    Summary

    Adora has just moved back to her hometown after a long, failed attempt at making it in the big leagues when she gets an unexpected invitation from her ex to join the local queer recreational baseball league.

    There’s nothing wrong with a little friendly competition between exes, right? Adora and Catra may have failed at communicating in every other way, but they’ve always been completely fluent in baseball. It was their first language, after all. Plus, Adora already knows she’s going to love hoisting that championship trophy up over her head and rubbing it in Catra’s stupid gorgeous face when her team wins the league.

    "Sometimes I steal flowers from your garden, but today you've caught me and have demanded to come with me to make sure the "girl is pretty enough to warrant flower theft" and I'm trying to figure out how to break it to you that we're on our way to a graveyard" AU

    Summary

    Adora Greyskull is an idiot. And she's over at Catra's house practically every single day.
    But perhaps Catra's overestimated just how well she knows her sister's best friend. Maybe they're better equipped to understand each other than she's ever let herself imagine.

    Summary

    Adora is a cheerleader, the only ‘suitable’ sport for a girl to be involved in, per her parents. She’s unhappy, despite getting to spend time on the team with her best friends, cheer-captain Glimmer and her boyfriend Bow. Mostly, she’s pining over an incredible girl who doesn’t seem to notice her…
    Catra is the captain of the track team, runs a commanding ship, & is determined to make it to States this year, despite losing half the talent in the last graduating class. At practice one day, she notices a display of one of the most awkward- and athletic- talents from a random blonde she’s ever seen. She’s convinced they may have found the key to her team’s success; Now she has to convince this dumbass cheerleader to join up despite her hesitations.

    This is a bit of a swap from the norm: Catra the jockiest of jocks already, Adora the perfect athlete herself never having explored her talents.

    Summary

    Bright Moon was a small tourist town. The kind of place people visited, not the kind of place they stayed in. So for someone like Adora, looking to take a little time to grow up and prepare herself for the next step in her life, spending a year here made sense.

    It was just supposed to be a stop in the road to bigger and better things. But the people were so nice and Adora had never really had a lot of friends growing up.

    Then there was Catra. The kind of person that could throw a wrench into even the most well thought out plan.

    Summary

    Adora lagged a few steps behind Catra, wanting to appreciate the time they had together. Something in the way she moved was like a work of art: the way her hips swayed gently as she walked, the slight tilt to her head as she scanned the paintings, how her fingers absentmindedly ran through her messy short hair.

    Despite working in the museum for a year and a half, Adora had never considered herself qualified to appreciate art.

    Maybe being around Catra was changing that.

    Summary

    "You were just gonna leave?!" Adora asks, shaking Catra’s wrists clasped in her hands.

    Catra grunts, half-heartedly straining against Adora's grip. "How do you fucking always know where I am?"

    "You're not as sneaky as you think you are."

    Summary

    Catra and Adora had a plan: get out of Ms. Weaver’s house, make it to college, stay together.

    Adora abandoned the plan. Abandoned Catra.

    A few years later, Catra is pretty much okay again. Then, she inherits Razz’s house.

    With Adora.

    Summary

    “Ms. Weaver left very specific instructions in the event of her demise. She would not want the fruits of her hard work to fall into unworthy hands. And she did not believe in handouts. It was her wish for one of you to earn your inheritance. She hand-selected the 10 of you. If you can make it through one single night in this house, you will get everything.”

    Adora's eyes shoot across the room. She notes that pretty much everyone looks like they're just taking this in. Interest and suspicion fill most of their faces in equal measure.

    “This is ridiculous,” Glimmer says. “This is some kind of prank.”

    “I assure you, Miss, that I don't have a sense of humor,” Hordak tells her.


    Just one night in the creepy mansion that haunted Adora’s childhood nightmares and she can be rich. Rich enough to pay for med school, help her mom out, and secure her dreams. There’s only 9 other people to outlast, including her two best friends, a shady cast of characters she doesn’t trust, and the girl she’s been in love with her whole life. Easy.

    Summary

    Adora and Catra grew up as child stars in the public eye, best friends in real life and on screen, until the fight that tore them apart.

    By all appearances, they move on, living parallel lives that rarely cross.

    Until, that is, they’re cast as the leads in a film that forces them together for the first time in years.

    Summary

    “Dawn’s on its way,” the woman says lightly. “Coming or going?”
    “Going,” Catra responds. The woman’s eyes darken.
    “It’s one word, Catra. You’re seriously going to sit here and rot for your pride?”
    Catra nods, resolute. It doesn’t matter what this woman says— she has seen it time and time again, death hooking its claws into countless souls, dragging them to a world she has yet to see. “Death comes for us all.”
    The woman hums agreement. “Eventually, yes. In the meantime—" she pauses, eyes sliding over Catra.
    “Come what will.”

    or: catra may be immortal, but this woman will be the death of her.

    Summary

    "We’re not together, Adora just said a bunch of weird crap to me last night about how we’re not just friends.” She crosses her arms and slouches in her seat.

    “Uh…that kind of sounds like you’re together.” Bow points out gently, clearly trying to avoid lighting Catra’s fuse.

    “We’re not in a relationship!” She pops off anyway.

    “Yeah, no, just a domestic partnership.” Glimmer snarks.

    “Will you fuck off? She explicitly said it’s not romantic. She literally fucking said- you know what? It doesn’t matter, it didn’t make any sense anyway.”

    Catra and Adora navigate the confusing in between of being roommates who may be more than friends but are certainly less than lovers.

    Summary

    But most importantly, there was a topless woman standing in the center of her room, wearing only tiny black boyshorts.

    A very familiar topless woman.

    Adora felt like an absolute idiot. She’d only spent hours arguing against that voice, taking notes and studying the types of positions she was prone to taking. Trying not to get lost in those hypnotic mismatched blue and gold eyes or that knowing smirk and stumble over her words.

    “Catra?!” she said, trying and failing not to sound too surprised.

    Catra laughed easily. “You know, literally three people hit on me last night by telling me how unique looking I was and you’ve forgotten who I am twice! It’s humbling, at least.”


    Adora wakes up on Christmas with a hangover and a stranger. Well, not a stranger, really. Just her high school crush who she hasn't seen in forever. Eager to get more time with Catra, the two find themselves going on adventures around the city and maybe stumbling into a little Christmas magic.

    Summary

    Whoever the hell Catra’s soulmate was, they seemed to get banged up a lot. She was always waking up with random marks. For the first few years, it was the normal dings that a kid gets. In her teens, the bruises got bigger, like they were into karate or football or some other kind of contact sport. Over the last couple of years though, Catra had started to receive marks in the middle of the night. At first, she thought her soulmate was a cop (which, gross cause ACAB). Maybe a burglar? She’d hoped maybe they were a certain firefighter she knew. Last night confirmed it though.

    Catra, who never had anything normal happen to her, was matched with a godsdamn 8-foot tall glowing monster. How fitting.

    All she ever wanted was to hide in the background and be medium-happy. That wasn’t a lot to ask! Now she knew she was bound – completely, cosmically, irrevocably – to something weird and supernatural.

    Catra was, quite honestly, scared shitless.


    5 times Catra's mysterious soulmate saves her life. And the 1 time she gets to return the favor.

    Summary

    As their ten year high school reunion approaches, former best friends Catra and Adora must decide whether they want to attend and risk running into each other.
    They haven’t seen each other in years and a lot has changed since high school. But maybe not everything.

    -----
    This is a slow burn with no heavy themes. There will be some high school flashbacks sprinkled throughout, but most of the story is in a modern day AU with the main characters in their late 20s.
