Summary
“What the fuck.” Adora’s voice shook.
Catra stopped rewinding, and tentatively hit play again. They watched it forwards this time. A massive wolf smashed through the fence, sending shattered painted shards everywhere. It clearly howled in pain. Its golden fur was painted red around its maw and down its front and, now, around its leg. It slumped forwards into the mud. It lay there for a while.
Then it shuddered.
It started shaking, violently.
Its limbs snapped about in horrible ways. Fur receding into skin.
Its size shrinking.
Then it was Adora. Lying face down in the mud. Fencing stuck through her leg. Her arm bent at a horrible angle.
Adora doesn't remember anything. She's woken up with new senses, new strength, new hunger, and new... form. She's lying in the mud of Catra's backyard knowing it's the only safe place in the world.

OR

Summary
Separated by fate and brought back together by destiny, this is the story of two girls who were born to be together but pulled apart at every turn.
First by furious attacks, then by cruel fate that put them both into powerful hands where one blossomed while the other withered and finally by a destiny that would place them back into each others orbit only to see them hurt each other again and again until they wrestle power away from the divine and bend it to their will.
No Queen, no General and no Bishop will tear them asunder.

Summary
The world is run by a Hive Mind. No feelings, no names, no choices.
Catra was born free, deep in the rebellion—surrounded by found family, missions, and people who actually feel things. She doesn’t trust anyone who came from the Hive.
Then a tall, glitching, dumb blonde Enforcer stumbles in—asking questions like what soup is, why dreams are scary, and if holding hands helps with morale.
Catra is annoyed. And flustered.
And, somehow, the one stuck teaching her how to human.
Bow and Glimmer are making a "Flustered Catra" meter.
And the dumb blonde is starting to smile.AKA The Hive AU
In short, Catra is a flustered lesbian. Adora is a dumb, oblivious lesbian. And, the entire rebellion ships them.

Summary
Set around 800 BBY, Adora and Glimmer head towards Malastare to take their final test needed to finally leave their days as Padawans behind them. But things go south, when both of them as well as every other Padawan taking this test gets attacked. After only barely surviving this, they are sent out by the Jedi High Council to find the conspirators behind this attack on the Jedi.
Meanwhile on the other side of the galaxy, Catra heads towards Ryloth to fulfill the task her Master, the Dark Lord of the Sith Hordak has given her, in a hope to finally prove herself worthy of more advanced teachings about the dark side of the Force and evetually rising up to the ranks of a Lord herself.

The North Wind Last Night by purpleelephants

Summary
Catra was a passenger on the ship of the century. Sure, she was technically a stowaway, but does it really count if your friends who helped you sneak on board were crew members? She wasn't about to stay behind while they went off on an adventure on a luxury ship just because she couldn't afford a ticket.
Adora was a passenger on the ship to capitalistic hell. Or maybe that was her whole life, but now on a ship. The trip was going to serve as a long business meeting to solidify Light Hope's - and one day Adora's - railway company's partnership with Horde Steel Industries. Having the Horde as the major supplier for the ambitious cross-country passenger railway would save the project, save the company, after a series of losses. Even if Adora was still in the dark on a lot of the project's finer details, this is what Light Hope had been preparing Adora for for years. It would be selfish of Adora to jeopardize the deal.

Summary
"So, what did you say your name was again?" Adora asks as she drops soft kisses down the woman's back.
She smiles as she nuzzles into the pillow, stretching under Adora’s careful touch. "I didn't say." She murmurs back.
"Mind sharing with the class now?" She prompts. She got so swept up in their chemistry and the absolutely devastating way this woman had about the sheets, that she forgot to ask. For a while when she laid claim to Adora’s thighs, she barely remembered her own name.
"Catra." She sighs as Adora lingers between her shoulder blades. Adora freezes her lips inches from Catra’s skin, still feeling the heat there. She pulls back, feeling the blood rushing from her face.
She's so screwed.
Fuck fuck fuck. She'd just fucked Glimmer's ex. Fuck.
OR
When Catra moves back to Elberon, Glimmer tells Adora to stay far away from her ex. How hard could that possibly be? "Dating Your Best Friend's Ex" AU.

Summary
"I saw the witch last night,” Adora announces. “When I fell out of the car, I heard something. Like this…buzzing. A static. And then I saw a face, a woman’s face, screaming. She was so angry. And then things started flashing, like visions, and I saw a book and a tree and then her again."
Entrapta giggles madly, spinning her binder towards them. "I knew it! The witch is real!”
Before them is a crude depiction of a woman cutting off her hand, surrounded by rocks and a large tree with a noose hanging from it. Blood and fire pool around her feet, and it almost looks like she has devil horns.
“C’yra Fier was hanged for witchcraft in 1666 — that’s a fact. You can look it up in any of the town’s historical ledgers. Ever since then, she’s been possessing innocent people and turning them into slaves to get revenge on the town that killed her.”
-
After a catastrophic breakup and Adora moving away, her and Catra are no longer on speaking terms. But when a sudden accident leads Adora to have a sinister vision, they become entangled in an ancient witch’s curse. A curse that refuses to release its grip on them…until their hearts stop beating.

Summary
Adora is a lifeguard at an old rec center in the city of Eternia; it's far from what she planned for her life to be like at age 27. She used to be a swimmer on her college team, but that... didn't pan out. (Because of reasons.) But she keeps on going, pushing down her lingering feelings and trying to fake-it-til-you-make-it into some kind of satisfaction with her life.
Until she meets Catra, a woman with a lifelong fear of water who shows up at her rec center for swimming lessons. There's no denying there's something else in the water when Catra's around, and from there, everything is immediately different.
(AKA, slow burn Catradora goodness, eventual smut, angst later on, and a whole lot of love.)

Summary
In the aftermath of Shadow Weaver's death, Adora and Catra uncover disturbing secrets, experiments and abandoned creations that force them to confront their childhood trauma and demons. Their journey of healing is not a straight line as Adora struggles with psychological effects of the war. Meanwhile Catra realises that redemption is not as easy as just helping Adora save Etheria. There are still children that fear her and people that do not forgive her for her deeds. Their attempt at happiness is violently interrupted when they encounter a mysterious figure known only as "1000."
In the hidden city of Blood Moon, a figure designed merely to be a faulty mistake questions her purpose. She only has value to help her brother reach his greatness, yet she yearns for more. As war reaches its peak, she makes a desperate choice—traveling back in time to destroy the sword and wipe out the magicats. But loyalty and betrayal hang in balance as she faces the ultimate choice. One question remains, haunting her every step: Will everyone remember her name, or will she be forgotten like all the other failed experiments?

Summary
Adora being tired was an understatement. From the constant fighting against the Horde to the incessant squabbles between herself and Glimmer, she was about ready to collapse at any moment.
Then Glimmer said the worst possible thing to her.
Collapse was an understatement. Adora was ready to be gone, over, forgotten. Then the person she expected last is the one who caught her.

“You did it. You won. Kill me, Cat.”
"... I'm not just going to sit here and let you leave. Not like that. Never like that.”

Summary
“When you see a woman, say, in a tight skirt, or perhaps in the locker room, in the showers...” Light Hope trailed off, looking at Adora expectantly who shifted uncomfortably and continuing gently when she didn’t answer. “You don’t have any... unnatural thoughts?”
“I don’t think it’s unnatural."
or
Adora considers herself a typical American girl. She excels in school and cheerleading, and she has a handsome football-playing boyfriend, even though she isn't that crazy about him. So she's stunned when her parents decide she's gay and send her to Eternian Amendments, a boot camp meant to alter her sexual orientation. While there, Adora meets run-of-the-mill asshole and unashamed teen lesbian, Catra. Though Adora still feels confused, her developing feelings make her problems so much worse.

Summary
Has anyone Set It Up? The picture perfect life where everything falls into place and you're never left scrambling for crumbs or purpose?
That's the question Catra's been asking herself, for years. With her shallow savings and never-ending shifts, Catra struggles to relish the one piece of joy in her life - fashion.
When Adora steps in, perfect life in tow, Catra thinks she's figured her out. Ambitious, motivated, and charming. Surely someone like Adora has everything in her favour...right?
===
Catradora AU (set in a non magical Etheria) that includes a snarky multi-talented Catra and a dorky, lovable Adora....with a side of Bow and Glimmer. Not sure how often I'll be updating this but my pet peeve is brilliant but unfinished fanfics, so I'll try and be consistent with chapter uploads :)
*Most characters are created and owned by the creator and writer of SPOP, I'm merely presenting my interpretation of them*

Summary
Adora S. Grayskull has just transferred to the exclusive private school of Brightmoon High, thanks to her mom getting a new job. She is also given a brand new diary to share her thoughts with. Not that she wants to. Diaries are lame. Well, it's not like her life is especially interesting anyway. A new school. No friends. Big deal.
No no, dear reader! That IS a big deal! Will she survive? Will she find friends? Love? Herself?
Well, at least she found one thing. A mortal enemy. After only two days. Whihoo.
Now, before we begin our tale... NO SEX! DON'T CALL ME A PERVERT. This is about teenagers trying to figure out things while being dorky. At most there will occur some rather awkward kissing.
