Summary
After the fall of Prime, Etheria and the universe are able to experience peace for the first time. The war is over, but frustratingly Adora's body isn't getting the memo. After knowing nothing but life as a soldier for so long, she finds herself still reacting to everyday situations with the sense of urgency of someone at war. She can only feign being okay for so long before she ultimately has to accept help dealing with the effects of trauma, but admitting she has a problem will mean acknowledging that being a hero has done her more harm than good. (Slightly angsty fic about healing, will have a happy ending I promise)

Summary
It was a sea of crimson. Behind her, footprints embedded into the dunes, the trail of it silent. Small. She was a slip of a thing, swallowed by her ragged cloak as she walked.
The wind whispered. Sunlight washed over the earth, seeped into it, bled between the grains until it bore down upon her, this tiny thing that moved inconsequentially among the sand.
“Report, Force Captain.”Catra descends upon a desert planet with naught but a backpack and a mission designation. As far as she knows - her every step a mote of drudgery among a vast landscape of desolate heat, her every breath drawn rattling with the dust of a dead world – she is the only soul around. Save, of course, for the clipped chatter coming from her earpiece. If nothing else, her operator’s mundane prattle would help her stay sane.

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
Found near the Whispering Woods by Razz, Adora grew up near Bright Moon. She dreamed of one day being a knight for the kingdom's army but until she is old enough to start her training, she spends her days exploring the woods with Catra, Glimmer, and Bow.
One day, her and Catra discover an ancient castle hidden deep inside the woods. Whilst exploring the strange palace, Adora gets sealed inside a strange room. She awakens seven years later to find a world vastly different from the one she grew up in.
Catra is now missing, with no one having seen in after she left the castle to get Adora help. The world is at war. The once strong kingdom of Bright Moon in shambles. Adora sets out on a journey to find Catra, stop the war, and restore Etheria to how it was before. And during all this, a strange-masked warrior doing Prime's bidding has been spotted all throughout Etheria.
(Or an Ocarina of Time inspired AU. We have a seven-year time skip, a mysterious warrior, and the guilt of not being around for the last seven years! Don't worry, you don't need to know anything about Ocarina of Time or the Legend of Zelda series to read! This fic is just inspired by some elements of it!)

Summary
Adora has just received her first command, the captain of the Crystal Castle, and she is intent not to mess it up. She is the youngest captain to ever crew a front line starship, and the war effort is depending on her, Light Hope is depending on her, the entire Alliance of Independent Systems is depending on her. It is unfortunate then, that her first mission is doomed before it even begins.
Tasked with secret reconnaissance in the demilitarized zone, the Crystal Castle is shot out of warp by an enemy Horde vessel. They exit from hyperspeed into an unknown system, completely at the mercy of their ambusher. Faced with an impossible decision, Adora chooses to go down with the ship, to both buy time for her crew to escape on shuttles, and to hopefully take down the enemy ship with her.
The gambit works, and both Adora and the Horde ship crash on a densely forested alien planet, uncharted and uncivilized. Adora manages to save the lone survivor of the crashed enemy starship, the Horde officer badly injured and resistant to Adora’s attempts to aid her.
Now, stranded alone on an actively hostile planet with only a snarky Magicat as company, Adora must learn to survive, at any cost.

Summary
ISLE OF SODOR: 2005 – Adora Grey had never been much interested in railways. But when the North-Western Railway opens up paid-traineeships on the Branch Lines, and with rent and bills beginning to pile up on top of a lazy roommate to look after, she decides it’s worth a shot. Assigned to the small station serving Ffarquhar Town, Adora meets two of her new colleagues, Bow and Glimmer, as well as the senior railway men and their locomotives that can... talk? Working on a railway isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, and there’s a lot she needs to learn.

Summary
Adora, a woman of struggling faith, hides her gleaming armor under a ragged cloak. She holds no doubts that the Church of Mara was scanning the streets of Mystacor for her. Their She-Ra had become a runaway, after all.
Clutching her spellbook, Catra dodges through bustling streets. It was all she had left from the place she’d called home for half a decade before ditching. Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling of her headmistress’ presence, nor the shadows that followed.
Stowing away his belongings, Bow tries his best to ignore the stare of the inn’s owner. His sharp mind and sharper aim couldn’t compensate for the sticky fingers of Arxia’s residents. He’s just glad they hadn’t nicked his arm, too.
Hood up and head down, Glimmer stares into the tankard of cheap ale she’s never had the taste for. If anyone around her knew the truth, she’d be halfway back to Brightmoon already. No amount of skill with staff or sorcery could make them forget that her mother, the queen, had passed recently.
In a few minutes, all these lives will crash together, and, despite their differences, they will find that they might just be better off together.
Paths less travelled tend to be dangerous when alone, after all.

Summary
“I didn’t know if you would come,” Adora close to whispers, the last of her fears clinging to her soft tone.
“My squadron leaves at first light,” Her knight’s answer is short and simple, but something soft lies behind it. They both know that no matter what happens tonight Catra will have to leave come sunrise. “I had to see you one last time.”

The last night before Catra leaves the castle to become a commander, she goes to her princess so they can say goodbye.

Summary
Adora said nothing – her mind replaying the image of the thin, frail girl lying in a heap on the floor, blood pouring out of her side.
Her eyes had opened as Adora walked in – heterochromatic like her file had said. Mesmerizing.
While Lonnie had immediately fallen to the floor pressing every soft item within reach against Catra’s wound, the dark-skinned girl did not take her eyes off Adora. Those beautiful yellow and blue eyes that saw into Adora’s very soul – challenging her:
"You thought you knew me? No – you never did."
OR
Catra is a criminal and Adora’s a cop. They meet when Catra’s arrested and Adora’s assigned to guard her. Adora will soon learn that the motives behind Catra’s actions are much more complex than she mistakenly assumed, leading Adora to decide whether her definition of justice is what society says it should be, or what she knows to be true.

Summary
During a tense meeting of the Princess Alliance discussing the lingering effects of the war with the Horde and Hordak's punishment, Catra is confronted with guilt and the fear that she may never be able to make up for the damage she's caused, especially the fate of Queen Angella. Though her friends reassure her, the meeting leaves her unable to dispel her doubts. That night she takes a walk to attempt to clear her mind, and runs into Micah ruminating about his wife and his own place in a kingdom that was changed more than he ever expected in his absence. The two share an uncomfortable heart to heart where they each discuss their feelings, their fears, and their responsibilities for the past and to the future.
