    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

    "So to keep yourself from falling in love, you're…casting a spell to…find love?" Sam says, her face twisted up in confusion as Lena wanders the garden gathering the herbs she needs. It's dark outside, and they're darting between shadows – the garden is here for the kitchen staff to pick fresh ingredients from, and the last time Lillian found her snipping rosemary she was confined to her room for two months.

    "I'm calling for a true love," Lena clarifies. "Amas Veritas. I'm binding myself to a person that doesn't exist."

    "How do you know they don't exist?"

    "They can't. No person can fit all my criteria. And if they don't exist, I can never fall in love."

    OR

    Lena Luthor is cursed. Everyone she loves is doomed to die; it would take someone truly indestructible to survive a magic that’s ingrained in her very bloodline. When she binds herself to a true love that can’t exist, the last thing she expects is for Kara Danvers to turn up and prove her wrong.

    Summary

    “I think you should be my caddie,” Lena says, on her sixth day in Midvale. She realizes maybe her phrasing isn’t entirely clear. “What I mean is, I want you to be my caddie.”

    “I am your caddie,” Kara says, then looks up from where she’s been reading the grass, a teasing smile on her lips. “Right now, even.”

    Lena finds her new caddie on a golf course in the middle of nowhere, and then, she finally starts winning trophies.

    Summary

    Lena.

    It had been years since that name had been uttered by her lips. Years since she had looked into the viridian oasis of her eyes. Years since she had watched her walk away from everything they had built.

    Lena.

    Her dream self had no such hesitance to speak that name. No, in slumber things were still as they had been. Still innocent and hopeful and loving. Because yes, they had been in love. So very much in love. But it hadn’t been enough.

    Summary

    Lena lets out a careful breath and says, “James and I have decided to end our— association.”

    What a perfectly weird and roundabout way to describe the end of a romantic relationship, Kara thinks. “Oh?” she says, aptly demonstrating her own comparative lack of eloquence.

    It earns her one of Lena’s crinkly smiles at least, affection clear on her best friend’s face. “Should I feel offended that you don’t seem all that surprised?” she flusters.

    “No,” Kara says, “I am,” and she is, is the thing, she's actually stunned, but she’s something else, much more than that.

    She’s elated.

    “Bummer,” Kara says.

    -

    In which Kara makes a tiny new enemy, Alex has an actual functioning gaydar, and Lena breaks up with James only to immediately start seeing someone else. And Kara is fine! Except for the part where she’s really, really not.
