Summary
She can’t keep doing this. It’s not healthy. She hates her.
She can’t stop drawing Adora. The one who suggested she continued to draw. Supported her. Complimented her. Stole supplies for her.
“You need her. You rely on her. You’re nothing without her,” Shadow Weaver’s voice echoes in her mind, making her hands shake.
Adora. The one who left her.
The one who took everything from her. Made her face that witch alone.
The one who broke her damn heart.

Summary
“Your job is to take out Adora Weaver. If you can kidnap her, do so - the ransom would be great - but sorcerers are tricky, so killing her may be the easiest option,” Hordak drawls, handing Catra the file on her next victim.
If the name didn’t ring a bell, seeing that face sure does. Catra avoids staring at the page too long. She tries to keep her face as neutral as possible as she nods her head.
If anyone is going to kill Adora, it should be her. Not some stranger.
“Do you accept, Catra?” His empty eyes stare into hers. It’s as if he knows that she knew Adora.
“Yes,” she replies, keeping her voice steady and her eye contact unwavering.

Summary
Post season 5.
Catra feels guilty for what she’s done. In the beginning, very few forgave her but now it seems everyone has. That would be nice, except she can’t seem to forgive herself. Her sleeping troubles and nightmares have brought Adora to suggest therapy, which Catra agrees to.
Adora and Catra have to navigate something new to them and decide what they want for the future. The two of them both have issues to work through, but they decide to take it on together.
Catra works on making it up to those that she’s hurt along the way, by apologizing and taking it day by day. This includes Angella, who she plans to save, though it will not be an easy task.
Adora learns to work on herself and that she doesn’t have to be She-Ra, a perfect hero.
Though, it’s not going to be easy for either of them; habits are hard to break. And there’s more than just their issues to deal with. These new planets have other enemies for them to deal with.

Summary
“Look, can I ask you something? It’s your birthday so I don’t know if you’ve set any boundaries on hook-ups but…”
“Hooking up?” And then Adora just can’t stop, “Oh, no, I’m not hooking up. I mean. I have, but not now. Not, uh, a thing I do really. Um...yeah.”
Catra is kind enough to try to hold back her smile.
“Well, you just made this super awkward,” she breathes out. “I was gonna ask if your friend was single. You're hot and all. But every word out of your mouth has been a total bummer, not gonna lie.”
Adora has died and gone to lesbian hell. She always knew it would come to this.
__Adora Gray's life is on track, just the way she likes it – ever steady, no surprises. And then Catra Morgan crashes her birthday party and turns everything upside down by dating her best friend Glimmer and making Adora fall for her.
That's fine! Adora is not panicked at all, thank you very much. She has some detailed, multi-step plans to ignore her growing feelings and navigate this all. But Catra, and her past, have a pesky tendency of showing up and throwing everything for a loop.

Summary
A wish upon a star can change a life or two. Adora is unhappy with her forced profession as a piano player, and Catra seeks more from life when her music career won't take off. One night, when they both wish upon a star for fulfilment, they soon experience a bizarre dream that eventually leads to them waking up in each other's bodies, despite living on practically opposite ends of the state and having never seen each other before.
Through all this weirdness, the two of them come to learn about each other, and slowly begin to develop a bond like no other. But with Catra's small town having a more 'traditional' worldview, and Adora's home-life in the city being one of pain and pressure, they begin to wonder if meeting each other might be exactly what they need... If it's even possible.
OR
A Soulmates, Bodyswap, Modern AU in which Catra and Adora live on opposite ends of the state, but that won't stop them from trying to find each other, even through the struggles of life and love.Bookmarked by essencede
