why all reylos are racist

y’all can go ahead and cancel me now because some of you are not going to like what i have to say and i am completely okay with that.

this recent gq interview with john boyega has incensed me. hearing all the things he went through, from disney and from “fans” and with no support from anyone… i’m livid. sometimes when i think about it for too long i start shaking, i’m so furious. and the response from the reylo fandom has infuriated me to a degree i honestly didn’t know was possible.

some of you may have seen my recent tumblr rampage. it’s reylo bullying hours here on my blog, and i’m not sorry either. one person threatened to post screenshots of my comments, which like… okay? i know what the fuck i said, it wasn’t that long ago. in fact i was going to include the screenshots in this post right here, but they blocked me before i had the chance. sorry. i’m sure somebody has them. anyway…

over the past two days in the star wars fandom we have seen something unprecedented: an outpouring of support for john boyega. both reylos and anti-reylos have joined forces to voice support for john in the wake of the gq interview (and the blm protests, let’s be real, some of y’all would not have given half a fuck if it wasn’t suddenly cool to be antiracist). and this showing of unity is one of the most rage-inducing things i’ve ever seen in a fandom (which is saying something; i have seen some shit).

reylo fandom, full offense intended, but where the fuck do you get off? you’re supporting john now? where was this support when tfa came out and you couldn’t stand the thought of him next to your white-girl-self-insert? where was it when tlj came out and your boy ryan completely sidelined him? where was it earlier this fucking year when y’all twisted a harmless joke (like yall haven’t spent years writing reylo-throne-room-sex-meta BULLSHIT) and ignored the vile racist shit coming from your own fav’s mouth? but you’re supporting him now? now that being antiracist is trendy? fuck outta here with that bullshit.

your fandom is the reason for the vast majority of the absolutely subhuman treatment john has endured over the last few years. your fandom influenced ryan (yes i know what his name is) to write tlj the way he did, you have behaved indefensibly here on tumblr.hell writing and drawing and fantasizing about all sorts of racist bullshit, and y’all have STAYED in his twitter mentions spewing hatred seven ways to sunday. but NOW, without a shred of self-reflection, you’re supporting him? now his experiences are valid?

the way that your fandom refuses to take accountability for its actions makes me see red. y’all stay on some “not all reylos” nonsense and i am SICK OF IT. i’m only gonna say this once, and i want you to hear me: you cannot be a reylo and be “antiracist”. you cannot participate in a fandom that has behaved the way yours has and say “blm, uwu acab.” you can’t. like do you think black people are dumb? that we can’t see right through you? we can.

“but rae,” i hear you whining. “you’re gonna say just because i like two characters together i’m a racist?” and of course not. that would be ludicrous. i think just because you knowingly engage and participate in a fandom that has racism encoded in its dna, you’re a racist. i think because y’all are in bed with racist harassers, racist trolls, and racist content creators, you’re a racist. that’s what the fuck i think. y’all lost the right to “it’s just a ship” me the instant you dragged john boyega into this.

here’s an example: i watched tfa about three days after it came out. i watched the first half, saw the obvious relationship set up between finn and rey, and thought, “aw, cute.” then i watched kylo and rey fight, watch him offer to teach her, and thought, “... interesting.”

when i got home i checked tumblr for finnrey content, saw the outpouring of love from black fans, all the cute fanart and fics blooming, and smiled. then, slowly, guiltily, i searched “reylo.”

BOOM. racism. the things i saw in the tag that night are tattooed on my brain. reylos rejoicing about the obvious rey/kyle pairing because “sw would never put her with that monkey finn”. calling him an “oaf”, “useless”, “bumbling”, “stupid”. reylos joking about how “when they talked about the Dark side, [they] didn’t think they meant that kind of dark.” “woke” reylos pretending to ship stormpilot in an obvious ploy to get finn away from kylo. and in between all of that, cute ship art. fun fics. talented gif makers. and nobody saying shit about the reprehensible behavior going on in their tag.

reylo is built on a foundation of racism. from that first week, racism has been woven into the fabric of your fandom, and it’s been going unchecked. and i don’t mean calling out other reylos. that’s not enough. i mean taking actual steps. y’all have been sitting in a cesspool of racism for five years, and its time for you to get the fuck out or shut the fuck up about being an “ally”. y’all need to leave this fandom.

don’t agree? here’s another story. in 2017, when i still watched supergirl (before i grew taste) i shipped karamel. for those of you who don’t know, karamel is the ship of kara zor-el (supergirl) and mon-el, her second love interest. when supergirl was moved to the cw for its second season, the decision was made to abruptly end her romance with jimmy olsen, played by mecahd brooks (a black man) and replace him with mon-el, played by chris wood, a white man, who was revealed to be, among other things, an alien slaveowner, as well as a playboy and all-around terrible person. and i shipped them. look, i’m not defending myself, but i never really bought the chemistry between jimmy and kara. even though mon-el’s introduction and the way that they carelessly disregarded kara’s feelings for jimmy made me uncomfortable, i thought the way melissa played her attraction to chris wood was more believable (and again, i’m not defending myself, but they are now married so it’s not like i was wrong). so i shipped them. simple as that, right?

well, no. not really. because the inherent racism in the way the writers wrote out her admittedly sweet romance with a black man in favor of a white slaveowner jerk kept bothering me. and finally i decided that it made me too uncomfortable to participate in. i never really reblogged any karamel fandom stuff, but i completely divorced myself from the fandom. i stopped reading karamel fic, and i switched to reblogging exclusively jimmy/kara content until the fandom died out/i stopped watching. i made a choice that real life racism is more important to me than a fucking fandom or a ship, and then i acted accordingly. simple as that.

and i’m not saying you have to stop liking the reylo dynamic. i still like the chemistry between kara and mon-el. i’ve shipped problematic ships before (bamon comes to mind) and i don’t think there’s anything wrong with that (to a point). but there’s a difference between liking a ship dynamic and engaging and contributing to a fan culture of racism. you have to stop participating in the fandom. y’all are in bed with people indistinguishable from confederate-flag-waving-all-lives-matter-touting racists and you don’t feel the need to get out of that environment? there comes a certain point where you have to decide if fandom bullshit is more important to you than fighting racism, and unfortunately, reylos have chosen wrong. that, ladies and gentlemen, is why all reylos are racist, regardless of what they say. roll credits.

except i have more to say, so i’m gonna say it. first of all, i’m not trying to hold myself up as some kind of paragon of virtue. i’m not holier-than-thou because all my ships are “woke” or whatever. chemistry is subjective, and we’re all going to be attracted to different ship dynamics, and there’s nothing wrong with that in theory. what matters is the execution. i finally had to say one day, “you know, this ship and the racist baggage it carries is actually less important to me than battling systemic racism on every level, including the fandom level”. y’all thought being antiracist was gonna be easy? that you wouldn’t have to make some actual changes, to make some actual sacrifices? sorry not sorry to disappoint. and if i, a normal-ass person with flaws and problematic thinking that i’m still dealing with and the whole ine yards, can make that decision, then other people should be required to as well.

(what really irks me is that the karamel fandom wasn’t even really that bad! i definitely could have gotten away with being a karamel stan in 2017. thankfully the supercat and supercorp shippers were doing the lord’s work and bullying them into submission (don’t think i’m letting y’all off the hook either, y’all have got some racism to deal with as well but that’s an essay for another day) but like most of the racism happened at the writing level; the fandom itself wasn’t engaging in racist clownery on the regular. but like the reylos are. y’all see racist bullshit coming from your neighbor, fav fic writer, artist, gif maker, whatever, and don’t say shit? don’t feel the need to distance yourself from them? gtfoh.)

i made this argument earlier when i was on my rampage (which i’m still on btw so don’t clown in my inbox, you will get your shit rocked) but i’m going to make it again because i feel like its important to note. when i pointed out that existing in the reylo fandom while you are aware of its racism makes you complicit in that racism, a white reylo told me earlier that (paraphrasing, my memory’s not as good as it used to be and i did mention that they’d blocked me) “you don’t solve a problem like systemic racism by ignoring it. leaving the fandom would be allowing it to happen.” when i pointed out that that’s police officer rhetoric almost verbatim, she (a white reylo) admonished me (a black woman) not to compare police brutality to a “ship war.” lmao.

look, clearly y’all need a refresher on what “systemic” means. it means, quite simply, that there are systems, large and small, allow for racism to exist, and it also means that allowing for racism to exist on the small scale means expecting it on a large one. like you think police officers spring fully formed from the head with racist ideals already ingrained? no! they learn it and learn to justify it with “well just because my friend made a racist joke doesn’t make me a racist” and “just because i laughed at my friend’s using a racist term in my video game doesn’t make me a racist” and “just because my friend is a racist doesn’t mean i’m a racist” and then we have people watching their coworkers kneel on a man’s back for 8 minutes with no remorse. i’m not gonna solve police brutality by fighting reylos on tumblr, but fandom racism is real racism with consequences on our world, and i don’t tolerate ANY type of racism. and the fact that you are so willing to not just tolerate it but justify it should say something to you.

and not all reylos are like this. similar to cops, good reylos don’t last. i have seen people grow so disgusted by the racism in the reylo fandom that they publicly turned their backs on it, and those reylos i respect. you’ve heard of “the only good cop is an ex-cop” well get ready for “the only good reylo is an ex-reylo”.

(and also like far be it from me to justify a cop but one could at least say they have their livelihoods to think about (not like they couldn’t just pick a nonmurderous profession but i digress) but you reylos can’t even choose between taking a stance against the hateful and unjustified bullying of a man who had the audacity to… get a job (?)... over a ship? come on now.)

the point of all this is, for all their posturing about “being antiracist” and “fuck 12” and “support john boyega”, reylos have decided that a relationship between two fictional people is more important than all the black and brown people who are hurt by that decision and the consequences of that decision. and before y’all pull some “b-but there are POC reylos!” (stop fucking using poc as an adjective, its a noun, it stands for person of color, please use it as such) internalized racism is a thing. busting out your token “reylo of color” (see how easy that was?) is not going to change my mind. all reylos are complicit in the racism of their peers, and being complicit makes you culpable. full stop.

and that is why the public support of john boyega from the reylo fandom has me seeing red. renounce your fandom or keep that man’s name out of your mouth. anyway, this was long and ranty and entirely stream-of-consciousness and i’m refusing to edit it so it’s probably completely incomprehensible to anyone besides me but if you made it this far thanks for reading ig. all reylos are racist, blm, fuck 12, acab, stan john boyega, don’t clown in my inbox unless you’re coming to bully me for being a karamel shipper, which i deserve (or do, i couldn’t give less of a fuck). good night.

Alright 💗 Bre’s boys reactions to reading their kid bedtime stories and mom slips in like cuz like ...👀 I wanna hear the story too

Billy Russo: “...and even though Barry the Bear was different, and not everyone understood him, Peter the Panther would always be his friend.” You stood in the doorway and watched as Billy read your three year old son his bedtime story. “The end,” Billy closed the book. “Daddy,” your son said, snuggling into his chest. “Mm?” “You’re Peter the Panther, and Uncle Frankie is Barry the Bear!” You watched Billy pause, considering it, before his face broke out in a wide smile. “Yeah... Yeah, you’re right...”

Logan Delos: “...I’ll like you forever, I’ll love you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be.” Logan looked down at your daughters, who were both staring up at him as they sat in his lap. “Will you love us for always?” Your oldest daughter asked, hugging her teddy bear to her chest. “Of course I will,” he answered, making your heart swell. “And will we always be your babies?” Your other daughter asked. “As long as I’m living,” he answered, “and even after that.”

Jax Teller: You heard a thump, and when you went in to check, Jax was on his back on the floor and your son was sitting on his chest. “...And once the dragon was dead,” Jax said grandly, fully making up the story as he went on, “the Prince was able to take over...” “And lived happily ever after?” Your son asked, grinning. “Yup, and he married the sexiest Princess ever...” “Jax!” You cried out, he turned, and he and your son gave you the exact same Teller smirk.

Coco Cruz: “...the end,” Coco said, his voice low. You leaned against the door, smiling. Your son was cuddled against Coco’s chest, and your daughter was curled into his side. “Daddy?” She asked, looking up at him. “Yeah, baby?” “Can you read it again?” Coco looked down at your son, who was sucking his thumb. The baby nodded, and Coco laughed. “Okay... Once upon a time...”

Angel Reyes: “...and that’s why you have to always listen to Mami, or La Llorana will come and get you...” You stopped when you heard your husband’s voice, and you peeked around the corner. Your daughter was wide eyed, and your son was clutching his pillow to his chest. “That... That story is made up, right, Papi?” He asked. “Oh, it’s really real!” Angel said back. “Angel!” You said, watching as both of your kids cowered into their father. You rolled your eyes as he laughed--you knew the kids would be sleeping in your bed tonight.

Miguel Galindo: You loved watching Miguel read to your daughter; she was only two, but when Daddy was talking, she would stop and listen. He had her full attention. “And so all of the ducklings went to the pond,” he said, his voice soft. Your baby patted the ducks in the book, giggling as she looked up at Miguel. “You like the ducks, mi princesa?” She nodded, reaching up and pulling at his beard. Miguel laughed, taking her little hand and kissing it. “Papa loves you,” he said quietly, “loves you more than anything...”

Nick Amaro: “And that’s why,” Nick said, reading from the book, “you never go somewhere with people you don’t know. If you are ever scared or in danger, you can always go to a police officer.” He stopped, looking down at your sons. “Do you know what number to call to get the police?” He asked them. “911!” They both answered at once. He nodded, high-fiving them both. “Good! Should we keep reading?” “Yes!” They both answered at once. You laughed, shaking your head. Gotta love twins.

Johnny Tuturro: Johnny was your daughter’s preferred bedtime story teller. He was very theatrical, so much so, that you loved storytime as much as your kid did. You sat in her tiny bed with her in your lap as Johnny performed the story, having memorized it by now. “And bam!” Johnny cried, pretending to shoot lasers from his hands. “Supercat defeated the evil Dr. Dog!” She clapped her hands. “And then what happened?” She asked, even though she knew the story by heart too. Johnny stood with his legs apart, holding his hands out dramatically. “But then,” he said slowly, “Mrs. Mouse came up and said,” his voice suddenly went higher, “ ‘SUPERCAT, HELP ME, SOMEONE STOLE MY WHEEL OF CHEESE!’”

Rio: Rio sat in bed, Marcus on his right, your daughter on his left, and the cat in his lap. His voice was low and deep, and your daughter was already nodding off; the cat had dozed off two stories ago. “Can you turn the page, Papa?” He asked. Marcus reached out and turned the page. “Thank you,” Rio said before continuing the story, “so the whole family got in the car and drove all night to get to the festival...” Marcus smiled, and so did you from your place at the door. Your daughter’s eyelids were fluttering, and Rio leaned down and pressed a kiss to the top of her head as he read on.

*******************************************************************************************

Thanks for reading! Please let me know what you think! I made all these stories up except for Logan’s (and Angel’s haha). The story Logan is reading was my Mom’s favorite story to read us when we were little, she still quotes it to us now that we’re old and gross.

SuperCat Christmas in July FAQ

How is this different than the Season 1 Secret Santa? The biggest difference is this exchange is Supercat only. It’s a fun way to spread some joy for a ship we’ve all been missing, and the winter blog is just letting me host it here to increase the potential audience, so we get as much love going around as possible for this Christmas in July. All the usual ships from the original exchange will be back this winter!

How do I join? Fill out the sign-up form linked: HERE. Sign-ups close ‪at 11:59 ET on May 26th, and prompts should go out by June 1st. Feel free to reblog the sign up post to get the word out!

What do I have to submit? Two prompts, for whatever you like. Try to make your prompts somewhat different, so your santa can pick the one they like best and have as much fun filling as you have receiving. If they aren’t specific enough (or on the off chance they’re too specific), you’ll receive an email to update so your Santa has the best chance of creating something you’ll enjoy without having to struggle.

So what should my prompts look like? Vague prompts like “fluff” don’t give your santa a good idea of what you want, while overly specific prompts don’t leave much room for creativity. An example of a good prompt is “Cat/Kara - everyone thinks they’re already dating.”

What should I do once I get my prompts? Once you’ve decided which of the two prompts you’d like to fill, you may submit your work to the collection (SuperSummer2021) at any time. There are posting tutorials already written by the winter blog - feel free to drop a message in the ask if you need additional help.

What will I get from my santa? Once the calendar flips to July 31st ET the collection will be revealed, and your santa will have posted one of your two prompts for you to enjoy!

Do my prompts have to be summer related? Not at all! In fact, there’s already a great variety of prompts from years past, so whatever you’d like to receive, send on in!

Am I limited to any specific canon? Nope! Your prompts may include any characters or settings, so long as the focus remains on a Supercat relationship. A word of caution on your prompts though, some santas might not be familiar with recent seasons. If one of your prompts includes specifics from recent canon you might consider a more general prompt, or one set in earlier seasons, for your second.

What if I need to edit my prompts later? Sign-up forms are editable ‪until May 26th, by using the link provided when you submitted your form. Message me before submissions close if you are unable to access your form.

What if I’m not sure if I can participate? You can still participate by leaving kudos and comments on the completed works when they’re revealed. But we don’t want to risk someone not getting a gift, so please only sign up if you’re reasonably certain you’ll be able to fill your prompt.

What if I do have to drop out? If you need to drop out of the exchange, please let me know as soon as possible so I can try to find someone else to fill your prompt

Do I need a tumblr account to participate? Only an AO3 account is needed, but if you do have a tumblr feel free to send anon messages to your giftee. Just make sure not to discuss your prompt fill on tumblr, since secrecy is half the fun!

What if I love both my prompts? You are welcome to surprise your person with an extra gift! Just submit both prompts to the collection. I’m sure your prompter won’t complain ;)

What if I don’t like either of the prompt choices I’m asked to respond to? Try looking for a specific element or two of the prompt that you find appealing to make it work to your art or writing preference. It doesn’t have to match exactly. Just try to make something they will enjoy. If you truly don’t feel capable of filling either prompt, please let me know as soon as possible that you will be dropping out. Once prompts are sent out it’s extremely difficult to swap things around.

When is my fill due? All works should be posted to the collection by July 27th.‬

Why do I have to submit by the 27th if the collection doesn’t reveal until the 31st? Pinch hitters work hard to fill the prompts for anyone who has to drop out, and every year they do an amazing job. But they need time to do it! Having a few days between the deadline and the reveal gives those pinch hitters enough time to fill their last minute prompts before the collection goes live.

If you have any further questions, feel free to shoot me a message!

Where to Find Buffy Femslash Fanfiction (Guide)

Similar to the guides I did for Xena and Kigo a while ago, this is a guide how to find Buffy femslash fanfiction.

Who/What is Buffy?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a superhero, urban fantasy show that was produced from 1997 to 2003 and was very popular. [fanlore article]

Not only was Buffy a strong female protagonist (the Slayer, the chosen one), there were several strong and interesting female characters. Unsurprisingly there is a staggering amount of femslash ships and fanfiction.

Ships

There were 2 canon lesbian ships: Tara/Willow (S4-6) and Tara/Kennedy (S7), including a controversy about Tara's death. There was a lot of subtext / chemistry - in particular between Buffy and Faith and while Buffy/Faith (Fuffy) was/is the most popular, there are a lot of non-canon femslash ships and fics.

List of popular f/f ships (with AO3 tags & links, where available)

Cordelia Chase/Buffy Summers

Cordelia Chase/Willow Rosenberg

Faith Lehane/Buffy Summers

Faith Lehane/Dawn Summers

Faith Lehane/Tara Maclay

Faith Lehane/Willow Rosenberg

Kennedy/Willow Rosenberg

Tara Maclay/Buffy Summers

Tara Maclay/Willow Rosenberg

Willow Rosenberg/Buffy Summers

Faith Lehane/Tara Maclay/Buffy Summers

Tara Maclay/Willow Rosenberg/Buffy Summers

Where to find Buffy Fanfiction

Considering that most of the stories were published a long time ago, it is not surprising that many stories are gone now.

But a surprisingly large number is still available – especially if you look around the various sites (sometimes a fic gone on one archive site, but still available on another site), use search engines and try the internet archive.

And some new stories are still written today (or republished). Don't forget to check AO3 if the author re-published their work there.

supercatweek · 4 years

Photo

It’s time for another Supercat Week!

This year we’re partnering with General Danvers Week, so there are new twists for even familiar faces! This means a few possible changes, and lots of possible fun.

From the 11th through the 18th of October, we’ll be asking you to post Supercat (or General Danvers) content that you’ve created especially for this week of celebrating our lovely little ships.

To give you inspiration, we’ll suggest some broad themes for each day. While there will be examples provided that you’re welcome to use, please also go wild and interpret the prompts any way you like.

What do you mean by joint event?

This week all the prompts work for either pairing (or both if you’re inspired!) and will run at the same time as General Danvers week.

Does that mean I have to write General Danvers?

Not if you don’t want! All prompts will work equally well for Supercat alone. You’re free to pick either pairing for the whole week, for a specific prompt, or include both pairings in your fill. The only requirement is that at least one of the pairings be the focus.

How does it work?

You don’t have to sign up or pledge. Anyone who wants to join, just take a look at the themes and start creating. And this event isn’t just for writers either!

Fanfiction, fanart, graphics, gifs, vids, fanmixes, meta, wallpapers, icons, etc. are all welcome. If it’s about Kara and Cat (or Alex and Astra), and you made it, we wanna see it!

But don’t post them right away!

As you’ll see from the information below, there are certain dates for certain prompts. All content for the prompts should be posted for the date listed. If you’ve created something for Supercat, tag your work with #supercatweek (within your first 5 tags), so that we can reblog it!

Does your work also (or only) have General Danvers? Tag it with #general danvers week (again within the first 5 tags) so @generaldanversweek can find it as well!

You can also add it to the joint ao3 collection, so everyone can revel in the goodies.

We’ll compile masterlists for each day and the whole week, so nobody misses out on great new Supercat stuff.

Are there rules?

Not many! We ask that you create something new or specifically for Supercat Week. So no reposting or updating your WIPs here please. Obviously the exception for this is Day 8: Creator’s Choice where WIP updates are encouraged if they fit the Stronger Together theme!

Make sure to use the tag on tumblr and/or the collection on AO3 so that all works can be counted and shared with the Supercat fandom to enjoy. There’s no limit on size, length, or rating. Crossovers and AUs are perfectly acceptable. You can post just to Tumblr (with the tag), just to AO3 (add it to the collection) or to both.

Okay, so what are the themes and when are we posting?

You can see them in the explanatory gifset here, but just to recap in plain text:

Day 1 - October 11th - Enemies to Lovers

Day 2 - October 12th - Against the Odds

Day 3 - October 13th - Teamwork

Day 4 - October 14th - Distance

Day 5 - October 15th - Struck Together

Day 6 - October 16th - Family

Day 7 - October 17th - Role Reversal

Day 8 - October 18th - Creator’s Choice

As you can see, the themes this year all fall into the broader idea of “Stronger Together”.

Post your work on the day that matches your theme, or if you’re a bit late, throw it up on the last day, which is creator’s choice.

And don’t feel like you need to make a fanwork for all eight days.You can pick and choose for which ones you’re inspired by, or you can do all eight. And if you’re considering making more than one a day, hell yeah!

If you’re just now reading this and General Danvers & Supercat Week has already started, feel free to jump right in! And don’t stress too much about the deadline. We will always accept late submissions!

I don’t have a tumblr. Can I still participate?

Absolutely! Feel free to spread this event around to other sites and maybe have some of your friends signal boost. If you want to make things but don’t have a blog, just use the submission or ask boxes to give us a link to your creation, and it will absolutely be added to the site.

Hello! So I’m not sure if anyone remembers this blog, but I’ve been in a huge supercat mood lately, so I’m gonna start posting some more supercat gif content.

I’ve still been following a lot of the supercat content from my personal blog and I just want to say that I’m so impressed by how much amazing content is still being made in the fandom. And I’m really glad to be back :)

It becomes harder to enjoy supercat fics when so many authors keep misconstruing Lena’s whole motivation & literally her whole character

Like I really appreciate all supercat writers but also as someone who went & still goes through similar emotional abuse to Lena’s it just frustrates me & triggers me a bit seeing her being emotional manipulated by Lex be painted as her having always being bad or her not really caring for Kara when really it’s all because how the reveal went down left her thinking that Kara had been using her for the past 3 years

Idk idk idk idk I just needed to rant somewhere I really do love all the supercat writers I just can’t personally read any more fics that keep doing this it’s too triggering. Btw I do take the time to try to avoid supercat fics tagged like they may feature Lena in that way

Btw this isn’t me telling anyone to change anything in their writing I just needed to rant in my own space on my own blog I’ve got nothing but love for all the fellow writers making supercat content

Still me. What I'm getting from all of this is that when people love/are invested in someone, they will excuse/ignore all the bullshit that person does, which is wrong and unhealthy. And because there are a lot of them, the rest get bullied for stating facts, never mind having different opinions or get driven out of a fandom which they've been in since the beginning--that was almost me by the way, but my love for Kara and Alex have kept me strong through it all--also equally wrong and unhealthy.

(2/3)

I’m grateful for your bravery in speaking out because I know in my heart that there are a lot of us who share your opinion on Lena’s bullshit, but are either scared of the backlash, have been burned before or just don’t want to deal with the shitstorm sure to head our way. I’m sorry if my asks ended up inviting negativity into your blog. I got here because of your Future Shock series, which I love. I’ve been mainly lurking. I deleted my blog years ago thanks to fandom fuckery as you call it.

(3/3)

I’ve since found that I share your point of view in a lot of things and your opinions to be a breath of fresh air in the sometimes stifling fandom that is Supergirl and couldn’t help, but chime in, mainly out of curiosity, but also because it’s been a while since I’ve had a fandom discussion that’s based on fact and not driven by blind obsession. So thank you for listening and replying. I’m excited for the next Future Shock story–infinitely more compelling than what they’ve teased for Season 5.

Thank you for your asks, and as for any negativity, I honestly don’t give a fuck about it. I’ve spent a lot of time getting to the point where I just am who I am, and anyone who doesn’t like it is perfectly welcome to fuck right the hell off.

That said, I also don’t really want to act like I’m some kind of brave activist for saying all of this. I’m mostly just stating my opinions about the show and about what it’s become. I LOVE Supergirl. I have loved the character since I was eight years old. I feel connected to the character in a way I haven’t ever really felt connected to another Superhero, and she means the world to me. She really does. Season One had its faults, but it was amazing and wonderful, and Kara and Alex and Cat and Winn and J’onn and Eliza and Leslie and Siobhan and Astra and Max and Lucy hell, even James and General Lane all took me on a journey that I loved. I really, really think Lena could have been a great addition to the show, the way Tess Mercer (the Smallville version of Lena) was. I just… I think they went in a bad direction with her because they don’t really plan out beyond a season at a time. I really wish, when they put together the show, they had left Ali Addler in charge, and brought in Sterling Gates to head up the writing team. The man did an absolutely wonderful job on the comic, and he very clearly loves the character more than just about anyone I’ve ever seen in the industry. Then I wish they’d stacked the rest of the writers room with women. Specifically Women who have been refuges, queer women, and women of color. People who could bring more authenticity to the stories they are telling.

I like to think, one of the reasons Future Shock works so well is that I’m writing things I know. I have a history of trauma. I have depression and PTSD. I understand what it’s like to go day to day feeling this enormous weight of responsiblity for something that feels like it’s tipping out of control. I know what it’s like to be the target of hate and bigotry. I know what it’s like to lie about who you are in order to survive. I know what it’s like to want to die. All of that, I can put on the page when I’m writing.

And I think that might be why I’m more willing to talk about Lena than a lot of people. Because I have had someone in my life who is a LOT like the canon portrayal of Lena. I was with her for 13 years. I nearly married her. But our relationship was incredibly one sided, abusive, and toxic, and seeing what I went through, seeing Kara made to apologize the way my ex constantly made me apologize for her fuck ups and her bad behavior… It pisses me off. A LOT.

I’ll say that James has some of the same behaviors that Lena does towards Kara, and he doesn’t get called on them either, which is why I’m not any more a fan of Karols*n than I am of Superc*rp.

Honestly, I miss season one fandom. It wasn’t perfect. The people dumping on the Kalex shippers, and the Kalex/Supercat ship war was frustrating, and there are still people on both sides who are bitter about it, but honestly, it was a lot better than having the 800 lbs Gorilla that is Superc*rp fandom smashing around and shitting all over anyone who doesn’t worship Lena and consider her perfect and without flaw.

Also, please keep in mind that I am perfectly willing to admit that it is just a *portion* of the Superc*rp fandom that behaves badly, but at the same time, I still see reblogs of redkrypto’s stuff come across my dash all the time, even from Superc*rp shippers who I would otherwise consider not part of the toxic part of the fandom, so there is a lost of tolerance of the shitty parts of Superc*rp fandom by the fandom at large.

And to be perfectly frank, it’s not even *just* the Superc*rp fandom. The Sanv*rs fandom, and I say this as a women who has produced somewhere upwards of 900K words of Sanv*rs content, has pulled a LOT of shady shit. And I’m not even going to get into the racism that ran through both the Sanv*rs and AgentR*ign fandoms when Kelly was announced and when she showed up.

I could also get into the transphobia from the Superc*rp fandom that I see directed towards Nia, but that is a whole other rant.

Hi! Call me Dove if you like! I’ve been lurking in the Supergirl fandom for a while! Kara Danvers is one of my favorite characters and I want to share my love for her!

About me and my blog:

This is a sideblog, so I can’t send replies or asks directly.

I’m still somewhat new to the fandom, and I primarily keep up with the show through Tumblr. I want to watch the eps when I have more free time!

I don’t have many friends here yet, but I follow a fair number of Supergirl-focused or Supergirl heavy blogs.

I feel like an outsider sometimes because I don’t ship Karamel OR Supercorp. I follow people who ship either one, and others who ship other pairings like Supercat or SuperDreamer.

I try to be tolerant toward almost friendships and ships! There has been a lot of toxic behavior from Lena this season, which makes me uncomfortable, so you may want to blacklist the “anti Lena Luthor” tag if you think that would make this blog more enjoyable for you!

I want to fill my blog with gifs, meta, fan art, and some fanfiction.

I want to keep my blog mostly Kara-centered, with love for Alex, Nia, and Brainy thrown in!

Thank you @moonfell44 for tagging me in this! I like this type of stuff :)

Rules: Tag 9 people you’d like to get to know better.

Top 10 songs(/pieces) I can’t stop listening to:

Ughh so I haven’t listened to a lot music lately??? just the same playlists on Spotify lol

In no particular order:

1.- Bloodstream - Stateless (it gives me A LOT OF Sansaery vibes so)

2.- Queen of Peace - Florence + The Machine (QUEEN IN THE NORTH ANYONE???)

3.- Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe - Kendrick Lamar (my song to go whenever I’m high lol)

4.- Memo - Years & Years

9.- All Night - Beyoncé

10.- Que No Salga La Luna - ROSALÍA

Bonus Track: Game of Thrones: Season 8 soundtrack. The season was AWFUL I know but Ramin Djawadi is amazing.

Favorite color(s): I always say black and red but honestly I don’t know anymore lol

Favorite ships:

* Brittana (Glee). They are the ship that I will always love the most. The Glee days were I N S A N E, tears, fights, angry tweets, stupid break ups, Santana leaving for NYC, Britt dating Sam, Heather saying stupid shit, Naya dating Big Sean??, Heather getting pregnant, MORE FIGHTS, Ryan Murphy saying that his favorite thing was “drinking wine and avoiding Brittana tweets”, MORE TEARS, sweet lady kisses, HEYA, uffffffff the good old days.

* Sansaery (Game of Thrones). The reason I made this blog in the first place. Being sucked into the little fandom in 2013, SEASON 3 and all those scenes. Falling in love with Natalie Dormer (AGAIN), Sophie tweeting about her crush on Nat, saying that Margaery should be Sansa’s girlfriend, yeap good years those were (2013-2014) I know they weren’t/never will be canon and Margaery is dead??but who cares? They’re my queens and I will love them forever. It doesn’t matter if it’s been years somehow I always come back to them.

* Petramos (Jane the Virgin). Yael Grobglas and Rosario Dawson playing a couple. Do I need to say more? The chemistry they have? Finally I can see older women on my tv screen being completely in love with each other and THEY ARE NOT AFRAID OF KISSING EACH OTHER WITH OPEN MOUTHS. Now things are rocky BUT FUCK YOU JENNIE FOR THIS ENTIRE SEASON OF BAD WRITING, BYE.

* Supercat (Supergirl). Ok so what’s that show again???? This ship has a special part of my heart for SO MANY reasons *sighs* but mostly because I will give my life for Cat Grant! and to be honest I’m a huge fan of Carol (yeah sue me!!!!! boo hooo) so I was destined to fall in love with them. Plus first season?? it was heaven where ONLY Supercat and Alex/Astra shippers existed and everything was beautiful, can we go back to that???

* Posie (Legacies). It’s been like 2 weeks since I started watching this show and I SHIP THEM SO HARD THAT I’M SCARED. SCARED. All that teenage angst it’s too delicious. Josie Salztman belongs to Penelope Park and that’s it.

* Hollstein (Carmilla). It was a BIG THING back in the day. Broody Vampire and Cinnamon Roll :). Elise and Natasha should date (yeap I’m still not over that topic lol)

* Sleeping Warrior (OUAT). Mulan and Aurora were the superior ship, the material was there, they just needed TO BE CANON.

* Spuffy (Buffy The Vampire Slayer). DON’T @ ME, I’m trash... I KNOW.

* Barney/Robin (HIMYM). THEY WERE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER, EVERYBODY KNEW/KNOWS THAT AND TED MOSBY SUCKS

I think I had more ships along the years but I’m old and I forget things lol but those are always with me so yeah.

Lipstick or chapstick: Lipstick, I’m kind of obsessed with them at the moment hahaha

Last Movie: Melancholia from Lars Von Trier

Currently Reading: All the Posie fics I can find in AO3 lmao does this mean books? haha King Kong Theory by Virginie Despentes... controversial feminism I know.

Tagging: NO NEED TO ANSWER BUT I NEEDED TO TAG PEOPLE BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO BE A LOSER

@nonnyfcknawesome93 @expressivite @hell-much @enjoythefreakshowpeople @the-bisexual-from-hell @thekiksrocks101 @toma2 @freaking-isadorkable and i guess this henelope binch lover @lesbianreginageorge

#it seems that i can never write short answers... never #lmao #i hate myself

I suppose I should be good and stop poking the cobra - my name's Lara, this is my rp blog which is why it says Anyil all over it. I read your SuperCat fic on AO3, Four stages of deserving, and it intrigued me - so I came here, and got more intrigued, and had to fire off my sassy little mouth. And please, take all the time you need; my panties are still available to ruin tomorrow, too. If I have to change them twice again tomorrow, well, that's what laundry is for.

@kendrene, your prompt is to blame for those panties being ruined, fyi.

Good thing you’re comfortable with laundry, there’s always more coming. In more ways than one.

So you post stuff for supercat and supercorp. Which one do you ship?

Anon, you must be new to this blog. Lol.

I love the dynamic between Kara and Lena, and I appreciate Lena’s face. I’m not a fan of how she’s been written, so I still struggle to get completely on board. Though, that’s not Lena’s fault. Hopefully, this season will help. I do post plenty of Supercorp because I do like the pairing, however, I have trouble writing them.

That being said, SUPERCAT IS MY OTP FOR LIFE!!!!! I will ship these two until the day I die. And I swear, if Lena sets her attractive bottom in Cat Grant’s office chair, or has a drink on Cat’s balcony with one of Cat’s glasses, or they try to make Lena into a fountain of wisdom and snark, so help me, I will burn down that set myself and delete my Tumblr account!!!

So, short answer. I ship both, but HIGHLY prefer Supercat.

Supercorp AU Fic Recs Part 4 - Different Realities

In the fourth part of my SuperCorp (Supergirl) AU Femslash Fanfiction Recommendation, I have collected 13 excellent Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor Alternate Universe (AU) stories which Kara and Lena live very different lives and meet under very different circumstances from the show: Stories in which they are actresses, models, singers, figure skaters, baristas or professional cuddlers - and one in which Kara is French. This collection includes many of my favorite SuperCorp fics and is maybe the ultimate testament how many talented authors have poured their creative energy into different ways for Kara and Lena to fall in love.

Nearly all of the included stories are No powers AUs, in which Kara is human. All of the stories have a happy ending.

Overview of the 13 Kara / Lena stories

Detailed recs and links after the cut. My favorites are marked with *

A) Actor and Model AUs

No one mourns the wicked * by kellsbells: The wickedly angsty musical AU

We're playing to a full house, darling (but this show can't go on) * by The_Ominous_Owl: The actors AU in which Kara is an actress that used to play Supergirl

Blockbuster (it's the movie au ok) by unnecessary_databass: The nonlinear actors rom-com

Maybe we were made to dance around each other, babe by goon: The Kara/Lena and Alex/Lucy model/singer AU

B) Coffee Shop/Barista AUs

Dripping Onto You by spymaster: The Barista & Public Pool AU

The Name Game - A SuperCorp Coffee Shop AU by DKGwrites: The Coffee Shop AU

C) Other Job AUs

Supercorp AU Fic Recs Part 4 - Different Realities: Actors, Baristas and Other No Powers AUs [this post] [tumblr] [WordP]

Notes:

Originally this was planned to be the last AU recs part, but there might by one more. This collection took me a while to compile and I concluded it in July 2019 (between the end of the shows 4th and before the 5th season), but most stories were written and finished long before that.

This post might be a bit long for tumblr and with the links above you can also the complete series on my blog.

A) Actor and Model AUs

The actor AUs of course share a few similarities (and I loved them all) but they all are quite distinct and different enough to include all of them here.

One aspect in which they are clearly different is in the amount of angst: Most of them are not to not particular angsty, but No one mourns the wicked has a substantial amount of angst. It also carries over the strongest Lena tries to redeem for the sins of her family vibes from the show, although this is also present in we're playing to a full house, darling.

1) The wickedly angsty musical AU

No one mourns the wicked by kellsbells

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp) (f/f)

Completed, 16 chapter, 69k words, 2017-2018

Mature

Lena Luthor has just reluctantly returned to her role as Elphaba after a messy break up with her co-star. Her new co-star is a young, enthusiastic and incredibly talented performer who initially drives Lena crazy in the worst way. In time it becomes clear that they have a less-than-ideal history, along with a chemistry that neither can fight. Can they make it together despite the history between them?

This actors AU that takes place behind the scenes of a Wicked musical production. You don't need to know anything about musicals or the particular musical that is featured in this fic (I did neither) to enjoy the story, the story explains everything you need to know (and not more). This is a no powers AU, but the author manages to construct a background that creates a very similar tension between Kara’s and Lena’s families (and where Kara is coming from) as the Super vs Luthor dynamic in canon.

While this is clearly a Kara / Lena story, this is not the only relationship we come across in the story. There is background Sanvers (pretty usual in SuperCorp fics) and there are more past and present ships that are discussed and/or shown: we have Kara / James and a hint of SuperCat (actually Kara crushing on Cat) and several reverences to one of Lena's previous relationship. I loved that Cat was Kara’s mentor and how the story dealt with Kara’s crush on her.

This is a novel length story with a long story arc with ups and downs: while most fanfics have a relatively linear romance progression towards a happy ending, this one has a more complex plot that features a pretty substantial crisis in their relationship (that I don't want to spoil).

This is a brilliant, very well written story. A long story that was very well paced and never felt too long. Absolutely loved it. One of my favorites.

Favorite Quote

You need your pills, am I right?”

Lena looked startled, but nodded. ...

“How did you know?”

Kara touched Lena’s forehead gently, right between her eyes.

“You get a tiny line here when you’re especially tired or in pain,” she said, stroking Lena’s forehead slightly with her thumb automatically. She swore internally when she realised what she’d done.

Lena took a breath, one that hitched just a little, and Kara took her hand back.

“You always knew me best,” Lena said, turning away.

I thought I did.

2) The actors AU in which Kara is an actress that used to play Supergirl

we're playing to a full house, darling (but this show can't go on) by The_Ominous_Owl ; @the-ominous-owl

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp) (f/f)

Completed, 9 chapter, 37k words, 2017

AU, actors, fandom, consAU, actors, fandom, cons

Kara’s struggling to find work. Lena’s struggling to find herself. When fate (with some help from Cat Grant) casts them into the same orbit they find themselves completely off-script, because while everyone knows about the sins of the father, they're somewhat less clear about the sins of one’s siblings. Throw into that an audience hungry for stories at the expense of fact, a showrunner with a plan nobody saw coming, and a co-star who steadfastly refuses to keep it in his pants, and you’ve got a tale so dramatic even the protagonists have noticed. or the one where they’re both actresses with a surprising amount of baggage for two people who haven’t met yet.

Kara Danvers is an actress who played Supergirl in a series of movies until her boss Lex Luthor ruined the movie series, the whole studio and it seems Kara's whole career with it. Set behind the scenes of a successful crime mystery show, at the core of this story is a love triangle. While Mon-El/Mike, Kara and Lena love triangles are not that unusual in Supergirl fic, this story turns it on its head as Lena and Mike are a coupe at the start of the story (or are they?).

Usually I don't like love triangle all that much, but I enjoyed it in this story - I guess because it was written well, was less of a traditional triangle, and ultimately nobody I cared about got hurt. (emphasis on nobody I cared).

While there is drama and angst, it is pretty benign compare to No one mourns the wicked. I really enjoyed the look at fandom, especially when the cast of the crew went to a con. This is a wonderful and well written story that I loved.

Favorite Quote

“What?” Alex looked up at her, distracted, then waved a hand. “Your thing’s easy. Lena’s in love with you but she’s convinced herself that she doesn’t deserve you because her family looks like a Bond Villains Anonymous meeting and she thinks you’ll never reciprocate,” she explained, glaring back down at her phone and oblivious to the way Kara was staring at her with wide eyes, her mouth opening and closing soundlessly. “My thing is that Lucy is being a stubborn, infuriating pain in the—what?” she asked, finally looking up to notice her sister’s poleaxed expression.

It took several seconds for Kara to force words up through her throat. “Lena doesn’t…She’s not…”

Alex smiled sadly at her, leaning over to rescue her ice-cream before it slipped from her slackened grip. “Kara, I love you, but there is a reason I am a cop and you are an actress. Trust me, Captain Oblivious, Lena’s been completely gone on you for months, ...

3) The nonlinear actors rom-com

blockbuster (it's the movie au ok) by unnecessary_databass ; @unnecessary-database

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp) (f/f)

Completed, 30 chapter, 90k words, 2018-2019

Kara Danvers and Lena Luthor are the stars of a groundbreaking new lesbian blockbuster. It's the film that makes you cry, wins all the awards, and defeats all the stereotypes. And the chemistry between the stars in real life is insane. Everyone says so. Except for them. Mhm.

it's the freaking movie au all in one place wouldya look at that

This is an oblivious idiots in love rom-com. Unusual for fanfic it is a non-linear fic, in fact it jumps around quite a bit in the timeline and it is done very well.

This well written fic started out as a serial fic on tumble.

Favorite Quote

“I still don’t understand what’s so funny about my abs,” Kara said petulantly, jerking her hips so Lena rolled off her.

“Because you eat like a starving five year old at a birthday party whose parents never let them have sugar,” Lena said, waving aside the information like it wasn’t important.

4) The Kara/Lena and Alex/Lucy model/singer AU

maybe we were made to dance around each other, babe by goon

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp), Alex Danvers/Lucy Lane (Director Danvers) (f/f)

Completed, 4 chapter, 21k words, 2017

The next day, Kara's phone almost overheats from the sheer number of text messages she receives. Most of them are from her publicist, insisting she call them. Some are from Eliza and Alex and the other angels, others from people she hasn't spoken to in three years and one from Lucy just reads, hahahahahahahahahahahaha with a thumbs up emoji.

The close to crack AU where Kara and Lucy are models, Lena is a popstar and Alex is like wtf (basically the Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift AU)

Unusual for fan fic there is not a main and a background pair, but two equal main relationships: Kara/Lena (SuperCorp) and Alex/Lucy (Director Danvers).

Each of the four chapters in told from one of the four protagonists point of view. One from Kara, one from Lucy, one from Lena and one from Alex. And this works amazingly well.

This is a pretty angst free story especially for Kara and Lena. There is a bit of angst for Lucy as without wanting to, she is falling in love with Alex, while doubting that Alex really does want a relationship.

Pretty lighthearted. An excellent and well written fic, that I enjoyed.

Favorite Quote

"I'm on a massive billboard in front of your apartment!"

Lena gives her a puzzled look, eyebrows drawn together. "My band is on the massive billboard next to your massive billboard in front of my apartment, and we're also on the cover of Rolling Stone this month."

Kara winces. "Cool, so I'm just blind and deaf then." Lena grins at her knowingly, probably because she's too nice just to say yeah, you are, or maybe because this method is extra smug. She opens her mouth to say something else, but Lucy stumbles back into the fold, cheeks flushed and glowing.

B) Coffee Shop AUs

1) The Barista & Public Pool AU

Dripping Onto You by spymaster ; @spymasters-blog

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp) (f/f)

Completed, 4 chapter, 23k words, 2017

Meaningless sex to lovers

Kara went to relax at the pool where she met with Lena and they fucked in the shower room

In this no powers AU Kara is a barista. The story, however, does mostly takes place outside a coffeeshop. Lena and Kara meet at a pool. They have sex. Lena never intended for this to mean anything, but things turn out differently.

This medium length story has a satisfying story arc but ends long before a full novel plot. I enjoyed it.

2) Coffee Shop/Barista AUs

The Name Game - A SuperCorp Coffee Shop AU by DKGwrites

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp) (f/f)

Completed, 1 chapter, 11k words, 2017

Kara Danvers, an art student in National City, works part-time at her local coffee shop. Every morning while she works there a mysterious woman shows up and orders a cup of coffee but always with a different alias. At her sisters coaxing, will Kara finally get up the nerve to ask this mystery woman her real name? When she does what will happen next, and will fate rear its ugly head?

This is a wonderful, sweet and funny no powers rom-com. I loved the Sanvers & Kara interaction. Alex and Maggie tease her mercilessly but they support Kara lovingly.

Favorite Quote

“Maybe you should ask her,” Alex suggested.

Kara sighed. “That would require talking to her, wouldn’t it?”

“That’s generally part of the whole dating process,” Alex replied.

“Argh.” Turning and falling onto the couch, Kara flopped back. “Not my strong point. Can’t I just be pathetic and long for her?”

C) Other Job AUs

1) The Ice Skating AU

these feelings i can't fight by Jazzfordshire ; @jazzfordshire

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp) (f/f)

Completed, 3 chapter, 28k words, 2018

Mature

Kara only gets better with each practice session, and slowly Lena comes to accept two things. One, Kara is an infinitely better fit as a partner than James ever was; and two, she’s hopelessly attracted to her. OR

When James gets injured, Lena needs a new ice dancing partner if she wants a chance to qualify for the Olympics. Kara Danvers offers her services, and Lena is thrown headfirst into a gay panic.

I watched a little bit of figure skating when I was younger, but I don’t have a clue about it - and this does not matter at all to enjoy this story.

Why is this such so brilliant, perfect AU?

Everything is different, but the core dynamic and characters are intact. In fact, Kara and Lena are spot on. And so are all supporting characters: Alex, Sam, James, J'onn, even Winn have roles that are true to their characters and fit nicely into this world.

The love story is powerful and beautiful. There is a perfect setup and just the right backstory to create a brilliant but troubled and lonely Lena. The right amount of tension with her mother. The perfectly balanced obstacles to create the Romeo and Juliet dynamic that is in the heart of so many Supercorp love stories in a universe without Supergirl/superpowers.

And finally, there is a perfect balance of romance and angst that makes the conclusion even sweeter.

This is a brilliant and very well written fic that I adore. Jazzfordshire is a fantastic author and I think this story is a masterpiece.

Favorite Quote

There are a hundred little things she misses about Lena. She misses her scrunchy smile and the high, surprisingly girly sound of her laugh, which she always tries to hide with a hand over her face. The prominent beauty mark in the middle of her throat, the one that practically calls out for Kara to kiss it. She misses the way she runs her teeth gently over the edges of her fingertips when she’s nervous without biting down, as if she’s trained herself to stop chewing her nails but finds the memory of it comforting. How she somehow manages to always smell good, even after four straight hours of exercise.

2) The Cuddler Fic

hold me, my dear (and don't let go) by potstickermaster

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp) (f/f)

Completed, 17 chapters, 119k words, 2017-2019

Service provider/client to friends to lovers

“So… How is this done?” She asks seriously, to which she replies, quite simply, “We get on the bed and we cuddle." Lena Luthor is the last person to admit she's touch-starved, but after one hour of service from Kara Danvers, professional cuddler, she finds herself craving it.

Apart from no powers this AU is relatively close to canon: Lena is the CEO of L-Corp and Kara is a professional cuddler (and in her day job she is a junior reporter at CatCo).

This is Lena centric fic, told purely from her POV. It covers a range of popular and important SuperCorp themes:

Kara has a cute pet (her puppy Krypto). Lena's difficult relationship with her mother Lilian (who is not evil in this fic) and their work to salvaging their relationship. Glimpses of a past Lena/Jack relationship. Lena as CEO and scientist. Her loneliness.

Lena has exactly one (1) sassy friend, and in this story it is Veronica. While she only has a small part and is crass and a bit of an asshole, I loved Veronica and her friendship with Lena. And especially her comment in the quite intense sparring scene: “Please don’t fuck on my ring …”

We see Lena slowly falling in Love with Kara, at first without realizing it. And her uncertainties and fears.

This wonderful and beautifully written fic is one of my favorite stories.

Favorite Quote

Lena chuckles again. “... but I didn't expect you , is all.” She gestures for Kara to sit down. The blonde doesn't take the offer though, only continues to speak.

“Ah, right. Ta-dah,” the blonde makes jazz hands. “My day job—junior reporter at CatCo. Can I just say that it’s really nice to see you outside the bedroom?”

She laughs, then halts completely and she frowns. “Okay, that- that sounds wrong. I just mean it’s good to—” She flails her hands and laughs again, the sound strained this time. “It’s good to see you, is all." Lena is unable to hold back an amused smirk as she replies.

It isn’t odd why meeting someone new makes her nervous. It’s not the first time she felt such trepidation either. She has grown hesitant meeting anyone that isn’t with the facade of business; she hasn’t done so for a long time. Kara had been different—she had been introduced to Lena’s life at the pretense of some service, and the offer of friendship had been after the fact. The idea of meeting someone, Kara’s sister no less, is something that she thinks she can handle, hypothetically, but it doesn’t mean she wanted to do it.

D) Fluffy/Happy No Powers AUs

1) The fake dating AU in which Lena rescues Kara from Mike

As luck would have it by spacemanearthgirl ; @spaceman-earthgirl

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp) (f/f)

Completed, 7 chapter, 30k words, 2017

Who knew that bumping into a stranger in a bar could turn into this? Or Kara meets Lena at a bar then Lena pretends to be her girlfriend to get rid of Mike.

This no powers AU is pretty close to canon: Lena is the CEO of L-Corp, Kara is a reporter. Technically this is a fake dating AU, but only the first chapter: although they just met in the bar for the first time, Lena helps Kara to get rid of Mike/Mon-el by pretending to be Kara's girlfriend.

No drama, no action, no angst. Just romance and fluff. I really loved their first date. A wonderful and very well written story.

2) The sweet AU in which the Luthors are not evil

Jar of Happiness by Cloud_Lightning

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp) (f/f)

Completed, 1 chapter, 6k words, 2016

No powers, Luthers are not evil AU

It was just a joke from Lex when he told his sister that maybe she really should start to put a dollar in a jar every time people told or ask her whether she and Kara were in a relationship. Plus Lillian really wanted to win the betting pool. Lionel promised to not make another bet. And Lena just wanted to fill the jar with a piece of paper containing the details of her happiness.

Kara and Lena become best friends and Lena is afraid to ask Kara if she too feels more than friendship for her. The jar of happiness is a nice idea and done well.

This is a cute and sweet story that I enjoyed.

3) The College AU in which Kara is a French exchange student

Of Charcoal Lines and Accents by IHaveTheWrongGlass

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp) (f/f)

Completed, 1 chapter, 32k words, 2018

Explicit

Introvert animation student Lena is left to take care of the the new French exchange student. Abandoned by her family who've decided to go on holiday, how will Lena survive trying to take care of a flirty, bubbily blonde?

It's only 6 months, what could go wrong?

In most SuperCorp AUs in this collection some core aspects of Kara's and Lena's life stay unchanged or are only slightly changed: Kara being a reporter, having lost her parents as a teenager or suffered a big tragedy in her childhood; Lana being rich / a CEO, has a problematic relationship with her family, her brother committed crimes. This story, however, has more differences different, it actually reminds me a bit of Korrasami (modern day) AUs that I have read.

Lena's family is not evil but absent for most of the fic. As a college student without a tragic upbringing, Lena feels very close to her character in the show. Kara is enthusiastic, likable and a bit strange, her backstory however is very far away from Canon and she is much flirtier than on the show. As the story is told exclusively from Lena's POV we don't get to know French!Kara that well.

I liked this light and angst free story.

Favorite Quote

Kara, in all her smug Frenchness, looked Lena right in the eyes as she paid for not only a bullet vibrator but also a small dildo. It only got worse because Lena was under the impression that both were for Kara, but oh how wrong she was. Nup. Because as soon as Kara paid for it, she linked their arms and pulled Lena out of the shop. It was only once they were walking down the path that Kara, in her fucking beautiful accent, bent to whisper in a bright red ear.

“I bought the phallus for you, mon chéri. It’ll help with the stress.”

4) The College AU in which Lena models for Kara’s art class

I'll be your muse by heryellowcup

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp) (f/f)

Completed, 1 chapter, 13k words, 2018

She’s sitting on a simple chair, stark naked, and Kara forgets how to breathe, just for a second. Maybe more than that, perhaps a few too many. She vaguely remembers their prof telling them about a model, but he has clearly left out some very important details. Like the fact that she’s an act model, or the fact that she’s incredibly stunning in a way that makes Kara’s heart stop momentarily, then speed up immensely right after.

Or, Kara is an art student in College/University and Lena is the stunning act model she immediately falls for

There is not that much story above what is stated in the author's blurb. Told exclusively from Kara's point of view, this story very much focuses on the here and now: Kara is completely fascinated by Lena and starts crushing on her as soon as she sees her for the first time.

I loved how Kara is flustered constantly and gets teased mercilessly by her sister Alex and her best friend Sam.

Funny, fluffy, sweet, no angst: this is a beautifully and well written story that I enjoyed a lot.

Favorite Quote

If there’s one thing Kara can’t deal with, it’s compliments. Another one being pretty women, meaning that she’s literally turned into a puddle of incomprehensible stuttering at this point, unable to find the words she’s looking for, unable to act like a normal human being around Lena. She’s almost surprised Lena’s still there with her, still talking to her.

5) The one in which Kara and Lena are neighbors

What if I asked you to stay? by heryellowcup

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (Supercorp) (f/f)

Completed, 1 chapter, 17k words, 2019

Mature

Neighbors to friends to lovers

She forces the words out of her mouth before she can think of the certain humiliation that will come with her question. They don’t know each other, the encounters they’ve assembled together are countable on two hands, the times they’ve actually talked to each other on one. It’s foolish to even entertain the thought, foolish to think of Mike’s priceless face when he hears about this, hears about Kara saying yes - because she most certainly won’t.

“You could stay with me, if you wanted to.”

Or, Lena invites her charming neighbour (that she totally does not have a crush on), Kara, to live with her while her apartment's being fixed. Lots of mutual pining and some smut ensues, but it's mostly just them being adorable.

This novella length no powers AU is told from Lena's POV (nice character study).

There is no substantial amount of angst. The story is funny, romantic and very well written. I loved it.

Favorite Quote

Leaning back against the wall, Mike looks at Lena and embarrasses her further. “The infamous U-Haul, huh?”

Lena feels her cheeks turn red and her heart speed up while Kara reduces her own reaction to nothing but furrowed eyebrows. She notes how flustered Lena is, she has to, but in the end all she does is tilt her head and regard Mike with a curious look. “What?”

The way Lena’s stomach sinks is more humiliating than the situation itself. The joke is lost on Kara, which can only mean that clearly she is not gay.
