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?

Heart and Soul by ResFlower for queenmillicentofbystander

Summary
"Catra." She says firmly, eyes flying up to the other woman’s face. "I wouldn't choose anyone in the world to be stuck with after an alien invasion other than you. If the world were normal, I'd still wish for us to meet. No matter the circumstances ... I want this."
Adora doesn't move her hand, but she keeps her touch light enough that Catra can pull away if she wants to. "If you don't feel the same, it'll be alright. But I need you to know." Adora will put on a brave face, even if the thought of not having Catra makes her want to die.
Catra's holding her, one arm wrapped tightly around her waist. "I—fuck." She curses, her voice charged. "Adora, you're my miracle. I can't believe that I found you against all odds. And if I had the chance to save the whole world from these stupid worm aliens but I'd have to give you up—" She sighs. "I wouldn't do it."
Adora's heart thunders in her chest at the declaration. "That's wrong." She points out, but she's smiling as she does it.
Catra smiles back, eyes warm. "Super fucked up, but no less true."
OR
Glimmer, an alien, is implanted in Adora's body. They find their way back to Adora's family. The Host AU.

Blood in the Cut by SolarPoweredFlashlight

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 thought she had died a long time ago. Sacrificing herself to save Glimmer from Horde Prime’s fleet, she awoke instead as a broken gladiator on Klagthorn, scarred, amputated, and trapped in a cycle of blood and survival. For years, she endured the arena and the chains of her captors, numbing herself with Rust and burying every memory of love and hope.
When Adora appears in the shadows of her prison, everything Catra tried to bury comes clawing back. Rescuing her is only the beginning. Between the scars of enslavement, the weight of addiction, and the looming war against Prime, both women must navigate a fragile path toward healing and trust. As Adora shoulders the burden of leadership and Catra fights to reclaim her identity, their love is tested by the brutal reality of war and the ghosts of their past.

When Catra agrees to spend Christmas with Adora’s family, meeting them for the first time, she plans to win them over despite her disdain of all things holiday-related. The plan quickly goes south when Adora confesses her parents don’t know the two are dating—moreover, they don’t even know Adora is gay.

Summary
"You look out for me, and I look out for you. Nothing really bad can happen as long as we have each other"
As Adora looks out from the highest point in Brightmoon Castle, she doesn't see the sunlight glinting off of the ocean waves. She doesn't hear the chattering of the citizens below her going about their day. All she can sense are the ghosts of her past, and the whisper of a promise long broken.
Force Commander Catra, the greatest military leader the Horde has seen in decades, the architect of a dozen campaigns of conquest, is dead. The Princess Alliance, more importantly She-Ra, has to decide how to react to this development in their war. On one hand, the Horde just lost what may have been their greatest asset, the person almost solely responsible for their rapid advance across the continent. On the other hand, Adora is faced with her reopened wounds, and the prospect of a future without her former best friend.
She would never let herself dream that halfway across the continent that same Magicat is waking up to a new future of her own. A struggle for survival, and a journey to find some kind of peace with who she is and what she's done.

Summary
Catra clenches her fists. She won’t let it happen. She won’t endanger their future. “We can’t change anything. We’ll just have to wait, and do everything the same way we did before.”
Adora grabs Catra’s shoulders. Her grip is so tight, it’s nearly painful. “But do you realize what that means for us? Playing along. Letting things go the exact same way as before–”
Catra’s expression darkens. “I know,” she says, struggling to keep her voice from trembling. “You’ll have to leave. We’ll have to be enemies again.”
***
Years after defeating Horde Prime, Catra and Adora inexplicably wake up in the past—on the day that Adora first found the sword. If they're going to make it back to the present, they'll have to relive their past from start to finish, pretending to be enemies despite being in love. Despite being married. Despite knowing exactly how the story ends.But it's not easy, waging war against the person you love most.
(now read the sequel, immemorial)!

The memory of Angella’s last moments, her sacrifice, haunted Adora. She had never been able to share Angella’s exact last words with anyone, not even with Bow—how Angella had told her to look after everyone.
Everyone was overjoyed to hear that rescuing Angella was possible. Adora shared that joy, of course, but did not know how she would face the Queen. How could she tell Angella that, once again, she had failed?

Your Traitorous Kiss by queenmillicentofbystander, ResFlower

Summary
Adora doesn’t look at me. She just smiles and stares out at the valley. “We’re going to do so much for the Horde. You’re going to be singing in the High Choir and writing hymnals, and I’ll be charged with a Seminary—oh! Or on a Sojourn… teaching our histories to all of Etheria and sharing Prime’s Light…”
She makes it sound almost whimsical. But it’s not.
I bite my lip. “If you’re on a Sojourn we’ll never get to see each other.”
She finally looks up at me and she frowns. I almost feel bad for taking her smile away. “I don’t have to submit for a Sojourn. It was just an idea.” She pulls her arm from my shoulders but lays her hand next to mine and grazes the back of it with her fingertips. “Who knows, maybe I’d be considered for Priesthood.”
I laugh, trying to shake my nerves. I don’t like the idea of Adora going away or being a priestess. If Adora becomes a priestess then—then we can’t—
I shake the thought. That’s stupid. Adora wouldn’t… she wouldn’t want that anyway.
OR The Horde is a church that Adora and Catra are in training to serve in and then it all goes to hell when She-Ra shows up.

Our Haunted Fairytale by Lost_in_the_mycelium

Tags
Summary
Adora likes to read soulmate books. The more tortured and star-crossed and dramatic, the better. Sometimes Catra wonders if Adora feels like she missed out. They don't have an epic romantic story—they just grew up together. How is Catra supposed to compete with some fairytale heroine fighting through a magical war or alien invasion to save the person she loves?
She covers her insecurity by teasing Adora mercilessly about her reading choices.
“Good book, princess?” she asks, smirking.
Adora rolls her eyes. “There aren't even any princesses in this one.”
“If there are no pretty blonde royals traipsing around, how are you supposed to self-insert?” Catra teases.
Adora looks up at her with an expression that is entirely too smug. “Did you just call me pretty?”
Catra pauses, meeting her eyes. “Yep.” The confidence slips a little from Adora's face as she starts to blush. “You're pretty...stupid. And so is that fairytale crap.”
Soulmate/soulmark AU where Catradora grow up knowing they're soulmates, but Catra still manages to think that Adora doesn't want her.

Shadow Weaver hovers closer. “Soon, Adora will have forgotten all about her little princess friends. Now, move aside.”
“No,” Catra hisses. “I won’t.”
…
Angella sighs in exasperation. “Adora, I understand Catra is your friend, but she will still have to answer for her crimes. It will be a fair and just process, please let us—”
Adora holds her ground, meeting Angella’s gaze. “No. I won’t.”

Summary
The birds chirp along to the diner door opening, and Catra stares as Adora walks toward her beaten up Volvo, unlocking the door before turning toward Catra.
She looks at her for what seems like an eternity but is probably just mere seconds.
Catra allows herself to smile, her teeth chattering from the cold morning air.
It seems cruel, the fact Adora has grown up while Catra has stayed the same, with the same childish mentality that tells her to run up to her and beg her to stay.
She doesn’t.

Three years after running away from her hometown, Catra reunites with the only thing that made her want to stay, Adora Gray.

Summary
Catra has been struggling in the lowest rungs of the Vegas cocktail scene for about a year when she comes across an interesting offer online - $100 to get fed on by a vampire. Sure, Catra’s never actually met a vampire before, let alone gotten her blood drawn by one. But she’s done worse things for less money, and shifts at the casino are drying up fast. Why not let some Craigslist rando suck on her neck for a few minutes?
As it turns out, there are quite a few answers to that question. They’re just not the ones Catra was expecting.

Summary
Catra loves caves. After days of noise and bright lights that drill into her head, she loves the quiet darkness that accepts her in a way that the world aboveground, where people reach for her ears without asking and conversations with her girlfriend get increasingly difficult, never has.
When something bursts out of an underground lake, sharp teeth flashing, long-nailed fingers grasping for her ankle, Catra should stay away. But she's drawn back, again and again, to the creature whose glowing blue eyes linger in Catra's mind long after she's packed away her climbing ropes.

Summary
Adora Grey has always been in the shadow of her older brother, Adam. Adam is tall, intelligent, and happens to be finishing his final term at Harvard Law school. Adora is smart in her own right but tends to do things that work for her.
Ever since Adam left for college he has turned into someone she barely recognizes. When a final jab about her not being able to make a decision with her career finally breaks her. She decides she’s going to apply to Harvard law school just to prove him wrong.
To everyone’s surprise, including her own, she gets in. She sticks out like a sore thumb, but with the reluctant help from fellow classmate Catra D’riluth she may realize this is exactly where she belongs.
Basically a cute legally blonde au inspired by both the movie and musical that has been rotting in my brain for months.

Summary
The door opens and the scent of glitter hits the air. Hopefully the president of the local Neighborhood Association is just here for breakfast and not trying to get Catra to volunteer for some inane town activity again.
She looks up and feels her heart skid to a halt.
Glimmer isn't alone.
Glimmer isn't alone and Catra suddenly realizes that she didn't take off her unflattering apron or the stupid hairnet that covers her mane and ears. She's sweaty and probably has coconut flour on her face.
She is realizing all of these things because trailing behind the sparkly menace is Adora Grayskull.
In Brightmoon.
In Catra's bakery.
She considers fleeing but there are few people she would trust less alone in her place of business than Glimmer Queen. She'd probably come back to find the counters bedazzled or something.
