Summary
“Do you miss it?” Gloria asks. “Barbieland, I mean.”
Barbie considers this, looking over at Gloria. She’s wearing a loose linen blouse today, long sleeves pushed back to the elbows, and her hair is blowing slightly in the breeze coming in through the open kitchen window. She looks like every other woman in the world: beautiful.
“Yes,” Barbie says. “Sometimes. But I’d rather be here with you.”

Summary
“Everyone on this show has an agenda, Kara.”
She regarded the blonde with a quirked eyebrow and asked, “What’s yours?”
“I- I- I um-” Kara brought her right hand up to the bridge of her nose, froze when she found nothing there, then awkwardly dropped her hand to her side. “To… find… love?”
“Right. Love. You’re here to find it, I’m here to help you.” Lena paused. “Kind of.”
“Well, that sounds ominous.”

Summary
"So to keep yourself from getting hurt by love, you're…casting a spell to…find it?" Sam says, her face twisted up in confusion as Lena wanders the garden gathering the herbs she needs. It's dark outside, and they're darting between shadows – the garden is here for the kitchen staff to pick fresh ingredients from, and the last time Lillian found her snipping rosemary she was confined to her room for two months.
"I'm calling for Amas Veritas," Lena clarifies. "I'm binding myself to a person that doesn't exist."
"How do you know they don't exist?"
"They can't. No person can fit all my criteria. And if they don't exist, I can never fall in love."
OR
Lena Luthor is cursed. Everyone she loves is doomed to die; it would take someone truly indestructible to survive a magic that’s ingrained in her very bloodline. When she binds herself to a true love that can’t exist, the last thing she expects is for Kara Danvers to turn up and prove her wrong.

An AU (lightly) inspired by Practical Magic.

Summary
"Write again soon, stranger. I do look forward to your letters."
When Carson Shaw unintentionally takes a job typing letters for an advice columnist in a women's magazine, she is offered a glimpse into the lives of women from all across the country. Although her conservative boss refuses to respond to any problems which might be deemed inappropriate or immoral, Carson cannot help but connect with the readers who have poured out their hearts in hopes of being helped. The work brings some of her own fears to the fore and, with her husband away fighting in the war, she finds herself plagued with doubt over her marriage and her future.
When she secretly replies to some of the forbidden letters, she inadvertently begins a conversation with a fascinating stranger who might just change the course of her whole life...
[Or, a letter-writing AU based loosely on the book Dear Mrs Bird by AJ Pearce]

Summary
Lena lets out a careful breath and says, “James and I have decided to end our— association.”
What a perfectly weird and roundabout way to describe the end of a romantic relationship, Kara thinks. “Oh?” she says, aptly demonstrating her own comparative lack of eloquence.
It earns her one of Lena’s crinkly smiles at least, affection clear on her best friend’s face. “Should I feel offended that you don’t seem all that surprised?” she flusters.
“No,” Kara says, “I am,” and she is, is the thing, she's actually stunned, but she’s something else, much more than that.
She’s elated.
“Bummer,” Kara says.
-
In which Kara makes a tiny new enemy, Alex has an actual functioning gaydar, and Lena breaks up with James only to immediately start seeing someone else. And Kara is fine! Except for the part where she’s really, really not.

Summary
The woman on Lena’s doorstep is, quite frankly, the most confusing person she’s ever seen.
At first glance she looks like every other housewife Lena has ever encountered. She’s wearing a reddish-brown skirt and a plain yellow blouse, her blonde hair in a stiff updo and her eyes magnified by large eyeglasses, and her makeup is well-applied if a little outdated. If she was standing further away Lena would have guessed that she was in her early forties at least, but after a more thorough look, Lena would be surprised if the visitor was much older than herself.
The woman’s smile looks a little fixed and her eyes are wide as saucers, staring at Lena silently. Lena clears her throat.
“…Can I help you?”
OR
Lena moves to the suburbs in the spring of 1969 to insulate herself from the world. To avoid getting hopelessly entangled with a married woman ever again. She can keep her head down, host some parties to get her needs met, and disappear.
Enter, Kara Danvers.

Summary
The detective stops flipping pages and turns the folder around so Kara can see it the right way up. She scans over the text quickly and then lingers on the photograph. It shows a woman in a pencil skirt and expensive-looking blouse, half blocked from view by an extensive security detail.
“She’s pretty,” Kara says.
“That’s Lena Luthor,” he says, “but you already knew that.”
Kara only smiles.

Summary
“My poor darling,” Lena says, teases. “Do you just go around licking anyone that smells like fruit?”
“No, I—I. Um.” Quiet. A steadying breath. “Now you’re just teasing me,” Kara murmurs, a dusting of red high on her cheeks. Lena’s delighted.
“First, you come into my home unexpectedly,” Lena says, and Kara whispers-justifies a quiet yeah, to cuddle, “and now you lick my neck. What’s next?”
Or, here's the thing: Lena has been in love with Kara for a long time. If Kara knows, then Kara doesn’t seem to mind.

Summary
Kara has officially decided: Lena Luthor is her hot girl bummer.
College AU where Kara and Lena can’t stand each other, but still end up sleeping together every weekend. It turns into friends with benefits. And then, someone catches feelings.. . . . . . .
“Love can’t really be kept though,” Kara says. “It can only be given.”
