Summary
Sooyoung cries as she drinks from the animal. Tears mixing with blood as the bird stops breathing, lifeless eyes staring up at her. Soothing, warm red blood, better tasting than she’s ever felt before, flowing down her throat.
Jinsol pets her hair as she feeds.
“You look so pretty when you drink, Sooyoung,” Jinsol whispers.
Or; Sooyoung doesn't know what's happening to her, or why Jinsol's neck looks so unbearably pretty. Her confusion isn't aided by the inevitable comeback looming over their shoulders.

Summary
The sky is a colour similar to Chaewon’s new hair. It’s orange. Chaewon calls it “Cantaloupe coloured” but Hyeju thinks that that is just ridiculous.
“You’re staring,” Chaewon murmurs.
Hyeju doesn’t have enough energy to feel embarrassed.
“You look pretty…” she says back instead.
Or; Hyeju is sick and Chaewon doesn't want her to waste the little time she has left on League of Legends. Wheelchaired Hyeju is dragged along to have a fun day outside.

Summary
Chaewon thinks her girlfriend is pretty normal.
She scrunches up her nose in annoyance just like Jungeun when Sooyoung imitates and teases. Like Yeojin she gets incredibly defensive over her representative animal and like Chaewon herself she leaves hair everywhere.
And sometimes she hears things that no one else does.
Or; Chaewon starts noticing Hyeju's weird quirks - that including being a werewolf.

Summary
“You’ll wait a while.” Buffy replies, the unending hostility is wearing Faith down. She gets it, she really does. She’s the bad guy to them. She did some real fucked up shit to all of them—Buffy most of all. It’s fresh for them but it isn’t for her. She hadn’t realized just how long it has been, not until she got sent back here. She didn’t actually notice how easy it’d gotten interacting with the scoobies, how connected Buffy and her are despite everything.

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)

Inhabit - Laetare
VERY good. Supercorp.
This fic delves into a more unexplored side of being a superhuman. Kara struggles with mundane things, as her super strength and enhanced senses complicate regular life. Something as simple as opening a dishwasher is a nerve wrecking battle. The writing is quite detail oriented and human (sensitive?). -
