    Summary

    Really hated like all of season 5 and the Lena character assassination. I wrote this to make myself feel better.
    After Lex exposes Kara’s identity, Lena walks away before anger can turn into something worse. A month later, an alien invasion brings her back to National City—and back into Kara’s orbit. As they face danger together, honesty, trust, and long-buried feelings resurface, giving them a chance to rebuild what was broken.

    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

    “So what you’re saying,” she said, “is that you are an awful, terrifying creature of the night. That you are driven by a desire for blood and suffering. Which is, I want to clarify, nothing I have not always known, and you are, in fact, apparently less awful as a vampire. But, no, shut up, I’m processing shit here. You are nightmares made flesh and all that good stuff and you are also still a picky eater?”

    Ten years after they first parted ways, Gideon finds out that her childhood enemy Harrowhark is now a vampire with a delicate stomach. Sucks to be Harrow--pun fully intended--because Gideon is one of the few people whose blood she can stomach. Gideon is never going to let this go.

    Summary

    Harrowhark Nonagesimus, graduate student and resident of a haunted house, accepts a cat sitting gig in a failing effort to move on after the end of her not-quite-relationship with local barista Gideon Nav.

    "It had been three weeks since she had last spoken to Gideon. Gideon hadn't said 'don't talk to me anymore,' not exactly. She'd left things open-ended, which was worse."
