Summary
Catra thought she had died a long time ago. Sacrificing herself to save Glimmer from Horde Prime’s fleet, she awoke instead as a broken gladiator on Klagthorn, scarred, amputated, and trapped in a cycle of blood and survival. For years, she endured the arena and the chains of her captors, numbing herself with Rust and burying every memory of love and hope.
When Adora appears in the shadows of her prison, everything Catra tried to bury comes clawing back. Rescuing her is only the beginning. Between the scars of enslavement, the weight of addiction, and the looming war against Prime, both women must navigate a fragile path toward healing and trust. As Adora shoulders the burden of leadership and Catra fights to reclaim her identity, their love is tested by the brutal reality of war and the ghosts of their past.

Summary
Rare neutral ground between the warring forces of the Eternian Empire and the Galactic Horde, Etheria Station is a safe haven nestled in the center of the Whispering System.
Adora finds herself a deserter of both the Horde and the Eternian forces; seeking refuge in the only place in the galaxy left to her, she struggles to figure out what kind of life she wants to lead on Etheria Station now that she isn't a soldier any more. It doesn't take long for Catra to show up on the station, claiming that she's defected from the Horde, but Adora can't shake the feeling that of all the Horde's covert operatives, Catra is the one most uniquely qualified to successfully pull off a delicate 'retrieval' of a wayward Force Captain Adora.

Summary
The Demon Queen grinned, her tail waving through the air with glee. “We’re going to be together forever now. Can’t you sense it?” Catra asked. “Call to me whenever you have a request, and I’ll come by.” She smiled again. “Money. Jewels. Pleasurable company. Name it, and it’s yours.” She paused, shooting Adora a sultry smirk. “Of course, my company alone is pleasure enough, isn’t it?”
Really? Adora thought. This is what I’m stuck with now? “Selling you my soul was one thing. I did not agree to put up with your flirting.”
Catra’s tail was waving through the air as the demon sent her an amused smile. “You’ve got some fire for a mortal. Oh, this is going to be a fun eternity with you at my side.”
OR
Adora reluctantly offers her soul to Catra, the beautiful, powerful, and insatiable Queen of the Demons. It’s both the best and worst decision she’s ever made.

Summary
“Could I get your number?” they ask, as if they’re not still a completely faceless enigma that’s been making one-sided passes for two weeks now.
“So I’m supposed to exchange messages with someone who I wouldn’t even be able to pick out of a police lineup if this ends up being just a long con to get me to join a cult?”
To her shock, they place an elbow on the bar, lean over, and lower the hood.
“Does this increase my chances?” they ask with a goofy smile.
They're cute. Like 90s teen drama cute. Like Catra could see them singing fucking annoying pop songs outside her window cute. That’s not good. This person is absolutely trouble.
“Fuck,” Catra breathes out. It kinda feels like someone just kicked her right in the gut in a thrilling way. “You couldn’t have the decency to make this easier by being ugly?”
Catra finally meets the woman of her dreams/nightmares, a goofball blonde with big captain save-a-ho energy. She's easy going, gets Catra's jokes, and likes her band, even though it's pretty shitty and Catra's sabotaging them from the inside. It's just a shame that the girl is already competing on a reality show for 20 women's hearts.
