Summary
Deep breath in, deep breath out. "Kara?"
"Yeah?"
"Would... would it be okay if I stayed? I'll sleep on the couch."
Kara doesn't hesitate. "Yes."
"Okay."
"Okay."
They both fall asleep on the couch, curled around each other, huddled for warmth and a semblance of peace.
It's the first sleep either of them have gotten... since.
****
Alex is gone, and Kara and Maggie are left behind.

Summary
Kara adores Maggie, she really does, but all at once remembers that the smaller woman is notorious for her avoidance of her own feelings and her ability to dodge having to talk things out.
“Maggie Sawyer, can we just skip past the whole denial thing and get to point?”
“Denial? Of what?” Now Maggie rallies a little, standing as tall as she can, crossing her arms over her chest in a way that Kara knows she means to be a show of strength but really is clearly an attempt to shield herself. “Kara, I don’t know what you think is going on between us, but you, you’re wrong. Okay? I’m… single, and you’re my dead girlfriend’s little sister.”
Kara could almost believe the cold, dispassionate tone Maggie has affected, except for the tremors in her voice. They speak to the deep anguish and confusion the Kryptonian knows Maggie is wrestling with.
****
Alex is gone, and Kara and Maggie have come to rely on each other to get through the day.
Except, there's more to it than two women grieving.
That more drives Maggie into a guilt-spiral of denial, but Kara is no fool.

****
Maggie and Kara love each other, and Susan is determined to make sure they don't crash and burn.
