    Summary

    Lena knows.

    Lena knows, because Lex told her before Kara got the chance to do it herself.

    Kara knows that Lena knows because she tried to tell her, afterwards. They had an awful crying, shouting fight about it in Lena's office, the kind of fight that sticks under Kara's skin and keeps her awake at night.

    (Kara accidentally crunched a handprint into Lena's desk. Lena threw Kara's phone off of her office balcony.

    She doesn't want to talk about it.)

    or: the story of what happens after Kara and Lena fall apart

    Summary

    It’s not that Kara doesn’t want to repair the broken bridge between Supergirl and Lena-- quite the opposite, in fact, but Lena had been excruciatingly clear with how she felt about Supergirl now. Kara had reeled from those words days after. They settled deep in her chest and crackle with pain every time she breathes. They are a grim reminder of what Kara had done, and what she continues to do. Mrs. Arias had been right; she could bury it deeper and deeper, but it would always come back to blow up in her face at triple the strength.
    She’s caught between love and hate, and it’s a very odd position to be in.

    Summary

    The next time the blonde rides past the stands, Lena can’t help but test the waters – she removes her sunglasses and stretches casually, revealing a tiny sliver of midriff. The girl’s eyes widen visibly, and her grip on the mallet slackens.
     
    Internally, Lena is ecstatic. Externally, her expression is neutral, her hair ruffling slightly as she fans herself with a programme.

    The secret joy is cut off abruptly when the girl flies dramatically over the neck of her horse, landing in a tangled heap on the grass.

    OR

    When Lena begrudgingly attended a charity polo game to appease her mother, she expected a long afternoon full of bad hors d’oeuvres and boring people. What she gets is Kara Danvers, who shows her how fun polo can be.

    Summary

    Hecate tries not to drag her feet as they come closer to the group gathered around a long table covered in sweets and drinks. She wishes she could have a few more minutes alone with Pippa, at least enough to get her bearings; but it’s Pippa’s birthday, and she refuses to be selfish. Refuses to bring down Pippa’s bright mood with her own dourness and insecurities. She even does her best to smile, a small, tense lift of her lips that makes her face feel hot and her jaw clench.
