Chapter Text
I stared at the blue liquid in my glass. I wasn’t sure what it was. Entrapta had made it. Something about her wanting to see if it helped people feel relaxed. I felt relaxed. The feeling of floating and being totally out of focus would make one feel relaxed I guess.
“Uhhh, N’traptaaa. I think you miscalculated the strength of disthing,” I hiccuped. People were mulling about in the dimly lit room of the Princess Gala. It was Scorpia’s turn to host this year, and boy could that woman decorate. The almost overwhelming amount of flowers made me think Perfuma had perhaps taken charge of most of that department. I was spinning my glass around, entranced by the blue liquid when someone sat down next to me. Someone very tall. She was glowing, really glowing, like she was a star… a very strong muscly star with pretty blonde hair. She reminded me of someone…
“How you doing there?” she asked me, propping a sword up against the bar. Her eyes were so blue, they were electric: bolts of lightning sending shock waves right through me. I shook my head. Who was this stranger?
“I’m alright, ma’am,” I said, closing down the conversation. Where was Adora? She was last with Bow and Glimmer. I couldn’t see any of them from here - I couldn’t see much actually. The stranger leaned her head against her fist, all regal features and sharp lines. Who did she think she was!?
“That right? You look a little lonely to me,” she said and I gasped, pushing my glass of Entrapta’s mystery concoction away. I propped up my hand, a little shakily, and wagged my finger in this bold lady’s face.
“Now listen here miss, I don’t know who ya are, but I am happily married!” the blonde chuckled, perfect pearly white teeth shining behind plump pink lips. Who did she remind me of?!
“I know, Y/N. You’re married to me,” I choked on my tongue, feeling flames erupt on the tips of my ears. How - how dare she?! I glared at her and furrowed my brows.
“No - I - that’s not true! I’m married to Adora! I … I don’t have more than one beautiful wife, I’m sure of that!” I said, counting on my fingers. No, the math was right. There was only one Adora. She was my wife. We’d met when she hit me over the head with a sword… that looked a lot like the one this lady carried.
“I sure hope you don’t,” she said, her finger booping my nose. I leaned away and covered my nose, offended. How dare she have the audacity to boop me?!
“Ma’am, I think you should leave,” I said as politely as I could. She pouted and wrapped one hand around my arm, the other tracing the side of my face, “Oi! Excuse you!” I said, pushing her away, “you can’t do that! ADORA RIGHTS ! Only Adora can do that!”
The stranger started laughing, her glowing long ponytail somehow blowing in the wind, though we were inside a building. She continued to laugh - at me. I huffed and crossed my arms, looking for my wife. I would have stood up, but the floor was looking awfully swirly.
“Wow, what did Entrapta give you?” the stranger asked, and she - she transformed. I blinked a few times, but no, I wasn’t hallucinating. There, in front of me, sat my beautiful, lovely, wonderful wife Adora. She was wearing a stunning white and gold dress and her hair was done half up, the poof peeking over from behind the crown that framed her face. I gasped, and threw my arms around her, snuggling into her neck.
“Adora! Princess! I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve been looking everywhere for you! This crazy glowy lady was here and she-” Adora started laughing. “What?” I asked.
“This crazy glowy lady?” she asked, and then… transformed again. Into the tall, strong, blonde lady from before. I blinked rapidly and rubbed my eyes. Nope, still there.
“...Adora?” I asked, leaning back from the person in front of me. Yeah - she looked familiar. The person laughed again, a deep, rich, lovely sound that made me blush.
“Yes Adora, and She-Ra. Both. Did you forget?” I scratched the back of my neck with one hand and drummed my fingers against the bar with the other. Right right. Adora. She-Ra. Shadora. That was a thing.
“No I - I don’t think so? I mean… so you turn into a big glowy warrior person, right?” I asked, the pieces starting to fall back into place. Yeah yeah - she said something fancy and then boom - 8 foot tall rainbow princess warrior wifey.
“Really? You still seem a little confused,” she said. I blinked a few times, feeling the blush creeping up from my chest to the tips of my ears where little twin flames appeared. I laughed, and kept laughing until I was out of breath and the room was spinning dangerously. I would have fallen off the stool if Adora hadn’t caught me.
“No no, that makes a lot of sense,” I said, sighing dreamily and beaming at her.
“Yeah?” she asked, holding me in place. I looked at her. Her brilliant kind eyes, her dazzling smile, her lovely soft hair and that little poof that was almost always there. She was incredible, and beautiful, and it was starting to look like there were two of her.
“Of course. I could only ever fall for you, Princess,” I giggled, swaying in place. The blue liquid was getting to my head making me feel light - or maybe it was just Adora. She smiled again, so bright it put She-Ra’s shiny sword to shame. Put all the stars and the whole universe to shame. They never even stood a chance. Adora shook her head, mumbling something about me being a smooth-talker and pulled me up. My legs wobbled, and I started to tip over, but I was rescued by my charming knight in golden armor. Lucky, eh?
“Seriously?”
“Oi, not me fault! Entrapta poisoned me!” I said, throwing myself over Adora’s shoulder. Who the heck thought it was a good idea to make a room that spun?! What was this, Wonderland? Adora shook her head, scooped me up in her strong arms, and smirked. I gasped and looked up at the radiant hero.
“Hehehe, whao,” I mumbled, plopping my head on her shoulder. She-Ra/Adora rolled her eyes and kissed my forehead. I sighed and wrapped my heavy arms around her neck, humming happily. Adora started walking, but I wasn’t paying attention. Her eyes were so blue… but not the dangerous suspicious blue that Entrapta had poisoned me with. A brilliant blue that felt like home. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sea-Hawk dancing with Mermista.
“Eyy! Sea-Hawk! Did you know Adora glowed?! Er glew… or glowed… she's shiny!” I shouted, hanging from Adora’s neck and throwing my head back. She blushed fourteen shades of pink before settling on firetruck red.
“Umm, Entrapta gave Y/N some strange drink, they’re a bit out of it. We’re just gonna head out,” Adora told our friends, cradling me in her strong, muscly, powerful arms. Oh gosh .
“SHE-RA MARRIED ME , AHAHAHA, SUCKAS!” I threw a punch into the air. Sea-Hawk congratulated me, giving me an air fist bump like the awesome best friend he was. Good guy, really.
“Ohmygosh, please shut up,” Adora whispered, turning impossibly redder.
“But Princess, I love you , AND I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO KN- oh,” out of all the ways I could be told to shut up, being kissed by an 8 foot tall warrior goddess was really not a bad way to go about it. It was quick, but when Adora pulled away I still felt my lips burning, literal flames jumping around my head. Traitorous fire magic.
“Will you be quiet now, you dork?” I giggled deliriously and snuggled into Adora’s neck. It felt warm and smelled like vanilla and the sea.
I sighed and nodded. “Anything for you, Princess,” I whispered drowsily. Being curled up against Adora’s heart lulled me to sleep. She must have carried me all the way home and tucked me in, because the only thing I remember after that is waking up in a blinding, all consuming pain.
I groaned, burrowing under the pillow, “Entrapta tried to kill me,” I whimpered.
