    Summary

    The war is over. Horde Prime’s death has ushered in an era of unprecedented peace in Etheria, with She-Ra and the Alliance at its helm. And against all odds, Adora has feelings for Catra - loves her, even. Catra’s never had more to be grateful for in her life.

    Somehow, it’s still not enough.

    Summary

    Catra flees through the Whispering Woods. Adora chases after her. Instead of merely grabbing her by the wrists, Adora pushes Catra a bit further.

    Things diverge quickly from there.

    Summary

    Catra loves Adora.

    Once upon a time, it was a shameful secret Catra couldn’t even admit to herself. Now half of Etheria knows.

    But professing your feelings when you both might die is one thing. Doing it day after day is another.

    Vulnerability is terrifying.

     

    Catra learns how to push past her fear and express her feelings to Adora.

     

    (Rated mature because sex is one way to show your feelings for someone.)

    Summary

    Adora and Catra have been dating for five years. In those five years, they've built a beautiful life together, with a great apartment and amazing group of friends.

    They'd discussed marriage before, but there hadn't been any proposal planning from either side just yet.

    At least Catra thought so until Adora tried measuring her ring finger as she slept.

    Summary

    Adora has never been particularly good at communicating her emotions, or wants, or difficulties. Maybe she's just not good at communicating period. But that's fine. Nobody needs to know that nightmares plague her sleep, or that she can't stand to be in a room full of her friends because she might burst into tears. Nobody needs to know that no matter what she does, she still can't be happy. Even after the war is over.

    Maybe especially because the war is over.

    Summary

    There are many ways to seize control of a human mind. Hate, envy, thwarted desire - all are powerful tools, and all have been wielded by Light Hope to great effect in the past.

    But not this time. This time, Light Hope chooses differently.

    (Alternate “Promise” fic with Adora!protag where instead of driving Catra and Adora apart, Light Hope…well. You’ll see 😉)

    Summary

    After the war ended, Catra still struggles to trust and to believe that she deserves to be trusted. With her girlfriend's not-so-subtle help, she forces herself to get along with the people who were once her enemies. She discovers a lot about herself, what it means to be a friend, and how perhaps she can teach the princesses a thing or two as well.

    Also known as: I wish Catra got more interactions and bonding time with our protagonists after she changed sides.

    You don't need to read everything to understand, but some parts will have minor references to others.

    Summary

    Adora’s always known Catra as a rebel, which is why it blindsides her that Catra would reject joining the Rebellion. It’s not until later that Adora connects that Catra’s acts of rebellion and Adora’s were from completely different views.

    Adora rebels against the system.

    Catra rebels within the system.

    And that makes all the difference.

    Summary

    It’s been one year since the events at the Heart. One year since they defeated Lord Prime and have settled into their lives in Brightmoon. Catra has Adora, their relationship is blooming, Catra has (dare she admit it) friends, is helping to rebuild the planet. Everything is perfect...except, maybe it isn’t.

    Catra has been having dreams. Dreams she can’t explain, featuring things and places she can’t put a name to. And she’s worked too damn hard to get here to let it all go down the drain because of some dumb nightmare.

    The only place that has answers? Halfmoon, the underground city of magicats that disappeared when the Horde first started taking over Etheria. Only problem is, they have no idea where that is or how to get there.

    And the answers they’re looking for...are they ones Catra can accept?

    Summary

    Catra never was good at coping when people hurt her - because she wasn’t taught to be, and besides, everything hurt all the time.
    She knows why, now, and tries to deal with her feelings in a better way; but there are still lapses.

    They can’t pretend they were expecting anything else. It was the actual Goddess of the Ever After, Mother of the Two Brothers, who straight up told them “Not where, but when.” Of course they wound up 10 years in the past.

    The real question is, what can five heroes stuck in the past do to save the world? As it turns out, a whole lot! All they need is a plan…and Ruby’s got a hell of an idea.

    Summary

    "You look out for me, and I look out for you. Nothing really bad can happen as long as we have each other"

    As Adora looks out from the highest point in Brightmoon Castle, she doesn't see the sunlight glinting off of the ocean waves. She doesn't hear the chattering of the citizens below her going about their day. All she can sense are the ghosts of her past, and the whisper of a promise long broken.

    Force Commander Catra, the greatest military leader the Horde has seen in decades, the architect of a dozen campaigns of conquest, is dead. The Princess Alliance, more importantly She-Ra, has to decide how to react to this development in their war. On one hand, the Horde just lost what may have been their greatest asset, the person almost solely responsible for their rapid advance across the continent. On the other hand, Adora is faced with her reopened wounds, and the prospect of a future without her former best friend.

    She would never let herself dream that halfway across the continent that same Magicat is waking up to a new future of her own. A struggle for survival, and a journey to find some kind of peace with who she is and what she's done.
