    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

    With a final sigh, Lena wrenches the door open, and ends up with an armful of tall blonde as the mystery visitor – who had clearly been leaning on it – lurches forwards. Her taser hits the carpet, and the woman rights herself again, apologizing profusely.

    “Shit, sorry Alex, you just took so long and –“ Finally, bright blue eyes track up Lena’s bare legs and silk robe all the way to her face, widening comically.

    “You…are not Alex.”

    OR

    Lena and Alex, two strangers recovering from breakups, swap houses over the holidays for a spur-of-the-moment trip. Neither of them expected to find a holiday fling – but what happens on vacation, stays on vacation. Right?

    AKA: The Holiday is one of my favourite Christmas romcoms, so I decided to make it gay. And half Jewish.

    Summary

    “Kara,” Lena says cautiously, eyeing the bagged tent in the backseat, “Where exactly will we be sleeping?”

    “Oh, I got us a tent! It sleeps four, so it’ll be plenty roomy. And there’s an air mattress under the seat.”

    One air mattress.

    What has she gotten herself into?

    Kara loves to go camping, but hasn’t quite grasped the fine details. Lena, smitten as she is, agrees to go with her. Hijinks, feelings, and bears ensue.

    Summary

    The woman on Lena’s doorstep is, quite frankly, the most confusing person she’s ever seen.

    At first glance she looks like every other housewife Lena has ever encountered. She’s wearing a reddish-brown skirt and a plain yellow blouse, her blonde hair in a stiff updo and her eyes magnified by large eyeglasses, and her makeup is well-applied if a little outdated. If she was standing further away Lena would have guessed that she was in her early forties at least, but after a more thorough look, Lena would be surprised if the visitor was much older than herself.

    The woman’s smile looks a little fixed and her eyes are wide as saucers, staring at Lena silently. Lena clears her throat.

    “…Can I help you?”

    OR

    Lena moves to the suburbs in the spring of 1969 to insulate herself from the world. To avoid getting hopelessly entangled with a married woman ever again. She can keep her head down, host some parties to get her needs met, and disappear.

    Enter, Kara Danvers.
