Summary
If Chass was smart, she would leave well enough alone, not push it any further, and hope that Quell is equally disinclined to speak about this once they’re both sober.
Chass na Chadic has been called many things in her life, but smart is certainly not one of them.

Summary
Bow and Glimmer convince all their friends to go with them on their honeymoon to a couple's resort - but after Adora's already paid the non-refundable deposit, her longterm girlfriend dumps her, leaving her in a bind. The friend group scrambles to find a replacement "girlfriend" so that Adora doesn't have to lose her deposit and miss out on the week of fun in the sun with her friends that she was promised - which she obviously needs now, more than ever, on the heels of her breakup - and Scorpia finds a friend of hers willing to pretend to be Adora's girlfriend so that she can get a half price vacation, even if it means sharing a room with only one bed. The only problem? This friend of Scorpia's is absolutely gorgeous... and a complete and total asshole. But they have to keep up the act, or ruin the whole trip.

Summary
After Horde Prime is defeated, there's still much left to be resolved. What to do with all his abandoned clones? What punishment does Hordak deserve for his role in Etheria's suffering? How to restore the Fright Zone to Scorpia's family and what to do with all the indoctrinated soldiers still living there? What to do about the possibility of more magic-based worlds that were converted to weapons by the First Ones - or the possibility that Horde Prime was smart enough to make a backup of his consciousness? And the most important question of all - will Catra and Adora ever be allowed some alone time to explore their newly admitted love for one another?
COMPLETE as of 2020-09-10: Written as a sort of "Season Six", this story covers the post-war fallout, a long space adventure to find and destroy Prime's backup consciousness, a slow-burn exploration of what a Hordak redemption arc might look like, and lots and lots of Catra/Adora character study, hurt/comfort, fluff, and occasionally smut. There are some violent action scenes, but no character death.

Summary
“Why do you think Aunt Casta’s so obsessed with knitting? They have all this crap everywhere; knitting needles and crochet hooks and spindles and bins of embroidery thread and looms and—”
“Not a fan?” Micah asks, tamping down on a sting of disappointment when his daughter shakes her head. “I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss it. Why, some of the finest sorcerers have been named after these arts. Obviously, you’d know—“
He stops abruptly, catching his own words with a grimace. Adora has gone tense, her hand frozen where it rests on the bulbous end of a spindle. Catra, still down the hall with studied disinterest, has gone even tenser.

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.”

Summary
She wanted to reach for Catra, now. She wanted to touch her; to hold her close, not as a result of life-altering circumstances, but just because. She wanted, and she wanted, and it was as true as the frantic beating of her heart in her throat.

Summary
Adora never touched Catra and Catra found she missed it. She even missed fighting. She missed when simply stepping into Adora’s line of vision meant Adora faltered. She always faltered. Everything had to be grand, and epic, and world-ending between them or they didn’t know how to act around one another.

Summary
Adora sits as though unchanged, a snapshot back to simpler days but Catra can see even from her seat at the other end of the skiff that Adora is different than the girl who left. Someone no longer immutable. Someone angrier. The way Adora’s gaze meets Catra’s own like a challenge speaks volumes to the months apart.
Catra no longer misses her.

Summary
Catra remembers her own sleepless nights and violent rages—the scratches she gouged in Adora’s bedding, the shriek of claws against metal as she defaced the silly sketch they had drawn together. She remembers lying awake for hours each night, unacknowledged tears leaking from her eyes as Adora’s scent slowly faded from her life. She takes a deep breath, filling herself up to banish the memories. Adora loves her. Adora stayed.
---
In the aftermath of Horde Prime's demise, Catra struggles to integrate into Etherian society as she and Adora explore their newfound relationship. Featuring major cuddles, minor angst, therapy, a surprise character development for Catra, and sweetly awkward fumblings toward physical intimacy. This fic also includes a few minor references to @Annacharlier's "Don't Go," which is canon as far as we all know, and to Noelle and Molly's amazing #BLM livestream. <3
