   Summary

   When the dust finally settles, Catra spurns her own redemption and Adora doesn't even try forgiving herself (let alone Catra). Despite this, they insist on stumbling through their maladapted peace hand-in-hand.

   An attempt to capture the ways that war changes us through a series of key moments in Catra and Adora's relationship throughout the war, the ending, and the aftermath. (Diverges from canon after season 1)
