    Summary

    Asami Sato can say no. She can refuse to believe that the world is on the edge of something beyond terror and comprehension. She can reject the possibility that grieving for the death of her father is necessary, as he was already dead to her once before. She can close your eyes, cover her ears and convince herself that everything is fine. That she's fine. Through grinding teeth and a belly full of rage, she's fine.

    All of these problems, these impossible problems with no solution that involve science humanity was never meant to understand, are manageable. Spirit weapons are a terrifying threat, yes, and the fuel for them literally grows on trees, but she can fix it.

    She's Asami Sato, the Engineer. She can fix anything.

    It's in her blood.

    Summary

    Catra was used to drifting through life - never forging any connections, never planting any roots. She didn’t expect any of that to be different when life led her to a dreary little corn town. Though the cute farm girl down the road just might change that.

    Summary

    “Have you looked into how student benefits for our college work? ‘Cause I might have a better idea.”

    “Yeah, well, we didn’t qualify for any scholarships, so that’s out of the question,” Catra starts off, bitter. “We don’t have any disabilities that are medically certifiable, nor are we related to anyone who does. We’re not related to anyone at all, really, but that doesn’t seem to matter.”

    “It sucks,” Adora agrees offhandedly, blood rushing in her ears. “Go on.”

    “I don’t know. Parents? I’ve kinda just skimmed the rest of the page. All the focus on family was annoying.”

    Adora shrugs, trying to look and sound nonchalant. “Married couples, too.”

    Summary

    Catra and Adora stayed in the field all night, long after everyone else had left, and marveled at the stars together in silence.

    *The war is over, but there's still a long road ahead for all of them. They need to heal from their pasts, and discover who they are now. No longer children under the thumb of a dictator, or teenagers fighting a war, they will have to forge their own paths as young adults who are learning about their world through new eyes and venturing out into the universe to discover other planets and help them to heal from Prime's corruption.*
