Castaway AU - The Rain Scene
Obviously the first thing Kara wants to do once she truly believes she's home-- because her rlsense of reality isn't the same as it used to be-- is see Lena.
Lena doesn't come to see her.
Alex warns Lena against visiting, both for Lena's sake and for Kara's. Kara isn't exactly who she was when she left, and well... neither is Lena. Alex doesn't want to see either of them hurt by what the years and trauma have wrought in the other.
In the end, Kara goes to see Lena. She watches from the street as the rain comes pouring in, catching glimpses of Lena's life through the partially open blinds of their modest single family home. She sees the kids, and the gentle way Lena parents them, giving affection freely and often.
She's beautiful still, Kara notes, more so by the gentle happiness she witnesses. She hovers at the door, working herself up to knock, but in the end she turns away without making her presence known. Lena is happy, without her. The last thing she wants is to make a mess of Lena's wonderful life.
As Kara returns to her car-- she doesn't have her powers after so long in the Phantom Zone, doesn't know if she ever wants them back-- the front door snaps open, and a dark figure pelts outside.
"Kara?"
Lena's voice calls through the deluge of rain.
"Kara!"
Kara turns, finding Lena standing breathless before her. Then, in the next moment, Lena's arms are around her, squeezing in a desperate hug. After a long moment, Kara finally reacts and wraps her arms around Lena in return.
Bodily warmth is foreign to her, and she savors it.
"I'm sorry," Lena murmurs, pleads even. "I'm sorry."
Kara doesn't respond except to press her face into the pocket of Lena's neck and shoulder.
"I always knew you were alive, I knew it." Lena's voice cracks. "Everyone said I had to let you go. That you were gone-- you weren't coming back."
Except she is back. She's here. Right here. Kara wants to shout it to world, as if raising her voice would rewind time and return her to where she left.
"I love you," Lena gasps, pulling away. Tears mingle with the rain on her cheeks. "With all of my heart. Everything that happened-- before-- after, it didn't seem to mean anything at all."
Kara lifts her hand, letting her fingers trace the lines of Lena's face, memorizing every inch of it. The rain hides the faint creases that have found a home at the corners of Lena's eyes and mouth, disguising the grey hairs sprinkled across her head.
For a moment, everything is as it was-- for a moment, Kara thinks she has the chance to do what she was always too much of a coward to do before.
But then she catches the light of the open doorway, and the silhouettes both large and small looking out at the two of them. Lena's family.
Kara pulls back. "You have to go home," she murmurs quietly.
"Kara--"
"You have to go home," Kara repeats. Leaning forward, the only kiss she gives is the one she presses to Lena's brow, pouring all her love and forgiveness into the tender touch.
"Please don't go," Lena pleads, prompting Kara to offer a sad smile.
"I'm not," she promises.
Then she turns and makes her way back to the drivers side door, slipping in behind the wheel to drive away, eyes glued to Lena's figure in the rearview mirror.

Castaway AU
Billy Russo x Reader
What's worse than getting stuck on a deserted island after a plane crash with no hope for rescue? If you are stranded with an insufferable man. Honestly? You would prefer to talk to a painted ball.

How does Freddy end up? I imagine he’s also having his own Survival Adventure on a separate island, maybe with a couple of the others?
If there's three or so islands, then I would put him on the last one that's found by whoever the protagonist ends up being. Honestly, if you start with Chica who is childhood friends with Freddy and maybe Bonnie, well, her biggest concern is going to be finding him alive and well, right? Same with Roxy and Bonnie and Monty and Foxy.
He would be on the final island with Sunny or Moon and either Bonnie or Foxy, doing his own thing. The second island would have whoever isn't on the last island, along with DJ and Vanessa.
You then offset the difference in numbers with the five kids that were on the boat: Gregory and the four Minis. Which means the first island trio could have at least one child to to care for through this, while Freddy and his group could have the rest. As Gregory is Vanessa's adopted son, I'd probably put him on the last island, with the Minis split between the first and last.
I could add another island so I could split the kids up more evenly and have that middle island be a little less populated. Nothing's concrete so it just depends how things turn out in terms of plot and relationship dynamics and all that.

Castaway AU Headcanons
If Lena ended up with anyone part of the group, it would be James. They would live in the suburbs of Metropolis, and have a beautiful family together. They'd be good to each other, for each other.
The search almost killed Lena, before the others got her help. She took poor care of herself in her manic need to get Kara back, even after a year had come and gone. The guilt was too much. The loss was too much. She had to be hospitalized, and got psychological treatment. They plant the seeds of moving on, and even Alex eventually admits that it's time to move on, that Kara wouldn't want them to suffer like this indefinitely.
But it's not until James comes into the picture that Lena actually eases off. The difference is that instead of telling Lena to stop, he just kind of... supports her. Brings her food and conversation like he did during Reign. Eventually convinces her that a walk outside would do her good. A visit to the zoo or the movies, before going back to work finding Kara.
Little by little, Lena starts to improve as she lets Kara go in increments, until the time comes she's ready to let go entirely and move to Metropolis.
The anniversaries of Kara's disappearance always hit hard, always slams Lena with guilt and shame and heartbreak, but James helps her through them, by then a fixture of support in Lena's life-- a partner.
Their coming together is easy and organic, built through love and respect and understanding. They share the loss of losing Kara, but they also share a new life after Kara, a family.
When the call comes that Kara's returned, Lena goes numb. The phone slips from her hand with a clatter, catching the attention of her two oldest kids.
"Mommy?" the younger one, her daughter asks.
"Mom? Everything okay?" asks the eldest brother. Lena doesn't answer, already disassociating. The eldest recognizes it and immediately calls for James. "DAD!!"
James thunders down the stairs in alarm, spots Lena, and scoops up the phone. "Who is this?" he demands.
"James, it's Alex," comes the response. "Kara came home."
James looks at Lena, and finds that same heartbroken horror that had lived in Lena's eyes all those years ago in National City, a horror now compounded by the life and family built around them.

Uncharted Waters: Rooted in Bitterness, but the Fruit Is Sweet
Tumblr media
“Hey, can I ask you something?” Katara asked suddenly. Zuko looked up in surprise, but set his swords aside. 
“Sure,” he said. “I guess.” Katara sat across from him, and sighed. 
“It’s been on my mind for a while,” she said. “I wanted to bring it up sooner, but I didn’t really know how.” 
“Oh?”Zuko’s left hand twitched. He turned slightly away from Katara, angling away, so that his better ear was turned towards her. Katara nodded and brought her hands together under her chin. 
“What is up with your hair?” she asked. 
“ What ?” Zuko balked in surprise. “My hair ? That’s what you wanted to ask me about?” 
“Yeah,” Katara nodded emphatically. “I’ve never understood your hair. And now that you aren’t shaving the sides, I just have to know why you’re keeping that ponytail.” Zuko reached up and touched his head. Katara was right. His hair had grown back in across his scalp. He now had a little less than an inch of hair surrounding his much longer phoenix plume. Despite the new growth, Zuko had taken care to keep the plume as neat as possible, and Katara, it seemed, had noticed. There was a sparkle of mirth in her eyes. Heat flooded Zuko’s cheeks, and he scowed at her. 
“You wouldn’t understand it,” he said haughtily. “It’s a symbol of my status as a member of the royal family.”  
“So, your entire family keeps their hair like that?” Katara asked, incredulously. “Wait, isn’t that guy who’s always with you your uncle? How come he doesn’t have his hair like that?” 
“No,” Zuko squirmed uncomfortably in his seat. “It’s…it’s more complicated than that. I’m….well, I’m the Fire Lord’s son. My hair is a symbol of…well, of my duty to my father being incomplete.” 
“Your duty to your father?’ Katara’s brows shot up to her hairline. “What does that mean?” Zuko ran his hand over his hair. He’d never paid attention to it before, but it felt bristly under his palm. 
“He-” Zuko hesitated, then cleared his throat and tried again. “He sent me to find the Avatar. To prove my worth.” Zuko kept his gaze steadily away from Katara, but he could feel her eyes on him. He was sure if he looked up, he would see that coldness that seeped into them whenever his mission came up. They were allies here on this island, but he knew that her guard was still up when it came to him. They were on borrowed time, and this was a dangerous reminder.
“Well,” Katara forced lightness into her voice. It was enough to startle Zuko to look at her. There was a tight, artificial smile on her face. “Well, you can always shave your head again, once we’re off this island. But for now, why not just get rid of that bit up there?”  She gestured to the phoenix plum at the top of his head. 
“Why do you care so much?” Zuko grumbled. 
“Because I have to look at it.” Katara crossed her arms and made a distasteful face at Zuko. 
“Even if I cut it, it’s not like it’ll be long enough to cover my scar.” Zuko could feel a tight ball of anger forming in his chest. He wasn’t going to sit there and let Katara insult him, whether what she said was true or not. 
“Oh, please,” she said, waving him off. “Your scar is fine, but your hair is inexcusable.”
“ What? ” Zuko’s mouth fell open in shock, but Katara didn’t seem to notice. 
“ You used to look like an egg with a handle, but now you look more like a mango nut.” She leaned forward with an oddly eager smile. “We have scissors from the hut. Let me cut it for you.”

Okay I have the premise for a Shipwrecked AU.
Freddy, the heir to a large, rich and influencial company has a birthday boat trip where he invites his friends, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Vanessa and Sunny, as well as Vanessa's adopted son's (Gregory's) friends - the Minis - and their dad DJ. He encourages each of them to bring someone with them as he knows not everyone has met before and wants to make sure everyone has a friend with them. Only Bonnie and Foxy bring someone with them. Bonnie brings his hydrophobic little sister Roxy (it took some convincing to say the least) and Foxy brings his fellow ocean lover friend Monty, who jumped at the chance.
The trip is going well for a while. Everyone is chatting away, having a good time, with terrible karaoke and great food... until a freak storm hits them. Foxy, being accustomed to boats, tries to take control and get them through this but waves get too strong too fast and after a long while of struggling, the boat capsizes and almost everyone is thrown from the ship. Some grab onto each other and the debris while some are separated completely, and at least one still in the boat. They all struggle to pull through but it's not enough.
Chica awakens alone after the storm on an island she's never seen before, the boat washed up on the rocks nearby and with no idea what to do or how she survived.
And thus, the Castaway AU begins.
