    Summary

    A collection exploring the significance of touch throughout the course of Gale and Tav’s relationship, from the tentative and hopeful, to the exploratory and curious, to the assured and comfortable.

    It was no hardship to ensure her fingers brushed Gale’s as she handed him carrots while preparing supper. Or to press herself against his side as they all huddled together, sheltering beneath the broad branches of an oak during a sudden storm. Or to let the press of her palm linger just a little longer than strictly necessary when healing him… Amongst immeasurable fear and pain, it was a rare comfort.

    Summary

    'Adora rolled onto her side to face Catra, wrapping an arm softly around her middle. “It’s okay,” Adora sighs, using her thumb to rub small circles on the skin exposed between the shirt Catra’s wearing and her shorts, “we can just cuddle. I like cuddles.”

    Catra hums as she moves further into Adora’s hold. “He’s the worst. I’m sorry.”'

    or; Melog helps Catra get a girlfriend using the most dramatic method ever

    Catra is a cat mum. Adora is a vet. That's all.

    Summary

    'Adora didn’t give her lips permission to raise but she can’t help it with Catra standing only a few feet away, her brows still slightly sweaty from her recent practice and her eyes…

    …staring at Adora with hatred and bubbling anger.'

    or; after a disaster debut into the competitive figure skating world, Adora’s lost her confidence, reputation, and most importantly, her passion. Adora is taking multiple steps to get it back, but when she realises she has to compete against her former teammate, Catra, Adora finds herself wondering whether her passion ever was ever really in skating at all.

    They figure skate. They're in love. That's all

    Summary

    “Sparkles,” Catra slammed her books down on the table, sending a sort of shockwave through the quiet corner of the library Glimmer had chosen for them to study in, “please tell me you’re free tonight?”

    Glimmer, who’d jumped a little, regained her composure. She brushed her mussed hair out of her eye and arched her brow. “Why?”

    Catra sighed and pulled out the chair across from her friend. “If I tell you,” she sat and crossed her arms, “you have to swear not to laugh at me.”

    Glimmer gave a quick nod. “I promise. No laughing.”

    “I…” Catra groaned and pushed her hand through her bangs. “I need someone to go see Barbie with me.”

    OR Catra needs a date, Adora needs help with her homework, and they both deserve to feel wanted.

    Summary

    Adora doesn’t know she and Catra ever broke up. Catra doesn’t believe Adora is ever coming back.

    When Adora left Catra in their tiny town of Thaymor to play volleyball at the University of Bright Moon she made a promise. When Catra watched her drive away with nothing but false hope to keep her warm, she let Adora go. Now it’s 8 years later. Adora’s an Olympic gold medalist, ready to keep her promise, and Catra’s a high school music teacher, desperate for a peaceful winter break. But some promises are harder to keep than others, and peace on earth does not mean peace for you.
