Chapter Text
day 1 - nightmares/dreams ; modern au
Relief is a thick blanket, settling heavy and warm over Adora’s whole body, and she nods even though she’s not sure if Catra can see it. “I know I can’t ask you to, but—I wish you could stay forever.”
day 2 - together/apart ; modern au
And Adora’s heart stops. She wonders for a moment if Catra can feel it, as far away as she is, wonders if Catra can tell what those seven simple words have done to her. “I don’t know what you want me to say.”
day 3 - futuristic/medieval ; medieval princess/knight au
“Call me Adora when it’s just us two,” she says between giggles one day. Her face is red; Catra has her pinned down and had tickled her breathless, and the realization makes her reel back, eyes wide. Princess Adora’s hair has fallen from its high updo, and her dress is mussed from the time she’d tried to escape, and. Catra realizes that she’d stopped thinking of her as the Crown Princess a long time ago.
day 4 - silver/gold ; ancient gods au
“There are also many comparisons to heavenly bodies—She-Ra, the sun, C’yra both the moon and the stars—showing again that while they were related, they were also enemies. The moon and stars swallow the sun each night, and the sun rises again each morning. Anyway. Another thing that every myth I have read has in common is that C’yra was the only being—divine or mortal—that could mortally wound She-Ra. But other times, C’yra is referred to as She-Ra’s second sword. Their relationship was volatile, built on blood and war, but when their morals—She-Ra’s need for justice and C’yra’s need for retribution—collided, it was said that the earth and even the sky would tremble at their combined wrath.”
day 5 - promises/lies ; fencing au
She’s so fucking proud—and at the end of the day, as they sit slumped next to each other in the back of the bus together, with a gold medal heavy around her neck and the silver tucked safely in Catra’s bag, Adora knows there’s no place she’d rather be.
day 6 - fantasy/reality ; witch au
“What’s your name?”
“Out of all the things in the world, that is what you want?” as the girl comes closer to her, Adora finds herself trapped, unable to move even if she wanted to. (Not that she wants to.)
day 7 - free day ; modern au
And now, Adora can’t help thinking about Catra driving across town at two in the morning to comfort her after a bad dream, can’t help thinking about all of the things she’s said—I’d follow you anywhere, I’ll stay by your side, I’ll stay as long as you want me to, you’re everything to me—and her heart skips a beat.
