#supergirl 6x20

[owl-with-a-pen]

Since Nicole did that interview and said that Jesse can play the piano we rlly need a prompt where brainy teaches nia how to play the piano with his hands atop hers. Such a cute moment that was STOLEN from us, cw writers

Oh, that definitely explains the 6x20 deleted scene then 😂 With that in mind, I've set this story during Alex and Kelly's wedding. Thank you for the prompt! (Sorry it's so late)

Nia should’ve figured she’d find Brainy here.

Not that long after the bouquet toss, she’d lost sight of him in the crowd. He must’ve slipped away from J’onn and Winn at some point without their notice, and while neither one of them knew exactly where he’d gone, it turned out he hadn’t strayed very far at all.

The majority of the crowd had been drawn outside for the toss, leaving the tents with just a few stragglers left behind, either lost in conversation or clinking glasses amongst friends.

Brainy, however, wasn’t exchanging in pleasantries with anyone. Instead, he was sat at the antique piano that served as a centrepiece for the room, his hands spread along the keys with fond admiration.

Nia grinned as she entered, plunking the bouquet down on the lid of the piano. “So,” she mused. “This is where you’ve been.”

Brainy blinked out of his daze, peering up at the flowers nestled perfectly at his line of sight.

Nia’s stomach clenched instinctively. Despite the grin she’d seen on his face earlier, they hadn’t exactly had a chance to talk about the whole catching the bouquet thing yet, or what that even implied for them.

Now, she’d literally shoved the topic right in his face.

“Sorry.” She winced, folding her arms awkwardly. “Too much?”

“Not at all,” Brainy said immediately, almost enough to surprise her. He turned towards her, his lips curving into a soft smile. “J’onn is right. It… it does look good on you.”

Warmth spread up to Nia’s cheeks. Her grin widened. “I think maybe it’d suit us both.”

“I have no doubt.”

Nia nearly laughed. Admittedly, she was still pretty high off the thrill of having Brainy home for real this time. No more false starts or do-overs, now they had all the time in the world to get things right. Even still, the fact Brainy seemed just as elated as her about the implications of the bouquet toss filled her stomach with an erratic swarm of butterflies, making it difficult to think about anything else.

She quickly sat down at his side to try and dispel them, smoothing out her dress, watching as Brainy’s hands worked across the keys, plucking out an idle tune. It wasn’t anything fancy, but it had a rhythmic flow to it that was almost hypnotic, pulling her in like the waning tug of the tide.

“It’s beautiful,” she murmured. “The song you’re playing. It’s not from Earth… is it?”

Brainy pondered her question for a moment. “Technically, I suppose it is,” he said as he continued to play. “I heard it first in the thirty-first century. It was written on Earth, and although the original composer was alien, they hailed from a planet far closer to here than one may first assume.” He glanced to her again, his fingers not once missing a note. “It is Bgztlian.”

Nia frowned. “Wait… I think I’ve heard that name before.”

Brainy lowered his head. “A friend of mine in the Legion was from there. Their planet existed in another dimension that overlapped with Earth. This song… I believe it was initially intended to express the struggle experienced travelling to a new world so similar and yet infinitely different from your own. How it must feel to pass through that world as a ghost, not quite seen as a whole person. To be a stranger in a place that existed in the same cosmic location as your own home.”

“Sounds melancholic,” Nia said. “But also, pretty familiar.”

Brainy looked up at her curiously.

“Existing in the same place as your home, but everything’s different,” Nia elaborated, giving Brainy a meaningful look. “A little like living in a different time, huh?”

Brainy bit the inside of his cheek, shifting uncomfortably. “The song is not meant to be sad,” he murmured, turning his attention back to the piano. “At least, not for the whole duration.” He quickened his pace on the keys, his right hand sliding towards a higher cluster of notes that he struck in a harsh but pleasing staccato. “It speaks of the joy of new connections, new experiences and new life. A ghost reborn, with a whole new world to explore at the very tips of your fingers.” He let go of the keyboard all at once, swivelling back towards her. His dark eyes held hers seriously. “Nia, I came back here because there was nowhere else I would rather be.” He paused, his expression softening. “You… you are the only future I wish to experience. I made a family here, and I do not intend to lose sight of that ever again.”

Nia felt another blush rush to her face. The butterflies ran rampant inside of her again, making it difficult to form words. “I’m… I’m glad,” she managed.

Brainy smiled, taking her moment of speechlessness as a cue to scoot closer on the stool, enough that his knee bumped against her leg. Nia closed her eyes when Brainy’s lips brushed against her cheek, lingering for long enough that she could feel the tickle of his lashes against her skin, the exhale of his breath as it warmed her throat. She let out a soft sigh of her own, tipping her face towards him.  

“Won’t you miss it?” she murmured. “The future? The Legion?”

Brainy drew back a little, and although his eyes were bright, Nia could see the strain in his next smile. “I can still visit them, if I wish,” he said, shrugging thoughtfully. “But even a thousand years away, I hold them close. With their memories.” He grasped weakly at the piano. “Their music…”

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Nia. She took his arm impulsively. “Could you… maybe teach me some of them?”

Brainy blinked in surprise, although his expression quickly transformed into eager approval. “Of course.” He frowned, gesturing to the keyboard. “Right now?”

Nia laughed. “Well, for as long as we have before someone kicks us off.”

Brainy smirked, bowing his head. “Very well. How familiar are you with the piano?”

“Oh, you’re looking at a real music aficionado,” Nia said with mock seriousness. She rolled her eyes, reaching over Brainy’s arm to plunk out the first ten or so notes of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with a clumsy hand. She winced once she’d withdrawn, offering Brainy a half-hearted shrug. “That’s… probably about where my expertise ends.”

Brainy didn’t appear disheartened by that fact, if anything his smile had only grown wider. “We can start slowly, then,” he assured her, guiding her hand back towards the centre of the piano so that her fingers could rest across the ‘C’ chord. “Nura taught me a Naltorian folk song some time ago.” He squeezed her hand. “It was titled 'The Drifter and the Dream,'” he spoke the song’s name in perfectly articulated Naltorian.

Nia grinned, biting her lip. She hadn't realised just how much she'd missed the conversations she’d once shared with him in her mother’s tongue. Until a few hours ago, she’d even been certain that she was never going to hear his voice again.

Hearing it now was already music to her ears, and they hadn’t even started playing yet.

“Sounds perfect,” Nia said, shifting her attention back to the keys. “So, where do we start? Here?” She pressed the chord down.

“Gentler,” Brainy murmured, sidling in closer to her. He demonstrated by slipping his hand over hers, pressing down carefully so that she felt each individual key sink beneath her. He held her hand like that for several drawn out seconds, letting the sound echo around them.

Nia smiled, nodding her understanding. “Okay, okay, I think I got it this time,” she said, trying to ignore just how closely they were sat next to each other, or the applied pressure of Brainy's hand that sent a pleasant warmth rushing through her arm.

But, then she remembered where she was, and just how perfect of a moment she’d found herself in.

And so, she allowed herself to sink into it fully.

Brainy wasn’t going anywhere this time. The night was still young and the only thing standing in their way was the potential for Kelly and Alex’s entertainer for the evening to angrily demand their piano back.

Until then, though, Nia focused on the here and now, on the giddy swell in her stomach every time she reminded herself that this moment was real. Brainy was with her, and the ache of the last three weeks suddenly felt no worse than a bad dream lingering on her periphery.

And so, Nia let the music take her away, resting her head against her boyfriend’s shoulder as she followed his lead across the keys.

Enchanted by soft melody, the rest of the world fell still, serving as nothing more than a backdrop for the song of her descendant’s history, her mother’s childhood, and her own inherited culture.

Nia couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect moment if she’d tried.

Supercorp incorrect quotes - “Imagine me & you”

[kuekyuuq]

One of the things that bug me about how CWSG ended...

And no, it's not (just) a certain lacking endgame XD

We've got a serialized show about Supergirl, Kara Zor-El, Kara Danvers. And yet the show spent overall so little time on her.

She got traumatized several times over, it got implied that she suffers from claustrophobia and PTSD. Yet it was never fully addressed, the next episode Kara just moved on, carried about - as if this was an episodic show. Which, yes, with the freak-of-the-week nature it was at certain points, but it also did in many others aim to have connected and continuous plots, story and character developments...

Now, what is it that bugs me in this installment?

Kara coming out to the world as Supergirl. Aaaand cut. Show over.

Is this a continuation or inevitable destination of Kara's struggles? Well, I argue, no.

What we did have was Kara struggling to find her place in the world. Kara is many things. She's a (no longer) orphan. She's (no longer) the last daughter of Krypton. Kara(thought she was but really is no more) the last Kryptonian to carry Krypton’s legacy, history, culture, education.. everything.

... Kara is Kryptonian. Was raised as one until she was 13, throughout the majority of her informative years. Kara Zor-El. Kara has incredible powers, which her very nature dictates she uses for good, become a hero. Supergirl. Kara is.. a refugee, adopted and in some ways till the end of the show at times struggling to fully integrate herself as: Kara Danvers. Kara's nature, without her powers also have her to strive to help others, uncover and fight bad things. A reporter. Kara's also just the girl who loves musicals, Big Belly Burger, Karaoke, hates greens, wants a perfect partner at Game Night... Just Kara. Kara is a sister. Kara is a daughter. Kara is a loyal friend...

Several times in the show, whenever Kara was struggling, Kara thought she had to chose between Supergirl or Kara Danvers.

The Black Mercy clearly showed Kara’s longing to be Kara Zor-El, missing the what-if.

During her redK incident some more seeds of that were sown, her red-veined self mildly risking her identity - but mostly showing that Kara was unhappy playing herself down (e.g. as Kara Danvers at work).

The downside of revealing herself was depicted in the 100th episode.

There were more instances whenever Kara became overwhelmed, that she wondered if her duality (person vs. persona) was the cause of her problems. 

But the solution was NEVER to go full Supergirl! 

It was always something else. ALWAYS, the show, told us, showed us, Kara was ultimately happier being bouncy Kara Danvers at the office and the proud hero on the streets.  That despite her pain and whichever most recent trauma, neither her cape nor the glasses were the problem. Nor was the double-act. [...except when it came to Lena]

Kara considered going full-time Supergirl in season 6 (episode 16), too. Alex and William (quoting Kara who quoted Cat) talked her out of it by letting her know, she can have it all, taking one step at a time, and maybe not all at once - because she's got a team, a family! 

And then she does it anyway.

She also becomes editor-in-chief at CatCo (which likely cuts down her investigative reporting time by a great chunk... You know, the very thing she loved about the job, loved so much it even - temporarily - did cost her that very job).

Oh, and there was also this:

The argument was made, that the whole double-life spiel had long since lead to Kara no longer knowing who she really was.

But did it?

I mean... yeah, it sure can be stressful at times, but... right, speaking of stress. Kara made that decision after

being part of reshaping the universe (and having witnessed the death of all of them beforehand!)

which reshaped Kara's history she now has no knowledge of (due to being a Paragon) or, if J'onn or her stay in the fractured PZ somehow bestowed her with her Prime-Earth memories, she now has two sets of memories...

she had been cast into the Phantom Zone again, where she had to suffer at the hands... claws... of the Phantoms and their nightmare inducing powers which are known to drive people insane for them eventually no longer being able to tell reality and the nightmare apart.

she found out her father was still alive and she sent him off to Argo / her mother - her family now well, whole and alive somewhere out in the universe

loosing yet another friend (William)

...

So, she tells the world she's Supergirl,

which will not erase the in episode 100 mentioned threats to her fam's lives

while the Children Of Liberty had been beheaded, the mistrust in people is still around

two years prior, during the Red Daughter incident, she had been declared public enemy number one

her sister's got a kid

ALL her prior reasons not to do so, have not magically evaporated!

I know, she's the Paragon of Hope, but...

People know Supergirl. Only very few know Kara Danvers. Hardly anyone on Earth ever knew about Kara Zor-El.

So, ask yourself, after revealing herself to the world, how would/will people perceive her now?

I think it's very naive to think, that Kara can be "herself" when people (at Al's bar, Noonans, work, performing the rare interview she manages to squeeze in between supering and her new, demanding job at CatCo) now either get star-struck or nervous at "meeting Supergirl", or at worst can't think past her being an (over-powered) alien. Supergirl is (in)FAMOUS! There is only Supergirl now, in the eye of the public, to anyone she meets. ...how could that possibly help her be more “herself”? The only people who she can be herself are the ones she could all along - her friends and family.  If anything it made going for a walk much more stressful, whereas Kara Danvers could eat ice cream without judging her for the messy way she may go about it in her eagerness... 

Is she being more honest?

Yes. There’s no more need to “fly on the bus”, am I rite? No more lies. 

Does this lead to her being more true to herself?

...on the surface at least, yes.

Does this lead to her being able to live as herself, her true and authentic self?

No, and not for some decades either (eventually, far away in the future, her having taken that step, and others following her example, this may very well lead to people not making distinctions anymore, being a Hero possibly just becoming considered yet another job, like a fireman/-woman or police officer).

Just a few years ago they've built the woman a friggin statue!

So, no. I do not think - and the show has not given me anything to believe otherwise, rather kept affirming my conclusion - that Kara would indeed be able to live as "herself" after the finale episode and her public "coming out".

I think the writers or whoever was in charge of that decision only saw the superficial symbolism (and a woke pro-LGTBQ+ implication). But they've entirely ignored Kara's path, her evolution and her experiences.

Truth be told, if there had been a seventh season after this cliffhanger (which it essentially was, as it raised more questions than it provided answers and/or closure), it would have had to have featured Kara facing the plenty-fold backlash of that decision. But making the show about Kara - the character - may have been a bit too much to ask for anyway... Maybe even culminating in her needing to call back Mxy to cash in her do-over raincheck.

So, no.

I see what the show was trying to say.

"Be yourself, don't hide, be proud." And that IS a good message.

But within the context of the show? Oh, boi, this one failed hard IMO.

My advice for Kara Danvers? 

TAKE A VACATION! Really, just be "Kara" for a while. No Super, no Danvers, no Zor-El. Just kick up your legs, DEAL with your trauma (talk to Kelly!), clean up shop, find your center, focus on your needs for a while.

Go sing Karaoke with your extended found family. Eat buckets of ice cream. Watch every musical in existence. Maybe even go and visit your re-united parents! Go on a road-trip with your bestie. 🥷 Finally take some time off to mourn: Red Daughter, William, Jeremiah (for good), Oliver... Go meet your nephews! There's two of them now, and they are teens already!

Trust your friends, trust in them having your back, that the world won't get destroyed (again) just because you take a few months of a sabbatical or to just limit yourself to rescuing kittens and helping grandmas cross the streets for a while. Maybe you'll even find a hook for a story to snag yourself another Pulitzer while you're just out there enjoying the world.

And yes, just ENJOY the world you've saved (over and over and over and...) for once! There's so much beauty in it. Prove to yourself why it is all worth it!

Because, Kara is NOT just Supergirl OR Kara Danvers OR just Kara...

She's all of the above and so much more.

Revealing herself to the world is not changing that it isn’t an instant solution to Kara's multitude of problems, her traumas, her inner(!) duality (tripality? quadrality?...).

The seasons have put her through the ringer several times over without giving her a chance to breathe, have thrown trauma, drama, loss, grief, shock and terror at her over and over and over again. She's a former last Kryptonian orphan refugee adopted by humans who has her parents back but estranged by time and space, facing xenophobia, racism, sexism (lots of 'isms...) left and right, had to face, fight and lose her own "evil" twin, possibly contradicting memories of her teenage years up to Crisis, keeps losing even when she's winning, spreads herself way too thin because of Big Bads constantly showing up....

For Rao's sake! The girl really doesn't know who she is anymore!

And it only on the surface leads back to her being a reporter and a Super both day and night.

There is a reason the comic book arc of Superman revealing himself got retconned / axed. ...after all, if I grasped that correctly, it was Lex' great idea for Sups to reveal himself to the world...

And no. I don't think either Cat nor Lena meant for Kara to come out like that. They were being supportive. Cat in her "you need to figure out what you want, so just dive, Kara!" way and Lena in the more gentle "whatever you feel is right to you, my one true love best friend" approach. Cat was trying to push Kara (meant well, but IMO after the previous events just wrapped up, a bit of a bad timing). And Lena was ...kinda enabling, having just come on the other end of her own life-long trauma spiel and possibly being over-supportive after the year of hell...

So yeah, I've got issues with the last few minutes of the finale. In my head-canon it was Kara's fever dream after she finally had a full night's sleep after the final show-down.

Feel free to disagree!

TL;DR:

“I was missing the point. It is not about what you do. It is about who you love.”

A New Beginning: A Supergirl 6x20 Re-Write

Chapter One: Back to Reality

There was definitely a new air about National City that night, and there was definitely a new air about Kara Danvers as well. Sitting in her chair in the main meeting area of the CatCo bullpen, wearing a red and cream tartan suit with her hair perfectly blown out; almost as if she flew there in a rush so she wouldn’t be late.

Thanks to a very important person at her sister’s wedding, who can only be described as the living embodiment of regality with a soft marshmallow center, and a droning force in short but fun-sized packed persona over the phone, she decided that this interview was not only the right time to tell the City she called home for years who she was, but all to breathe. To become herself. Her WHOLE self.

“Are you sure you want to do this Kiera?” The incomparable Cat Grant almost floated in to do this interview, she was that mystical and ethereal. “Once you do this, your life will be changed, and the horrid, ridiculous guest appearances start.”

“I’m sure. This is exactly what I need to do.” Kara takes a relaxing deep breath to calm her nerves.

“And none of your family knows you’re doing this?” Cat’s eyebrow makes an ever present curious arch.

“Nope…Though this would be a good surprise.” A slightly nervous, but at peace chuckle was the clear indicator that she was ready.

“Well then…” Cat gave her famous, let’s get down to business smirk. “Let’s make history.”

*The Lena Luthor Foundation--Head Office*

Catching up on some paperwork, Lena had lost track of time.

“Knock knock.” A rap on the door frame from Andrea had greeted her. “Figured you could use the company and pick me up.”

“Andrea.” A smile brighter than Rao itself was the indicator that she needed a break. “You’re a lifesaver. And thank you. I lost track of time, I actually forgot to eat.”

“Well, when Kara is off changing the world in her new Girl Boss position, someone needs to be there as back up.” Andrea began to unpack a bag of Big Belly Burger, and turn on the tv in Lena’s office. “So, where is Kara exactly? Didn’t you tell me she would be here too?”

“She was, but she had something come up with Cat about changing the layout of their next issue. And something that big, I wouldn’t keep her from that. I told her she could simply make up to me at home.” Hiding her smirk when she said that was not even going to happen.

“I bet.” A chuckle was bound to happen. “I’m happy for you, Lena. Ever since our last catch up after Alex and Kelly’s wedding, it seems like you and Kara are closer than ever.” Andrea was genuinely happy for her friend.

But what she didn’t know was that there was indeed a moment between her and Kara at the wedding. However, just as she was about to say those three words, Nia had called them to wave goodbye to the blushing brides.

“We are. It feels very cathartic that we can just be ourselves with each other. And after all of that time I spent being angry at her for simply…” She definitely couldn’t reveal Kara’s secret. “Keeping a family secret to herself, I had time to think about all of that.” Lena shrugged as she ate.

*The Suburbs of National City*

Family Movie Night was in full swing at the Danvers-Olsen household. Tonight’s plans: Chocolate Drizzle Popcorn, A giant order of potstickers no one had to fight over because Kara wasn’t there to inhale them like a Hoover vacuum, and a big pitcher of lemonade with “special additions” for the adults.

“Alex, hurry up! The movie is starting.” Kelly hollered from the living room

“I’m coming.” She warmly chuckled, followed by a delightful peck on the lips and greeted Kelly upon her return. “Movie nights require extra blankets.” Alex lays one over Kelly and Esme, who was practically shoveling the popcorn by the handful.

“And I feel honored to have finally made a movie night. It’s been a while since I’ve visited. The Tower has kept me rather busy. With you ladies enjoying your time off, and Kara being a big shot with Cat, Brainy, Nia and M’Gann are helping as much as they can.” J’onn grinned warmly as he leaned back in his armchair.

“And tell M’Gann we said thank you for her gift. That Martian salt lamp, I’ll admit, was a little…odd. But the living room was the perfect place for it.” Alex quickly retorts.

“Sssssh.” Esme takes a break from chewing. “You guys are going to miss the best part.” She jokingly glares at them with her crystalline amber-brown eyes.

“It’s the beginning.” Kelly could help but laugh at her daughter’s reaction.

“Exactly. Everything you need to know is in the beginning and I don't want to miss a thing.” She goes right back to devouring her popcorn, eyes practically glued to the TV.

All three adults exchange a glance that read “I swear she’s smarter than all of us.”

“She gets that from you.” Kelly smirked, mouthing to Alex, before turning to the screen herself.

While watching, Alex just took in her surroundings for a moment. For all her life, she had dreamed of having a family of her own. Of having a partner that would love her regardless, good times and bad. Pinching herself to check if it was real was no longer necessary. Her dream had finally come true. With a content exhale, she wrapped her arm around Kelly, pulling her close to snuggle under their blanket.

*CatCo Bullpen*

“Thirty seconds to air, Miss Grant.” A camera assistant reminds them as the equipment setup is finished.

“Are you ready to make history?” Cat smirked.

“As ready as I’ll ever be.” Kara took a deep breath, closing her eyes just for a moment. In that moment, all of that conflicting weight about having to choose between Supergirl, and Kara Danvers…was gone. Yes, she still had the trauma she never really dealt with, but finding a therapist would be tomorrow’s plan. Right now, she wanted to show those little girls out there who look up to her, that you can have as many sides to you as you want.

With a definitive and proud nod to the camera person, the red light turns on.

“Hello National City. You know her as Kara Danvers, CatCo’s Ace reporter and NEW Editor In Chief. But tonight, it is my great honor to introduce to you…Supergirl.”

As she was saying those words, trying to remain as professional as possible, she could feel her sense of pride grow. Cat had known Kara since the start. Yes, she was mean and hostile. But it was only because she wanted Kara to see her full potential, and as soon as she figured out that Kara and Supergirl were one in the same, she pushed Kara harder. She knew the doubts were still there. Hence the blunt, but caring pep talk she had given her over the phone. Cat always knew how great Kara’s value was. Being able to not only break the story about Supergirl, but to be able to interview her protege in the end…She hadn’t had too many “proud mom” moments in her life, but seeing the person Kara had become over the years right in front of her; The growth she could see from Kara’s smile alone, it was certainly just that.

And even though Cat knew her identity for years, hearing her mentor say it, seeing her mentor smile while saying it, it took all of her willpower to not tear up. In that presence space, Kara and Supergirl were whole.

*The Lena Luthor Foundation--Head Office*

Andrea had nearly had her milkshake come out of her nose watching the TV. “Wait, you’re telling me…” Her Sage/Mint Green eyes wider than usual, she had to set down her dinner. “All of those times. The time Supergirl saved me when Nxly nearly threw me up against my back office wall, that weird white tiger incident…”

Lena simply sat there, stifling a chuckle while nodding. “Yeah. It’s a lot. But it was for Kara to tell you herself, and not me.”

Rubbing her face as if that would help the news process faster, Andrea leaned back in her office chair getting pained realization across her face. “Kara was missing for those weeks. Her hesitancy to write about the Phantoms. Her being scrambled…oh my god.”

“Andrea, it's okay.” Lena reaches for her friend’s hand to assure her.

“It’s not Lena.” Shaking her head, refusing to act like she was nice to Kara. “I was nothing but rude to Kara. I shot down every idea, criticized her work when it was perfectly fine. I couldn’t even pick up on the fact that the Phantom situation probably caused her even more trauma after I forced her to write about it.”

“That’s an understatement.” Lena whispers under her breath.

“Even sending William to flat out snoop on her and the Super Friends was a dumb move. It…” Andrea was flashing back to that video.

“Don’t even go there. It wasn’t your fault. As nice a guy as he was, he could’ve prevented his own death. Sending that video to guilt trip you was a shite move on his part.” That was one thing that made Lena angry about that situation: there was an easy solution, but someone with a small brain decided to have the last word.

“I know.” Giving a somewhat sad smile, Andrea was grateful for Lena’s assurance and advice. “And Hopefully opening a school in his honor, as well as an award, is the first step to getting future Kara Danvers’, Nia Nal’s and William Dey’s pursuing the truth.” Looking at the clock. “Well, I should go. Tell Kara I said hi.” She gives Lena a much needed hug, and turns on her heel.

“I will Andrea. Drive safe.” As soon as she left, she practically lunged for her phone.

“Two things: That suit, The Cher Clueless vibes REALLY suit you ;). And when you get home…we need to talk.”

With an effervescent smirk, her own heart growing warmer by the second, Lena sat back in her office chair, and watched the rest of the interview with Kara and Cat. She had always been proud of Kara; who wouldn’t of their own best friends accomplishments? But with every word Kara spoke, Lena could visibly see how much her words to Kara at Alex’s wedding helped.

“My girlfriend is HOT.” She chuckled to herself.

*The Suburbs of National City*

A silence had fallen in the Danvers-Olsen household. While J’onn, Kelly and Alex were a mixture of shock and pride, Alex especially. There was her baby sister, at peace with who she is on TV, being interviewed by the person who had seen her grow just as much. Her eyes were glassy with tears, causing her vision to slightly blur. Despite the stinging in her corneas, a smile as big as the milky way galaxy was plastered right across her face.

“Aunt Kara!” Esme on the other hand, practically flew off the couch to sit closer to the TV so she could watch her aunt in all her glory.

The look she had on her face was priceless, magnified by one hundred.

“Well, if that isn’t the cutest thing on this planet.” Kelly grinned, watching Esme. “I don’t think I’ve seen Esme with this much wonder before.”

“Wouldn’t you if your Aunt was a superhero?” J’onn beamed, listening to the interview questions. “Even being interviewed, she has a gift with words.”

“I’m not surprised. If there was one subject she was good at in high school, it was creative writing.” Alex quickly dabbed her eyes so she could have a clearer view while watching. “I always thought Kara would do something like this, but just print. I had no idea that she was going to let Cat interview her.”

“It’s pretty full circle if you think about it. That one issue of CatCo you showed me, Cat was the one to break the story. I think it’s poetic that Cat is the one to finally get Kara to open up about being Supergirl.” Wise as ever, Kelly too had a twinkle of happiness watching.

“But that would mean…” Alex’s cogs were turning. “Oh…wow. That means Cat has always known too.”

“Aunt Kara really needed a different disguise.” Esme laughed at her own joke.

“Yeah…glasses were definitely not the best idea.” Alex responded with a resounding agreement.

“Can we go see Aunt Kara tomorrow to tell her we saw the interview?” Esme turns to all three of them, puppy dog eyes turned all the way up to 11.

“She mastered that quickly.” J’onn smirked at her reaction, watching Alex and Kelly slowly but surely cave.

“If she’s not too busy with work?” Alex turned to Kelly for the assist.

“I think your Aunt Kara would love that surprise.” Kelly booped her precious little button nose.

“Yay!” Esme cheered. “I’m going to go draw a picture of her to give it to her tomorrow before bed.” She takes off running to her room.

“I will take that as my cue that movie night is over.” J’onn surges from his chair to give the girls each a hug.

“Thanks again for coming, J’onn. Esme wouldn’t let up about inviting you to movie night.” Kelly jokes, returning his sentiment.

“She really does have everyone wrapped around her finger.” He fondly jokes right back.

“I wouldn't have it any other way.” Alex gives him a bear hug with a pleased feeling of content. Both she and Kelly waved goodbye, then began to pick up the aftermath of snacks.

“So, how are you feeling?” Kelly could always tell when something was on Alex’s mind.

“Like someone just shook the emotional magic eight ball that was inside me, and asked “Is Alex going to cry?” Answer: Without question.” Alex’s sense of humor always somehow made her feel less emotional in order to get herself to stop crying. “Though, I’m shocked Kara didn’t text, or reveal anything about this.”

“Maybe that was the point of the surprise. All of those pep talks you’ve given her over the years, plus Lena, and whatever blunt and slight scary pep talk Cat gave her…was the push she needed to do this.” Kelly came up behind Alex to wrap her arms around her waist, resting her chin on her shoulder. “It’s nice to see your sister be her authentic self.”

“You’re right.” Grinning, Alex spun to meet Kelly’s luminous brown eyes. “And between you and I, I think Lena did most of the pushing to get her to this point. Now if she’d only just remove those blinders of hers.”

“You’re bad.” Kelly teased before leaning in to meet Alex’s lips the rest of the way.

“Cue the song Bad to the Bone.” Alex, quite pleased with herself, closes the gap. “Come on, let’s go see how our little Bob Ross is doing on her masterpiece.”

Hand in hand, they stood watching Esme. Swelling with a sense of home and completeness, that couldn’t help but turn to mush watching their daughter reach for color after color as she drew Kara on TV. To them, this was their definition of perfect.

*CatCo Bullpen*

“Thank you, Miss Grant. This is exactly what I needed.” With a loud exhale, Kara felt freer than she had ever felt in her entire life.

“I should be the one thanking you, Kiera.” Cat admits. “These next words I’m about to stay within this bullpen…” She then turns to give the iciest glare to the camera operators. And just like that, as if by magic they disappeared. “I may be snarky, callus and rude…” Immediately, her finger goes up to ward off any sarcastic comments that would come out of Kara’s mouth. “But I really do care. Those Groucho Marx glasses of yours, you didn’t need them. That disguise worked about as well as the superhero’s first suit in a pilot episode on the CW. I already knew you were special. Whether it be your writing, or how you interact with people. As far as I'm concerned, you were Supergirl in the office. Even then, I knew you were giving people a sense of Hope. Being able to do this here, with you…Not only has it been the highlight of my entire career, it is the moment I am most proud of.”

“I don’t --I…” Kara quickly pinched her tear ducts to stop herself from crying before giving a reserved, but very big hug. “Thank you.” She shakes her feelings away, taking a step back.

“You’re welcome.” Cat didn’t let many people hug her; Kara was one of those lucky few. “Now you better run along to your girlfriend, because I’m sure she wants to see you after this momentous occasion.”

“How did you?!” Kara’s face instantly goes Hubba Bubba pink.

“Oh please, it's about as obvious as the beginning of every Christmas and Valentine’s Day movie on the Hallmark Channel. Go.” Cat shooed her as she packed up her stuff.

A booming woosh was all that was heard as Kara left. She knew she had to figure out what the second half of Lena's text meant. Did she forget something? Was she in trouble for eating the last piece of cheesecake? Getting an I’m Sorry as a just in case was her best bet.

Here it is. My very first chapter of my Supergirl fanfic. I’m super nervous about sharing, but please let me know what you think in the comments, and any KIND constructive criticism you have as well.

Posting this before the episode because I’m not sure I’ll be in any state to write after. Set during Alex and Kelly's wedding.

---

Kara’s not one to usually sit to the side, especially when a party is happening and especially when that party is Alex and Kelly’s wedding, but for right now she is, happy to sit back and observe, happy to watch all of her family and friends together as they celebrate the love between her sister and new sister-in-law.

Everyone’s dancing, everyone’s smiling, Kara smiling herself when she sees James and Esme dancing, Esme standing on James’ feet.

But as she glances around, it’s Lena and Winn that draw Kara’s attention more than once, her eyes lingering on her best friend before she remembers she shouldn’t stare and glances back at Alex as she dances with her new wife.

But try as she might, her eyes keep finding Lena. Lena looks devastatingly beautiful, hair back, dark lips matching her dark suit, eyes even more green than usual against the dark eyeliner and a plunging neckline that Kara has been having trouble keeping her eyes off all day too.

Kara swallows, glances back at Alex again, trying to distract herself, when she finds Alex walking towards her. She’s not sure how long she’d been staring at Lena but she glances towards the dancefloor and sees Kelly now dancing with James and Esme now sitting in Eliza’s lap.

“Dance with me?” Alex wiggles her fingers in Kara’s direction with the question, Kara grinning as she accepts the offer and lets herself be tugged from her seat.

“Where’s your wife?” Kara asks, knowing full well where Kelly is, she just wants to use that word because she knows how Alex will react.

As predicted, Alex’s already big smile widens, her forehead dropping to Kara’s shoulder. “I can’t believe she’s my wife,” Alex whispers.

“Better get used to it,” Kara beams, wrapping her arms around Alex’s waist.

Alex laughs, or it’s more of a giggle really as she lifts her head. “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.”

“Happiness is a good look on you,” Kara grins.

“I am so happy,” Alex breathes, as they sway together.

Kara squeezes Alex’s side. “I know.”

“Are you happy?” Alex asks, smile falling into something more serious, unexpected from Alex’s grinning state just a moment ago.

“Of course, I am,” Kara frowns. She’s so happy that everything with Nyxly is over, so happy that they’re finally safe, so happy that she gets to spend this day with her sister and Kelly and that she gets to see her sister happy too. Alex deserves all the happiness in the world.

“Are you sure? Because the longing looks I just saw directed at Lena tell a different story.”

Kara lets out a breath. At least the sudden line of questioning makes more sense now. “I’m happy, I promise, with the way things are now.”

She is, happy that is, she’s just happy Lena is in her life, that she’s got her best friend back and everything is okay between them again.

“But you could be happier,” Alex says, serious brown eyes on her.

“Alex…” They’ve had this conversation before, a lot recently actually.

“What? I just want you to be happy, like I am right now. You love her, you should tell her. What’s stopping you now? You kept saying you were waiting, but what are you waiting for?”

She’d broken down one night, not long after she’d returned from the Phantom Zone, and told Alex about her feelings for Lena. Alex hadn��t been surprised, but she also hadn’t pushed, just said she should tell Lena when she was ready.

“I don’t know,” Kara says, because she doesn’t. She’d had reasons, but she can’t think of any now.

“Tell her,” Alex smiles. “Trust me, she loves you too.”

Kara’s heart skips in her chest even at just hearing Alex say the words.

“Why are we talking about me, this is your day,” Kara says, attempting to change the subject.

Alex smiles. “Because I want you to be happy.”

“Thank you,” Kara says, tilting forward to press a kiss to her sister’s forehead.

“Does that mean you’ll talk to her?”

“No,” Kara shakes her head. “It means I’m going to tease you about the fact that I definitely saw you tearing up during your vows.”

“I did not.”

“You did,” Kara grins. They both know she’s right.

Alex rolls her eyes but doesn’t protest anymore as they continue to dance, until Kelly appears beside them.

“Mind if I cut in?”

“Of course not,” Kara smiles, dropping her arms from around Alex.

“Think about what I said,” Alex says, giving her a pointed look as she steps away.

Kara nods, hears Kelly asks what Alex meant as she steps away but Kara doesn’t listen to find out what Alex is going to say. She glances around, her eyes finding Lena, now sitting by herself, Winn now talking to James.

Kara wonders for a moment if she really could just do it, if she could just walk up to Lena, tell her how she feels. She’s not sure it’d be that easy.

Nevertheless, Kara finds herself drawn to Lena, stepping in her direction without conscious thought, halfway to Lena before she even realises what she’s doing.

“Hey,” Lena smiles, looking up when she reaches her.

Lena is utterly gorgeous and Kara’s heart stutters in her chest as she takes the seat opposite. “Hi,” she smiles. Lena’s eyes are crinkled in the corners as she smiles back at her, gaze affectionate and Kara remembers Alex’s words again and she knows Alex is right, Lena really does make her happy.

Lena places her hand on the table between them, almost like she’s reaching out. “Having fun?” she asks.

“Come with me?” Kara asks instead, her hand falling to rest over Lena’s on the table, Alex’s words from earlier ringing through her mind again. And suddenly she wants it, wants Lena. Not that that’s new, but she wants Lena to know, thinks she might feel the same too.

“Where are we going?” Lena asks, fingers threading through Kara’s, letting herself be lead without any idea where she’s going.

Kara thinks Lena would follow her anywhere, and she knows she’d follow Lena anywhere.

“Do you trust me?”

“Always,” Lena replies instantly.

Kara leads them away from the party, away from the noise and dancing and watching eyes, leads them to where they have at least a little bit of privacy.

Lena’s hand is so warm in hers, it feels so right as it sits perfectly in her own. Kara looks down when they stop, eyes on the way their fingers are tangled together. She can’t believe how much she wants this, how much she wants to be close to Lena, how much she never wants to let her go. Nothing else makes sense except her spending the rest of her life with Lena, and she wants that to start now.

“Kara?” Lena prompts, voice like honey, soft and smooth, drawing Kara’s gaze up to curious green eyes.

“Can I kiss you?” Kara blurts, Lena’s breath hitching as soon as the words leave Kara’s mouth.

It’s not what she’d meant to say, not yet anyway. She’s not sure exactly what she was going to say, but she was at least going to lead up to that question, a thought that’s been burnt into her mind ever since she looked down and saw dark red lips and wondered what said lips would taste like.

Kara bites her own lip, mostly to stop herself from saying anything else, but all the move does is draw green eyes down, a look in Lena’s eyes that she recognises, though never really knew the meaning behind until right now.

“Please,” Lena breathes, eyes still fixed on Kara’s mouth, already leaning forward.

Kara meets her halfway and it’s the best decision she’s ever made.

Kissing Lena Luthor is nothing like Kara had been expecting. Her lips are soft, Lena humming into the kiss and it’s infinitely better that anything Kara could’ve imagined.

It only gets better when a gentle hand cups her jaw, when Lena’s mouth opens under hers. Kara’s fingers tangle in smooth material, tugging Lena closer and then all she can feel is the warm body against hers, Lena’s tongue in her mouth and they should probably stop soon because they are in public but now that she knows what a kiss from Lena tastes like, she doesn’t want to.

Lena’s heart is beating fast when she pulls away, her breathing quick, and Kara has to resist he urge to chase the contact, to press her lips back to the smudge of lipstick now on Lena’s mouth.

“Hi,” Lena says, the word so unexpected that Kara laughs, not that Kara knows what you’re supposed to say when you’ve just kissed your best friend, especially when the kiss got a little more heated than she’d expected, but still.

“Hi,” Kara smiles.

“I was starting to wonder if you’d ever do that,” Lena says, thumb stroking over Kara’s bottom lip as she does. Kara wonders if her own mouth is lipstick-stained now too.

“Kiss you?” Kara asks, only slightly distracted by the feel of Lena’s thumb on her mouth. The other part of her mind now caught on green eyes, still so close.

“Yes,” Lena hums.

“I wasn’t planning to, today at least.”

“What changed?” Lena asks, curious.

“Alex,” Kara says. No point in hiding any of this now, Kara’s pretty sure Lena knows how she feels about her, especially after that kiss. “She said some things, she just wants me to be happy, and you make me so so happy. I love you,” Kara says, the words easily rolling off her tongue as Lena stands close. She wants there to be no doubt in Lena’s mind how she feels about her. “And it seems dumb, after everything we’ve been through, to not just tell you that now.”

“I love you, too,” Lena replies, eyes shiny, like Lena might be about to cry. Despite Kara’s teasing earlier, she cried during Alex and Kelly’s vows too, and she’ll definitely cry now if Lena does.

Or she might just cry anyway, because Lena loves her and they just kissed and Kara knows that this is it, that she wants to spend the rest of her life with Lena.

“Come here,” Kara says, tugging Lena forward, this time not for a kiss, but instead Kara wraps her arms around Lena, pulling her into a hug.

Lena easily slots against her body, fitting perfectly against Kara like they were made to fit together.

“You make me happy too,” Lena whispers into Kara’s neck, and Kara just holds her tighter, breathing in Lena’s shampoo and perfume and a sweet smell that’s all Lena.

“We should get back to the party,” Lena says, pulling away, but Kara can feel the reluctance in her movements.

Kara feels the same way.

“We should, Alex is probably wondering where I am.”

“And she’s going to know exactly what we’ve been doing if we don’t fix our lipstick.”

Kara grins, eyes falling to Lena’s smudged lipstick again. She loves the fact that she’s the one who did that to Lena’s mouth.

Kara reaches out, tangles her fingers with Lena’s again. She darts forward, just because she can now, and presses a quick kiss to Lena’s cheek.

Lena’s cheeks heat in response as she ducks her head, suddenly shy even after everything that’s just happened between them. It’s ridiculously cute.

“Come on,” Kara says, resisting the urge to kiss Lena again. There will be lots of time for that later. She already has the perfect first date planned. “Let’s go fix our lipstick and get back before anyone notices we’re missing.”

A New Beginning: A Supergirl 6x20 Re-Write

Chapter Two: The Big Reveal

With a box of chocolates, wine and flowers, Kara flew home as fast as she could. “Lena?”

“Hey you.” That melodic Irish brogue of her carries through the apartment. “How was your day?”

“Good.” What was before Kara was Lena in her NCU sweatshirt, flannel bottoms and cupcake slipper socks.

“What’s all this for?” Curious of the meaning of the things Kara had in her hand, she first dragged her to the couch, then got back up to get a couple of wine glasses.

“I saw the second half of the text you sent me, and my mind went over everything. So…this is essentially an ‘I’m Sorry.”

“Kara, sweetheart, you have nothing to be sorry for.” A spritely chuckle was Lena’s response. “The gift, albeit very thoughtful, and yummy, that is not what my text was about. Did you even see the first part?”

Pulling out her phone again, she read the first sentence multiple times, before looking back up at Lena, feeling slightly embarrassed. “Ah…”

“Yeah, it was definitely quite the surprise, seeing you on TV. And I gotta say, you looked pretty smoakin’.” Her famous eyebrow arch accompanied with a heart melting smirk was the sure fire way to get Kara to relax.

“You sure flattery isn’t your superpower instead of Magic?” Kara jokingly asked as she opened the box of chocolates, kicking her shoes off before leaning back on the couch and accepting the wine.

“Cross my heart. And…Andrea was watching with me.” She revealed.

“Really? How did she process?” Intrigue was an understatement about how Kara felt about her former boss knowing.

“She looked like a cartoon that had gotten squished by an anvil at first, but then she felt really bad about all of the times she treated you horribly.”

“You know I’m over that now, Lena.” She dismisses.

“I know Kara, but she really did feel bad. I wouldn’t be surprised if she reached out to you. She really does want to make amends.”

“Then I appreciate the thought. Whenever she reaches out, I will gladly accept.” Kara sighs, sipping her drink.

“You really did look great on camera.” Not once had Lena taken her eyes off Kara. “I’m proud of you. Out of all of the years I’ve known you, seeing you on camera and how you handled yourself with grace and poise, you were practically radiating sunshine.”

Kara always did this thing where, whenever she was complimented, she would get the biggest smile while simultaneously biting her lip and bowing her head to hide the cherry red blush on her cheeks. “You always know what to say. And, to be honest, while I was answering, I was worried about stumbling over my words. Yet, with every second that passed by, there you were. In my head, like always. Pushing me through.” It had become second nature for Kara to reach for Lena’s hand whenever they sat on the couch together.

“Kara, there is actually something that has been weighing on my mind.” Sure to not spill a drop, Lena sets her glass on the table before her, and turns her attention back to her Kryptonian Adora.

“What is it?” Kara mimicked her actions, watching her face.

“Ever since your sister’s wedding, and that…..” Lena was now turning a shade of apple red, and with her skin tone, it was as clear as day. “Life changing, time stopping kiss of ours, I…”

“I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it either.” Kara hadn’t let go of Lena’s hand saying this, in fact half way through Lena’s babbling, she started to gently massage the space between her thumb and index finger. “It was pretty great.” Like the human Golden Retriever she was, she raised both of her eyebrows to get Lena to smile.

“That, and it got me thinking…about us. And how I feel about you.” Taking a deep breath, Lena fiddles with her hands to keep some of her nerves in check. “Kara, you know you’re my best friend, but I don’t think that’s going to cut it anymore. I don’t like hiding the fact that we’re together from our family. I get that you want us to keep things private because we are a new item. Damn those consequences. I want to be able to show you off. I want to be able to declare to the world how lucky I am to be your girlfriend.

“Lena…” Kara had a sense of where this was going. She was listening to Lena’s heartbeat as she spoke, and with every word, it got faster. She knew of three reasons why this would happen: Anxiety, Stress…and she was about to say I love you.

“Please, let me finish?” Lena’s voice squeaked with how nervous she was. “I’ve never felt this was about someone before, in my life actually. And thinking back about all of the times you’ve saved me, and were willing to risk your life…Nobody has ever done that for me. Every time we shared a hug, I never wanted to let go. And when I found out all of the times you defended me to the others. It’s like…you’re my knight in shining armor. Even when I had hurt you, you still trusted me with your life. That day, I vowed to do everything in my power to be worthy of your trust again…”

As Lena was nervously babbling, rather adorably, Kara had slowly begun to scoot closer to Lena on the couch. Yes, she was paying attention to the words, but every other word, she would look at Lena’s lips. The dark red lipstick that was as crimson as a rose practically hypnotized her. But what Kara loved the most…was just listening to Lena talk. Whether it was the inflection in her voice, or the way she talked with her hands. Now was as good a time as ever.

“And, I guess what I’m trying to say is, Kara…I…”

Before Lena could even finish, Kara had gently cupped her face and closed the distance between their lips For Kara, kissing Lena just turned all of her senses up to 11. Her lips fit perfectly together like a puzzle piece with Lena’s. This kiss was just as passionate and fiery as the one at the wedding, but this one was also more intimate and gentle. Kara deliberately let it linger longer than the one at the wedding…because she was just as in love with Lena, as Lena was with her.

“I love you too, Lena.” That delicate whisper. The declaration of love accompanied with a soft forehand touch, it was definitely a moment out of a Hallmark movie. “I realized it when Mxy and I…tried to change the timeline to fix our relationship.” Not once did Kara’s hand leave Lena’s cheek.

“Okay…I’m definitely going to need a full story.” She wasn't surprised. At this point, she knew Kara would risk it all for her, no matter what.

Here’s Chapter 2, everyone. Hope you enjoy!

So I posted this in response to a tweet about the ending of the Supergirl series finale last night,

To go into more detail about this, by greatest hope with this ending is with Legends of Tomorrow. Im not saying Kara is gonna join the Legends or anyone for that matter (even though I think it would be epic if Nia joined.) My hope is with the Legends writers. They have literally said they are all for diversity and all for lgbtq folks and it shows in the show. I think if Supercorp is ever gonna become cannon, it would be just something that one of the Legends (probably Sara) would say. Maybe just an offhand comment about how Kara came out as supergirl and a response of how she came out of the closet too. I honestly would love to see this happen because even if the SG writers are homophobic, the Legends writers definitely aren't.

It actually happened. Supergirl is over.

I usually lose my mind while watching the episodes, posting as many stupid and sassy comments as I can come up with 😆

But not this Tuesday.

Couldn't come up with anything. Still can't, to be honest. So this post won't be my finest job 🙈

Ever since the finale it's been a mix of being about to combust at any second and feeling hollow at the same time. What kind of sorcery is this? 🤨

Fucking pissed Disappointed that we didn't get the Supercorp we needed? Of course.

Surprised? No. 😂 As the main targets of the showrunners blatant greed and malice to increase ratings at all costs - including our hearts and sanity - were we ever surprised? 🙄

Doesn't mean it hurts any less.

But we did get our Supercorp 💖

After everything that's happened in these 5 years, especially this last season, we know very well that Supercorp is more than real. It just wasn't as obvious as our girls deserved because fuck you coward homophobic showrunners, I'll despise you for the rest of my life 🖕.

Mirrored/synchronized gestures. Longing glances. Comfort seeking. A way of staring at each other that is reserved only for them.

Instant change in mood and body language when seeing each other. Refusing to allow the other to be in any kind of danger and yet never hesitating to put themselves in harm's way for them.

Literally risking the safety of the entire universe for one another. Defying the laws of physics to create solutions to ensure their protection. Never giving up on each other, even when everybody else did.

Unadmitted confessions.

This scene still makes my heart skip several beats 👆

"I know how much your sister means to you Alex, and yet today you made the most painful sacrifice because it was the right thing to do, and I... I don't think I could do that"

Then we have Alex yeeting all reason to the sun, taking all the totems to Lex to save Esme 😏

"I believe in you"

"It's only because you're on the team that I'm here"

And Kara LEANED IN, bruh! 🤣😭🙌🙌

Alex's reaction was so delicious 😂 And loud!

And countless other moments 😌

And Queller and Rovner have the AUDACITY of trying to pass their feelings as just friendship?? When people that don't even watch the damn thing can see right away that they're in love? 🤦🏻‍♀️

"My office is overflowing with flowers"

"You're the only person in the galaxy I know will do right by it"

"For a friend like you, there are no boundaries"

"You protected me from losing a part of myself. You always do"

They have something that's so uniquely theirs. So easy to see, hard to explain and impossible to deny.

"It's not just what I feel for you. It's what I do not feel for anyone but you" (not sure who the author is)

I know it sucks not having the ending we wanted, even a Korrasami style one. But we still got it.

But the sheer insolence of choosing to develop a faux romantic relationship between the bald psychopath and the imp in the few remaining episodes instead of allowing Kara's 5-year relationship with Lena to take its natural course for no other excuse than the fact that Lena is a woman - as the fandom discussed multiple times, had either Lena or Kara been a man, their actions would've been seen as romantic a looong fucking time ago - is just grotesque.

If the showrunners only intent was to queerbait us to finish the series with strong ratings, then they shot themselves in the foot, because all they did was comfirm what we all knew since the very first time the best Luthor graced the screen with her presence 😂

"Of all the friends I've ever had, you have pushed me the most. Challenged me the most"

"You've made me a better person"

It happened. Supercorp happened. That's a fact. And no you can't change my mind, and no this is not up for debate. Go pester someone else u.ú

There's only so much the actors can do when they're being suffocated by the assholes that call the shots. But it's more than just the script.

Everything that was within Melissa's and Katie's (and the rest of the cast too, specially Chyler, I love you babe) power to give us, they did it with beautiful and brilliantly thoughtful acting choices - easiest way to see this is by muting the sound of supercorp scenes (specially the finale) and focus only on what they're trying to show you. Look at their eyes and where they're going, their faces and bodies, their touches. They're trying to show you what the script won't allow them to say with words.

They fought for us till the very end 💖

Ugh their love is soooo loud! 😭

All in all, the show ended with the characters on their way to happiness, feeling at peace with themselves, full of hope for the future. A happy ending to all of them. In the end that's all we wish for the people we care about ❤

That alone was better than most series out there - again, I'm looking at you cw ಠ ωಠ ( っ'-')╮ =͟͟͞͞💣

As much as I would've loved to see a big wet tongue-sucking kiss, my babies have a whole future ahead of them where that's gonna happen (shout out to all you beautiful magicians out there giving us endless heartwarming content 😘).

All things considered, I'm fine with that ❤

I think the weight in my chest comes from not being able to say "there's always next season", "there's always next episode" anymore. And the cast is so incredibly sweet and genuine that knowing they won't be around their little found family as often, and we won't be a part of that as much, is making me miss them that much more.

Don't even get me started on all the scenes from the finale that weren't shown in every country and the big chunk of dialog that was removed; I'm still livid at that 😤

I really really hope the fandom gives Queller and Rovner absolute HELL from now on 😈

Don't touch the actors nor the writers or anybody else in the crew. They have no say at all in what happens in a show. What we see on the screen is what the showrunners allow.

Beginnings

by Sapphictaurus

They’ll talk after the wedding. Kara knows that, for once, there really will be time for them later. It’s not perfect, not with all of the healing they still have to endure both together and separately.

But it’s a start. A beginning. It’s all Kara could have ever wanted.
