    Summary

    "As soon as she saw who the client was, her words died in her throat. Her drink slipped out of her hand a second later, but Catra couldn’t bring herself to care about the stain it would leave in the carpet.

    Across the table from her boss, wearing a perfectly-tailored suit that looked more expensive than most of Catra’s tuition payments, was Adora.

    As in, that Adora. The one Catra dated for all of college.

    The one that broke her heart four and a half weeks before graduation.

    The one that, according to what she’d said on the last day Catra had seen her, had fallen out of love with her."

    Or, six years ago, Adora and Catra were college students in love. Then, in one fateful meeting at a coffee shop, Adora broke Catra's heart.

    Now Catra's a junior partner at a law firm handling a patent dispute for Adora's family company. The two of them have to re-enter the other's life in an attempt for closure, catharsis, and connection.

    Summary

    Leaning forward, Catra pressed a kiss to Adora’s tense brow, thinking teasingly about how she never rested, even while sleeping.

    At best, Catra was expecting a fairytale wake up, where Adora would arise and pepper her lovingly with kisses as a response.

    At worst, she was expecting no response. Which wasn’t bad at all, seeing as she’d get more time to admire her girlfriend.

    What Catra was not expecting, was to be suddenly hit with a waving arm.

    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.

    Summary

    Catradora high school AU. Best friends to lovers. Adora is the ever oblivious captain of the school's football team, The Horde, and Catra is just a gay panic crushing mess who's in love with her best friend.

    ***

    "Bow was looking between them, an unreadable look on his face.

    “We fell.” Adora explained, breathless. Catra sneaked a look at her, and saw the pink was refusing to fade. 

    The possibility that Adora could ever like her back seemed so absurd mere week ago, even an hour, but now… Catra didn’t know.

    Ridiculous.

    But… was it?"
