Summary
“Ms. Weaver left very specific instructions in the event of her demise. She would not want the fruits of her hard work to fall into unworthy hands. And she did not believe in handouts. It was her wish for one of you to earn your inheritance. She hand-selected the 10 of you. If you can make it through one single night in this house, you will get everything.”
Adora's eyes shoot across the room. She notes that pretty much everyone looks like they're just taking this in. Interest and suspicion fill most of their faces in equal measure.
“This is ridiculous,” Glimmer says. “This is some kind of prank.”
“I assure you, Miss, that I don't have a sense of humor,” Hordak tells her.
Just one night in the creepy mansion that haunted Adora’s childhood nightmares and she can be rich. Rich enough to pay for med school, help her mom out, and secure her dreams. There’s only 9 other people to outlast, including her two best friends, a shady cast of characters she doesn’t trust, and the girl she’s been in love with her whole life. Easy.

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.

Summary
“I'm leaving Halfmoon,” Catra interrupts, with great indignation. “I'm leaving and finding a suitable mate.”
“No,” is all C’yra finally says.
Catra has already quietly wandered over to the other side of the room where Lonnie keeps her reading and work materials. Catra unfoils an ancient map of Etheria.
“Now,” she mumbles to herself, “How to pick a destination? There must be someplace out there. Something bigger and brighter than Halfmoon.”
Lonnie snorts at the absurdity of this. Catra’s “plan” doesn’t even have a location yet. How typical.
Prince Catra gives a sudden trill. “Bright Moon! What a dumb name. I love it.”
Prince Catra of Halfmoon must find a mate and solidify her connection with the runestone before her 25th birthday if she wants to inherit the throne. Unfortunately, she's either alienated or rejected every eligible woman in the kingdom. But maybe she'll have better luck in Bright Moon. Especially after a chance meeting with a certain blonde with a hero complex.

Summary
With both their commanding officers gone, the remnants of Catra's old squad find themselves turning to an unlikely ally: Entrapta.
Entrapta doesn't understand much about the rumours which now follow her (they are numerous and explicit) or the power structure of the Horde (which she's openly flaunting) but she'll never turn down a chance to make some useful friends.
