Summary
Because it turns out the Halo can want things now, sort of. Not the way a human would, with thoughts or motivation or articulable desires. The Halo wants things the way a tree wants water and shoves a taproot through flagstone to get it, which is all well and good for the tree, but less so for the idiot trying to keep her patio intact. Unfortunately for Ava, she’s both the idiot and the taproot. The flagstone is her dignity. The water – for reasons becoming rapidly and unavoidably apparent – is Beatrice.
or
the one where the halo imprints on beatrice like a duckling and is dead-set on making it ava’s problem

Summary
She starts forward and then stops herself with a jerk. Beatrice is an adult, Beatrice can handle herself, Beatrice could probably lay out everyone in this train car without displacing a single hair on her head, and Ava is the mess that dragged her out of her life. Beatrice doesn’t need Ava to save her, doesn’t need saving at all when it comes to a charming-looking hot guy with wavy hair and a good smile, but then he leans closer to Beatrice and Ava feels the halo flare in her back and stomps over, slings her arms around Beatrice, hooks her chin over her shoulder.

Summary
Glimmer is sick of watching Catra and Adora dance around each other at every Christmas get-together. Sick of being stuck between their flirty banter. Sick of watching them cuddle up like an old married couple while complaining about being single.
Obviously the next step is to buy a shit ton of mistletoe and hang them up in every corner of the palace.

Summary
Adora remembers the day she met Catra like it was yesterday. She remembers sharing her bunk with her best friend, and hiding out on the roof when life in the Fright Zone got to be too much. They did everything together - they survived together, and Adora remembers all of it.
Well, almost all of it...

Summary
“Okay, something is wrong.”
“Nothing’s wrong,” Catra declares with force, holding the two halves of Bow’s now shattered tracker pad, before standing to eye the trickle of fluid now staining her pants, “I just need one of you to find me another way to communicate with the Alliance and a change of clothes because I think my water just broke.”
Bow’s reaction as pure stress overcomes his entire being might’ve been hysterical if not for the growing stakes, “You’re what just broke? Are you telling me you’re in labor?”
“No Bow, I’ve just been having regular contractions for the last sixteen hours but I’m sure the midwife will think that’s completely normal- yes, I’m in labor, King Dumbass!”
~When a surge of magical energy disrupting multiple Etherian kingdoms calls for She-Ra on the front lines and Catra in the command center, the two are separated when Catra goes into labor.
A baby fic/character study that explores Adora and Catra’s separate and intertwined paths from daughter to mother.

Summary
Blake looks at her and swears she can see the particles of the universe settling, can see them laid out and miraculous like a map of fates for gods, can see the stars all spinning at her from underneath a sky that could very well be a dark, murky ocean. The truth is that it's been six years of too much fear and not enough skin. This is the anatomy of breaking down.
Date me, Yang says, which seems like a great idea at the time.

Summary
Hours pass, and Adora still can't sleep. She recalls when Lonnie told them about the tattoos, Adora had carefully watched Catra's expression, her heterochromatic eyes bored and uninterested. Adora hadn't felt that way, it didn't sound all bad. If they're real, she had thought, with flutters in her stomach, I want it to be you.
It's painful to think about. Even if she did have Catra's name on her wrist, she can't imagine that it would make a difference. Catra wouldn't join her before, and Adora's certain that she wouldn't join her now, tattoo or otherwise.

Summary
These are the things Kara knows about Andrea: she likes gaming almost as much as Kara does. Her favourite kind of pizza is anything that includes olives, but failing that, fresh mozzarella and basil from this place in Italy she once visited. She wears t-shirts and jeans like her body was the body that t-shirts and jeans were made for; Kara can't stop staring. She is - briefly, allegedly, and they only had 10 minutes to play so it barely counts - better than Kara at Zombie Apocalypse 5. Her first video game love is Mario Kart. She laughs at Kara's jokes.
Kara knows all of this and it's only been a few hours.

Day 4 - AU
Blake uses the tools in her hands skillfully, fingers nimble and quick as she easily slides the tumblers into place one after another, like she’s done a million times before. The steady clink, clink, clink, music to her ears.
“You have it yet?” Yang asks quietly, leaning casually against the wall, her staff tucked against the crook of her arm.
They’d only known each other for a little over a month, but one thing Blake quickly learned about Yang was that she’s comfortable anywhere. Even in the darkest parts of House Schnee, picking a lock to get up into the estate.

Summary
"Love does not consist only of gazing at each other, but in looking forward together in the same direction."
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna have never met, but they share a common problem; parents who are over eager for them to get married and settle down. They also have a looming sense of responsibility to their villages inherited by the nature of their last name. When Yang is set up on ANOTHER blind date by her father, this time with the daughter of two prominent Faunus Equity activists after they give a presentation in Patch, she humors him because it's not like she's dating anyone for real any time soon. She isn't expecting how easily she gets along with Blake, but eventually she recognizes a painful amount of herself in the other person.
Inspiration strikes one day; why not get married? It gets their parents off both their backs, and Blake a free ticket out of Kuo Kuana. Not to mention, free space to explore themself. What's the worst that could happen? Both of them come to learn that none of Yang's ideas are ever simple.
