    Summary

    **AUTHOR'S NOTE: THIS STORY CONTAINS MATURE SUBJECT MATTER THAT SOME READERS MAY FIND DISTURBING. Please read the content warnings for each chapter before reading. Reader discretion is advised.**

     

     

    Adora and her best friend Catra have been working for the notorious Horde gang for as long as they can remember. Picking pockets for a living may not be a great way to grow up, but it's better than living on the streets without protection. But when she's promoted to Force Captain and becomes a full-fledged member of the gang, Adora realizes the Horde is far worse than she ever could have imagined.

    If she wants to escape this dangerous world of crime, Adora will need to work with a group of vigilantes to bring down the Horde and expose the corruption within Etheria's police force. But when Catra chooses to stay with the gang, Adora must figure out if she can serve the greater good while protecting the people she loves, or risk losing it all.

They do what they can to heal him, but physical wounds are the easiest to heal. It's the ones you can't see that are truly dangerous.

    Summary

    Adora grew up in the Horde. Things don't disappear because you leave. Habits, words, and actions. Memories are never going to fade of the life she had. The life she left. But they can be eased into a new meaning, a new life. Sometimes those memories come back with a vengeance.

    Summary

    Adora remembers the day she met Catra like it was yesterday. She remembers sharing her bunk with her best friend, and hiding out on the roof when life in the Fright Zone got to be too much. They did everything together - they survived together, and Adora remembers all of it.

    Well, almost all of it...

    Summary

    "It’s funny," Horde Prime says, humourlessly, “how love truly is the common weakness across the galaxies. What’s her name?”

    Catra scowls, unable to keep her mask on anymore. “Leave her alone.”

    “I have only the best of intentions with my allies, child.” His lips slowly curl up. “What’s her name?” He asks again, voice less friendly.

    Catra breathes in and out, in and out. She lets her face go blank again. “Adora. But she’s not myー”

    “So that’s the mighty She-Ra.” He says. He starts to pace around, arms behind him.

    Summary

    There was something about her that made people stop trying. Made them unsympathetic. Cruel. And she was always fighting it- blaming others, First Shadowweaver, then Adora, then the world. But it was her. And she was tired. Tired of pretending it wasn’t, of trying to be more, get more. She was settling for what she had, and what she had was worth less than a shits stain on the back of someone’s shoe.

    Summary

    “I am going back to the Fright Zone.

    "I am going to open a portal.

    "And I am going to crush. You. All."

    When she emerged out into the dim light again, whip in one hand, Sword of Protection in the other, there was something frightening in her eyes. Something feral. The gold looked like fire and the blue like ice. “I’m done suffering because of you. It’s your turn now, Adora.”

    Adora was at her mercy, and Catra was out of it.

    Summary

    Various ficlets I've done in response to prompts, most of them from tumblr. The majority are Horde-setting and Horde-character focused.

    You'll find various small stories here - ranging from silly comedy to deep, dark horror. (Warnings applying to particular stories will be in their notes). You will find tales of Shadow Weaver being awful, Bow and Glimmer being great friends to Adora, Scorpia being sweet and cute, Frosta and Perfuma being scary in battle, Entrapta being her delightful, nutty self and more!

    (Note to new readers: I have removed a few of the stories for personal reasons, so if you are looking for a specific one and it is not here, that is why).

    "Complete" mark does not denote that this is a full themed set of stories, just that I've stopped placing new short stories here. See my profile for new shorts.

    Summary

    Catra could feel the chasm that had formed between them. Fated to hopelessness, vanity. But she couldn’t find it in herself to care.

    If Adora's destiny was to find the sword, then maybe it was their destiny to be torn apart.

    Summary

    “It’s funny,” Catra starts, “you’ve spent so long trying to make me come to you, be on your side, and, here I am. On your side. And I know this isn’t about us, but still. Who would’ve thought that some day Adora would finally give up on Catra.”

    And― and Adora looks almost sad. She furrows her brows and sighs, and Catra can almost feel that she fucked up.

    “I’m trying really hard not to do it.”

    Summary

    “Will it always be like this?” Catra asks, her nose inches away from Adora’s.

    “Be like what?”

    “You, me, and the storm.”

    “Of course not, thunderstorms never last too long!” Adora laughs, and Catra feels her warm breath tickle the hairs on her skin.

    “What about you? Will you stay with me?”

    Adora smiles, her eyes glowing. “You couldn’t get rid of me if you tried.”
