Summary
Adora holds her glass up. “To life filled with happiness.”
She takes a second to really look at Adora. She’s wearing another suit today, this time without a vest. Gods, it’s unfair how good she looks. It’s also unfair that Catra finds herself again sitting across from this woman, wanting her. Although this time, she knows with painful accuracy exactly what she’ll be missing out on if she doesn’t take the opportunity.
She can tell that Adora is more subdued. It makes her think that she took Catra’s choice to not answer her texts often as disinterest. It’s definitely not that. If anything, Catra doesn’t want to come off as some wide-eyed girl who’s hanging off Adora because she’s starstruck. Yet, sitting this close to Adora, she can hardly think of the reasons why she shouldn’t try to rekindle what’s clearly still between them, just waiting to be set ablaze.
Catra raises her glass to meet Adora’s a light tinkling sound reverberating between them. “How about to a long night spent however we choose?”
OR
Adora and Catra, two lawyers, navigate sleeping together in different stages of life (alternatively, a fic I never thought I'd write). Age Gap/Lawyer AU.

Summary
After a lifetime of loss and trauma, Catra makes a life-changing promise to Bow and Glimmer that no-one ever expected her to make - least of all her girlfriend Adora, who has sacrificed her hopes of motherhood for a childfree life with Catra. Things get messy af.
Non-linear AU in which Catra is Bow and Glimmer's surrogate, and in which the lines between friendship, love, parenthood and survivorship blur. Potential triggering themes include childhood trauma, coming out and internalised homophobia, domestic violence, childbirth, infertility, loss, physical disfigurement, and exploration of ethnic/racial identity.
---
Catra knitted her eyebrows together, pressing her lips into a thin line. Adora caught her breath in her throat. She’d tried to avoid thinking too much about what this would be like, watching Catra in pain. It had been so many years since she’d seen Catra suffer, at least so visibly. She braced herself to keep focused in the moment, to not think back to the things she wished neither of them had had to live through. But it was so hard when Catra’s pain responses still seemed to look exactly the same…

pancakes for dinner by the_deaf_pomegranate for ResFlower

Summary
Amnesia AU - Catra and Adora have been living their happily ever after for eleven blissful years when tragedy strikes and a brain injury wipes everything from Catra's memory. Adora's left with a growing deadline and no semblance of a plan for getting their family back.
---
“We always have pancakes on Wednesdays,” Adora speaks firmly, bracing herself for the objection to come, “Routine’s important.”
Glimmer smiles softly, though it doesn’t reach her eyes. She moves over to Adora, a hand rubbing soft circles into her upper back. Adora pushes down the anger that bubbles illogically in her chest. It isn’t Glimmer’s fault that she’s here instead of Adora’s wife, or that Adora can hardly bear to be touched by anyone that isn’t Catra. Anyway, she’d appreciated the support from her best friends until today; in its own way, it had almost felt helpful before the unimaginable had happened.
