    Summary

    Written for the prompt: Kara has visions she doesn’t understand and uses painting to get them out. Usually, it only takes a month or two before what she sees comes true, but she’s been dreaming of a woman ever since she turned 18 and still hasn’t met her. Until she meets Cat. Can be set in canon or full AU.

    The happiest of winter holidays to you, Musetotheworld, our fearless and steadfast leader in our annual exchanges, who brings us all so much joy (and content)!

    Summary

    It isn’t The Wizard of Oz that pierces through whatever walls Kara has placed around her heart, nor is it Singing In The Rain, or even West Side Story. No, it’s Oklahoma! that blindsides her, leaves her sobbing into her throw pillow until her voice disappears and she’s too exhausted to move to her bed.

    She can’t figure out why a story set in the time of farmhands and cowboys could make her think of Lena in any way until she rewatches it.

    And oh. Oh, she finally gets it now.

    Kara hears the words being sung and is reminded of the fact that after everything, Lena still doesn’t have the full story.

    Lena had accused her of having ulterior motives, of wanting to be close to her out of selfishness, of being too cowardly to ever take a real leap of faith. She isn’t all that wrong. Kara’s alter ego may be out in the open now for Lena to see, but that doesn’t mean Kara isn’t still hiding behind some lies.

    The fact that she’s fallen in love with Lena Luthor accidentally along the way is the only secret she’s got left.

     

    AKA, Kara watches an old movie, realizes what's been in front of her this whole time, and somehow, finds her way back to where her heart has made its home.
