Summary
"Danvers?"
Oh...that's a voice... That's a very nice voice indeed...
And when Kara looks to the owner of said voice, her eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets, because, really? It's entirely unfair that Lena Luthor can still look that fucking perfect even with red racoon eyes from the goggles she just pulled off her head.

the lesser-known island of lesbros (or how zelena mills got her groove back) by coalitiongirl
Fandoms: Once Upon a Time (TV)

Summary
Zelena twists around again to gape at Emma, who is staring at the woman with the same intensity. With familiar intensity, and Emma turns her head very slowly and catches Zelena’s eyes. “No,” Emma says, but it’s too late.
Like recognizes like. Painfully straight Emma Swan, who has a dozen men chasing her at all times, from the way that Regina tells it, is gay. And it suddenly all makes sense.
“You have the hots for my sister!” Zelena says, maliciously delighted. “How embarrassing.”

Summary
Isn’t it weird, Lena thinks bitterly, how the odds keep on stacking against her?
She never asked to be a Luthor. She isn’t even a real one in the first place. And yet, here she is, dragged by the arms through cold, silent corridors, surrounded by a dozen guards in their polished armor. She is bound, bruised and dirty, escorted to be judged for crimes her brother committed. Lena chuckles derisively. Not Luthor enough in her family’s eyes but enough to be punished in their stead by everyone else.

Summary
Of all the Christmas festivities to get involved in, Lena Luthor did not expect "hitting a stranger with her car and concussing her enough to make her believe she's an alien superhero" to make the list. Kara Zor-El, similarly, also did not anticipate this odd turn of events in her superhero journey. (AU)

Summary
Beatrice finds herself musing not over duty and sacrifice and God, but the truth of angels, if they can be created rather than summoned. If they can take the form of women with overeager mouths and careless limbs and eyes with a depth that beckons - a crooked finger, a spiral staircase - if they can be both human and not, both beautiful and terrifying.
Ava asks, What do you want, Beatrice?
(Tell me and I’ll give it to you. Tell me and I’ll build you a home there. Tell me and I’ll rearrange the universe to make it all fit, angels and demons be damned. Tell me it’s me. Me. Me.)

i know you don’t believe (it’s you i’ve waited for) by Jazzfordshire
Fandoms: Supergirl (TV 2015)
06 May 2021
Tags
Summary
“Okay. What’s your name?”
Lena’s response is knee-jerk. “None of your damn business.”
Supergirl runs her fingers through her hair. It sticks up wildly near her temple, and Lena can see a slight cowlick. It’s strangely humanizing. “Look, my boss isn’t going to like that I’m working with an unknown as it is. If we’re going to work together, I at least need something to call you.”
When Lena shakes Supergirl’s hand, she feels the warmth of victory when the hero seems shocked at the firmness of her grip. But alarmingly an even stronger warmth radiates from their joined palms, spreading up her arm; Lena pulls her hand back faster than what’s generally considered polite, curling it into a fist.
“You can call me Kieran.”
OR
For over a hundred years, Lena has been trying to escape the suffocating hierarchy of the fae – and ever since her mother moved LuthorCorp to National City the only way to do so is to work with Supergirl, with whom Lena shares a soul-deep connection she can’t control.

the business of faith (or: four times sister beatrice believed in ava silva, and one time she didn't) by nirav
Fandoms: Warrior Nun (TV)
12 Nov 2022
Tags
Summary
Faith has never come easy to Beatrice-- it always was a business, a honed skill, a shield against the empty lonely childhood and a grating aching adolescence shunted out of sight by her disappointed parents-- but she’s had faith in Ava since the minute they stood outside of a tomb in the Vatican catacombs and Beatrice realized that she brought the dynamite as a backup to Ava out of habit instead of actual worry. She’d always known Ava would do what they needed, would succeed and find her way through her own fear, and Ava hadn’t disappointed her.
Michael came back. Lilith came back. Ava hasn’t disappointed her yet, and she won’t start now.

Summary
Emma Swan never expected her vlog to take off like it did, but she likes the community and occasionally getting drunk and ranting into a camera is a decent way to make a bit of cash. Regina Mills films a rather higher class of vlog, a chance to be creative after days working analysing bacteria samples in a lab and to discuss day-to-day life as a single mom. When Regina has a bad day and posts a video she immediately regrets, she doesn’t expect for it to become as notorious as it does, and she vows to destroy the person who popularised her deeply embarrassing rant, some idiot known as 'swanprincess'.
But when rumours spread about sexual harassment in the Boston YouTube community, the pair may be forced to put aside their differences and work together.

She’s still two days from Iowa when it happens. Her phone buzzes, and it’s not one of the fifty-or-so identical pictures of sauce that Paul insists is drastically different from the last. It’s not the daily check-in from her dad, either.

Maybe it’s a sign from someone, how your thoughts still manage to run parallel to hers even after all this time apart. How you’d managed to go so long with an Aster Flores-sized hole in your life, you don’t even know, but now you can’t bring yourself to imagine it without her again.
or, when Ellie and Aster reunite a few years later, Ellie notices something pretty damn adorable.

Tags
Summary
Her therapist clears his throat and she looks up, tongue-tied, sweat and fear pouring out of her skin.
Technically, if all the rules of reason and science were followed and applied, Lena shouldn’t be able to see a blonde woman floating in the air, on her back, with no care whatsoever. No, no, no. Because that would be absolutely crazy and Lena is not crazy. She is a genius. She is a certified genius and that blonde woman is not making funny faces at her from behind her therapist back!
AU before Season 2 in which Lena fears she is loosing her mind but really is only trying to save the world and the woman she loves.
