Summary
“If you’re going to keep showing up like this, I’ve laid out some ground rules.” Madeline slid a contract a few inches over the desktop toward the woman, finally looking to meet her eyes sharply. “First of all, you never meet me here again.”
Verna’s fingertips landed on the top page curiously, but her eyes never left Madeline’s. A beat or two passed before Verna’s gaze drifted down to the papers. She picked them up, flipped through them. Madeline watched closely. That was half the point, after all. To watch.
What Madeline saw was an expression of delight.

Summary
If I could ask Death one question right now, it would be this: what kind of drugs are you on? Because this is messed up, and I figure you’d have to be pretty messed up to even brainstorm it, let alone put it into practice.
But Death has been mysteriously quiet lately. I suppose he must be busy. Tight schedule, ending the world and all that.

Summary
“I just don’t understand,” Anita began slowly, and then, Cruella noticed, there was a glint in her eye, something akin to frustration, “why they felt the need to make you out as some sort of...of villain.” She said the last bit tersely, shaking her head a little. Cruella simply leaned forward, fingers gripping the marble edge.
“Aren’t I one?”

Summary
Enter Kate Bishop—all crackling energy, gliding through the mass of people with her cool and confident in tow. Hands in the pockets of well-fitted trousers, part of an all-black suit that causes Yelena to blink a couple of times. Oh, god. Oh no.
It looks good on her.
OR
Yelena got to keep her sister; Kate grew up without a hero.

Summary
When Dani receives a letter in the mail from her mom telling her that she’ll be coming to visit Bly Manor - along with Dani’s ex-fiancé and his mother - she realizes the only way to get them to all move on is to convince them that she already has. With Jamie pretending to be her girlfriend (and quite convincingly, she might add), what could possibly go wrong?

Summary
She’s stammering again. The sole surviving daughter of Krypton, and she’s stammering because her platonic bestie is apparently incapable of wearing proper leg-concealing garments. “Um, I, uh,” she’s driveling. Time is dragging on second by agonizing second. It’s only through the power of Rao’s great mercy that she finally blurts out, “It’sjustthatyouneverwearpants.”
It takes Lena a minute to process the jumble of syllables, takes a whole harrowing minute of excruciating silence before she echoes, “Pants?”
Kara’s afraid she might be hyperventilating now—no, not hyperventilating. More like panting? Which… Okay, that’s okay, that’s totally okay and normal and Kara just needs to calm down and stop letting her gaze travel back to Lena’s bare thighs!
She pries her eyes away long enough to muster the words to say, “It’s—It’s just that you, um. It’s like you’re allergic to pants!”
---
Post-Phantom Zone, Kara moves in with Lena. And it’s perfect! It’s great! It’s fine!
Except for one tiny issue: Lena Luthor never wears pants at home.
Egregious pining and fruity antics ensue.

Fandoms: Killing Eve (TV 2018)

Summary
“Do you two know each other?” Elena asks, passing Eve a fresh cup of coffee. “You and the new lawyer, I mean.”
For a second, Eve imagines telling her everything. Saying, remember that night Niko left last year, and I thought we were really done? Well, I went out, got drunk, met her, and we fuc--
Eve can’t even make her pretend-self confess it all to Elena, not under the stark fluorescent lighting of their office. She can’t come up with a good lie, either -- a whole two seconds after seeing Villanelle again, her brain is still busy numbly cataloguing her every too-fast breath and rushed heartbeat. “Uh, I’m pretty sure we ran into each other at a conference, once?”
“Oh.” Elena pauses. “I wish I had her jacket. Her outfit is amazing.”
Eve’s smile would probably be a little less fake if she could entirely convince herself that she’s also thinking about Villanelle’s clothes, and not what’s underneath them.
But she and Niko are trying, right? So she smiles harder.
*
A breakup. A hookup.
For a year, Eve does her best to forget it all.
Then chance brings a new hire to the office, and everything gets a lot more complicated.

Summary
Lena lets out a careful breath and says, “James and I have decided to end our— association.”
What a perfectly weird and roundabout way to describe the end of a romantic relationship, Kara thinks. “Oh?” she says, aptly demonstrating her own comparative lack of eloquence.
It earns her one of Lena’s crinkly smiles at least, affection clear on her best friend’s face. “Should I feel offended that you don’t seem all that surprised?” she flusters.
“No,” Kara says, “I am,” and she is, is the thing, she's actually stunned, but she’s something else, much more than that.
She’s elated.
“Bummer,” Kara says.
-
In which Kara makes a tiny new enemy, Alex has an actual functioning gaydar, and Lena breaks up with James only to immediately start seeing someone else. And Kara is fine! Except for the part where she’s really, really not.
