no_takebacks | Kara/Lee fic recs: Lay Down Your Burdens I & II (Reply)

With the return of the rewatch (and don't forget, this week's rewatch of LDYB I will take place SUNDAY at 10 PM EDT), we return you to your regularly scheduled recs as well. And, oh, finale fic, how I love you...

Please keep in mind, folks, that this is only the tip of the iceberg that is 2.19 & 2.20 fic, and that I am well aware of this. There is a vast amount of truly awesome fic out there concerning (and/or taking off from) these two episodes. For now I've picked just a few of my favorites, with the intention of adding more when my fingers aren't about to fall off. :D Until then, by all means, feel free to comment here with any fics I haven't listed that you feel should be required reading by Kara/Lee shippers.
