The Silence of Words by sheadoras

Summary
Enemy. Feels like such a dirty word, like a forbiddance. When Catra thinks of Adora, she doesn’t think of enemies, nothing close to that. Well, at first, she did. But with the now empty bed below hers and the missing smile at the beginning of every day, Catra ignores their stances, their alliance.

Summary
“What’s wrong?” Catra purrs, and Adora is all too aware that she has her right where she wants her. She moves in closer, pressing Adora back-first against the jagged wall, and Adora finally exhales shakily. “Cat… got your tongue?” She teases, reaching up to trace her jawline lightly with one claw, painfully slow, and something close to lust shines in her eyes as she follows the trail of Adora’s neck down to her collarbones.
“Why don’t you go bother someone else?” Adora hardly manages, stiffening. “Since you clearly have such a busy schedule now, captain.”
Catra snorts and her brows climb to her hairline in almost convincingly feigned surprise. Her laugh is dry.
“My, my, it looks like the princess has learned how to bite. You know, I’m impressed. For a second I thought you really meant that.”

Summary
Catra's been having a hard time since Adora abandoned the Horde. Not only have the pressures of being a Force Captain begun to set in, but she's still in mourning over the loss of her best friend. Not like she'd ever let Adora know that, of course.
Catra is, however, able to find solace in writing a series of letters to Adora that get a bit out of hand.

Summary
“Catra is mine."
She lingers close enough around Adora and the younger princess to hear the words before slinking away. It means none of the implication it should hold, of course. Not here, not these versions of themselves playing dress-up in pretty blacks and reds. Yet when she feels Adora’s eyes on her as they play tag around the princess prom, she thinks that, perhaps this time, she can pretend.
//
Catra comes to terms with the fact that, yes, maybe she can get a little too jealous.

If only Adora could embrace her, hold her tight, and tell her everything is going to be fine. But of course, she's part of the problem, too.

Summary
“I am the one who decides how the Horde will best serve,” Hordak’s voice cuts through tense, horrified silence.
The prongs of his spear dig into Catra’s neck where it pins her to a console. Adora doesn’t lower her sword, but the unnatural brightness of her eyes gutters out. Her heart feels squeezed by a fist.
“Leave now, or your friend dies.”

Summary
Catra woke slowly.
Senses returned to her one by one, and the re-acquisition of each came with its own profound sense of regret. There was a coppery, unpleasant smell mixed with the wild scents of earth and sweat. Hearing—well, that wasn’t working too well. All she could hear was a distant ringing and the repeating echo of a deafening crack, trapped within her mind.
Pain, though, that was working just fine.

What do you get when you mix a broken runestone, two injured ex-best friends, and the bottom of a canyon that may or may not be full of things that want to kill you? Answer: a lot of pain, but maybe, just maybe, reconciliation.

Summary
Catra made it through undergrad with a night job, but now that she is in law school, she has expenses she can’t keep up with. It will be worth it once she gets her degree, but in the meantime she has to find a way to pay for her tuition. Escort work is risky, but it pays well.
Retiring from music hasn’t given Adora the privacy she was hoping. Between fans and gold diggers, she constantly has people throwing themselves at her. The idea of paying a stand-in just to avoid the rumour mill and come-ons from guys seems like it could be a viable solution - and then she runs into her childhood best friend at an event.

Summary
Adora had everything she ever wanted. She got into the college of her dreams, is a sports superstar, has an amazing group of friends, and is incredibly popular to boot. But her life wasn't always this perfect, in fact it was quite the opposite. Years ago she had left her dark past, but she also left someone with it. Now what happens when that past finally catches up to her, and can she save the one she left behind from their own darkness?
Catra's life sucked but she wouldn't let anyone know it. Hiding her emotional scars of being abandoned behind a mask of anger and violence, she climbed her way up the Horde hierarchy, thinking it would keep her safe. After running into her old partner in crime at a bar she is forced to face her complicated emotions. Will she go back to the Horde? Or will she stay?

Summary
"She was different, sure. But it was undeniably Catra. Adora would’ve recognized her anywhere, even if it had been seven more years—or twenty, or one hundred—before she saw her again. And she very much had the impression that Catra felt the same, if the haunted recognition on her face was any indication."

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Catra says again as she dribbles antiseptic onto the cuts. She keeps her claws pretty clean, but it isn’t worth risking an infection.
“I know,” Adora says, watching Catra work. “It’s okay.”
“It really isn’t.”
“So okay isn’t the right word.” Adora sighs. “Look, Catra…we spent years trying to kill each other. That isn’t going to just go away. It’s going to take time to unlearn.”
(The morning after the Heart of Etheria, Catra hurts Adora one more time.)

'“Huntara asked Adora out, and she said no. She said no to the girl she’s been crushing on for a year.” Glimmer says. Her gaze follows the path Adora had taken in her haste to get away, and she frowns. “She had a major crush, and the girl finally notices her, and she says no. And when I asked her about it, she got all… weird.”
Bow shrugs. Apparently, he doesn’t see that this is all wrong. “Maybe she just lost interest.”
Glimmer shakes her head. No. It isn’t that simple, and she knows it. She knows how to read Adora, and she knows what she’s like when she’s lying.
Adora is hiding something, plain and simple.
And Glimmer is going to find out what it is.'

Summary
Catra and Adora were everything to each other, but then Adora chose to move from Horde Rowing to Bright Moon Rowing Club and a major miscommunication left Catra too upset to follow.

Summary
Adora had been asked out a couple times just this year alone and the girls had all been smart, beautiful, and on paper even good for her.
Starla still stuck out in her mind. For all intents and purposes, she was perfect for her. They were both English majors. She got Adora’s dorky sense of humor. She was a good listener. She went out of her way to take care of Adora making sure she didn’t stress herself out to the point of passing out when she decided to take on almost a double course load sending her “take a break” reminder texts most of the semester. They even went to the same fucking horse camp growing up even though they never met while there. There was just one problem.
There was always just one problem.
Adora had been in love with Catra since one brown eye and one blue eye met her own in Kindergarten, offering her two broken crayons as she wailed long after Hope had dropped her off on the first day of school.
or
Adora has been in love with Catra their entire lives together. She was never going to tell her. Until she does.

Summary
Rare neutral ground between the warring forces of the Eternian Empire and the Galactic Horde, Etheria Station is a safe haven nestled in the center of the Whispering System.
Adora finds herself a deserter of both the Horde and the Eternian forces; seeking refuge in the only place in the galaxy left to her, she struggles to figure out what kind of life she wants to lead on Etheria Station now that she isn't a soldier any more. It doesn't take long for Catra to show up on the station, claiming that she's defected from the Horde, but Adora can't shake the feeling that of all the Horde's covert operatives, Catra is the one most uniquely qualified to successfully pull off a delicate 'retrieval' of a wayward Force Captain Adora.

Summary
Catra's not in love with her dead-end job as a train token attendant - but she might be in love with the pretty blonde who passes her booth every day. On Christmas Day, the pretty blonde falls onto the tracks, and Catra saves her life. But at the ER, no one will tell Catra anything about the comatose girl's condition because she’s not family.
So she tells the nurse they’re engaged.
And the next thing she knows, the blonde’s actual distraught family - Angella, Micah and their half-dozen daughters - has swept in and adopted her as one of their own. How can she tell the truth now?
Especially when the last daughter finally makes it home, and it’s the last person Catra could ever have expected: Adora. The foster sister Catra never stopped loving, and never forgave for leaving her behind.
(Based on the 1990s romcom While You Were Sleeping.)

Summary
Ever since Catra came out as a lesbian in middle school, Adora has done her best to respect her friend and bury her feelings for her out in the backyard where they belong. By the end of high school, however, Adora can no longer deny herself. Just because she is starting to transition doesn’t mean she can suddenly acknowledge her feelings for Catra though – or that Catra would even feel the same.

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
“About that kiss—” begins Catra, but Adora interrupts her.
“Was it bad?” says Adora anxiously. It wasn’t bad for her. It was really really good actually. But if Catra is having second feelings and doubts, maybe—
“What, are you kidding? No, shut up. Listen. It was amazing and I can’t stop thinking about it,” Catra’s voice is pitched low; it crawls beneath Adora’s skin and makes a home somewhere in the pit of her stomach, fluttering heavy and warm. Catra looks up at her beneath her lashes, dark gold and blue so easy to get lost in. “I think we should do it again.”

Summary
They have an awful falling out, but one tense song performance at a ratty bar is just enough for some hate sex. Then comes the regrets.
Catra gets a text from Scorpia asking her to stand in as a replacement band member for one gig. It was too late when Catra realizes that Adora, the same girl who cut her off four years ago, is also part of the band.
