Summary
“Thank you, darling,” she says, and she looks so soft in her color-of-Kara’s-eyes sundress with the pansy Kara bought her behind her ear and soft baby-hair fly-aways around her temples that without thinking about it, Kara blurts out: “I like when you do that.”
“Do what?” Lena asks, cocking her head. Internally, Kara tells herself to shut up at the same time she tells herself to stop being a coward and tell the love of her life that she’s, you know, in love with her.
“Call me ‘darling.’”
OR, Kara and Lena get brunch and go to the farmer’s market on Saturdays.

A bakery/bookstore au. To clarify: the one where Kara owns a pastry shop and Lena owns the neighboring bookstore. This fic was really just an excuse to write about pastries I personally want to try making. And soft supercorp. Rating is for mild language and some alcohol.

Summary
In the darkest hour of the night, Kara is pulled from the depths of sleep by a melody.
The tune is familiar; it scratches some long-forgotten spot at the back of her brain, like a memory that she can’t quite assign shape or meaning to. It’s simple and soft, sweet and melancholy, seeping warmth into all the empty spaces of her body. She blinks at the ceiling, trying to pull together the fragments of memory that float to the surface at the sound. Fingers, smoothing back hair from her forehead. Lips, brushing against her cheek. Hazy purple nights, stars scattered across the sky in familiar formations.
.
After Kara has revealed her identity to the world, combining Kara Danvers and Supergirl into one, bits of Krypton start to come back to her. This one in particular comes back in the form of a song her mother used to sing to her - a lullaby.
(or, Kara has a lot of trauma that was never properly explored and i believe sometimes she just deserves to be held very tenderly by someone and given many forehead kisses)

Summary
“Lena! Hey!” Kara’s voice comes pouring through the phone, and Lena feels her shoulders relax. “I was actually just about to call you. What’s up?”
It’s funny, Lena thinks then, how the knots in her chest ease around Kara. Her world has always been full of uncertainties, fleeting moments of happiness snatched away when she gets too comfortable. But with Kara, it feels stable, less lonely, like maybe one day she could allow herself to breathe, if Kara’s around.
“Oh yeah?” Lena can’t help but smile, pressing the phone closer to her ear as if it’ll help her absorb some of Kara’s warmth. “I was just going to ask if you wanted to come over for a movie night this weekend, I, um—” Lena pauses, rubbing her free hand over her sternum, “I could use the company.”
“Oh, that’s... kind of why I’m calling, actually,” Kara says, then falters. It’s soft, and it’s hesitant, and Lena’s shoulders sag, but then— “Alex and I are going to Midvale for a few days, and I thought maybe you’d like to come.”
———
Or, in order to starting moving on from a year of fighting phantoms, evil imps, and psychopathic brothers, sometimes you just need a little love.

Summary
“Bracelets meant something different, on Krypton,” Alex says. “The entire culture was really different, so things don’t always translate over quite right. But the closest equivalent for us would be a wedding or engagement ring.”
Something in Lena falls into place; the universe in shambles builds itself back together.
“Lena, do you have feelings for my sister?”
OR, Kara and Lena make friendship bracelets and deny their feelings admirably. Four years later, Alex tells Lena what a bracelet means on Krypton.

Summary
"Lena," Kara asks, "what are you to me?"
Lena's heartbeat stutters. "You—you said there was no memory loss," she stammers. "Kara, what—what happened?"
"I absorbed my sun," Kara tells her calmly. "I became a God."
(In which Kara becomes a deity of protection, and it complicates things just a little. Featuring: a determined big sister, an endlessly supportive love interest, and some dad advice.)

kara’s been a little too reckless ever since the crisis, until one night she finds herself injured and bleeding at the safest place she could think of: lena’s balcony
or
the one where kara and lena finally talk it all out

Tags
Summary
There is no adrenaline rush to Kara’s easy smile, no silent reverence left in her wake. But there is a sort of peacefulness that Lena has never been able to accurately define. It’s as if Kara exists as a quiet focal point, and although light and life settle themselves comfortably in her space, they always unequivocally angle themselves toward her. Lena nearly hadn’t noticed it at first, but the longer she’d spent in Kara’s company the more tangible it had become. And whether Kryptonian or just uniquely Kara, watching her friend walk from the phantom zone onto the ship devoid of all of that brightness unsettles Lena down to her bones.
