    Summary

    Catra would do anything for Adora. Searching darkly magical forests for magical swords that probably didn't exist to protect Adora from herself was never a good plan. Just better than the alternative. But when Catra's plan goes awry, it costs her the woman she's always loved and everything else she's ever thought she wanted. Now a traitor and Adora's enemy, Catra has to navigate a bewildering new world and find the salvation and hope she's never had.

    Summary

    A small alteration, a few words different. Adora finds the Sword slightly earlier, and everything changes. Bow and Glimmer are too late, Adora stays with the Horde, but must still grapple with the slow realisation that they are not what she thought that they were. Without She-Ra on their side, Glimmer has to take up the mantle of hero in the Rebellion's darkest hour, and be the one to bring hope even when she finds all hopeless. As events butterfly, the story of She-Ra becomes quite different.

    Summary

    The birds chirp along to the diner door opening, and Catra stares as Adora walks toward her beaten up Volvo, unlocking the door before turning toward Catra.

    She looks at her for what seems like an eternity but is probably just mere seconds.

    Catra allows herself to smile, her teeth chattering from the cold morning air.

    It seems cruel, the fact Adora has grown up while Catra has stayed the same, with the same childish mentality that tells her to run up to her and beg her to stay.

    She doesn’t.

    -

    Three years after running away from her hometown, Catra reunites with the only thing that made her want to stay, Adora Gray.

    Summary

    Catra crashed and burned so hard in high school she’s pretty sure her old friends think she’s dead from how much of a ghost she is online and she’d like to keep it that way. Cybersecurity is only her day job, and though she convinced Entrapta that they should minimize the law-breaking to avoid getting caught, after Entrapta taught her everything she knew, Catra also started feeling the pull to commit those little breaches online that are technically felonies, but people should design their sites better if they want to keep her out.
    At least, that’s how she feels until she sees something she shouldn’t have and she’s forced back in connection with the high school “friend” she wants to see the least. She’s happy with Entrapta. She doesn’t need settled down straight girls and malicious hackers ruining her new life, but she can’t leave Adora vulnerable either when she’s so close to the scene of the crime with a kid in the picture that Catra has to make sure is safe. If the Feds ever do catch her, this should count towards community service.
