Aftermath by Shockodile, SolarPoweredFlashlight
Fandoms: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018)

Summary
After Horde Prime is defeated, there's still much left to be resolved. What to do with all his abandoned clones? What punishment does Hordak deserve for his role in Etheria's suffering? How to restore the Fright Zone to Scorpia's family and what to do with all the indoctrinated soldiers still living there? What to do about the possibility of more magic-based worlds that were converted to weapons by the First Ones - or the possibility that Horde Prime was smart enough to make a backup of his consciousness? And the most important question of all - will Catra and Adora ever be allowed some alone time to explore their newly admitted love for one another?
COMPLETE as of 2020-09-10: Written as a sort of "Season Six", this story covers the post-war fallout, a long space adventure to find and destroy Prime's backup consciousness, a slow-burn exploration of what a Hordak redemption arc might look like, and lots and lots of Catra/Adora character study, hurt/comfort, fluff, and occasionally smut. There are some violent action scenes, but no character death.

Summary
When Catra, a bit overdue for a meal, takes a chance on a random blonde she doesn't expect the overpowering and utterly revolting sweetness to her blood. And after she walks away that night, unfed, she certainly doesn't expect to ever see the human again. Soon Catra will learn when it comes to Adora, nothing is ever quite what she expects it will be.

Summary
There are many ways to seize control of a human mind. Hate, envy, thwarted desire - all are powerful tools, and all have been wielded by Light Hope to great effect in the past.
But not this time. This time, Light Hope chooses differently.
(Alternate “Promise” fic with Adora!protag where instead of driving Catra and Adora apart, Light Hope…well. You’ll see 😉)

Summary
When Adora’s lifelong battle with anxiety tips from “manageable” to completely out of control, she winds up in the last place she ever expected; a mental health treatment center, smack dab in the middle of nowhere. And she’s far from the only client here in desperate need of assistance.

Summary
Nearly dead after a horrific battle, Catra and Adora find themselves in an uninhabited house in the Whispering Woods, with no choice but to stay there together and heal. They quickly realize, however, that the house is not all that it seems.
As time passes, Catra and Adora are forced to face the mysteries of the past, and worse—they have to face their feelings that were ignored for years.

So Not a Big Deal by Lost_in_the_mycelium

Summary
Adora is sick of Glimmer insisting that she has romantic feelings for Catra. Glimmer clearly just thinks that because she's in love with her best friend and refuses to tell him. So, Adora comes up with the perfect plan to solve both problems: they make a deal that Glimmer will confess how she feels to Bow if Adora asks Catra out. Sure, it will be a little embarrassing when Catra rejects her, but one day they'll all look back at this and laugh.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
The door opens and the scent of glitter hits the air. Hopefully the president of the local Neighborhood Association is just here for breakfast and not trying to get Catra to volunteer for some inane town activity again.
She looks up and feels her heart skid to a halt.
Glimmer isn't alone.
Glimmer isn't alone and Catra suddenly realizes that she didn't take off her unflattering apron or the stupid hairnet that covers her mane and ears. She's sweaty and probably has coconut flour on her face.
She is realizing all of these things because trailing behind the sparkly menace is Adora Grayskull.
In Brightmoon.
In Catra's bakery.
She considers fleeing but there are few people she would trust less alone in her place of business than Glimmer Queen. She'd probably come back to find the counters bedazzled or something.

Summary
After an embarrassing mishap that could jeopardize her position in her mother's company, Adora is put in charge of a Holiday tradition that brings her to the Northern Reach: a small town whose only claim to fame is their annual New Year's celebration.
It's the very same small town that Catra swore she'd never come back to after college. But, as always, the world has it out for her and now she needs to come up with a new plan. One that involves burying her heart and never getting burned again.
If only it were that easy.

Summary
“Just for the record, Melog… if you get me eaten by a wolf, I’m haunting you,” Catra says under her breath as she pulls the screen door open. Melog has historically been an excellent judge of character, for both people and animals, but Catra is still understandably nervous. The wolf, however, simply trots into the waiting room and sits down in the center, looking at her expectantly.
She sighs as she notices a gash on its shoulder, blood threatening to drip onto the floor. Rolling her eyes, Catra jerks her head towards the back of the office. “C’mon. If you’re gonna come all the way here, might as well fix you up,” she says, leading the way.
-OR-
Glimmer, lying asshole that she is, told Catra she found an injured dog. She did not, in fact, find an injured dog. Werewolf Adora/Veterinarian Catra, because why not?

Summary
But most importantly, there was a topless woman standing in the center of her room, wearing only tiny black boyshorts.
A very familiar topless woman.
Adora felt like an absolute idiot. She’d only spent hours arguing against that voice, taking notes and studying the types of positions she was prone to taking. Trying not to get lost in those hypnotic mismatched blue and gold eyes or that knowing smirk and stumble over her words.
“Catra?!” she said, trying and failing not to sound too surprised.
Catra laughed easily. “You know, literally three people hit on me last night by telling me how unique looking I was and you’ve forgotten who I am twice! It’s humbling, at least.”
Adora wakes up on Christmas with a hangover and a stranger. Well, not a stranger, really. Just her high school crush who she hasn't seen in forever. Eager to get more time with Catra, the two find themselves going on adventures around the city and maybe stumbling into a little Christmas magic.

Summary
“Could I get your number?” they ask, as if they’re not still a completely faceless enigma that’s been making one-sided passes for two weeks now.
“So I’m supposed to exchange messages with someone who I wouldn’t even be able to pick out of a police lineup if this ends up being just a long con to get me to join a cult?”
To her shock, they place an elbow on the bar, lean over, and lower the hood.
“Does this increase my chances?” they ask with a goofy smile.
They're cute. Like 90s teen drama cute. Like Catra could see them singing fucking annoying pop songs outside her window cute. That’s not good. This person is absolutely trouble.
“Fuck,” Catra breathes out. It kinda feels like someone just kicked her right in the gut in a thrilling way. “You couldn’t have the decency to make this easier by being ugly?”
Catra finally meets the woman of her dreams/nightmares, a goofball blonde with big captain save-a-ho energy. She's easy going, gets Catra's jokes, and likes her band, even though it's pretty shitty and Catra's sabotaging them from the inside. It's just a shame that the girl is already competing on a reality show for 20 women's hearts.

Summary
Adora lagged a few steps behind Catra, wanting to appreciate the time they had together. Something in the way she moved was like a work of art: the way her hips swayed gently as she walked, the slight tilt to her head as she scanned the paintings, how her fingers absentmindedly ran through her messy short hair.
Despite working in the museum for a year and a half, Adora had never considered herself qualified to appreciate art.
Maybe being around Catra was changing that.

Summary
Catra clenches her fists. She won’t let it happen. She won’t endanger their future. “We can’t change anything. We’ll just have to wait, and do everything the same way we did before.”
Adora grabs Catra’s shoulders. Her grip is so tight, it’s nearly painful. “But do you realize what that means for us? Playing along. Letting things go the exact same way as before–”
Catra’s expression darkens. “I know,” she says, struggling to keep her voice from trembling. “You’ll have to leave. We’ll have to be enemies again.”
***
Years after defeating Horde Prime, Catra and Adora inexplicably wake up in the past—on the day that Adora first found the sword. If they're going to make it back to the present, they'll have to relive their past from start to finish, pretending to be enemies despite being in love. Despite being married. Despite knowing exactly how the story ends.But it's not easy, waging war against the person you love most.

Summary
“What?” Adora’s progressed to full on visible disgust now. There is no way in hell that’s true, and even if it is, there’s no way in hell she’s just going to roll over and surrender for an estranged sister and her complete stranger of a fiancé.
“They left it to both of us, yeah, until one of us marries. At which point, Bright Moon is to be led by the sister in that family unit, to someday be passed on to their children in the same fashion,” Glimmer says.
It’s Adora’s turn to take a moment to absorb.
If that does happen to be true, it’s the most ridiculous, bullshit of a deal she’s ever heard.
She’ll have to have their lawyers confirm first thing in the morning, but for now, the edges of her vision begin to seethe red.
~
Adora and her best friend slash business partner, Catra, attempt to fake an engagement in order to claim rightful ownership of the successful tech company they’ve been running for the past five years in Glimmer's absence.

Summary
As a consequence for losing Shadow Weaver, Catra receives her punishment: an exclusive, one-way trip to Beast Island.
Beast Island is as dangerous as the legends say, but there's something hidden underneath the horrors of the island above. Something . . . that may just reveal secrets about herself that Catra didn't know existed.
Who are the Magicats? Why do the Queens trust her so much? And why does Catra feel an intrinsic draw to the caves of Half Moon?

War is upon Etheria.
The Horde's expansionism has reached the borders of Brightmoon, and a fierce conflict unfolds, which will spread like wildfire to the entire world, at the hands of two girls, Adora and Catra. One a tactical savant, the other a strategic genius.
Here, people are broken, and nations fall, and in the end, perhaps the world itself will succumb. Perhaps love will conquer all.
