RULES/PREFERENCES

i am only comfortable writing adult themes with those who are 21+ — no exceptions.

this is a roleplay blog so please don't interact with me unless it's rp related or i will probably block you. mutuals i'm friendly with are exempted from this.

nsfw things will be tagged as such. if we're mutuals and you need a trigger warning for anything else then feel free to let me know.

i'm fairly selective about who i'll write against/follow back. i tend to lean towards characters within the same or similar universe as kara/linda, but don't let that discourage you from trying to interacting anyway!

if i can't easily find your age and some sort of rules somewhere on your blog then i probably won't follow you. if you respond to my threads and aren't following me, i might not interact with you.

don't god mod my characters. unless specifically stated, you don't know their secret identity and they are not in a relationship with your character. telling me i'm "doing it wrong" is also not wanted. i'm too old for petty bullshit, i'm here to have fun.

sometimes i have a life and sometimes i just don't feel like doing anything – please don't yell at me about it. mutuals will always have top priority. if i stop replying to a thread it probably has nothing to do with you and everything to do with my mood. or i just forgot about it because i'm a dimwit.

i always send and reply to prompts/memes with the intention of it going beyond the first initial response, whether it's only a short sentence or a couple of paragraphs. if i didn't want to write then i wouldn't respond or send one to begin with! i am absolutely not picky about icons or format since i'm pretty much always mobile and can't cut threads myself.

if we're mutuals then you have permission to send me random prompts/memes and reply to my open threads any time!

SHIPPING

romantic, platonic, family — you name it, i love it. romance isn't my top priority and i don't like those relationships forced on me. karamel is my romantic ship of choice but i'm open to others from both within and outside of the arrowverse. i'm also more than ok with multi-shipping.

HUGE NOPE

supercorp, terfs, homophobes, nazis, trumpsters, etc. if you're generally just a giant piece shit, i'll block you. that being said, i love stuff like harry potter but jk rowling just doesn't exist to me anymore. i believe you're allowed to like someone's work without liking the creator so i'm not about to judge anyone about that sorta thing.

kara never would have outed herself as supergirl like she did in the final episode. she wouldn't risk the lives of her friends and family like that, especially after mxy showed her exactly what would happen if she did! i thought it was very out of character. in my opinion, the writers often did that to both her and other characters on the show, so i am happy to ignore a lot of the stupid things that happened or tweak it to be less ridiculous and more kara or whoever.

GENERAL VERSES/TAGS

ᴠ: sᴜᴘᴇʀɢɪʀʟ - canon divergent, basically the same.

𝚟: 𝚔𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚕 - karamel related.

𝚟: 𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝚔𝚛𝚢𝚙𝚝𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚎 ( 𝚔𝚊𝚛𝚊 ) - self explanatory, not necessarily from season 1.

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐲 + 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬.  /  @shieldworn​ said :  ❝ i was forced to find an alternative means of transportation. ❞ / did he jump out of something without a parachute again? Probably.

HE’S LATE AND HE KNOWS IT --------------- and while him coming in SECOND in a two - person - race to the pre - established rendezvous point isn’t exactly rare or new, familiarity with the anxiety - inducing WAIT doesn’t make it any easier. (   sure; the fact he’s managed to keep his 100% appearance rate intact tonight should help smooth things over, but there’s always that little nagging voice in the back of her mind that says THIS MIGHT BE THE TIME HE DOESN’T.   )

         “please tell me that doesn’t mean what i think it means,” her nose crinkles up as part of her usual pre - groan ritual ------------- the one that seems to get the most use right before he admits to jumping out of something moving with only his shield and GOOD INTENTIONS guiding him to the ground instead of yards and yards of nylon and enough CHORD to tether him to her for the next time they’re in a situation like this. “honestly how have i managed to not go full - on GREY by thirty - six with the way you forget the look part of ‘ look before you leap? ’ ”

(   yes, that’s being hypocritical, and he’s welcome to call her out on it. and she’ll argue that when SHE forgoes that look part at least, her feet are usually already on the GROUND.   )

        “could you at least maybe try a train next time?”

𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠.    /   @coolcattm​​ said :  [ GAZE ] -- right before the kissing begins, sender gazes at receiver's lips, then back up at their eyes, waiting for them to make a move or give confirmation. ( oops. tj )

SHE’S TOLD HIM TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT SHE’S A LOST CAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS, BUT HE KEEPS TRYING ----------- she’s never been able to see what he does when they look at the same piece when it comes into the gallery (   sure, the fact that she sees them as a TOOL OF THE TRADE now; a way for her to gather intelligence puts them in a very non - romantic kind of light. she doesn’t have them around her for beauty or meaning ------- these paintings aren’t meant to hang on her wall and have her ADMIRE them.   )

but she’s always been more matter - of - fact than imaginative; at least when it comes to something like this. it’s been an ASSET to her more times than she can count in her career, but now that she has to feign an extensive art opinion to keep her cover, being able to speak to something in terms of BLACK AND WHITE only serves her if it’s a picasso she’s trying to push.

so here they stand, side by side, her arm curled around his while she tries to sort out what kind of SMALL TALK she’s going to have to make with one of coy’s reps when they’re in later that night. (   her confidence and her ability to THINK ON HER FEET is only going to take her so far with this one. he knows his art.   ) but after the second run - through it still sounds like she’s bullshitting (   which ... she is   ), and if she can’t convince herself now, how is she supposed to convince a crime lord with a taste for 

                “i still don’t know how you do it,” she sighs, running her free hand through her hair before squinting at the canvas again, as if doing so will make things EASIER. “seeing beauty in something like this. it’s rough and complicated and -------- i don’t think my brain’s ever going to work that way.” it’s around then she realizes that he’s looking at HER and not the painting anymore, the corner of his mouth turned UP like he knows something she doesn’t. (   which doesn’t narrow things down ---- he knows a lot of things she doesn’t.   ) 

                “what’s that for? am i that bad?” a canine snags her bottom lip, watching the way the questions only make that curl of his mouth grow. she knows that look --------- knows WHERE he’s looking, too --------- he doesn’t try to hide the way his eyes keeping flickering UP and then back down again, and she won’t call him on it either. instead she goes about lifting her chin up to encourage him to come just a little bit closer, and when he leans in to KISS HER, it almost makes her forget what she still has to do later tonight. (   she doesn’t exactly what him to STOP either.   )

if only everything tonight was going to feel this easy ...

WHEN THEY’D PARTED WAYS AFTER GERMANY, SHE WOULD HAVE BET MONEY ON THERE BEING A LONGER INTERIM BEFORE SEEING HIM AGAIN ------------ he’d had his own business to attend to, and she’d gone UNDERGROUND to avoid giving ross the satisfaction of getting to collar her himself. (   of all the names and titles she’d had since graduating from the academy, ‘enemy of the state’ is certainly one she hadn’t exactly ASPIRED TO.   ) but here she is; here THEY are after walking side by side down a busy patch of pavement in brussels ------------- in her glorified shoebox of a flat. 

decor’s a little barer than she would have liked if she’d known COMPANY was coming over, but he didn’t giver her much time to go shopping for a new set of throw pillows. but they’re called SAFEHOUSES and not COMFORTHOUSES for a reason. “sit,” she’s shoo’d him towards the sofa that doubles as her BED (   depending on if there’s a sheet draped over it or not   ) more than once already. 

her patch up kit is a little LIGHT on supplies; and what is there is more than a few years old. it’s been awhile since she’s needed not only a place like this, but the kit she keeps above the sink. so he gets treated to a string of obscenities as she rummages through what’s left, realizing she’s going to have to head back out for a few things. which of course, once she mentions it, has him making his way vertical once again. 

         “you’re supposed to be sitting. and you can’t. not this time. it’s just down to the corner, and i don’t need half of brussels seeing captain america out to buy some hydrogen peroxide.”

IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT OR TWO BEFORE SHE HEARS THE FAMILIAR PING OF HIS TRACKER COMING ONLINE ------------- and it won't be all that much longer before she's able to give him a better idea of just how far he's gone in the last few hours. "it's still zeroing in, but yeah, you're right about not being near the city." (   or the east coast in general from the looks of it; but he already sounds as if he knows without her really saying so.   )

and the winner is .....

       "topeka. eta should be ... 30 minutes?" she's going to spare him any WIZARD OF OZ JOKES too while she's at it; he's already suffered enough being out in the middle of nowhere with probably nothing but COWS to keep him company. fingers click away at the coordinates ----- she's ready to head out, save for one small request.

      "i’ll be sure to grab a shirt. i can't guarantee it'll be yours, but it'll do the job until we can get you back here. want me to bring anything else with me?"   / @bbannertm​ ; continuation.

𝐟𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞.   /   @coolcattm​ said :  🤝🏼 + 21 -- in a rush of adrenaline. ( from tj hehe )

HE KNOWS AS WELL AS SHE DOES WHAT’S WAITING FOR THE BOTH OF THEM IF HER COVER’S BLOWN ---------- enemy of the state is going to sound downright DIMINUATIVE next to what the black market here in hightown will call her; and whatever bounty’s waiting for her back stateside will be pocket change. still; once a spy, always a spy ------------------- it’s engrained in her by now. it’s always going to be there in the back of her mind, wheels turning, even when the situation continually tempts her to SHUT IT OFF and just be BLISSFULLY UNAWARE for once in her life. 

(   and if there was ever one of those times, it’s now ------- walking through the market that pops up at the end of every month, fingers LINKED with his while they try to find that one stand that sells the laksa she’s been talking his ear off about for the last two weeks.   )

so of course it ISN’T MEANT TO BE ------------------ a face in the crowd that is immediately out of place; instantly familiar for all the wrong reasons --- a former COLLEAGUE at SHIELD who’d turned out to be as untrustworthy as they come (   AND YET SOMEHOW SHE’S THE ONE MARKED AS PERSONA NON GRATA BACK HOME !  ), and one who could readily ID her out of SPITE let alone a reward. at least she sees him before he does her. 

         “teej,”  we gotta go. she knows better than to all - out RUN; there are enough bodies between them that they should be able to continue to BLEND IN until they get closer to the edges of the crowd. so the tug she gives his hand is SUBTLE as she angles herself in the direction they need to go in, hoping he gets the HINT that their laksa will have to wait. her attention is split between the entrance of the market and glancing behind, making sure the FACE she’d seen hadn’t gone and had his own A - HA MOMENT. too late. and now she thinks she’s seeing two. “shit. we gotta go.”

somewhere in between that last glance over her shoulder and the need to turn a walk into a sprint she loses tijasar’s hand; opting for the closest SIDE STREET in an attempt to disappear into the shadows that no amount of NEON LIGHT in hightown could fully blot out, hoping that he’ll follow ---------------- but it’s only an EMPTY ALLEYWAY BEHIND HER when she glances back again towards the main street, and her stomach can’t help but SINK. (   she knows he’s more than capable of handling a pair of former hydra nobodies attempting to punch well above their weights; it’s just the nagging realization that they both have the raft in their futures if they get caught; and she’s gone and split them up.   )

she turns one corner, then another, keeping close enough to the buildings to trace her fingers along the mortar gaps in between stone squinting for a hint of a landmark to help gauge how far she is from her apartment; from SANCTUARY ------- counting it out in minutes, in steps, and hoping that when she reaches her front door he’s going to be waiting for her. but that hope gets interrupted by a hand around her arm ---- how she manages to keep quiet save for a startled ‘NO’, she isn’t entirely sure ---- and a pulled invitation to join them in the alleyway that culminates with her back against the bricks. 

------------------------- not them; HIM. (   and the look on his face isn’t one she’s sure she’s seen from him before.   ) “fuck, you scared me,” for a moment she FORGETS HERSELF and lets him see it; the panic in her eyes before a hard BLINK attempts to reset her expression. it may have pushed away the panic, but it left behind the immense RELIEF (   and a racing heartbeat   ) that he’s the one with his fingers curled around her arm and pressing her against the wall not SOMEONE ELSE.   )  “i let go before,” which is why her hands come up to curl around his wrist now; to KEEP THAT CONTACT. “i shouldn’t have let go.”

FOR AS MUCH AS SHE PRIDES HERSELF FOR BEING ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH HIM, there are always going to be those times where she’s reminded of her LIMITS. (   and she never complains; never makes him slow down to wait for her to play catch up --------- if he wants to opt for getting up close and personal with his shield, she’s more than happy to let him dive in HEADFIRST. so long as she’s there to keep an eye on his six in the meantime.   )

but tonight’s mission has turned out to be one of those nights where her limits become apparent in the AFTERMATH of it all ------- and while both of them got knocked around a fair bit, she knows she’ll be the one with the majority of the aches and pains come morning. for now at least, they’re quite the pair in coordinating patches of black and blue.

          “almost but not quite,” she says it with a smile but her voice betrays just how EXHAUSTED she feels after a long night. even the way she slides over on the bench to make enough room for him to join her inside SHIELD’s medevac comes with a GROAN. “you’re definitely still stuck with me.”

𝐦𝐬𝐦𝐫'𝐬 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆.  /  @ikaryis​​ said :  “existing and living are not the same”

HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO RESPOND WHEN ALL SHE’S EVER KNOWN (   ALL SHE’S EVER BEEN TAUGHT   ) is how to survive above all else? how is she supposed to explain that she knows she’s EXPENDABLE just like every other agent is, regardless of clearance level or years of service? SHIELD’s certainly made the latter clear enough on more than one occasion -------- she’s seen too many good agents; friends, become sacrifices for some greater good that isn’t always clear and certainly doesn’t always seem FAIR. 

and she knew what it was she was getting herself into; she knew that her road wasn’t going to be ORDINARY, or smooth, or all that long --------- living never seemed like much of an option anyway. 

            “existing is difficult enough day to day as it is,” she tries her best to exhale a LAUGH, and for a moment its hard for her to know if she’s trying harder to convince HIM or herself that it’s the best she can hope for. “living’s kinda impossible when you’ve got a TARGET on your back day in and day out.” 

or a PATCH EMBLAZENED WITH AN EAGLE showing your affiliation on either shoulder.  her point still stands.

            “maybe someday i’ll be lucky enough to have to worry about living on top of everything else.” maybe. probably not.
