Summary
Victory against Horde Prime. Against all odds, they won. Love won. In the moment, Adora thought she'd found peace with She-Ra. She thought she figured it out and could move past war--both around her and within her. But with constant reminders of the events at the Heart and the War, immediate work to do in rebuilding Etheria, and whisperings of underground Horde loyalist factions still striving to carry out Prime's will, Adora, Catra, Bow, and Glimmer are forced to face destruction, buried remembrances, and open wounds on their path to a new beginning for Etheria and the larger universe.
A declaration of love freed the Heart, it didn't magically heal away every single wound.

Summary
“Let me be clear with ya.” The woman breathes against her face, and Catra has never wanted to both kiss and punch the lights out of someone more in her entire life. “I don´t trust you, I don't want you here and I don't care about you.” The woman grins, something a little bit crooked like the bridge of her nose, taunting Catra out of her wits. “Is that enough for you?”
~
Catra loves the rain, cold and sticking to her hair, making her steady where she doesn´t feel like she belongs. Adora is afraid of storms, the thunder in the sky and the memories that brings with. They are nothing alike and yet they are both the same. Like the Faerie fairy tales they both heard in their childhood beds, a thousand miles away from each other.Or
Catra grew up away from her homeland since she was a baby. Now that she is older and she has found out about the recent passing of her father, a lot of surprises await for her at the old Village of Alwyn. Not everyone is happy about that though, specially not Adora.

Summary
“What the fuck was that!” Adora jeers, shoving Catra into the wall and backing her there,
“What was what, princess?” Catra fakes innocence and it makes Adora’s blood boil,
“Flirting me while my Bow was right there. He can’t fucking see you and I look insane blushing over nothing,”
“Oh I’m well aware. I just like to see how flustered you get. It’s cute really,” Catra says,
“Shut up!” Adora sputters out. Catra’s face pulls into a devilish smirk,
“Make me,” Catra responds daringly.

Catra has been a ghost for six years. For every day of those six years she has been thrown around to new people with the purpose of trying to mend their broken souls. Only problem is, she never asked to be a ghost. She never chose this life, and she'll continue to reject it until she finds a reason not to.
Adora is paranoid. It's a simple fact that shapes everything she does. After a nasty breakup with a controlling girlfriend, Adora is trying to get her life back on track and put the pieces of her life back together. The last thing she needs is exactly what she gets; a bitchy ghost who’s always in a bad mood.

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.
OR: Adora's pov through the 5th anniversary comic Nate Stevenson released and Catradora's conversation afterwards.

Summary
After the fall of Prime, Etheria and the universe are able to experience peace for the first time. The war is over, but frustratingly Adora's body isn't getting the memo. After knowing nothing but life as a soldier for so long, she finds herself still reacting to everyday situations with the sense of urgency of someone at war. She can only feign being okay for so long before she ultimately has to accept help dealing with the effects of trauma, but admitting she has a problem will mean acknowledging that being a hero has done her more harm than good. (Slightly angsty fic about healing, will have a happy ending I promise)

Summary
Adora would never tell Catra, or honestly anyone, how she felt. She could never tell the stories of what happened all those years ago in the dark corners of the fright zone, and she definitely can’t show the way it effected her.
First she was a Shadow Weaver’s, child soldier, then a weapon, and now she’s just Adora.
.
Or, 5 times Adora hid what shadow weaver did to her, and the 1 time she didn’t. -

Summary
Adora’s life had all but turned into an endless pit of meaningless despair. She follows a routine she doesn’t understand in a body she doesn’t know and in a world that doesn’t care. Nothing makes sense and when she tries to make sense of it she just keeps getting deeper and deeper into this bottomless and crushing void.
-
basically it's Adora losing purpose and Catra healing her with her pussy
the story is sad in the beginning, then sad and sexy, then fluffy and sad then just fluffy (and a bit sexy idk)
heavily inspired by Edward Norton's character in Fight Club, bc that movie has me in a chokehold
please interact if you like it, it's my only motivation to try to write complex characters -

Summary
"I don't think 'retirement' is the actual word for it though- Oh!" He snaps his fingers, looking like he remembered something. "She's getting discharged! From the military! That's the word." he smiles to himself like he just finished a puzzle, seemingly satisfied.
"Oh? Military, huh?" She is caught by surprise, she can only imagine what a militarized female version of her boss looks like.
Or: Catra works in Adam's tatto parlor. But then, suddenly, his sister gets discharged from the army and everything just kind of goes downhill from there.

“I’m alright. I’ll be in soon. You should go ahead.”
“I think I’ll stay out here with you, if that’s the case.”
“Why?”
“Because I’d prefer you weren’t alone right now.”

Summary
Adora has been groomed to take over her father’s war torn kingdom since before she can remember: a perfect puppet, holding up a façade of power.
But, then the Pirates of the Horde enter, and maybe, she can see a glimpse of coveted freedom through the cotton wool they’ve pulled over her eyes.
