    Summary

    “I know you like to think the best of people, but you don't know them like I do,” Kal broke in, “I know you remember Lex and I used to be best friends, just like you and Lena used to be. For years Lex seemed to be nothing but an upstanding businessman and humanitarian, until one day he wasn't. It wasn't until it was too late that I realized he might never have been my friend at all. I know you have a hard time accepting the same might be true of Lena, but I don't want you making the same mistake I made.”

    Kara took special care in returning her belongings to her bag, careful not to break anything, before taking a deep breath and responding, “I know how you feel about them, Kal, but Lena doesn't read that way to me. Not when I met her, not for the years we were friends, and not now.”

    Or

    Season 2 if Kara and Lena had met years previously and were friends for years before everything went down between Superman and Lex. Kal and Alex are sure that Lena will eventually follow the same path as Lex, but Kara is convinced that she knows better.

    Summary

    “I’m sure.” Lena doesn’t mean to snap —it’s more of a mild annoyance if anything because if her once best friend doesn’t know that there is no way in hell she would be doing this if she didn’t want to, if she didn’t, however unwillingly, trust Kara with this, then did she ever know her at all? “As long as you’re amenable, Kara, I’m offering my complete consent. Is that okay, or would you like it in writing as well?”

    For the first time, Lena’s snipe and the crystal clear memory of their last phone call just makes Kara smile. “I’m good,” she says softly.

    “Good.”

    “You know, a week ago, the morning after we— I’d convinced myself it was a dream. I was scared to check my call log.”

    “Do you have many wet dreams about me, Kara?”

    Kara laughs suddenly, though she can’t help but feel like she’s been missing out on an essential experience. “No.”

    “Shame.”

    “You, uh, you hung up last time,” Kara ventures hesitantly. “Before I could…”

    “If you’re worried I didn’t complete the mission, I’m happy to inform you that I did.”

    “No, before I could tell you that you sounded beautiful.”

    Summary

    Lena is on her fifth sleepless night in a row when her dear friend Jess suggests she visit a doctor for her troubles. Her suggestion is given slyly, a smirk painted on Jess’s face. This smirk has not always ended well for Lena, but she is desperate, overcome with shocking thoughts and tossing and turning, and so she accepts a recommendation: a Dr. Danvers, of Marylebone.

    This moment is one she will spend her life looking back on, at times rueing and others thanking a giving and kind God for.

    or, Lena is a Victorian woman with hysteria, and Kara is a kind Doctor with just the help she needs.

    Summary

    “So…” Kara says, and Lena chuckles self-consciously. “What can I do? What will get us through this?”

    Lena chews on her lip. It’s clear that there’s something on her mind, and Kara is determined to find out what. No matter how long it’s been she can still remember a few tricks to make Lena melt, and she employs one mercilessly, trailing her lips over Lena’s jawline all the way to her ear.

    “Tell me,” she murmurs, biting down on an earlobe, and she feels an almost unimaginable thrill when Lena shivers in response. “Tell me what you want.”

    OR

    After marriage and kids, intimacy has gone by the wayside. But when Lena asks to try something new and intense, it sends them down a path of reconnection that leaves them stronger (and thirstier) than ever.
