    Summary

    Kara Zor-El was meant to arrive on Earth as a protector, a guide to her baby cousin Kal-El. Instead, a cosmic accident left her stranded in stasis, delaying her arrival by decades. Now, she’s here, on an alien planet where her cousin has already grown into the world’s greatest hero, where everything from the language to the culture feels impossibly foreign, and where she, a trained scientist of Krypton, is expected to follow in her cousin's footsteps and protect the planet.

    This is a story that follows Kara’s journey as she navigates the chaos of human society, struggling with idioms that make no sense, bizarre social customs, and the ever-present confusion of being an alien on Earth.

    Summary

    Clark glanced down at Kara, out towards his weeping parents. “If I tell you where Kal-El is, you’ll leave? You won’t hurt Kara, won’t hurt anyone?”

    “Of course, my boy.” Zod replied. “I am not a cruel man.”

    “Clark!” His dad’s sharp voice rang through the air.

    Kara clutched at his calf, her nails digging into his skin, but he paid her no mind. He needed to believe Zod. He had to. Clark swallowed and met Zod’s eyes. He knew what he had to do. No matter the fact that he was so afraid that his heart beat louder than anything. His burnt shoulder ached.

    “I don’t really know what’s happening, but I—I think I’m Kal-El. I’m the boy you’re looking for.”

    Summary

    Tav has forgotten more lifetimes than he remembers.

    OR: The excessively dramatic, self-indulgent semi-meta retelling of BG3, with a half-elf Tav who doesn’t actually know who he is anymore. After centuries of looping, what he does know are the creatures he has loved and those he has destroyed - not always mutually exclusive - and that he's very, very tired.

    Characters and tags to be added by chapter as they appear.

    Summary

    As Ilwae careens out of the hole in the hull, he barely has time to utter a prayer; there's no way any of them can survive a crash from this height, so hopefully the Moonmaiden is preparing him a nice cozy spot in Her domain. He wishes he'd said goodbye to his mother this morning. He hopes she doesn't wait up too late for him. He prays the crash doesn't fuck up his face too badly - he's got a few sweethearts throughout the city, it would be a shame if his funeral couldn't be open casket so they can cry over him. If they'll even find his body.
