Summary
When Detective Jane Rizzoli and Dr. Maura Isles go undercover at an exclusive couples’ retreat to investigate financial manipulation, they expect staged intimacy, psychological games, and a carefully constructed lie.
What they don’t expect is the retreat working a little too well.
As the investigation draws them deeper into the manipulations of its charismatic founder, the lines between performance and truth begin to blur. Old feelings surface, new ones refuse to stay buried, and the roles they’re playing start to look dangerously close to something real.
But when the case ends and the masks come off, Jane and Maura are left with a question neither of them planned for:
Was it all part of the act —
or have they uncovered the architecture of something that was always there? -

Summary
Jane Rizzoli notices something strange in the records: Maura Isles is never described the same way twice. What begins as a curiosity about inconsistent witness accounts becomes a deeper investigation into how observation is shaped, recorded, and stabilised through systems rather than certainty. As reporting standards are quietly revised and the variation disappears from official documentation, Jane realises the real shift is not in Maura - but in what gets recorded about her.

Summary
When Morgana Pendragon casts a spell in Camelot, she doesn’t expect to land in a glass tower in National City—face to face with a woman who looks exactly like her.
Lena Luthor assumes it’s one of her brother’s tricks. Morgana assumes she’s lost her mind.
They’re both wrong.
As science clashes with sorcery, Lena sets out to send Morgana home—before paradoxes unravel everything. But the longer Morgana stays, the more unsettling the truth becomes: she isn’t just a stranger. She’s a reflection. A possibility. A warning.
And as Kara Danvers and Alex Danvers get pulled into the chaos, lines blur—between worlds, between choices, and between the people they are and the people they could have been.
Because the most dangerous question isn’t how to send Morgana back.
It’s what happens when Lena realizes how easily she could become her. -

Summary
Kara Danvers wanted a change in routine. She didn’t expect the sharp heels and guarded silences, or the book notes, and how something so small could grow into something she wasn’t ready to name.
Lena Luthor wanted obscurity. What she found was a quiet café, a stray cat, and a barista with too much light in her eyes — the kind that could make even a Luthor hesitate.

Summary
This story explores a world where Maura helps Jane come to the conclusion that she is asexual. And later how Jane and Maura navigate and build a relationship through that focal point. I would categorize this as ‘Serious Fluff’ – soft, romantic moments with a serious undertone. Not full of drama or angst.
Note: It’s a little non-canonical – I’ve ignored some things from the later seasons or twisted them around for my purposes.

Summary
In the aftermath of her brother’s death, Lena overdoses—and survives. What follows is not redemption or recovery. It's withdrawal, exhaustion, and the unbearable intimacy of being witnessed while breaking. As Kara stays, helps, and loves her through the aftermath, Lena is forced to see the cost of her pain reflected in someone else’s eyes.
This arc traces the quiet devastation of survival, the slow erosion of denial, and the moment Lena realizes that loving Kara means refusing to let her drown alongside her.
