[Glitradora SPOP AU]

A swap AU with glitradora as the romantic focus. After their first ever mission Catra is left feeling ill about the way the horde treated the innocent people of Etheria. On a walk to gather her thoughts she comes across an odd ring in a box half buried in the dirt, around the same time a scouting party for the leader of the rebellion does the same.

Catra and Adora grow up together in the horde, with Adora and Glimmer both willing to step in the line of fire to protect Catra from Shadow Weavers abuse.

Glimmer also grew up in the horde, when the King and Queen were exiled to Beast Island and presumed dead.

The Horde occupied Brightmoon for almost two decades before a rebellion within its borders was able to recapture the kingdom and install a temporary rebel leader to help fight back against the horde until a new royal lineage could be chosen.
