    Summary

    Haley had her life all figured out. She'd study photography, find success in the big city, and never return to the drab little valley she'd known all her life. She’d always believed she was meant for more than the people around her, so it never once crossed her mind that she might end up just like them: Stuck in Stardew Valley with crushed dreams, boring routines, and no hope for the future.

    After everything she planned for her life came crashing down on her, there's only one thing that can drag her, and her almost-pro-gridball-star friend, out of their misery and back onto the path of happiness: The new farmer in town.

    With the weight of falling in love, community pressure, and her desire for success heavy on her shoulders, Haley must overcome her own internal challenges to figure out what she really wants in life, and if her wildest dreams are even worth hanging onto.

    Or: The one where Haley learns a few lessons, dating in a small town is a nightmare, and mine safety should really be taught in school.

    Summary

    “Kara, the fresh box is on your top shelf, can you—”

    There are a lot of plausible explanations for what happens next. Maybe it’s because they’re already goofing around, maybe it’s because Kara broke her step stool last week and she can fly so she hasn’t needed to replace it, or maybe it’s because she just really likes touching Lena lately, but instead of, well, anything else, Kara’s first impulse is to grab Lena just below her waist and lift her up so she can reach the tea.

    It’s the soft, ever so slightly breathless “oh” from Lena as Kara hoists her up that knocks whatever autopilot is engaged in Kara’s brain offline, and her first conscious thought is that Lena’s thighs are soft.

    or, Lena keeps needing help getting things down from high shelves. What’s a Kryptonian to do?

    Summary

    This is a simple story of two childhood friends, shown in glimpses over the years, as they develop their relationship and learn more about each other as time goes on. But it's also about the poor, frustrated people who love them, respect their boundaries and try very hard not to meddle in their friendship.

    Summary

    “Wait, when you say ‘you’ll be teaching’, you mean…both of us?” Kara asks, sounding more than a little apprehensive. “Lena and I will be teaching it together?”

    Lena’s own apprehension is so high that she’s fairly sure she’s seconds away from hyperventilation, but she’s surprising even herself with how well she’s hiding it.

    “Astute observation, Miss Danvers. It’s clear to anyone in the room that you two have…magnetism.” Cat sounds matter-of-fact, but the casual way she states that other people - both students and coworkers - have noticed how she and Kara interact makes Lena want to sink into the floor and disappear.

    OR

    Kara and Lena are teachers, thirst is abundant, and communication is hard.

    Summary

    Kara is granted an opportunity like no other when she finds out she is to be among the first group of foreign journalists to ever step foot in the previously isolationist country of Theonia. Newly crowned Queen Lena, who is completely unknown to the wider world, has brought democracy and peace to her troubled nation following her brother's tyrannical rule. She is now attempting to achieve an even bigger goal of finally integrating her nation into the international community... against the wishes of many of her citizens.

    Queen Lena has proven herself to be dutiful and loyal, placing her responsibility to her people above all else. But will she be willing to sacrifice her heart when an american journalist so easily steals it away?

    Summary

    “Nah, you way over-tipped last night. This one’s on the house.”

    Lena’s shoulders slump in mock exasperation. “Kara, don’t start with me.”

    “I am absolutely starting with you.”

    What a smug little shit, Lena thinks. But God is she cute. “You really don’t want to play this game.”

    "Yeah? Maybe I do.”

    It’s said so softly, so gently, and if this was one of Siobhan’s movies, they wouldn’t be talking about the money or drinks at all, they’d be talking about something clenching around Lena’s chest, something stifling, a loneliness that paralyzes her bones.

    “Don’t blame me when you lose,” Lena says with a gentle upturn of her mouth, her voice low and crackling, leaving a fifty-dollar bill on the bartop before she turns away.

    Summary

    It’s not like Kara deliberately sets out to make her life harder than it should be. It’s not her fault that she’s excitable, okay, and she forgets things sometimes and maybe those things should not be forgotten under any circumstances. Maybe those things include, well, housing forms, which as it turns out are super important to submit on time if she wants to not be homeless on her sophomore year of college.

    Her sister’s going to give her so much crap about this.

    Alternatively: in which Kara forgot to fill out the housing form and was left with no choice but to live in the most exclusive apartment on campus.

    Summary

    “I hope we can be friends,” she says and Lena’s throat feels thick at the sound of it. “I care about you, you know.”

    Heat spikes in the back of Lena’s eyes. “Friends,” she repeats. “Of course. Why couldn’t we be?”
     
    The answer is obvious. They were never really friends, even when they technically were. Lena has zero idea how Kara plans to manage it now with all their history between them.

     A sort of retelling of S2 under the premise that Lena and Kara went to college together and dated.

    Summary

    Kara isn’t dating. Lena isn’t dating. Kara and Lena try not dating each other. Even if the lines start to blur a little. Even if they do the most girlfriend things.

    They won’t date.

    They won’t.

    Or: Everyone is convinced that they’re dating. Kara drunkenly makes out with her best friend one day. Lena doesn’t make a big deal out of it. So why should Kara?

    Summary

    After the unrestricted office access, and the flowers, and the surprise visits to Catco, everyone just kinda starts to assume Kara and Lena are dating, and maybe they should let them. (AKA, Lena and Kara really just date whilst pretending they're fake dating).
