Summary
Maggie Sawyer jumped from her chair with a clatter. Before Alex could call her lightsaber to her hand, Maggie's lips were on hers. Every muscle in Alex's body went slack all at once as Maggie pushed her into the wall with two hands fisted into her cloak.
"Mmph!" she grunted, unable to speak past Maggie's insistent lips.
"Play along, or we're both dead," Maggie hissed in her ear.
Alex didn't know why she accepted the premise presented to her. She did.
At least, she did until Maggie put both hands flat against Alex's shoulders and shoved her back into the wall. Alex's head connected with a heavy thunk that clacked her teeth together and reverberated in her skull. Her lips buzzed with the suddenly missing contact.
The woman, who'd been all over her a moment ago, now stared at her with near hatred.
"Stay out of the things that don't concern you, Jedi," Maggie Sawyer spat.
What? "But you—" But she…. "What?"

Summary
It makes heat burn up Beatrice's face the first time she rises early, fingers thrumming with anger and desperate to hold a bow, and comes upon Mary and Sister Shannon, cloistered in the entrance to Sister Shannon's room. There's nothing untoward about it, per se, a perfectly respectable distance between them, but Sister Shannon's hair is mussed with sleep and Mary's looking at her like she hung the stars in the sky and it's all too much for her.
//
Beatrice joins the OCS. Through it, she finds a family.

Summary
Kara Danvers is thrown into the world of reporting when her friend asks her to interview the CEO of a Fortune 500 company who just so happens to be the sister of a domestic terrorist responsible for hundreds of deaths. How is a Marketing major supposed to pull off the interview of a lifetime? With determination and Kryptonian superspeed, apparently. The meeting goes surprisingly well, but Kara leaves with more questions than answers. Perhaps her many run-ins with the elusive Lena Luthor will give her the knowledge she craves. Meanwhile, a catastrophe calls everything Kara thought she knew about herself into question. And this time, the power of flight won't be enough to get the sunny alien off her feet.
OR
Supercorp AU. Kara has her powers, but meets Lena Luthor before becoming Supergirl. Kara attends NCU, working to get her master's in Marketing, but becomes interested in journalism after her friend asks her to interview Lena Luthor. First chapter loosely inspired by the Fifty Shades franchise. There will be fluff, angst, and smut galore (I am a godless heathen and I'm making it your problem; don't act like you aren't interested).

Summary
Maggie steps back to grab them drinks and then—and then Alex’s arms are pulling her in close, smooth and steady like she handles the cue and the subsequent crack that Maggie senses when their lips collide must be in her head because there’s no teeth, only soft insistent lips as Alex rocks into Maggie, but it feels like fireworks going off in her body, sparking and crackling and bursting into color.
A little rewrite/retelling of parts of 2x05-08, told through the lens of trans!Maggie.
