Summary
“Are we… are we okay?”
“We’re stuck in a nuclear apocalypse, likely a result of my father’s gross negligence, and now used as a playground for an egomaniac’s deranged, power fantasies.”
“Lena.” Her name is a slow sigh. A patient, painstakingly fragile one at that.
Lena closes her eyes, inhaling against the torrent of emotions fighting towards a surface she’s not ready to break.
“Us being stuck here together doesn’t change anything.”
---
Or, Kara and Lena find themselves stranded on a barren Earth where they are forced to work together to survive and finally confront the toxic wasteland their relationship has become.

Summary
The longer Lena stands in her bedroom, her still-wet hair slowly dripping onto the hardwood, the more she wonders whether screaming will make her feel any better. She’s been waiting for this phone call for the last twenty-four hours and now she's staring at the missed call banner. Somehow she already knows that calling back isn’t going to work out in her favor, so instead she closes her eyes and clicks on the voicemail.
“Hi Lena, this is Kara Danvers! I got your messages, all seven of them. I’m so sorry that we didn’t have a chance to sit down this week in person, although it sounds like you’ve had your hands full at work. I have some stuff I need to take care of before we leave, so I’ll have to meet you at the airport. Since I’m cutting it a little close, I’ll send a courier to pick up my ticket from you this afternoon. And Lena? Take a deep breath. This is all going to be fine. Your ex-fiancée will wish she’d never left you and your family will think we’re in love. Trust me. Look, I’ve got to go, but I’ll see you at the airport. Can’t wait to meet you.”

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.

Summary
A scrapbook of memories and this is the one that sits on the very first page, but she knows she knew Catra long before that too, and they’d fallen together again every summer like the rest of the year didn't even exist.
It was a mystery to Adora, still, as to why everything had so violently torn apart that last July after they'd presented. She’d been expecting a little anger, resentment maybe, but she hadn’t prepared herself for four years of cold, absent silence.
She accepts it was her fault.
She wishes she knew why.

“No more apologising, okay? I just wish you’d told me sooner."
Vi huffs at her. Sure. Sorry, cupcake, no funny business—we only hit Hand-Holding a couple hours ago. Try again next year.
“I would have done things a bit differently," Caitlyn goes on, "if I’d known you’re asexual.”
He falters.
“That I’m what?”

Summary
Her first time messaging Caitlyn Kiramman on Instagram may as well qualify as a near death experience.
Vi: Nice pic
Caitlyn: Thanks?It's a good thing private messages are, indeed, private because that would be public humiliation in any other context. Execution on sight, even.
Caitlyn: Thanks!* I’m sorry. That was rude, wasn't it?
Vi: ngl I felt that question mark in my soul
Caitlyn: I got a new phone. My fingers aren't quite used to this size.
Vi: can’t say i relate. haven't changed my phone in years
Caitlyn: Your photos are quite the testament to that
Vi: oh please. i don't use instagram as my own professional portfolio
Caitlyn: You should. You've got a nice face.
Vi: how far down did you scroll to even see my faceor an Influencer/Meme account au. Caitlyn is an artsy influencer who acquired her followers through the fame of her parents. Vi accidentally became a popular meme account - and a thirst trap for local lesbians.

Summary
Caitlyn isn’t sure if she’ll ever get to heaven. She really isn’t. She wants to. Or, at least, she’s been told she wants to, since birth. Probably before that even.
It’s with this thought in mind that she sets out for her days, jacket on, shoes tied, commandments strapped to her like a backpack.

Summary
Mind games and strategy weren’t her specialty, that much was true. But she’d fought and worked alongside Cait for quite awhile, and by now she knew how Caitlyn liked to operate: calm, controlled, quick and efficient to minimize complications. However, this approach came with drawbacks—the first being that it relied heavily on gathering intel beforehand and pre-op work; the second being that, if Caitlyn planned everything down to the last detail, as she was wont to do, there was very little room for error for the plan to go off without a hitch, and a complete wild card—say, a wild card with pink hair and metal fists and a tattoo on her cheek—jumping the gun could easily bring the whole operation crashing down around their ears.
(And by “operation,” she really meant “thighs.” Specifically, Caitlyn’s thighs, and her ears.)

Caitlyn is stressed at work, and Vi is a little shit with a talented tongue. [Caitlyn/Vi, in which Vi takes a proactive approach to stress relief, and Caitlyn is eaten out during duty hours. Absolutely rated E.]

Because Vi is just as she remembers, with her tousled pink hair and ruggedly handsome features that seem even more prominent under the dim lights.
Vi’s still wearing her favourite leather jacket, ripped jeans and combat boots, but there’s a bit more ink on her neck, a little more muscle to her form, and Caitlyn stumbles over her heart. Stumbles over her words.
A year and eight months, 609 days – she wonders what Vi has been up to all that time.

Summary
She taps her straw against her cup absentmindedly, “I don’t know — just — she’s always off when that stupid topsider is around. All blushy and gross and —”
She barely finishes her sentence before Lux’s expression changes completely, pink lips splitting into a wide grin, all teeth and the shiny apples of her cheeks. Whether it’s out of frustration or just an excuse to avert her eyes from the sudden bright sight, Powder drops her head down onto the bar with an audible conk .
“Do you think she might —” The blonde clasps her hands together in a childish kind of glee, leaning in close to Ekko and Powder. “like her? ”
...
In which Powder watches in a bewildered and horrified sort of fascination — and a little disgust — as Caitlyn and Vi blunder through the grossness of young love. ( And maybe she learns a few things about herself, too. )
