Kyle and the Princesses of Power

(This is set if Queen Angella did not need to sacrifice herself at the end of S3 so she is still queen and Glimmer is her earlier self. So basically a canon divergence from S4).

After the other cadets find out Kyle gave Bow information that helped them escape and power makes Catra more and more cruel, his life goes from bad to worse. His act of optimism begins to crack and before a mission he decides that life truly is not worth living. Slipping away from the group he decides to do what he can to not have to deal with it any longer.

Found and taken in by the rebellion, Kyle has to deal with surviving and grappling with deciding whether or not to join. At the same time he has to cope with people's, especially Bow's, persistence in pretending to like him and being his friend.

Warnings for: Bullying, depression, self harm, suicide and self hatred. I promise it will not all be bleak. There will be happy moments for Kyle too!
