Summary
At the end of their third year at Hogwarts, Kim finds herself approaching Trini after a Quidditch match. It's a brief meeting; a spontaneous moment in time that holds the promise of something bright.
With the wizarding world on the brink of another war, life both beyond and inside the walls of Hogwarts soon begins to change in ways they never could have imagined. And through it all, in navigating teenage shenanigans, finding new friends, and eyeing the stormclouds looming on the horizon, they're faced with a decision:
Watch idly as their world is overtaken by the dark?

Summary
A bunch of terrible homophobes decide to protest outside of a high school that’s putting on a production of The Laramie Project—the same high school where Clarke is an art teacher. She’s counterprotesting when Lexa, out for her usual run but forced to detour because of the protest, jogs by.
“Hey, you wanna help me really piss off these bigoted shitheads?”
“How would you suggest doing that? They seem pretty pissed off already.”
“We could make out.”
...It quickly gets more complicated than that.

Summary
'Before she had time to react, I shook my head, pressing my finger to her open mouth, "You're not in charge anymore." I could see the heavy desire in the green of her eyes as they widened. If she wasn't turned on before, she definitely was now.'
Lexa was by no means accustomed to being refused. As an austere club owner, she possessed not only a sickening amount of power, but an annoying aptitude for getting exactly what she wanted. Everybody knew it. Or, at least, almost everybody. When slightly naive Clarke Griffin stumbles into her club and declines an offer to get closer to the club-owner, Lexa makes it her personal mission to pull every thread of Clarke's self-control just to watch her unravel.

Summary
“Okay. What’s your name?”
Lena’s response is knee-jerk. “None of your damn business.”
Supergirl runs her fingers through her hair. It sticks up wildly near her temple, and Lena can see a slight cowlick. It’s strangely humanizing. “Look, my boss isn’t going to like that I’m working with an unknown as it is. If we’re going to work together, I at least need something to call you.”
When Lena shakes Supergirl’s hand, she feels the warmth of victory when the hero seems shocked at the firmness of her grip. But alarmingly an even stronger warmth radiates from their joined palms, spreading up her arm; Lena pulls her hand back faster than what’s generally considered polite, curling it into a fist.
“You can call me Kieran.”
OR
For over a hundred years, Lena has been trying to escape the suffocating hierarchy of the fae – and ever since her mother moved LuthorCorp to National City the only way to do so is to work with Supergirl, with whom Lena shares a soul-deep connection she can’t control.

Summary
Lexa, an exceptional violinist plucked from Washington DC and dropped into the London Arcadian Academy of the Arts, finds herself entangled in difficult dynamics with an overconfident artist. The artist is exactly the sort of girl Lexa can't afford to make friends with. Not with that charm. Not with that smile.
The candle burns slow, but hot all the same.
'"In a place like this, you might find that you need friends. It’s all rosy, until it’s not.”
Evidently, the brunette standing stationary beside Clarke thought nothing to her advice and answered dismissively, her voice emanating as much warmth as a solitary stone, “I’ll pass.”
“Are you sure?” It was her final offer.
As if to slap her in the face, the young woman was silent, the cold intensity of her stare battling with the fire in Clarke’s. After a moment of unbearable friction, the blonde just nodded and pushed away from the bar, “Message received. You have a good evening, won’t you?”
Hardly able to stop herself from suppressing the fury brimming on the back of her tongue, Clarke rested a hand lightly on Anya’s arm as she walked by, “I hope her talent truly is exceptional. It will need to be.”'- Language:
