Summary
“Well if I was gonna guess, I’d say you were trying to fit William into the ‘currently pursuing’ bucket,” Alex says slowly like she’s calculating an equation in her head. “So if he doesn’t fit in there anymore because of Lena, then that would mean…” her sister trails off before quizzically turning to Kelly, who offers no more than an eyebrow raise.
But Kara isn’t paying much attention to them anymore, because suddenly her entire world has shifted on its axis.

Summary
It’d been almost a year since anyone had heard from the Cult of Rao. But, Lena muses as she watches a number of bonafide cultists bustle around her, it appears they're back. And somehow they have gotten things seriously twisted.
Okay. Not somehow. Even at the time, she’d known editing Supergirl’s Wikipedia page with exaggerated information about ancient Kryptonian heroic rites was inadvisable–but Nia had gotten her drunk and she’d been reading a lot of Kryptonian history to learn about their witches and it just…happened. She’d wanted to see how long until Kara noticed. It had been funny at the time.
OR
Lena didn't think her research into Kryptonian witches would result in the Cult of Rao trying to burn her at the stake--but sometimes even geniuses are wrong.

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her blonde hair in a stiff updo and her eyes magnified by large eyeglasses, and her makeup is well-applied if a little outdated.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
The jury summons arrives on a Friday.
“You have to get yourself disqualified,” Alex says.
Kara frowns. “What about my civic duty?”
Her sister ignores her. She’s on her phone, already finding her an out. “Your occupation should qualify you for an exemption,” she discovers. “It says here, if you’re full-time military, or a firefighter, or a cop—”
Kara holds the letter up for Alex to read. “They didn’t summon Supergirl,” she says. “They summoned Kara Danvers, freelance food critic and full-time reporter.”
-
In which no one escapes jury duty, not even superheroes and celebrity CEOs, and when Kara Danvers and Lena Luthor end up in sequestration, well—the defense submits that there's more than one type of civic service.

Summary
The first time Lena asks Kara out for dinner, Kara is honestly more than a little surprised. They barely know each other outside of a couple of interviews she did with Lena, and that one time Kara saved Lena’s life, but then again that was Supergirl and not Kara Danvers. They definitely don’t run in the same circles, and Kara is secretly convinced that Lena either only hangs out with powerful businessmen or is best friends with famous actors and models and spends her weekends on some yacht in the Caribbean. Well out of her league. So when Lena invites her, Kara’s brain has trouble catching up.
“Dinner? You mean, us? You and me? At a restaurant?”
Lena looks a little amused, but there’s also something else in her eyes that Kara can’t quite place.
“Yes, a restaurant. Unless you don’t want to?"
OR: Five times they go out for dinner as friends, plus one time they realize they've been going on dates all along

Summary
Lena knows that she would have been a lot more timid, her lips curved into a smile much more gentle if it hadn’t been for those few intimidating words in the script, the ones telling her just how sure she is in approaching the blonde sprawled out on the bed in front of her.
Or, Lena and Kara are actors who play a couple on screen. They're not supposed to actually fall for each other.

Summary
A greek mythology au that nobody asked for:
A loft renter, a journalist, a general lover of food, Kara Danvers was all of these, and something more than that. She had thrown herself into hiding among the mortals after the war with Ares, and it was all going as well as she had wanted it to be.
That is, until her father summoned her to complete a mission concerning a rogue demon, Lex Luthor. Anxious to get her father's off her back, Kara would have never expected the appearance of Lena Luthor in her life, an enigmatic presence who seemed more than what she turned out to be.
or Kara is Zeus' daughter and Lena is just perfect.
--
As she looked at the woman who had taken the liberty to sit next to her, Kara couldn't help but think that there was some truth to the humans' claim that her father did not make mistakes."I'm Lena."
Because Lena…had to be the most beautiful creature she had ever come across in this realm.

Not great overall but has good mythology arc. Interesting details especially about Lena’s background. Wished there was an equally impressive Kara plot. Or that Kara was as not so inactive in the story, mainly reacting instead of creating.

Summary
Kara’s struggling to find work. Lena’s struggling to find herself. When fate (with some help from Cat Grant) casts them into the same orbit they find themselves completely off-script, because while everyone knows about the sins of the father, they're somewhat less clear about the sins of one’s siblings. Throw into that an audience hungry for stories at the expense of fact, a showrunner with a plan nobody saw coming, and a co-star who steadfastly refuses to keep it in his pants, and you’ve got a tale so dramatic even the protagonists have noticed.
or
the one where they’re both actresses with a surprising amount of baggage for two people who haven’t met yet.

Kara is on a date with Michael but cannot seem to take her eyes off a green-eyed stranger. Kara and the stranger hit it off and lots of fluff and sex ensues.
Summaries suck because they give away things that will be better finding out when reading. There is a lot that happens, just give it a shot.

Summary
“Kara…” Lena whispers, looking close to tears. “You did that for me?”
Kara shakes her head, pulling Lena closer. “I did it for both of us. I was holding myself back because it was easier that way, but I didn’t think about what it was doing to you. Especially this week. I’ll tell everyone else tomorrow, I promise. I just wanted Alex to know first, she would have killed me if Winn found out at the same time she did –“
Kara’s ramble is cut off by soft, insistent lips, and the entire weight of Lena’s body being thrown into her arms.

Coming out is hard, Kara gets injured, Lena hacks the DEO to find her, and make-up sex makes it all better.
