(Updated: 7/16/26) I figured this would be a better way of linking to things people might be looking for as well as an intro/FYI.
(Let me know if any of the links are bad or if Tumblr app/desktop does something weird with this RIP!)

i wrote this at @jtl07 & decided to make it other peopleâs problem tooâŚ
i just imagined kara losing her temper at clark. just so stricken, & angry, insisting a more violent form of justice against a villain:
âwe donât kill people, kara.â
âyou donât.â
âneither do you.â
âmaybe itâs a change one of us should make.â
âyou donât mean that.â
âwe were sent here to be the bestâwe have powers, kal. & i am sick of stupid, pathetic men destroying lives when we could end them for the better of the world, remove the threat completely. donât act like itâs the same thing if he dies versus all those he will hurt.â
âyou wonât be able to come back from that, kara.â
âknowing how many i save would make it ok.â
ânot the kara i know.â
âthe kara you know is the kara i show you to make our ancestry palatable, to make others comfortable. the kara i am watched everyone she knew & loved die bc the same greed & the same selfishness & the same evil. i refuse to let history repeat itself. you have no loyalty to the house of El without memory of it, so i donât expect you to understand, clark.â
lois reaches out to lena when kara flies off, & lena finds kara outside her balcony. kara would never admit that she didnât know where else to go. lena sits with kara in silence for a few moments.
âi want to kill him.â
âthatâs a valid reaction.â
âi donât see another option.â
âi would understand. itâs introductory philosophyâthe trolley problem. a utilitarian solution. you want to do whatâs best. superman wants to do whatâs good. most of the time theyâre the same thing, but not always.â
âwould⌠would you think iâm evil? if i killed him & his accomplices?â
lena reaches out slowly, so she can get a read of how kara will react. when she doesnât move, lena takes her hand. âno⌠i donât think you have an evil bone in your body, but thatâs why i think it would hurt you to hear others say you are. mostly⌠i think it would scare people, & i think you want to be lovedânot feared⌠you deserve to be loved, kara.â
just realized i could actually update my username from this 2012 one to closetcasefrancesca & keep ccf but it just doesnât have the same ring & i also do not do well with change⌠but idk is it time?
what should i change my username to?
closetcasefrancesca
closetcasefran
boatymcboatfran/give up the ccf altogether
âkeep it the same, ya old ladyâ
Voting ended onMar 24
this poll may also not affect my choice at all but for funzies đ
i encourage yâall to have friendships where you can fully admit you write fanfiction. itâs really nice even if the donât get it exactlyâlike if you share a little & they just go âlol niceâ or âthe drama!ââbc it just logs in their brain as something that makes you happy & good friends want you to be happy.
also FUN FACT ABOUT ME: thatâs the origin of my usernameâi was anxious about my irl friends finding my fanfiction so i was a closeted faberry fic writer lol (iâm old). i still keep it to close friends & internet folk, but gosh is it fun when you find out who of your friends are already on ao3.
i have made a friend swear that unless she is actively in the same fandom not to look for me:
âyou write angst. i go there to be horny on main so you donât have to worry.â
âi write some smut!â
âthere are so many feelings & i know it bc youâre demiâtotally fineâbut i wanna get to like IMMEDIATE fucking.â
sheâs perf.
anywayyyyyy happy i finally wrote something & posted. if youâre into angsty âheaving bosomâ franchaela, check the fic tag.
here! have a drabble/scene looking into a not-thought-out au idea i had! if i were to make this a fic, iâd lean toward calling thisâ
iâll keep my secrets (with something so sacred)

(aka marriage of convenience au)
⢠michael â˘
michael is trying to figure out how ava got this drunk. as he watches ava throw back another shot hans poured for her, he amends it to why ava got this drunk.
hans, a respected bartender who moved from dives to cocktail lounges, still picks up a shift for some extra cash at the local pub, while also embracing the opportunity to spend time with the locals he loves. michael has no doubts that hans would feel powerless cutting off ava because 1) ava hasnât acted like this in a very long time and 2) ava is partially the reason hans has moved up in the cocktail scene, having befriended him when she first moved to england as a brand rep.
(like almost every friend in london has confessed, hans initially had a crush on avaâwith her charm, wit, and beaming smile, michael knew more than a handful of friends who were helpless when first confronted with ava silva. she even managed to get hans to change his well gin when she first set foot in his barâshe was great at sales. everyone eventually moved past it to friendship, and it became solidified once they met beatrice, a casual date that bloomed quickly into a romance and eight months later an engagement. few were surprised since it became rare to see one of them without the other. but only a few, including michael, knew the truth about ava and beatrice silva.)
since it was only a hurried text from avaâcome have a pint. hans is pouring at the corner bar.âand beatrice is noticeably absent, michael has a few guesses. still, ava usually handles her alcohol well, and the ava heâs watched for the last 20 minutes resembles the ava he met when she was a tourist several years ago, not the ava heâs grown used to, who just gets tired and leans into beatrice after more than three glasses of wine at an extended dinner.
ava leans her head in her hand and turns to michael with a little smile. she looks tired.
âyou alright, ava?â
âfuckinâ brilliant,â she replies, poorly imitating his accent. âhans!â
âavaââ
âi decided iâd go out tonight, so iâm out, mikey.â
âbut maybeââ
âshhhhâŚâ
hans pours another, giving michael an apologetic look.
ava tosses back the mezcal shot. âanother!â
âchrist, ava. no.â michael moves her glass from her outstretched hand.
âhey!â she tries to reach past, pushing at him like a child would an older sibling.
âwhat is wrong with you?â michael says, exasperated as he swats her hands away. âava whatâs gotten into you?âhans, do not pour another!â
hans puts his hands up and slowly backs away.
ava mumbles something.
âwhat?â
âi kissed beatrice,â ava groans.
âyou have. iâve seen it.â
âno, mikeyâit was the two of us. no one else was around.â
âah.â michael leans toward appearing empathetic to bury the lack of surprise despite the predictability of this. to him, as well as to lilithâs chagrin, ava and beatrice have increasingly become inevitable.
ava drops her head into her hands as she leans heavily against the bar, elbows digging into the worn wood surface like scaffolding keeping her upright. michael hearâs a muffled fuck.
âso whatâs going on now?â michael asks, moving closer and lowering his voice.
âsheâs in the states for work right now, yâknow, reaping the benefits of our loving marriage.â
âbut what happened after you kissed her?â
âi froze. she froze. i walked outâprectically ran out. we just⌠we havenât talked about it. i also have avoided being in the same room as her for longer than a minute,â ava confesses, cringing as she thinks about it, occupying her hands now by shredding the paper coaster in front of her. âshe texted me she was leaving for work. i texted âsafe trip!â annnnnd that was itâŚâ
âwell, when she gets back, you can get it sorted, yeah?â
âhow?â ava asks, raising her gaze to meet michaelâs, drunk and teary-eyed.
âtalk it out.â
this was not the thing to say as ava huffs, fully turning to michael and raising her voice, âhow do i talk it out,â she grabs michael by his shirt, shaking him dramatically, âwhen iâm pretty sure iâm IN LOVE with my FUCKING WIFE?!â her voice is loud enough that hans hears and laughs as he approaches.
hans, sliding a glass of water across the bar toward her, says, âwell, iâd hope so.â
ava releases michael, defeatedly taking the glass, and mumbles, âthat wasnât part of the deal.â
âava,â michael mutters, âyou need to limit how many ppl you tell this.â from hansâ confused expression, michael can tell he didnât catch all of what he said.
âthat iâm in love with my wife??â
hans chimes in, trying to be helpful, âyou donât have to tell people that. we can see it. sheâll be back soon.â
michael pinches the bridge of his nose. where was camila when they needed her.
âpeople can tell??â avaâs bottom lip trembles before she pushes her face into michaelâs chest. michael waves off hans, alluding to an explanation later. âmikey, i think iâm fucked.â
âi think youâre drunk, ava. you and beatrice will figure it out soon.â michael can feel her tears soaking into his shirt as he pats her back and reaches to the bar for his pint. he takes a heavy swig of his beer.
in the past year, heâs seen beatrice talk about ava, to ava, look at her across a room, and heâs not sure how or when to bring up these observationsâbut heâll give lilith a call tomorrow to compare notes. he sighs, knowing lilith will be mean about it but also provide her own evidence. he guesses ava was rightâbrilliant.

just a shout out to @snowandwolves who wakes up to 4 videos from me talking about various topics in various states of sobriety & intoxication & then a whole ass fic idea written out with a basic plotline & 3-6 scenes with dialogue & usually ending with âlmao then idek they fall in love or whatever. idk how to resolve everything else.â
hi iâd like to be financially dominated bc i need a laptop that doesnât die randomly to write these bc i hate writing on my phone. hereâs all the avatrice fic ideas iâve practically laid out & written at @snowandwolves:
- and they were neighbors - this came from the idea of beatrice stress baking & she runs out of sugar, so she asks her neighbor⌠(prob set in NY bc idk how to NOT write about this city & its weirdness) â starts v cute. gets kinda devastating sorry in advance.
- the 100 au - somehow emotionally more aching but no one (important) dies - avaâs born with a disability & out of wedlock, which means sheâs treated as a burden on the ark. her mom was floated when ava was a child. dr. salvius would adopt her if she didnât have her son michael. but she treats her with ancient technology. beatrice has only known obligation to her people on the ground. loss is to be expected as commander. love is weakness. then, yknow, a girl with a halo falls from the stars & what other choice does beatrice have but to fall too?
- fallout 4 au - beatrice wakes up 200 years of cryo sleep when the bombs dropped. her parents who afforded the vault died. her secret romance with lucia makes her long for closure. she makes her way to diamond city looking for answers and meets a nosy reporter who enjoys causing problems for diamond cityâs mayor. ava and her âbrotherâ diego are doing their best to find the truth in the hellscape that is 2224. (also just imagine bea in power armorââmy knight in semi-rusted armor!â â ava prob)
- college au - iâve written bits on here before (also set in NY bc idk what college town culture is like) - beatrice has everything planned out. ava is winging everything bc she was never supposed to get this far. (thereâs a sequel to it that iâm plotting too & iâm sorryâŚ)
- now & then au - itâs the 90s. basically i watched the scene where roberta plays baseball with boys. âgirls canât play ball. why donât you go home and play with your dolls??â (âthe only dolls ava has are GI JoesâŚâ â camila) [ava punches him] beatrice pulls her off of him. âpsycho bitch. too bad your momâs dead and canât teach you to act like a ladyâ [cue beatrice pushing ava back so she can kick his assâgets a fat lip & black eye but NO ONE says that shit to ava.]
- airbnb au - (letâs pretend this isnât messing up the housing market đ ) bea is financially independent of her parents & needs cash so sheâs a superhost. where bea lives is quiet & peaceful. ava fucks that up. in an ava silva perfect kinda way. ava visits once a year over several years. they start falling in love but ava never stays.
less hashed out ideas:
- smallville/superman/supergirl au
- avatar/lok au
- this is how you lose the time war au (bc that book is my roman empireâall versions & threads of it)
if these exist already my b but i promise promise itâs coincidentalâhavenât been reading much fics lately (other than seabiscuitâs western au).
LOL i saw your post about your most popular post and i just wanted to see what it was hahahah. but I'm not sure if you know that you definitely have more popular posts hahahahaha go to this link (matthewbilyeu(.)com/tumblr-top/blog/closetcasefabray). it takes a while to load. i wanted to send you a screenshot but i couldn't find a way.

but thank you! i guess i lost track of those posts lol. oh carmilla and clexa!
