Summary
Supergirl vanished years ago. Everybody knows that. Which is why Lena cannot seem to tear her eyes away from the blog on her tablet screen. One minute she is reading about National City’s newly elected pro-alien mayor, the next all she knows is that she has been scrolling for the better part of twenty minutes. There are stories of Krypton, stories of Supergirl’s childhood and descriptions of long-lost traditions. And then there are the paintings …

"How hard can it be?" Kara asks, smiling as she wraps her arms around Lena's waist, pulling her in so she's snuggled against Kara's soft, soft shirt. "We were married for five years, you know. This should be a walk in the park."
"If it were a walk in the park we wouldn't have gotten divorced," Lena points out, pushing herself away and trying to ignore Kara's bright eyes and glistening lips and the lovely, familiar way she smells. "Seriously, pretending to be married might be harder than you think."
"It's just one week, okay?" Kara pulls Lena back in, warm hands slipping lower and grazing the skin beneath Lena's t-shirt, and. It's not fair how much Lena's heart flutters at the touch. "We just do a couple interviews, take a few pictures, and then we go back to our own lives. It'll be simple. Easy. Promise."
OR, a [Fake Dating AU] in which Kara rescues Lena from an underwater cave, it turns into one of the biggest media frenzies of the year, and they somehow get branded America's Sweetest Couple by the public. Except, they're not actually a couple, they're divorced.- Language:

Summary
Lena's not like a fan fan of Kara Danvers or anything, but Kara did work with TRAFFIC to help break the story that brought down Hydra. And then she didn't even make a big deal out of it -- said, "all I did was snap photos", respectfully turned down an interview with Cat Grant, and blushed on live Instagram when she saw Cat had branded her Supergirl for all her efforts.
So, maybe Lena has a very small, very professional crush on Kara and the work she does, but she's cool about it. She thinks she's cool about it, at least -- and then her words get stuck in her throat as soon as she walks up to Kara to introduce herself.
Especially when Kara turns around, big blue eyes glittering as she smiles at Lena, and asks, "Are you Lena Luthor?"
OR, the au where Lena's an investigative journalist that's never managed to land a front page story, Kara's a hotshot National Geographic photographer, and they make a really good team.
