Summary
"I think there's something wrong with me," Adora tells Bow. "It's like my brain forgets where I am. Or when I am."
Bow eases a bolt out of place. "We're all adjusting. George says battle fatigue can stay with you for a while."
"It's not about the war." Adora's wrench keeps slipping. "It's - from before that."

Summary
It wasn’t her fault. Her brain just told her to do these things. Scratch up the mattress and it’ll be a better nest, hiss at the cadet who hurt your friend to scare them off. Each time she let herself go, it felt so right, and yet she’d spent years being punished for it. Until now.

Summary
“This Friday is 420,” Catra announces, like she’s figured out some unsolvable puzzle. “You don’t have class or work. We’re gonna get you stoned and have the best high holiday ever.”
“Oh. That sounds absolutely terrible,” Adora reponds.
---
Adora's mostly sure that she's dating Catra. They see each other just about every day and have sex and go on dates. So yeah, probably dating.
She tries to suggest a fun idea that they can do together. Maybe smoke a little pot and hang out? Low maintenance, low risk. Like all plans involving Catra, this escalates then derails quickly. Hijinks and fluff ensue. Will Adora ever just have one nice day with her chaotic cat?

Summary
“You don’t have to be so scared of this, you know,” Bow started, voice low. Catra’s chest tightened, just a little. “Not the- Not the contact. I get why that makes you nervous, I do. I just mean … leaning on us a little. Letting us take care of you. Because we want to. I know that’s hard to accept, but we do.”
“I’m a fully functioning adult person,” Catra said, “I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”In which Catra learns that it's okay to be vulnerable, and that leaning on people isn't the worst thing in the world.

Summary
A collection of events spanning from Bonnie’s conception to her birth, and a few complications past it as the new human settlement arrives.
“We have a score to settle.” The two toned voice brushes past Bandit Princess' face in a hushed snarl. “Give me back myself,” he bites out next to her ear, knocking something loose in the back of her long forgotten memories of their first encounter.
She’s comprehended her circumstances now, obvious by the startled, terrified look on her face. Fern can smell the fear rolling off of her in waves, sickly sweet epinephrine curling its grass and sharpening its claws.
“Remember what I swore to you?”

Summary
She had people to care for, and people to make, and a brother to protect, and a so-called boyfriend she didn’t know what to do with. She left short hair and shaking knees behind for good, or so she’d thought. It had been rather stupid to think she could change anything, that if she molded pieces of her own matter into the right shape it’d love her. She and Neddy was all she ever needed and all she’d ever get, and she’d be grown up enough for both of them.

Summary
Shauna adjusts the damp shirt she has balled up against her breasts to cover herself a bit more fully, speaking a bit more gently when next she does. “Look, just— go back to bed, okay? I want to be alone, it’s— complicated, and it’s gross—”
Oh, Melissa thinks, because it’s starting to click, and they’d kind of learned about this in health class, and she can feel her whole body going hot at just the thought of it for some reason, and her mouth is moving before her brain again as she blurts out—
“Are you still lactating?”
“Melissa.”
And yeah, okay, she probably shouldn’t have said that. Fuck.
OR:
In the wake of a late night anxiety attack and on the brink of starvation in more ways than one, Melissa makes an offer that Shauna can’t refuse.

Summary
She’s trying. She’s trying.
But there’s this ache. Not loud. Just ever-present. A small splinter under the skin every hour. A person-shaped absence. The dip of the mattress under another body. A hand that isn’t her own between her thighs.
She thinks about Natalie more than she should. Less than she used to. Somewhere in that middle place that makes every time she strays feel like picking a scab.
They haven’t spoken in weeks. Months? Time has gone slippery again. Charlotte told herself that was a good thing. No contact meant boundaries. Strength. It meant she was moving on.
Natalie, after all, was never good for her. And God knows she had never been good for Natalie.
And yet, every time the buzzer rings, Charlotte still checks her reflection in the mirror.

Summary
Nat realises what she’s about to say a second before it comes out, a week’s worth of build-up tumbling out unbidden. “I think I want to try it. You know, with a girl. Just so I can stop fucking wondering. Just so I can finally know.”
Somehow that feels even more exposing than anything else she’s said so far. God. She wants to try it out. Did she really have to word it like that? Like something she can just try on for size and then put back on the rack if she doesn’t like it or it doesn’t fit right? She wonders if Lottie will tell her to fuck off, or grow up, or—
“I could do it.”
Nat blinks. “What?”
“If you want to try a girl,” Lottie says. “If you would rather try with someone you know rather than a total stranger, I’ll do it.”

“I was healing,” Lottie said. Something in her voice said broken. “For a long time, I thought I was healing.”
One step forward, two steps back, Nat thought.
“It's all right,” Nat said. “We all think we're healing, but we're just always fucked up anyway and then we die.”
