    Summary

    “Why are you here?” Adora asks.

    Catra steps in close, gratified when Adora takes a shaky step back and then another, til her back is up against the wall of the gym. “Would you believe that I missed you?”

    --

    When Adora transfers from Horde Academy to Bright Moon Prep in their final year of high school, she and Catra pretty much stop talking. Until they don't.

    Summary

    “Well," the counselor continued, "now that we’ve established your antagonistic rapport-”

    “We don’t even know each other,” Lena practically howled. "I’ve literally never met her.”

    “Yes, well your first-impression is not doing you any favors,” the counselor added pointedly. “Waving threateningly at her-?”

    “She’s literally impenetrable,” Lena said, her voice escalating to frantic. “And you,” she continued, eyes now fixed to golden locks, annoyingly ocean-blue eyes, and the impossible facial symmetry of a goddess, “Are you just going to go along with this?”

    “Well, she has a point,” Supergirl began, “I don’t really have a nemesis yet…”

    // or

    The federal government requires all heroes and their greatest nemesis undergo regular counseling sessions. The only problem? Supergirl doesn't have a nemesis yet. The good news? Lena Luthor just moved to town.

    Summary

    At the mention of Asami, Korra perks up. “How is she?”

    Tenzin glances at her with a secretive smile.

    “I’m under strict orders to not answer that question. However, I wasn’t told I couldn’t tell you she asked the same.”

    “We’re literally on the same island,” Korra says, exasperated, even though the argument is old by now and clearly useless. “I don’t understand why we can’t see each other until tomorrow.”

     

    (Or: it's the day before Korra and Asami's wedding and they're not allowed to see each other. They agreed to it. It's only a few hours, they can make it, right?)

    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.
