Summary
Their glasses touched gently—an accidental toast, a shared moment.
“I’m Lena,” the woman said after a pause.
Kara turned to face her more fully. “Kara.”
“Kara,” Lena repeated, like she was testing how it felt in her mouth. She smiled, slow and approving. “Pretty name.”

Summary
She doesn’t sleep.
Not because she’s unsettled, but because she’s too settled. Too still. There’s a warm heaviness in her chest, and it’s not panic. That’s what scares her.
She thinks: God, I could do this every day.
She thinks: I want to do this every day.
She thinks: What if I need her?
But the voice that used to scream run is quiet now. It hasn’t disappeared. It’s just… hushed. Muted under the weight of Kara’s breathing and the way her fingers found Lena’s hip in sleep and haven’t moved since.
OR
Lena Luthor is a bolter. She has rules and lives her life by paradigms she holds onto, dearly. Lovers come (enthusiastically) and go (broken-hearted) and Lena rinses and repeats. And then, inevitably, the universe puts Kara Danvers in front of her and suddenly it's crystal clear - this is her person. This is it. And now, there is nothing - and no one - Lena wants to commit to more.

"How hard can it be?" Kara asks, smiling as she wraps her arms around Lena's waist, pulling her in so she's snuggled against Kara's soft, soft shirt. "We were married for five years, you know. This should be a walk in the park."
"If it were a walk in the park we wouldn't have gotten divorced," Lena points out, pushing herself away and trying to ignore Kara's bright eyes and glistening lips and the lovely, familiar way she smells. "Seriously, pretending to be married might be harder than you think."
"It's just one week, okay?" Kara pulls Lena back in, warm hands slipping lower and grazing the skin beneath Lena's t-shirt, and. It's not fair how much Lena's heart flutters at the touch. "We just do a couple interviews, take a few pictures, and then we go back to our own lives. It'll be simple. Easy. Promise."
OR, a [Fake Dating AU] in which Kara rescues Lena from an underwater cave, it turns into one of the biggest media frenzies of the year, and they somehow get branded America's Sweetest Couple by the public. Except, they're not actually a couple, they're divorced.- Language:

Summary
“Kara,” Lena interrupts, “can you stay?”
“Do you want me to stay?” Kara asks gently, and Lena finds it oddly endearing to see Kara Danvers be so typically Kara whilst she’s wearing her superhero suit.
“Obviously.” Lena murmurs, fingering the slight gap between Kara’s suit and the clasp where her cape connects to it, “Why do you ask?”
“No reason.” Slight pause. “It’s just - I didn’t know you had superheroes at your beck and call. Apart from me, obviously.”

Summary
“She said she didn’t want the name.” Lena says finally.
Kara doesn’t move. “The name?”
“Luthor.”
Kara hums. “I sure as hell do.”
Lena shifts slightly. “You’re not supposed to.”
Kara turns her head and looks at her with that maddening, grounded affection she seems to carry in surplus. “It sounds like a thunderstorm. Luthor. It’s badass. If I can ever get you to marry me, I’m using that name.”
“You’re ridiculous.”
“I’m serious.” Kara props herself up on one elbow. “It’s powerful and sharp and dramatic. I love it.”
“You love me.”
“I love both,” Kara says, dragging a finger down Lena’s sternum, soft but certain. “But the name is really hot.”
OR
Lena's exes have never quite understood her, so when Lena starts dating Kara and notices she's in no shape or form intimidated or scared by what she sees, by who Lena is, the Luthor magnate is baffled.
