    Summary

    "As soon as she saw who the client was, her words died in her throat. Her drink slipped out of her hand a second later, but Catra couldn’t bring herself to care about the stain it would leave in the carpet.

    Across the table from her boss, wearing a perfectly-tailored suit that looked more expensive than most of Catra’s tuition payments, was Adora.

    As in, that Adora. The one Catra dated for all of college.

    The one that broke her heart four and a half weeks before graduation.

    The one that, according to what she’d said on the last day Catra had seen her, had fallen out of love with her."

    Or, six years ago, Adora and Catra were college students in love. Then, in one fateful meeting at a coffee shop, Adora broke Catra's heart.

    Now Catra's a junior partner at a law firm handling a patent dispute for Adora's family company. The two of them have to re-enter the other's life in an attempt for closure, catharsis, and connection.

    Summary

    "“Oh my God,” Catra said, barely above a whisper. “You’re rich as fuck, aren’t you?”

    “Guilty,” Adora said, cringing a little. “Sorry. I thought Glimmer told you.”

    “I’m gonna fucking kill her.” Catra shook her head, trying to wipe the stunned expression off her face. “I can’t believe she set me up on a blind date with a goddamn millionaire.”

    “Yeah,” Adora said awkwardly. “Oops.”

    “It’s—” Catra shook her head. “Okay, Glimmer aside, how would you paying for my tuition even work? I mean, we—we’ve only been on one date, and it’s not even over yet.”

    “It’s a crazy idea,” Adora said. “I know. Just—just forget I said anything.”

    Maybe it was the buzz of alcohol, or maybe it was the shock of finding out she was on a blind date with a rich person, but Catra couldn’t stop herself from blurting, “Well, I didn’t say no.”

    A beat.

    Adora blinked, looking up at her. “What?”

     

    Or: Catra is a physics PhD student struggling to balance life, work, and loans. When her friend sets her up on a blind date, she doesn't expect it to be with the most attractive millionaire she's ever seen. They work out an arrangement.

    Summary

    "For the last four years, Catra’s routine had been the same.

    Every day, she woke up just after dawn; left the comfort of her own bed to go prepare food for her, her husband, and whatever guests they might have; and checked the supply of ale in the cellar.

    Then, she would make sure all the mugs and glasses were clean. Once people started rolling in, usually just after noon, the bar would be wiped down and the musicians she employed would be setting up. She would make idle conversation with the others and finish cleaning up until the first groups of men looking for a drink showed up with pockets that clinked and jingled with coins, and then the rest of the night would be spent cleaning mugs and pouring ale.

    Catra had resigned herself to this life with a sort of detached acceptance.

    Then, a Rebellion captain walked into her establishment, and she knew instantly that something was about to change."

    or, Captain Adam Fairchild, who harbors a secret that could get him killed, goes in search of a spy to help the Rebellion's cause. He finds it — and much, much more — in a tavern-keeper's wife.

    Summary

    “Let me be clear with ya.” The woman breathes against her face, and Catra has never wanted to both kiss and punch the lights out of someone more in her entire life. “I don´t trust you, I don't want you here and I don't care about you.” The woman grins, something a little bit crooked like the bridge of her nose, taunting Catra out of her wits. “Is that enough for you?”
    ~
    Catra loves the rain, cold and sticking to her hair, making her steady where she doesn´t feel like she belongs. Adora is afraid of storms, the thunder in the sky and the memories that brings with. They are nothing alike and yet they are both the same. Like the Faerie fairy tales they both heard in their childhood beds, a thousand miles away from each other.

    Or

    Catra grew up away from her homeland since she was a baby. Now that she is older and she has found out about the recent passing of her father, a lot of surprises await for her at the old Village of Alwyn. Not everyone is happy about that though, specially not Adora.
