    Summary

    Catra stared at the beige door before her, trembling hand hovering over its surface. The door was ajar, and tempered voices could be heard from beyond, but she couldn’t bring herself to push through.

    All she could do was stare without seeing, try to calm her pounding heart, and wonder how she let this happen. They’d made a promise to one another as kids that they’d always stick together, that they’d always look out for one another.

    'How did I let this happen?'

     

    or: when Adora is injured during a game, she and Catra are forced come to terms with their feelings for one another that they've held back all their lives

    Summary

    Adora doesn’t know she and Catra ever broke up. Catra doesn’t believe Adora is ever coming back.

    When Adora left Catra in their tiny town of Thaymor to play volleyball at the University of Bright Moon she made a promise. When Catra watched her drive away with nothing but false hope to keep her warm, she let Adora go. Now it’s 8 years later. Adora’s an Olympic gold medalist, ready to keep her promise, and Catra’s a high school music teacher, desperate for a peaceful winter break. But some promises are harder to keep than others, and peace on earth does not mean peace for you.

    Summary

    “Catra, wake up,” Adora croaks, wincing as a cough sends a jolt of pain through her ribs. She sits up, slowly guiding Catra up with her as she opens her eyes.
    “Holy shit,” Catra mumbles, “I was sure we were all gonna die.”
    “Glad you kept that to yourself.”
    --
    OR, when their plane crashes on a desert island, Catra, Adora and the crew try their best to survive until rescue.

    Summary

    Catra has yet to pick up her jaw from the footwell, but stomps on the gas nonetheless, narrowly missing some minivan as she pulls onto the street. It takes at least a minute for Catra’s brain to reboot and realise what is happening. Adora is in her car. On her wedding day. Driving away from her wedding. Adora is a runaway bride.
    “Holy shit, you’re a runaway bride,” Catra says when she regains the ability to speak.
    “I just left my wedding,” Adora says, the implications suddenly dawning on her. “I just left my wedding! Why did I do that!”
    ---
    It's the day of Adora's wedding. To someone who isn't Catra. Catra (obviously) is fine and deals with this in a totally healthy and normal way.

    Summary

    Adora likes to read soulmate books. The more tortured and star-crossed and dramatic, the better. Sometimes Catra wonders if Adora feels like she missed out. They don't have an epic romantic story—they just grew up together. How is Catra supposed to compete with some fairytale heroine fighting through a magical war or alien invasion to save the person she loves?

    She covers her insecurity by teasing Adora mercilessly about her reading choices.

    “Good book, princess?” she asks, smirking.

    Adora rolls her eyes. “There aren't even any princesses in this one.”

    “If there are no pretty blonde royals traipsing around, how are you supposed to self-insert?” Catra teases.

    Adora looks up at her with an expression that is entirely too smug. “Did you just call me pretty?”

    Catra pauses, meeting her eyes. “Yep.” The confidence slips a little from Adora's face as she starts to blush. “You're pretty...stupid. And so is that fairytale crap.”


    Soulmate/soulmark AU where Catradora grow up knowing they're soulmates, but Catra still manages to think that Adora doesn't want her.
