Summary
Kara Danvers wanted a change in routine. She didn’t expect the sharp heels and guarded silences, or the book notes, and how something so small could grow into something she wasn’t ready to name.
Lena Luthor wanted obscurity. What she found was a quiet café, a stray cat, and a barista with too much light in her eyes — the kind that could make even a Luthor hesitate.

Summary
"And you are?" Lena says, holding her hand out to shake. Kara takes it, and puts in every effort not to crush it in her nervousness. Lena's hand is dry and cold where Kara's is uncomfortably hot.
"Kara Danvers," Kara says, putting on her best smile. "Reporter. It's great to meet you, I think we really – "
"Ah, Kara Danvers. The newest addition to the roster, and yet one who has her own private office on the 21st floor," Lena interrupts.

How would early season 3 look if Lena and Kara didn't meet until after Lena bought CatCo, and Lena thought Kara was a total nepo baby?

Summary
The big tacky “27” candle on the birthday cake flickered and for a split second she saw the explosion that had wiped out Krypton in the orange glow of the low flame, a sharp breath of fear was quickly covered up by her blowing out the candle.
Only one thought echoed through her mind as the light was extinguished:
I’ve been on Earth longer than I was on Krypton.or
On the day of her 27th Earth birthday, after a day of celebrations, Kara goes to the park and meets an adorable dog, his owner? Lillian Luthor.
Their lives slowly but surely intertwine and if it so happens that Lillian's daughter is single and so is Kara? Well, it wouldn't hurt anything if Lillian gently nudged things into motion for the two of them.- Language:

Summary
“Then I’ll do it for you.”
Caitlyn’s breath caught in her throat.
Vi didn’t look away.
“I’ll be your hands,” she lowered her voice just the slightest bit, now almost reverent. “And your eyes under the sea.”
The words slipped between them like an unadorned vow. Yet it somehow sank into Caitlyn’s chest like weightless gravity.
Her whole body went still.
She forgot how to breathe.
For a second, she almost thought she was underwater again, but not drowning. Just suspended and floating. Held.
OR
Caitlyn, a marine biologist, and Vi, a scuba diver, go on a six-month research expedition in Jervis Bay, Australia. And everything becomes sort of a midsummer night's dream.

Summary
She’s perfect. Mesmerizing, really. And Kara’s about sixty percent in love with her. Which is inconvenient, because Kara is also too much of a disaster to do something crazy like introduce herself.
OR, Lena sponsors a youth center, and Kara works there. OR, Esme is an unwitting and unrequested wingwoman, Kara and Lena fall in love in less than five minutes, and they’re both incredibly useless but Lena hides it better.
It would be great if they didn’t meet because Kara heard her laugh for the first time and got so flustered she smacked her forehead against the door of the cupboard she was rifling through, searching for googly eyes, but alas. You can’t have everything.

Summary
Metropolis has been abjectly miserable for the past two years, no one for Lena to turn to with her problems or anxieties. The closest thing she’s had to a friend has been her favorite Chinese place’s delivery drivers.
Lex had been arrested, Sam had left, and Jack had died all in the course of one really, really shitty year, and the year that’s followed has been exponentially more shitty. Lena’s glad it’s almost over, and that she gets to forcibly eject it from her life like a floppy disk carrying a PC-killing virus with her best friend’s help in a foreign country. Even if it’s a rainy, grey Christmas and New Year's in London.
or
Lena Luthor flies to London to celebrate the holidays with her best friend, and then she meets some girl named Kara.

Summary
Kara cuts in, voice strangled as she attempts to get the words out. “Um, Es, Lena and I aren’t together.”
Poor Esme has never looked more confused in her life. “What are you talking about?” she asks. “Yes you are!”
Kara honestly thinks a return trip to the Phantom Zone might be preferable to having this conversation. Or death. “No… no, we’re just best friends.”
Esme’s brow furrows. Seemingly baffled, she scrunches her face up in disbelief. “But… but that makes no sense! You act just like my mommies. I don’t believe you.”

“Now,” Lena says, physically pushing her keyboard away on her desk, as though trying to distance herself from the temptation to keep working. “What can I do for you?”
Anyone who has met Lena is familiar with these words. They are her go-to greeting; practiced, polite, and most importantly, meant in earnest. A thesis statement: Lena Luthor wants to help.
