    Summary

    What were the stages of grief again?

    Denial, Jax remembers. He knows that one. It’s the first on the list, the one that clues people in that it’s developing grief in the first place. Not that he’s grieving. That was silly. And a straight up delusional take on his situation. He doesn’t grieve.

    Cartoonish purple rabbits don’t grieve.

    The dead can’t speak, the guilty don’t deserve to. Pomni has Thoughts™ and makes it Jax’s whole problem.

    (Or: the one where she gives one last push.)

    Summary

    He was no stranger to severing ties before they would cut too deeply. It was how he had always operated here; if you don’t let anyone hook into you, you couldn’t be torn.

    Did this really sting that deeply for him to reconsider?

    ---

    Jax isn't used to making or keeping friends. Or thinking of anyone else. Or caring about their opinion. Or thinking of himself as worthy of love.

    Or possibly receiving it in return.

    Summary

    Caine devises a way to ease the tension that has been plaguing the circus lately (and it's definitely nothing like seven minutes in heaven).

    Which, of course, results in Pomni and Jax getting locked in a closet together.

    Hijinks - or something like that - ensue.

    Summary

    It was absolutely unremarkable. Some girl talking to herself as she explored a building that she was clearly bored of. Nothing special.

    Jax… knew that voice, though. It made all of the difference. He wanted her to say something else-- he needed her to say something else. He could hear his heartbeat in his ears. In the back of his mind, he could hear a jester-looking girl laughing at something stupid he said.

    (Or: After escaping the circus, Jax finds himself back in the unchanged real world. Unfortunately, the relationships he'd made-- and didn't make-- in the Circus continued to nag at him.)

    Summary

    Jax is definitely not beating himself up after his argument with Pomni. Why would he, when he's already told her and himself he doesn't care about anyone in the circus? He's determined to keep his actual feelings about the circus members behind the door of his bedroom, all contained to a singular corkboard on his wall.

    Pomni is determined to continue being friends with Jax, even after their spat, because she knows he was lying his way through it. She's respecting his space as best as she can, until him ignoring her makes her break entirely. Can she find a way to make them be friends again, and find a way past the walls he's built up around himself?

    Summary

    '“I see you’ve noticed Satan over there.”

    “Huh?” Adora felt her cheeks flushing red as she tore her gaze away from the girl and turned to whoever had spoken. “Sorry, were you talking to me?”

    The gorgeous girl strutted past them without a single glance, like she was totally oblivious to how much the world seemed to want her. The girl who had spoken to her followed the other girls down the hallway with her gaze. An intense wave of dislike seemed to emanate from her.

    “Satan,” the girl repeated, nodding down the hallway once the other girls turned the corner, “Catrina Driluth, but everyone just calls her Catra. Head cheerleader. All the girls want to be her, all the guys want to fuck her, and she’s completely fucking evil from head to toe.”'

    Or, Catra is the bitchy head cheerleader and Adora is the socially awkward new girl. What could go wrong?

    'Adora didn’t give her lips permission to raise but she can’t help it with Catra standing only a few feet away, her brows still slightly sweaty from her recent practice and her eyes…

    …staring at Adora with hatred and bubbling anger.'

    or; after a disaster debut into the competitive figure skating world, Adora’s lost her confidence, reputation, and most importantly, her passion. Adora is taking multiple steps to get it back, but when she realises she has to compete against her former teammate, Catra, Adora finds herself wondering whether her passion ever was ever really in skating at all.

    They figure skate. They're in love. That's all

    Summary

    She hears Catra's scoff. "You haven't even seen my eyes."

    "I don't need to look into your eyes to know they're beautiful." Adora just knows it in her bones that Catra is gorgeous. Every part of her is, inside and out.

    Catra lets out a high pitched laugh. "I'm sure you say that to all the monsters you try to slay."

    Adora fights the urge to open her eyes, leaning her head against Catra's shoulder to be safe. "You aren't a monster, Catra." She whispers it ardently, hoping her voice says what her gaze can't.

    Catra runs her claws through Adora's hair, gently stroking it. "It feels that way sometimes." Her sigh is forlorn. "You know, eye contact is so intimate. And the only time I've had it with someone since I was cursed, it's just to see life leave their eyes."

She immediately starts crushing hard on Catra but is slow to do anything about it because she can't really tell if Catra is single or not.

    Summary

    FAMOUS STARS CATRA AND ADORA GREY WERE SPOTTED TOGETHER AT MERMISTA SALINEAS’ NEW YEAR'S EVE BASH, 5 YEARS AFTER THE INITIAL FEUD. HAS IT FINALLY COME TO AN END?

    Adora is sure her manager called her into her office to talk about starting a new tour. The timing’s right, especially since her rival, Catra D’riluth, or simply known as CATRA, is at the tail end of her own tour. Not that Adora was following her tour at all, or her record sales, or how she bought an apartment in the same part of Etheria as Adora. It’s nothing. Catra has always been able to get under her skin. Ever since she blasted her on that late-night interview when they were 19 for no good reason.

    But five years later after the start of their feud, Catra's team offers to start a PR relationship with Adora. She can't help but be intrigued and suspicious. Both are desperate to control their own image to the media, and not have to face past public issues. So, can these two pop stars make a truce for the sake of their careers and privacy? Or will lines begin to blur and affect both their careers or worse...evolve into something real?

    Summary

    “I missed you.”

    “Yeah, you already said that, idiot,” Catra groused, even though her face was buried in Adora’s neck.

    “I did?” It was Adora’s turn to move, and Catra’s turn to tighten her grip.

    “Yeah.”

    “…Oh.”

    The room was cold, but Adora was warm.


    In the Northern Reach, monsters infected by Entrapta’s disk emerge from the quarry and destroy the Horde base. Catra is separated from the rest and subsequently finds herself stranded in a blizzard with a drunk Adora in her care.

    Summary

    "Catra was the only person she’d ever felt truly comfortable with. With Catra, she could be as weird as possible, and Catra would never judge her or make her feel like a total idiot. She was comfortable, in a way she’d never been able to find since. And years later, she was entirely not over how everything happened.

     

    Adora Gray had loved Catrina Driluth ever since she was five years old, and she’d just been too ignorant to admit it."

     

    Or, Adora and Catra's relationship spanning from childhood to adulthood. Modern AU.

    Summary

    “No, don’t be stupid. I don’t like Adora.” Catra negated, probably far too quickly.

    “According to the data there has been a 53.33% increase in aggression which correlates with the past increases of aggression when the subject had engaged in previous romantic attraction. Along with the 89.78% increase in physical touch, the data show that you have a crush.” Entrapta rattled off while turning her computer to show several graphs of Catra’s behavior. Catra groaned and threw her head into her hands.

    ----

    Or Catra shares a class with Adora Gray, the preppy jock that she swears she hates. When she makes a split decision and helps Adora out Adora decides she's set on being Catra's friend. Will Catra finally figure out her feelings about Adora?

    “What’s that one?” Catra asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

     

    Adora hummed, nuzzling closer to Catra and tracing the outline of the stars with a finger.

     

    “Sword,” Adora decided.

     

    Catra laughed, shifting to rest her head on Adora’s chest, “Sure. Which side is the pointy end?”

     

    “That one, obviously,” Adora pointed to the lower part of the constellation, pouting at Catra’s look of skepticism.

    Summary

    “Here’s your book back,” Adora held out the book, a tentative smile on her face, “I’m sorry she was being a jerk.”

    Catra felt flustered all of a sudden. She wanted to thank Adora, but the words lodged in her throat.

    Gently, she took the book, hands curling protectively around it, her tail twitching nervously behind her.

    “It’s fine,” Catra muttered, face reddening in embarrassment at her barely audible tone.

    Adora hummed as if she didn’t notice, “Well, I think reading is cool. I bet you’re super smart from reading all those books!”

    She poked the corner of Catra’s book, blue eyes widening at the amount of pages.

    “Like this one! It’s got like a gazillion pages. It must be pretty interesting.”

    Summary

    The first time Adora and Catra met they hated each other. Well, Catra hated Adora. The next time they met Adora didn't even remember Catra. Or, it took her a minute. The next time they met they became friends. And they were friends for a long time. But how long can a friendship last between two people who might be in love with each other? And, realistically, how is that friendship going to end?
