The Sweater Curse
Tumblr media
Here's a little SuperCat fic as part of the Mods' collection of example fics for the Supergirl May-hem event!
AO3 Link!
-
Kara closes her eyes, letting the relaxing clicks of her knitting needles lull her into a state of pure relaxation, her muscle memory taking over so she doesn’t have to fight her droopy eyes.
She’s almost halfway through the sweater. A lovely blue that she’s sure Cat will love. She spent hours scouring the internet for a pattern befitting of the Queen of all Media. She spent longer looking for a pattern than she’s going to spend on the damn sweater. After all, she can’t make a sweater for Cat that Cat will call “so last year”. That would be a crime. At least, Cat would declare her a criminal. Though, if it means handcuffs— no.
Letting the rhythm continue until she reaches the end of her row, she looks down at the sweater and sighs before giving up on the slow pace she set. Cat will be home in an hour or so and she doesn’t want to gift her a half-made sweater.
Speeding up and using a moderate amount of her superspeed so she doesn’t accidentally rip her working yarn or the stitches, she speeds her way through it, finishing the front and back in no time and starting on the sleeves right away, already dreading the end where she has to stitch them all together. That’s always her least favourite part. Cat is worth it though.
If there’s one thing Cat loves talking about when they’re having a relaxing day at home, it’s the new pieces she’s managed to snag online or from fashion shows. She’s always hearing the descriptor ‘one-of-a-kind’ thrown around, so Kara figures that if she makes a sweater for Cat, it’ll definitely be a one-of-a-kind piece. She should love it.
Laying out all the pieces in front of her, she looks them over with a careful eye, searching for imperfections so she can fix them before she puts them all together. Upon deciding that it’s good enough for her girlfriend, who hates being called that because it “doesn’t sound like something you should be calling a woman of my age. I’m your partner”, Kara starts the process of finally stitching it together, hating every moment of it but enjoying the feeling of making something for Cat.
Finally, she holds it in her arms, finished and carefully looked over one last time for imperfections. There are none. She’s going to love it. She thinks about wrapping it too. Cat has always loved a gift, but her phone rings, breaking her out of her train of thought.
“Hey, Alex.”
“Hey, will you be free tomorrow for a movie night?”
“Yeah, why? Is something wrong?”
Alex snorts down the line. “Nothing has to be wrong to make me want to spend time with you, you know that.”
“Yeah, but usually you plan a week in advance, not the night before.”
“Ok, I might have eaten all the chips in my apartment and would rather raid yours than go and buy my own.”
Kara flops back on the couch, one way too expensive for flopping onto, and cradles the sweater to her chest. “So the truth comes out, huh? You don’t actually want to see me. You just want to use me for snacks.”
“Hey, I prefer you over the store. Doesn’t that tell you something?”
“Yeah, that you’re an ass.”
Alex cackles down the line, and Kara rolls her eyes, grateful that Alex can’t see her smile. “I’m making you watch a musical with me.”
“Anything but that.”
“Two musicals.”
Alex chuckles. “Whatever you want. Now, what are you doing? I’m bored and Sam doesn’t get home for another two hours. She and Lena are caught up at L-Corp.”
Kara hums. “Yeah, Lena texted me earlier to say that she’s got to cancel brunch on Saturday because of work. It sucks that things are so hectic over there. I’m just waiting for Cat to get home. I made her a sweater because she’s so obsessed with owning one-of-a-kind pieces. I think she’ll like it.”
“You knitted it?”
“Uh-huh. Just like Eliza showed me.”
“Oof.”
Kara frowns, her lips turning down in time with her furrowing brows, crinkle on full display. “What’s wrong?”
“You haven’t heard of the curse?”
That doesn’t help her confusion at all. “What in the actual hell are you talking about? Have you been drinking?”
“No, it’s a real thing a lot of knitters believe in. It’s why Mom never knit anything for Dad other than scarves. Apparently, if you hand-knit a sweater for your partner, it dooms your relationship.”
“Alex!” Kara sits up straight, her eyes wide and her fingers clawing at the material. “Why did you have to tell me that? I can’t give it to her now!”
For a moment, she thinks she can actually hear Alex’s eyes rolling back into her skull. “Don’t be a dummy. It’s just a superstition; she’ll probably love it.”
“Alex.” Kara whines. “I don’t think I can.”
“Don’t be a baby. If your relationship is strong, then a damn sweater won’t get in the way.”
“I hate you for telling me that.”
Alex snorts. “Love you too. I’ll text you tomorrow when I know what time I’ll be coming over.”
“You’re just going to leave me now?”
“Sure am. Later Kid.”
Kara goes to shout at her sister again, but upon looking at the phone, she sees that the call has ended. Alex can be a real ass sometimes.
Standing up, Kara holds the sweater between her hands forlornly. She stomps to the kitchen, her pink, bunny-shaped slippers slapping angrily into the tile. Her foot slams down onto the pedal of the trashcan just as the door opens, revealing Cat wandering in from the hallway outside the penthouse.
“Please tell me we have wine hidden somewhere. We can’t have finished the last one yesterday.”
“No, we have another bottle,” Kara says, quickly hiding the sweater behind her back and taking her foot off the pedal, wincing as the lid slams down with a crash.
Cat eyes her curiously, dropping her purse onto the nearest barstool beside the island before pulling out her phone. “What are you doing?”
“Nothing,” Kara answers quickly. Too quickly.
Cat stalks over to her, and despite being significantly shorter, Kara backs away from her, ending up in the living room. “What are you hiding?”
“Nothing.” Kara tries to double down.
“What were you doing with the trash?”
“Just…tossing some paper I didn’t need anymore.”
Cat folds her arms over her chest, her lips pressing into a thin line as a single eyebrow raises in challenge. “Do you think I’m a fool?”
“No?”
Cat’s glare intensifies.
“No. Definitely not.” Kara tries to sound more confident.
“What’s behind your back?”
Kara curses inwardly. Of course, it’s easy to see when someone is hiding something behind their back when both hands are holding it there.
“Show me.”
Kara shakes her head.
Cat sighs, unamused. “Kara, I’m not mad. Just show me what it is. If it’s a puppy, I’m going to be madder that you were about to hide it in a trash can than I am about you adopting it.”
Kara perks up at that. “I can get a puppy?”
Cat shakes her head quickly. “That’s not what I said at all.”
“I’m going to go to the shelter tomorrow.”
Running a hand over her brow tiredly, Cat sighs. “Just don’t bring back anything with fleas.”
“Yes!” Kara throws her hands in the air in triumph, noting her mistake immediately as the sweater dangles above her head. “Oh, snap.”
Now, Cat just looks befuddled. “Is that mine or yours?”
“Uh…”
“Why were you throwing it out?”
“Uh…”
“Kara.” Cat deadpans, striding over to her and taking it from her hands. “It looks brand new.”
Kara goes to take it back, but Cat just steps away from her and bats her hands away. “Where’s the tag?”
“There isn’t one.” Kara offers up nervously, her hands falling to her waist, wringing nervously. “I made it.”
“What?” Cat looks a little impressed, warming Kara’s heart, but she can’t let her have it.
“I was just tossing it out.”
Cat holds it to her chest, protecting it. “Why?”
“I was making it for you but I didn’t know about the curse. You can’t have it now.”
Cat’s shoulders sag, and she heads for the kitchen. “I need wine for this, I can already tell. Explain it to me.”
“Alex told me that there’s a curse that means that you can’t knit a sweater for your partner or else your relationship is doomed, so you can’t have it. I didn’t know when I made it.”
Cat throws the sweater over her shoulder. “Well, I’m not throwing it out. That’s a dumb curse and I’d like to see the statistics of relationship breakdown over mittens rather than sweaters.”
Kara looks nervous, sitting down on a stool, her knees bouncing rapidly. “What if it comes true?”
“Then we can tell everyone that our perfectly stable and loving relationship has ended over a sweater, not you adopting a puppy behind my back.”
“It won’t be behind your back now.” Kara points out.
“So we won’t break up. Now be a dear and find me that wine.” Cat pulls her glasses off her face and drops them onto the counter. “I just want to have dinner, a couple of glasses of wine and a bubble bath with my partner before trying on this very comfortable-looking sweater. Can we do that and agree that it’s just a terrible superstition?
Kara doesn’t look convinced. “I don’t know.”
“Kara, we always dump my shopping bags on the counter, and you’re not meant to put new shoes on the counter. Nothing bad has ever happened from that. What makes you think that we’ll be affected by this one?”
Kara’s eyes widen. “That’s a real thing?”
Cat ignores the question. “Kara, darling. You’re an alien. What makes you think Earth superstitions would even have an effect on you anyway.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah.”
Kara makes her mind up. “Can you try it on?”
Cat smiles. “You sure?”
Kara nods. “I want to see if I got the size right.”
Slipping off her jacket, Cat pulls the sweater over her head before casually strolling across the room to the nearest mirror.
“I love it.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.” Cat smiles softly, genuinely surprised that it’s not a lie. “It’s one-of-a-kind and definitely next year’s fashion.”
Kara’s grin is so wide and dopey that Cat can’t help but turn around, grab her by the collar and pull her down into a kiss.
“Thank you.”

Hi, I don't know if you're still using this account or not, but I wanted to say, thank you for making it. I've found so many of my favorite fics through this account. If By any chance you're still using this account, would you happen to know the name of the fic where Kara keeps giving Cat gems and stones and one day Cat and Lois are talking and Lois tells Cat that Kara has been proposing to her? Kara has been traveling further and further into space and collecting the gems for Cat? Thanks!
Hi! So I'm hypothetically still here but not really in the fandom much. So I haven't read most of the fics written in the last couple years. That said, in a weird twist of fate I went looking for something in Supercat after a fic in another fandom reminded me and stumbled on this:
Any chance that's what you're looking for? It's supercute I'm glad to have found it regardless :P

Stay
Then she sees it. The red, obnoxious sweater that rubs in all the wrong places and she understands immediately. She scrambles through the bag and tugs out the blue one just like it, cradling it in her hands as the bag falls to the floor. She looks at it as if it’s something divine. As if it’s something so much more than a twenty dollar sweater with a pom pom that will come off during the first wash never to be seen again.
She runs her thumb over it, tracing over the Merry Christmas and looking up at her in awe. Cat just shrugs and darts her eyes away nervously. “I didn’t want you to miss tradition.” She says simply.
Or
Some people say 'I love you' in sweaters.

I voted but it's tied! Do I still get fic? If so what about supercat first kiss? Maybe it takes them by surprise?
Any vote gets fic! Obviously I like it better when Supercat is ahead, but any vote counts!
.
"Do you kiss all the damsels in distress you rescue?" Cat asks with a careful nonchalance that Kara would absolutely not recognize without years of practice. She's too good at pretending to be unaffected by anything that comes up.
Including, apparently, surprise kisses from a superhero who swooped in to save her right in the nick of time. The car Cat had taken out for a quick drive was still settling to a stop at the bottom of the cliff, rocks from the sudden sinkhole and road collapse rumbling down the slope after it. Kara can still feel the chill down her spine at how close she'd come, and that chill had led to the perhaps ill-advised kiss.
Especially as Cat is just starting to date her cardigan wearing secret identity.
It's so new they haven't kissed, and new enough Kara hasn't admitted her true identity just yet. She plans to soon, now that things between them are official, if still a little hesitant, but she hasn't quite gotten around to it.
"I-"
"Because personally, I would've preferred after a calm night out, and the cape left behind," Cat continues before Kara can think of what she wanted to say. "Date night is so much better for these things than rescue night, don't you think?"
"You knew?" Kara asks, mind still working to catch up, the adrenaline coursing through her system making refocusing a little difficult.
"Of course I did," Cat says, a smile taking any bite out of the words. "But I think that's a discussion for another location, and given that the car is a lost cause at this point, what do you say you fly us somewhere we can talk, hm? And then perhaps we can have a redo on the whole first kiss thing."
Grateful for the reprieve, Kara nods and lifts them into the sky once more, already planning what she'll say, given that Cat knows and has known her secret.
And maybe also planning that redo.
Why waste a second chance, after all?

constantly thinking about the PERFECT setup supergirl season 1 had to make kara queer;
"oh my god, you're a lesbian" – winn to kara, in the very FIRST episode.
"hell, i wanna date her" – kara, about lucy lane.
"she does kinda give off a sapphic vibe, with that big old butch S chestplate" – leslie willis (livewire) about supergirl.
there were so many other instances in s1 alone, let alone in later seasons when lena showed up (recounting every queer-coded supercorp interaction would require a whole podcast). it was the PERFECT pretext to make her even just a little bit fruity, but the cw just couldn't handle it i guess

I've got some free time and the old fic finding blog is no longer active, so why not start a new blog, right?
I've read pretty much every Supercat fic on AO3 and have a decent memory, so if you're looking for a fic, just send over an ask and I'll take a look!
Fic finder requests only please! Rec lists take a lot more time (and are prone to bias) and I don't have that much free time right now. But I'll do my best to locate whatever fics you're needing found!

Fandom Trumps Hate
Hi folks! I'm excited to be participating in @fandomtrumpshate this year, offering a fic of up to 10k words. The selection of organizations that FTH is benefiting this year is really impressive and worthwhile, so I encourage you to take a look, and also explore all of the fabulous listings!
You can find my listing and bid here. TL;DR—I've listed Succession, Doctor Who/SJA, and Supergirl as the fandoms I'm willing to write for, but if you'd like to see me write something in another fandom/for another character or ship that you know I've loved and/or written for in the past, I'm open to that! Apart from my favorite characters and ships, I love writing about female characters & relationships, exploring character dynamics that are underexamined (or nonexistent) onscreen, canon-divergent scenarios, the ""5 Things/Times"" format, & stories that explore an undefined or in-between space in relationships.
Shoot me a message if you have questions about what I'm up for/feel comfortable writing. You can find my works, and the list of fandoms I've written for, here on AO3, and more details beneath the cut!
Tumblr media
Type of fanwork: Written fanwork Subtype(s): fan fiction (new) Fandom(s): Doctor Who: New Doctor Who (2005-present), The Sarah Jane Adventures, DC: Supergirl, Succession Highest rating: E Length/scope: 5-10k words Minimum Bid: $10
Especially interested in: 
DW: I'll write for the 9/10th Doctor era and/or the 14th Doctor era, as well as The Sarah Jane Adventures & Sarah Jane's classic era. I tend not to veer towards explicit shippiness in DW, but can discuss! I love companion dynamics, family themes, all things SJS, & the 14th Doctor's healing era.
Supergirl: I'll write Supercat in pretty much any form, & am happy to explore Kara and/or Cat in other non-romantic dynamics. I'm most familiar w/ characters that appeared in s1.
Succession: I'll write Roman/Gerri in any dynamic adjacent to canon (so, a wide range, but nothing wildly AU in terms of characterization). Beyond that, I'd be happy to write Gerri gen and/or Gerri w/ other female characters, especially Shiv.
More details, including DNWs, at the listing itself.

Find this Fic
I’m looking for a fic that I read a long while ago…. It’s set around Christmastime, and Kara and Cat run into each other while doing their holiday shopping. Kara gives Cat her gift, and it is very thoughtful (I forget exactly what it was), but Cat digs through her bags and gifts Kara with a pair of socks she’d initially planned to give to Carter. Later, Cat shows up at Kara’s apartment to essentially berate her for such a heartfelt gift (in typical Cat Grant fashion). Any ideas where to find this fic? Anyone?

To anyone who has been watching me flail and gnash my teeth over the past year as I write a monstrously long fanfic and maybe thought to themselves, ‘Damn, should I watch Lucifer so I know what she’s talking about?’
My answer is, NO! Bestie, I cannot, with a clear conscience, recommend the TV show Lucifer to anyone who knows me here on Tumblr. Now, if you want to learn how to utilize parallels in story telling? Then, absolutely! Lucifer is a MASTERCLASS in utilizing parallels, both visually and narratively. A++
But otherwise, you will have to do your own soul-searching and research to decide if Lucifer is worth your time. Because if I recommend Lucifer to you, then you’re going to start with episode 1 like a normal person and then you’re going to hate me because IT’S GARBAGE!
Oh, but Amber, all pilots are rough. I can just stick with it. — No, you misunderstand me. The pilot is FANTASTIC. It’s HYSTERICAL. But only if you know how the series ends. If this is your first introduction to the characters? It’s awful! I don’t know how anyone ever watched any part of S1 (except maybe the finale because the kidnapped child trope is chef’s kiss) and thought “OMG yes please, more of this”.
And I know what you’re going to say: Parks and Recreation. BUT THIS IS NOT THE SAME THING! You can absolutely skip S1 of Parks and Rec and never, ever go back and watch it, and you would be fine. You wouldn’t miss a goddamn thing.
You absolutely have to watch S1 of Lucifer. This is not a case of ‘oh the writers haven’t figured out these characters yet’. NOPE! This is 100% who these characters are at the start of their journey together. It’s crucial to understanding and appreciating their full character arcs. But it’s the start of their journey together and if they’re not a jackass (Lucifer, Dan) or sex-crazed* (Linda, babe WHAT was that), then they’re boring (Amenadiel and YEAH I’LL SAY IT Chloe^). Yes, Maze is hot, and toothless, 7 year old Trixie can do no wrong (bless that child) — BUT YOU CAN’T STICK WITH A SHOW FOR TWO CHARACTERS WHO ARE BARELY IN IT!+
[* — I don’t want to slut-shame. I am merely too aspec to relate. Also for a show about the Devil with a queer protagonist and more than one queer supporting character, Lucifer is WAY too Het (tm), but especially in S1]
[^ — Credit where credit is due: Chloe’s backstory of being a child actress who did a nude scene in a movie when she was 19 is FASCINATING. I love it because it is soooo outside of my comfort zone. I never in a million years would’ve made a character with that backstory, and for that reason, I love it.]
[+ — Watching a show for a character who’s barely in it is exactly something I’ve done in the past. It’s probably something we’ve all done at one time or another, but it’s not a sustainable business model for production companies, okay? You can’t always rely on the gays to do the work for you!]
You know what you get out of S1 if you wait to watch it last? (with spoilers — but honestly, it makes the show better. That’s my entire point in this post!)
Shouting at your screen 8.5 minutes in when the writers telegraph the end game goal of the show
General questioning where all the blue tones came from o_O (They liked ~filters~ in S1)
Having your mind goddamn BLOWN when you learn Chloe and Dan were still actually married at the start of the show. Like, WHAT?! No, I’m sorry… WHAT?!!
The horror that you were always going to feel now mixed with hysterical laughter as Linda is WAY too horny and WAY too susceptible to Lucifer’s desire power
“Did my father send you?” — DYING! DEAD! DECEASED!
Absolutely not being able to take Amenadiel seriously even for a second. Everytime you look up at his stony expression, you fall out of your chair laughing all over again
Tumblr media
[^Amenadiel, I'm so sorry, but this does not intimidate me. I know you too well now.]
AND THAT’S JUST THE PILOT! You keep watching and you get to see Maze meet little Trixie for the first time (adorbs <3). You get to watch Maze meet Dan for the first time and IT’S SO GODDAMN FUCKING FUNNY I AM NOT EVEN JOKING! Like, if you can make it that far into the show by watching from the beginning, then it’s still funny. But TRUST ME! It’s way better once you know they’re besties and have seen Maze sob over an N*Sync shirt. I’M CRACKING UP JUST THINKING ABOUT IT!
Tumblr media
You also get to watch Lucifer’s struggle with mortality/vulnerability already knowing how it works (already knowing how all of his powers work). Chloe says, “Oh, I want to shoot you so bad.” And you’re shouting YES, PLEASE! DO IT! DO IT! And it’s not because you’re hate-watching the show, it’s because you know he’ll bleed when she does and LUCIFER DOESN’T KNOW THAT YET! Malcolm’s about to shoot him episodes later and you’re yelling again DO IT! DO IT!!!! Because Chloe’s no where around this time and Lucifer won’t bleed but he doesn’t know that either! (And then you groan in disappointment when Malcolm walks away without shooting — and then you cheer when two seconds later the villain of the episode shows up and shoots Lucifer instead! \0/ It’s SO satisfying!)
What I’m saying is, Season 1 is incredible… but only if you add dramatic irony to it. If you’re as clueless as the characters? Then, god help you, because I wouldn’t have made it past Linda jumping Lucifer’s bones in her office during the pilot. I just wouldn’t have.
Further caveats:
If you want to watch solely for Maze/Eve — DON’T! My girl Eve is barely in the show after her S4 introduction, and she’s dating Lucifer for the majority of that season. Like Maze/Eve are incredible and perfect and integral to Maze’s overall character arc. You get to see them get married and they have such gems like “You broke my heart” / “Really? :D That’s awesome!” and “I don’t care if you die.” / “:’) That’s the most romantic thing anyone’s ever said to me.” — LIKE BABES, THEY’RE GORGEOUS! I just wouldn’t watch 6 seasons of a show for like 1.5 seasons total of B-storyline content. I don’t think that’s really worth it but your scales may differ.
Tumblr media
Now if you want to watch solely for Tricia Helfer…. FAIR! THAT’S FAIR! I’m pretty sure she’s what got me sucked in. Technically, that’s probably not worth it either because she’s only a regular for S2 and 3 and then guest stars in a couple of S5b episodes — but then again, IMDB confirms she was in 47 of the 93 episodes while Eve was only in 14 (FOURTEEN??? :O What do you mean?? Wasn’t she in like most of S4????? JFC no wonder it seems like she’s never around T_T) So yeah, Tricia Helfer might be worth it! She’s fabulous as both Lucifer’s mom and as Charlotte Richards! Love her!
Tumblr media
Season 3 is both the longest and the WORST season no matter when you watch it. Unless you have some deep-seated nostalgia for Smallville, you’re going to be miserable during this season and there’s absolutely no way I can make it better for you. I am so sorry. It’s horribly paced. It has a narratively useful characterization backslide with NO TRIGGER POINT so it therefore doesn’t actually flow with the narrative after all. It has too many filler episodes which for this show, does actually ruin the pacing, and includes two miscellaneous episodes that have nothing to do with anything slotted AFTER a very massive, huge finale cliffhanger! (WHY???? @ Fox execs, PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!!!) They completely fucked up the character foil I assume they were intending because there’s no way you intended that to be a face value parallel. I refuse to accept that. And that’s before whatever the fuck their goal was with the Chloe/Pierce romance. IT WAS SO BADLY DONE IT MAKES ME RAGE!
But also we got Chloe and Linda drunkenly taking over Lucifer’s penthouse when he was out of town, and the finale scene of Lucifer shielding Chloe with his wings as they’re getting shot at which makes me FERAL, so it’s not all bad.
Tumblr media
Speaking of Lucifer shielding Chloe with his wings, I might have an unexplored obsession with angels that is clouding my judgement of this show. :S Okay, years ago I read a Supercat AU where Kara was the devil and I was enthralled but anything else I found featuring angels just wasn’t the vibe. And then I found Lucifer and got hooked. So IDK! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Y’know, what? No time like the present…
First and foremost, Happy Pride!!! 🧡🤍🩷
Second, I suppose a more-proper introduction is in order…
Hi! My name’s Chloe! (I suppose the username tipped you off to that, but I digress.) I am a 30-something trans-femme demi-sapphic woman living, begrudgingly, in the American MidWest.
I am a massive nerd (pop-culture, DC Comics, Music, among others), and well… as you can see also, my chosen last-name is Danvers… so I’m not even gonna lie when I say that my personal inspiration for the kind of person I want to be is Kara (Zor-El) Danvers herself. [Doesn’t hurt that I dumb-lucked into finding my personal Cat Grant… tis the silver-est of linings.💜☀️]
I am a fledgling writer, though I have largely been in a 10ish year slump of writers block… currently trying to claw my way out of it starting with what has been my brain’s salvation these last few years: fan-fiction.
And in that vein, I figure, how better to get to know me, than to talk about my favorite ships, and why they resonate with me. So, let’s do this. :)
Bechloe: My first ship, even though I didn’t realize it at first. I’ve come a long way as an individual, so much so I watched Pitch Perfect the first time and saw 0 sapphic subtext between Beca and Chloe. (That is VERY much not that case now, I assure you. Lolz) So, why them? I’m a sucker for a grumpy/sunshine dynamic (we will revisit this later, I assure you. Lolz) between two women, and especially watching the sunshine warm up the grump a little. ❤️
Also doesn’t hurt this ship’s chances that this Chloe is THE Chloe that my name comes from… aspirationally, that kind of girl is inside me, but life has made me a bit more of a Beca, if that makes sense. Lolz
SuperCat: I could go on for days about them. Once again, Grumpy/ Sunshine, and I mean, I am literally a Danvers, so… lolz. Suffice it to say, they are a pair put on my radar by ‘My’ Cat…. And I have not shut up about them ever since. Seriously, the fact my partner still encourages it is a Raosend. Lolz I won’t go into much more detail, because my writing will do that for them, in spades.. whether it’s SuperCat, or AstraCat…. (No, not Aunt Astra… but consider this a tease for my SG-rewrite. ;) )
Chenrich: “Life is Strange: True Colors” is my favorite game, of all time. I’ve platinumed it, and I’m working on the perameters of a playthrough that gives me different challenges. But all that being said, when I see Steph and got her vibe, I burst out in a laugh and called it my “discount Beca Mitchell dating simulator”.. and I was not disappointed. ❤️ (btw, my canon ending? Alex and Steph stay in Haven Springs, and get the Black Lantern and turn it into a nerd bar… maybe one day I’ll write it. Who knows? Lolz)
Avalance: this is my semi-unexpected one… my brain is almost always in National City.. but these two, they grew on me, so hard. It doesn’t hurt that my partner broke my brain by telling me she saw a lot of Sara in me… and it took me years to finally see it too. (Though I will always, shamelessly, be a Kara… lolz) Co-Captains for life, babe. 💜☀️
Alright, that just may be enough to prolly not tell you all that much. But I’m an open book! And my asks are actually open now. Lolz
Alright, one more random thing, because why not? So… when I world build, I sometimes go to weird tangents… like, I may not have fleshed-out plot-lines… but I have 3 seasons of villian progression, and I’ve created the ice cream flavor made for her by a grateful National Citizen… (it’s “Swirl From The Stars”.. Fic is a lifesaver, swear to Rao. ☀️)
Alright, I’ve rambled on enough. I hope this finds all of you well, and once again, today and every single day ever…. Happy Pride!! 🧡🤍🩷
El Mayarah,
Chlo. 💜☀️

I’m looking for a fic I read a long time ago in which Cat and Kara run into each other around Christmas. If I remember correctly, it’s a little angsty, Kara gives Cat a heartfelt gift, and Cat in return gives Kara a pair of socks she’d originally intended to gift to Carter.
Hi!
Maybe this:

Supercat, what about “You don’t need to protect me.”? -asking for the Gelphie anon because I want to fill both
The poll is still basically tied, and every vote counts! So of course I'm gonna fill the second response in hopes of drumming up more Supercat support before the poll closes in the morning
.
"You don't need to protect me, you know."
"Habit," comes the quick response, earning an eye roll.
"I know I used to come whining about how Snapper treated me, but that was years ago," Kara points out. "You don't have to step in every time the Board tries to treat me like I'm still your assistant."
"It is my job as a CEO to stand up for my employees-"
"And nothing to do with the fact that we're dating?" Kara asks, giving Cat a pointed look. "Because I've seen you be just as hard on employees whether they deserve it or not."
"They usually do," Cat sniffs, ignoring the first part of Kara's question in a way that very clearly answers it anyway.
"Maybe, maybe not, Cat. But if I'm supposed to be CatCo's Editor in Chief, if I'm supposed to have a leadership role in this company, then you have to let me lead. Or are we not doing this together?"
That finally gets through Cat's façade, and she turns to Kara with a look of apology on her face. "We are, Kara. And I know you can handle yourself, especially against the Board. But I've seen what they've done to people. Hell, you saved me from what they tried to do to me. And I just don't want them to push too hard while you're still finding your way."
Kara nods, having expected it was something like that. The years apart haven't dulled how well she knows Cat, and their dating has only sharpened her skills. "And I love you for that, I do. You're right, they're selfish, and vicious, and not happy that a young woman is Editor in Chief. Even if I am Supergirl. Maybe even because I'm Supergirl."
Cat nods and goes to agree, but Kara cuts her off with a quick kiss before continuing instead. "You're right, but that doesn't mean I always need protecting. I have to take some of their hits, or they'll never realize I can stand against them. And if they never realize that, they'll never stop trying to take me down. They'll just shift to trying to take you down to hurt me."
"Oh, I can take anything they throw at me," Cat promises, leaning into Kara's hold.
"What about if we take it together?" Kara asks with a sigh, knowing Cat will never change and loving her for it all the more.
"Hm, I suppose that could be arranged."

I'm so glad you started this blog up, I've had a fic memory nibbling at me for months now and haven't been able to find it. All I remember is Cat hitting someone because she thinks Kara couldn't. Thank you if you can!
The first one I found is "Come to My Rescue" by InspectorBoxer but if that's not it I can keep looking!

It’s the first time Cat’s seen her without her glasses in six years.
or, the calm before the storm.
It’s a misty sort of morning, clouds slung low and heavy across the city so that even this far inland the air is thick with salt.
Cat lingers in the open doorway, a bottle in one hand and two glasses held precariously in the other. From here she can see little of the sprawling cityscape beyond the balcony but Kara — her face tilted up, hair spilling down her back, the easy strength in her posture — stands in sharp relief against the weak morning light.
She looks luminous, even with her back towards Cat. She looks powerful, confident —
“It’s so beautiful,” Kara says softly.
Cat nods, though Kara can’t see. “Yes,” she murmurs, stepping forward to set the champagne and flutes on one of the small tables outside. “I’ve missed it.”
It’s true, but she’s not looking at the city.
REST ON AO3
