A Change in Plans

Fandom: Supergirl

Characters: Lena Luthor, Kara Danvers, Alex Danvers

Summary: Kara has the perfect wedding proposal planned. However, outside forces altered what she had in mind.

Note: Did this for Fluffcember with a bonus choice of Cookies

Kara stood staring at a blue sunflower print dress that she had in her closet. It was the same dress that she wore on her first date with Lena. She smiled when she thought about it. She was so nervous about botching everything. However, the night went perfectly. They held hands while they walked to the park and had a picnic near the lake. It ended with them wrapped in a blanket watching the sunset set. The sun setting over the lake caused the lake to turn into beautiful hues of pinks, blues, and purples. It was as breathtaking as watching the marvel across Lena’s face. 

Today was their one year anniversary and she wanted to recreate that date with Lena, but with a twist. Hidden in the picnic basket, she had an engagement ring and bracelet. Sam and Alex had been spies for her and told Kara the engagement rings that Lena had been looking at when she didn’t think anyone was noticing. She was able to get it from Lena’s favorite jeweler several days ago. It was a pink heart-shaped diamond ring with a silver band. She had inscribed inside the band: You are my heart and soul. Now and forever. She went to the Fortress of Solitude to have Kelex recreate the wedding bracelet her mom had. It nearly made her tear up thinking about it. The bracelet had her family’s crest surrounded by gold. Wedding bracelets hold a special meaning in Kryptonian culture. Not only was it an announcement of your love, but it was showing the world that you wanted to spend eternity with that special someone. It was very significant because marriage in Krypton was not something that was taken lightly since divorce was heavily frowned upon. Only a couple of people in Kryptonian history have done so. Kara couldn’t wait to put the bracelet around Lena’s wrist. They had about an hour before she had to leave to pick up her custom-order picnic basket from Noonan’s, place the ring and bracelet inside the basket, and then take Lena to the park, but Kara was a bundle of energy. She thought about going patrolling to burn off some steam but changed her mind when she smelt something pleasant coming from outside the room. She followed the smell until she got to the kitchen. She smiled when she saw Lena in the kitchen taking out a tray of cookies. 

Kara bounced over to her smiling and exclaimed, “I didn’t know that you were making cookies!” 

She looked at the cookies further and noticed they were her favorite: Reese’s peanut butter cookies. Each cookie was several inches high with a soft center. 

While her mouth watered, she said, “You made my favorite.”

Lena smiled, caressed her face, and said, “It is a special day, and I wanted to do something special that showed that you mean everything to me.��

Kara smiled and said, “You mean the world to me too.”

Kara leaned to kiss Lena. Kara wrapped her arms around her and Lena leaned into the embrace. They kissed for a couple of moments until they heard a sudden pop. They leaned back, opened their eyes, and saw that they were in darkness. 

Before they could say anything else, the lights came back on again. 

Kara smirked and said, “I guess our love nearly overloaded the electricity.”

Lena chuckled while swatting playfully at Kara’s arm and said, “You are incorrigible.”

Kara smirked and said, “You know you love it.”

Lena smirked and said, “Always.”

Lena leaned forward and kissed Kara once more. They stayed like that for a couple of moments before Lena pushed herself back. Kara looked up at her pouting. 

Lena chuckled and said, “I know you want to keep going, but I want to finish making the cookies. Before they cool off, I need to soak them in the honey mixture that you like so much.”

Kara beamed. She loved the honey glaze that Lena used on the cookies. The Reese’s peanut butter cookies did taste great without it. However, the addition of the glaze brought the cookie up to the top tier.

Kara sighed and said, “I will get out of your way.”

Lena chuckled and said, “I just need 10 minutes and then you can have a cookie.”

Kara smiled and kissed Lena on the cheek. 

“Alright, I will just check my work emails for a bit.”

Lena smiled and said, “Perfect.”

Kara bounced out of the room looking for her work computer until she noticed something strange out of the corner of her eye. The door that led to the balcony showed it had ice forming on it. She went towards it, opened the door, and balked at what she saw. There was a full-blown blizzard happening outside. Considering they were near Los Angeles, this was not the norm. She quickly closed the door and called Alex. She answered on the first ring. 

“Hello,” said Alex. 

“Hey, have you seen what is going on outside?” asked Kara. 

Alex sighed and said, “Yes, I see the snow.”

Kara frowned and said, “It is not just snow. It is a snowstorm happening out there. The visibility is so low that I can only see a couple of inches in front of me.”

“I know. We got reports from Metropolis of Superman and the Flash fighting the Weather Wizard. He caused a snowstorm to appear. The Flash and Superman were able to destroy the machine the Weather Wizard was using, but the storm he created was in the atmosphere and has been heading west ever since. It has been losing force believe it or not since traveling. Metropolis got hit with 20 feet of snow. They are predicting here that we will get 8 feet.”

“Is there no way to stop it?”

“No, at this point, it will be waiting for the storm to dissipate on its own. The scientists believe that the storm will peter out around Hawaii in about 8 hours.”

Kara groaned. That nixed the perfect proposal plan she had tonight. 

“I know that you had plans with Lena tonight, but maybe you can do the proposal another time.”

Kara sighed, “Maybe.”

Did You Know that on the Halo 3 map Snowbound, a Canadian one-dollar coin (or "loonie") is buried in the ice? This is likely a reference to the "lucky loonie" customarily buried in the ice at Canadian National ice hockey and curling events.

Bonus Fact:

This detail was not ignored even in Mega Bloks form. On the Snowbound Battlescape set, a gold stud was included to represent the dollar.

Homing Instincts by Surprised_by_witches

Homing Instincts

by Surprised_by_witches

T, 11, wangxian

Summary: Their high school friendship ended abruptly, but a chance encounter just might bring Wei Ying and Lan Zhan back together again.

Kay's comments: Lan Zhan workes as a naturalist at the local nature center where Wei Ying takes his son Wen Yuan. After a scandal in high school that led to Wei Ying getting disowned they lost contact and both Wei Ying and Lan Zhan are each other's "the one that got away" in a way, so there's a lot of yearning for what could have been and mutual pining as they slowly reconnect. Very soft story with touches of angst especially revolving around Wei Ying being Wen Yuan's presumed biological father and him living together with Wen Qing (and others). I really enjoyed this story and the twist at the ending was very cool!

Excerpt: Lan Zhan loves his work, caring for this preserve and the creatures who live here. When his mother was alive this was one of her favorite places to take him and his brother on the weekends they stayed with her. His cottage was hers, left to him in her will. He loves the quiet of it, the gentle welcome home after a day of having to talk to people, the one part of his job he doesn’t enjoy. He’s fine with his role of educator, but he knows his banter needs work. Mostly he just smiles, which seems to work OK. His uncle thinks he could “do more” with his life. His brother is glad he’s happy. And he is, mostly. A little lonely, but happy. He tries not to dwell on what might have been.

[haveyoureadthisfanfic]

Summary: On a remote island off the coast of Japan, a woman confronts an unusual dog that may have been part of her past. An AU (sort of) set in modern Japan; a writer (Rin) is offered the job of watching over an island home, her only human interaction is the supply plane. Figuring a quiet winter alone would do a world of good to catch up on work (and work on herself) she jumps at the opportunity. While exploring the island one day she meets (er is mildly attacked by) a snowy white dog, who is obviously much more intelligent than he should be.

Note from submitter: This has been one of my favorites for years! I go back and read it quite often! There's a sequel (Snowbound: Requiem) that gives the story a bit happier ending, and wraps up some loose ends. But the story can be read on its own!

Out of the Cold

by Meditating_Honey_Badger

This fic was written as a spin on Prompt 1 of the @tarlosmonthlyprompts for November & December

TK arrived at the fire station ten minutes before the agreed upon time, only to find Carlos leaning against his police cruiser, sipping what TK assumed was coffee out of a large thermos. He was wearing plain clothes, rather than his uniform, but he still looked impeccable in a button-down shirt and dress pants, his hair carefully gelled so there wasn’t a flyaway to be seen.

Of course he’s early, TK thought. That boy scout has probably never been late for anything in his life. And why is he dressed like we’re going someplace nice? They were headed to Colorado Springs to pick up a prisoner with cardiac issues, including a clotting disorder that made it inadvisable for him to fly. The prisoner was to be returned to Austin to face charges on several crimes he’d allegedly committed there before fleeing to Colorado and going on yet another crime spree.

The police department decided a paramedic should ride along because of the prisoner’s complicated health history. TK had volunteered immediately when asked, knowing that the time and a half pay for 96 hours straight would go a long way toward his goal of getting his own place. Ever since his mother had set up camp with TK and his father, the house felt incredibly cramped.

Unfortunately, the officer who was originally supposed to go was sick, and his replacement was Carlos Reyes. It was no secret that TK and Carlos didn’t get along, and his captain had offered to let him back out of the trip. In the end, given the choice between spending more time under the same roof as his divorced parents — who were definitely sleeping with each other and thought they were doing a good job of hiding it — and spending four days with a man who he couldn’t stand, TK chose the latter.

Besides, he’d suffered worse fates. Like healing from a gunshot wound with no pain medication. Except he’d already done that. Which had driven his mother to join them in Texas, which is how TK ended up desperate enough that he was willing to spend four days in a police cruiser with Carlos.

After TK parked his car, he grabbed his bag from the back seat and pulled his own drink out of the cup holder, a frozen mixture of caffeine and sugary goodness. “Where should I put this?” he asked as he approached the police cruiser. “I still have to go inside and grab my supply bag.”

Without a word, Carlos set his coffee on top of the car and went around to the back. He opened the trunk and gestured for TK to place his duffel bag inside. “Doesn’t look like you brought much with you,” he commented.

“It’s not a long trip,” TK replied, unable to resist rolling his eyes. “Four days on the road, and who do I have to impress? The prisoner? You?”

Carlos snorted and closed the trunk. “Certainly not me. I already know enough about you to know that I’m not impressed.”

“Nice, Reyes. You know, I planned on being civil since we have to be together for the next ninety-six hours, but I guess you prefer to play dirty.”

Carlos frowned slightly, and if TK didn’t know better, he would have sworn there was a passing look of regret on Carlos’s face. TK ignored it and asked, “Can I put this down in the cup holder while I run inside?”

Carlos’s frown deepened as he looked at the disposable plastic cup. “That doesn’t look very spill-proof.”

“Do you really want to deal with me if I haven’t had my coffee?” TK shot back.

“If you can call that crap coffee,” Carlos said as he opened the door. “Just be careful. We just detailed this thing two days ago.”

“Fucking snob,” TK muttered as he leaned in and set the cup down.

“What was that?” Carlos asked.

“I said nice job,” TK replied as his head reemerged. He grinned broadly, and even batted his eyelashes a little. “On the detailing.”

Back in high school I was home sick one day and this video came on VH1 and embedded itself in my mind. I never knew who it was by and only recalled a few lyrics beyond the hook.

I tried to look it up online a few times over the years but had no luck until TODAY!

Snow-Bound? Stranded? Time for Creative Yarn De-Stashing

Snowbound or stranded today? Time to tap into that creativity that often makes the best crafting! #snowbound #crafting #knitting #creativity

I’ve found myself in Florida much longer than expected, and I’m a knitter stranded alone with a “mystery stash” of yarn. What to do??? It’s a great luxury to plan a project, decide exactly what yarn to use, and even mull over exactly what color you’ll use from a wide selection available. It’s nice to make a few swatches and decide which size knitting needles to use.  But what if you can’t?  I…
