Summary
“Don’t even try it. One hour, you hear me? Then I get back to studying.”
“Fine,” Kara sighs, casting her eyes around for inspiration for an hour-long activity – and after a few moments, her eyes land on her camera, sitting on Lena’s dresser where she set it after she got back from class.
“…How about I photograph you?”

Kara and Lena are college girlfriends who decide to make a sex tape.

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
Water fell in an even, rhythmic pattern, echoing across cobblestones. A shallow puddle gathered in the low corner of a damp dungeon. Chill seeped from the cracks in the walls and floor.
Chains clinked gently across stone, and an occasional draw of haggard breath pushed through the silence. A woman was on her feet, barely, knees bent and head hanging, hands manacled above her head. She was gripping and releasing the chains in time to the drips, trying to keep blood flowing through her aching arms and shoulders. She inhaled and exhaled slowly, dry tongue occasionally darting out onto dry lips. Blonde hair hung down, framing her face, sticking to her neck.
Kara Zor-El, princess of Krypton, was a prisoner – and she was scheduled to become a martyr.

Summary
When Lena meets Kara, a soldier home on leave as she waits for her next deployment, at a local coffee shop one afternoon, her life is completely tipped upside down in an instant. As they start talking, Lena feels drawn to Kara; there's something about her warmth and openness that fills the gap left by Lena's troubled childhood.
Growing closer over the next few months, falling fast for each other, the two of them find themselves unable to stay away, but Kara's next deployment is inevitable, and with promises that she'll come home, Lena waits for her.

Summary
Lillian’s cool tones still cause the same reaction they have since Lena was a child, when her tears were met with cold indifference and harsh reminders that Luthors did not cry. Her brain shutters, the panic pushed to the back of her thoughts as she straightens and obediently follows her mother and Mon-El to the boarding ramp.
Her fiancee’s grip is like a vise on her arm as he leads her onto the ship, into a life she doesn’t want and a country she doesn’t know. Lena usually tries to stay firmly on the side of realism rather than fancy, but with Mon-El at her side, Lillian ahead, and Mon-El’s loyal manservant Corben following them with the bags, Lena has the distinct feeling that she’s being dragged onto the Titanic in chains.
