Supergirl

The Fifth Wall by Black Tea and Bones

Word Count: 109,116

Fandom: Supercorp

Chapters: 28

Kara goes to bed with Mon-El, and wakes up with Lena Luthor.

But it isn't Kara’s bed, and they’re not in Lena’s apartment, and that is definitely not their baby... Right?

Someone makes a wish and Kara and Lena are now married with a child.  Hijinks ensue as they try to navigate through finding how to work together to fix the situation, with a baby in tow.  “Together” is the key word because every time they try to do things apart from the more the magic pushing them together. Such a great idea for a story.  Takes place right after Season 2  Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk.  If you have never read a supercorp story, this is a great starter fic!

WIP

With Carter's thirteenth birthday only months away, Cat Grant's mood--mercurial at the best of times--darkens as she tries and fails to find the perfect gift for her sweet, sensitive son. Kara Danvers, seeing her boss' distress, takes a spur-of-the-moment trip to Metropolis and to Cat's childhood home, hoping to enlist the help of Cat's mother, Katherine Grant.

When Kara returns to National City, she and Cat begin a journey of discovery--one that has the power to redefine what it means to be home.

I have read this story probably eight times since the first chapter was posted.  I am not a fan of WIP stories but there something about this story that I am willing to wait a year for the next update.  Starts with Kara trying to help Cat find the perfect gift for Carter that evolves to Kara finally getting brave enough to admit how she feels about Cat.  Another thing about this story that is rare is Cat and Kara are together by the end of the first chapter.  The first several chapters are super long (which I love but others might not) but the author shortens them to parts later on to fix that issue.  Very much a Romance + Family story.

When Kara arrived on Earth, she was greeted by her cousin and immediately whisked off to the Danvers. What if someone else was there when she first arrived, and this person found Superman's plan lacking... substance. As a reporter, talk show host and rising CEO, Cat Grant was used to getting her way, what makes the Man of Steel assume he was different?

OR

How would Kara/Supergirl be different if she grew up a Grant?

What I love about this story is that isn’t a romance story at all, it is very much a family story.  I am very much a Supercat fan but there is just something about Mama Cat that does something to me in this story.  We see several people make an appearance before the pilot episode.  The dynamics between all the characters are fantastic whether it is Lena and Cat or Kara and Maggie  Everyone has a part to play.  The romance between Kara and Alex doesn't come into play until the last act but I just felt like it was a bonus to the story.  Really well written.
