Summary
"So to keep yourself from getting hurt by love, you're…casting a spell to…find it?" Sam says, her face twisted up in confusion as Lena wanders the garden gathering the herbs she needs. It's dark outside, and they're darting between shadows – the garden is here for the kitchen staff to pick fresh ingredients from, and the last time Lillian found her snipping rosemary she was confined to her room for two months.
"I'm calling for Amas Veritas," Lena clarifies. "I'm binding myself to a person that doesn't exist."
"How do you know they don't exist?"
"They can't. No person can fit all my criteria. And if they don't exist, I can never fall in love."
OR
Lena Luthor is cursed. Everyone she loves is doomed to die; it would take someone truly indestructible to survive a magic that’s ingrained in her very bloodline. When she binds herself to a true love that can’t exist, the last thing she expects is for Kara Danvers to turn up and prove her wrong.

An AU (lightly) inspired by Practical Magic.

Summary
Everyone allegedly has a soulmate. Back before people could travel the globe different groups had different ways of identifying soulmates, though the majority had some kind of physical marker. Lena Luthor doesn’t have any such indicator and thinks that she must not have a soulmate- after Lex rejected his why would the universe bother giving one to her? Kara also doesn’t think she has a soulmate on earth- she wasn’t even born here, after all.
On one particularly annoying day Lena gets a call from a woman trying to order pizza. Lena is the CEO of L-Corp, not Mario from Mario’s Pizza. Still, once it’s all over she doesn’t think much of it- until she tries to call her secretary and pizza lady answers instead.
It just keeps happening now.

Summary
Before Lena could change the subject, lest Kara tilt her head even further and ask if she was okay, Clark intervened: stretching out of Kara’s grasp and reaching for her with chunky arms and a familiar whine.
It was muscle memory that had Lena reaching back. When Clark wanted her attention, she gave him her attention. It was simple.
Well, okay, maybe simple wasn’t an entirely apt descriptor.
When Kara had first asked Lena if she wanted to hold her baby cousin, she might as well have been asking if Lena wanted to hold a landmine — which probably would have been preferable, actually. At least a landmine was something Lena could wrap her head around, could handle with care the way she would dangerous materials in a lab.
OR: Kara is the chair of the Lena Luthor is loved committee, facing off against naysayer... Lena Luthor

Summary
“You got a dog?” Kara asked in delight, already forgetting how Saviour had shifted quickly out of their hug only a minute ago.
“More like he got me…” Saviour joked, the loneliness in her green eyes receding to something soft and fond as she looked over at the now rather fluffy white dog that was growing faster than either of them could keep up with. Argos quirked his head to one side at Saviour, jaw falling open in a happy pant that he sent her way.
“What’s his name?”
“Argos.” Saviour declared and Argos couldn’t help how his chest puffed up so that the gold tag etched with his name and attached to his red leather collar glinted in the sunlight.
