Compilation of fic I’ve Written

Here’s a masterlist of Fics I’ve written. I will update this periodically as I write stuff and share it. The WIP means work in progress. If a link doesn’t have that next to it, then I consider it finished.

Some Rules for this blog

Apparently, I can only pin one post? I edited in this seven point list on 10/9/2024. I wanted to be clear on a few things about this blog:

  1. Please do not request me to write smut or draw smut. I write what I feel comfortable writing. If I feel comfortable enough to write that I will. Thank you for understanding.
  2. I’m disabled with several chronic illnesses, and I’m a system. Please do not make jokes that are rooted in ableism (nor make jokes rooted in transphobia). That will end up a block for sure.
  3. I’m currently being very careful about who I reply to regarding messages to me. If you don’t get a reply from me, it has nothing to do with you and more to do with my health and energy.
  4. Feel free to message or send an ask about my writings and art. Remember to be kind! (I like to make friends, but just remember the above points. Also, sometimes it takes awhile to respond because of my poor health.)
  5. I will update this post with what I’ve written within a few days of when I wrote it. If I posted my writing to both Tumblr and AO3 at the same time (such as with Supercorptober), I’ll only include the AO3 link.
  6. Okay, that’s it. I wish I could have pinned two posts.


Thanks for reading!

✰ Sam and Lena’s friendship ✰

“Hey, you are Sam Arias, okay? You’re the woman I would trust with anything.“

thatonebirdwrites

I never forgave CW for never bringing Sam back. Hence why she returns in all of my fics (or never left in the first place).

Also, if you want to read a story with superreigncorp, then I recommend my story Shattered. Come for superreigncorp but stay for the healing from trauma.


Below is my thoughts, unorganized, about Sam and Lena’s relationship:


I think what captures me about Sam and Lena’s friendship is how vulnerable they are with each other. Up to this point in the show the only person Lena shows any vulnerability with is Kara and Jack. Then Sam comes along, and we see that Lena has been vulnerable with other people. She has with Sam, and trusts Sam because Sam hasn’t ever betrayed her.

Even when Sam was dealing with Reign, she never betrayed Lena. She still tried to be there, and Lena, in turn, risked everything to save Sam. That level of intensity she has shown toward Kara too, where she risked everything to save or protect Kara (and in turn Supergirl who is important to Kara).

She risks a lot to save Jack, who is her established ex, but she doesn’t risk everything about herself to try to save him. The situation for one doesn’t give her the time to do so, but also she holds herself back to some degree with him. In the end, when she must choose between saving Jack’s life or Supergirl’s life, she chooses Supergirl out of a pragmatism that a Luthor not saving a Super would end badly for her. So she didn’t have much of a choice, but she does try to save him.

When Sam enters the picture, we see her vulnerability again, where she is open with Sam, and the two talk about their lives with a candor that is refreshing. Sam can tease her which other people can’t, or at least it takes a long time before she allows others to do so (like Alex). There’s a softness between Sam and Lena that we only ever saw between Lena and Jack, and between Kara and Lena.

When Sam is in danger, Lena risks everything – her life, her reputation, her company, her relationship with Supergirl – to save Sam, and I think part of that is her being loyal to those she loves. But also because she couldn’t save Jack. Lena can’t bear to lose someone else she loves, so she goes to the extremes for Sam. In the end, she does save Sam.

She will risk nearly everything again to clear Supergirl’s name in Season 4, and she risks everything in Season 6 to save Kara from the Phantom Zone. Again, her desperate need to save those she loves, to try to keep them from harm, seems to drive a lot of her actions.

With Kara, she felt betrayed but eventually comes back to her, where they mend their relationship, and I don’t think she’d have done that if she didn’t love Kara dearly.

Even when Andrea enters the picture, she doesn’t ever try to save Andrea per se nor does she ever come “back” to Andrea. She advises Andrea at times, assists her here and there, and comes to forgive her betrayal over time. But she doesn’t risk everything to save Andrea, and at best tolerates her for most of the show. It’s not until late Season 6 that she forgives Andrea and establishes a tentative friendship again.

Nor does she risk everything to save anyone else. She assists with helping others solve complicated issues that will save certain people (or the world). She acts more as an advisor, biologist, or engineer in those scenarios.

Thus, the people she risked nearly all of herself for are the people she loves most in the world: Jack, Sam, and Kara. Of these three, the canon directly labels Jack as her ex.

For Sam, there’s hints here and there but it’s never clarified if there was anything beyond friendship between them. My theory is she did date Sam at one point, but they decided they were better off as friends. I’ll use one example to show my thought process.

When Lena says she can’t date someone she’s the boss of, Sam comments “Yes, because that hasn’t happened before.” At first I interpreted this to mean Jack, but Jack was the CEO of Spheercorp and Lena his employee. So then I broke down the scene more carefully.

Lena has stated she doesn’t date her employees. Sam replies with a sarcastic comment and roll of her eyes implying she has dated her employees before. Since Jack was never her employee, I decided to interpret Sam’s behaviors and reply as Sam actually implying herself. That Lena had dated Sam when Sam was her employee.

There’s other bits of evidence that led to my theory, but most of it is subtext during Lena’s desperate attempts to save Sam.

Notice the way she comforts Sam, and how Sam accepts this comfort. It shows a deep love and tenderness between the two. If we look at the canon of the show, her and Sam’s relationship, despite not being together, mirrored how she interacted with Jack during their relationship. In both, the way she touches them and holds them mirrors each other. Jack may hold her tighter and longer than Sam does, but Lena pressing her forehead against Sam’s to comfort her holds that same intensity of care. Sam is technically Lena’s employee, while Lena was Jack’s employee when Lena worked on nanotech with him. Sam has reality-check conversations with Lena just as Jack did with Lena. Lena shows deep vulnerability with both Sam and Jack (ten times more vulnerable than she ever shows with James). If Jack hadn’t been relegated to just one episode and vague mentions, perhaps a more deeper analysis could show more parallels.

For Kara, we have five seasons of the most epic romance/not-romance, where every possible romantic trope is established (canonically no less!), so I believe she loves Kara and would date her in a heartbeat.

I have seen people write long essays on how the show mirrored (canonically no less!) Lena and Kara’s relationship with the relationship between Superman and Lois. These parallels not only exist in the way Kara holds Lena, but also in how they interact, conversations they have, the way they save each other again and again, behaviors between the two, even down to what they wear. Far too many parallels existed for it to be coincidence.

So the people she risked everything for? Are the three people she loved and either dated at one point or likely wished to date.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

lena luthorsam ariassuperreigncorpI could have turned this into a full essay complete with me pulling quotes and screencaps from the show to prove my silly theoriesbut I'm not feeling well and that requires me to lay out my notes of Supergirl in a legible mannerI have all these quotes and notes from various episodes so I can write my ficsand if i had the energy to organize them into in-depth essays it'd be over for y'allbut alas I'll just leave my thesis statement here for future me in case future me has recovered enough for indepth essays lol

The evacuation prep poster is done! This poster is designed primarily with wildfires in mind, but the tips can apply to preparing for any much any disaster.

If you share this image outside of tumblr, please link back to my website: www.Katy-L-Wood.com

[[Image ID: A poster including a layered graphic showing what items to have ready to prepare for evacuating your home based on how much warning you have that you need to evacuate. The inner, red, level is labeled “No Warning.” The next, orange, level is labeled “Less Than an Hour.” The next, yellow, level is labeled “More Than an Hour.” The final, green, level is labeled “General Preparedness.” The items associated with each level and the text are included below. /end ID.]]

———-

Evacuation Prep:

As the world changes, it is important to be prepared to safely and efficiently evacuate your home, potentially with little or no warning. Preparing ahead of time can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and help you evacuate safely if the time comes.

Red Level (No Warning): People | Pets | Keys. Human life matters most. If you can’t rescue your pets, let them out to give them their best chance. If evacuating by car, don’t forget your keys.

Orange Level (Less Than an Hour): Crucial Meds | Important Papers | Money | Paper Map | Pet Vaccination Records. Crucial meds and medical equipment. Papers including passports, birth certificates, medical records, etc.. Multiple forms of payment. Paper map with marked evac routes in case of signal loss. Phone. Most evac centers require vaccine records for pets to be allowed in.

Yellow Level (More Than an Hour): Photos | Hard Drives | Computers | Chargers | Irreplaceable Items | OTC Meds | Pet Supplies | Pet Food | Clothes | Weather Gear. Family photos. Hard drives and computers. Make digital backups ahead of time. Charging cords. Irreplaceable items such as collectibles and mementos. Over the counter medical supplies such as Aspirin and tampons. Pet supplies such as bowls, crates, toys, and litter. Pet food and treats. Clothes. If you are running out of time grab your laundry basket. Weather gear if needed.

Green Level (General Preparedness): Food | Water | Radio | N95 Masks | Multitool | Power Pack | Gas | Stove + Fuel | Flashlight | Toiletries | Emergency Contact Info | Bedding | First Aid | Can Opener. Easy prep, shelf-stable food. Water. Battery powered/rechargeable NOAA weather radio. N95 masks for smoke. A multitool. Rechargeable power pack for phones. Keep your car at least partially fueled at all times. Portable stove and fuel for cooking food without power. Flashlight and spare batteries. Toiletries including hair products, toothbrush and paste, etc.. Emergency contact info for friends and loved ones. Spare pillows and blankets. Dedicated first aid kit. Can opener.

Save yourself time and stress by preparing an evacuation bag ahead of time and keep it in an easy to access place. At the end of every season rotate out the perishable items within such as food, water, and medications. The more you can keep in the bag, the more time you’ll have to grab everything else. Remember, it is okay if you can’t do everything. Some preparation is better than no preparation.

If you are in the U.S.A. and experiencing disaster related anxiety call the Disaster Distress Hotline at 1-800-985-5990 for support and resources.

I cannot write a happy letter to save my life.

Sadness will weave its way into it somehow, someway. And thoughts on healing from trauma.

Same with my writing.

Lately, despair has eaten me up, making writing and creating difficult. But I keep trying because the human effort of typing with my own fingers, drawing with my own fingers, pressing down strings and strumming with my own fingers is a worthy effort and roots me in the fact I am still alive.

We are worthy of life, respect, and care, but damn is it hard to remember that when society floods us with messages that are the opposite.

meltedsapphicbrains
waitingforthesunrise

and very, very often, self care is not plants and ice rollers and fluffy blankets of peace.

it’s standing over your kitchen sink and crying while doing the dishes because you just want to go back to bed but the dishes need done. and you don’t know why you’re crying but you're trusting you need it. and you aren’t listening to the music that pulls you into a spiral; you’re listening to some cheerful shit your friend sent you. it’s getting up and staring at your fridge and closing your eyes and then cooking yourself food even though you hate it and it’s miserable. because you know that you’d cook for your friend, and you are trying to befriend yourself. it’s dragging yourself into the shower because you know you’ll feel better afterwards. it’s doing mundane tasks with patience, cursing under your breath, trying desperately to give yourself grace. grace is the beginning of care. care is the beginning of love.

we think it’s supposed to be peace and yet the most powerful self care moments are when we hate everything but especially ourselves. and life does not feel worth the loving.
to look into that pain and yet choose to care for yourself in however many pieces you are — that is care. love. grace. trust. belief. it hurts because it’s love where there was no love before. it heals because it believes there will be love, one day, soon.

Happy New Year! Here is a chapter for y'all.


EXCERPT:

If Lena Kieran Walsh Luthor had predicted she’d come close to being sucked into another world, she’d have questioned the sanity of those speaking and evaluated the safest way to exit. Up to that point in her life, Lena had successfully infiltrated a building twenty-three times to obtain data or an object. Most of those buildings consisted of warehouses, which lead to Lena’s theory of villainry:

Proposition 1: Massive space is necessary for villainry.
Proposition 2: Office buildings and bunkers require considerable investment and money to procure and build.
Proposition 3: Warehouses can be grown on a lattice for cheaper than the cost of an apartment.
Therefore, cheap villains used warehouses, while rich villains invested in stunning offices and bunkers.

In regards to the Blue Oath, Lena suspected they did not have investments or significant monetary backing, thus unlikely to have an office building or a bunker. Her theory proved true, once again, when the drone followed the kid on day 3 to an abandoned warehouse sector of National City near the San Obisbo suburb.

Of the Blue Oath she’d encountered in Metropolis, the gang consisted of poorer white teenagers, mostly boys, who pretended to be tough. They talked through forums, which she suspected played a role in their spread across America. None had been particularly wealthy, and most had been found in warehouses.

It seemed National City would turn out similar due to the Blue Oath’s location. Her first assessment by drone had noted an odd lattice of wires in the walls and ceilings, but her research pulled up nothing significant about them. Sometimes older warehouses from the early years of Recovery had experimented with growing buildings along a wire lattice to quickly bring up shelter and storage areas for goods. She assumed that lattice came from that era, likely a relic of the building.

Further internal scans failed due to odd structures pinged from the first set of rooms and the southern wall. The material had been thickened in the southern wall with a metal door near its center. Other walls showed thinner materials, which showed the lattice in finer detail. The lattice distorted further readings, which meant she’d have to go on foot.

While Kara worked under the stern eye of Ms. Cat, Lena surveyed the warehouse from a nearby roof. She sketched the building, the surrounding area, and marked the coming and goings of all individuals. Most activity started in early afternoon toward evening and continued through the early morning hours.

For three days she watched the warehouse. Boring but necessary for her evidence. On day four she brought Kara into the situation and explained, with maps, her plan. Honestly, she’d expected more questions, but that apparently came during the travel to the warehouse by bus. They reviewed the parameters of the mission far too many times. Kara’s concern both confused and touched Lena deeply, and as much as she might have preferred Kara at her back, she needed to be stealthy and quick.

So Kara floated above, and Lena quietly made her way to the officelike room, where she’d detected several potential data clusters. Most locks proved easy to unlock, only one being electronic, but the cash register reading came from the back of the warehouse, the room beyond the officelike one with its data cables.

She’d save the cash register for last. Her first priority centered on the cables, which took some finesse to coax the data from the fibers. She slid on her haptic gloves and visor, both carefully layered metamaterials and nanochips for penetrating the light streams. The data she manipulated with her gestures, the flow shown on her visor. Unsurprisingly, much of the data consisted of various forum posts, mostly VR chat, of the useless vulgarity and bigotry of white teenage boys.

Is this a new AI trend or am I just extra lucky to get a comment like this on AO3

sharingfandoms

what the actual fuck

please-help-this-little-lesbian

Hello???

theballadofthesunandthestars

It's AI! It's all over Reddit, but basically if they mention you being alone for Christmas, it's definitely AI. There have been HUNDREDS of comments that are just some variation of this over and over again; if you're ever wondering whether a fic comment is AI or not, check it out on Reddit, most of the posts are referencing these kinds of comments. It's fucked up, but the main theory is that recently, AO3 denied a bunch of tech bros the ability to train their AI systems on fanfic, so this is their revenge. They want you to stop writing. It's pathetic, just delete and block <3 I promise your fic is lovely!

DON'T ASK YOURSELF "AM I A GOOD PERSON?" ASK YOURSELF "IS WHAT I AM DOING GOOD?" OR EVEN! "WHAT'S A GOOD THING I CAN DO RIGHT NOW?"

DON'T WORRY ABOUT JUDGING AND SORTING YOURSELF! JUST MAKE YOUR BEST CHOICES!!

Ok but pls actually do this people. There is no such thing as a good person. Stop trying to be one and starting trying to do good instead

I wrote a post about the narratives we tell ourselves.

One of them is the ‘i am a good person’ narrative.

Excerpt from my article:

“However, when people’s biases are confronted, regardless of how — whether directly or subtly — defensiveness may rear up to blockade communication and retaliate against whoever confronted us.

As a disabled trans queer person, I have learned that confronting people on their biases and microaggressions can cause this defensiveness, where they cease to see me as a person. Instead, a story is built up for them to defeat, which in turn dismisses my words in order to preserve their view of themself as a ‘good person.’

It is this attachment to ‘being a good person’ that can stifle our growth and ability to build community with others. Lama Rod Owens in Love and Rage: the Path of Liberation through Anger writes:

“We’ve learned how to pack everything away, because we’re really invested in being good people. You may say, “I am a good person. I am not a misogynist. I am not transphobic. I’m a good person.” Sometimes being a good person or my attachment to being a good person actually gets in the way of me looking at all the rough spots, at all the shadows that I’m working with.”

That story all of us have built of ourselves is often riddled with unconscious biases, especially if we are unwilling to acknowledge those biases exist.”

Sorry for the cliff-hanger at the end of this one. Still writing/editing the end result of Lena’s first case. lol So figured i’d just post this chapter and hopefully have the next one up by first week in January. (There’s a shorter project I need to finish first since it’s due date is soon.)


EXCERPT:

Each section of The Tower held biometric locks set to the Danvers sisters, J'onn, Kelly, Brainy, and Wnn. A complicated multi-layer encryption kept the team from accessing the core of the Tower, a space that was marked with some sort of Martian glyph on the building’s schematics. Kara had nabbed it off Alex’s desk to help Lena learn the ropes since the tour was postponed for tomorrow, after Lena rested from the long day of flying and meeting Kara’s family.

Lena reviewed the sheet before carefully folding to tuck into her pockets. She breathed in deep and released it slowly, that acidic scent from her panic still present. Kara wondered how best to alleviate it and wondered if making cookies might help.

“I expect you here at 8 am sharp tomorrow,” Alex said. She stood by the caseboard, her arms over her breasts. Her eyebrows scrunched, her expression one of concern, but Kara could smell the hint of guilt at triggering the panic. Kelly or herself would have to talk to her later about it, because that was way not cool. “We’ll discuss any training and duties then.”

“And the paperwork?” Lena asked. Her voice sounded calm, despite her scent profile saying otherwise. “I need a contract in my alias.”

“I’m adjusting ours for you tonight,” J'onn replied. He gestured to the files on the table in the center of the room. “You’ll meet the full team tomorrow. Rest well.”

Kara, eager to show Lena her home, bounced on her heels. “Want me to fly you?”

“Kara…” Alex warned, but she ignored her sister. She wanted to show Lena now, not wait for a ride. Besides, fresh air was good for humans, right? And there’d be lots of it while flying.

“Please understand,” Lena had said, quietly, “I know you won’t drop me, but…”

Oh Rao, that was a good point. “It may cause more panic. I understand.” Her words proved correct when Lena nodded with a shy smile.

“Thank you. Perhaps we can take the bus?”

“Or I can in my car,” Kelly offered. She waved for them to follow her to the elevator. “We’ll head out the back.” She paused only to kiss Alex’s cheek who blushed with that grin she wore whenever Kelly was affectionate. Kara found it adorable.

Inside the elevator, Lena leaned toward the buttons. “What is this one?” she gestured to the one marked by a Martian glyph.

Kelly shrugged. “Can’t access it. It requires a complicated passkey that only J'onn has.” She pressed the button above it that had a “G” imprinted on it. “I wouldn’t recommend trying to access. There’s traps down there.”

“Hmmm.” Lena tapped her bottom lip thoughtfully.

“I tried once,” Kara offered. “My superspeed was needed to not get blasted. I stepped over the danger threshold without paying attention to the warnings. J'onn has let me use what’s down there before, but definitely a mistake to think the one use meant I could access it anytime.” The door slid open to the ground level, and Kara led them through the maze of storerooms to the backdoor.

Kelly’s car was an older electric from the 2040s with a custom-made electronic interface. Painted a dark violet, it blended with the shadows in the alleyway. Kara opened the door for Lena, before settling next to her, while Kelly took the driver’s seat, its chair partially turned to the side.

Kelly keyed in Kara’s address into the touch interface in the dashboard. She chose a less populated route, and buckled in. The car didn’t start moving until Lena and Kara’s buckles snapped into place.

“You know,” Lena said, quietly, “It’s been a long time since I was in a self-driven car.”

“Does Metropolis not have them?” Kara asked, confused. “They’re everywhere here.”

Lena shook her head with a pained smile. “Most vehicles had human drivers, and buses and taxis were more common. It’s due to an old ordinance from the Resource Wars that limits private vehicle use on the main roads. The only way around it is if cars could fly, but so far any attempts turned out to be a hoax.”

“Probably for the best. Traffic is bad enough on the ground. Let’s not clog the skies,” Kelly said.

Kara nodded. “I’d prefer that. Having to dodge flying cars would be a nightmare.” She much preferred carless skies, where her only worry was birds and airplanes. Both were usually easy to avoid, unless she came too close to a nest. Then those smaller birds would divebomb her enmasse. She did not like those birds.

As the car eased into traffic, Kelly navigated to the command prompt portion of the screen, then keyed the code to activate the scrambler. Kara was pretty sure that code was the modified one Brainy had helped them develop. “It’s safe to talk here. I have the scrambling tech running.”

Lena sighed. “Thanks. I appreciate earlier. Talking about Lex…” She pinched her nose briefly before dropping her hand into her lap. “It’s not easy to do.”

“I thought it might be. I’ll talk with Alex. She pushed you too hard,” Kelly said, a slight irritation in her voice. “It’s easy for her to fall into investigative mode. I’ll remind her to not do that with you.”

“Appreciate that.” Lena looked out the window. They passed Unity Park and turned down Kara’s favorite road. Here Noonan’s and other delicious restaurants filled three blocks until it turned into a residential district. She often frequented those businesses for a snack or lunch.

“I do hope Alex does not hold this against me,” Lena said. “I am quite capable, and am managing the flashbacks.”

“You shouldn’t have to manage them,” Kara said. “Maybe there’s someone who can help with mind healing?” She looked at Kelly, who had the degree even if her current job had nothing to do with therapy.

“I do know of a few therapists that are discreet,” Kelly said. “And I do think it would help. We can use your alias for your protection.”

“I’ll think about it.” Lena fiddled with the strap of her seatbelt, her hands unable to keep still Kara noticed. “It is good to see you again, Kelly.” She smiled, but the skin didn’t crinkle around her eyes. “I know the last time we saw each other was…”

“The kidnapping,” Kelly said, softly. “That day has haunted me these past few years. I wish I could have saved you.”

“Otis would have killed you,” Lena said with a shake of her head. “Knowing you lived gave me hope during the worst of it.”
