**AUTHOR'S NOTE: THIS STORY CONTAINS MATURE SUBJECT MATTER THAT SOME READERS MAY FIND DISTURBING. Please read the content warnings for each chapter before reading. Reader discretion is advised.** Adora and her best friend Catra have been working for the notorious Horde gang for as long as they can remember. Picking pockets for a living may not be a great way to grow up, but it's better than living on the streets without protection. But when she's promoted to Force Captain and becomes a full-fledged member of the gang, Adora realizes the Horde is far worse than she ever could have imagined. If she wants to escape this dangerous world of crime, Adora will need to work with a group of vigilantes to bring down the Horde and expose the corruption within Etheria's police force. But when Catra chooses to stay with the gang, Adora must figure out if she can serve the greater good while protecting the people she loves, or risk losing it all.

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... *** This story is a prolgue to the show She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and explores the possibilities of Adora and Catra's relationship in a series of loosely connected vignettes. *** Content warnings: emotional and physical abuse; violence and blood; non-explicit, off-page sex *** Cover art and design by Maggie Derrick

"She was afraid in the end... and she suffered." With Glimmer gone, Catra is left stranded on Horde Prime's ship. Forsaken and friendless, she is resigned to accept whatever fate Prime has planned for her, as long as it will keep Adora safe. After all, in the war for Etheria, she knows she doesn't matter. Unfortunately for her, Prime knows that not to be true. But if he wants to lure She-Ra out into the open, he'll first need to bring Catra into the light. This brief story covers events between the episodes "Corridors" and "Save The Cat" from season 5 of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. UPDATES: Sporadically *CONTENT WARNINGS*: Though not necessarily explicit, this story will include scenes of assault, mental and physical torture, including electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and non-consensual medical procedures, which may be triggering to survivors of certain therapies or practices (i.e. conversion therapy, cult or religious practices, etc.).

A terrible decision earns Catra an even worse punishment. Left to suffer the consequences, Catra finds herself facing one burning question: do you get to have a happy ending when you're the bad guy? AUTHOR'S NOTE: In universe, this story would take place somewhere between episodes 5 & 6 of season 2. Though there are some romantic elements, this story is meant to be a character piece on Catra, NOT A SHIPPING FIC. Please don't come for me if you don't like how things shake out for your particular OTP 😅 CONTENT WARNINGS: physical abuse mention, emotional abuse/manipulation, trauma recovery, blood, bullying, violence, strong language, mild sexual content (no explicit sex on page)

Adora knows this needs to end - knows the twisted, toxic thing between her and Catra can't go on forever. The only question now is whether she's strong enough to end it. *** An angsty Catradora one-shot.
