    Summary

    Lena Luthor struggles to reconcile the magic she has with her scientific worldview, and as she delves deeper into the history of her birth mother, she discovers much of what she thought was true about her past is riddled with lies woven by her half-brother, father, and adopted mother. Her search leads her to an long-lost weapon that could be the key to everything. In the meantime, the Superfriends try to hold their own against a vengeful attacker, and Kara, Lena, and crew discover a secret group of assassins. Except time is running out for their multiverse, a new threat rises that will rip it apart, and it will require all of their strengths and powers to save everyone.

    I will post updates around 1 to 2 times a month (due to health reasons). (This is the sequel to the first fic - Confession).

    There will be Three Acts to this Story:
    ACT 1: The Irish Quest and Sam's Revelations
    ACT 2: Unraveling Truths
    ACT 3: Shattered Reality

    Summary

    Lena wants to believe someday she can escape the suffocating abuse of the Luthors. Then that day comes.

    Kara doesn't believe she'll ever meet anyone who can understand her fractured selves. Until Lena walks into her life.

    Sam finds herself in a complicated position of being essential to all of Lena's parts, while unable to ever confess her own feelings.

    Or the tale of traumatized people and how they heal (with the help of chosen family).

    ___

    The wind howls like a banshee, and Lena shudders, her teeth chattering. She clings to her phone like a lifeline.

    She wishes she could curl up and cry into Sam’s lap. Or Kara’s. Anywhere but here.

    Even Kieran is silent, both of them spent. Lex’s narcissistic abuse once again nearly destroyed her, and the betrayals of others add icing to a horrific trauma cake.

    “I promise I’ll get on the next flight out there,” Sam says, her voice tinny but still comforting in the phone’s speakers. “Just please, let me text Alex or Kara to come get you, okay?”

    “Okay.” Lena feels small. Like she’s shrinking into the ground. Soon to vanish into particles of dust to be washed away by the fury of the storm. “I trust you.”

    Summary

    Korra and Asami head South to help heal from the poisoning they suffered from Zaheer. Except, Korra has insisted Asami split her time between Republic City and the South. Asami, recognizing her role as the Avatar's Mirror, takes up her mantle to try to unravel political unrest in Republic City and the Earth Kingdom. A Civil War looms between Ba Sing Se and Omashu, and Asami has no idea who to trust anymore. While assisting Asami's burgeoning mutual aid network, members of the Air Nation discover alarming news relating to the potential Civil War. Asami goes undercover with the Krew, while she struggles to balance her work with her own healing and her relationship with Korra.

    Meanwhile, Korra falls deeper into depression and wonders if the world truly needs an Avatar after all.

    (For events leading up to this, see Books 1 through 3 of Shared Moments. I do not own LOK characters, just happen to love writing them.)

    Will post updates either monthly or bi-monthly (due to health).

    Summary

    Sam Arias is the LIDAR technician for Andrea Rojas' expedition in Argentina to find the Lost City of Caesars. Except nothing goes to plan.
    ---

    Sam smiled fondly at her best friend. Ruby would love to spend time with Aunt Lena and Aunt Kara, and being Lena’s assistant? Ruby’s excitement would burst the roof. She turned to Andrea. “If I say yes, when would we leave?”

    “Tomorrow at six am,” Andrea said. “Though we can push that back to eight if you need more time to load the tech.” She glanced at Sam with a small smile. “It’s a relief really. Without it, I’d have to search the sites by foot.”

    Tomorrow morning? Sam reeled from the news. That gave her very little time to pack and prepare Ruby for Sam being gone a week or two.

    Yet here she was again, her resolve crumbling. How could she say no with two beautiful women looking at her expectantly?

    Damn, Sam was too gay for this. “All right. Tomorrow it is.”

    Summary

    Team Avatar returns to Republic City after saving the world and ending a world war. Rebuilding after war is tough, and the four are determined to do their best. Asami finds herself struggling with nightmares and PTSD from the war. She also has the chance to bid for the rebuilding of Republic City's roads and energy needs, but as she helps Korra investigate the vines, the pair finds themself increasingly embroiled in confusing mysteries related to her mansion, Varrick's trial, healing from trauma, how to be a couple, and increasing public attention. All the while mysterious reports of new air benders start to crop up.

    Set in the weeks before Book 3. It is the Aftermath of my AU/rewrite of Book 2, the prior installment of the Shared Moments series. Then we'll transition to Book 3 (the next installment in Shared Moments after 2.5). Thanks for reading!

    P.S. This is more a slice of life with political shenanigans scattered here and there. It will also deal heavily with the PTSD from war.

    Summary

    Kara Zor-el is hit with a particularly lethal blend of Kryptonites, and Lena races against time to save her beloved. Meanwhile, the Superfriends and Sam hunt for the assassins to get a sample of the poisoning in time to save Kara.

    ---
    Lena ramped up the sunlamps, and that's when she sighted the abnormality. Kara's veins stood out with a multitude of colors. The sight twisted her stomach. Closing her eyes, she gripped her stool and counted silently to calm her racing heart, the panic far too close. Now was not the time. Kara needed her, dammit.

    Breathing out her fear, she opened her eyes and briefly grasped Kara’s hand. “Hold on, darling,” she whispered. She squeezed once but got no response. The fear threatened to trickle back, but Lena shoved it in a box and tossed it into the dark recesses of her mind. "You'll get through this," she said, more for herself than Kara.

    Summary

    "I... I had the strangest dream," Lena said, her voice sounding weird to her ears. She felt woozy and exhausted. "We were flying and you were carrying me." She looked up at Kara, unable to hide the wonder in her voice. Surely it had been just a dream?

    Kara's expression however held no amusement over her 'dream.' Instead, she took a deep breath and tilted her head downward, as if ashamed. "Well, actually..." She sat down on the sofa across from Lena and lifted her head to meet Lena's gaze.

    Next to her, James vigorously shook his head, his hand still on Lena's back. Lena looked between the two, confused, her brain irritatingly slower than normal.

    Kara clasped her hands between her knees and a look of earnest worry and hope creased her lips and brow.

    The realization dawned like the sun rising in the morning.

    It hadn't been a dream.

    Summary

    Lena has a fear of falling, and yet she keeps falling: Falling in love, falling off buildings and cliffs, falling into despair, falling into hope, but most of all falling into a family she chose. Along the way she encounters cats and sends many a text.
    _______

    The cat slept on a bench, and this one looked almost like a tiny leopard. She sat down next to it, held out her hand, and not to her surprise the cat woke up to climb into her lap. She snapped the picture, amused.

    Lena: Mission unsuccessful. However, I found this cat on a bench. [image attached]

    Just Kara: OMG. IT LOOKS LIKE A TINY LEOPARD. YOU MUST KEEP IT.

    Lena: Kara, I am not adopting a cat.

    Just Kara: FINE. In penance give him extra kisses for me!

    Lena: As you wish.

    The next cat encounter happened right before the defeat of Obsidian and Lex’s plan. Lena had been walking the streets exhausted but unwilling to go to her penthouse. Lex had definitely caught on that she switched sides, and she no longer felt safe anywhere. Instead, she had walked to a hotel not far from the Tower and considered her options.

    Summary

    "Supergirl has been there for me - a person who judges me on the premise of my last name, but my best friend hasn't," Lena says, flatly.

    "Lena, I'm... I'm sorry. I was trying to catch Lex for you," Kara says, earnestly. "That's why I'm doing this. Of course, I care about you."

    "You care about me a little less than you do as the source of your story." Lena takes a sip of her scotch.

    "No, no! It's not like that! I wish I could explain..." Kara nearly stomps her foot in frustration.

    Lena raises an eyebrow and waits.

    "But..." Kara looks down at the ground. "But maybe it's better if I just go." She turns and walks out of the room.

    The sudden departure cracks Lena's heart, and she blinks back tears.

    ---
    What if Kara returned to confess instead?
