Summary
“I’m not … I’m not some elf,” Lena argued, sneering as her thick eyebrows furrowed together, although her contempt was marred by the crack in her voice.
“Indeed. You are only half of one. No matter - your ears are pointed enough and you carry your father’s blood. They have already accepted the match.”
“Who? What match?” Lena demanded.
Arching an eyebrow in a cool, appraising manner, Lillian smiled sharply, her eyes clearly blue in the light of the room, yet frosty and hard. “The Seelie Court. You, my daughter, will keep the peace between our courts.”

Summary
The skirt is discarded only to reveal white breeches underneath. Another man appears from the shadows and holds out a blue frock coat with gold laced buttons that tells Lena all she needs to know. The woman puts it on with practiced ease and faces her again, nearly unrecognizable. Gone was the air of innocence Lena had seen earlier. It was replaced by a gravitas, an intensity, and an acuteness - especially in the way her eyes darted to Lena’s hands, as if she knew what Lena was up to. “You’re her,” Lena chuckles, genuinely enjoying herself. She’s always liked a challenge and this one felt like the biggest she would ever have. “You’re the Girl of Steel.”
“Commodore Kara Zor-El,” she rectifies with a flitting grimace at hearing the title Lena gave her. “Lena Luthor, you are under arrest-”
“Captain Lena Luthor,” Lena interrupts with an insolent smile at the annoyed look the Commodore gives her.

Summary
“You said it was bad,” Lena managed to hoarsely respond after a beat too long.
Nodding, Lillian stared up at the ceiling for a moment, her throat bobbing as her lips twisted wryly. “I’m dying. Stage four pancreatic cancer.”
“How long do you have?”
“A month, maybe two.”
“Oh.”
-
Returning home for the first time in twelve years to the news that her mother is dying, the last thing that Lena wants is to run into the childhood best friend she hasn't spoken to since she left Midvale all those years ago. Especially when said friend was the reason Lena swore she'd never go back home again.
Still harbouring the sting of teenage love and rejection, as well as the pressure of her unsatisfying career and resentment towards her mother, Lena's life is brought to a halt in her hometown as she's forced to confront years of repressed feelings and the truth about what she really wants out of life while waiting for her mother to die.
