Summary
“But tell me this,” Adora starts, staring boldly into the woman’s eyes, a hint of Force-suggestion in her voice. “Can you actually fly this ship through that blockade?”
Adora isn’t prepared when the captain throws her head back and laughs, completely unaffected. An agonizing moment passes before her mouth finally closes into a smirk, eyes sharp as tacks with her hands placed firmly on her hips—the epitome of cockiness.
“I can fly my way through anything, princess.”
***
or Star Wars AU: Adora is a surviving Jedi of Order 66 who fights alongside the Rebellion to bring peace back to the galaxy. Catra is one hell of a pilot and a crafty smuggler running away from her past. When their paths cross over the years, sparks fly, until a wedge comes between them. But when Adora is taken hostage by Emperor Horde Prime in a gambit to save Queen Glimmer of the Rebellion, Catra will do whatever it takes to get her back.

Summary
“I'm leaving Halfmoon,” Catra interrupts, with great indignation. “I'm leaving and finding a suitable mate.”
“No,” is all C’yra finally says.
Catra has already quietly wandered over to the other side of the room where Lonnie keeps her reading and work materials. Catra unfoils an ancient map of Etheria.
“Now,” she mumbles to herself, “How to pick a destination? There must be someplace out there. Something bigger and brighter than Halfmoon.”
Lonnie snorts at the absurdity of this. Catra’s “plan” doesn’t even have a location yet. How typical.
Prince Catra gives a sudden trill. “Bright Moon! What a dumb name. I love it.”
Prince Catra of Halfmoon must find a mate and solidify her connection with the runestone before her 25th birthday if she wants to inherit the throne. Unfortunately, she's either alienated or rejected every eligible woman in the kingdom. But maybe she'll have better luck in Bright Moon. Especially after a chance meeting with a certain blonde with a hero complex.

Summary
Catra finds herself haunted by the image of a young girl and the memories of a childhood she never had with her. She's fine, until she starts to realize that something doesn't add up. She knows things she shouldn't, and doesn't know things she apparently should. Her recollection and those of everyone else don't mesh. Those memories are where everything collapses, and where Catra decides to begin searching.

Summary
Hours pass, and Adora still can't sleep. She recalls when Lonnie told them about the tattoos, Adora had carefully watched Catra's expression, her heterochromatic eyes bored and uninterested. Adora hadn't felt that way, it didn't sound all bad. If they're real, she had thought, with flutters in her stomach, I want it to be you.
It's painful to think about. Even if she did have Catra's name on her wrist, she can't imagine that it would make a difference. Catra wouldn't join her before, and Adora's certain that she wouldn't join her now, tattoo or otherwise.

Summary
Friday nights at the Bright Moon College radio station used to be chill until Glimmer and Bow invited Adora onto their campus gossip show, The Talk of Shame. Now there’s drama brewing between the king and queen of gossip and the station manager, who has the show slot directly after theirs and apparently has a big problem with Adora.

Summary
Adora made a promise to herself when she was thirteen: "Before you graduate high school, you should make the most out of life and go on a journey." Five years later, and with graduation, college and work in her future, Adora thought that her promise would never be kept. Until she ran into a woman named Catra.
The two of them, knowing that this opportunity was now-or-never, joined to become travel partners. Together, they journey across the United States in the footsteps of a famous traveller, leaving behind the mundane life of exams and part-time jobs. They seek enlightenment, adventure, fun, and maybe even love...
But all throughout, Adora has only one lingering question: What exactly convinced Catra to go on this journey? Is she looking for something? Or... is she running away from something?

Summary
Catra smiles, snakelike, catlike, the corners of her pink mouth lifting upward. “Come swim with me, Adora,” she says, less pleadingly and more like she knows already Adora will say yes. She’s too close to Adora, who can feel the princess’ warmth, and the sun is beating down again on her own clothed figure. Adora breathes in dust and humidity, and she thirsts.

Summary
“Look, can I ask you something? It’s your birthday so I don’t know if you’ve set any boundaries on hook-ups but…”
“Hooking up?” And then Adora just can’t stop, “Oh, no, I’m not hooking up. I mean. I have, but not now. Not, uh, a thing I do really. Um...yeah.”
Catra is kind enough to try to hold back her smile.
“Well, you just made this super awkward,” she breathes out. “I was gonna ask if your friend was single. You're hot and all. But every word out of your mouth has been a total bummer, not gonna lie.”
Adora has died and gone to lesbian hell. She always knew it would come to this.
__Adora Gray's life is on track, just the way she likes it – ever steady, no surprises. And then Catra Morgan crashes her birthday party and turns everything upside down by dating her best friend Glimmer and making Adora fall for her.
That's fine! Adora is not panicked at all, thank you very much. She has some detailed, multi-step plans to ignore her growing feelings and navigate this all. But Catra, and her past, have a pesky tendency of showing up and throwing everything for a loop.

Summary
They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.
But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

Summary
Time seemed to slow as Casta opened the slip and read the name. “The female tribute this year is…” Adora quickly wiped her sweaty palms on the skirt of her dress and squared her shoulders, standing tall. “Velvet M-”
Adora didn’t let her finish before she called out. “I volunteer as tribute!” Maybe it was rude, but she knew that if she waited even longer she would’ve lost all the courage she had and not said anything.
“Oh? A volunteer! How wonderful!” Casta said enthusiastically. Adora didn’t quite understand that, there was always a volunteer.
---
Adora Grayskull never really wanted to be involved in the Games, but as District One's best chance at winning, she knows she should volunteer. She was expecting to be shoved into an arena and left to fend for herself. What she wasn't expecting was to fall in love with the enemy.

Summary
Bright Moon was a small tourist town. The kind of place people visited, not the kind of place they stayed in. So for someone like Adora, looking to take a little time to grow up and prepare herself for the next step in her life, spending a year here made sense.
It was just supposed to be a stop in the road to bigger and better things. But the people were so nice and Adora had never really had a lot of friends growing up.
Then there was Catra. The kind of person that could throw a wrench into even the most well thought out plan.

Summary
A wish upon a star can change a life or two. Adora is unhappy with her forced profession as a piano player, and Catra seeks more from life when her music career won't take off. One night, when they both wish upon a star for fulfilment, they soon experience a bizarre dream that eventually leads to them waking up in each other's bodies, despite living on practically opposite ends of the state and having never seen each other before.
Through all this weirdness, the two of them come to learn about each other, and slowly begin to develop a bond like no other. But with Catra's small town having a more 'traditional' worldview, and Adora's home-life in the city being one of pain and pressure, they begin to wonder if meeting each other might be exactly what they need... If it's even possible.

Summary
“Have you looked into how student benefits for our college work? ‘Cause I might have a better idea.”
“Yeah, well, we didn’t qualify for any scholarships, so that’s out of the question,” Catra starts off, bitter. “We don’t have any disabilities that are medically certifiable, nor are we related to anyone who does. We’re not related to anyone at all, really, but that doesn’t seem to matter.”
“It sucks,” Adora agrees offhandedly, blood rushing in her ears. “Go on.”
“I don’t know. Parents? I’ve kinda just skimmed the rest of the page. All the focus on family was annoying.”
Adora shrugs, trying to look and sound nonchalant. “Married couples, too.”
