Summary
Nine years ago, Lena Luthor chose a Stanford job over love, not knowing Kara had already turned down the same position unless they both got hired. Now Kara's back as a visiting professor—Pulitzer-winning, cynical, and carefully distant.
Their research collaboration is everything Lena remembers: brilliant, electric, dangerous. But when Lena asks for a second chance, Kara runs to a war zone instead of risking her heart again.
This time, Lena's done letting fear make her choices. This time, she's choosing love first.

Summary
It’s not like Kara deliberately sets out to make her life harder than it should be. It’s not her fault that she’s excitable, okay, and she forgets things sometimes and maybe those things should not be forgotten under any circumstances. Maybe those things include, well, housing forms, which as it turns out are super important to submit on time if she wants to not be homeless on her sophomore year of college.
Her sister’s going to give her so much crap about this.
Alternatively: in which Kara forgot to fill out the housing form and was left with no choice but to live in the most exclusive apartment on campus.

Summary
Lena Luthor is at the top of her professional game with little time for anything else. Lena's lavish, fast-paced lifestyle drastically changes one snowy Christmas night when she unwittingly stumbles into the middle of a grocery store holdup and in a bold display of self-preservation disarms the gunman.
The next morning she wakes up in a suburban Midvale bedroom lying next to Kara, her college sweetheart who she left in order to pursue her career, and to the horrifying discovery that her former life no longer exists.
As she stumbles through this alternate suburban universe, Lena begins to feel strangely comfortable in this new role of loving wife and mother to two children. Lena finds herself at a crossroad, where she must choose between her high-powered career and the woman she loves.

“One large pepperoni and two large jalapenos. Is that everything?” the voice said kindly through the phone.
“Yes. Thank you. I love you, bye,” Lena said absentmindedly. When her brain caught up with her mouth, her pen stilled on the paper.
“I love you too, bye.” And the line cut.- Language:

Summary
Water fell in an even, rhythmic pattern, echoing across cobblestones. A shallow puddle gathered in the low corner of a damp dungeon. Chill seeped from the cracks in the walls and floor.
Chains clinked gently across stone, and an occasional draw of haggard breath pushed through the silence. A woman was on her feet, barely, knees bent and head hanging, hands manacled above her head. She was gripping and releasing the chains in time to the drips, trying to keep blood flowing through her aching arms and shoulders. She inhaled and exhaled slowly, dry tongue occasionally darting out onto dry lips. Blonde hair hung down, framing her face, sticking to her neck.
Kara Zor-El, princess of Krypton, was a prisoner – and she was scheduled to become a martyr.

Summary
The mechanic isn’t just pretty – she’s muscular. And sweaty. And broad. Her shoulders are wider than they look at first glance, and as she reaches up to remove her hat and wipe at her brow with her forearm, Lena can see her bicep flex.
Lena tries very hard not to be affected by that, or by the adorable red line the ball cap leaves on the woman’s forehead.
“Hi! I’m Kara. James said your Porsche gave out?”
OR
Needing to get away from the stress of her job for a few months, Lena buys a summer lake house in the most remote town she can find. She fully intends on keeping to herself, resting, and interacting as little as possible with the locals.
Until her car breaks down, and the town mechanic happens to be the hottest woman she’s ever seen.
