pairing: catra/adora

chapters: 1/1

word count: 10,541

summary: ‘Catra looks at her, beautiful blue and yellow eyes bearing right into Adora’s soul. Her tail moves and curls around Adora’s waist, and her ears are folded back shyly when she nods. “Yeah. I think forever sounds nice with you.”

Adora realises, up on that ledge when she’s six years old, that there’s nobody else she’d want to spend forever with.’

Or, five times Adora realises she’s always loved Catra and the one time she realises that Catra has always loved her too.

Like a shark

This is the third time Lena has said she will come over for movie night straight of work. And Kara knows what that means: Lena will be wearing uncomfortable clothes. A pencil skirt or pretty dress, a blouse with buttons, high heels and no socks.

But Kara will no longer stand for it. If Lena doesn’t have comfortable for herself, Kara will make sure she has them for her.

So, when Lena once again texts she will be a little later because work is running late, Kara is prepared. She orders them pizza, because Lena said she wouldn’t go home so it won’t be too late when she arrives at Kara’s and Kara knows that means Lena will have forgone dinner. Next, she dives in her closet and gets out the garments she is looking for. She lays them on the bed and contemplates for a second. Then decides she will put on her own right now instead of wait for Lena. Comfortability above all.

Kara changes into her penguin onesie and slips on a pair of fluffy socks so her feet won’t get cold.  She leaves the onesie she bought for Lena on the bed. Then, she moves back to the kitchen and gets out plates and glasses. She fills the glasses with a nice (non-alcoholic) concoction Alex once taught her to make. It looks really fancy with some ice cubes, a colourful paper straw and some mint leaves.

The pizza beats Lena to her apartment. But only by a few minutes.

When Lena finally arrives, Kara enthusiastically opens the door. It has been a while since they have seen each other for longer than a quick pass in a hallway or some CatCo meeting. Kara opens the door and lets Lena in, suppressing the urge to immediately wrap her in a hug and pull her over the threshold.

Kara was right. Lena is wearing uncomfortable clothes. They are pretty. But they are not suitable for a movie night slouching on the couch, eating pizza and ice cream. A mischievous smirk appears on Kara’s face as she thinks about the onesie she has waiting for Lena.

“What are you looking at?” Lena asks with a laugh when she notices Kara staring at her. “What’s with that look on your face? What did you do?”

“Nothing,” Kara answers innocently.

Lena squints her eyes at Kara, scrutinising her. Oh, she definitely knows Kara did something. But Kara doesn’t have the self-restraint or patience to let her wonder for much longer. She grabs Lena hands and excitedly pulls her through the living room and to her bedroom.

“I got you something!”

“You got me something?” Lena asks, clearly surprised.

“Tadaa!” Kara steps aside with flair and gestures at the onesie.

It takes a short moment for Lena to understand what the fuzzy grey fabric is and then she bursts into laughter.

Lena shakes her head but can’t keep her laughing at bay. “You got me a onesie?”

“Yes. For movie night. So you don’t have to wear… that.” Kara gestures at Lena’s clothing as if they are offending.

A small, honest smile appears on Lena’s lips.

“Thank you.” Lena pulls Kara in for a hug.

They hold each other for a long while. Kara can tell it is not just a hug to say thank you for the onesie. It is one to say thank you for being Lena’s friend. And to make up for how little they were able to see each other lately due to Lena’s crazy schedule.

“You’re welcome,” Kara whispers in Lena’s ear.

“What is it?” Lena asks when they pull back from the hug. She walks over to the onesie and lifts the hood to get a better look.

“A shark.”

“You think I’m a shark?” Lena asks. Her voice is kept perfectly neutral and Kara can’t tell whether she’s curious or offended.

“Yes. Sharks are also misunderstood. People are angry at them a lot and say they are killers and are bad but they aren’t and they don’t even kill that many people. Cows kill more people. But people only make comments about how cute they are and that they want to cuddle them. So, you’re a little bit like a shark like that.”

Lena nods in understand, her eyes shimmering a bit from emotion. “Well, I better get changed then.”

mmmm, let’s see...

anachronism by @catra-adoras (complete). Time travel shenanigans (mayhaps?), portal shenanigans, angst, it’s all the good stuff lol.**

The Lighthouse by @ecrooked24 (in-progress). Tragic backstories, Adora is kind of a lonely hermit in a lighthouse, Catra is a mess. (trigger warnings for violence, past child abuse, past drug use, addiction.)

and I'm furious (that I still have your back while you're staggering away from me) by riptheh (in-progress.) AU about what would have happened if Catra didn’t go back to the Heart of Etheria. Angst. Just. Angst. Season Five AU ending, obvs.

You Came Back (For Me?) by genVicron (in-progress.) Catra goes with Adora to Bright Moon in season one acting as a spy for the Horde. Obviously that gets complicated fast.

Taking Back a Little Control by Reilith (one-shot.) Post Save the Cat, which I am an absolute SUCKER for.

Glowing in the Dark by themoonsneverseenmebefore (complete.) The friends in high school who stopped being friends for Reasons and reunite in college AU. Featuring Feelings and Mara as Adora’s loving mother.

Nesting by project_azrael (complete.) Pregnant Catra fic. Listen I am SOFT for pregnant Catra, I can’t help it**

**Includes smut or sexual comments, which aren’t generally my thing, but hey, who am I to pass up a good story

This isn’t necessarily a comprehensive list of good things I’ve read, but they’re definitely ones I revisit every now and again when I need a certain fix lol

Hello! Where can I find this soulmate fic you just talked about? I'm a sucker for soulmate fics. Just like, lead me towards all your fics and I'll read them all!

Aw, thank you! If you’re looking for my soulmate fic, here she is: just give me a sign. It’s short and sweet because it was just an ask prompt I did on here, but people really seem to like it, so... and I AM considering writing a little sequel to it. 

Aaaaaaand here’s a link to my ao3. 

All my She-Ra fics are there, which isn’t a lot yet, but I’ve been told they’re pretty good. If I had to pick one as a must-read, I’d pick my heart is with you hiding - it’s a post-apocalyptic au (which some peeps are intimidated by, but I swear it’s good and has made a lot of readers say: “wow, I usually don’t like post-apoc stories but this is for sure an exception”). This fic is my heart and soul and I’m dying for more readers. It’s criminally underrated. And I can say that because I’ve got commenters in my corner who agree haha. 

So, yeah. Thanks again and happy reading! (and please take the time to comment if you can - it’s great motivation for me to keep putting out content like this).
