    Summary

    "I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."

    "This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"

    "Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."

    "Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

    Summary

    Catra smiles, snakelike, catlike, the corners of her pink mouth lifting upward. “Come swim with me, Adora,” she says, less pleadingly and more like she knows already Adora will say yes. She’s too close to Adora, who can feel the princess’ warmth, and the sun is beating down again on her own clothed figure. Adora breathes in dust and humidity, and she thirsts.

    Summary

    She-Ra doesn't scar.

    In her mind’s eye, the Horde insignia remains emblazoned on her back: jagged, scabbed-over crimson lines permanently carving Hordak’s wings into her shoulder blades in Catra’s uneven handwriting. The proof of Adora's identity spelled out violently across her skin.

    In the mirror, there’s absolutely nothing there.

    Summary

    Unthinking Adora leans forward to tuck a loose tendril of hair behind Catra’s ear. Catra stills. Her ears and tail go rigid with anxiety, and it’s only then that Adora realizes how much Catra’s hair has grown in the last few months. At this length, pushed back behind her ears, it reminds Adora of…

    She remembers the shock of seeing Catra’s hair, shorn and slicked back, on Horde Prime’s ship. She had never seen Catra’s hair that short in her life — and if she had, it would have been when they were too young for her to remember.

    Without it, she had seemed so small.

    “I’m sorry,” Adora says, snatching her hand back. “I didn’t mean to, I—”

    “It’s fine,” says Catra. She runs a hand through her hair, effectively dislodging the piece that Adora has just brushed down. She catches Adora’s hand in hers and says, “If it’s you, it’s fine.”

    A study of character and relationship growth through hair, or: Five times Adora helped Catra with her hair, and one time Catra helped Adora with hers.
