    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.

    If they last that long.

    Summary

    The ambulance bay runs directly underneath the patch of the roof that isn't consumed by machinery, and the sound of the sirens reaches up here, too.

    "There are donuts in the staff lounge," Catra says, leaning against the railing next to Adora. The bag in her hand crinkles. "If you ever decide to add food to your coffee diet."

    Summary

    "Adora, do you know who I am?" Catra whispers, her eyes searching Adora's. Adora feels butterflies swoop in her stomach at being under her intense stare. She always thought Catra's eyes were beautiful.

    "Yeah, of course. Catra. Bow's friend, right?" She doesn't bring up asking her out because she doesn't want to make her feel awkward in front of Bow and Glimmer.

    Catra's face crumbles and Bow reaches out and grips her hand tightly.

    OR

    After an accident, Adora forgets seven years of her life, and with it, her marriage to Catra. This is the story of how they find each other again. Amnesia AU.

    Summary

    Being She-ra was power and freedom, but in the wake of her … When Adora crashed back into her own body, made home with all the hurt, all the pain that being Adora meant … Well, it made her angry. She’d never considered before, before all this, that maybe things were unfair. That word had never been part of her personal vocabulary. Things were the way they were, and you dealt with it, and that was that. No use fussing. No use asking what could have been, might have been, if things were different. If you were different.

    She’d been a child, and then a soldier, and she’d never considered that maybe hurting all the time wasn’t normal. Because of course she did. With the things the Horde put them through? Adora didn’t know enough about the world to think anything of it.

    Summary

    A sleepy voice spoke from behind her, "Hey, Adora."

     

    Of course! Catra. Her girlfriend. Just her girlfriend.

     

    …But the urge to run away was still there.

     

    Or: Adora starts getting touch averse, doesn't respect her own boundaries, and this leads to a sensory overload.
