Summary
Christmas in Midvale means church lights, forced smiles, and the annual reminder that Lena Luthor does not really belong anywhere she stands.
Kara Danvers has been in love with her since Sunday school. Since paper angels and glitter glue and pretending she does not stare.
When the Luthors host the youth Christmas party, Kara finds herself inside a world she has only ever watched from a distance—and discovers that Lena Luthor laughs, throws snowballs with terrifying accuracy, and maybe wants to be seen as badly as Kara has always wanted to see her.

Summary
Christmas Eve at a homeless shelter is supposed to be about logistics, compassion, and making sure no one is left alone—not about flirting over mashed potatoes with a billionaire genius.
Kara Danvers is just trying to keep the decorations up, the food hot, and her sister from weaponizing a clipboard. Lena Luthor is just there to write a check and get through the evening unnoticed.
Instead, they find cinnamon-scented chaos, terrible food puns, a Santa hat that should not work but does, and the quiet realization that sometimes love starts by simply showing up and staying.
Holiday AU. Shelter volunteering. Soft chaos. Falling in love over potatoes.

Summary
The Secret Santa drawing at CatCo was rigged. Kara Danvers knows this because she got Lena Luthor’s name, and Lena Luthor absolutely does not need another expensive gift.
Unfortunately for both of them, Kara Danvers is deeply, helplessly in love—and Lena Luthor is spiraling just as hard in the opposite direction.
What follows is a high-stakes holiday standoff involving overthinking, extremely thoughtful gifts, Cat Grant’s malicious competence, and the realization that sometimes the best present is simply being seen.
Office AU. Mutual pining. Holiday feelings. Falling in love under fluorescent lighting and bad decisions.

Summary
Lena Luthor attends a building Christmas party fully prepared to endure it and leave unnoticed.
Instead, she meets her relentlessly friendly neighbor from across the hall — and spends the evening being talked into warmth, laughter, and something dangerously close to belonging.
Sometimes a fresh start does not come from running away. Sometimes it lives right across the hall.

Summary
On Christmas Eve, Lena and Kara’s children demand a retelling of the story that has become family legend: the night their mothers nearly broke up over a power outage, a Christmas tree, and a badly timed declaration of love.
Told and retold amid cocoa spills, interruptions, and affectionate corrections, the memory reveals what has changed, what has stayed the same, and what twelve years of choosing each other can turn even the worst night into.
