    Summary

    Vi was expecting to have a Hallmark kind of Christmas. As the new, reluctant owner of the Last Drop, she needs to make this year count if she's going to afford college for her kid sister. Thankfully Zaun is an Appalachian mountain town made picture-perfect for wealthy tourists to spend their cash on snow-filled memories.

    That is, until Vi's criminal past catches up with her just in time for the holiday rush. Ghosts of Vi's past are here to collect, and her only hope is an off-duty cop with a taste for scotch.

    or

    Caitlyn just wants to do her job well. Years of having to prove herself as a skilled detective in her own right have made her exceptionally dedicated to her career and little else. But when her boss forces her to take mandatory medical leave after a drug bust gone wrong, she decides it's time to get some fresh mountain air and sample Zaun's tourist attractions. If a little R&R happens to bring her closer to the next lead on her case, well-- she is supposed to be enjoying herself, after all.

    This started out as a cutesy Christmas Hallmark AU in my mind and it's morphed into a distant cousin of Die Hard. Expect lots of cussing, Karaoke, romantic tropes, and cannon-level violence.

    Summary

    Hordak is dead, crushed under falling metal. Glimmer is gone, saved by Bow. And for one stupid, weak minute Catra thinks about joining them. She doesn’t, she stays. Sits upon a throne that she’s won but means nothing. The war is over isn’t it? Her forces are crushed and there’s nothing else for her to climb for power. All that’s left to do is fall.


    What if Hordak died and Horde Prime had waited a little longer before showing up? Or my flimsy excuse for Adora to see Catra at her worst as she has a breakdown on a throne and the subsequent fallout and falling back in. (Tags will update as we go)

    Summary

    It's not the first time they find themselves like this: Catra on the ground, Adora standing above her, the tip of her sword dangerously close to Catra’s throat. Catra thinks she prefers it when Adora kills her without hesitation. But lately, Adora’s been slower to strike her. Catra can't figure out why.

    "Why hesitate?" Catra asks. "I mean, you can't kill me. Not for good. What's stopping you, Adora?"

    Adora doesn't answer her, just stares at Catra with those piercingly beautiful eyes of hers, as if she looks hard enough, Catra will surrender.

    But Catra won't. She lost count of how many times they've killed each other a long time ago, and she's not going to go soft now, not after Dryl has held their ground against Eternia, not when they're this close to finally defeating the Eternians for good.
