Summary
I fell heavily on the grass of the Whispering Woods. I muttered a tiny: -fuck- and I got up on my not-so-standing legs. Dammit, I told Catra to slow down! Before I could notice anything else, a strange, blinding light got my attention. It was brighter than everything I've ever seen before (even tho I lived in the Fright Zone, not the most illuminated place in the world). I looked at it with doubt. The light came out of a beautiful, mysterious sword, with a golden handle with a stone of aquamarine colour in it. Or was it blue? I don't know.
Then my gayass decided that heck yea I would touch that!
And I touched it.
And then I fainted on the ground.
___________________________________________________________________________
Or, random idea I had during summer 2024 that I'm only taking in hand in January 2025 that includes Lesbian Disasters™ Catra and Adora, a lot of fluff, short chapters (like, really short tho), and Adora and Catra overthrowing Hordak thanks to the power of the gay.
(Yes, it is a very ironic but at the same time profound fic, or at least I tried writing it like this) -
The Cat and The Sword by NeurodivergentCatra

Summary
This is going to be my longest, most in-depth fic yet. I really like reading stories where Catra is She-Ra instead of Adora, and I wanted to write my own. It's also going to have more mature themes and scenes and will be heavier in descriptions of violence than the actual show. It starts off following the events of the show, but will eventually diverge off into its own story.

Summary
A normal day in the life of Fright Zone's Reformed Horde's Lords.
A world were Adora stayed and helped Catra take Hordak and Weaver down, making Fright Zone and the Horde a place in which no one had to suffer like they did.
Would that be so much to ask? Too good to be true?Series

Summary
Adora finds the sword the first time she's in the whispering woods, and Adora returns safely with it to the Horde. On a related note, Shadow-Weaver has no need for Catra anymore, and her assassination attempt strands her in Rebellion custody, under the watchful eye of Queen Angella.
It goes pretty poorly for everyone involved after that.
CW: Non canon typical bloodshed, death. Darker world, exploration of propaganda, Shadow Weaver is a bitch. Canon typical abuse patterns. Shadow Weaver is a bitch. Self harming and self destructive behaviors. Self devaluation. Increasingly deviating from canon. Not a 1 for 1 canon rewrite.

Summary
Adora has almost everything she could possibly want.
Almost.
She defeated and overthrew Lord Hordak and Shadow Weaver long ago and took her rightful place as Horde Lord.
She was respected yet feared among everyone in all of the Freight Zone and Brightmoon.
And she was extremely close to winning a long lasting war against a certain princess rebellion and finally bring them all to there knees while she takes over Etheria and becomes it’s new ruler.
Yes she has everything she could possibly want.
Except for one thing. Just one more thing that would make her life complete.
Her.
She just needed her.
It was all she ever thought about anymore. Her hair. Her eyes. Her voice. Her body, god her body. Everything about this woman intoxicated her. Consumed her thoughts entirely. 24/7. Even in her dreams.
And yet the love of her life was wasting her time with a pathetic force captain who didn’t deserve her.
But not for long.
She will have Catra by her side once and for all.
No matter what she had to do to make that happen.

Summary
“And I will crush you if you ever rebel against me again.” Adora continued, “I will not allow this attitude to continue, you are my prisoner and so help me if you ever forget that I am the horde lord. Heavens forbid you ever use your tongue against me for it will be cut and I will do so myself. Heavens forbid if you ever use your claws to lash at me for I will declaw you myself. Heavens forbid if you even look at me the wrong way I will blind you so that you may no longer even see-”
And Catra sobbed, clutching the hand still firmly gripping her throat, praying wishing begging to be anywhere else but here, tears running hot on her cheeks, body heaving with every weep she gave, her eyes shut tight, her mind cracking."

Summary
Again, her gaze moved to the semi-unconscious figure of Catra. She was breathing in labored gasps, shivering. For the first time, she truly saw the Horde soldier as something different. A hurt child that had been forced into something she didn’t understand. A child soldier who had cuts, bruises, burns, all from being forced to fight.

Summary
Catra did it. She captured the princess of Bright Moon during the princesses' prom and Adora was forced to come to her rescue, but something went wrong. In the hands of the Horde, the old Weaver erased all her memories as She-Ra and now, without the magic the sword grants her, she must rebuild herself from scratch. But who is this new Adora? Has her heart retained the goodness and hope she once knew away from the Horde? Or will she give in to her old ambitions of conquest?
Love, violence or sex... only Catra will have known all Adora's faces and will have to make a choice: stay with the woman she loves or—for love—find a way to make her herself again.

Summary
Catra would do anything for Adora. Searching darkly magical forests for magical swords that probably didn't exist to protect Adora from herself was never a good plan. Just better than the alternative. But when Catra's plan goes awry, it costs her the woman she's always loved and everything else she's ever thought she wanted. Now a traitor and Adora's enemy, Catra has to navigate a bewildering new world and find the salvation and hope she's never had.

Summary
Adora had always had two priorities in life, Catra, and Justice. She promised the love of her life that she’d protect her from the world, just as she’d promised herself she’d save the world from the bad people. Bad people like Catra. Perhaps like Adora too.
---------------------
A slow burn Adora corruption arc story, in which everything she loves is taken from her except Catra. Over the course of many chapters of emotional torture, manipulation, lust and angst, she finally breaks and surrenders to the only good thing in her life, allows herself to be molded into a monster by the only person who ever loved her.

Summary
A small alteration, a few words different. Adora finds the Sword slightly earlier, and everything changes. Bow and Glimmer are too late, Adora stays with the Horde, but must still grapple with the slow realisation that they are not what she thought that they were. Without She-Ra on their side, Glimmer has to take up the mantle of hero in the Rebellion's darkest hour, and be the one to bring hope even when she finds all hopeless. As events butterfly, the story of She-Ra becomes quite different.

Summary
Lord Adora is victorious.
Hordak has been killed, Brightmoon conquered, Prime defeated, and even She-Ra subdued. There's now nothing left standing between Adora and mastery of the whole universe, nothing except her kitten and her humanity.
Everyone she's ever loved has used her, abused her, reduced her, but she won't let them in anymore. Lord Adora has a duty to honour, a destiny to fulfill, and she has to do so no matter the cost...

Summary
The world shifts. The balance is off. Roles are reversed, but it's dangerous.
Adora gazes down at Catra. Her eyes are unwavering, but pierce regardless.
Something was wrong. Something was very, very wrong.The Magicatra AU fic that no one asked for, but that I started writing anyways. Shout out to all the fanart and comics people drew of Horde Lord Adora, you're the ones to blame for this.

Summary
What if Catra convinced Adora to sleep off the visions of the sword, and Adora never went back out into the woods? Concurrent/similar canon to the show. A character study attempt, as Adora does not suddenly have different core values.

Summary
The magic of Etheria runs wild and deep. The aftershocks of millennia of the intervention of tyrants, saviors, and warriors ripple through reality itself. Sometimes they threaten the universe. Sometimes they make miracles. And sometimes they make . . . a mess.
~~~~~~~
“If Catra got the sword” Adora muttered. “The war would be over in like ten minutes. How are you—“ Desperate to find some solid ground again, Adora turned to the guests. “Evil Horde’s evil?” She asked. “We can all agree on that?”“Yep.” Agreed the Adora in a white jumpsuit and crisp blue jacket.
“Obviously,” seconded the Adora in black and gold Magicat garb.
“A necessary one,” the armored Adora conceded.
“I’ll do you one better,” The Adora with the bat and red varsity jacket asked. “What is the Horde?”
~~~~~~~
Adora and Catra get a taste of the multiverse and meet versions of themselves that made very different choices. Maybe they’ll learn something from their other selves. Or maybe the fabric of the universe will tear them apart. -
