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.
