#lena x rio

[lena-in-a-red-dress]

Currently daydreaming about an au where post-finale Lena has a fellow witch girlfriend who loves and supports her craft, and even though Kara is jealous, she's still happy that Lena is loved by someone who treats her right.

Except that it's Rio, and Lena is on borrowed time.

Found these in my archives and now everything is so blurry…

[lenaluthorgays-blog]

One of Agatha’s biggest fears is that Nicky hates her and thinks she used him to get power, when in reality she likely killed other witches to feed him.

[yourlocalkatiesimp]

Death Becomes Her (Lena x Rio) Pt 1

When Lena meets Rio, it's magical.

Literally. The seedling Lena's planting in National City's first community garden bursts into bright green foliage in her hands the moment their eyes meet. Yeah, it's her fault-- she'd let her gaze linger a little too long. But her mortification eases into a thrill when the mystery woman's own seedling flourishes at a single word from its own planter.

Another green witch. At least, that's what Rio tells her, after they've exchanged names. It's not uncommon for some witches to be gifted in other disciplines as well, but it's clear that Lena's true affinity aligns with nature, and life. Like speaks to like, it would seem.

At first, they exchange numbers under the guise of Rio offering to answer any questions Lena may have in the future. But its not long until those answers come under the guise of coffee, then brunch, then dinner.

Before long, they're dating, and Lena is introducing Rio to the group. Rio is personable and friendly, and soon it's hard to imagine she hasn't been with them all along. She fits, in a strange way that Kara can't truly define. It's like she knows them, each of them, and they know her. But it's clear that she loves Lena, and Kara forces herself to be content with that-- she can love Lena in a different way.

She convinces herself that that's enough, as Lena and Rio slowly, swiftly, become Lena-and-Rio. It's enough to be Lena's friend, even if the title of 'best' friend seems to have shifted. But that's good, right? That's what all the intimacy experts say-- your significant other should be your best friend. It even makes sense, because Rio understands parts of Lena that Kara can scarcely wrap her brain around, like magic.

But no matter how she reasons it, Kara can't help but feel the loss. She accepts the fewer visits and infrequent invitations. She lets Lena team up with Rio on game night, and smiles for them when they win. A part of her says goodbye to the part of Lena she no longer has.

One night, Rio rises from the bed she shares with Lena. Her pajamas are soft and comfortable, somehow more intimate than nude skin. This is domesticity, admittance into Lena's life in a way that's been barred shut for so, so long.

Lena lays on her side, facing away from Rio. When Rio comes around the side of the bed, she finds Lena's lips almost turned up in a smile, content even in deep sleep. Happy.

With the barest touch, Rio reaches out to brush a lock of hair from where it's fallen across Lena's neck. Lena's breathing shifts slightly, but she doesn't wake. Not even when Rio leans down to press a kiss to the corner of Lena's lips.

Across the city, Kara senses the shift before she truly understands what she hears. Lena's heartbeat, her breaths, has thrummed at the back of her senses for so long she doesn't realize she still listens for it. But she hears a long, slow exhale-- a sigh that never resolves into another breath.

She's out her window without thinking, alarm pulsing through her veins. She bursts through the panes of Lena's windows and stands in shock as the wind whips through her hair, staring at the woman with half a skull for a face.

"Rio?"

There's sorrow in Rio's eyes, but also a deep understanding. An inevitability.

"I'm sorry, Kara."

Kara surges forward, intending to slam Rio through the wall, but her stiff-arm passes straight through the woman in a swirl of dark shadows. When Rio remains, Kara turns her attention to Lena, gathering her friend's unnaturally limp form into her arms.

"Who are you?" she asks, though in her heart Kara already knows.

"Death," Rio says, the word hissing in the dark.

"But--" Kara can still hear the thump of Lena's heart. "She's still..."

"Soon..." Rio's voice is tender. "She goes peacefully. Painlessly."

Kara scowls. She has scant seconds to think, an instant to decide.

She glares up at Rio in defiance.

"No."

[lenaluthorgays-blog]

Correct me if I’m wrong but has Agatha ever called Rio by her name during scenes? I genuinely can’t recall. If she hasn’t, maybe that’s because she just refers to Rio as Death

[lenaluthorgays-blog]

Knowing agatha she was somehow involved in Kink is my Karma’s and good luck babe’s creation

agatha and rio are so chappell roan casual music video coded like the siren can't stop killing people and neither can rio and agatha never could forgive rio even though thats her job and the siren ended up leaving to go back to killing these lesbians are killing me

‘FOLLIES’ TRIVIA

Sidney Guilaroff, Lucille Ball’s hair dresser, who takes responsibility for her famous ‘golden red’ for this movie, becoming her trademark color.

Although they appear in different segments, this is the only feature film collaboration between “I Love Lucy co-stars" Lucille Ball and William Frawley. Coincidently, Frawley's character in this film shares a striking similarity with his iconic character of Fred Mertz on “I Love Lucy.” In this film he plays a money-hungry curmudgeon of a landlord, much like the show. In the above photo, he appears with director Minnelli and co-star Brice. 

The horse ridden by Lucille Ball is the Lone Ranger's Silver!

Lucille Ball was actually fired by Ziegfeld from his road company production of Rio Rita in the 1930s.

In February 1956, Lucy and Desi appeared on “MGM Parade” to promote their MGM film Forever Darling. The show also included footage of Lena Horne singing from Ziegfeld Follies. 

Lucy also played a showgirl in pink in “Lucy Gets Into Pictures” (ILL S4;E19) aired on February 21, 1955. The scene was inspired by Ziegfeld’s legendary stage shows featuring beautiful women wearing elaborate costumes navigating long staircases. To solidify the comparison, Ricky says he is going to a meeting with Mr. Minnelli. Vincente Minnelli was one of the directors of Ziegfeld Follies. 

Lucy Ricardo had previously cavorted around in a lampshade in the manner of a Ziegfeld girl in both the unaired pilot and “The Audition” (S1;E6).

Ziegfeld Follies includes a sketch for Red Skelton called “When Television Comes” aka “Guzzler’s Gin” in which a (future) television spokesman gets increasingly sloshed on his product. This sketch was an obvious influence on Lucy’s Vitameatavegamin routine in “Lucy Does a TV Commercial” (ILL S1;E30) aired on May 5, 1952. 

Ziegfeld Girl Eve Whitney appeared on “I Love Lucy” episode “The Charm School” (ILL S3;E15). She used her own name for the character.  

The Telegraph Boy in "A Sweepstakes Ticket" Arthur Walsh - appeared on “I Love Lucy” in “Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined” (ILL S3;E11) as Arthur ‘King Cat’ Walsh. He teaches Lucy how to jitterbug. 

The first Judge in the “Pay the Two Dollars” James Crehan also played the Police Detective on “I Love Lucy in “The Great Train Robbery” (ILL S5;E5) first aired on October 31, 1955.

Porky, a voice on the telephone in “Number Please” Peter Lawford, played “Password” against Lucille Ball on September 24, 1964.  At the time, Lawford was married to President Kennedy’s sister, Patricia. On November 26, 1968, Ball was a guest on “The Tonight Show” when Peter Lawford was sitting in for Johnny Carson.

Chorus Boy Bert May appeared as a solo dancer on “The Lucy Show” in “Lucy and Tennessee Ernie Ford” (TLS S5;E21) in February 1967. 

In the dressing room, Lucy jokes with Fanny Brice, one of the funniest women in showbusiness.  This was the only time Ball and Brice collaborated and was Brice’s last film. 

Ziegfeld’s follies began on Broadway, so it was appropriate that the show featured past and future Broadway musical stars:

Lucille Ball ~ Wildcat (1960)

Carol Haney ~ The Pajama Game (1954)

Tommy Rall ~ Call Me Madame (1950)

Fanny Brice ~ The Ziegfeld Follies 

Marion Bell ~ Brigadoon (1947)

Victor Moore ~ Anything Goes (1934)

There was a lot of material that was not filmed, but written and cast. Some of the original skits would have added “Lucy” performers Mickey Rooney, Ann Sothern, and Van Johnson to the cast.
