Summary
Adora Greyskull is the biggest pop star in the world
and Catra's ex-best friend.
After the fight, Catra spent months ignoring Adora's calls and messages, doing anything she could to avoid her. Catra was pretty successful so far.
Until Adora showed up on her doorstep the day before Christmas Eve.

Summary
Adora had wondered briefly, if there was something between Glimmer and Bow. She saw the way they touched each other absentmindedly. Turns out people outside of the Horde show physical affection on a daily basis. Who knew.
She had once imagined how Catra would react to this information. If she'd be thrilled or embarrassed to know they could just lean on each other and not have to reserve it for the privacy of their rooftop.
Well.
Adora supposes it's Catra's rooftop now.
But she doesn't have to think about that right this second.
____
Five times Adora represses herself and the one time she doesn't.

Summary
Catra clenches her fists. She won’t let it happen. She won’t endanger their future. “We can’t change anything. We’ll just have to wait, and do everything the same way we did before.”
Adora grabs Catra’s shoulders. Her grip is so tight, it’s nearly painful. “But do you realize what that means for us? Playing along. Letting things go the exact same way as before–”
Catra’s expression darkens. “I know,” she says, struggling to keep her voice from trembling. “You’ll have to leave. We’ll have to be enemies again.”
***
Years after defeating Horde Prime, Catra and Adora inexplicably wake up in the past—on the day that Adora first found the sword. If they're going to make it back to the present, they'll have to relive their past from start to finish, pretending to be enemies despite being in love. Despite being married. Despite knowing exactly how the story ends.But it's not easy, waging war against the person you love most.
(now read the sequel, immemorial)!

Summary
The star really tied the whole thing together. Adora lowers herself down and Catra hops off her shoulders. "Not bad." Catra says, gesturing to the tree. She turns to look at Adora who wasn't looking at the tree, she was staring at Catra for god knows what reason.
"Yeah," Adora says and her voice is thick for some reason but she presses on. "we make a pretty good team." Catra bumps her shoulder against Adora's.
"Yeah," Catra says, grin spreading across her face, she examines the tree again. "we do." They shuffle closer and Catra feels Adora's hand beside her own and before she knows what she's really doing she connects their pinky fingers together. They stand like that for a while before settling back on the couch.
Or, the Christmas au I spent countless hours on because Christmas makes me soft and what could be better than a catradora Christmas au with them as childhood best friends turned lovers?

Summary
After Horde Prime is defeated, there's still much left to be resolved. What to do with all his abandoned clones? What punishment does Hordak deserve for his role in Etheria's suffering? How to restore the Fright Zone to Scorpia's family and what to do with all the indoctrinated soldiers still living there? What to do about the possibility of more magic-based worlds that were converted to weapons by the First Ones - or the possibility that Horde Prime was smart enough to make a backup of his consciousness? And the most important question of all - will Catra and Adora ever be allowed some alone time to explore their newly admitted love for one another?
COMPLETE as of 2020-09-10: Written as a sort of "Season Six", this story covers the post-war fallout, a long space adventure to find and destroy Prime's backup consciousness, a slow-burn exploration of what a Hordak redemption arc might look like, and lots and lots of Catra/Adora character study, hurt/comfort, fluff, and occasionally smut. There are some violent action scenes, but no character death.

Summary
Everything fell apart so suddenly. First, the ship was attacked. Then Catra and Adora started arguing. And now Adora is quite literally being hunted—and unable to turn into She-Ra to properly defend herself.
How could it have gone so wrong so quickly?
Of course, Catra knows the answer. Just as Glimmer and Bow had known the answer, and tried to warn her.
The jacket. If Catra hadn’t destroyed Adora’s stupid lucky jacket, none of this would have happened.
(In other words: A fashion-forward Catra attempts to dispose of Adora’s crusty-ass Horde jacket. Chaos ensues.)

Summary
Series of One-Shots concerning the misadventures of our favourite characters (mainly focusing on Catradora) set before, during, and after the series. Ratings vary, because these kids, at the very least, deserve to swear. Themes range from tooth rotting romance to mental issues, anxiety, hurt/comfort, healing an more! Each shot is a stand-alone piece, but follows a continuity that is either explicitly stated or hinted at. It follows the "3 years between S1 and S5" line of thought, so if Catra and Adora were 17-18 at the start of the series - and the rest of the cast (sans Frosta, Entrapta and Spinnetossa) around similar ages - everyone is at least in their late teens/early twenties for post-canon shenanigans.

Summary
"As soon as she saw who the client was, her words died in her throat. Her drink slipped out of her hand a second later, but Catra couldn’t bring herself to care about the stain it would leave in the carpet.
Across the table from her boss, wearing a perfectly-tailored suit that looked more expensive than most of Catra’s tuition payments, was Adora.
As in, that Adora. The one Catra dated for all of college.
The one that broke her heart four and a half weeks before graduation.
The one that, according to what she’d said on the last day Catra had seen her, had fallen out of love with her."
Or, six years ago, Adora and Catra were college students in love. Then, in one fateful meeting at a coffee shop, Adora broke Catra's heart.
Now Catra's a junior partner at a law firm handling a patent dispute for Adora's family company. The two of them have to re-enter the other's life in an attempt for closure, catharsis, and connection.

Summary
Bow sighed, twisting a dense lock of her hair between his fingers. “Catra, do you want your relationship with Adora to last forever?”
Her gaze shot up to glare at him. “Of course.”
“Have you told her that?”
Her expression clouded. She blinked a few times, sending tears down the side of her face, before she looked away. “Not in so many words.”
“Maybe you should.”
“What,” she drawled with a bitter lilt, “are you suggesting I should propose?”
“Maybe.”In which Catra proposes twice.

Summary
(Contains SPOP season 5 spoilers!)
Catra was certain of only two things, she decided, one being how much she loved Adora and how much Adora loved her. The other was just as simple. Maybe even more so.
“Everything is going to be okay, isn’t it?”
Adora laughed, and God if it wasn’t the most beautiful sound Catra had ever heard. “Yeah. I think it is.”
(A collection of Catradora fluff prompts.)

Summary
“We should have something that’s ours, you know?”
And Catra can’t fight her on that. It’s been years since the war, but old habits die hard, and Adora is still learning how to be selfish. How to just say no when she wants to, sleep when she needs to, let go of her burdens when they weigh her down. She gets better day by day. And if Adora wants to build something of her own from the ground up, so be it. It’s not in her nature to do things the easy way.
Catra laces their fingers together. She kisses the back of Adora’s hand. “I’m in.”

Catra, Adora, and a home out in the woods.

The Horde is gone. Good riddance. But the galaxy has spent thousands of years under its tyrannical heel, and dozens, perhaps hundreds of planets have been stripped of their magic. The Best Friend Squad saved Etheria, and now it's up to them to bring magic back to the universe.

Summary
They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.
But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.
