    Summary

    The mechanic isn’t just pretty – she’s muscular. And sweaty. And broad. Her shoulders are wider than they look at first glance, and as she reaches up to remove her hat and wipe at her brow with her forearm, Lena can see her bicep flex.

    Lena tries very hard not to be affected by that, or by the adorable red line the ball cap leaves on the woman’s forehead.

    “Hi! I’m Kara. James said your Porsche gave out?”

    OR

    Needing to get away from the stress of her job for a few months, Lena buys a summer lake house in the most remote town she can find. She fully intends on keeping to herself, resting, and interacting as little as possible with the locals.

    Until her car breaks down, and the town mechanic happens to be the hottest woman she’s ever seen.

    Summary

    Lena’s mouth twists into a tiny smile and she realizes that she’s beginning to lean forward. Closer to Kara’s surprised smile. She turns and walks back over to her desk, she really has a lot of work to do. “I hope this isn’t the last time we talk,” she adds, and finds that she means it.

    (Or, a spaceship explodes. Kara decides to become a reporter. And Lena Luthor finally gets something like a happy ending.)

    Summary

    After being left heartbroken, Lena finds herself in Scotland with nothing but a broken watch, a photograph of the woman who broke her heart, and the sudden urge to go for a walk. A very long walk. With stubborn determination, she sets out on a cross-country journey, with the intention of fixing her broken heart and winning back the woman that she loves in grand gesture in Paris.

    Until Lena finds herself stranded at a teahouse in the south of England, her trip to Paris delayed, and unable to bring herself to leave for some reason, finding that her heart doesn't need to be fixed; it just needs to be loved by the right person.

    Summary

    When Lena finds out Kara and Supergirl are lovers, of course she’s happy for them. Ecstatic, even. She’s always sworn no one could be good enough for her Kara, but Supergirl comes close. Nevermind that Supergirl abandons Kara on dates, drags her onto dangerous battlefields for “the story,” and doesn’t seem to give a flying hunk of kryptonite that Kara is constantly being kidnapped to bring Supergirl down. No, Lena is thrilled.

    The DEO stages a relationship between Kara Danvers and Supergirl to foil Cadmus. Lena doesn’t handle it as well as she could.

    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.

    Summary

    Men still can’t take a hint in the 22nd century. Sometimes the most effective way to make them realize they don’t have a chance is to appear to already be taken. And if you happen to develop actual feelings along the way, well, Surak teaches to repress, repress, repress.

    Summary

    On an away mission gone wrong, Christine and T'Pring are stuck on an uncivilized planet as pon farr descends on T'Pring. In spite of their long-standing differences and unstated rivalry over Spock, Christine offers herself as tribute to resolve the blood fever with sex. But sex isn't enough. To ease the plak tow, a mental bond must be formed, and once formed, well . . .
    Okay, so they might technically be married now?
    Obviously, this cannot stand. But with T'Pring's family not wanting to acknowledge the bond and lots of complicated Vulcan legal drama, getting a divorce on Vulcan is a lot harder than looks.
    And living smashed together in a (tiny but expensive) Shi'Kahr studio loft apartment while they try to sort this thing out is definitely going to lead to something. Whether that's bloodshed or bonding, we will have to see.

    Summary

    When Lena returns, Kara is obediently sitting on one of the barstools, her blazer neatly folded on the stool next to her, the peas still balancing on the back of her hand. Her holster contrasts against the white of her shirt, and Lena traces the dark leather up against her chest, her eyes zeroing in on the splatters of blood that darken the collar.

    OR Bodyguard AU where, at Jess's behest, Lena hires Argo Protection Services when there's an attempt on her life and Kara becomes her personal bodyguard, and maybe something more.

    Summary

    “Carrie, Carrie, Carrie,” Sue moans, chanting nonsensically, grabbing the girl's lax face with trembling, bloody hands. Red smears down her pale, round face under Sue’s fingers. “I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's okay, you're gonna- you- you…”

    (i wish i could fix this)

    Carrie convulses in her arms, a choked laugh that ends in a faint wheeze. The girl’s fingers are starting to squeeze on her face and a manic light has reclaimed her. In Sue’s head, all around and within her, there is a voice, kicking and clawing and shrieking in what she feels and knows is one last desperate surge of unfathomable power .

    Summary

    She finds that she laughs more with Natasha, almost as much as she does with Clint, but for different reasons. Clint had his huge heart and his stupid jokes and easygoing demeanor that Laura had always been attracted to, his perpetually messed up hair and klutzy manner that caused him to drop a slice of pizza on the floor or spill coffee on the couch -- all of the things that had made her fall in love with him in the first place.

    Natasha, for all that she was stoic and rigid and carved out of knives and battle scars, was warm in a way that Laura couldn’t quite describe, as if she was a perfect fit for the missing piece Laura had always been looking for in both a friend and a partner.

    Summary

    “That’s far enough. One more step and I’ll shoot,” Eli said, voice firm despite her shaking legs.

    The woman stopped, her smirk growing to a grin. “With what bullets?” She pulled a magazine from behind her back and tossed it to the ground at Eli’s feet. “Besides,” she continued, “We both know you don’t need a gun to be dangerous.”

    She knew. She knew, but she didn’t. There was no hint of recognition behind those emerald eyes, yet the Widow still saw what she was: a freak.
    ...

    Eliska Ruzicka is an international thief with an attitude and a shady past she'd rather forget. But when the woman she's spent the last six years searching for breaks into her apartment, she might not have a choice. Armed with an ipod shuffle and strange abilities that will not be tamed, she sets out to right some wrongs and maybe save the world in the process.

    Natasha Romanoff is an agent of SHIELD and perpetual insomniac trying to wipe the red from her ledger. Her best friend has been brainwashed, the Earth is threatened with annihilation, and her only hope lies in a tattooed stranger with zero respect for authority. All of this would be manageable, but something about this woman's gaze haunts her...
