesn’t know that there is no way in hell she would be doing this if she didn’t want to, if she didn’t, however unwillingly, trust Kara with this, then did she ever know her at all? “As long as you’re amenable, Kara, I’m offering my complete consent. Is that okay, or would you like it in writing as well?”
For the first time, Lena’s snipe and the crystal clear memory of their last phone call just makes Kara smile. “I’m good,” she says softly.
“Good.”
“You know, a week ago, the morning after we— I’d convinced myself it was a dream. I was scared to check my call log.”
“Do you have many wet dreams about me, Kara?”
Kara laughs suddenly, though she can’t help but feel like she’s been missing out on an essential experience. “No.”
“Shame.”
“You, uh, you hung up last time,” Kara ventures hesitantly. “Before I could…”
“If you’re worried I didn’t complete the mission, I’m happy to inform you that I did.”
“No, before I could tell you that you sounded beautiful.”

Or, the one with phone sex and feelings and the complexity of forgiveness.

the world isn’t quite in need of a superhero but it’s definitely in need of midnight coffee, scones still warm from seas away and handwritten letters delivered at the speed of a text but with the warmth of a hug.
or kara has a super fast delivery business and lena runs her business at odd hours (sometimes her business is just that she really fancies the delivery girl she’s ordering ridiculous things from).

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.
