Summary
Lena Luthor moves LuthorCorp’s HQ to National City with the sole aim of meeting, collaborating with, and potentially befriending, two people: Supergirl and K Elzörn.
One is a world-saving alien superhero, the cousin of the Kryptonian her now-incarcerated brother tried to kill. The other is an elusive genius astro-particle physicist publishing under a pseudonym, who Lena is desperate to track down.
She has massive crushes on both of them. (And Cat Grant can’t resist meddling.)
Never in her wildest dreams would Lena have imagined that they might be the same woman.

Summary
"And you are?" Lena says, holding her hand out to shake. Kara takes it, and puts in every effort not to crush it in her nervousness. Lena's hand is dry and cold where Kara's is uncomfortably hot.
"Kara Danvers," Kara says, putting on her best smile. "Reporter. It's great to meet you, I think we really – "
"Ah, Kara Danvers. The newest addition to the roster, and yet one who has her own private office on the 21st floor," Lena interrupts.
OR
How would early season 3 look if Lena and Kara didn't meet until after Lena bought CatCo, and Lena thought Kara was a total nepo baby?

Summary
Through every wild accusation and baseless claim, not one of them wavers in their conviction that Kara Danvers is their own personal black cat. And this belief seems to be backed by senior management, who after several thousand dollars in damages and numerous complaints/threats to quit, have barred Kara from the test kitchen and restricted her to restaurant reviews and promo material.
Lena seriously considers getting the water tested for toxins. Or psychotropic drugs.
Because while she may well consider pastries to be an art, Lena is first and foremost a woman of science.
And she absolutely, positively does not believe in jinxes.or
Lena's a chef who doesn't believe in jinxes. Kara's a food writer who just so happens to be one.

Summary
"So to keep yourself from getting hurt by love, you're…casting a spell to…find it?" Sam says, her face twisted up in confusion as Lena wanders the garden gathering the herbs she needs. It's dark outside, and they're darting between shadows – the garden is here for the kitchen staff to pick fresh ingredients from, and the last time Lillian found her snipping rosemary she was confined to her room for two months.
"I'm calling for Amas Veritas," Lena clarifies. "I'm binding myself to a person that doesn't exist."
"How do you know they don't exist?"
"They can't. No person can fit all my criteria. And if they don't exist, I can never fall in love."
OR
Lena Luthor is cursed. Everyone she loves is doomed to die; it would take someone truly indestructible to survive a magic that’s ingrained in her very bloodline. When she binds herself to a true love that can’t exist, the last thing she expects is for Kara Danvers to turn up and prove her wrong.
OR OR
An AU (lightly) inspired by Practical Magic.

Summary
Lena lets out a careful breath and says, “James and I have decided to end our— association.”
What a perfectly weird and roundabout way to describe the end of a romantic relationship, Kara thinks. “Oh?” she says, aptly demonstrating her own comparative lack of eloquence.
It earns her one of Lena’s crinkly smiles at least, affection clear on her best friend’s face. “Should I feel offended that you don’t seem all that surprised?” she flusters.
“No,” Kara says, “I am,” and she is, is the thing, she's actually stunned, but she’s something else, much more than that.
She’s elated.
“Bummer,” Kara says.

In which Kara makes a tiny new enemy, Alex has an actual functioning gaydar, and Lena breaks up with James only to immediately start seeing someone else. And Kara is fine! Except for the part where she’s really, really not.
