so you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep by Tepriyalles

Summary
With the even, shuddering beat of the airship whispering around her, she might have missed the tiny intake of breath at her words, but her monkey misses nothing, and in a flash of golden fur, he’s bounded from the bench and flung closed the wooden door behind which an uninvited guest has been lurking.
In other words, a very brief “Mary stowed away” what-if to close out a season.

Summary
The whole concept of her is foreign and enigmatic, and Marisa wants to pull her apart and study her beneath a chemist's microlens; she wants to distill her virtue into discreet molecules that can be classified and indexed and mimicked. She wants to dissect and possess every inch of her mystery until she understands that fearlessness too.

But on the wild nights who can call you home? Only the one who knows your name.' - Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit
Marisa learns about Mary's names.

Blood in the Cut by SolarPoweredFlashlight
Fandoms: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018)
18 Dec 2020

Summary
Rare neutral ground between the warring forces of the Eternian Empire and the Galactic Horde, Etheria Station is a safe haven nestled in the center of the Whispering System.
Adora finds herself a deserter of both the Horde and the Eternian forces; seeking refuge in the only place in the galaxy left to her, she struggles to figure out what kind of life she wants to lead on Etheria Station now that she isn't a soldier any more. It doesn't take long for Catra to show up on the station, claiming that she's defected from the Horde, but Adora can't shake the feeling that of all the Horde's covert operatives, Catra is the one most uniquely qualified to successfully pull off a delicate 'retrieval' of a wayward Force Captain Adora.

"Adora, do you want to take the day off?" Catra asks. Adora nods, wretchedly. She wants it so badly. Why can't she just… do it?Catra hums thoughtfully in response. "Would it be easier for you if I didn't give you a choice?"
Adora can't make herself relax. Catra can.

Summary
Adora's always had a bit of a fascination with Catra, ever since they met so many years ago. Catra is mesmerizing, plain and simple, and Adora...she wants to know everything about her, wants to learn her inside out.

Summary
Her hand slipped free of Adora’s in the next moment, her fingers tense with nerves anew. Any protest at the loss of contact Adora could have made died the moment Catra’s fingers slipped under the edge of her top; the prick of her nails teasing gently over the muscles of Adora’s abdomen. Another hushed gasp met the flick of her ears, kindled the ravenous heat of her gut as Adora’s hand wrapped gently around her wrist. Catra paused her movements then, afraid at once she had ruined the moment. Her voice cracked with trepidation; rolled thick with thirst and want and hunger and —
“Is this… okay?”

Like Something I Wasn't Aware I'd Left Behind by SolarPoweredFlashlight
Fandoms: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018)

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
“You think I'm the only one with blood on my hands? Look at yours, Catra. Are you proud of what you’ve become?" Catra's back hits the marble wall. "A mercenary? The mighty general of the Myrmidon army? This isn't the Catra I know.”
“You don't know me as well as you think you do,” Catra spits.
Adora surges forward, hands whipping out to press against the wall on either side of Catra’s head. Catra clenches her fists at her sides. Their breaths mingle.
Sandalwood and sweat. Adora’s mouth is red as a pomegranate.
“I know everything about you,” Adora whispers.—
In the golden age of heroes, Adora is the best of the Greeks.
After spending several years on the slopes of Mount Pelion, training with the centaur Mara, Adora is finally called to lead her mother’s army to Troy as the Commander of the Myrmidons. What makes things complicated is the fact that Catra, her childhood best friend turned bitter rival, is Adora's second-in-command.

Flip The Switch by SolarPoweredFlashlight

Summary
A collection of post-canon smut drabbles of various scenarios between Catra and Adora; set after my fic 'Aftermath', this is where I'll put any smutty 'bonus scenes' that didn't end up in that fic but are still bouncing around in my head and looking to be written. Catra and Adora are both switches and enjoy flipping back and forth and learning about themselves and each other in the process.

Summary
With the whispering woods destroyed, it was easy to slip into Bright Moon. It was easy to stick to the shadows, to move quietly through the border of the trees. It was easy to scale the side of the castle with her claws, to hoist herself onto the edge of the balcony and out of sight.
What wasn’t easy was staying still while Adora, just a few feet from where Catra perched, started to undress.

But even the thought of articulating any of that, of making her need known, makes Catra flush in the dark and all that comes out is a broken little, “Adora.”
