when I started shipping it if I did: somewhere between the announcement of maggie’s casting and the announcement that ‘someone in the dctv universe would be exploring their sexuality’. basically, before s2 even started, is what i’m saying here. i’ve been doomed since the beginning.
my thoughts: i would literally die for one or both of them, they are my entire universe and the reason i get out of bed in the mornings, especially on monday, and i don’t know what i’m going to do without them during hiatus because winter break was long enough and i barely survived and i rely on them for my happiness and reason to live. also can the writers please let me have just one scene where they wake up in bed together cuddling and being soft because i need it and if we had to put up with seeing one of karamew then we deserve one for our girls.
what makes me happy about them: literally everything. how supportive they are of each other, the fact that they’ve always got each other’s backs. how happy they make each other. the fact that they’ve had time to grow into this beautiful couple and they get to be badass together and the writers aren’t (so far, i’m probably jinxing it) throwing them around and putting people between them and breaking them up and constantly testing their relationship. just. their existence. their existence makes me happy.
what makes me sad about them: probably their insecurities, and how they both have probably often wondered how any of this is happening, if it even is happening and it’s not just some dream they’ll wake up from and be alone again. because they’ve both suffered and they’ve both lost, and maybe it’s just me projecting my own beliefs but i feel like they’ve both wondered and been waiting for the moment when it all comes crashing down. so in short it just makes me sad how much they’ve both suffered, but they’re also helping each other to heal so that makes me feel better.
things done in fanfic that annoys me: i’m not sure? i mean honestly in all the fanfics i’ve read i can’t right now recall any that i’ve had major nope moments with? i feel like we’re quite blessed in the sanvers fandom with wonderful fic writers.
things I look for in fanfic: i’ve literally read almost every single fanfic on their ao3 page, i have no standards, if it says alex danvers/maggie sawyer and it doesn’t say major character death then i’m in (although i am partial to multi chapter fics because sometimes one shots aren’t enough)
who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: nobody i’m sorry but they’re endgame and i refuse to acknowledge any option otherwise, my girls are forever
my happily ever after for them: they don’t go through the usual tv relationship bullshit of breaking up and pining and getting back together after a long drawn out period of pain for both of them, they just continue to flourish as the beautiful couple they are, moving in together and getting a dog (which they are not calling gertrude, thank you very much alex, and ‘it doesn’t matter how much you pout, i will not let our dog be bullied by other dogs at the dog park with a name like gertrude’) and getting married and maybe one day taking in a couple of in-need alien orphans because i don’t know if i see them actively wanting pregnancy and children but lbr they both get a little attached sometimes when their cases involve children and ‘we’ve got this, danvers. your parents took in kara when she needed a home and now this little one needs us.’
who is the big spoon/little spoon: they switch. alex likes to pretend that she’s always the big spoon because she’s a badass deo agent and she has a reputation to uphold plus her girlfriend is tiny so of course she’s the big spoon but everyone knows how soft she is so none of them believe her and they’d be right not to. it mostly depends on their days and moods.
what is their favorite non-sexual activity: going to the bar and playing pool, obviously. but also going to the firing range and game nights because they get to let off steam and be around their friends.
