Summary
“I want you to imagine that you're full of tiny itty-bitty boxes and then I want you to take your feelings and I want you to shove them into those itty bitty boxes and then I want you to take those and shove them way deep down till you forget you even had feelings in the first place”
The great Lena Luthor said those VERY unhealthy words once in season four and I wanted to know what would happen if Brainy figured out that this was NOT the way of coping and helped Lena instead of the other way around. Set right after the season 4 finale.OR
This is what the outcome was of one too many rewatches and my brain not being able to stop with the "what if?" questions

Summary
Alex manages to knock out the last goon in the room. She pants as she signals to the team to keep moving. She waits for the agents to exit the room before quieting her voice. “It’s- it’s not good, Lena…”
Lena stops in her tracks, pressing the phone harder against her ear to ensure she doesn’t miss anything.
“We lost contact with Supergirl about 20 minutes ago. Last report that came in was Kryptonite was present. We’ve been trying to push our way through to her, but…”
“Has there been any sign?”
“There’s been a few craters and holes punched through the walls. We are following the trail, but we still can’t raise her on comms.”
OR
Kara's life is in danger. Lena does everything she can to find and save the love of her life. When they do find her, she's not the same. The question is: will she ever be?

Summary
Kara can't take keeping her secret identity from Lena anymore, so she decides to confess to her best friend that she's Supergirl. They, little by little, become best friends again, but some way it's just new. They can't go back to how they were before.
It takes them time to find out that sometimes what you needed was right next to you. Or that no matter how much someone hurts you, sometimes you can't stop loving then (or you can't keep on hating them if you ever could at all). Their relationship is built upon lies that are starting to crumble and will leave them hurt. The question is if what they feel about each other is enough to stay, if it's friendship, if they should just give up, but most importantly, how far are they willing to go for each other.

Summary
The stillness was a stark contrast to their predicament. The land, ravaged from the core, lay in ruins. Clouds drifted down like a shroud, and the ground shuddered with tremors. The air, there was a distinct smell but it was indistinguishable. None of them could pinpoint to it. It was Armageddon, yet an eerie calm prevailed. A phrase echoed in her mind, "calm before the storm," a whisper from a past beyond the stars.
The stars burned brighter, mirroring their motherland. Both would burn until they perished. Her people were never ready for such tragedy; no one could be. Yet the council decided they should remain unaware of their fate. Perhaps there was a way, perhaps there was not. Nevertheless, they made the necessary preparations for their civilization to survive, even if it meant leaving their motherland behind.
In this moment of uncertainty, they chose their families first, embodying their dictum: "Blood's Promise."

This story is Lena Luthor centric. It's a slow burn so, yep buckle up, it’s going to be a long ride. It’s been circulating in my mind for months and I still planning to where this story go. -

Summary
Lena was falling. Air rushing around her, grasping desperately for anything to hold onto. There was nothing to grab, she was in the middle of nowhere about to crash into the open ocean. The creature that kidnapped her had just pulled her from her office, she had been writing a proposal. None of that really mattered as she rocketed toward the ocean, screaming as she fell.

Summary
By 5:45 AM she’s drenched and silently grateful that Jack doesn’t try to high-five her after cooldown. She walks to the café in the lobby and orders a black coffee from a barista who’s too tired to care that her ponytail is soaked and she looks like someone who files lawsuits for sport. She doesn’t sit. She stands by the window and sips the coffee like it’s a punishment. It is bitter and acidic and entirely undeserving of a pastry accompaniment.
She pulls out her phone. She will not check Kara’s Instagram story. She does not check Kara’s Instagram story. She definitely will not check Kara’s Instagram story.
... She absolutely checks Kara’s Instagram story.
The photo is artfully out of focus. A table. A hand. A whisky glass with condensation. The caption: good company, better drinks.
Lena stares at the hand. Manicured. Red polish. Not hers.
She locks her phone, drops it in her bag, and downs the rest of her coffee like a shot. The burn matches the muscle strain in her legs, and there’s a twisted satisfaction in that symmetry.
OR
Kara's moving on. Lena finds herself at the gym most mornings to try and not go complete insane over it.

Summary
Lena never thought she would form a friendship with and a crush on Kara Danvers, a Rolling Stone reporter who would come to tear down all the walls she built for fear of the pain and disappointment she has been living with for as long as she can remember. Only Kara and her sweetness are able to stand against the black cloud that surrounds Lena.
Andrea hated pop with all her soul for being so plastic and soulless, as the eternal rivalry of metal and rock against commercial music has taught her. But Samantha Arias — the powerful, talented, beautiful, and enigmatic former StarGirls United member who is now her tourmate — makes Andrea eat her words as she steals Andrea's self-proclaimed rebellious, cold, and unattainable heart.

Summary
What the title and the tags say. I love this character and I wanted to give her a better story. Will it work? Will it die an embarrassing death? Who knows!!
Onto the actual summary.
Lena Luthor knew her family was fucked up. So she set out to right their wrongs and maybe stop them altogether. That's it. That's all she wanted to do. Stop the Luthors, and build her company back up. But then she got sucked into this hero business.
Okay, maybe she shouldn't have gotten paranoid and researched the shit out of everyone in her vicinity. Then she wouldn't have all this information about them. But she just wanted to be sure! And okay, maybe she shouldn't have used her tech to do some of the things she did if she didn't want to be a "hero". But what was she supposed to do?! Just let people suffer?? Just because she did some things that heroes do does NOT mean she is a hero. No sir.
Now that she is mixed up in this, though, she will have to muddle through somehow. That doesn't mean she has to be happy about it. She's gonna bitch about it because there are no perks in being surrounded by either self-righteous idiots or brooding geniuses.
Enter Diana Prince.
Okay... Maybe there are some perks after all. -
