Summary
On a vacation to National City, before her freshman year at MIT, Lena meets a muscular, sweet blonde named Kara Danvers. Over the next ten years, they navigate the complexities of life, growing as individuals, and overcoming fears, but like clockwork every August they always come back to one another. This is a journey over ten years of Augusts spent as lovers, friends, girlfriends, wives, and mothers together.
(yes it is inspired by the Taylor Swift song of the same name)

Summary
University AU where Alex, Maggie, and Winn all work as biology professors in Hank's Department and Kara is the assistant (later promoted) to Dean Cat Grant. It takes the intervention of a cocky new professor, Maggie Sawyer, to finally drag Alex out of the closet where she's been fighting back memories of the night she spent with Vicky Donahue in high school. Mainly canon compliant for the important stuff. Includes some Supergirl adventures, but focuses mainly on Alex and her development and relationships with Vicky, Maggie, and Kara. Later includes more of Kara and Supercorp!
(Sorry for the not great summary. This is my first fic, and I'd love any kudos/comments!)

Summary
After the Crisis, Kara’s hearing isn’t the only thing she can’t control. The world feels too loud, too fragile, and every sound keeps circling back to one she can’t bear to lose.
Lena.Kara goes to her ready to make things right — but apologies come too late, and the distance between them has already turned into something sharper. When Lex resurfaces, pulling Lena’s work into his web, love and fury collide until there’s no clear line between saving and breaking each other.
A story about grief, obsession, and the thin edge between hate and love. My reimagining of how Supergirl Season 5 and 6 could have burned.

Summary
When Krypton died, around forty-two Earth years ago, the plan was to send Kara and Kal-El away to safety. Kara would take care of her baby cousin on Earth and raise him to the best of her ability under Krypton’s Girod. They would be the last daughter and son of their kind and carry on their legacy.
It was a good plan. A thoroughly thought plan.
It was also a plan that failed (almost) miserably.
While Kal-El’s pod left safely in the nick of time, Kara’s never did. The remaining members of the Great House of El watched as the pod carrying the toddler took off just before everything started crumbling around them.
Now, forty-two years later, Superman was doing a good job as Earth’s Champion. He had some help, granted, but Lex’s relentlessness with his latest obsession: killing his sister, was starting to become a real problem.
If they wanted to save Lena’s life, they would have to get creative, because it was clear that there was no place on Earth safe for her anymore.

Summary
Prompt response from @badkatz26.
The title says it all.
This is the second part in a series. Recommend you start with The Death of Supergirl.
AU in which Kara died in 5x08 when Lena failed to disarm the cannons. Then Crisis on Infinite Earths happened. And superheroes don't really stay dead, do they?
