    Summary

    “You said it was bad,” Lena managed to hoarsely respond after a beat too long.

    Nodding, Lillian stared up at the ceiling for a moment, her throat bobbing as her lips twisted wryly. “I’m dying. Stage four pancreatic cancer.”

    “How long do you have?”

    “A month, maybe two.”

    “Oh.”

    -

    Returning home for the first time in twelve years to the news that her mother is dying, the last thing that Lena wants is to run into the childhood best friend she hasn't spoken to since she left Midvale all those years ago. Especially when said friend was the reason Lena swore she'd never go back home again.

    Still harbouring the sting of teenage love and rejection, as well as the pressure of her unsatisfying career and resentment towards her mother, Lena's life is brought to a halt in her hometown as she's forced to confront years of repressed feelings and the truth about what she really wants out of life while waiting for her mother to die.

    Summary

    This is what Amanda does. Smiles at her, teases her a little, friendly until it sounds half like an insult. She'll look around as if she's too good to be working there.

    Then, once they both retire to their shared cabin for the night, she won't want to talk much. Angela understands needing some alone time, some peace after a long day, but… It's all so superficial. The little they get along, Angela is convinced, is only because they have to; otherwise, the job would be miserable.

    Summary

    “Lena Luthor, right?” Kara says and Lena’s lips thin. Her ego scoffs at the idea that Kara doesn’t know who she is. Besides having had a class together every semester since freshman year, Lena’s a fairly known entity on campus if only because of her family, just the same as Kara and her goon teammates are well-known.

    “I see your reading skills are intact. Nice to meet you,” she says sarcastically.

    The tragic, amusing, altogether shocking story of how Lena Luthor agrees to tutor an idiot hockey player and, somehow, ends up with a fake girlfriend.

    Summary

    “I hope we can be friends,” she says and Lena’s throat feels thick at the sound of it. “I care about you, you know.”

    Heat spikes in the back of Lena’s eyes. “Friends,” she repeats. “Of course. Why couldn’t we be?”
     
    The answer is obvious. They were never really friends, even when they technically were. Lena has zero idea how Kara plans to manage it now with all their history between them.

     A sort of retelling of S2 under the premise that Lena and Kara went to college together and dated.

    Summary

    The plan is simple:

    1. Get into Harvard Law School

    2. Win Mike back

    3. Live happily ever after

    Unfortunately, Kara's best-laid plans didn't account for Mike's new fiancée: Lena Luthor.
