Hi 👋🏼 looking for a fic where Maura is dating Jack and it’s in Jane’s POV where she arrives at Maura’s cause they’re supposed to go out to breakfast but Angela tells her Maura’s been locked in her room cause she’s upset now that she’s broken up with Jack. Jane goes to her room and Maura just cries and says that she doesn’t see to fit or belong with anyone and Jane tell her she belongs with her and confesses to her feeling… Any of this ringing any bells ? For the life of me I can’t remember the name of the fic or who wrote it 😭
Hello!! 👋🏼 I'm sorry, this one is not ringing any bells.
Hey Rizzles fam, can anyone help nonnie out with this fic search?
I know it’s been forever and I’m sorry!!! I’ve been in a bit of a writing slump the last few months, but boy, getting back into this chapter drop-kicked me out of it. I JUST LOVE SUPERCORP, DUDE, OH MY GOD
It’s been a while since Kara thought about what life was like before Lena, but as she comes back to herself and the pleasure seems to ping back and forth between them it occurs to her that everything before they met seems like a distant memory, now. Working for Cat instead of Lena seems like an eon ago. She can barely remember Mon-El’s face anymore.
Lena has filled every crack and crevice of Kara’s life, and Kara doesn’t want to ever be without her again.
Kara shifts, and immediately Lena’s legs tighten around her, keeping her inside. As if Lena can hear her thoughts. Or, at least, she feels the same.
“Stay in me,” Lena murmurs.
It almost slips out of Kara, then. The words she’s been trying to find, that have danced around the tip of her tongue, are under her feet now. She’s tripping over them.
I love you.
Kara buries her face in Lena’s perfumed neck, and chokes it back.
It's the moment you might have been waiting for! The next installment of the:

Robin is…. not doing good after what happened at Starcourt. Nancy notices and leaves a note in her locker hoping that Robin might respond. These notes are they key to a slowly developing relationship between the girls in this hurt/comfort fic.
ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS: 2x08 - “Killing is a Cycle”
↳ "We've lost so many. The anger. The sorrow. It's tiring. Gods, I know it's tiring. But you will never rest knowing that she's out there. Or maybe I underestimated you. Maybe you have the strength that I do not. To forgive. And trust in tomorrow. The decision is yours, commander."
Truly without sarcasm or snark or any of that, this is what we mean when people who love this character and her story are so irate/confused at the statement she never showed any remorse. Listen, I’m a sap. I love the big romantic speech and emotional breakdown over the wrongs of the past. But that isn’t who Caitlyn is, and it never has been. What we are seeing here is that her remorse and shame and self-hate are so strong that who does her armor finally crack in front of? Jinx. Just… really think about that a moment. It makes sense that she shows real vulnerability in front of Vi, they are in love. But think how much bad blood is between Caitlyn and Jinx, and this is when Caitlyn’s armor breaks even the smallest amount. The woman who killed her mother, who started her down this path, she is who Caitlyn admits her self-hate to. I can only speak for my own opinion of course, but I suspect “remorse” does not even begin to cover what Caitlyn is feeling.
