heard them singing for peace (in my confusion I still believe) by tomas_abe
Fandoms: Supergirl (TV 2015)

Summary
She’s never told anyone, not even Alex, but- she’s known of the presence of other aliens on Earth long before she became Supergirl.
It was in college. She had been in Starbucks when she had heard the rapid heartbeat she usually associated with hummingbirds. Except- it had belonged to a large man standing in line behind her. She had stared hard as he ordered an iced latte and tipped generously. Hard enough for him to feel the gaze and turn in her direction. She remembers that his smile had been shy and his voice warm as he introduced himself.
She had been too afraid to befriend him.

Summary
Pepper didn’t love whatever it implied about herself, but she’d been expecting a sort of stereotypical spinster: steel-gray hair in curlers, shapeless floral housecoat, big eyes blinking myopically behind thick glasses. But the woman who opened the door was a genuine beauty, sexy as hell in a tank top and jean cut-off shorts, and Pepper felt immediately thrown off her guard.
Five times that Pepper Potts visited May Parker at home, and once when May visited Pepper.

Summary
“Do you think therapy would help you?”
“Yes…”, Kara affirmed, a crease simultaneously appearing on her forehead to pre-empt the ‘but’ she was on the precipice of voicing. “But I don’t think that there is anyone suitably equipped to handle a case like mine.”
“What makes you so sure of that?”
“Two reasons.” Kara declared, the shadows of her face darkening all of a sudden.
“And they are?” Percy inquired, pen poised and ready to detail Kara’s expressions and answer.
“Well, first…” Kara sighed before lifting her chin and staring at Percy defiantly, something strong and unbreakable flashing in the young woman’s eyes for the first time. “I’m in love with Lena Luthor.”

Even though Steph has been kept woefully ignorant to Cassandra Cain Wayne's existence for the past three years (which, if Tim and Barbara are to be believed, was accidentally-on-purpose), Steph's winning of her affections quickly becomes a Wayne family affair anyway.

Max knows exactly how cliché it is to be an art student with a gay crush on the barista at the coffee shop. Her secret is: she has one anyway. If Chloe Price didn't smoke, she'd be absolutely perfect.
Chloe's secret is: she doesn't smoke. At least not in the typical sense.

Summary
"It was an idea only an idiot could come up with Regina had said, though she hadn’t disagreed with the plan, and half an hour into the drive Emma’s inclined to believe her."
It has been seven years since Emma rolled into Storybrooke, and she and Regina are finally in a friendship that doesn't teeter on the precipice of hatred. When Regina's pining over Henry, away for the summer at an astronomy programme in Tucson, Emma suggests a road trip to surprise him for his birthday.- Language:

Summary
Lena slides off of her stool, throwing self-preservation to the wind and flinging the door open without looking through the peephole first.
Kara’s wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a sweatshirt Lena vaguely remembers borrowing in what feels like another lifetime. Her hands are in her pockets and her head is dipped forward, but her eyes are looking up at Lena, and there’s an air of uncertainty to her that Lena hasn’t seen in nearly a year. It steals the breath from her lungs and the words from her mouth, and her lips part wordlessly as they watch each other across the threshold.
“Hi,” Kara says softly.
Her weight shifts to rest unevenly on one leg as she looks at Lena, and Lena remembers how easy it was to talk to her, once.

Summary
No, Haley doesn’t like Sierra. How could she like Sierra? The farmer leaves crab pots along the river in front of Haley’s house. She goes out of her way to bother Haley and give her a daffodil she keeps finding in the most random places. She owns a little cow family named after silly, unfunny cow puns. She knocks on Haley’s door to borrow her sister’s sewing machine carrying a bunch of fabric she probably got from her own sheep.
So no, Haley doesn't like her, because even if Sierra is everything new and charming and beautiful, she's also not a boy. And Haley can only wish that she was.

“He’s happy,” Emma repeats, like it’s a mantra.
“You did that,” Mary Margaret tells her. “You gave him that, Emma. You know that, right?”
Regina is the only one sitting directly next to Emma, which is probably why she’s the only one who catches the way her shoulders tense, just a little. “I know.”

Set five years in the future, in a peaceful Storybrooke where Regina is still Mayor, Henry is looking at college prospectuses, and Emma and Hook are expecting a baby. Everyone's got their happy ending; haven't they?- Language:

Summary
Erin Gilbert is not the first straight girl Jillian Holtzmann has ever fallen for.
Here’s the thing: she’s good at patterns. She’s good at identifying patterns. Holtzmann isn't a mathematician but that doesn't mean she's not great at numbers and evaluating data and drawing a conclusion. She's a goddamn genius. This shit is easy in the way that people are difficult. Erin Gilbert is not the second or even the fifth straight girl Jillian’s ever fallen for, and it’s kind of getting to be a problem, except when she sees Dr Erin Gilbert, she thinks, maybe, this woman might be a statistical outlier. Nobody can wear that much tweed and be straight, surely. And she keeps trying, hopefully, to believe that, until the Kevin Crush makes it pretty fucking clear that it’s a losing bet. No big. Jillian is used to this, after all, and it’s totally definitely not going to be a problem at all.

Summary
On a long list of terrible ideas, Imogen reflected, this particular choice on her part really took the top spot.
Her therapy session that week had gone well. Really well, actually. So well that when her therapist had suggested Imogen "take a small step out of her comfort zone", Imogen had seized her rare confidence and decided she’d visit a coffee shop.
A loud coffee shop. Open to the public.
One with other people in it, to be clear.

Summary
Jessica Hoang takes her job very seriously. It’s odd, or uncommon, as she’s learned- people are always so surprised when she seems more loyal to Lena Luthor than the advancement of her own career. She used to think that the whole trope of secretaries selling out their bosses for personal gain existed only in bad TV shows, but, as always, she overestimates the human race.
So when Kara Danvers the reporter starts showing up more often, she’s wary and a little irritated. Yes, Lena said to let her in at any time, so she does so dutifully, but she’s seen her share of reporters and she’s not impressed with the bunch. Words are their trade, and it wouldn’t take much to motivate a reporter to twist Lena’s image around for a pretty buck.
