Word Count: 400
Summary: Clark gives Kara a pair of eyeglasses, but Kara decides that sunglasses suit her better.
Link: ao3
1.
The first pair of glasses she had ever worn were a gift from Kal-El.
The device had confused her at first, but they were apparently common on Earth . She knew that Kal-El wore glasses in his human guise as Clark, but she didn’t understand why he wanted her to wear them. She had no desire to pretend to be human. But Kal-El had explained they were lead-lined and suddenly Kara no longer had to worry about screaming visions of faded flesh to bones, mangled veins, and beating hearts assaulting her senses.
She was grateful, but still, they weren’t her style.
2.
Kal-El was strange. The strangest man that Kara had ever met. At first, she had assumed it was because he was raised by humans—all of his strangeness was just because of the Earth, but during her first weeks on the planet she had watched countless movies and traveled across the world. She studied humanity, studied its languages and culture and customs. And from it she deduced that Kal-El was weird even by human standards.
She deduced that he was a dork.
And that the glasses he had given her were far too dorky for her tastes. That wouldn’t do.
3.
The clear eyeglasses that Kal-El had given Kara would quickly gather dust as Kara experimented with many different styles of glasses. The first pair she had found were circle-framed, red-tinted sunglasses. She disliked the way the red-tint had made the Earth’s blue sky look like a pale imitation of Krypton’s gorgeous red sky and quickly tossed that pair. The next pair she tried were square-framed with black lenses. They made her face look strange and light still peeked through the edges of her vision. Eventually, she found a pair of oversized sunglasses that completely shielded her eyes from the world.
4.
Kal-El stared at her eyes a lot. She wasn’t sure what he was looking for, but the sunglasses became Kara’s favorite method for hiding from him. He couldn’t judge or pity her for her red-rimmed, puffy eyes if he couldn’t see them. She could hide all of it away behind a pair of dark lenses. She supposed that was why he wore glasses; he didn’t need help controlling his powers, but he still needed them to hide away from the world.
That colorful costume might turn her into a hero, but the sunglasses turned her into someone even more powerful.

i should be sleeping right now....
flareonfuryCleaning update: nearly completed folding of the laundry (I have a couple more baskets to go so yay me), cleaned the bathroom (minus the tub, did mop the floor at least), cleaned OUT the couch, and vacuumed the living room. Managed to break a light fixture for my new living room ceiling fan I don't have up yet (which it is way past return date so I'm going to see if I can superglue it back together otherwise meh) - it's about right, I've broken at least three dishes within the last couple months (my Captain America & Sailor Moon cup and a bowl). I need to work on cleaning my room, getting the spare bed dusted/cleaned, laundry put away, and vacuuming the rest of the house. I'd also like to get the gardening beds put together ideally but that is backburner right now. I'd also like to re-organize my books and clean out the storage room. I also need to clean out my car.
So this weekend, other than cleaning, my brother came over and worked a bit more on the office floor - apparently it needs more floor leveler so he couldn't start that part (which fair, I never did end up painting anyway). He started me on watching Star Wars: Clone Wars show since I enjoyed the Maul show. Except early seasons animation was not great, so I don't know if I'll watch more of it without him. I don't know why but I just enjoy Star Trek stuff more? Maybe I just need to be in the mood for animated stuff.
So I updated Capes & Crusaders TCG today, only did a couple decks - but I had the idea last week to start a Make a Deck option at the community, so I got some rules/guidelines up for it - haven't started making what I have YET, but hopefully the concept works. *shrugs* I did end up returning to a "Monthly Theme" concept - except this one, since it's consisting of Pride, Spider-Man, and Supergirl is going to last until the end of August.
No writing this weekend, but I do think I'm going to pass on theunconventionalcourtship this year - I just can't find one that I want to try, or I get sorta close but meh. It does inspire me to want to work on my X-Men Pairing & Prompt Generator - I'm planning on making a MCU one and a DC Comics one - the plan for writers to be inspired of different pairings for xmen100, mcu100 and now dc100.

Backdated Post (mostly because my computer froze and it didn't save)
flareonfury6/7/26 Note: So this post should have been posted May 31st, but instead, basically a week later since my computer did a weird freezing thing for the internet. So while I lost a little more writing on the original post, I did manage to screenshot what was originally written - so that's what you guys get here.
Welp, ending this month with a lot more icons being made than writing again. I have kind of a busy schedule for the month of June, so I'm not sure exactly how much I'll be around, but I do want to make a few posts in June (I've been wanting to talk about the latest books, films and shows I've been watching) here and some drabbles/fics (I seem to keep getting distracted by iconing instead of writing, lol).
Anyway, I signed up formarvel_bang - I haven't quite decided exactly what I'm going to do for it - either I'm starting the long awaited sequel to Falling Slowly (XME, Rogue/Scott), working on the WIP Hearts & Souls (MCU/TASM, Darcy/Steve, Tony/Pepper, Peggy, Howard/Maria, Peter/Gwen, Mary) that I haven't touched in years, or starting a brand new Rogue/Scott or MCU related work. I'm leaning towards the Hearts & Souls mostly because that one is at least started - I think I need to see the original movie again for inspiration, that might help me write more. I don't know though, because Wanda has been inspiring me a lot more lately, so who knows.
I do want to do aunconventionalcourtship but I can't find a summary that intrigues me enough to write for it yet - sign ups close June 10 so I still have some time to look for something. I really want to do a Kara/Maxwell (Arrowverse) fic for it though. I also tentatively signed up for launchtheship for Batman/Joker/Lois (Harley Quinn animated series) and Bucky/Kate/Yelena (MCU) - but there are a few other Marvel ships that don't have anything that I've found.
Okay so besides wanting to get more writing done this month, I also want to work on more decks for Capes & Crusaders TCG. I got distracted (lmao again), by making icons otherwise I'd have completed a couple decks today (I have images for Aquaman's Lorena Marquez and started saving image hunting for Batman Beyond's Aquagirl & Big Barda). If saving images wasn't so annoying anymore, it would get done faster (I hate when I go to save an image and it tries to save it as anything but what it is - I don't know who THAT was a good idea but fuck them). I did at least put up the previous Pride header in honor of Pride Month (minus the original purple background). I did pay attention that I could do at least a deck within an hour (maybe more) depending on if I have images or not. It's when I have to go looking for images I get lost and become distracted or down a rabbit hole and find mismatched images (for example I went looking for Rachel/Betsy & Betsy/Warren images, ended up getting scattered images of Betsy with Beast, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Storm, and Emma as well). I'm thinking of kind of doing a Make a Deck challenge at the community, where I'd make cards out of the images I have and ask members for help/donations to fill in the rest - that might be best? I do miss character/ship fansites so much though - they used to help so much.
So anyway the reason why I'll be busy in June, will be because my aunt will be visiting from June 13th-June 20th (or maybe a little less? she said she has to leave early for a party). So I'm not sure how much time I'll get to be on the computer doing that period of time. Also my friend who moved to Colorado will be here for a few days as well (I told her she was welcomed anytime and because something another one her friends is dealing with, she came to the east coast). So what THAT all means - I have to actually clean clean my house. I don't know if it's a mixture of anxiety/depression or some other mental disorder (or just how I was raised) but doing chores are a struggle for me so I usually do the bare minimum, but I can usually motivate myself to clean when "company" is coming a lot more than normal, especially now after working 10+ hours a day. Started doing all the laundry baskets that I've been avoiding this weekend, so I should be current by next weekend. I need to check outbitesizedcleaning for tricks/inspiration.
Also new community alert!

fic: when hope fails (supergirl 2026)
kryptonianheartWritten for the dc100 community for the prompt "hope"
Title: when hope fails
Fandom: Supergirl (2026 Movie)
Author: kryptonianheart/karameanslove
Type: Gen
Rating: G
Ship/Character: Kara Zor-El
Warnings/Notes: Destruction of Krypton/Argo City
Word Count: 100
Summary: Survive, persevere, hope … and die.
Link: ao3
To be Kryptonian is to persevere. That was what her father had always told Kara. They survive, living off the hope of a better tomorrow. It was how her people survived the destruction of Krypton, their feet clinging to an asteroid city, a last remnant of home. Kara was born and raised on that rock and she grew up watching everyone die trying to turn that asteroid into a living Krypton. Hope doesn't last forever.
Her father spent two decades trying to save Krypton and all he managed to save was her.
Hope felt like a false promise after that.
