Summary
Adora knew better. In theory, she knew better. She knew that watching videos of your ex-girlfriend was a mistake. It was cataclysmic, the way staring at Catra on the screen made Adora fall apart all over again. It didn’t matter that their relationship ended two years ago, the wound reopened, Adora still sought it out.

Summary
There’s not a body. It would be unnerving, if Glimmer weren’t already used to mourning somebody without a grave. The closest thing they have now is an ice sculpture Frosta made for She-Ra, standing in the garden, tall and preserved. A princess, a story, a legend.
*
"She-Ra is gone," should have been a statement that ended the war. It should have been a victory. For bitter months, there was nothing Catra had wanted more than to get rid of She-Ra for good, she just wanted Adora to come back home. Adora herself wasn't supposed to disappear in the process.
___

Summary
"Horde Prime wants your heart," Catra says plainly.
"What?" Adora asks, brows furrowed.
"You didn't know?" Catra asks. “Light Hope never told you, after all this time?” Gently, she places her hand on Adora's chest, the tips of her nails grazing her neck. "The heart of a Slayer has power. It's how Prime has stayed invincible all these years." Adora places her hand over Catra's. Catra can feel her pulse quicken. "He wants yours," she adds. He’s not the only one.

Summary
"If I leave now, I'll never see you again," Adora states slowly as the truth sinks in. She glances at the raft on the water, then back to Catra, who's holding her arms close to her chest. Light Hope had told her there would be consequences, Adora never considered that meeting Catra would be one of them.
"You are a hero, Adora," Catra reminds her. She says hero as if it's a tainted word, an insult, a disgrace. "Heroes don't stay."
"I'll come back," Adora says. "I won't just leave you here.”
Something flickers in Catra's eyes. "No one ever finds Ogygia twice," she says.

Summary
“You’re stupid if you think Canaan will hire you, Griddle,” Harrow says coolly.
Gideon knows her chances are slim, she’s only eighteen, just about to graduate high school. Traversing is new, dangerous, and expensive. It’s unlikely that Canaan would waste the most important technology Earth has ever created in order to send out a teenager to one of Earth’s variants. There are people who are older, people who have done research on traversing, hell, people who have expressed interest in exploring other worlds. Gideon hasn’t. Not once. Not until it became a possible escape from Drearburh.
___
