Summary
Yeah, their love saved the universe, yes, the war is over and every one is alive. Yes, there's still a lot of things for them all to try and figure out.
After that there’s no rest. Adora isn’t surprised that she doesn’t get a second to just breathe after everything. She hasn't even begun to process the Heart and everything that happened there, and she's sure she's not going to be able to for a while. The endless wave of congratulations doesn’t feel real, nothing feels real. Nothing except the weight of Catra’s hand in hers. After talking with Swift Wind she had walked back over to her...whatever they were now. The question sits heavy with so many others, but she had pushed it aside, instead taking Catra’s hand and refusing to let go. Whenever Catra tries to pull away, feign annoyance or put that mask back on, she doesn’t let her. Catra gives up after a third try, understanding dawning on her face that Adora needs her, truly needs her to get through this wholly novel experience. She’s the only thing keeping Adora on the ground. She didn’t realise how much she needed the light prick of clawtips against the back of her hand when Catra twines their fingers together properly.
“I’m not going anywhere.”

Summary
It's day three after defeating Prime. Etheria is at peace, finally. And so are they; they've said I love you, they're happy. They’re ready to start trying to believe rather than simply just know what they are to each each now. Which may or may not be easier given that they’re going to have to explain the Heart to their friends.

Summary
Adora’s face is all soft and open in a way that’s just not safe in the Horde. Not that Adora could really be hurt; she’s Shadow Weaver’s favourite, she has a safety net. Catra doesn’t, her safety net is Adora and Adora alone. Adora and her nice to look at, squirmy stomach inducing face. Her pretty face. Adora is pretty. Huh. Maybe that word would come in useful.
Catra's still the same mix of cute and deadly, safe and dangerous, but there’s just something else now. Something that mesmerizes. Something without a name. Something that draws the blood to her cheeks and the breath out of her lungs when Catra looks at her a certain way. Something that demands she stop in her tracks to just take her all in. And she just doesn’t know what it is.
Catra and Adora's journeys to finding words to their feelings. (Spoiler alert: they think the other one is very pretty.)Series

Summary
I’m allowed to miss what I had. I’m allowed to miss you. I’m not allowed to miss what could’ve been.
5 times Adora forgot Catra wasn't there anymore and the peace that comes with the realisation that she'll never have to feel that way again.

Summary
All it takes is a ragged, watery breath and Catra’s reaching out, still not touching, but reaching. And she goes willingly, easily, quickly into her arms. She knows how to do this - how to act around Catra. It’s nice after the day's events.

Summary
“Well a wife, or a husband, is when two people who are in love decide to dedicate themselves to each other for the rest of their lives, it's like a-”
“- Like a promise?”He smiles, “Yeah, it’s a promise to love each other forever. There’s a whole ceremony where it’s made official, letting everyone know that they’ve chosen each other.”
Catra smiles, it sounds nice. Sounds similar to a promise she and Adora had made so many years ago, but theirs held none of the permanence.Series of one shots about promises in their relationship. Almost all of it is from Catra's POV.

Paradise Is In Her Eyes by JazzKat1213
Fandoms: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018)

Summary
The metal sits warm in her hand when she speaks, “Hey, Catra, love?”
The pet name gets the response she wants because Catra’s ears immediately go soft as she turns her head and meets her eyes. “Yes?”
“I, um,” she’s barely a foot away from her now, Catra turns so they’re fully face to face. There’s such an open expression on her face it makes breathing suddenly rather hard. But she manages it, somehow. She holds out the pin saying, “Promise you’ll wear it?"Chapters 6 and 7 from Promises, Promises but told from Adora’s perspective. Can be read as a stand-alone if you want.

Summary
“Hey, we had something to ask you – a good thing, we hope,” Bow throws out onto the table at the end of dinner.
Even with the reassurance there’s still a small spike of anxiety. Catra clearly feels it too, so Adora puts an arm around her wife for both of them. Melog nuzzles at their legs beneath the table but it doesn't help much. Catra makes the go ahead motion and some sparkles flutter out from Glimmer’s cheeks as she smiles. (It’s been happening so much everyone’s used to it.)
“We were hoping that you would like to be the support-parents for our baby.”Glimmer and Bow are having their first kid and they want their Horde-raised, severely lacking in parenting skills, best friends to be there for them in a much bigger way than either Catra and Adora were expecting.
