Summary
Catra suddenly laughs, because what is she doing? She’s a closeted lesbian who hasn’t spoken to her family in years because of it, she’s struggling financially through grad school, she lives in a shitty apartment, and she’s just, essentially, offered to help a ghost figure out how to be a ghost.
But the hopeful look in Adora’s eyes is still there, and she’s wearing the first genuine smile Catra’s ever seen on her, and she’s almost blindsided by how beautiful Adora is.
So Catra nods and says, “yeah. I’ll help you figure it out,” because really, how hard can it be?
(Really, she has no idea what she’s getting herself into.)

Summary
'“I mean, school is fine,” Adora said, sitting up and looking between her aunts. Hope was folding laundry and Mara was waiting for Adora’s reply patiently, sipping on a mug of tea. “It’s just–there’s this girl.”
“Ooh, a girl,” Hope grinned, looking up from the laundry, “are you going to ask her out?”
“That’s the problem,” Adora sighed, “it’s like, whenever she’s near me, I forget how to function like a person. I bet she’s some kind of witch. She’s putting a spell on me for her own amusement.”'
Or, the five times Adora tries and fails at asking Catra out, and the one time she maybe succeeds.

Summary
“It’s not that funny!”
Adam clutches his sides, and Adora can practically see his diaphragm shaking. “Oh my gods, ‘Dor, it really, really is.”
The conversation had started out well enough. Adora had mentioned she was going to bring a girl to his wedding if he was okay with it. Adam had said of course it was okay, and then for some reason mentioned how proud he was of her for figuring herself out. Adora quickly clarified that she was not, in fact, gay, and that’s when the laughing had started.
-OR-
Adora loves her family. She really does. But they can be a little homophobic at times. So Adora comes up with the perfect plan: she's going to bring a woman to her brother's wedding. And who better than Catra, from her rugby team? After all, Catra is... basically perfect. If Adora were into women, it would totally make sense that she'd be into Catra. She's just an ally, obviously, but like... even Adora knows Catra would be a great girlfriend.
This prank is going to be perfect.

Summary
"Adora?"
"Yeah." She's honestly mostly thrilled Catra remembers her name without the context of the bar to help her remember. "What brings you to this ice cream shop?" She's hoping that maybe seeing each other in the light of day might give Adora a better chance at snagging a date or hangout with the brunette.
A shadow crosses her face. "I don't—"
"Mama!" The little voice is authoritative and relieved and a toddler makes their way to Catra, putting their hand in hers. Adora feels her eyes widen as she looks at Catra and the kid she assumes must be hers.
Catra sighs. "My kid wanted a treat after doing well at their doctor's appointment." She looks down and gives the child a small smile. "What flavor do you want?" Her voice is different, patient and soft, not at all the sultry rasp Adora imagines when she thinks of her.
"Strawberry." Adora bites her lip to keep from cooing at how the 'Rs' sounds like 'Ws'.
"A kid. That's um—that's cool." She'd never thought about children in more than a vague notion that could maybe be in her future.

Summary
Adora had never in her life been jealous of her twin. They were two halves of the same powerful person. They lifted each other up and carried the burdens of the other whenever they were too weak to stand alone. They had always done everything together, they had their own strengths and weaknesses, both on and off the field. They were a strong team, and they would always be.
Adora had never been jealous of Adam Grayskull until he started dating Catra. Adora, Adam and Catra had been friends since primary school, and he had every right to like her. She was smart, funny, and absolutely beautiful. Now, Adora could never tell Catra the truth about her feelings. She would never do that to Adam. But she would give anything for this not to be real.- Language:

Summary
“Seriously, Adora. All that money for, like, holding hands in front of a camera? It can’t get easier than that. You endured me for like, ten years? I’m sure you can power through these four weeks.” She gets up and leans on the back of her chair, getting closer to Adora’s face. “Just don’t fuck it up and we’ll be fine.”
Adora scowls at her and forces herself to not start another argument. Catra ignores it and turns away.
“See ya later, girlfriend.” She says over her shoulder.
Girlfriend. Adora shudders at that word.
Only after Catra is gone Adora remembers they didn’t even plan anything out. She closes her eyes and rubs her temples again, taking another deep breath. Four weeks of pretending to be Catra’s girlfriend. Those are about to be the longest weeks of her life.

Summary
Catra had imagined lots of scenarios for her first bus ride to school. Annoying people screaming on the seats around of her, getting kicked out by the bus driver for punching a random guy (wouldn’t be the first time), or whatever other torture school buses could provide.
She never imagined she’d be listening to Taylor Swift and sharing earphones with a complete stranger. A very cute stranger. And nothing felt weird or awkward., like if Adora and Catra had known each other for a long time already. Maybe the universe wasn’t so mean after all.
or
Catra likes to pretend she's too cool to have feelings.

Summary
“Look, can I ask you something? It’s your birthday so I don’t know if you’ve set any boundaries on hook-ups but…”
“Hooking up?” And then Adora just can’t stop, “Oh, no, I’m not hooking up. I mean. I have, but not now. Not, uh, a thing I do really. Um...yeah.”
Catra is kind enough to try to hold back her smile.
“Well, you just made this super awkward,” she breathes out. “I was gonna ask if your friend was single. You're hot and all. But every word out of your mouth has been a total bummer, not gonna lie.”
Adora has died and gone to lesbian hell. She always knew it would come to this.
__Adora Gray's life is on track, just the way she likes it – ever steady, no surprises. And then Catra Morgan crashes her birthday party and turns everything upside down by dating her best friend Glimmer and making Adora fall for her.
That's fine! Adora is not panicked at all, thank you very much. She has some detailed, multi-step plans to ignore her growing feelings and navigate this all. But Catra, and her past, have a pesky tendency of showing up and throwing everything for a loop.

Summary
Adora snorts, a very unbecoming sound for a deity such as herself. "You're joking." She raises a defiant eyebrow and starts unbuttoning her shirt. "I know what you really want."
Catra sinks deeper in her bed, her eyes on all the creamy skin that Adora slowly reveals. "Well, I would never say no to you, darling."
Adora’s eyes grow serious for a moment. "Just because we’re living in the same city now doesn't mean that we can just see each other all the time." She warns in that low stern voice she uses when she's at her most serious. "We can't get caught Catra."
Catra rolls her eyes. "We've been doing this for over a thousand years, Adora, I think it'll be fine." Adora purses her lips as if she wants to protest. Catra stands in front of the half-naked angel, removing her own shirt. She presses her finger to Adora’s lips, luxuriating in the softness there. "Do you want to argue about how frequently we can be together, or do you just want to be together?" She challenges.

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.

Summary
"I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with no shelter. I could lose a foot!" This is what happens when she tries to rent a cabin on a mountain peak and it gets snowed in. Suddenly, because of the unexpected snowfall and icy roads, everyone is looking for replacement cabins and all of them are booked before Adora can snag one.
"Adora that's a little dramatic. They said you could get a place in the next town over, right?" Bow placates, trying to be the voice of reason.
She runs a hand through her hair. “They said maybe I could. And they probably said that to every poor sucker who got snowed out of their cabin." She doesn't think there are any odds of getting a cabin within an hour of this town.
"Hold on, where are you exactly?" Glimmer asks, after the phone clatters. She sounds farther away like she's on speaker.
"I'm in Maine." She just wants to get away from it all, but this isn't what she had in mind.
"Oh! Do you know who's also there? Catra!"

Summary
"So you don't just press your students close and guide their hands like you were cast in Ghost?" Catra says teasingly, swaying ever closer to Adora.
Adora can't help but laugh at the notion. "You saw me teach, you know it doesn't work that way." She rolls her eyes. She then takes Catra's hand, slowly bringing her palm to touch the clay on the workbench. "But I'll tell you what. If we make our pottery lesson next week a date instead, I'm open to it." She teases.
Catra turns her hand so she's holding Adora's hand instead of the clay. "You don't have to try that hard to get a date Adora, but who am I to say no to an offer like that?"

Summary
Her eyes rove Catra like she's a Christmas miracle. Catra can't blame her because she does the same, trying to catalog any differences in her face, her voice, her body, anything that hints at what she's missed. Catra never asks first—never pushes—because she knows Adora would always give in. It has to be her choice. Adora's eyes lock on hers, fear and longing battling for dominance in her gaze.
"Are you...?" Adora's question trails off, the silence saying more than any words could.
Catra shakes her head softly. "And you?" Catra prompts, nervousness bubbling over in her stomach. Adora could be relieved but still unavailable, have a girlfriend or want different things that Catra could never provide."No, I'm not seeing anyone," Adora confirms, her gaze telling her everything else Catra wishes to know about them for the next week.
"See you tonight?" Catra offers. She knows she should probably settle in and sleep after her shitty flight but all she can think of is being in Adora's arms and her bed again.

Summary
There that six foot goddess is, standing by the line of the goal, the game had paused while Scorpia was off of the pitch, so she was standing still but signing with someone who was standing at the sidelines beside the goal. She lifts the hem of the bottom of her shirt, revealing toned abdominal muscles and smooth soft looking skin as she does so. She uses the fabric to wipe her brow of sweat, giving Catra a generous view of her abs and the grey sports bra she was wearing.
Catra’s breathing picks up so much she thinks she might die.
What I dubbed as COFFEE SHOP AU on Twitter but is also kind of a college AU :) (Adora is Deaf in this AU)
