Summary
Lena Luthor, a titan of industry, buys and sells land with mechanical precision. Her life has been reduced to a never-ending cycle of numbers and percentages, her heart now dedicated solely to her brother. Weary and disengaged, she journeys to the heartland of America for yet another sale and purchase of a town. There, she meets a dusty cowboy, brimming with fury and defiance, who refuses to surrender her land without a fight.
Kara Zorel is a fighter, but her existence is one of perpetual struggle. Unending drought, unrelenting debt, and a father who drowns his sorrows in alcohol have left her unable to rest or even keep her head above water on her desolate piece of land. The arrival of a development executive poses a threat to all she holds dear. Driven to despise Lena, Kara finds herself with a choice: succumb to the insurmountable odds or convince this strikingly beautiful woman to reconsider her plans.

Summary
Lena Luthor is at the top of her professional game with little time for anything else. Lena's lavish, fast-paced lifestyle drastically changes one snowy Christmas night when she unwittingly stumbles into the middle of a grocery store holdup and in a bold display of self-preservation disarms the gunman.
The next morning she wakes up in a suburban Midvale bedroom lying next to Kara, her college sweetheart who she left in order to pursue her career, and to the horrifying discovery that her former life no longer exists.
As she stumbles through this alternate suburban universe, Lena begins to feel strangely comfortable in this new role of loving wife and mother to two children. Lena finds herself at a crossroad, where she must choose between her high-powered career and the woman she loves.

Summary
Kara cradles her pile of dirty plates. She doesn’t know how to open Lena’s brand new dishwasher without ripping the handle apart. She usually figures these things out through trial and error, but she’s never been alone in Lena’s apartment, and she can’t risk winging it in front of her.
So, she just stands by the sink and watches the hot water redden Lena’s sensitive skin, the light glinting off her beautiful earrings, and my happiness bites the plum of your mouth.The verse comes to her, unbidden, from one of their weekly poems. Lena always chooses poems with such physicality to them. Always real, touchable.
---Or: Kara is an alien, Lena is a genius. Their strangeness separates and connects them to the world and each other in peculiar ways. Being human in Lena’s eyes allows Kara to tap into parts of herself she hadn’t been able to explore before, but she knows her secret will one day stop being a bridge between them, and they’ll both lose the version of Kara Lena has grown to love. (Tender slow burn, mutual respect, bittersweetness and tentative physicality galore! Some angst and a lot of joy)

Summary
“Are we… are we okay?”
“We’re stuck in a nuclear apocalypse, likely a result of my father’s gross negligence, and now used as a playground for an egomaniac’s deranged, power fantasies.”
“Lena.” Her name is a slow sigh. A patient, painstakingly fragile one at that.
Lena closes her eyes, inhaling against the torrent of emotions fighting towards a surface she’s not ready to break.
“Us being stuck here together doesn’t change anything.”
---
Or, Kara and Lena find themselves stranded on a barren Earth where they are forced to work together to survive and finally confront the toxic wasteland their relationship has become.
