she-ra headcannons, one shots and more

she ra x reader

i heard catra seconds before her claws made contact with my body. i heard her mocking me, making fun of me. she was so loud. why didn't i hear her sooner?

i barely made it out of the battle, scratch marks tore up my arm and blood poured out of them. i probably needed help, but everyone was so busy fighting and i was just beginning to learn how to connect to my runestone. 

i wish i could have an easier runestone, like perfuma does. one that creates life and happiness instead of destruction. but i don't and i can't control my powers, so i'm useless in battle. they won't miss me.

i found myself in the woods, alone. i ripped some material off my shirt and wound it around the scratch marks. it would help, but it wouldn't be enough. i decided to explore this small area of the forest, i needed to get away from the battle. i headed towards a small hill, hoping to find some herbs i could take back for dinner. 

"burdock.. clovers.. dandelion! glimmer wanted this for the soup," i say to nobody in particular.

"she did?"

i hear a reply but i don't recognise the voice, "who's there?"

"i'm madame razz dearie. i'm a friend of mara and adora."

i follow the voice to a small person, she looks quite old. she has pale pink skin and long white hair. she wears these weird goggles.

"how do you know adora?"

"i've known her for a long time, longer than you. and mara- she comes here and talks about you y/n."

"mara? who's that?" i ask.

"blonde hair, always in a ponytail. blue eyes. she wears a red puffer jacket, never takes it off." madame razz looks at me, her mouth in a faint smile.

"oh! thats adora. what does she say about me?"

"so much. i just want to bake pies with mara but she natters on about you. she really likes you and thinks you're really sweet. i say, if you're that sweet we should just put you in a pie," she chuckles at the thought.

she waves her broom at me and then moves along, trailed by moths. i follow her to the other side of the hill, where there is a small house. we go inside and she pulls a pie out of the oven.

"mara helped bake this," she says.

she gives me instructions for how to put the sugar on top, and i follow them. i can't help but think about how adora talks about me. i move my arm up to put the sugar away and it starts hurting lots.

"ow.."

"what's wrong dearie?"

"just these scratches. i'll be fine soon but i have to go."

"first take this dandelion, you wanted some earlier," she says and she smiles at me.

i thank her and leave, hoping the battle is over. it isn't. i make my way over to she-ra, who is engaged in battle with a wave of horde bots. i stick my arms out and pray that this goes well, then i shoot fire out of my hands. 7 bots collapse to the floor. she-ra nods, and then i head over to help some of the others.

once i have defeated about 20 bots, the horde starts to see me as a threat. instead of sending more bots, they send catra to fight me. they know i wouldn't hurt her. i don't use my powers, but we fight with our fists. she sees my bandaged arm and targets it. she eventually gets her claws at the bandage and i collapse with the pain. 

she ra notices and runs over to me. catra is scared off. she ra pulls me closer. the horde leave, satisfied. everyone comes over to me and she ra. they're happy at first and then they see the blood.

everyone is unfamiliar with someone getting injured, they normally win. they normally have no casualties. then again, they normally don't have me.

"y/n are you okay?" perfuma asks.

everyone looks so worried. i can't do this, just lying there on the floor in so much pain. i don't want to upset them and i guess i miss being a guard in brightmoon castle. i miss not having a connection to a runestone. they expect so much of me which isn't fair. i'm new to this.

"i'm okay. catra got me twice, but it shouldn't hurt as much now that she ra has figured out her healing powers," i try to be positive.

bow, glimmer and she ra shuffle awkwardly.

"the thing is.." glimmer starts.

"that was a fluke," bow finishes.

i sigh, knowing that my recovery will take longer than once hoped.

"my healing powers rely on me being in a state of total relaxation. something that hasn't happened in a while," she ra says, "we'll get the best doctors to heal you, we need you in the battle."

"that's okay," i reply, "i'm happy just lying here for a while. but its weird with you all watching me."

spinerella understands, "lets give her space. everyone go away. we won this battle, now lets prepare a new strategy."

everyone leaves. she ra stands up.

"everyone was right to go except you, you can stay," i tell she ra, "madame razz says that you talk about me a lot. can never shut up apparently."

"yeah well maybe some of us actually really like you."

i smirk, "does she ra have a crush?"

her head whips around, "no! i do not!"

"its okay, i have a crush on you too."

"oh."

she comes closer to me and lays my head in her lap. i shiver at the touch. it makes me realise how much i miss having someone be so affectionate towards me. we lay like that for a while, and even though neither of us says anything, we are at peace with each other.
