2) Mom adopted me right away.
3) It must have been a closed adoption.
4) Did the agency in Boston ever exist?
5) My birth mother is in Storybrooke somewhere.- Language:

Summary
Destiny. That’s what the Dark One tells them, an odd strain on his face whenever he speaks to Regina. That’s what they’re facing here. An inevitable ending. Regina has orchestrated her death once, and she’ll do it again, because that’s the only way this story can end. No one can interfere, not even Marian herself, and only Regina can control whether or not that moment is the one that decides her fate.

Summary
“Gelato?” Jess asked - guffawed. “That’s what you want?”
“There’s a little place off North and 73rd."
“Gelato,” Jess repeated, unable to process anything past that simplest of fact.
Because it truly was preposterously small and hardly counted as a suitable reward for over 7300 cumulative hours worked over the last two years without so much as a thank you from the board, her peers, or the headlines.
or //
Lena Luthor just wanted some damn gelato, so why is it hailing golf balls?

Summary
It's freezing, so she must be back there, where it's never warm, and she can't move so she must be back there, where the yellow sun can't touch her, and suddenly she can't breathe.
"I'm not there," Kara gasps into the night. She is alone, and was alone there too, and thinks maybe she's been alone her whole life. She forces her eyes open, refusing to even blink or else the blackness behind her eyes might consume her. "I'm not there, I'm home, I'm fine, everyone is fine, I'm not there."

Summary
It’s been a month since she found out.
It’s been a month, and in that time, Lena hasn’t stopped trying to not think about it. In that time, she’s probably gone through the five stages of grief ten times over. In that time, Lena has just—stopped working. Her CPU has crashed and burned and flung itself off a fucking mountain cliff but the memory unit is somehow still intact and she just Can Not seem to forget.
And she’s tried, okay? Tried drowning herself in work, tried her luck at yoga, even ramped up her already high alcohol intake. Tried every trick in the book that would get her to stop thinking about Kar—no, she doesn’t even know a Kara anymore. About Supergirl.
(All those, even altogether, worked maybe barely.)
Or: Kara lies to Lena, Lena lies to Kara, Lena lies to herself and Kara really just wants it all to stop so she can have her Lena back.

She Is Everything And More (She Is Home To Me) by BroodyJC for ratherembarrassing

Summary
Her eyes speak a thousand words she couldn’t say, choosing her words carefully until she settles with “You love my daughter, don’t you?”
And she’s taken aback, because it shouldn’t be this obvious. She shouldn’t know. No one was supposed to know. Well, Lena had just found out herself, with the warmth that took over her chest last night when Kara didn’t think twice before hugging her by the waist and tugging her closer.
Sometimes, being ignorant was the best way of self-preservation. She lusted the moments before she knew, she lusted being able to put those thoughts back, to just be. Because now that she knew, she couldn’t unsee it.
There was something on Eliza’s knowing smile that almost made it too easy blurting out the truth, blurting out that love was too little of an emotion for what she felt. But she knew better than that.
“She’s my best friend.” The words sound wrong to her ears, they taste bad on her tongue. “Of course I love her.”
“You know that’s not what I meant.”

“But you’re... you.” Winn gestures wildly toward Lena, “if you can’t find dates then what hope do the rest of us have?!”
Lena doesn’t know why she says it, only that she feels it climbing up in her throat, an itch that she didn’t know she wanted to scratch until the words are tumbling out of her, raw and shamefully satisfying.
“Well, if I’m such a catch then maybe someone should just step up and ask me out then.”
-OR-
A video of Lena goes viral, prompting a cascade of suitors to come knocking at her door.

“What’s your real name?” Lena whispers.
“My name,” Supergirl says, shaking and fragmented like the words are splintering as soon as they pass her lips, “is Kara Zor-El. You-- you know me,” she clutches to herself to keep upright, barely able to trace the outline of Lena through the blood and tears that blur her vision and then streak freely down her cheeks, “as Kara Danvers.”

Summary
'Huh', Sloane thinks. 'Riley Bennett.'
It wouldn't be the first woman Sloane Caldwell had ever had a "huh" thought about. She'd had a few "experimental" moments in college, and of course there was that time Eric and she were entertaining the idea of a threesome in some desperate attempt to save their marriage. But of course, nothing ever came of those things. It wasn't something that even crossed her mind frequently. But in this moment, watching Riley walk away, her scent lingering in the space between them now, she hesitated to admit that she felt something stir.

Summary
“I think Nebula hates me,” Mantis announces one morning.
“She hates everyone,” Rocket says. “Don’t take it personal.”
Mantis isn’t taking it personal, per se. In fact, if asked, Mantis would probably say that not taking it personal is both a startlingly accurate summary of herself and something she should probably work on. It’s just that Nebula seems to tolerate everyone except for her, in her own little way.
“Just give it some time,” Rocket says. “Eventually, she’ll start to pretend to tolerate you like she does the rest of us.”
Or: four times Mantis thinks Nebula hates her, and one time she realizes she doesn't.

Summary
“What is your ship called?” Mantis asks. Asking any question of Nebula is very hit or miss, she is finding. This one seems to hit.
“Silent Death,” she says in her low, husky voice. “Though Thanos’s death will be anything but silent.”
“Oh. I see.” Mantis says politely.
“Do you?”
“No."
___
Nebula doesn’t especially like Mantis. Mantis is mostly ambivalent towards Nebula. But Mantis needs a ride, and Nebula’s got a ship. AKA Mantis and Nebula’s Road Trip of Revenge (and Love!).
Set in the period between GOTG2 and Infinity War. Title and inspiration from Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, and written for BugborgWeek2023 day 5: based on a song.
