    Summary

    "Supergirl has been there for me - a person who judges me on the premise of my last name, but my best friend hasn't," Lena says, flatly.

    "Lena, I'm... I'm sorry. I was trying to catch Lex for you," Kara says, earnestly. "That's why I'm doing this. Of course, I care about you."

    "You care about me a little less than you do as the source of your story." Lena takes a sip of her scotch.

    "No, no! It's not like that! I wish I could explain..." Kara nearly stomps her foot in frustration.

    Lena raises an eyebrow and waits.

    "But..." Kara looks down at the ground. "But maybe it's better if I just go." She turns and walks out of the room.

    The sudden departure cracks Lena's heart, and she blinks back tears.

    What if Kara returned to confess instead?

    Summary

    "And you are?" Lena says, holding her hand out to shake. Kara takes it, and puts in every effort not to crush it in her nervousness. Lena's hand is dry and cold where Kara's is uncomfortably hot.

    "Kara Danvers," Kara says, putting on her best smile. "Reporter. It's great to meet you, I think we really – "

    "Ah, Kara Danvers. The newest addition to the roster, and yet one who has her own private office on the 21st floor," Lena interrupts.

    How would early season 3 look if Lena and Kara didn't meet until after Lena bought CatCo, and Lena thought Kara was a total nepo baby?

    Summary

    Lena looks at him wide eyed. “Save us? What are you saving us from exactly? We're dead."

    “Well, not quite.”

    Kara steps into his personal space then, giving every bit the aura of a steaming hero. Lena walks up a step as well, putting the back of her hand on Kara's chest and giving her a shove backwards before she thinks much of it.

    “What the fuck do you mean ‘not quite?’ If we're dead, we're dead. There is no in between.” Lena says incredulously.

    “Actually,” the angel snaps his fingers and a chair appears in the middle of the room. He takes a seat, crossing his legs and a book similar to the one she was trying to get off the shelf appears in his hands. Nirvana – A Spirit Guide. “There is.”

    Pulled from their lives by a meddling angel, Lena and Kara must learn to work together if they have any hope of returning home. But there is one small problem with that.

    They really hate each other.

    Summary

    Kara cradles her pile of dirty plates. She doesn’t know how to open Lena’s brand new dishwasher without ripping the handle apart. She usually figures these things out through trial and error, but she’s never been alone in Lena’s apartment, and she can’t risk winging it in front of her.

    So, she just stands by the sink and watches the hot water redden Lena’s sensitive skin, the light glinting off her beautiful earrings, and my happiness bites the plum of your mouth.The verse comes to her, unbidden, from one of their weekly poems. Lena always chooses poems with such physicality to them. Always real, touchable.

    ---

    Or: Kara is an alien, Lena is a genius. Their strangeness separates and connects them to the world and each other in peculiar ways. Being human in Lena’s eyes allows Kara to tap into parts of herself she hadn’t been able to explore before, but she knows her secret will one day stop being a bridge between them, and they’ll both lose the version of Kara Lena has grown to love. (Tender slow burn, mutual respect, bittersweetness and tentative physicality galore! Some angst and a lot of joy)
