Happy Valentine’s Day!!!❤️❤️❤️

Believe it or not, I dreamed of this scene last night, so I had to do something about it…

not to be dramatic but katie in this fit could have me in a choke hold and i’d thank her

Hundred episodes later and it’s still cool seeing it. (2012 / 2019 / 2021)

supercorp and coming out at game night? ft lucy saying “give me the 20, danvers” “you bet on us?!”??

After… everything, Lucy flew home to National City and Lena started coming to Game Night.

Because Lena and Kara had become even more inseparable, and because Lucy needed to be with her family. 

It was strange for Alex, at first. Game Night had always been a more active version of Sisters’ Night; then, it was James and Winn, and sometimes Lucy, which started out feeling forced and uncomfortable and making Alex realize how little time she spent with people other than Kara outside of work, but then… then started feeling an awful lot like… well, like family. 

Then, Maggie joined in – at Kara’s invitation, after Rick Malverne – which had been stressful and scary but ultimately, wonderful. And even more like family.

And now, with Lena, Alex is… cautious. Because what if Lena is angry with Maggie for arresting her? Alex has been unusually frightened of fights since the tank, because, after all, she got into that elevator alone after Maggie and Kara tore into each other… 

Kara promises her that it’ll be fine, that Lena isn’t holding a grudge. That she needs a family, especially now, especially after the way she was played, the way she was used, the way she saved the Earth and was terrified that she’d have lost Kara in the process.

And… it is fine. More than fine, really.

Because Lena Luthor? Lena is funny. She and Winn won’t stop bringing little gadgets into the games to help them get the upper hand, won’t stop babbling, talking over each other, hands on each other, giggling in a way that Alex never imagined Lena Luthor could giggle, about the new tech they were working on, about the tech they wanted to dream up together.

Winn keeps whipping out napkins to write notes on for later, until Lena reminds him with an arched eyebrow that he could always use his phone.

Alex laughs as Lucy drinks, as James and Maggie whisper to each other. She leans into her little sister, who was also sitting back, taking it all in. Her family.

“You okay?” Alex nudges her, because she hasn’t been okay, lately. But around Lena, she seems… better. Happier. She even smiles and laughs, now.

Kara sighs and lets her head drop onto her sister’s shoulder. “Happy to be with everyone,” she tells her, and she doesn’t have to tell her the underlying implication.

That everyone is alive. Shockingly.

Alex nods quietly, and watches Lena’s eyes catch Kara’s. Feels Kara’s body sit up. Watches Lena bite her lip before looking away almost coyly. 

Alex wonders for a moment if she’d hear Kara’s heartrate increase if she had Kara’s superhearing.

But she doesn’t have her superhearing, so she has to just wonder. Lucy and Maggie have their opinions, she knows, but she’s just waiting to hear it from Kara herself.

She doesn’t have to wait long. 

Kara tells her before she tells everyone else. 

Tells her that she’s bi. That she hadn’t said anything earlier because she didn’t know, and then because she didn’t want to take away from Alex’s own coming out. But she has to tell her now, because… well, because she and Lena are dating, but Alex can’t tell anyone yet, because Lena’s not ready, but Lena knows Kara is telling her and oh Alex, please don’t be angry with me – 

Alex cuts her off with the longest, hardest hug they’ve shared in a while – while is saying something because their hugs have only grown lately – and promises not to say anything until Lena is ready.

Which turns out to be difficult, because Lena keeps coming to Game Nights. With everyone. Pretending not to be dating her little sister.

It amuses Alex, more than anything. Especially because Lucy and Maggie don’t officially know. 

So she sits through over a month of weekly Game Nights – all featuring Lena in attendance, looser than Alex had ever imagined she could be, Lucy jabbing Alex in the ribcage every time Kara and Lena’s hands brush, catching Maggie and Lucy playing a silent drinking game based on Kara and Lena’s interactions – without being able to say anything. 

Pretending she knows nothing.

Pretending she can’t bare to think about her little sister’s love and sex life, even though it’s almost all they’ve been talking about lately.

Pretending, that is, until Lena clears her throat and Kara nods and takes her hand.

Lucy practically spills her drink down her front.

Maggie does.

“Um, guys?” Kara asks to the already silent room.

Silent, that is, except for Winn, who’s still scooting Toad through Bowser’s Castle, his whole body moving along with the controls. 

They all wait, bemused, for him to notice that the only sound in the apartment is suddenly Mario Kart music. He pauses it and looks up.

“Wh – oh. Ohhhhhh.” He sees Kara and Lena’s hands, their fingers interlaced, and he purses his lips to contain his excitement.

“Guys, um… Lena and I wanted to tell you…” Kara adjusts her glasses, and Alex ignores Lucy’s persistent elbow at her side. “We’ve been seeing each other.” Another glasses adjustment. “Well, um, I mean, of course we’ve been seeing each other, I’m looking at her right now, I just… I really mean… Lena’s my girlfriend. And I’m her girlfriend.”

James smiles broadly at his folded hands, Winn reaches behind Alex to high five Maggie, and Lucy jumps up from her seat at the edge of the coffee table, knocking over a bowl of popcorn and utterly not caring.

“You owe me twenty bucks, Danvers!”

“You were betting on us?” Lena wants to know, and Alex shrugs with a laugh.

“Well, I wasn’t supposed to tell them that I knew, now was I?”

Kara and Lena nod, both grinning with relief, in concession, but Maggie and Lucy explode.

“You knew and you didn’t tell us?!”

“You let us play all those drinking games and you knew the whole time?”

“I thought we were friends!”

“I thought you were my fiancee!”

“I thought we were bonded for life after rescuing you from Cadmus – “

“To be fair, you also sent her there in the first place, Luce – “

“No one asked you, Olsen!”

“I love you, babe, but you’re totally sleeping on the couch tonight.”

It goes on, and on, and on, and Kara and Lena take the time to watch their friends bicker – bicker out of pure happiness that Kara is wearing that smile again, that they’ve gained another new family member again.

“Well, if I’d known the biggest problem anyone would have had with our relationship was a drinking game and a twenty dollar bet, I would have told them sooner,” Lena smiles into Kara’s lips, and the awwwwwwwwwww that rises from the Superfriends as they kiss is what finally ends the playful bickering.

I’m just over it. I fucking hate the toxicity in the uswnt. I never believed in Vlatko. I know good Coaches when i see one. He isn’t. He couldn’t handle the Olympics. He thinks his little friendlies with teams that barely leave their countries and have 0 money to invest are great to measure his team. He is delusional. He lacks a core team. Most of them are out. I won’t talk smack about any player in that roster but I don’t think it’ll end up being good for the US.

I just wish CP peace of mind and a full recovery. She doesn’t deserve this treatment.

But alas, all futbol federations are little mafias…iykwim. She’s better off.

a comic about meeting your younger self :)

Thank you for reading :)

Would you accept the flower?

“I felt like I wasn’t enough for a very long time, and then somehow I just decided that I was. And I decided that I was enough for me and if I wasn’t enough for him at the time, it wasn’t my fault and it wasn’t his fault either. And it still is nobody’s fault when I don’t fit with another person. Love is beautiful and soft and achy and harsh and I think I’ve decided that not many people deserve to make me feel those things. I think I decided who I’m going to let destroy me and who I’m not. You and I, we deserve that much, don’t you think? I have weak moments constantly. I’m still drowning in love that may or may not return but has been absent for years. Absolutely drowning in it. But I am enough for me and you are enough for you. And whoever is coming or coming back, whoever is for us, we will be enough for them too”
