Summary
Five years after the summer Alberto Scorfano met his two best friends, he’s proud to say he’s already well-versed in how to human. Sailing a boat? Check. Handling harbour market sales? Check. Using his sea monster form to help Signor Marcovaldo collect the best barnacles? Check. Other knowledge has eluded him, though—for example, the appropriate name for the way his heart races every time Luca calls him “caro”.
When June of 1968 arrives to Porto Rosso, and Giulia and Luca return from Geneva with troublesome news, Alberto wishes things would stay as they were in 1963. But as the Underdogs work together to help Giulia avoid the rigid expectations placed on her by her mother, and life in Porto Rosso gets turned upside down once more, he can't help wondering whether sometimes changes might be the start of something better.

Summary
“I want you,” Hordak interrupted, “to join the Rebellion.”
Uh. What?
Catra scoffed.
“Oh, yeah, right, except the second I step foot in Bright Moon, someone’s going to blow me up with magic and rainbows. I wouldn’t exactly say I have a low profile anymore, how do you expect me to get near the princesses or any of their plans?” she asked.
“That is for you to figure out, Lieutenant. But I expect you back here with a full report in two weeks. If you cannot return to me in the time frame I’ve given you, don’t bother returning at all. This is your chance at redemption, Catra, do not let it slip away,” Hordak ordered, his eyes deadly serious.
“You are dismissed.”
Or: How Catra finds herself rotting in a Bright Moon dungeon.

Summary
my past has tasted bitter for years now, so i wield an iron fist
grace is just weakness or so I've been told
i've been cold, i've been merciless
but the blood on my hands scares me to death
maybe i'm waking up todayOR
Catra fucks up bad, and Adora is doing it all wrong. Perhaps they'll get it right in the end.
