If I had a nickel for every time Katie McGrath played a character who... was adopted at a young age by a rich and powerful family with a prejudice against anyone not strictly human, (that she later rebelled against, wanting her abilities to be recognized as a force for good), had a brother who was the clear golden child who she was close with as kids only to later grow apart due to irreconcilable moral and political differences, had her adoptive father be revealed to be her biological father, had sapphic vibes with a woman who she was close with in her youth (who later went on to lead an empire) before an apparent betrayal soured the friendship, had a close friendship (with major romantic undertones from day 1) with someone who hid their special abilities from her, resulting in a massive feeling of betrayal and a turn to the dark side, discovered as an adult that a close female relative she never knew is in fact a witch - and that she is also a witch...
I’d have two nickels.
Which isn’t much, but it’s weird it happened twice

cottage
supercorptober 2023
I don’t want to lose a single thread from the intricate brocade of this happiness
-Mary Oliver
or Lena and Kara return to her childhood home in Ireland for a second time a year later
a follow-up to day 1 wild
-----
Autumn makes the ground grow soft. Readying the earth to yield itself to the weight of rain and snow and the tread of boots until it can give way again to a verdant Spring.
She lets herself be soft with it. Lets herself sink into the earth just a little. Lets the tall grass cover her. She inhales deeply, the scent of moss and heather filling her lungs. The world is slow and steady, its urgency buried far beneath the soil now — far beneath her.
She hears the door close in the distance.
Knows Kara's voice will soon follow.
"I'm back."
She pushes onto her elbows, sits with her legs stretched out in front of her, brushes some of the grass from her knees. Knows there is more still clinging to her back when she feels the faint dampness of her sweater touch her skin.
Her feet follow the well-worn path through the meadow back.
As she stepped inside, the cottage seemed to breathe with a gentle sigh, its stone and timbers settling into the rhythm of the world a little bit more each time they came back.
Kara is right there, balancing on one foot as she pulls at her boot, her muddy footprints marking the wooden floor as she hops back and forth.
Lena chuckles softly to herself at the sight.
"I'll clean it up, I promise," she murmurs, tongue pressed tight between her lips in concentration.
"I know you will." Lena goes over, presses a kiss to her cheek, and walks back towards the kitchen.
Kara's hand slips from the wall, but she manages to pull her boot off before falling, raising it up triumphantly.
"ah-ha!"
But Lena misses the grin on her face, misses the playfulness in her eyes.
Doesn't realize she's stopped with her hand on the door jam until she feels Kara's arms wrap around her waist, chin resting on her shoulder.
"You okay?"
Lena nods, fingers tracing the marks there, softer now, worn, faded just a little. "I'm fine."
She counts all the marks on the door.
Wonders if she will ever stop noticing them.
Wonders if she wants to.
The two beneath her fingers are a year old now.
But the two to right are nearly brand new.
The four at the bottom are as old as the room itself.
There's one last one now too, about halfway up, Esme's name etched beside it.
She can feel the warmth of Kara's body seeping into hers. She leans back into her.
"I still think Alex cheated. There's no way she's the same height as me."
The heaviness in her chest gives way to the lightness in Kara's voice, and she lets out a quiet laugh.
Kara turns her around, arms wrapping fully around her as she presses them together.
"Is it cold out?"
Lena tilts her head back, chin resting on Kara's sternum.
"Just a little."
"Your sweater is a little damp."
She rubs her hands up and down her back, crinkle in her brow.
Lena nods, voice a little tired now, despite the early evening.
"Just a little."
Kara pulls away just a little. Pulls the sweater she's wearing over her head, letting the white cotton t-shirt underneath lift up just enough that Lena's fingers can trace the strip of skin at her waist.
"You're lucky I'm not ticklish." Kara grins, holding out her sweater towards Lena.
Lena smiles, taking it and trading it for her own. The warmth of Kara's body still lingering on the fabric.
Come on," Kara says softly, tugging at her hand. "Let's go lay down for a bit."
And this time, Kara leads them back not into the meadow but into the room here that has become theirs — into the bed that has become theirs.
Strands of dark hair spilled across Kara's chest and the soft cotton of the linen sheets beneath them. She reaches out to take Kara's hand, threading their fingers together as they sink into the mattress as if it were the soft Autumn earth. But the ground outside is not the only thing that has grown softer. She has grown softer, too. Not just in the way one's body does; in the way the earth does — rounded at its edges from time, from all the things that have pressed against it. But she is softer too with her grief, with her pain — with herself.

hello! daily morgana pendragon deserves the world. also, i'm very curious to see what you think a morgana and lena interaction would look like! i feel like the universe would break. oh! this is me realizing they both have something against their brothers. what a nice realization to have! anyway, just wondering what you think that might look like :)
DAILY REMINDER THAT MORGANA PENDRAGON DESERVES THE WORLD!
i'm so sorry it took me THIS LONG to get to replying to this but i wanted to do it JUSTICE cause i love this ask with all my heart it speaks to my very soul :)) (i do apologize for this getting really really long, though)
lena and morgana!! they're so similar and yet so different at the same time it's so awesome to delve into their characters and try to dissect what's happening in those brilliant heads of theirs like i could write thesis papers analyzing their characters without ever getting bored. they're just so special to me :,)
what would an interaction between them look like, though? hmmmm i guess it depends on the context of the interaction like why would they be in the same room in the first place? has morgana been reincarnated? what is she doing in national city? or is lena the one who crossed the pond and went to england? are we talking canon s6 lena who has magic? has she gone to england to get closer to her witch ancestors? IS MORGANA HER WITCH ANCESTOR? DID SHE ACCIDENTALLY/ON PURPOSE RAISE HER FROM THE DEAD? i think the concept of morgana being lena's ancestor is super interesting cause it would influence lena's opinion on arthur and merlin and camelot in general. so, if we consider the connection between them ancestral, i think their interactions would be reverent (at least on lena's end) and morgana would (maybe after initial reluctance or hostility) sort of accept lena as her descendant and her protégé and teach her all sorts of magic. lena's part in helping morgana adjust to the modern world would also be a huge aspect i feel like cause morgana would be so confused with modern technology and the fact that technically there are no more "kingdoms" and camelot is no more so what exactly is her purpose in this modern world? lena helping her through that (or at least trying to) would form a huge part of their relationship i think.
buuuuuut if the context is different like maybe lena has discovered a way to time travel and she finds herself in camelot or in the woods around morgana's s4 cabin and morgana happens to stumble upon her there, it would be different. because WHY is there a woman in morgana's image in the STRANGEST clothes walking around with glowing objects (technology) that aren't inherently magical (morgana can't feel the magic in them) but MUST be because this isn't just something anyone can conjure up?? no matter the time we're talking (s1/2/3/4) i feel like morgana would react very negatively until lena can earn her trust or at least convince her she's not a sick joke merlin/emrys is playing on morgana. i also think lena would be wayyy out of her depth in medieval england like yeah she's a genius but she eats salads and fast food and has a bajillion-dollar penthouse equipped with all the latest technologies so living without the luxuries of the modern world would be a CHALLENGE even for her so i think it'd be fun to see morgana's reaction to lena absolutely STRUGGLING to get through her day.
once we're past the logistics of the interaction and the awkward introductions and general initial animosity phase and they FINALLY get to talking, they'll have lots of things in common. like you mentioned, they both have this innate hatred for their brothers, but with lena, lex has caused her unimaginable trauma and pain and despite all of that she's managed to get back up and say to his face that yeah she hates him but she loves herself more and that she's finally letting go of that hatred to go live her life. with morgana, however, that hatred for arthur has become all-consuming, even though it only stemmed from uther sort of unknowingly pitting them against each other forever by acknowledging arthur as his son and heir but never morgana. morgana's hatred for uther extended to arthur and when uther died, arthur became the sole recipient of that hatred. unlike lena, morgana doesn't have anyone to pull her out of the darkness, to show her that even when family fails to understand you and/or accept you, there are friends who will. she doesn't have that support system, and so she succumbs to the darkness and the hate and lets it eat away at her soul. this is where they differ, in my opinion, lena had a support system and the innate strength to stop the generational trauma cycle, while morgana had neither (doomed by the narrative from the start maybe i'll just cry).
this part's a bit controversial cause it depends on your headcanons and who you ship and stuff but another thing i feel was detrimental is UNREQUITED LOVE. lena's half-hearted "villain" arc only happened when she found out that her best friend had been keeping such a huge part of her identity from her (which isn't something you would do to someone you love) so she was like fuck it i'm going to fix humanity cause you guys SUCK. but when she eventually realized that wait, maybe kara does actually love her and care about her and she didn't entirely mean to hurt her (whether you read it as platonic or romantic, her love was requited) she went back and apologized and everything (even though she didn't need to apologize she's never done anything wrong in her life). morgana's brand might as well just be unrequited love, on the other hand. it goes as far back as her biological father (bro didn't even acknowledge her as his daughter), and extends to pretty much everyone she may or may not have been in love with (whether you ship her with gwen (the only right answer) or merlin or even the dumbass alvarr guy). she's been made to feel unlovable her whole life and at some point she believes it and takes it at face-value as the truth, and that's part of what pushes her to extremes like the ones she goes to in the show. ("if i can't have love, i want power"). with both gwen and merlin they're both so devotedly loyal to arthur that even if i were in her shoes i'd get pissed off, so, since she doesn't believe that they'll ever be loyal to her just because, she tortures and brainwashes merlin to get him to do her bidding, and she kidnaps gwen and brainwashes her to get her "old friend" back, because, in the state that she's in by s5, she doesn't believe that anyone will ever be devoted to her for HER, so she forces them to be. this concept of never having love requited voluntarily plays such a huge part in shaping morgana's character and making her that much different from lena, in my opinion.
i could go on and on about the implications of the dark tower episode and every word morgana said to gwen, but that's a story for another post because this one is already getting waaay too long.
ANYWAY i may have strayed from the point a few times BUT I JUST HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THEM, OKAY? thank you so much for this ask it was so much fun to answer and AS ALWAYS if you want to further discuss morgana or lena or both and speculate on how they would meet/interact i'm always up for a fun discussion 😼

When I say Supercorp parallel the Miraculous Lovesquare I don't mean "Marinette parallels Kara and Adrien parallels Lena" I mean "Lena and Kara parallel both Marinette and Adrien."
Because yes, Adrien and Lena both can do fencing. Yes, both were raised by rich shitty families. Yes, both don't know how to handle emotions that but they try. Yes, they've made terrible decisions. YES, they had unhealthy reactions to secrets. But also, Adrien and Kara both are massive dorks, both say some weird one liners before fighting a villain, are absolute sunshine children, both hold on to everyone they care for because they lost people, they will choose that one (referring to Marinette and Lena) over everyone else (remember how Adrien leaves a villain to catch Ladybug and how Kara was willing to just let poisonous chemicals drop to the reservoir to save Lnea), they do their best to go through another day with a smile and being kind while knowing anything can happen anyway AND both aren't human.
Marinette and Kara are both artistic as shit. Yes, both are clumsy dorks, they were raised by good people and have someone who knows that they're the hero and helps them with it (referring to Alya and Alex, and they were both bullied growing up. But also, Marinette and Lena both can turn whatever item this is into something that can be useful, they're both paranoid as shit so they think ahead in most situations, they both need a lot of reassurance when they mess up because their self esteem relies on whether they failed or not AND they keep on trying to do better no matter how much they fuck up.
Yeah, Adrien's backstory matches Lena; and Marinette's backstory matches Kara. But personality wise, it's a mix.

Oh yeah, I updated this the other night and forgot to post the update here! Andrea is being thrown for a loop with Sam determined to believe there's good in her. Yes, this is a parallel with Kara and Lena. EXCERPT:
Sam woke early to make breakfast for Ruby and Andrea, the latter who still lay on the sofa. She must have gotten up in the night to wash up, as she was without makeup, and had chosen a book to read from one of Lena’s many bookcases.
Without her earplugs, Sam found herself distracted the sounds of National City, a discordant series of melodies and harmonies that wasn’t dissimilar to Metropolis. Ruby and Andrea’s heartbeats overruled the sounds of traffic, of bird’s wings, cats mewing and dogs barking, and steady conversations along sidewalks.
She flipped the pancake and hummed along to a neighbor three floors down that had their windows open, blasting Taylor Swift.
So when Andrea spoke behind her, Sam jumped and nearly threw the pancake into the ceiling. She caught it just in time in the pan. Turning she smiled, sheepishly. Andrea wore the clothes Sam had given her last night — sweatpants from National City’s university and a T-shirt with the words: banking on ice cream. So very different from the polished and put-together Andrea that had met her at the restaurant yesterday.
“Sorry.” Andrea held up her hands. “Just thought I’d ask if you needed help.” She shifted uneasily, her tone more apologetic than anything else.
“Nah, I’m almost done. Hungry?” Sam piled the last of the pancakes onto the plate next to the stove. “Made enough for three.” Though she had to admit with her Kryptonian powers returning, Sam found herself far more hungry than normal. But then she’d always needed a higher caloric intake than most people. She supposed even magic couldn’t hide a Kryptonian metabolism. It made her wonder how much of her Kryptonian genes Ruby inherited since the pre-teen had a ridiculously high metabolism for her age.
Andrea shrugged. “Do you do this every morning?”
“On weekends. There’s not a lot of time on weekdays.” Sam handed one of the pancake plates to Andrea, who took it gingerly. She carried the rest, including the syrup to the table. “Got to get Ruby to school or practice and get to L-Corp before the first meeting of the day. Means I often throw together oatmeal or eggs since they’re faster.”
“Nice.” Andrea placed the plate on the table and hovered by one of the chairs. “This place. Is it yours?” A crinkle in her forehead and the uptick in her heartbeat gave away her anxiety at the question.
“Am a roommate here.” Sam figured half-truth was best.
Andrea stared at her. “Lena.”
Sam’s eyebrows rose. “Why do you think this is her place? Could be anyone's.”
“Her books.” Andrea gestured toward the living room that was partially blocked by a wall and door. “I recognized a few that I’d given her. Lesbian novels. I looked in them, and there’s my note to her in them still.” Andrea frowned and clenched the chair tighter. “She… kept them.”
“Hmmm.” Sam sighed. She hadn’t wanted Andrea to guess this was Lena’s place, but nothing for it now. “I see. Well, rest assured you have permission to stay here.”
“Wait, Lena gave permission?” Andrea’s eyes widened. “Why? I betrayed her.”
To have Andrea outright admit it startled Sam. Lena made it sound like Andrea would betray at a moment’s notice. Yet here she was being oddly honest. “She trusts me,” Sam said. She scooped pancakes onto three plates and added the bacon and eggs as a side to each. Holding out the plate, she smiled, gently at Andrea. “I’m not going to put what happened between you and her between us. I’d still like to build a friendship at least with you, if that’s all right.”
Andrea took the plate and stared down at it. “Sam… I’m not to be trusted. I will betray you.”
“Eh, I’ll take the risk.” Sam shrugged. “It’s not like I haven’t been in a bad situation before and barely got out of it alive. Sounds like that’s where you are.”
Read the entire series here.
