Summary
"The boss' fucking son got the job. Out of a pool of dedicated applicants. You can't just deny nepotism like that," he said. "I'm Isak, by the way. I didn't catch your name?"
Leaning against the metal banister in the elevator, the other man was the picture of calm. "I'm the boss' fucking son," he said.
Isak and Even don't start out on the best of terms. Isak had been waiting nearly a year for the position of researcher to open up again. If he got it, he'd be working his dream job within one of the best biotechnology companies in the world. He applied for the position, heart in his throat, only to be passed over for the new recruit. When he discovered the new hire was also the son of the CEO, well, that was an unforgivable offense.

Summary
“I mean, I already have a thing with – “ Isak waves his hand in the air. Conjuring up a girl should be way easier than this. Magnus had a girlfriend at Bakka for three months, and Isak doubts that she ever existed. All Isak has to do is make up a name, but his mouth dries up. He clears his throat. “A thing with – “
“Even,” the guy says, extending his hand for Emma to shake.
(Or, the fake relationship AU.)

Summary
Even leans back in his chair. “You know, not everyone joins a book club because they’re blackmailed into it.”
Isak rolls his eyes. “Still.”
“I like books.”
[Or: In which Vilde starts a book club because someone else already started kosegruppa, Even is a book nerd, who recites poetry, and Isak struggles to see the point of reading boring books when he could just watch the film versions; except, that he meets Even, so maybe book club isn't that much of a waste of time as he's previously thought.]

Summary
“Cool shirt”. Isak nodded at the guy's chest, where a faded print of Notorious B.I.G.’s face was plastered over the front. "...Very oldschool." He added with a smirk.
“Thanks. You're a Biggie-fan?” the guy smiled.
Isak licked his bottom lip. “Uh huh, sure, I like the old stuff, like Juicy.“

Summary
Even's ready to spend a chill senior year enjoying his last year of high school before graduation. But first he'll need to pass Chemistry, a class he's so spectacularly bad at that it’d take a miracle. What's more, he's landed the notorious Isak Valtersen as a lab partner. What little is known about Isak comes from largely outlandish and unfavorable rumors: whispers have ranged from him being a ruthless heartbreaker to his rumored participation in underground fight clubs.
But the boy sitting beside him every 3rd period period seems far from the rumors, and Even’s fascinated. Isak wears his hood up indoors. He doesn’t talk much. He scowls more than he smiles. And for someone who sleeps through every class, he aces every exam. Even just so happens to desperately need a Chem tutor, but he wants to be Isak’s friend more, and he’s happy to use as many terrible chemistry puns as it’ll take to get there.
Throw in a class president election that Even somehow finds himself running for, an actual underground fight club, and the fact that their lab experimentation isn’t the only chemistry happening between him and his lab partner, and somehow—Even finds his senior year turning out a little less chill than expected.

Summary
“This Friday is 420,” Catra announces, like she’s figured out some unsolvable puzzle. “You don’t have class or work. We’re gonna get you stoned and have the best high holiday ever.”
“Oh. That sounds absolutely terrible,” Adora reponds.
---
Adora's mostly sure that she's dating Catra. They see each other just about every day and have sex and go on dates. So yeah, probably dating.
She tries to suggest a fun idea that they can do together. Maybe smoke a little pot and hang out? Low maintenance, low risk. Like all plans involving Catra, this escalates then derails quickly. Hijinks and fluff ensue. Will Adora ever just have one nice day with her chaotic cat?

Summary
“Look, can I ask you something? It’s your birthday so I don’t know if you’ve set any boundaries on hook-ups but…”
“Hooking up?” And then Adora just can’t stop, “Oh, no, I’m not hooking up. I mean. I have, but not now. Not, uh, a thing I do really. Um...yeah.”
Catra is kind enough to try to hold back her smile.
“Well, you just made this super awkward,” she breathes out. “I was gonna ask if your friend was single. You're hot and all. But every word out of your mouth has been a total bummer, not gonna lie.”
Adora has died and gone to lesbian hell. She always knew it would come to this.
__Adora Gray's life is on track, just the way she likes it – ever steady, no surprises. And then Catra Morgan crashes her birthday party and turns everything upside down by dating her best friend Glimmer and making Adora fall for her.
That's fine! Adora is not panicked at all, thank you very much. She has some detailed, multi-step plans to ignore her growing feelings and navigate this all. But Catra, and her past, have a pesky tendency of showing up and throwing everything for a loop.

Summary
“We can be honest and say we met freshman year. They'll ask when we started dating and we'll say-”
Catra finishes, “When the new semester started. You came back with that undercut and all I wanted to do was feel it against the inside of my thighs.”
Like she probably planned, Adora gasps. “Catra! You can't say that to my friends!”
“Can I say it to you?” Catra whispers, very suggestively, right next to the blonde’s ear.
---
Adora's friends love trying to set her up. This New Years', she's devised a plan to stop that from happening - paying her bratty classmate to pretend to date her for one night.

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
'“Huntara asked Adora out, and she said no. She said no to the girl she’s been crushing on for a year.” Glimmer says. Her gaze follows the path Adora had taken in her haste to get away, and she frowns. “She had a major crush, and the girl finally notices her, and she says no. And when I asked her about it, she got all… weird.”
Bow shrugs. Apparently, he doesn’t see that this is all wrong. “Maybe she just lost interest.”
Glimmer shakes her head. No. It isn’t that simple, and she knows it. She knows how to read Adora, and she knows what she’s like when she’s lying.
Adora is hiding something, plain and simple.
And Glimmer is going to find out what it is.'
or... Adora has a secret girlfriend and Glimmer is nosy.

'Glimmer would have a field day if she knew. Adora can almost hear the inevitable teasing of 'wow, Adora, you have a crush on someone and you don’t even know them'.
She ignores inner-Glimmer for once. No, she doesn’t know Cyra’s real name, and Cyra doesn’t know Adora’s. All Adora knows for sure about her real identity is that she’s also a senior at Etheria High.
But Adora knows her. She knows her heart, knows her soul, and that’s what matters.'
Or, the Catradora love simon au that nobody asked for.

Summary
All the pressure and tension that Catra had been shoving down around Adora for years, afraid to act on because she knew—thought she knew—that her friend would never feel the same—it was all back with a vengeance, crushing the air out of her chest with its full weight, making her breathing tight and shallow.
She couldn’t have broken Adora’s heated gaze if she’d wanted to.
And it was going to burn her.

Summary
“Aren’t you two—”
“If you’re done talking about Adora and Catra getting married,” says Entrapta, with all the subtlety and tact of a sledgehammer, “I have calculated the voltage needed…”
Wherever the rest of Entrapta’s sentence is going to go, it falls away. The whole room falls away as understanding hits Catra like a bolt of lightning, an electrifying shock to her system that leaves her reeling. Getting married? Her and Adora? Questions well up on her tongue — What? Why? — and she doesn’t realize she has fumbled through those fragmented inquiries until Frosta answers her.
“Um. You’re wearing Adora’s pin.”
