Summary
Lena is laughing softly at her, and Kara can feel the buzz of it where Lena’s back presses into her thighs. She huffs, irritated. “You want spontaneous? Fine.” She reaches down to Lena’s hand, currently maneuvering her controller, and slips the ring off her thumb. “Here.”
Lena cranes her neck away from the TV to stare up at Kara, thumbs stalling on the buttons. “Hey, that’s my—what are you doing?”
Kara presents the ring before her. “Lena Luthor,” she starts. “You’ve been the love of my life for almost as long as I can remember and my best friend for even longer. And I would be… beyond happy to spend every moment of the rest of our lives together. Marry me?”
.
or, five times Kara proposes to Lena at game night, and one time they get engaged

Summary
“What if… what if we went on a road trip?” Kara says, when the drowning feeling has started to fade. “We could take a couple weeks off and just… get out of the city for a bit. How would that be?”
Lena looks up from the safety of Kara’s shoulder. “We?”
.
With L-Corp in chaos and Lena on the verge of a mental breakdown, Kara proposes an escape: a road trip up the West Coast. The only problem? It's just the two of them and a car on the road for two weeks, and it's getting increasingly difficult for Lena to deny the fact that she's maybe, slightly, desperately in love with her best friend.

Summary
In the darkest hour of the night, Kara is pulled from the depths of sleep by a melody.
The tune is familiar; it scratches some long-forgotten spot at the back of her brain, like a memory that she can’t quite assign shape or meaning to. It’s simple and soft, sweet and melancholy, seeping warmth into all the empty spaces of her body. She blinks at the ceiling, trying to pull together the fragments of memory that float to the surface at the sound. Fingers, smoothing back hair from her forehead. Lips, brushing against her cheek. Hazy purple nights, stars scattered across the sky in familiar formations.
.
After Kara has revealed her identity to the world, combining Kara Danvers and Supergirl into one, bits of Krypton start to come back to her. This one in particular comes back in the form of a song her mother used to sing to her - a lullaby.
(or, Kara has a lot of trauma that was never properly explored and i believe sometimes she just deserves to be held very tenderly by someone and given many forehead kisses)

Summary
Lena hates the theatre.
Okay, maybe hate is a strong word, but honestly, it’s accurate. She’s hated theatre for nearly as long as she can remember, her distaste lasting from childhood and through her adolescence and sticking stubbornly all the way to adulthood. She hates plays and opera and symphonies and musical theatre, and she hates having to sit in one place for hours at a time, and she hates how unproductive the whole ordeal is, how it means she has to waste precious time she could be spending in the lab watching people play public make-believe.
Theatre is annoying. A waste of time. Everyone who knows anything about her knows how much she hates it.
Which is why she would currently rather be anywhere in the world than here, at the Royal National City Theatre’s latest production of whatever the fuck.
.
In which Kara is a Shakespeare actor (and also Supergirl), and Lena can’t stop going to see the same production of Twelfth Night over and over because the actor who plays Viola is hot.

you light my morning sky (with burning love) by MikeRowave, thebluewritingbench

Summary
There’s a fucking rose on the back of Lena’s neck.
The lighting in the tower bathroom is harsh, sure, and unflattering, yes, but the good thing about the fluorescent glare is that it provides decent enough illumination for any number of activities: patching up wounds, reading in relative silence, and, of course, investigating mysterious burning tattoos on the back of one’s neck.
And Lena is sure—certain, in fact—that the mark sitting right below her hairline, taunting pink against the paleness of her skin, is a rose, in the exact same swirling pattern as the love totem.
So that’s not ideal, really.
.
The love totem is destroyed, but its essence lives on. And that essence seems to have found a new home—the back of Lena's neck. Luckily, she has Kara to help her figure out who she's in love with. Kara, who seems prepared to guess that the subject of Lena's affection is just about anyone but herself.

Summary
"Lena," Kara asks, "what are you to me?"
Lena's heartbeat stutters. "You—you said there was no memory loss," she stammers. "Kara, what—what happened?"
"I absorbed my sun," Kara tells her calmly. "I became a God."
(In which Kara becomes a deity of protection, and it complicates things just a little. Featuring: a determined big sister, an endlessly supportive love interest, and some dad advice.)

Summary
“Please,” Lena says, shrugging her shoulders. “You know you’re my favourite. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You’re my favourite. You’re acting like this is brand new information.”
And that's—
Wow. To hear Lena say this, to know that this still holds true even after everything that has happened… Kara flushes. She fiddles with her belt, exhales softly.
or Lena is a terrible enabler. Kara wants anything and everything Lena will give her, and underneath the weight of such gentle, earnest warmth, it keeps escaping Kara why that is dangerous.

Summary
Lena is a certified genius, with three degrees, a PhD, and a fortune 500 company to run. She’s smart, and she’s not ashamed to admit it.
There are things she is ashamed to admit though. Things she wishes she didn’t know, that threaten to disrupt the more or less comfortable life she has worked so hard to build for herself.
She has an amazing career, a beautiful home, a few good friends, and a loving boyfriend who has his own life and doesn’t bother her too much with things she could care less about.
Lena has everything a girl could ask for, but sometimes it feels like someone else’s life she’s living.

Summary
Kara is all sunshine and hope. She believes in Lena so much that sometimes she doesn’t know what to do with all that faith. So she tucks it away quietly inside her heart, letting it bloom there like the light in Kara’s eyes when she finally agrees to attend game night.
“Yes!” Kara wraps her up in a tight hug, and Lena lets herself sink into deceptively strong arms and the smell of CatCo coffee. She presses her palms against Kara’s shoulder blades and they stand there together for a moment, Kara rocking them happily from side to side.
It’s a novelty move for a Luthor, letting someone in.
