You just recently made it through freshman year.
It's now Sophomore year here at Brightmoon Academy.
Everyday was a living hell for you.
Bad parents, kids who never quit their bickering, all the worst you could really deal with at a high school. It couldn't get any more predictable.
But when the new kid comes in, Adora Grayskull, as a transfer student, you are thrown for a loop, as she seems to almost gravitate to wherever you go.
As time goes on, you come out of your shell. You grow fond of her. And, soon, that affection will grow into something more...
And you aren't the only one who shares those feelings.
Through hardships and pain, you and Adora will be brutally put to the test as your final years of high school approach.
Along with an old friend of hers that loves to stir trouble.
What will happen?
And what lies in store for you?
Will you survive?

Is It Worth It? - Silver (OC) x Catradora{She-ra Behind the scenes}
this is a OC x Catradora fanfiction, meaning it has polyamory (temporarily or not) if you aren't into that well you're missing out on the fun. I shall be doing it in the way the series has, so most of it is behind the scenes, stuff. I'm serious it's pretty awesome i'll be including my own art into it as well. Also any misunderstandings or miscommunication is purposely written, and is resolved, I wrote it in a specific way. Don't come for me if you don't like something, it might be explained later on in another chapter. Rankings #1 - SHE-RA #2 - Spop #3 - Catraxoc I do really apologize if the chapters all go out of order, they keep rearranging on their own...Complete

The Dark Side of Bright Moon (Catradora)
Catradora high school AU. Really nothing else to say, except Catra isn't a damsel in distress 24/7. If you want a normal bad ass Catra and a loveable himbo Dork Adora, just read it. ----------------- Heads up, there is cursing in this. I really didn't think about it, so just a heads up 👉👈 I never found a Catradora fanfic I liked, so I'm writing my own. I find a lot of them too rushed and forced, so I'll try not to do that, but I'm not the best writer. If you guys have question of complaints or suggestions I am totally open to hearing them. I want to improve my writing for my some classes, so this is kinda an experiment. I haven't written much fiction, so it may be a little robotic. I Hope you guys like and don't find it too boring ❤❤ I'd say there is an update schedule, but I'd be lying. I'm really spread thin with summer school and all my practices, so I'll upload when and if I feel like it. 1 IN CATRADORA 1 in SheRa 1 in She-Ra 2 IN spop 1 in dumb 🔥 1 in she 💁 20 In High school AU 14 in Catra 54 in Adora 15 in high 19 in Modern AU 193 in lesbian (out of like 60,000+ tho)Complete

The Brightmoon Institution (Catradora Boarding School AU)
Adora called out across the ice, feeling as if she was floating on air. It was a strange sense of euphoria, the wind biting her skin and the vast sea of stars above her. It almost felt surreal. What made it even more unbelievable was the girl in front of her, chuckling as she watched Adora trip over herself slightly as she realized the weight of this experience. -------- A socially isolated girl leaves the comfort of an abusive mother to meet a world of richness, both metaphorically and literally. Though Adora is undoubtedly intelligent, her confinement in Shadow Weaver's home prevents her from fulfilling her 'lifelong pursuit.' After eleven years of carefully monitored studies, Adora leaves to attend the Brightmoon Institution, an academy founded to educate the brightest minds. There she makes friends....as well as enemies. Cue Catra. A forgotten ally from a forgotten place, a reawakened memory in Adora's mind. Most characters are created and owned by the creator and writers of SPOP, I'm merely presenting my interpretation of them. *Cover Art is from Pinterest (I was unable to find the original source). If you know who the artist is, please let me know so I can give credit :)* STORY IS COMPLETE !!!Complete
