Summary
“And then?” Lena asks, shifting a bit closer to Kara.
“Then I’d move forward and just…”
Kara does as she says—she places one sturdy hand on the spot where Lena’s thigh meets her hip; Lena can see the smattering of freckles on Kara’s cheeks, the splotchy-red from the alcohol and the cold beneath them—but she doesn’t complete her move just yet.
Her eyes lower to Kara’s lips. They’re pink, glossy and parted slightly again, and, really, right now, there’s nothing else Lena wants more than feeling them on her own again. So, she raises her hand and lightly presses her fingers to the soft flesh of Kara’s cheek.
“Are you sure about this?” she whispers.
Kara’s breath is heavy, shuddery when Lena trails her fingers down to the corner of her mouth. She licks her lips. “Are you?”
OR
Lena hates going to parties, but she ends up attending many as Sam's plus-one. However, she has a secret silver lining: Kara, with whom she often hides out from the noise. After they give into their mutual attraction, they keep seeing each other, and they figure it won't hurt if they keep their hangouts between them. After all, it's not like they're really together, right?

Summary
“How about we do brunch tomorrow to celebrate?” Kara asks, sitting up so her back’s leaning against her headboard. “We could go to Rosie’s and get cinnamon roll pancakes or something cool like that.”
“Not tomorrow.”
Kara blinks, then she sighs. Something hard and heavy tightens in her gut. “School?” she asks.
“Yeah. I… Well, I actually made a new friend at the lab.” There’s a plasticky rustle on the other side of the line. Maybe Lena’s sitting on the big leather chair in her study, swiveling slightly from side to side. “Her name’s Andrea,” she continues. “We were assigned together, and she’s sort of been interested in learning about my code, so she invited me to her place to study it.”
“Oh.” Kara’s brow furrows; she starts biting her thumbnail. “Um, okay. Well, Sunday, then?”
OR
When she's not focused on her English Lit degree, Kara works at her family's coffee shop, joking with her sister, chatting with customers, and spending her downtime with Lena. When Lena's time starts being taken up by a coveted internship, though, Kara cannot figure out why she's started feeling so annoyed with Lena's new friend.

Summary
“I… didn’t mean to cause any problems,” Sadie finally manages to get out after the increasingly uncomfortable silence in the office makes it clear Marie expects her to make a case. “I certainly don’t have any pretensions of getting published. I just… happened to be standing by at the right time. That’s—”
“We value respect in this office, Sadie,” Marie cuts her off, her syllables particularly sharp on that third word. “No one is more revered—more recognized—than a woman who knows her place, and you… Rachel tells me, actually, that you spent the Best New Restaurants dinner slyly asking political questions to the guests, when all she instructed you to do was bring them to her. What is the one thing I told you your position couldn’t offer, when you first came in?”
“I— I know—”
“What is it?”
“Editorial assistants are not allowed to write.”
“Under no circumstances.”

Sadie figuring her world out in three acts.

Summary
“Headed to the wedding?”
“Of my sister?” Kara replies curtly, pushing her bag onto the compartment again—with success, this time. She turns to give Lena a flatly irritated look. “Yes. I am.”
Lena nods, sardonically amused. “What are the odds?”
Kara rolls her eyes. “I don’t think there are thousands of flights headed to Sydney every day,” she says, sticking her hands in the pockets of her sweatpants.
“Oh, but there kind of are,” Lena pushes on, each word dripping with more and more smooth condescension. “There’s American, Qantas, Qantas through Dubai, codeshares. Just our luck, I suppose.”
“Right,” Kara answers flatly, pulling her hands out to cross her arms tight. “How blessed are we.”
OR
By a lovely happenstance, Kara shares an electric first date with a beautiful stranger she meets at a coffee shop—but, the morning after, their firey chemistry turns ice-cold. Two years later, they both find themselves thrust together again at a destination wedding in Sydney. Will they be able to get through their unresolved attraction unscathed?

Summary
It begins with a flash.
There’s a blinding light and a high-pitched frequency that has her dropping to her knees, eyes shut, hands covering her ears. It’s gone as quickly as it came, but the pitch reverberates through her ears even after it has stopped.
She opens her eyes, quickly blinking them into focus and—
Finds herself staring at a younger version of Kara, curled up on the floor with her hands over her ears, eyes shut. Then she looks to her right, and there’s an equally young Lena Luthor petrified on the floor.
Alex’s heart drops.

Summary
She hiccups, voice caught on a sob. “I’m sorry, I don't- I don’t have anyone else to call.”
“Lena?” There’s confusion, concern too. “What’s wrong?”
Kara still knows her too well even after all this time.
Her voice wobbles when she speaks, “You’re the most important person in my life, you know that, right Kara?”
