My Heart Still Burns (In the Wreckage of You) by Poputchik
Fandoms: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018)

Summary
Catra Diaz is the best helicopter pilot in her unit, but after a horrific accident, she abandons the military and takes a job as a life-flight pilot in Alaska. Five years later, her life has finally evened out - not quite happy, but content that at least she's not reliving the worst moment of her life every time she closes her eyes anymore. All it takes to shatter her fragile equilibrium is one voice - a voice she'd worked hard to forget, a voice she'd thought she was safe from.
It turns out that sometimes you can't outrun your guilt - but maybe you never needed to in the first place.
The Alaskan Search and Rescue Catradora AU that no one asked for, but I decided to write anyway.

Summary
Like perfect strangers, Catra and Adora are busy living their own lives, out in the country and deep in the city, respectively. But one night, they begin switching places, each waking the next morning in the other’s body without a clue to the cause. As the switches continue, the pair are faced with a daily choice – stay true to their opposite’s wishes or meddle in their affairs, spicing it up or perfecting it as they see fit.
Soon enough, the pair find themselves at each other’s necks, spiteful of the person on the other end of the line. But as they begin to see more of the world through the other’s eyes, Catra and Adora begin to feel their summer passions blossoming into something more, their lives now inextricably bound by the red string of fate. That cord continues to tighten as they explore the person they’ve become, until the pair must overcome a hardship greater than distance to find a way back to each other.

Summary
Before today, Catra hadn’t really had much of an opinion on corn mazes. They were okay— midwest tradition, a little cheesy but maybe kind of fun, depending on who you’re with. Just kind of...whatever. She’d never really thought about it.
Now, standing alone in what is possibly the biggest corn field she’s ever seen in her life, entirely lost, hours past sunset and probably miles beyond the maze’s borders, she’s starting to form a more colorful opinion of them.
Well— she’s not entirely alone, because blondie here won’t stop following her. It’s getting kind of annoying, honestly, even though she’s the only person for miles and Catra’s one shot at getting out of this shitty field once and for all. She's not sure how much longer she can deal with this girl’s incessant positivity and that cocky smile she keeps throwing Catra’s way, either. It would all be fine (maybe even a little fun) if the girl weren't so obviously straight.
But it’s fine. Catra can take care of herself.

Summary
Coping with her stressful studies on the way to certification as a physiotherapist, Adora has fallen into a local community theatre as a way to have fun and make new friends. She's made a place for herself there and everything is going great when she lands one of the lead roles of their newest play - until she shows up to the first rehearsal and the person cast in the role of her romantic opposite is Catra, who she hasn't seen since the breakup eight years ago when she left Catra behind to move across the country for a soccer scholarship.
But there's no denying the obvious chemistry between them when they get on stage, and the director won't hear of anybody else playing the roles.

Summary
Hope Van Dyne was told a lot of things about S.H.I.E.L.D. by her father throughout her life. The most important being, to never trust them. But that all changes when she comes head to head with Maria Hill, the agency’s deputy director. Before she knows it, Hope finds herself deeply entangled with – not only – S.H.I.E.L.D., but also with Agent Hill herself.
Note: This is primarily a Hope/Maria FemSlash fic with some positive Hope/Scott & Maria/Natasha representation within it. In this house we respect Ant-Man & Black Widow.

Holy shit.
Her hands barely made it up to her mouth in time to stifle a yelp.

Or, a Soulmate AU where Catra is afraid of opening up to people and Adora has no idea what's going on.

Summary
“The aliens, you mean,” Catra said.
“The visitors,” Glimmer said, “are our guests.”
“You said they knew She-Ra took down Horde Prime.” Catra looked at Glimmer sharply. “They know about us.” Her voice was tense, shoulders raised.
“I’m an alien,” Adora pointed out.
“Yeah,” Catra said with asperity, “and you turn into a giant lady with a sword who can harness the magical energy of a planet.”Two months after the defeat of Horde Prime, two emissaries from the planet of Zilharr arrive at Bright Moon. They have a request: they want She-Ra to reignite the magic of their planet. The magic of Zilharr has been corrupted for decades, forcing the people to abandon it and carve out an existence on a satellite structure instead. Adora, Glimmer, and Bow are eager to help the Zilharrans, but Catra questions their motives. After all, the whole universe knows about She-Ra’s defeat of Horde Prime, and everyone is curious about power.

At least that was the plan.
After being forced into a group work project Catra discovers a group intent on befriending her, who accidently dig up the repressed feelings of loss and loneliness. Catra must once again battle with the ghosts of her past, fight her fears, navigate the long-forgotten waters of friendship, and struggle to accept the hardest concept of all: She is not alone.
Not anymore…

Summary
Catra woke slowly.
Senses returned to her one by one, and the re-acquisition of each came with its own profound sense of regret. There was a coppery, unpleasant smell mixed with the wild scents of earth and sweat. Hearing—well, that wasn’t working too well. All she could hear was a distant ringing and the repeating echo of a deafening crack, trapped within her mind.
Pain, though, that was working just fine.
---
What do you get when you mix a broken runestone, two injured ex-best friends, and the bottom of a canyon that may or may not be full of things that want to kill you? Answer: a lot of pain, but maybe, just maybe, reconciliation.
If they last that long.
(Post-season 2 AU)

Summary
She was probably about to tell her to fuck off, though maybe—hopefully—she'd say it nicely. Catra closed her eyes and hoped when she opened them that this whole situation was just a figment of her imagination. Instead, she saw a one word reply. One single word.
bet.

Adora Grayskull is the popular jock, the golden girl, the one that everyone loves. Catra D’riluth is the opposite. Yet despite this, they form an unlikely bond.

Summary
Callum raced through the trees nearly as fast as his thoughts did through his own mind. How had it come to this? Things had been so peaceful only hours ago as they wandered through the marketplace, laughing and joking, taking in the sights. It had felt so safe, no one had been any the wiser to his guise. And then his hood had snagged on a wooden beam and…
One thought kept coming back to him over and over. ‘This is all my fault.’
