Summary
When Adora is hurt during a routine mission, her connection to She-ra is fractured, leaving her unable to heal her injuries. Recovery will be a long and painful process, but Catra and her friends are there to make sure she doesn't have to deal with it on her own.
The real question is; how can she bring She-ra back, and is it worth the risk to bring her back at all?
Not if you ask Catra.

Summary
Unthinking Adora leans forward to tuck a loose tendril of hair behind Catra’s ear. Catra stills. Her ears and tail go rigid with anxiety, and it’s only then that Adora realizes how much Catra’s hair has grown in the last few months. At this length, pushed back behind her ears, it reminds Adora of…
She remembers the shock of seeing Catra’s hair, shorn and slicked back, on Horde Prime’s ship. She had never seen Catra’s hair that short in her life — and if she had, it would have been when they were too young for her to remember.
Without it, she had seemed so small.
“I’m sorry,” Adora says, snatching her hand back. “I didn’t mean to, I—”
“It’s fine,” says Catra. She runs a hand through her hair, effectively dislodging the piece that Adora has just brushed down. She catches Adora’s hand in hers and says, “If it’s you, it’s fine.”
_________A study of character and relationship growth through hair, or: Five times Adora helped Catra with her hair, and one time Catra helped Adora with hers.

Summary
Catra remembers her own sleepless nights and violent rages—the scratches she gouged in Adora’s bedding, the shriek of claws against metal as she defaced the silly sketch they had drawn together. She remembers lying awake for hours each night, unacknowledged tears leaking from her eyes as Adora’s scent slowly faded from her life. She takes a deep breath, filling herself up to banish the memories. Adora loves her. Adora stayed.
---
In the aftermath of Horde Prime's demise, Catra struggles to integrate into Etherian society as she and Adora explore their newfound relationship. Featuring major cuddles, minor angst, therapy, a surprise character development for Catra, and sweetly awkward fumblings toward physical intimacy. This fic also includes a few minor references to @Annacharlier's "Don't Go," which is canon as far as we all know, and to Noelle and Molly's amazing #BLM livestream. <3

Summary
"Plus, I- I don’t want her to think—” She tucked her face closer, mumbling.
Bow patted her arm. “Come on, use your words.”
A pause.
“… I don’t want her to think I’m needy ...”
There was a cough as Glimmer stifled a laugh. “Adora has needs.”
“Shut up! That’s not what I—”
“Hey! Hey.” Bow lowered his voice. “We know that’s not what you meant. Adora, it’s perfectly okay to want a hug from your girlfriend.”
“Is it?” she asked, small, genuine.Catra is both touch-starved and touch-averse and it's turning into a real problem.
