Summary
"Lena was in love with Kara.
Simple, a short sentence really, a quick thing to say even. Lena had listened to herself say it multiple times when she was alone; “I’m in love with Kara.” She said it in front of the mirror, she whispered it in her bed with her eyes on the ceiling, she mumbled it under her breath for only her ears to hear when Kara would do about anything, she had shouted it once, alone on a hill when she was away on holidays, alone in front of the sea, and when a wave had crashed it was like the sea had said “I know”. And Lena had cried."OR
The one where Lena has been in love with Kara since they were children and doesn't want Kara to ever know about it. It's overall painful.

Summary
“I hope we can be friends,” she says and Lena’s throat feels thick at the sound of it. “I care about you, you know.”
Heat spikes in the back of Lena’s eyes. “Friends,” she repeats. “Of course. Why couldn’t we be?”
The answer is obvious. They were never really friends, even when they technically were. Lena has zero idea how Kara plans to manage it now with all their history between them.A sort of retelling of S2 under the premise that Lena and Kara went to college together and dated.

Summary
Kara has officially decided: Lena Luthor is her hot girl bummer.
College AU where Kara and Lena can’t stand each other, but still end up sleeping together every weekend. It turns into friends with benefits. And then, someone catches feelings.. . . . . . .
“Love can’t really be kept though,” Kara says. “It can only be given.”
“To give something is to lose something,” Lena retorts.
“No, it’s not,” Kara says, and Lena can practically feel her frowning. “It’s … to trust, to trust that you’ll get it back.”

Summary
“It’s not enough. I need more sound,” Kara says, shaking her head. She sharply turns to look at Lena with a determined face, and Lena visibly startles.
Lena lightly clears her throat. “What now?”
“We’re going to have fake sex, Lena,” Kara says with a straight face. “I need you to moan for me.”
Or:
Sam and her girlfriend have obnoxiously loud sex in their dorm room. Kara comes up with a plan with Lena to make Sam realize how loud they are. Things don't go as planned.
Not that Kara’s complaining, of course. Fake/pretend sex

Summary
“Before we move on the pair’s auditions, are there any last-minute sign-ups for the single’s?” Darbus’s voice calls, and the tiny flame inside Gabriella’s heart suddenly flickers to life.
She hears Sharpay’s breath hitch beside her and she gulps as she looks to her left to catch the diva’s glare. Gabriella has become accustomed to her glare over past two days, and she recognizes that the look in Sharpay’s eyes is now quite different than before.
It’s not disdain or fury – it’s a warning. It’s telling her not to dare.
Somehow, it only spurs Gabriella on. She has come here with a desire to be true to herself, not to be pushed into a box, and she’s not going to let Sharpay or anyone else limit her. She’s not going to let her life be led by fear any longer.
So, she stands up. “I’d like to audition, Ms. Darbus.”
When Gabriella auditions for Twinkle Towne, she catches the attention of a certain pink blonde.
