Summary
It’s the weekend of Harper and Abby’s wedding, and this event has everything: ostentatious displays of New England wealth; bridal party brunches; themed cocktails; canapés; moonlit swims in the nude; exquisite torture; cold pizza; gas station popsicles; a copy of Machiavelli’s “The Prince”; a bruise on Sloane Caldwell’s shoulder that matches the dental records of one Riley Bennett.

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
“Please,” Lena says, shrugging her shoulders. “You know you’re my favourite. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You’re my favourite. You’re acting like this is brand new information.”
And that's—
Wow. To hear Lena say this, to know that this still holds true even after everything that has happened… Kara flushes. She fiddles with her belt, exhales softly.
or Lena is a terrible enabler. Kara wants anything and everything Lena will give her, and underneath the weight of such gentle, earnest warmth, it keeps escaping Kara why that is dangerous.

Summary
“So… How is this done?” She asks seriously, to which she replies, quite simply, “We get on the bed and we cuddle."
Lena Luthor is the last person to admit she's touch-starved, but after one hour of service from Kara Danvers, professional cuddler, she finds herself craving it.

Summary
The woman on Lena’s doorstep is, quite frankly, the most confusing person she’s ever seen.
At first glance she looks like every other housewife Lena has ever encountered. She’s wearing a reddish-brown skirt and a plain yellow blouse, her blonde hair in a stiff updo and her eyes magnified by large eyeglasses, and her makeup is well-applied if a little outdated. If she was standing further away Lena would have guessed that she was in her early forties at least, but after a more thorough look, Lena would be surprised if the visitor was much older than herself.
The woman’s smile looks a little fixed and her eyes are wide as saucers, staring at Lena silently. Lena clears her throat.
“…Can I help you?”
OR
Lena moves to the suburbs in the spring of 1969 to insulate herself from the world. To avoid getting hopelessly entangled with a married woman ever again. She can keep her head down, host some parties to get her needs met, and disappear.
Enter, Kara Danvers.

Summary
Kara cradles her pile of dirty plates. She doesn’t know how to open Lena’s brand new dishwasher without ripping the handle apart. She usually figures these things out through trial and error, but she’s never been alone in Lena’s apartment, and she can’t risk winging it in front of her.
So, she just stands by the sink and watches the hot water redden Lena’s sensitive skin, the light glinting off her beautiful earrings, and my happiness bites the plum of your mouth.The verse comes to her, unbidden, from one of their weekly poems. Lena always chooses poems with such physicality to them. Always real, touchable.
---Or: Kara is an alien, Lena is a genius. Their strangeness separates and connects them to the world and each other in peculiar ways. Being human in Lena’s eyes allows Kara to tap into parts of herself she hadn’t been able to explore before, but she knows her secret will one day stop being a bridge between them, and they’ll both lose the version of Kara Lena has grown to love. (Tender slow burn, mutual respect, bittersweetness and tentative physicality galore! Some angst and a lot of joy)

Summary
Let’s talk about Supergirl fanfiction for a second.
Agent Summers has a decent life, she thought. She liked her DEO job, she'd been a trainee a couple years after Alex Danvers, and they were acquaintances, you could say. Friendly, even. And when she was caught a few times with some good fantasy reads on her lunch break, or with some books falling out of her locker, Alex passed the Job along her way when it became obvious they needed someone to do it.
The Job, meaning, reading all the Supergirl fanfiction produced by the citizens of National City.

Summary
It's been three weeks since Whistler bared her soul in Tennant's backyard, spilling all the soft, squishy parts of her for everyone, but especially Lucy, to see. Three weeks of rediscovering each other, planning nights out that start with the nerves of a first date but end with the quiet comfort of an established love (and sometimes, with the toe-curling touch of an attentive hand, of gratitude, of forgiveness). Three weeks of navigating still-hurt feelings with patient words of affirmation and all the honesty that had been missing the first time around.
It doesn't erase the months apart, but lazy Sundays are in again.
(or, the first year of Lucy & Kate's girlfriend era)

Something in Lena falls into place; the universe in shambles builds itself back together.
“Lena, do you have feelings for my sister?”
OR, Kara and Lena make friendship bracelets and deny their feelings admirably. Four years later, Alex tells Lena what a bracelet means on Krypton.

Lena who has always trusted her body, her gut instinct and when her body tells her she's in love with Supergirl the same way she's in love with Kara, Lena goes to investigate, cause while she approves of polyamory 100% she doesn't think that's what she's about, this feels too familiar.Kara who doesn’t know why she needs to go see Lena every day
Kara who if she can't see Lena during the day has to go to her at night in a cape
Kara who's a little on the depressed side but is working through it and is there for Lena, always

She might smile and feel genuine joy at saving people--and she does!--but her personal life? God what a wreck. It's her low self-worth that makes her let her guard down around Lena, that lets Lena in to see. -

Summary
“Whatever you say, cox,” the blonde said, brimming with dismissiveness. Lena’s vision flickered red, rage returning.
“Well, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Or it had better be.” Coach Cat Grant appeared between them. “Kara Danvers, Lena Luthor. Lena Luthor, Kara Danvers.”
Kara Danvers. Well, for as much as Lena tried not to follow her own sport, she’d have to be dense not to have heard of Supergirl, Valcourt University’s star rower. What the hell was she doing at the tryouts for NCU, her biggest rival?
Kara’s brow furrowed, and Lena knew what she was thinking: Lex Luthor’s little sister.
But then Kara said, “I thought you coxed for the men’s team here?”
“Not anymore,” Cat said, her patience clearly waning. “Shake hands, get over it, and let’s get on the water already.”
or
Kara and Lena join NCU's rowing team and don't get along until they really, really do

Summary
Kara’s not sure why people assume her other senses are heightened, but not her sense of touch. She doesn’t tend to correct them, though. She doesn’t like talking about it. It feels somehow too revealing, and unavoidably intimate, to explain the overwhelming strength of her sensory response to touch. So no, she doesn’t talk about it.
But talking isn’t the only way to communicate, and one Movie Night with Lena, her body decides to spill the secret whether she wants it to or not.
Author’s Note: Chapter 1 can be read as a stand alone
I originally intended this as a one-shot, but my brain would not shut up about these two, so…
Chs. 2 - 8 are not really their own separate stories. But Chapter 1 is. Feel free to take it as the beginning, middle, and end.However much you read, hope you like it!

Summary
“Who are you?” Kara asks, watching the woman’s eyes fade from gold back to pale green. There’s no mistaking it – she has powers, and those powers seemed undeniably magical.
“Morgana,” Red Daughter supplies as an introduction, pulling this Morgana close and taking her by the waist. Morgana rests a hand gently on her chest, looking up at her with an incredibly genuine affection totally divorced from the droll tone she was taking with Kara, and they look so utterly devoted to each other that Kara couldn’t possibly mistake their relationship for anything but what it is.
They’re in love. Kara’s clone and Lena’s are, inexplicably, in a relationship; and Lena’s can somehow do magic.
OR
When Kara and Lena’s look-alikes turn up in National City, aggressively in love and seemingly shameless, Kara is forced to reckon with why she can’t stop thinking about what’s happening between the people wearing their faces.
OR OR
Morgana and Red Daughter are horny and chaotic, and Kara has some (repressed) feelings about it.
