Summary
Lena Luthor has crossed the country to fix the destruction her brother left behind in his search for mythical sea creatures.

At the same time, Lena struggles to right the wrongs of her family-- but what started as a determined journey to do better suddenly up-ends Lena's entire world when she comes face to face with the object of Lex's obsessions.

Summary
In your more delirious sleep-deprived states, you can almost convince yourself of things that Kara undoubtedly wouldn’t have approved of. It’s easy to avoid her objections when she isn’t fucking there, and easier still to believe that you can weather her judgement and the degradation of your own soul so long as it results in her safety. You would offer yourself to be the villain without hesitation if it meant you could use any and all tools at your disposal to drag your best friend back to this dimension-- you would grind all of your good intentions into the dirt with the pointed heel of your stiletto without a second’s thought just to know she was alive and well. There were no boundaries you would not cross to see her safely home, no darkness you would not pitch yourself willfully into if it meant having her back. No souls you would not sacrifice for hers, including (if not especially) your own. You are more afraid of never seeing Kara again than you are of becoming evil.
--
Your brother has banished the love of your life to the Phantom Zone before your very eyes. So you determine, at any cost, to bring her back.

Summary
There is at least one thing you’ve learned about yourself over the last few years. It doesn’t really matter the nature of whatever it is you confess to Kara-- you just do it, eventually. Because Kara deserves to know, even if it is too late. It’s some compelling force that you’ve never been able to fight back, even when you first met and the kindling of something fresh and exciting had begun to piece you and her together. Like your own personal Truthseeker nestled into the cavity of your ribs, secure in the knowledge that Kara Danvers is the one thing, the one person, you could never truly hide yourself from.
You twiddle your thumbs beneath the sleeve of your coat as you think of this and wonder how in the hell you’ll ever be ready to tell Kara what you’ve been meaning to tell her for the last four years.

Summary
Love is a strange creature, Jamie learns. A loyal creature that, much like a plant, grows under tender care and blossoms with such beauty that there really is nothing else like it in the world. Like a moonflower. Perhaps the body of it may die, as all bodies do. But the roots of it are still there, and that lovely, wonderful pale blossom never asks more of her than she can give, even once it’s gone. But then, as young Flora had once said-- dead didn’t really mean gone.

Summary
Penitence, Lena decides, can ultimately be empty and useless even when uttered with the most heartbreaking fervor. She does not blame those who worship her for their faults and their shortcomings, they are mortal after all. The world can be cold and cruel and she knows that not many find true comfort in prayer, though they seek it in its repetitions. Lena does answer them, in her own way, but only one truly catches her attention. Kara Zor El.

Summary
“What if… what if we went on a road trip?” Kara says, when the drowning feeling has started to fade. “We could take a couple weeks off and just… get out of the city for a bit. How would that be?”
Lena looks up from the safety of Kara’s shoulder. “We?”
.
With L-Corp in chaos and Lena on the verge of a mental breakdown, Kara proposes an escape: a road trip up the West Coast. The only problem? It's just the two of them and a car on the road for two weeks, and it's getting increasingly difficult for Lena to deny the fact that she's maybe, slightly, desperately in love with her best friend.

Summary
For an immortal, finding peace in a slow and lengthy existence can often drive one to unending boredom and recklessness. With the world progressing and warping into a ball of wire and plastics and technology, that once boundless territory is choked and hard to find. There are still some pockets of wildness left in this realm to exist in, and that is where the Morrigan has tucked herself away. In a small cozy home on the far rocks of the Faroes, she has finally found peaceful refuge after centuries of turmoil just on the edge of modern humanity. Lonely and far from her true home she keeps to herself, until one evening her life is upended again in the form of a fiery Fae and broken wards.
