Summary
“Also worth mentioning,” Lucy continued, “if you lie under oath to avoid implicating Lena and the defense has enough backup to prove you’re not telling the truth…”
Kara didn’t need the sentence finished.
“…perjury,” Kara muttered.
“Correct.” Lucy turned the page. “Which brings us to option three.” She chimed and tapped the final line. Then she looked up at them.
“You get married.”
Kara blinked. Once. Twice.
“What?”
or
DoD wants Kara to testify against Lena and the only solution (a terrible plan, really) is to get married. Public scrutiny, internet shipping discourse, and living together long enough to convince the government that their relationship is real.

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)
