    Summary

    Her first night on the ship, Adora watches Catra sleep. She charts the gentle tug up and down of her chest, stares at what once was impossible to want, forbidden from her reach. 

    She sits on the edge of Catra’s cot. Adora reaches out to trace the collar of her uniform, the white stained throughout with specks of blood and dirt.  She rakes a gentle hand through Catra’s hair, the cut rough and ragged. She goes to cradle Catra’s face like she had on Horde Prime’s ship, to run a thumb across the sharp line of her jaw—

    She stops. Maybe some things are still forbidden. 

    *

    Adora, relearning Catra, and Catra learning to heal.

    Summary

    Adora frantically searches for something else on the horizon to look at to take her attention away from Catra. She doesn’t want to think about Catra’s calm, relaxed breathing and how that would be ruined by an unexpected touch. She knows Catra doesn’t like those.

    She could move her hand, that way they’d never touch, and maybe the pull would go away. But Adora doesn’t move. Maybe Catra feels the pull too.

    ---

    Or: Adora tries not to give in, with varying degrees of success.

    Summary

    Adora takes a deep breath and turns toward Catra. “I can’t stop thinking about what Glimmer said a few weeks ago. About wedding traditions.”

    “What about them?”

    “Well, it’s just we don’t exactly have any.” Adora nestles her fingers into the grass and makes a fist, gently tugging at the blades. “Glimmer made it sound like a big deal.”

    --

    Or, Adora and Catra get married.

    Summary

    “Why are you here?” Adora asks.

    Catra steps in close, gratified when Adora takes a shaky step back and then another, til her back is up against the wall of the gym. “Would you believe that I missed you?”

    --

    When Adora transfers from Horde Academy to Bright Moon Prep in their final year of high school, she and Catra pretty much stop talking. Until they don't.
