I originally had parts of this tale from Lena's POV, but then decided it was better to stay in Kara's POV. I wanted to also show how DID can make a person's behavior seem inconsistent in the mood and behavioral changes. Internally, it is consistent as each alter has a specific way of behaving, thinking, and expressing themself. But to an outsider who doesn't know about DID, it may seen confusing.
EXCERPT:
Kara's Tale Part 3
One of Kara's professors told her that stories weave people together. Through the shared experience of a tale, people understand, hope is built, and a new landscape grows. With truth (shokh) so out of reach due to her secret, Kara adapts to the realm of stories. She devours books at the library, reads magazines by the armload, and stitches together an understanding of Western America's version of story-telling. Digging further embroils her in storytelling throughout cultures, each a different flavor, and hold markedly different techniques from another. And yet, all shine with overlapping concepts rooted in humanity's tendency toward cooperation, curiosity, care, and control.
Within such vaulted halls of writing, Kara Danvers accepts the junior journalist position from Cat Grant.
"Finally. Will get you out of my hair." Cat waves her toward the bullpen. "Shoo. You're Snapper's problem now." A smile creases her stern face despite her dismissive words. Being Cat's assistant had been a stressful job. Cat constantly pushed her in ways that made her anxious. Often fails to call her by her correct name half the time — Kara thinks it was some sort of weird powerplay that humans do — but she always does right by Kara. This is no different.
Snapper Carl hunches as if caught in an eternal stooping to examine covers. He nibbles on a cigar, but it's never lit, and his balding hair is slicked back. His sleeves are perpetually rolled to his elbows regardless of weather. When Kara walks up to him to greet him as a junior reporter, he pulls a silver pocketwatch from his vest pocket and taps it. "Late, kiddo. Go talk to James and Siobhan. Get me a write up on the artists at that ridiculous fashion convention."
"Will do." Kara blinks at him, confused. She expected training like her first day as Cat's assistant. When he glares at her and taps his watch again, she hurries across the bullpen to where James stands by the copier. "Hey, Snapper said you'd help me out?"
"Kara, you took the role?" James grins and slaps her shoulder. "Glad you're joining us. Let me show you your desk, and let's get started on that fashion convention."
Kara has superspeed, but this whirlwind spins her out of calibration. Her first few days are a crash course in journalism. She hopes to do investigative journalism, but Snapper takes one look at her, grunts, and tells her to earn it first. She helps James and Siobhan cover the convention, sets up her desk, and sits in as a participant in the daily meetings, rather than just a note-taker. It feels liberating almost, and it gives her a healthy distraction from her simmering resentment toward Kal.
She checks her phone often, but Lena does not text. At some point, she receives a text from Alex instead, and guilt saturates her. Technically, Kara-Z and Alex fought, but Kara-D knows Alex won't accept that excuse.

DAMMIT HEDGI DAY 2024!
Tumblr media
Prompts are now OPEN
What is Dammit Hedgi Day?
Dammit Hedgi Day, the 25th of September, marks the 9th anniversary of the first "Dammit Hedgi" tag on one of my angst fics. Every September I accept [angsty, typically] prompts for three weeks, and then post a massive amount of oneshots and ficlets. Prompt fills range from 200-2000 words, and as the Poll dictates, will start being posted on September 25th
What Fandoms can be prompted for?
Dammit Hedgi Day started with the Flash and DCTV, but has grown! Previous years have seen ficlets for: The Flash (up to mid season 6? I make no promises after that) Supergirl (season 1) Legends of tomorrow (first 2 seasons) Stargirl (all three seasons) Leverage+ Leverage Redemption Blue Beetle (2023) Into the Spiderverse (ish) My Adventures With Superman Young Justice Big Hero 6 Avatar the Last Airbender The Librarians Books of Bayern and assorted original RPG character content That said, I'm not strictly limited to these! I've started watching Stargate SG1, and will accept prompts based on that UP TO MID SEASON 4. Do NOT ask me about things beyond the end of s4, I'm trying to be unspoiled. If you've seen me talk positively about a media, you can ask for it, essentially. I may not fill everything, but I'll try.
What kinds of prompts?
Originally an ANGST fest, it can get a bit more broad especially in recent years. Ideally: send me a fandom/ two characters and a line of dialog like one from a promptlist below OR fandom/ characters and a vague concept-- "Sokka in a time loop" is vague! "Leverage, Daemon au for the Big Bang job" is vague. "Stargirl, Rick and Cindy: "I'm never going to trust you" " is vague. Two full paragraphs that detail who says the line and everyone's feelings on the matter and the outcome is not vague. If you're not sure if something is too detailed, you can always send it in and see, though. Crossovers welcome. DHD is a smut-free zone, and it’s my day so  I will write about characters with my viewpoints so prompt with caution if you like a character I do not :)  You may attempt to rig your prompts for fluff but do not count on it. Do not expect shipping, this is a genfic event. A few ships may slip through at my discretion, y'all know who I Like. You can send me a couple characters and an angst prompt from a list like  this one or This one,  Or this ….or  if there’s a whump post out there that grabs at you, you can use that. If we've talked about an AU, you can prompt that! If I've made a post like " hey neat concept for [show]:...." you can ask for some of that! If there was a prompt from past years you liked and want More Of? (roundups for 2020 , 2021, 2022, 2023) hell yeah! Canon suffering!! Aus make everything worse!! Missing moments, what-ifs, alternate perspectives! As always, everything will be tagged with Dammit Hedgi Day and Dammit Hedgi Day 2024 for blocking the tag purposes.

I think a lot about how my experience of watching Supergirl is different from those who saw the show as it was airing.
I blazed through the entire show in a few weeks, and knew in advance that Kara and Lena had a big fallout. And going through at that pace... the Rift made itself central in my mind in many ways. (If you read my fics, you've probably noticed 🤣.)
Then I got encouragement to write my Archaeologist AU, and I thought... why not. I started writing.
But my brain started frizzing out. I was so embedded in the Rift that I had a hard time imagining a Lena before her various betrayals (Andrea, Rhea, Eve, Kara, etc). What does Lena look like when she's trusting and optimistic? She's still cynical, but she's hopeful too...
So I paused on that to write my Lena character study. In part because I had these notes about her time at MIT that seemed fun, but it was also critically necessary to finishing the archaeology AU. Because Lena wasn't always the hurt and closed-off person that she became in season 5. (That fic didn't get a lot of attention, and I didn't expect it to - but it really helped me internalize a softer Lena.)
And now it feels full circle in a way, in that I'm writing a real AU (unlike the archaeology one, my Aviation AU has a human Kara). The character study and the other AU were sort of a bridge.
I think a lot of people got to spend more time with the more trusting, optimistic Lena of season 2 than I did. I'm guessing that Lena's villain era wasn't even the expectation when people watched the ups and downs of the pre-Rift in season 3 and 4.
It's just interesting to think about, how I'm circling back to an earlier Lena, when I think it's the Lena that most of the fandom internalized for a very long time.

I had an idea for a SuperCorp arranged marriage AU where to resolve the Luthers vs Supers feud Supergirl and Lena Luther are made to get married. (The plot twist is that Kara and Lena already secretly knew each other and fell in love and realized this was the only way their families would allow them to be together.) I was having fun thinking about it, but then I hit a snag: taxes.
If Lena is technically (and very publicly) married to Supergirl, and not Kara Danvers, how do they file their taxes without revealing Kara's identity? Kara Danvers has a W-2 and a SSN, but Lena has to file with Supergirl, who doesn't want to be revealed to be Kara Danvers.
I know this is fanfic and I could probably ignore this question (and I'm probably never going to write it anyway) but my brain wull not let me continue until I have a satisfactory answer to this question.
I know technically Kara reveals her identity by the end of the show making the problem a moot one, but this is more season 2 timeline.

Fanfic Writer Questions!
Thanks for the tag, @fazedlight and @thatonebirdwrites
1- How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 16
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
356,960
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Supergirl – Arrowverse/ DC Comics: Primarily Supercorp, secondarily Dansen, Brainia, and J’M’zz, and I have one AgentReign with secondary Supercorp.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
PRIDE and Prejudice – Super gay retelling of Jane Austen’s classic. Every kudos equals $1.00US to a LGBTQIA2S charity I make at the conclusion of Pride month (June) each year (teen)
Tell Me It’s Not Too Late – Post-S4, Lillian believes Supergirl is responsible for Lex’s death. Lena rushes to J’onn’s for game night, to confront Kara on her identity, only to find she’s nowhere to be found (teen)
I Believe in a Thing Called Love – Full alternate Season 6 rewrite (teen)
Wouldn’t It Be Nice – 50 First Dates movie AU (teen)
How Lost We Are – Lena is placed by her Witness Protection team (Maggie, Kelly, and Lucy) in Midvale as a flower shop owner where she meets teacher Kara and coffee/bookshop owner Jess, among others (mature)
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yes, I do usually respond, though not always right away. I enjoy chatting about my fics, so don’t hesitate to ask questions, but I don’t give out spoilers though.  
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
When She’s Gone, the Darkness Comes – Oof. It was so sad I had to write a second chapter. I much prefer happy endings (teen)
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
All of them have a happy ending of some kind, or they will once they’re completed. Though there are some with happy endings like Speak Now and Tis the Damn Season. Smut. I’m talking about smut (explicit)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Yeah, though I’ve been mostly lucky. I don’t know why people leave hate on any fics really. If you don’t like something, close the tab.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes. It started as a small scene here or there when it was a natural progression of the fic, but now I occasionally right full smut fics and pwp like those found here (explicit)
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
Kind of, but the characters are all from within the Arrowverse/ DC Comics universes somewhere.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of. I don't understand why someone would do this. Please respect writers.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes. I Believe in a Thing Called Love is also in Spanish Creo en una cosa llamada amor (teen)
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I’m currently working on one with @thatonebirdwrites, though it's not published. It’s a Supercorp fic where Kara is a building inspector and when she goes to inspect Lena’s home, she meets Lena’s daughter to tells her the floor is lava, so naturally Kara has to ensure that issue gets resolved.  
14. What's your all time favorite ship?
Supercorp. But I do love most wlw ships
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I intent to finish all of my active WIPs. I have some WIP ideas that may or may not ever get going, but once I start a fic, I intend to finish it.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I have no idea… I guess easter egg type stuff or like blending canon into storylines. If your a reader and there's something you think is a strength I have, let me know.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Actually writing. Words be hard. And it's hard to find the time.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I do it sometimes, probably not well. I like to include the translation in the fic (unless the characters themselves aren’t supposed to understand until later). But I'm sure the translations aren't fully right as I only use google translate and the Kryptonian dictionary.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Supercorp. I started writing fiction in Dec 2020. Before that it was all scientific research papers for uni.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
I suppose What Has Been Lost (Mature). It was what started this crazy adventure, has been the most challenging piece, and my longest (still ongoing). It truly blends lore and characters from across the Arrowverse and DC Comics into a human world and original storyline.
For Tags, if you'd like to participate: @fyonahmacnally @casualsavant @luthordamnvers @itsalliebitheway @innamorament0

should i poke the bear and ask for cwsg for the top 3 ask game? 🥴
consider the bear poked!
top 3 favorite characters: The legendary Lena Luthor, my king from the future Querl Dox, and uhhh I'm actually not sure who's third? Could be Red Daughter, could be James, could be Nia. Could even be Eve who fascinates me despite being underwritten. IDK. Depends on my mood. ...And actually if we count him as a Supergirl character and not as a walking backdoor pilot then it might just be Clark. I do like Clarky boy.
top 3 least favorite characters: Mon-El obviously, Ben Lockwood who Manchester Black should've gotten to strangle with his bare hands, and...there are several other annoying misogynists I could list here but I'm actually going to give this spot to Overgirl because it's still so baffling to me that none of the higher-ups thought, 'hey, maybe we shouldn't make a crossover where AU versions of Supergirl and Green Arrow are actual literal Nazis.'
top 3 otps: Kara/Lena, Lena/James, Brainy/Nia
top 3 notps: Kara/Mon-El is a no-brainer, Kara/William was a flop, and I can't believe it even needs to be said but. Kara/Alex. No.
top 3 brotps: Lena & Brainy my beloved <333 And I like Lena & Sam's friendship as well. Honestly a lot of the relationships in this show are great in theory but a little thin in actual execution, but I enjoy reading fanfics where Lena is good friends with Kelly, Nia, and/or iconic queen Jess the secretary. [I wish I could give a brotp for Kara but honestly I think most of her relationships suffer greatly from how they write her character.]
top 3 favorite episodes/chapters/scenes/games in series: My favorite is definitely 4.16 "The House of L." Bonus points for epic title also, like, that's an iconic pun right there. I look fondly on 4.11 "Blood Memory" as well which I think is probably Nia's strongest outing on the show and also is an episode that actually bothers to do something interesting with the Danvers sisters relationship. And in terms of episodes that are consistently entertaining I do really enjoy a significant chunk of 5.13 "It's a Super Life" although it's tainted by the terrible ending (as well as the foreknowledge of what comes after). [You might be thinking: what about XYZ Season 2 episode? To which I sadly must respond: Mon-El.]
top 3 other things u think ppl who like this thing should watch/read/play: I'm going to refrain from recommending other Arrowverse shows because I think that's too easy. But I do think my recommendations would depend on what you liked or didn't like about the show? If you like light-hearted superhero shenanigans you should watch DC Super Hero Girls (2019-2021). If you were frustrated by the show's surface-level pop feminism then you should watch Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997). If Lena Luthor's character type fascinates you then you should watch Severance (2022-ongoing). [If you're in it for Katie McGrath I can't help you, that woman was cursed by a witch long ago to only be in the worst shows you've ever heard of.]
my rating of this media out of 3, with 0 being lowest and 3 being highest: uhhh 1? idk. it's not 0

Twenty questions for fic writers
thanks for the tag @lowkeyed1!
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 53 without my podfic only works
2. What's your total AO3 word count? 195,236
3. What fandoms do you write for? According to my front page, the fandoms I write the most for are Haven (7) Ted Lasso (6) Fandom - Fandom (6) Teen Wolf (5) Our Flag Means Death & Willow (4)
I'm fine with Haven being my number one but I'd like to bump Teen Wolf off there. My Willow fic will overtake it soon but I still need another fandom to push it off completely!
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
A Wedding of Errors - Teen Wolf, Allison/Lydia, Rated T - Wedding Planner AU and my first (and only?) Big Bang fic! It had beautiful at and I still follow the artist though it looks like the post got deleted in a blog rebrand or something.
Not a Rebound - Supergirl, Winn/James, Rated E - Post season 2 episode 1 smut I wrote to make myself feel better after they nerfed Kara/James for no reason! (we know the reason 😑)
No Time Like the Present - Young Justice, Jamie/Bart, Rated G - Short little future fic of Bart having a panic attack and Jamie helping him out. First time I wrote something and was like wow that was like writing writing!
Uninvited - Elementary, Gen Sherlock & Watson - pod together project I had to ask for a co-writer to help pinch hit this for me because I was struggling. It was strange to co-write, especially with a stranger, but it was interesting and the podficcers seemed to have fun!
ShapeShift - Teen Wolf, Stiles/Danny, Rated T - AU based on a Bollywood movie I found on Netflix and became obsessed with called Pyaar Impossible. Also a pod together project!
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Sometimes. I like that ao3 has the unread comments on your front page, so I like to keep them there so I can see them and smile at them when I'm scrolling through the suggested marked for later stuff. If someone has commented multiple times, I'll usually thank them on the most recent one rather than replying to all of them. Of course if someone asks a question I'll answer. Otherwise it depends on my mood.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I was gonna say I try not to leave fics on too an angsty note but then I remembered Garder le Silence my Harry Potter pod together that's an episode of Potterwatch during book 7. It's pretty moody all the way through.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Probably A Wedding of Errors. It's the only fic with an epilogue so you actually have a little time after the couple gets together. Hmm should I write more epilogues? 🤔
8. Do you get hate on fics? I got an angry comment on Wedding saying it was a bad f/f fic because I spend too much time on the side m/m/m love triangle. Honestly that was something I was worried about and if the person had just been disappointed, I would've understood but they were just mean so fuck em.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? a little! increasingly more so last month lol some light d/s, with a lot of silliness and communication
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? nah I don't love the idea of crossovers. Usually I'd rather have a full AU
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? i don't think so?
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes! Wedding was translated into Russian in 2015, two years after I wrote it and the translator made a little banner for it!
Tumblr media
😭 it is so crazy to think someone thought about my fic so much they put it in another language! I am in awe of them. Umi no Iruka you can ask anything of me. You can throw me into battle like a pokemon. I am in your debt.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Just Uninvited!
14. What's your all-time favorite ship? Bakugou Katsuki/Midoriya Izuku from My Hero Academia. I have never written a fic for them and I probably never will. It's a classic case of, if I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. 🥺
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? Hmm well I don't usually post anything unless I've finished it. I did start a series of fics for a glee rare pair but I am nOT going back to that. I have the last installment in my Winn gets fucked series like 90% done I literally just need them to fuck and I can post it. I have a couple Haven WIPs I probably won't go back to unless the hyperfixation comes back in a big way.
16. What are your writing strengths? Dialogue, calling back to things earlier in the fic, estimating the word count of a story, which I didn't think was a strength but lowkeyed said it was their weakness so i guess!
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Description of places blegh, coming up with events for people to do between plot points, describing how people move and gesture? I can see things so clearly in my head it's so hard to describe! it's like "and then they do the face they did in episode 6 where they were like hmnmm you know??" impossible! I should've become an artist!
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I would love to if I knew the language well enough but unfortunately I'm english only. I've thrown in a few lines sparingly but I think there's definitely some cool stuff that can happen if it's used right by someone who understands the language well.
19. First fandom you wrote for? I think Jimmy Neutron? I got into fandom young lol
20. Favorite fic you've written? Whatever I'm currently working on is my favorite! I love creating so much and I'm ecstatic imagining all the scenarios and tweaking them over and over and living in their heads and surprising myself when I come up with things I didn't plan! So by that measure my favorite is my unpublished Cyrano inspired romcom but if we're going published, I of course have to go with Multivocal, my heart ❤️ or perhaps A Familiar Sound, my soul! ✨

My Marvel/DC crossover AU No One Asked for
Read the title. Here’s the layout.
This is an AU I’ve been sitting on for about two or three years now, and often revisit to make some changes. While this isn’t something I really shelved, I am unlikely to write any of the stories down. 
I still keep a lot of what I did write in my notes. From this AU I wrote down several prompts, some of which I already shared in other posts.
----
1. You'd think combining the Arrowverse and DCEU alone is gonna be a hassle, but when I wrote things down, the actual changes are pretty small.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The main events of the Arrowverse, DCEU, and MCU remain otherwise the same, there are a few small adjustments made here and there. Some suspension of disbelief is required. Birds of Prey was the hardest one to adapt.
Most changes are “Who plays what character ?”  
Of course, because this is a fanfic AU, we can just say "The Other Darin" trope is at play. Henry Cavill’s Superman ? Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman ? Same deal as Eric Norton/Mark Ruffalo’s Banner, or Terrence Howard/Don Cheadle’s Rhodes.
With that all said, this AU treats Grant Gustin's Barry Allen is treated as the “canon”. The indefinitely postponed upcoming Flash movie is disregarded entirely. We all know why.
Tumblr media
Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor is also treated as his "canon" character, but he initially had the same traits and role as Eisenberg’s Luthor. I like to think Eisenberg!Luthor was fronting as “the eccentric young mogul” while Cryer’s represents Luthor going masks off.
Some fan casting is bigger issues. Mostly "casting" Diana Laurel Lance, between Katie Cassidy or Jurnee Smollett, for far reasons too complicated to discuss here.  
And finally, Zack Snyder’s Justice League is treated as canon.
2. “But where was X superhero during Y's events ?”
A lot of these events would have coincided with each other.
In this AU, Iron Man/2, The Incredible Hulk and Thor would have taken place between/around the first two seasons of Arrow. The present day events of Man of Steel would have coincided with The Avengers. Batman V. Superman and Suicide Squad would take place around the time of The Dark World and The Winter Soldier.
Age of Ultron would coincide with Zack Snyder's Justice League - also taking place between seasons one and two of The Flash, and before Supergirl's first season.
Up to speed, Barry ?
So, here’s some of the prompts I came up with for the AU.
1. Unlike Supergirl, Superman wasn't an active superhero when Kara came to Earth, but it was around the time Clark was wandering the world. During this time, Clark reached out to the Danvers family to help him understand his powers, much like the Arrowverse. 
Tumblr media
As it so happens, Carol Danvers turns out to be Jeremiah's sister, which is how they help Clark understand his powers. Clark would build a bridge of trust with the Danvers' and brought Kara to them, as he wasn't in the right headspace to look after a child. As a result ? Kara grew up with Carol Danvers as an “Awesome Aunt”.
Tumblr media
We’d also have a Superman prequel, also serving as a Captain Marvel crossover. For such as a story, I’d picture Ronan as the de-facto Big Bad, showing him falling out of favor with the Kree, before joining Thanos.
2. I wrote a post based on this AU, but I had this one idea of various WLW prompts for Diana/Wonder Woman. You can read the long version here.
Tumblr media
It focused on what Wonder Woman was up to over the decades, especially those she romanced. The most prominent being Wondercarter, Wonderwidow and Superwondercorp.
In this version of Captain America: The First Avenger ? Wonder Woman was considered a battlefield urban legend, and a partial inspiration for the super soldier project. After the events of Agent Carter, Diana would become acquainted with Howard and Maria Stark, and ends up staying with Peggy and Angie as a temporary house guest on the Stark Estates.
How long Diana was involved with them isn't elaborated, but I see Tony having memories of an “Aunt Diana” babying him from when he was a little kid. Cuz we all know she would.
Tumblr media
I don't see Tony reuniting Diana until well after he becomes Iron Man. Probably after Civil War or Infinity War. At the very least, Diana ends up another one of Morgan Stark's honorary aunts. Diana would totally be one of those aunts who’d tell Tony’s people embarrassing stories of him from when he was tot.
Another idea I had involved Sarah Rogers being Steve Trevor's sister, and her naming her son after her late brother. But I was pretty iffy about that. It came off as too nepotistic, and I felt Diana should have minimal, if any ties to Steve Rogers. Wonder Woman being the inspiration for the super soldier project should be enough, right ? 
3. This one's gonna get me fucking lynched...
So, it's come to my attention that The Batman 2022 was considered as a DCEU prequel early in development. At the risk of being mauled by both Battinson and Batfleck stans, I'm applying that here.
Tumblr media
In this AU, an altered version of The Batman occurred, the main difference being it was set in the late 90′s to early 2000′s. Technology adjusted accordingly, and the Riddler’s platform is old web forums, such as IRC chat (or if set around 2003, MySpace).
Anyways, Battison would have represented Bruce Wayne in his early career as Batman when he first became a symbol of hope, while Batfleck represents his “Broken/Fallen Hero” stage. After all, you can't have a “Fall From Grace” period if you never had anything to fall from...
Tumblr media
*prepares myself for the pitches and torchforks*
4. As I said above, the “present day” events of Man of Steel would have taken place alongside The Avengers.
Zod's attack on Metropolis occurs at the same time as the Battle in New York. Neither Zod, nor Thanos and Loki were aware of each other beforehand; it was just dumb luck their invasions occurred at the same time! Still, people initially thought Zod, Loki and the Chitauri represented the same threat. 
Any attempts by S.H.I.E.L.D or the Avengers to look into Superman yields the same results as this scene.
youtube
As with the DCEU, Superman was a controversial figure at first, with the Avengers having mixed thoughts about him. Unlike Batman, they didn't act on their suspicions, beyond a few cautious encounters.
Iron Man 3 would have taken place between Man of Steel and Batman V Superman. Superman tried to to look into “The Mandarin”, and teamed up with Steve and S.H.I.E.L.D to do so, but they kept running into dead ends. They were unaware of Aldrich Killian’s conspiracy until after the fact.
5. This is also something I covered in my Wonder Woman WLW prompts. 
This AU's Infinity War takes place alongside Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths. It's retroactively implied that recreating the universe is what led to this world merger.  
Certain members of the Justice League - Wonder Woman, Batman, Aquaman, and Cyborg - anyone not with the Paragons, join the fight against Thanos, though don't do enough to affect the outcome. 
Out of them, Wonder Woman is the only survivor of The Snap and she helps the surviving Avengers - especially Natasha - and what's left of S.H.I.E.L.D hold down the fort for five years.
WonderWidow ensues.
Tumblr media
The Paragons survive the Snap because of their multiversal adventure; when they return to the recreated Earth, five years have passed. Agents of Shield is also canon to this AU, and its characters survive the Snap due to the time travel in season seven, returning to a Post-Blip world.  
The final fight with the Anti Monitor would have occurred at the same time as the one with Thanos. As with Infinity War, any members of the Justice League not fighting the Anti Monitor, join the fight against Thanos, albeit not affecting things in a significant way. The events of a Post Endgame/Crisis world remain unchanged, with minor exceptions.
But also Supercorp is canon here because I said so.
Tumblr media
While I’m at it, let’s talk the Superwondercorp arc I wrote.
Diana settles in Star City for a short “vacation” after keeping the world together for five years. There, Diana starts a love affair with Kara and Lena. Diana has an arc about opening her heart again, so soon after losing Natasha; whenever she loses a lover, it usually takes years or decades for her to open up again. When she develops feelings for Kara and Lena so quickly, she feels like she’s “betraying” Natasha.
Diana would later get involved when Gorr the God Butcher steps into the picture, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
6.  Birds of Prey was the hardest to include in this AU due to how radical difference between takes on the characters in the DCEU and Arrowverse. 
Here's what I'm working with.
With Helena Bertenili, I lean to her DCEU counterpart as being her “canon” character. Since I place Birds of Prey in a Post-Crisis/Endgame era, we could handwave it as being her history changing when the world's restored.
With the Black Mask, I had an (admittedly contrived) solution. This AU would have two Roman Sionis' - Sr. (Peter Outerbridge) and Jr. (Ewan McGregor). 
Tumblr media
McGregor's Sionis is written to be a decade or so younger than he is in Birds of Prey. Junior was far from Roman Sr's favorite child, alluding to his daddy issues Harley mentions. Following Roman Senior's downfall, Junior becomes obsessed with upstaging his father as the Black Mask, leading him to be the monstrous crime boss he was in Birds of Prey.
Then you got Dinah Laurel Lance, and her fan casting. I'm still flip flopping between Katie Cassidy and Jurnee Smollett, for reasons too complicated and distracting to go over here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The solution I'm leaning to is having Smollett's Dinah being a multiverse displaced individual, and she's adjusting to this new world when her Earth was destroyed by the Anti Monitor.
7. Stark Industries and Wayne Enterprises had history. Stark Industries bought stakes in Wayne in the late 90's and early 2000's, when Bruce wasn't as active with the company, but that partnership slowly dissolved when Obediah Stane was in the picture.
When Tony went public as Iron Man, along Stane’s crimes being exposed, Bruce Wayne cut further ties with Stark. Such a relationship would bring unwanted attention to the technology Wayne Tech is developing, putting too many identities at risk. Afterwards the only ties they had was that many Wayne employees were former Stark employees. 
This becomes a problem when Quinten Beck enters the picture. 
Tumblr media
Beck reaches out to a few disgruntled ex-Stark employees, many of which are working for Wayne. As part of the Mysterio conspiracy, they embezzle a billions from Wayne Industries, and steal its technology. As a distraction, they stage a heist on Wayne Tech, and frame the Joker for the deed.
Bruce isn't made aware of this until Mysterio goes public, quickly recognizing Beck as an former Stark employee he turned away due to him being a “flight risk”.
Come Far From Home/No Way Home, Batman is going into detective mode uncovering and dismantling the Mysterio conspiracy. This is part of what exonerates Peter, along with Matt Murdock’s own “investigations”.
Tumblr media
During Peter’s case, Batman tries to reach out to him; but Peter knew Batman's reputation (which has become more sketchy following BVS), and became very defensive in their encounter, despite Batman avoiding his past mistakes. 
Even so, Bruce had to attend a number of legal proceedings, regarding the Wayne employees, and he'd have to go underground as the investigation got too close to exposing the identities of his associates.
As a joke, we'd have a scene where Bruce (Affleck) and Happy (Favreau) are both at a meeting with Matt (Cox) and Foggy (Henson). It really doesn't amount to anything but a throwback to 2003's Daredevil; “Hey, look! It's the old Matt and Foggy interacting with the new ones! Ain't that a hoot ?!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While much of the Mysterio conspiracy was exposed by the trial and investigations, the only member to escape was William Ginter Riva. The last we see Riva, he's bound, gagged and being dragged through a warehouse by a couple of thugs towards the Joker, whose not amuse that Batsy hospitalized over something he didn’t do. 
The Joker then pulls out a crowbar and prepares to show Riva how he previously Batman off the deep end...
8.  As for this AU’s No Way Home. This one was a lot of fun.
Tumblr media
Peter has a little more public support here than he did in NWH, with several members of The Avengers and Justice League publicly vouching for him. Especially after Murdock and Wayne’s investigations.
Coincidentally, Peter's identity is doxxed the day after Kara Danvers revealed her own identity to the public. When Peter is exonerated, Kara and Catco become Peter's most vocal supporters, countering Daily Bugle. Kara - as Supergirl - even interviews Peter and those close to him after his trial as a show of solidarity.
Tumblr media
Jameson tries to interview the elderly Steve Rogers, hoping that an “old and wizened soldier” (who previously fought against Spider-Man) would appeal to his audience...only to hastily cut the interview short when Steve ultimately speaks in Peter's favor.
When Hardy’s Eddie and Venom are pulled into this world, they end up settling into Star City, working for Catco as a reporter. Mainly because, I just wanna see the dynamic Eddie and Venom would have working for and/or with Kara. Especially in a world where not only aliens are public knowledge, but are active members of society.
Tumblr media
I wrote another post - “What if No Way Home Had More Visitors ?” - and while this AU had nothing to do with that prompt, I’d probably carry some ideas here; such as Topher Grace's Eddie/Venom being pulled into the MCU, as is Dane DeHaan's Harry Osborn, and possibly TASM's Gwen and George Stacey. Another thing changed is the villains (and Toby and Andrew's Peter) were trapped in the MCU longer than a few days. Let's say a month. Long enough for the Green Goblin to become a bigger menace than he already is. Throughout, I see the Goblin going about facing Sam, Bucky, The Defenders, what's left of Team Arrow, the Bat Family. He’s even prepping his weapons with kryptonite incase Kara or the Kents wanna throw hands.
Tumblr media
Peter trying to cure and fix the villains also takes place over a longer period. If L-Corp had a branch on the East Coast, I can see Lena starting a partnership with Stark Industries following Tony's death. 
When word reaches Kara (one of Peter's most vocal public supporters) and Lena, they let Peter set up shop in their labs. Eddie and Venom would actually be part of the story, working for/with Kara. The fact that Lena is a practicing witch could be used to play her up against Steven.
I don't see the Avengers or Justice League helping with the Statue of Liberty fight, if only because (much like Peacemaker) by the time they arrive, Peter��s already beating down the Goblin. Hardy's Eddie/Venom, may have helped...preferably if Grace's Eddie/Venom was part of the Goblin’s squad.
9. Now you may be wondering how this AU affect the multiverse ? I had a few ideas. 
I had this one joke in mind were Toby and Andrew's Peter(s) remark Batman and Superman existing in their worlds too; it being implied that either Burton's Batman would be in the Raimiverse, or The Dark Knight Trilogy being in the Webbverse, etc.
Part of this joke is Toby's Peter doing some investigating in the MCU, and comes across Nelson and Murdock Law Office. It'd be implied that Daredevil 2003 is part of the Raimiverse. Seeing them at their offices, he briefly mistakes Happy (Favreau) and Bruce Wayne (Affleck) for Foggy and Matt, before being corrected. In another joke, Toby’s Peter would see a mugshot of Adrian Toomes, once momentarily mistaking it for his worlds Bruce Wayne before correcting himself.
10. My latest prompt for this AU involves Wonder Woman in Thor: Love and Thunder. And before you ask, I wouldn’t Diana and Thor aren’t rebounding off eachother here. Any relationship they’d have wouldn’t go past platonic.
Tumblr media
Considered Diana having some involvement with The Eternals, but I couldn’t think of a way to write her in. With Love And Thunder at least, Diana has something to do, even if she doesn’t drastically change the story.
After spending some time in Star City, Diana goes on tourist travels, paying New Asgard a visit. It just so happens to be when Gorr abducts the Asgardian children. As Wonder Woman, she joins the fight with the Shadow Demons, before joining Valkyrie, Thor, Jane and Korg on the rescue mission. 
Besides rescuing the children, two things catch Diana’s attention. 1. The existence of the Necrosword, especially since as far as she knew, she was the “God-Killing Weapon”. And 2. The fact that Omnipotence City exists and her father, Zeus, is alive.
Tumblr media
Zeus has a slightly bigger purpose, and the “don’t meet your hero” thing strikes harder for Diana. It goes without saying that the heroic stories of Zeus that Diana (and Thor) grew up had a few embellishments. But this Zeus is a little more nuanced than being a “Fake Ultimate Hero”. 
The heroic Zeus stories were broadly true, it’s just this Zeus is a foil to Thor and his arc. Zeus is what Thor could have become if he didn’t humble himself. And after driving off Darkseid, as well as Ares' fall from grace, Zeus is also what Thor would have become if he kept up his maladaptive coping habits post Infinity War.
Another change is that Thor and co wouldn’t leave thinking Zeus was dead; before they escape, Diana tells an injured Zeus off. Zeus tries to appeal to Diana as her father (and offers her her picks of men and women in the gods orgy). Diana rebuffs Zeus, declaring “I am going with them. I am gonna be what the Amazons were made to be. What you made me to be.” 
Tumblr media
Diana leaves Zeus in his humiliation....only to become another target of his revenge.
Beyond that, I see Diana being “heart” of the team. With her history of love and loss, she would understand what Thor, Jane, Valkyrie are going through and have gone through. She even tries to appeal to Gorr when she learns how his god failed him. Even so, I don’t think it would affect the outcome that much.
Beyond the Zeus plot, Diana would ultimately be another voice to say what they need to hear, and the ear to listen to their problems. I did consider a Diana x Valkyrie subplot, but even that doesn’t drastically affect anything.
----
As of this post, the AU is currently on hold.
I’m still mulling over new ideas, but besides Black Adam I have nothing new from DC to work with, or to include in Wakanda Forever. Especially between seasons of The Flash and Superman & Lois. And especially with James Gunn apparently rebooting the DCEU.
So pending new releases, that’s all for now.

Kara’s going to die.
She’s going to die and there’s nothing she can do about it. Try as she might, fate has other plans for her. The Halo buried in her back can sense it…it feels her sorrow. The sorrow of knowing that she has to die so that others can live. It’s why she finally acts on her feelings and kisses Sister Lena with so much want and longing, praying that this one simple act would be enough to keep the two of them frozen in that moment forever. - A Warrior Nun AU Snippet

WIP Game
Share the last line of your work in progress, then tag as many people as there are words in it.
Thank you to @catelyngrant for the tag!! I also have several different current WIPs (3 for Hacks and 1 Supergirl Cat Grant character study from, yikes, 2019 that I’m trying to get back into for the Finish the Fic event!). I also took a bit more than the final line for two of them, but hopefully not so much I give everything away ;) 
Ch. 2 of Take It From a Woman Who’s Been Married Four Times (Supercat, Cat focused)
“Nothing—nothing with me is ever going to be simple. You’re young, Cat. You don’t have to drag around this much baggage, and you deserve someone who can give you that.”
Untitled Hacks Historical AU (totally unpublished atm)
“Surely no mother would have allowed this!” And yet, Deborah already knew that allowance and permission did not always factor into the matter. Not when there were mouths to feed and debts to repay.
Daniel’s mouth drew taut. “I did not ask, but I believe this would have been her preference.” He pushed himself up and off the ground with the slightest of winces. “Behave,” he ordered on his way out.
Ch. 3 of Waterloo (Hacks)
This is what she gets for sleeping with a 20-something who spends half her day watching 30-second videos of wannabe therapists talking about how stress is held in the brows or the shoulders or the anus or wherever they’re planning to sell you pills for next.
felled by you (Hacks Season 3 fic; totally unpublished atm)
“What do you want me to say, Ava?” Deborah inches closer, lets her features go a little softer, her body pliant, hips swaying ever so slightly. Ava’s jaw goes slack. With the barest brush of her fingertips along Ava’s upper arm, Deborah takes a deep inhale and lets her voice become a weapon, a breathy, siren’s whisper that Ava’s already panting for. “Should I have kept you?” Her fingertips trail along Ava’s chest, the lightest of touches. “It would have been so easy to find a reason for it with the special, hmm? A promotional tour, meetings with new club managers, the promise of a new hour down the line. Why wouldn’t I need you right there with me?” Ava’s head bobs up and down, her gaze bouncing between Deborah’s fingertips and her lips. “I could have promised you the prettiest little collar, a leash made of diamond tennis bracelets. But none of that”—her voice snaps back to something more recognizable in an instant, eyes blazing with anger at Ava’s refusal to understand—“would have changed the fact that you were still shackled to me.”
Anyone who wants to participate, please consider yourself tagged! But to tag a few people I don’t think have been tagged yet, if ya feel like doing it: @nakedmonkey, @explosionshark, @nerdsbianhokie, @dkc2017, and @chainofclovers

Ok ok.
I love World’s Finest as much as the next person (the Flash crossover in Supergirl season 1)
Buttttttt
Barry ran. To Earth 38. 52 accessible multiverses. and he happened upon the one with a fellow hero.
See if it were Earth 2 that would make sense, it’s the closest one ( also I think that would make for an interesting AU because he would be completely alone on Earth 2, no Cisco and no Harry. And if Zoom could sense him (like he was able to sense Cisco’s breach) then he would basically be on the run literally the whole time (my whump gremlin brain wants to keep going with whumpy ideas but I’ll stop for now) ). But Earth 38. No.
So since he seemed to be able to travel to any of the 52 Earths (in theory)— you know what my gremlin brain thought?
What if he went to Earth X

Fanwork creators self rec! When you get this, reply with your five favorite fics/art/podfics/etc. that you've made, then pass on to others. Let’s spread the self-love
so I already did this, but I'm going to share my next 5/honorable mentions here!
fall inside the rabbit hole again
A rare non-Supergirl fanfiction that I've done, this one is actually focused on Batwoman, and I was going to say that it was one of my first, but it wasn't even close. That aside, though, I really liked writing Alice, specifically in a situation after season 1 with her reacting to what happened to Kate- albeit in advance of season 2 itself when that situation became clear.
can't you love what you've got?
This one is definitely a first, this one has to do with The Boys, specifically about my girl Queen Maeve and set right around the beginning of season 1 when Starlight joins the Seven. I still really enjoy this show and think these characters are very interesting, so I hope to write for them again at some point!
the darkest hour (of the darkest night)
This is one I forgot to put on the last list, but one that I love anyway and that got a lot of positive feedback. It's an AU of the Supergirl season 5 finale that I truly wish would have happened, as devastating and heartbreaking as this concept would have been with Brainy being kidnapped and probably brainwashed/aligned by his mother.
El MAYarah Fest Prompt Fill Collection
so this is a collection of fanfics from @mistyautumn's El MAYarahfest, which we did in April 2020, and it features mostly Supergirl fics but there are some others in there, and a variety of AUs and character interactions. I still really like all of the fics I did here, and I was happy to complete this challenge with Autumn.
you and me and atmosphere
just going to say this here, I brought Kenny Li back in fanfic form post-Crisis over a year before Supergirl actually did it during season 6. Very proud of that, even though how the show did it was different from how I did. Anyway, I still think he should have come back in the present day in addition to the past, and if he had, this is how I would've liked to see that.

Mein Injustice-Verse:
Tumblr media
Als ich mich dazu entschlossen hatte diese Fic mitte 2021 zu schreiben war das vor allem deswegen, weil es offiziell hieß, dass es auch in der 2021/22-Season kein Crossover Event für das Arrowverse geben würde (wegen den Covid-Regulierungen) und ich beschlossen hatte in diesem Fall einfach selbst eines zu schreiben. Noch während ich an der Fic gearbeitet habe, wurde das Line Up vom "Armageddon"-Special Event für die 8. Staffel von "The Flash" bekannt gegeben, also gab es dann im Canon doch noch ein Crossover, doch man muss schon sagen, dass "Armageddon" gerade mal in Episode 4 gehalten hat, was das Event versprochen hat, insofern hatte ich Recht und es gab wegen Covid und allem, was danach passiert ist, nie wieder ein wahres Crossover im Arrowverse. Insofern ist "Injustice" nach wie vor ein Ersatz, wenn man so will.
Ich hatte immer geplant eines Tages vielleicht eine "Injustice"-Arrowverse-Version zu schreiben, aber immer auch gedacht, dass Marc Guggenheim und Co. das vielleicht ebenfalls geplant hatten. Nachdem aber klar wurde, dass es nie passieren würde - zumindest nicht so groß wie erhofft - habe ich diese Fic geschrieben.
Tumblr media
Sie sollte zumindest am Anfang und am Ende sehr wohl im damals aktuellen Canon spielen. Das Hauptproblem damit ist, dass damals zur Zeiten der 1. Staffel von "Superman & Lois" diese Serie sehr wohl auf Earth Prime gespielt hat, deswegen ist die Serie auch in dieser Fic Teil von Earth Prime und das Leben von Clark und Lois wurde entsprechend umgeschrieben, sie haben nun zwei Teenager-Söhne, Martha ist gestorben, sie wohnen in Smallville etc. Da die Serie nun nie auf Earth Prime gespielt hat, ist dadurch der Canon-Status dieser Fic fragwürdig. Und auch ansonsten gibt es Probleme, weil die Prämisse auf die geschnittene Szene bzw. die Aussagen von Eric Wallace nach Season 7 von "The Flash" aufbaut, in denen Iris immer noch zeitkrank ist. In der Serie selbst hat sie sich durch ihre Taten während "Armageddon" erst wieder krank gemacht, was ihr aber erst viel später in der Staffel (und Zeitlinie) aufgefallen ist. Alles andere passt aber zum Nach Staffel-7-Status nicht zum Staffel-8-Status. Die Änderungen in den letzten drei Folgen der 6. Staffel von "Legends of Tomorrow" und der 1. Staffel von "Superman & Lois" hingegen waren Absicht und gehören zur Injustice-Zeitlinie, genau wie, dass die 6. Staffel von "Supergirl" gegen Mitte anders weitergeht als im Canon, letztere war ja damals noch nicht fertig ausgestrahlt, also musste ich mir selbst überlegen wie es weiter geht.
Nun, egal, alles was nach dem Ende von Staffel 7 von "The Flash" passiert ist, gehört sowieso zur Injustice-Zeitlinie.
Tumblr media
Da man auf Earth Prime zum damaligen Zeitpunkt noch nicht wusste, dass es das Multiversum noch gibt, ist "Injustice" eine Zeitreise-Fic, in der Barry fünf Jahre in der Zukunft landet, auf Earth Prime nimmt er an, doch ist das überhaupt der Fall?
"Injustice" ist die erste meiner größeren Fics, in denen nur Canon-Pairings vorkommen (später im Nope-Universum war das ebenfalls wieder der Fall), was ungewöhnlich ist (normalerweise gibt es zumindest immer ein wenig impliziertes Westhallen oder Atomwave nebenbei), es gibt gerade mal ein paar Hinweise auf Kanvers, aber ansonsten halten wir uns brav an den Canon. Aber es gibt genug aufregende Dinge, die nicht zum Canon gehören: Leute sterben, manche werden für tot gehalten tauchten aber wieder lebendig auf, manche Charaktere werden böse oder sind fehlgeleitet unterwegs.
Tumblr media
Da ich zum damaligen Zeitpunkt Season 2 von "Batwoman" noch nicht gesehen hatte und auch nicht vorhatte jemals anzusehen, ist Kate zurück und wieder Batwoman, sie nimmt Batmans Rolle aus dem OG "Injustice" ein (bzw. teilt sich diese Rolle mit John Henry Irons, wenn man es genau nimmt). Season 2 ist zwar passiert, aber Ryan wurde Opfer eines Tsunamis der Gotham erwischt hat, was nur kurz erwähnt wird, sie spielt für diese Fic praktisch keine Rolle. Sophie, Rene, Curtis, Caitlin und Chester sind übrigens auch Off Screen gestorben, die meisten anderen kommen - von einer plotrelevanten Ausnahme abgesehen - aber doch eher graphisch ums Leben.
Tumblr media
Ich habe eine etwas zwiespältige Beziehung zu dieser Fic. Sie ist das erste und einzige Mal, dass ich wegen eines Flames einen geplanten Handlungsstrang vollkommen verworfen hatte (der Flame hat mir vorgeworfen über ein getaggtes Pairing zu lügen, weil eine Person tot ist, aber erstens war diese Person nicht tot, zweitens ist Clois der erste Tag zu dieser Fic und Lois stirbt wirklich quasi gleich am Anfang, was keiner berkittelt hat, und drittens hatte ich eigentlich für dieses Pairing eine Wiedervereinigung geplant und wollte ihnen ein besseres Ende als im Canon geben, doch durch den Flame ist mir die Lust vergangen). Als ich diese Fic geschrieben habe, war ich neu auf AO3 und habe ich kürzester Zeit mehr schlechte Erfahrungen dort gemacht als irgendwo sonst nach so kurzer Zeit (und zwar nicht mal solche wie ich erwartet hätte, sondern total seltsame!) und hätte die Plattform beinahe wieder verlassen, weil es so schlimm war. Und ja, wegen eines Tags, der erstens wahr ist und zweitens mein Kaffee ist, geflamed zu werden und dann erklärt zu bekommen, dass das erlaubt ist, weil jeder jeden Autor mindestens einmal ungestraft beleidigen darf, hat mich schon an dem Sinn auf der Plattform zu sein zweifeln lassen, besonders kombiniert mit der lesbischen Bi-Phobia anderer User, die mich in unterschiedlichen Fandoms deutlich spüren haben lassen, dass eine Frau, die Frauen und Männer mag, auf jeden Fall mit einer Frau enden muss, und wehe es ist nicht so bzw. wehe du schreibst das über diese Frauen in einer Form, in der die armen Lesben es sehen müssen, denn das tut ja ihren Save Space invasieren, igitt! Die wollen keine f/f und f/m Tags für die gleiche weibliche Person in ihren Fics, obwohl wie gesagt es mein Kaffee sein sollte wie ich tagge! Wie gesagt ich zweifle bis heute daran, ob es richtig war auf dieser Plattform zu bleiben.
Tumblr media
"Injustice" an sich ist aber ganz gut geworden, denke ich. Manchmal vielleicht etwas unfokusiert und der eine oder andere Charakter ist verloren gegangen, aber das ist vielleicht nur realistisch, wenn man in einer alternativen Zukunft mit so vielen Charakteren hantiert.
Und ja, in dieser Fic habe ich Barry Kristen Kramer besiegen und niederschlagen lassen, weil ich sie damals gehasst habe und mir das einfach ein Bedürfnis war.

20 questions game
Thank you @luthordamnvers for the tag!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Individual stories: 10 (some are series and 1 translation)
2. What’s your total AO3 words count?
Individual stories: 337,399
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Supergirl- Primarily, Arrowverse with the main focus on Supercorp, but other ships as well
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
PRIDE and Prejudice (Super gay retelling of the classic), Tell Me It’s Not Too Late (Post-S4 finale), I Believe in a Thing Called Love (Entire Season 6 episodic rewrite), Wouldn’t It Be Nice (50 First Dates Movie AU/Continuation), What Has Been Lost (Human/Original AU Series).
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Usually. I appreciate getting the comments, so I try to repay that effort.
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
When She’s Gone, the Darkness Comes
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
PRIDE and Prejudice… though it could be said Lena and Kara both get very happy endings in Speak Now (18+ Explicit Sexual Content)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not really “hate”
9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?
See Question 7 lol… I do have smaller sex scenes in other fics, but nothing that compares in scope
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
My Human/Original AU Series is an amalgamation of original story work with various locations, character names, character descriptions, and/ or conversations, pulled, used, and/ or referenced from throughout all of the CW Arrowverse and DC Comics Universe, though primarily Supergirl. It’s not really crazy, but it is intricately woven throughout the storyline.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes, my I Believe in a Thing Called Love into Spanish.
13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
Not yet, but I’m not opposed.
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
Supercorp... There are others (Avatrice, Caitvi, lots of wlw really), but nothing compares to the hold they still have on me.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I plan on finishing all of my actual WIPs that have writing associated with them. There are a couple of WIP ideas I have that I’m not sure I’ll ever get to… A Christmas fic, one loosely based on the movie D.A.R.Y.L., a couple with other main relationships
16. What are your writing strengths?
No idea… Someone once told me they love the way I sometimes write a singular scene from different POVs, telling the story in pieces to eventually for the whole… Not sure that’s a strength. I guess plotting out the story details then?
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Lol stealing @luthordamnvers‘s answer: Actually writing.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
English is the only language I really know, so in the past when I’ve needed to write in a different language (I’ve done Spanish and Icelandic), I used Google translator- which I now know is kind of bad at what it’s supposed to do. I need to ask a native speaker to check on the Spanish I’ve done, but I don’t know any Icelanders. For Kryptonian, I use the Doyle dictionary but I don’t know if I do the grammar/ syntax right or not.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Supergirl/ Supercorp.
20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?
Oh, this one’s hard… Um, I like a couple of my fics for very different reasons, but I guess the Human/Original AU Series is the one that’s taken the most effort and I’m most proud of… It also started as my first, so you can see how I’ve grown as a writer as it continues which is fun/interesting/embarrassing for me lol
