    Summary

    Getting a believable set of false documents and ID was the best thing Jade ever did for herself.

    She swipes a thumb over the glossy surface of her new ID. A driver’s license, declaring she’s 16. Jade doesn’t know if that age gap — she’s only 13 — is fully believable, but she can make it work. It looks legit, and cost her a hefty bit of cash — well, cost Sportsmaster a hefty bit of cash. (She learned how to crack the safe in his bedroom long ago, and took all the cash she could carry with her when she left the house. She figured that if she was running from him, the least he could do was pay for her to get away safely.)

    What Jade’s most excited about is the name printed in thick, dark ink next to her ID picture.

    Jade Nguyen.

    Summary

    SPOILERS FOR SEASON 5


    When she finally looked up and into the small mirror above the sink, it wasn’t her staring back—it was a white uniform, slicked back hair, and eyes that glowed green in the dark. 

    Little sister.

    Or, Catra gives herself a haircut. Adora helps. 
    (Inspired by noticing that Catra’s hair got even shorter after their escape from Horde Prime’s ship.)

    Summary

    "It’s funny," Horde Prime says, humourlessly, “how love truly is the common weakness across the galaxies. What’s her name?”

    Catra scowls, unable to keep her mask on anymore. “Leave her alone.”

    “I have only the best of intentions with my allies, child.” His lips slowly curl up. “What’s her name?” He asks again, voice less friendly.

    Catra breathes in and out, in and out. She lets her face go blank again. “Adora. But she’s not myー”

    “So that’s the mighty She-Ra.” He says. He starts to pace around, arms behind him.
