    Summary

    This story continues straight after the finale of She-Ra and far, far beyond - all the way to the farthest reaches of space. The clones are still out there, somewhere, and so is Angella, but before Catra can deal with any of that she must learn to live with the terrible mistakes of her past. Only then will she feel worthy of Adora's love, as well as the unwavering friendship of the Best Friend Squad.

    Summary

    Adora, anxious to get a fresh start after the death of her parents and twin brother in a car accident, moves to the small town of Bright Moon. She’s far from happy about it and just wants to forget about her ongoing complications from the accident, graduate, and get out again.

    Catra is just as desperate to get out of Bright Moon herself. Stuck in a house with an emotionally abusive mother and keeping a lot of secrets, Catra knows that the only way she’ll ever feel okay is if she gets the hell out. After a string of awkward encounters, both are perfectly fine with keeping a mutual avoidance policy in place.

    But then the first body is found, and Catra and Adora are thrown together in grizzly circumstances where one thing is certain.

    Nothing will ever be the same again.

    Summary

    Catra is a simple refugee from the Horde, having escaped from the slums of the Fright Zone. After being arrested for thievery, she isn't expecting much when hauled before Adora, Empress of Etheria. The punishment she receives is a bit lighter than she was expecting.

    Or: Catra gets drunk, sleeps in the Empress's bed, and falls in love in about two days.

    Summary

    The fire climbs to an even greater height, crackling and whipping in the light desert breeze. Catra watches it with rapt attention, fearful to let her gaze linger on Adora for too long.

    “But we don’t have to fight, you know,” Adora says. “I mean...what’s the point of it now? There’s no rebellion here. And no Horde. There’s just you and me, and a lot of things that wouldn’t hesitate to kill either of us.”

    “So, what?” demands Catra. “We pretend to be a team again? After everything?”

    “If it keeps us alive,” says Adora. “I’m willing to put all that aside if you are.”


    Catra and Adora end up exiled to the Crimson Waste together. If they're going to conquer gangs, quicksand, serpents, and other desert threats, they'll need to learn to trust one another again.
