Summary:

And if it was hard for Kara not to stare at Cat before
it’s impossible now, now that she knows Cat wants her to stare, is
staring at her too.

It feels like a dream, like she’s
still high from the fumes, and Kara pinches her impenetrable skin under
her desk, checking if she actually woke up. It’s her idea, that they
don’t need to tell everyone they’re dating right away, and Cat is fine
with it when she suggests it. The email scandal is too fresh—it would
look terrible for Cat to be dating her former assistant on top of that.

Kara
and Cat start dating and don’t tell anyone, and this is possibly not
the best idea. Also featuring Danvers sisters, and games nights, and
specific nerdy stuff!


I wrote a thing for @magnificent-dragons for @supersantafemslash 2017!! And am just posting about it now because this is the first time I’ve been on Tumblr on my computer since Christmas. Oops!

This is prompt taken from an old Lois&Clark episode (That Old Gang of Mine) that I can’t stop imagining as SuperCat: Catco building is under siege while Kara is stuck with Cat and other hostages. One of the gunmen try to rough Cat up and Kara steps between them. Gunman shoots her in front of everyone and she has to pretend to be dead. Cue emotional Cat, revealed feelings, and Supersquad trying to find a way to save Kara’s secret identity. Please, oh please, please

unicyclehippo:

if she hadn’t been so distracted, if she hadn’t gone to that fire downtown, they wouldn’t be in this position. there wasn’t even anyone in that fire! they totally could have handled it without her. but no, she had to go and be a hero and now catco is on lock down and there is no way that she can emerge as supergirl without giving away everything. 

worse, now she has twenty employees on this floor potentially in harms way. 

worse still, cat grant has been haranguing her gunman—to be clear, the man holding a gun to her head—for the last three and a half minutes.

Asking for help with legal research for a Supergirl fic!

queersintherain:

Hi all! So, I’m gearing up to start writing a fic I’ve been researching for two or three months now (things have gotten intense!) and I’m wondering if anyone with some knowledge of US/California law/how court cases work on a basic level would be interested in helping out answering some specific questions for me or pointing me in the right direction!

The fic is Kara x Cat x Alex, featuring demisexual Kara Danvers and asexual Alex Danvers, and is basically going to be a realistic exploration of trauma and kink in the superhero genre. Or as realistic as I can get it via a LOT of research (seriously, you should see my google search history these days).

The court case I’m trying to figure out involves the DEO/Supergirl suing Maxwell Lord for human alien trafficking, rape and sexual assault, and involves fun legal questions like how to get aliens considered persons under US law. (This is just for your info; most of my questions are pretty basic legal things!)

Reblogging just in case it’ll help anyone else see this! I am looking for super basic (US) legal advice from anyone with that kind of experience–just things I can’t quite figure out how to google. Fic info above is just in case anyone is interested. DM me if you know things about the law and wanna chat!
