Summary
Camp El Mayarah
Summer, 1989The low hiss of static crackled from the tape deck and curled around Kara like the trilling hum of the cicadas outside the cabin windows. Her finger hovered over the record button and she held her breath.
Three, two, one…
Click. Warm electric synth filled her headphones, ethereal and indelible.
This was it.
It had to be perfect.No more stolen glances across the campfire, no more what if’s. Kara was finally going to tell Lena how she felt, consequences be damned.
It had been countless summers of quiet yearning. Countless letters exchanged, creases at the edges and rumpled from folding and unfolding, each one a thread pulling tighter around her heart. Countless sleepless nights spent staring at the ceiling trying to untangle the ache in her chest. She’d denied it. She’d fought it. She’d tried to name it something else.
But the truth was something she could feel deeper than anything she had ever known.
She was hopelessly, irrevocably, head over heels in love with her best friend.

Summary
Kara is caught between being herself and being the person the public wants her to be. Enter Lena Luthor, the refreshingly blunt retail worker who doesn't even know who Kara is; this could either be the start of something wonderful, or something uniquely bizarre. (Either way, Kara's really into it.)

Summary
The woman stops her pacing, setting her pale and unevenly-coloured eyes on Kara, and in that moment Kara understands - for the very first time - how Helen of Troy’s face could have been beautiful enough to start a war.
“Enough. I’m tired of being passed from one person to the next. Tell me,” the woman says fiercely after Kara has been quiet for too long. “Who are you?”
“I’m, um,” Kara says, wiggling her feet until they’re buried in the sand up to the ankle. “I’m Kara.”
The woman stares at Kara, incredulous and silent. It stretches out between them, those lingering questions and Kara’s unwillingness to answer them, until finally her shoulders sink and she deflates with a small, disbelieving laugh.
“Right. Well, I’m Lena,” she says, finally seeming to realize her dress is torn and pulling it tighter, "and if you don’t mean me harm, then I suppose you just saved me.”
OR
Kara’s pod crash happens in 6th century Greece, and she grows up eager to be like the heroes whose myths comforted her in the wake of Krypton’s destruction. But when she accidentally reveals her powers and the world views her as a demigod, Kara begins to understand just how dangerous that can be.
