Lena Luthor had gone through eight secretaries in two months — but it wasn't her fault they were all incompetent. The job wasn't difficult, anyway; she just needed another set of capable hands to manage her agenda and sit-in on a few meetings.
When the idea hit her, it was too tempting to ignore: she had perfected duplication technology after researching the Black Kryptonite she had recently gotten her hands on.
Why settle for just one Lena Luthor?
At first, the solution seemed too good to be true, with two Lenas bouncing around L-Corp tackling twice the meetings and offering mutual support wherever needed. They had fun with it, too. They each addressed the other as "Miss Luthor" and made it clear: neither was just the secretary or the CEO, they both played both roles simultaneously.
"Yes, Miss Luthor."
"Right away, Miss Luthor."
The synergy was perfect. Perhaps the flirtation was inevitable. Neither put in much effort to hide the mutual attraction they shared.
Late one night, when it was just the two Lenas left alone on the 22nd floor... they realized what opportunity laid before them. She had been offering herself a "helping hand" all week — was there any harm in showing herself a bit more self-care?

Fanfic Writer Questions!
Thanks for the tag, @fazedlight
1- How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 19 works on AO3.
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
Do y'all really want to know? Welp. Okay, since you asked.
According to the stats section of AO3, I have published 1,338,126 words on AO3. (Not including my recently deleted fic which was 23,000-ish words).
A million of those words are Korrasami fics.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Korrasami (The Legend of Korra) and Supercorp (Supergirl - Arrowverse).
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Confession (Supercorp) at 854 kudos, which was a rewrite of the end of Season 4.
You are the only one that sees me, trusts me, and believes in me (Supercorp) at 411 kudos, which is a one-shot of Kara telling Lena the truth after Lena is poisoned in Season 3.
Unraveling Realities (Supercorp and sequel to Confession) at 346 kudos, which is a rewrite of Season 5. (Includes Lena's Great Irish Quest and is not a rift fic).
Shared Moments: Book 2 - Spirits (Korrasami) at 329 kudos, and is a rewrite of The Legend of Korra Book 2. I continue this series all the way through to Book 4 (Books 1 through 3 are completed, I'm working on Book 3.5 and 4).
Terminal Velocity, Texts, and Cats (Supercorp) at 215 kudos, and is the story of Lena and Kara's friendship/relationship from season 2 through start of Season 6 (no Totem storyline tho) as told through texts, cats, and carefully woven short scenes. It's a one-shot technically.
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yes. I will gladly talk to folks in the comments and even have conversations with people! I enjoy it. I do my best to thank commenters too, though it may take me a bit to answer these days.
However, when people shit on my fiction, I learned my lesson, and no longer fall for that trap.
But overall most comments are pleasant and lovely. I love hearing from readers! Feel free to share how you feel and your thoughts on the story.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I tend toward happy endings to be honest, but I'd say the angstiest ending was Shared Moments: Book 3 - Change (Korrasami) because there's no avoiding the angst there. I kept the story arc of Book 3 close to the original, so for folks that have seen TLOK, they know how angst heavy the end of Book 3 is.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Most of them? Well, except for Book 3 - Change and Book 3.5 - The Mirror. Those aren't happy per se. They are hopeful, yes, but not happy. All other fics have a happy ending.
Maybe Asami's Hidden Box of Letters and Poetry? It's a cute one-shot of Asami and Korra being absolutely adorable, and it ends with them being happy and kissing, so yeah. Probably the happiest?
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Ugh, yeah. Weirdly enough I got the most hate on my Korrasami fics, where a few readers would write some really, really cruel things. Or rant about what they wanted me to write. Or engage in fights with other commenters (yes, this happened on the big finale of Book 3 - Change, where the ableist comments squared off with the kind commenters). Or the editor commenter who gave unasked for and unwanted "editing" of chapters.
Strangely enough, I have only had one mean commenter in the Supercorp fandom, and that poster was someone that other commenters warned me about and told me to disregard.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Not really? I will write a vague sex scene here and there -- mostly in the Korrasami fics (my Shared Moments series). I haven't gotten to any sex scenes in the Supercorp fics though a few are coming up in Unraveling Realities.
I try to capture the emotion of the scene rather than describing the sex in detail. I honestly don't feel qualified to write a smut scene, which is why I prefer this approach.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I wrote a silly crossover of Supergirl and The Legend of Korra. It's on Tumblr somewhere -- see my pinned post, I think I linked it there.
I do have a WIP, where Lena builds a multiverse portal only for it to open in the Avatarverse, and her and Kara accidentally end up stuck in Asami and Korra's world. So then Korra and Asami have to help them build a portal and find their way home again. I don't know if I'll ever finish it.
I also have a Star Wars Korrasami WIP. This one involves Asami and Korra assisting in the Battle of Endor with Luke, Leia, Han, and crew. They then help with the building of the Republic.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes, I was pissed. Please don't do that.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not that I know of. If anyone wants to translate one of my fics, let me know. I'm willing to talk shop.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
@nottawriter and I are working on a Supercorp fic, though it's not published. It's where Lena and her daughter meet Kara, who is their home inspector.
Beyond that, I've only ever co-written original fiction. My friend, Raveneye and I wrote an original science fiction story. It was written in the form of "letters," where one person was on the space station (Raveneye's character) and one person on the alien planet (my character).
14. What's your all time favorite ship?
Korrasami. Supercorp is a close second.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I will finish all my WIPs someday!! Unless I die before that happens. *knocks on wood*
But I guess the Supergirl/TLOK crossover is least likely to ever be finished.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Worldbuilding and immersion of reader in the five senses.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Pacing. Honestly. pacing makes me anxious, and I'm always convinced I'll fuck it up, especially in longer works. (And yet, I write mostly longer works. Go figure).
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I have done this. Spanish and Irish in particular. (Kryptonian as well now that I think about it). I include translations in the end-notes.
I do it mostly for the reader to feel the same emotions as the POV character who struggles to understand the other language. Does this trick work? So far comments seem to imply yes? But who knows?
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Korrasami.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
I have to pick one??? I don't know actually.
I'm pretty proud of my rewrite of Book 2 - Spirits and Book 3 - Change. I'm also proud of Confession, especially how I reworked Lena's role in the Red Daughter fight scenes.
But I like all my fics equally well to be honest. I mean why write them otherwise?
For Tags... ummmmmm.
I have no idea who has done this and who hasn't? If you have done this, apologies for the tag. Let me know and I'll go read your version. @thecasualqueer, @nottawriter, any of my mutuals, and anyone else who wants to play.
