Sanvers

Sanvers is the femslash ship between Alex and Maggie from the Supergirl fandom.

Canon
Alex first meets Maggie at a crime scene, where she is frustrated by Maggie's wavering any FBI authority. They continue to cross paths and Alex finds herself drawn to Maggie. When Maggie invites Alex to go on a stakeout at an illegal underground alien death match ring, Alex finds herself nervous as if on a date. They start to hang out and Alex realizes she has feelings for Maggie and realizes she is gay, which prompts her to share it with Kara. Alex confesses her feelings for Maggie, but Maggie is wary of dating someone who's just finding out about this new part in their life. Alex thinks that Maggie doesn't feel the same way and is utterly devastated.

Alex tries to move on, but Maggie soon confesses that she had her own reasons for being hesitant and they finally start dating. Maggie opens up about her past relationships and traumatic experience with her homophobic parents, while Alex gradually learns what her new life is. They are incredibly happy together and, following Kara's advice to keep Maggie close, Alex proposes. Maggie accepts and the two are happily engaged, but realizing that Maggie doesn't want children, while Alex does, they end their engagement and part ways.
