there's a human in the storeroom
THIS POST got extremely long with five posts, so we're gonna just keep going in a new one. (read that first to get caught up!)
--
Kara clears her throat for the umpteenth time, it feels like. But it gets their attention, so she gives them her best smile before trying to offer back the satchet of what looks like regular nuts and berries. She wasn't sure what it said about her that they gave her another bag of food. But, at this point, what's the harm? After popping the final berry in her hand and licking a little bit of fruit juice from her palm, she stands and wipes her hand on the side of her chinos. She then takes a step forward and brings the satchet towards the beautiful woman to return it.
"Thanks. They were good."
"Remarkable," the beautiful woman says. "You just ate all of it?"
"I...yes. Sorry."
The group stares at the empty satchet and then back up at her again. She tries not to squirm under their judgy eyes.
"Um," she starts to say. "This was really nice and you guys have some really tasty food, but I should probably get going. I've got work tomorrow, so I don't want to get home too late."
"You can't leave," the beautiful woman says.
"Is this about the food? I can pay! I'm good for it. Let me just--" she tries to palm for her wallet in her back pocket but realizes that her wallet is no longer there. She pats her front pockets, but there's nothing in those, either. Kara quickly scans the room and finds that her messenger bag, phone, and wallet were nowhere to be found. She shakes her head and tries to focus on what she was trying to say. "Have any of you seen my stuff? My phone?"
"What's that?" the mean looking lady asks as she walks towards the crates to move some of them around.
She stops mid-search, wonders if these...Europeans? just weren't familiar with technology. She tries not to judge, of course. Instead, she clears her throat again. "Oh, a phone? Well, uh, it's a thing that you use to make calls."
"You can't leave," the beautiful woman repeats, her face now looking somewhat more alarmed than she was a second ago.
"You keep saying that, but I really should get going."
All four of them yell NO! at her and she freezes in place.
The four grown adults talk in hissed whispers to one another lost in whatever European argument they're having. The teenager, grinning all the while, walks towards her. Kara stands her ground because she's not a wuss and this is just a teenage girl. But, like, she's not not a wuss.
"Hello," says the girl.
"Um, hello."
"You...are...n-..hmm..." the girl pauses, chewing on her bottom lip, then her eyes perk up when she finds her word. "...trouble?"
Kara's brows jump to her hairline and she shakes her head. "I don't...I don't mean to be. I'm really sorry. I was just trying to get some work done and--"
The girl seems convinced at the words she's saying as she points at Kara. "You...trouble!"
"No, hey--maybe don't say that. I'm totally not trouble. I'm a good person. I'm just trying to go home."
"You, trouble."
She stares at the girl and wonders if the girl thinks her name is trouble? Which, pffft, is not even remotely true. But she bets Alex would agree. She shakes her head and points at herself. "No, my name is Kara."
Just then, the four grown adults in their angry European huddle all rush towards her, the last image she sees is the beautiful woman grabbing hold of her and screaming in a language Kara doesn't understand just as she loses consciousness.

there’s a human in the storeroom
i saw this this morning and @sssammich made me write it.
There’s a human in the storeroom.
Andrea is never going to shut up about the wards now, Lena thinks, peering at the blonde rummaging through the box of faerie fruit.
There had been a noise, and no one else had heard it - on account of the revelry; with Lillian away at the High Court and Lex in charge there was always a revelry - and Lena had made the stupid mistake of diligently checking the storeroom to see if she needed to call one of the pixies to evict an errant animal, because last time a hedgehog drunk on faerie fruit had eaten one of her favourite books.
Except it’s not a hedgehog, it’s a human, and a human is so much worse than a hedgehog.
Perhaps, Lena thinks, if she just pretends she never saw anything, the human will find their way out of the storeroom and back to the human world, and then it won’t be her problem.
Satisfied with this course of action, Lena turns to leave and runs straight into a much taller and equally annoying roadblock.
“Jack,” Lena hedges. “Why are you here?”
“Lex sent me to look for you since you weren’t at the revelry,” Jack says affably, peering over Lena’s head with interest. “Is that a human in the storeroom?And are they eating the faerie fruit?”
Lena groans.
*****
“She ate the faerie fruit, Lena, you can’t just - ”
Sam makes a wild gesture of frustration.
Andrea prods the prone human - still, to Lena’s dismay, in the storeroom, and now snoring gently - with her foot, an expression of distaste marring her pretty features.
“Lena. Why are you feeding random humans? Is it clean? Does it have fleas?”
“Don’t kick the human, Andy, look how cute it - she? Is it a she? Oh Lena, look at her ears, they’re round, come see - ”
“Jack, stop petting the human, sometimes they bite - ”
“I didn’t feed her, I just heard a noise! She must have broken into the pantry somehow - ”
“I told you the wards weren’t strong enough on the grounds,” Andrea sniffs.
“Look how much she’s eaten! You can’t send her back, Lena, she’ll wander aimlessly in the woods until her shoes are worn and her feet bleed, she might die,” Jack wheedles.
Lena looks to Sam in dismay, just as a younger fae comes crashing into the hallway.
“Ruby,” Sam says severely. “You should be asleep.”
“Is that a human?” Ruby says with interest. “Can we keep her?”

“You sought help when you needed to. That’s not uselessness. Pride is the path to a fool’s end,” Talanah says with conviction Aloy knows comes from experience. “You’re not alone. This is loyalty. Trust like this reaches beyond the hunt.” Her voice drops and Aloy feels the change in her own chest. The gaze they share is captivating, devouring. “You are Aloy despite the Nora. But you don’t have to be Aloy despite Everyone. Now, sit up so I can bind this wound already.”
GLEEFULLY shaing another lil’ Aloy/Talanah doodle by the amazing @/twisted.orchid on IG, inspired by my fic “rest like you belong here”! The whole plot of it in a nutshell, truly lmao 🥹💕💕 I'm so humbled and obsessed!!!!
please please please support the artist on instagram and ko-fi!

Do you have any supercorp fic recs? The ones that you like the most or re-read 🧐👌 greetings dear mutual
Hello beloved moot of mine! This ask has haunted me all day (in a good way!) and I have gone insane (also in a good way!) trying to compile my favorite fics countless times. But then, looking over those fics leads me to other fics, and those other fics make me think of half-remembered fics, and before I knew it, I was tearing my hair out because I just KNOW I read a story about Lena being transformed into a cat AND a different story (but I think it was by the same author??? Maybe???) where Kara is a dog and Lena doesn't know it's Kara but she takes care of her, but I can't FIND either of them... and... 😫🤯
Apologies for my previous outburst... 😬... and for taking literally all day to respond to this ask. I've decided to list some of my favorite fic authors and highlight a few of my favorite stories of theirs. This is by no means all of my faves, but just what I could think of off the top of the ol' head. If I forgot someone: I'm sorry! 😭 But basically anything by these authors should be beefsidered (beefcake considered) "beefcake-penguin-certified-bangers 💪🏼🐧"™
First, let's start with : @karalovesallthegirls. I adore her sugar baby Kara au and I will ALWAYS recommend the legendary mime au to anyone who asks. Jill's humor is fantastic and I love her characterization of not only Kara (goofy, good-natured, kind-hearted and earnest to her absolute core) and Lena (soft! sad! in need of a hug! repressed!) but also the supporting cast, especially Alex. And also... starting, I think, with her time-loop fic, Jill began writing more genuinely suspenseful and tense elements in her stories, culminating with in the shadow of that green light, which is basically a straight-up psychological horror story with a SuperCorp twist and I just adore that! I'm a big fan of horror and suspense and Jill writes it really well. There's even a scene in the last chapter of the "sugar baby Kara" fic that was just oozing with tension! If the spooky stuff ain't your speed, though, these two drunk!Kara and drunk!Lena stories are also fantastic and fun little one-shots
Next, I have to scream about the legendary @littlemousejelly! From stabby fic to bath snacks fic, to the not a kissing booth fic, and especially the hysterical literature fic, miss mousejelly's stories always make me laugh with her clever turns of phrase (I think the term "that really dills her pickles" was in one of her stories and it has forever been added to my personal lexicon) and heart-melting affection between our two beloved dorks. And if I could, perhaps, sway you to partake in my "SuperReignCorp"-agenda, the SCU (Spitroast-Cinematic-Universe) - which started with this masterpiece, but has since evolved into several other one-offs and ficlets that you can find here on her tumblr - is my very favorite of her writings
@jazzfordshire likely needs no introduction. If you love SuperCorp fics, chances are you've read at least one of her stories. Titanic AU and its follow-up are classics, of course, and the 70s AU is amazing, too, but my absolute favorite story of hers starts off as really only technically a SuperCorp story, with very little involvement from Kara and Lena until the two follow up stories. For an idea that just sounds like pure crack, the Red Daughter/Morgana story "even the distance feels so near" is... just perfect. An incredibly riveting and emotional character study that gives both of these characters the soft epilogue that they each deserved (and, don't worry, El and Morgana return to the present day to torment Kara and Lena in part 2 and part 3 with their rampantly horny magical shenanigans).
You know how sometimes you see a fic come out from that one person and think: "Ah, yes. This will shatter me emotionally into a million pieces and then tenderly and lovingly build me back up again. Perfect."? Well, that's my experience with @searidings stories. They are SO cathartic and written so enjoyably. You will often find yourself going from laughing your head off to bawling your eyes out within the same chapter (sometimes within the same paragraph!) This story and this one both give Red Daughter the respect her character deserved (and never got in canon) and this story basically fixes the final episodes of season 6 into something that canon could never hope to be: a good and satisfying story. And, of course, I can't mention tumblr user searidings without paying respect to the "Baby, why?"-fic. Also this story is what I read whenever I desperately need to smile. It is so fun.
Speaking of fantastic fic writers whose names begin with "sea-", @seabiscuits-us has written some truly phenomenal stuff like Frontier AU, Kara-spies-some-of-Lena's-nudes AU, and Spit-Baby AU! These are all beeftified (beefcake certified) bangers and this one is a personal favorite that asks the age-old question: "What if a lab accident gave Kara a hornier and more brazen twin? 🤔"
Next writer on my list is @coffeeshib. Bed-sharing AU, "fake/pretend sex in their dorm room" fic, post-reveal one-shot epic, you really can't go wrong with any of her stories. They have fluff, they have angst, they have tenderness, and they have catharsis. Coffeeshib is a truly talented writer whose stories I always really enjoy.
@narraboths also has many fics on ao3 that are all wonderful to read! My personal favorite is this story that puts a fun spin on Kara "'journalistic ethics'? what's that?" Danvers and her favorite subject to interview: Lena Luthor (whom she may or may not be smoochin' on the side) through the lens of that evergreen SuperCorp period of season 2. This story - which was featured in one of the SuperCorp zines - is about Lena learning kryptonian and it's beautifully heart-warming.
Finally! Just wanted to add Where Lamps Go To Die by WastedOn. Listen... this fic seems silly. Hell, it IS silly throughout. And it's fun and entertaining. But... BUT!!! It's also one of the most heart-wrenching fics I've ever read. This story hits at such an often-overlooked aspect to the Kara-Lena-Supergirl triangle and secret and unrevealed truths of the different relationships Lena has with "both people" and how the actions of one might effect her view of the other and how that might complicate Kara's own feelings and how THAT... listen, I could write an essay on this fic. I adore it. It fuckin' slaps. It claps cheeks. It's absolutely spectacular.
I'm sorry this was so long! These really aren't even half of all the fics I initially came up with, but these writers are amazing and you will definitely find something that scratches the SuperCorp itch somewhere in one of the stories I mentioned, or in other stories by these authors! After you give them a read, be sure to leave a comment on the story! I'm sure they would love it!
💪🏼🐧

I um wanted to write this so I hope you like?
Over the years Lena has seen many sides of Kara. The way she smiles, how she eats, her jokes that aren't so much as funny as the way she presents them. Lena has grown to love every single side, even the ones as she doubled as the super.
They had decided to try dating a while ago and it had been her best decision yet. They moved in together, a cozy apartment close to both their offices and it was time for their biweekly game night.
Kara was in charge of snacks and Lena in charge of drinks. It was their time to host and it always went over well. Fun times, great laughs, and utter domination at charades. A tradition Lena loved more and more each time.
Kara was hopelessly drunk by the end of the night and when she was drunk, she was always extra cuddly. Lena has to pry herself out of her arms just to see the others out.
When she returned to a bubbly very drunk Kara, she kissed her gently before tugging her off to bed. She tucked her in with another kiss before going to clean up.
When she finished and snuck back into the bedroom, she saw another side of Kara she rarely ever saw.
She was floating with a blanket halfway wrapped around her, both legs hanging as well as an arm. She looked completely limp, suspended by some unseeable force. As she came to pull her down getting, she heard the soft snoring, but before she grabbed her, Kara turned in her sleep and drifted upsidedown. Arms falling to the mattress as her feet dangling oddly as well.
Lena couldn't help the chuckle that came from her mouth as she gingerly grabbed the front of her shirt and pulled her down. She wrapped her arms around Kara with a kiss, anchoring her before she saw those hazy blue eyes open to her, "hmmm?" The super mumbled and Lena kissed her gently.
"You were floating..."
"Ooh..." She mumbled and eased back to the ground.
"Would you like me to cut the red sun lamps on?" She asked and Kara just studied her with a sleepy haze.
"....Float with me?" She mumbled softly and Lena blinked as her own feet left the floor, "It's much more fun floating with someone else."
Lena held on tightly as Kara's arms wrapped around her and held her close. She wasn't afraid by any means, but she knew this was no way to sleep. "Just for a bit." She whispered as Kara was already dozing.
"Mm...just a bit..."
it’s always cute when we show clark or kara floating in their sleep when they’re happy and safe, but it never made sense to me that they look like they’re still sleeping on a mattress. they should be relaxed. rag-dolled. flopped over. contorted and twisted like some horror from a terrible nightmare where their heads are lolled back and their limbs hanging and backs bowed. a frightful night terror demon hovering above you. gently snoring.
