    Summary

    Kara Zor-El, or Kara Kent as she's known on Earth, was scared. She was scared, anxious, depressed, and trying her best to forget her past by any means necessary. Clark didn't know how to help her anymore; he had exhausted all his options already. And that gutted him.

    For over ten years, ever since Kara’s ship crashed to Earth, Clark has devoted his life to protecting and taking care of his cousin, treating her like his own daughter because that's what she deserves. But he doesn't think he's been doing a very good job. Clark had the privilege of grieving a life he never had; he was just a baby when he was sent away from Krypton. Kara didn't have that privilege. She was ten years old when their planet was destroying itself. She went to school, had friends, remembered her parents, and knew about Kryptonian culture firsthand instead of through the crystals Clark inherited when he crashed. She was grieving the life she lost.

    (My crack-fic idea of Clark raising Kara as his daughter and a bit of the relationship background from the one scene we saw in the Superman 2025 movie.)

    (Title is from the song "My Little Girl" By Tim McGraw. Feels fitting, I think.)

    Summary

    If it hadn’t been such a slow day at work, Melinda might not have noticed him come in at all. Well, no, that was a lie. She would have noticed him come in no matter how busy they were... It was just the way that familiar faces managed to draw your attention, whether you wanted them to or not, she supposed, and while it had been nearly two years since they’d spent any real time together, the face of Phil Coulson was still a familiar one to her.

    Or, a college AU in which former high school friends Phil and Melinda reconnect and rekindle their friendship, although Melinda quickly finds that there's more to Phil than she remembered.

    After a roller-coaster of the past year, foster siblings Skye, Jemma, and Bobbi are looking forward to all that a new school year has to offer: new classes, new friends, and the promise of adoption right around the corner. It doesn't take long for each to realize, however, that in order to truly move forward into the future, you first must deal with the past.

    (Sequel to 'The Important Thing is to Try')
