Summary
“I don’t understand what’s up with you Catra…” Adora continued speaking but Catra couldn’t hear, the voices in her head were too loud.
Look what you’ve done, now you’ve scared her away. You were foolish and selfish enough to believe someone as perfect as Adora would love someone as broken as you.
The words screamed in her head.
OR
Catra and Adora's relationship finally goes beyond friendship for the first time back in the Horde, but only Catra gets to remember it.

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
The war is over, and the Spire Accords have ushered in a fragile peace. Rebuilding lives and trust is just as challenging as the battles fought.
Adora and Catra join their old squadmates at a settlement camp on the edge of former Horde territory, where displaced families and rescued children struggle to recover.
While Catra works to bridge the gap between the Horde and the Alliance to prevent new hostilities, Adora wrestles with the guilt she has yet to process fully. Together, they face the difficult task of mending fractured bonds and building a future from the ruins of the past.

Summary
Catra and Adora had always been a pair. From the moment they met as scared kids at the orphanage, they’d been inseparable. Catra was the sharp-tongued troublemaker while Adora was the kind and resorted golden child. Together they face the wrath of the tormenting walls of Shadow Weaver’s unit in the orphanage. Until they couldn’t hide the secrets in their hearts any longer.

Summary
“Oh.” She said.
“I know that... I know that we haven’t really talked about it but...” Adora licked her lips. “I love you. And I want to do this with you... if you want to.”
Want to? Catra couldn’t remember a time when she didn’t want Adora. When she didn’t yearn to feel her warmth, ache for her smile, burn for her touch. And it wasn’t like Catra hadn’t thought about sex... especially in regards to Adora. In the past few months they had often kissed and groped over clothes (and sometimes under) until Catra could smell the arousal between her girlfriend’s thighs... (she could smell it now) but they never went further. One of them always slowed it down until they blushed and claimed to be too tired to continue.
Catra ran her fingers through Adora’s golden hair. It was so soft, thanks to the extravagant soaps they were given here. Catra remembered the stale smell of the soap they’d used as cadets and how it always made Adora’s hair coarse and stiff. She’d run her fingers through it back then too.
“Well I can’t wait to see Sparkles’ face when you tell her why we’re late,” Catra snorted, praying to the ghost of Shadow Fucking Weaver that Adora wouldn’t hear the tremble in her voice.

Summary
So maybe immediately leaving Etheria isn't the best move they could possibly do.
As eager as Adora is to bring magic back to the universe, she also just wants to sleep. Her mind races with everything that's happened in the past 24 hours- defeating Horde Prime, nearly dying- multiple times- in the Heart of Etheria, releasing the magic, but also-
But also-
Catra kissed her.
And she wants to do it again.Bookmarked by NuclearChicken
