Summary
Together they’re unstoppable.
It doesn’t matter that they haven't been friendly with each other for ages, that each training session they had was filled with nasty jeers and emotional stabs, because deep down they knew one another.
Their short program went perfectly yesterday, giving them a strong start. This free skate will capture their win, Catra’s sure of it. They’re the final performance.
As they reach their starting positions on the rink, the crowd goes quiet. In fact, the whole world goes quiet, and it’s just Adora and Catra staring at each other. Their arguments and bickering melt away, and Adora peers straight into Catra’s soul, as though to ask if she’s ready.
Catra doesn’t have time to respond. The music kicks up and her body starts moving, muscle memory already in play.

Summary
Catra's an idiot. One hand raised to the door, the other bunching up the skirt and train of her white dress. Shoes shucked off somewhere along the run, the heels stuck in the mud. Sheltered from the rain, huddled under the awning. So close to the door, fist inches from knocking on wood, yet miles away; the distance further than visible.
When Prime had picked the venue, some sick relief had filled her. Did she always have one foot out of the door? Clearly so. Now she's run off like a coward. He's waiting at the altar whilst she's on the stoop of Adora's home.
Catra's knuckle rattles against the door, and now everything's set in stone. No return.

Summary
“Weaver!” Adora screamed over the comms, desperate to get some kind of response, “Sergeant Weaver! Do you copy?!” She paused, hand shaking violently as she clutched onto her radio. She looked at the burning building in flames right in front of her. Tears welled in her eyes and a deep pit of anxiety brewed in her stomach at the lack of response, “Fuck! Catra, baby, please!"
“I’m here,” Catra choked out, her voice just not overshadowed by the crushing sounds of the building collapsing with her still inside, “I’m alive.”

Summary
“Hey Adora,” Catra rasps, her voice lower than usual. Adora blushes, “why’d you-” Catra cuts herself off to yawn, “why'd you transform?”
“I just wanted a better look at you,” Adora responds. Catra's face pulls into a frown and Adora has a realisation, “oh! I never told you. She-Ra has super vision. I can see things super well when I’m She-Ra,” Adora doesn’t mean to sound like she’s boasting, but it is pretty cool. Catra’s face stays frowning though.

Summary
“You kissed me.” Those three words coming from Adora’s mouth should sound perfect, after all the yearning Catra’s felt, but Adora’s voice was too distraught for Catra to feel warmth.
“I’m pregnant,” Catra revealed, watching Adora’s face crumple.
“You kissed me,” Adora repeated, this time bitterly. Catra’s heart sank as Adora’s eyes watered and her eyebrows furrowed, “you kissed me, whilst I have a girlfriend and you’re pregnant.” Catra opened her mouth but she was speechless. Slowly, she hugged herself, teary eyes, “I’m going.” Adora stormed toward the exit. Catra went to speak when Adora turned around, and suddenly Catra shrunk under Adora's stare. For just a moment, Adora’s eyes softened, the gaze that Catra loved returning, before her stare hardened. Catra blinked tears down her cheeks, trailing from her jaw to the floor.
“I’m sorry,” Catra said, and Adora walked out.

Summary
Catra figured that if she went from working at local town bars to more upscale night clubs that the number of creepy men that try hitting on her would decrease significantly. Wrong, the only difference is the amount of money in their wallets.

Things get complicated when an alien life form crash lands in Etheria, and Adora is forced to team up with a new antihero.
The main issue is that this new antihero won't stop flirting with Adora and may or may not be that supposedly dead best friend.

Summary
"Are you with your soulmate? Or are you waiting around for them like 'half the world'?" Adora uses air quotes to emphasize Catra's words. Adora can feel her palms sweat, thinking of how she'll feel if Catra says she has found her other half.
Catra shrugs, a picture of carelessness. "Nah. I haven't thought about my soul mark since it disappeared off me." The blasé way she says it makes Adora feel like that wasn't the whole truth.
Adora doesn't press. "It aches sometimes. Feels empty, without the soul mark." Adora admits in a quiet whisper staring down at the bar top. Catra absentmindedly rubs her left shoulder.
Adora looks up at Catra. Both of Catra's hands press down on the bar top. Adora takes a chance and slowly slides her hand next to Catra's, only their pinkies touching. The small touch feels like it vibrates through Adora's body.
"But I don't ache when I'm here with you." Adora shrugs apologetically like she knows she shouldn't say something so forward to a woman who is just trying to do her job.
OR
Adora doesn't find her soulmate by 30 and her soul mark disappears. The next week, she meets a bartender that turns her world on its head. Soul Mark AU.
