Summary
The protocol upon discovering corpses is very simple. Assess the damage from a safe distance, strip the remains of all their belongings, then smash their head in with whatever’s handy lest they go on to awake with a vengeance and a mindless craving for human flesh to boot.
Kara whispers a silent apology and a note of gratitude for the woman the body used to house as she kneels down beside it. After one last cursory once-over, Kara reaches for the backpack, still clutched tightly to the woman’s chest.
At the very first tug, a pale hand shoots up and seizes Kara by the wrist.
a.k.a. the Zombie AU, wherein there's a million reasons why Kara shouldn't save this perfect stranger, but she does anyway.

Summary
She tilts her head, curious, studying the offered hand in a blinking silence. But he waits. He isn’t impatient. And when she eventually wraps her fingers around his hand in a tentative squeeze, he doesn’t recoil at the feel of her coarse, flaking skin
“They call me Lex,” he says, shaking her hand. “What should I call you?”
Her tongue feels clumsy as it attempts to give shape to a word scarcely used in her already much fragmented vocabulary, “… Bizarro.”
a.k.a. the Bizarro AU, that's somehow spiraled out of control, lol.

Summary

Summary
The ringing didn’t go away.
It remained long after the doctors said it would, long after everything else went away: the cuts, the bruises, the media attention even.
Lena tried to be patient. There were much worse things in life to endure, after all, like death or being the cause of death of someone very near and dear who most certainly didn’t deserve it.
a.k.a. that fic where Kara is Supergirl and Andrea is a ghost, and Lena has to learn to cope.

Summary
When Lena finds out Kara and Supergirl are lovers, of course she’s happy for them. Ecstatic, even. She’s always sworn no one could be good enough for her Kara, but Supergirl comes close. Nevermind that Supergirl abandons Kara on dates, drags her onto dangerous battlefields for “the story,” and doesn’t seem to give a flying hunk of kryptonite that Kara is constantly being kidnapped to bring Supergirl down. No, Lena is thrilled.

The DEO stages a relationship between Kara Danvers and Supergirl to foil Cadmus. Lena doesn’t handle it as well as she could.

Summary
Kara pauses for a second, then carefully pulls off the watch that took her here and stuffs it in her pocket. If this is the only way she’s going to be able to see Lena, she’s going to take it.
“No,” Kara says. “There’s nothing there for me.”
Or, after Lena dies, Kara finds herself in an alternate universe where she's dead, but Lena is still alive, and can't resist taking another chance to be with her.

Summary
Those first words a soulmate is destined to say to you are supposed to be magical, indescribable, life changing. But for Lena Luthor, they're just an everyday occurrence.
(In which Lena has the most infuriatingly mundane soul mark.)
