Summary
Kara’s struggling to find work. Lena’s struggling to find herself. When fate (with some help from Cat Grant) casts them into the same orbit they find themselves completely off-script, because while everyone knows about the sins of the father, they're somewhat less clear about the sins of one’s siblings. Throw into that an audience hungry for stories at the expense of fact, a showrunner with a plan nobody saw coming, and a co-star who steadfastly refuses to keep it in his pants, and you’ve got a tale so dramatic even the protagonists have noticed.
or
the one where they’re both actresses with a surprising amount of baggage for two people who haven’t met yet.

my darling, let the band play on (‘cos it’s clear we stole the show) by the_ominous_owl

Summary
Kara’s happy. She has a great job, a girlfriend who loves her, and castmates who only occasionally post her drunken antics on Instagram. But everyone knows that happy doesn’t get clicks, and when the unstoppable force of an audience’s expectations runs up against the immovable object of a network’s vision, everybody loses except the paparazzi.
or
the one where the network meddles, Lena despairs, and Kara just wants the fandom to find an ounce of goddamn chill.
