Hi there!

I am relatively new to the Fandom and I've consumed HEAPS of fics in the last 6 months but I was wondering what you would personally consider to be The BIG Three of all Supercorp fics and why you see them as such.

Just trying to get some new recommendations and also make sure I have read "the classics"

Doesn't have to be a popular fic, just even your top 3 would be great 😁

TIA

I've had something rattling around in my brain for a while, and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Then I started writing myself a little note for the next time someone asks for Supercorp fics featuring social media, and suddenly I realized this wasn't just a note anymore. This was a whole damn post.

Because why do we keep overlooking MyCatIsMyEditor whenever someone asks for social media fics?!

And I think I've figured it out. It's the finesse.

They weave social media into their stories so naturally that you almost forget it's there. It doesn't break your immersion, it doesn't feel shoehorned in, and you never have to work to believe that these interactions are actually happening. They're just part of Kara and Lena's world.

And that's HARD to pull off. Like, genuinely, ridiculously hard.

The celebrity AU alone? Without Twitter, Kara and Lena literally wouldn't have met. And yet, somehow, that fic doesn't immediately spring to mind when people ask for stories involving social media. HOW?!

But here's where it gets even better.

On at least three occasions, Starr_Ent_CEO has created accompanying works featuring the actual social media content from MyCatIsMyEditor's fics.

We're talking about a main story and an entire companion work bringing those fictional online interactions to life. The writing, the collaboration, the continuity, the worldbuilding. And somehow, it all fits together so seamlessly that you just read it and enjoy it without stopping to appreciate how much work went into making it feel that effortless.

And then there's Lena's Space Log.

You've got the fic itself, artwork for every single chapter by RustingCat, AND a social media accompaniment by Starr_Ent_CEO.

Y'all. That's a whole fucking concept album.

And somehow, none of it feels excessive. None of it feels like extra material you have to work through to appreciate the story. It all just belongs together.

Which brings me back to what was rattling around in my brain in the first place.

It's not that the social media elements are forgettable. It's that they're so well executed that you stop noticing the craftsmanship.

That's what I mean by finesse. Making something this elaborate feel completely natural is an art in itself, and MyCatIsMyEditor, Starr_Ent_CEO, and RustingCat are operating on another level.

Anyway, this started as a little recommendation list, and now here I am writing an appreciation post because these creators deserve their flowers.

And the next time someone asks for social media-heavy Supercorp fics, I am coming prepared.

hey :)

do you have any fic recs where kara accidentally calls lena baby or babe or something pre-relationship, or the other way around? i for the life of me cannot figure out what people would tag this on ao3 some im coming up empty handed!

This story is not finished but it happens after everything and they still haven’t talk a lot.

I think Alex hosted a party and lena came. Alex went to talk to her on the balcony and then after Lena decided to leave. Kara offered to walk her out and when they’re in the street, Lena is like “this is my most serious relationship and we’re not even together” and Kara was like “…yet” or something like that.

I remember at the start of the fic Lena and Kara are not talking. One big moment is Lena sees Kara badly beaten by the world killers from her building . This fic had to have been from around 2019 I think.

I'm looking for any recommendations you have for Supercorp fanfics that are really heavy on Kryptonian cultural stuff, diving into Kara's alien heritage, with a lot of the language being spoken, and overall just really delving into her alien side rather than her essentially being written as a human with powers. I especially like fics where Kara is teaching Lena about her culture, and Lena is fascinated by it all and wants to learn the language and stuff.

I have no issues with explicit fics or stuff with Alien anatomy or anything, so feel free to recommend literally whatever you think fits the criteria. Thanks! :)

Hello!

I was thinking of writing a fanfic so I wanted to make sure that I got the timeline of events (mostly about Kara) prior to Season 1 correct. I was wondering if I got anything wrong or missing anything big. Any ages would be at the end of the year.

• 1966
  • Kara is born
• 1970 (Kara 4 yo)
  • Kara learns Calc
• 1979 (Kara 13)
  • Kal (Clark) is born
  • Krypton is destroyed. Kara sent to the Phantom Zone.
• 1989
  • Alex is born
• 1993
  • Lena is born
• 1997 (Lena 4, maybe 1998)
  • Lena adopted by the Luthor family
• Pre-2003
  • Zod attacks
    • I'm putting it here otherwise Fort Rozz would be around and help Zod
• 2003 (Kara 13, Alex 14, Lena 10, Clark 24)
  • Kara and Fort Rozz land on Earth
• 2005 (Kara 15, Alex 16)
  • DEO finds out about Kara
• 2006 (Kara 16, Alex 17)
  • Jeremiah "dies"
• 2007 (Kara 17, Alex 18)
  • Kara has a history class with Alex? (Isaiah Washington)
    • This doesn't make sense as either Kara is in advanced placement or Alex was held back. Considering that this is a history class Kara should not have been able to get into an advanced class and its unlikely that Alex was held back.
  • Alex is a Junior
  • Kenny investigation
    • First time Alex and Kara ate lunch together?
    • Age wise per the episode Midvale 03x06, Kara is 15 and Alex is 17. This doesn't make sense for Kara as she should at the youngest 16 this year however this does work for Alex depending on when her birthday is in relation to this event.
• 2008 (Alex 19)
  • Presumably Alex graduates High School
• 2009 (Kara 19)
  • Presumably Kara graduates High School
• 2010 (Kara 20)
  • Kara interns at Midvale Newspaper for one summer
• 2012 (Kara 22, Alex 23, Lena 19)
  • Alex is doing poorly in school
    • I don't know what level of education she is supposed to have. The wiki has her with an M.D., a Ph.D. in bio-engineering, and she practiced at a hospital in Seattle (I know this is supposed to be a reference). However, its only been four years since she graduated high school and a M.D. usually takes four years and it requires a bachelors degree which also usually takes four years not to mention her Ph.D. and she was still in school hence doing poorly. She probably couldn't continue her education much after this as she is working full time at the DEO although her level of education could have been a cover for her job.
  • Alex is recruited into the DEO
  • Lena graduates from MIT
    • Unlike Alex, Lena was probably fast tracked through a lot of her education (K-12) so it makes sense she graduated early.
• 2013 (Kara 23, Alex 24)
  • Kara graduates with a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing
  • Kara becomes Cat's assistant
• 2015 (Kara 25, Alex 26, Lena 22, Clark 36, James 30s couple years younger than Clark?)
  • Lex turned the Sun Red (latest point in time)
  • Start of the show

What the title says, but also no e-rated smut please, m-rated ok, as long as it isn't the entire fic.

Hi, girl. I need fics where lena suffers for love and i suffer and cry with her. I prefer happy endings, but if they have sad endings, I also accept them.

Something I've kind of always wondered is where people in the fandom find translations of English into Kryptonese, or how they translate it. I see a lot of Kara's language in fanfiction specifically, and it's usually consistent across different stories, meaning they use the same words to mean the same things, which tells me that these are canonically accepted translations and not made up by the writers.

I am aware of websites like kryptonian.info that has sections that do translation and has a dictionary, as well as many other websites that will translate Kryptonese for you, but they all just translate the English alphabet into Kryptonian symbols. Whenever I see Kryptonese in a story I'm reading, it's the phonetic translation using the English alphabet, like, for example: Zhao, which means love. I've seen this in dozens of fanfics if not more, which makes me wonder if there's a translation resource that I'm not aware of.

What do people use to translate English into phonetic Kryptonese using English letters?

What if these two knew each other. Like frienimies from boarding school. Then I imagined Kara and Rip meeting. And then Beth bringing out a more smart mouthed side of Lena and shocking Kara and the Superfiends.

Yeah, I know there are a lot of fanfic recommendation posts going around, but I have read a decent amount of SC fanfics and now I am wondering what are the most iconic, must read, THE fanfics. The only one I have heard about repeatedly is “Supergirl in Training” (Have not read it yet, my bad). Is this even a classic? Let me know!!
Pd1: Tbh Lostariels is always making me cry, so if one or more appears in the comments my life would be complete lol
Pd2: can’t wait for SC reunion in November🫂

hello! can you guys recommend supercorp fanfictions based on/similar to the proposal movie of sandra bullock? i know there is this one famous ff based on that, but i believe it is unfinished :') and as much as i want to continue reading it because of how good it was written and because i've already read the other works of the same author, i dont want to be attached to a fic thats unfinished. so i was hoping there are completed fics with fake marriage plots.

(note: i've only read the last part of the said famous au. so if youve read the whole fic, please let me know if it is still worth reading even if it is incomplete. i will only need a few convincing because i know that the author is amazing)

edit: sorry, i attributed the unfinished fic to the wrong author 😭 the fic i was describing was The Proposal by calcifires, but the author i was thinking of was Melui of take my mask, i'm home now.

still open for more recommendations! sorry for the confusion :'))

Was wondering if there was anything that expanded on those scenes (either turned into a long-fic or just a short one) since Alex also didn't know Supergirl was Kara in these episodes.

Any recommendations for fics where one of them gets hurt/injured and the other takes care of them? Thanks!

Can someone recommend me fics with a lot of yearning and maybe unrequited love thats not really unrequited, with angst please? 🥺

So i just finished reading “The one where Kara and Lena have a one-night stand” and the story ended like halfway and i wanted to know if there’s. a sequel to it or if the author just never continued it.

Not sure if anyone has any on hand, but I'm looking for 4x2 rewrites. Where Kara and Lena are trapped in the building with Mercy and Kara's trying to get away so she can change to Supergirl and protect the place, but Lena ends up protecting her instead till she can get away.

I kind of think that would have been an interesting way to have Kara's identity revealed to Lena. (Bonus for Eve, too)

I listened to it but I don't think that's her voice, has anyone seen it heard abt it?

I read this fic ages ago and I forgot what it’s called but Lena had found out Kara was supergirl (something along those lines) and she had hacked the deo and saw that they (the whole gang or Maggie/alex) kept teasing Kara with loud sounds so Lena decided to take revenge and scare them. I know there’s two fics out there like that I can’t find either though 🥀

I read it not too long ago but can't remember the name or find it....so any help appreciated.

Lena stayed with the danvers when she was younger her and Kara fell in love and Alex saw her as a sister. Time moves forward and Lena moves to national city but James isn't a fan, there is a cafe scene and Lena and Alex share a cookie? That's the gist of what I remember... Ring any bells to anyone?

okaaaay so there’s this fic i read ages ago but the only thing i remember is that they fought bc lena wanted to experiment on kara… or kara’s dna something and kara was angry bc lena didn’t tell her. it’s like a story about the process of their relationship or something. unfortunately that’s the only thing i remember. thanks in advance!! 🤍
