    Summary

    They can’t pretend they were expecting anything else. It was the actual Goddess of the Ever After, Mother of the Two Brothers, who straight up told them “Not where, but when.” Of course they wound up 10 years in the past.

    The real question is, what can five heroes stuck in the past do to save the world? As it turns out, a whole lot! All they need is a plan…and Ruby’s got a hell of an idea.

    Summary

    "You look out for me, and I look out for you. Nothing really bad can happen as long as we have each other"

    As Adora looks out from the highest point in Brightmoon Castle, she doesn't see the sunlight glinting off of the ocean waves. She doesn't hear the chattering of the citizens below her going about their day. All she can sense are the ghosts of her past, and the whisper of a promise long broken.

    Force Commander Catra, the greatest military leader the Horde has seen in decades, the architect of a dozen campaigns of conquest, is dead. The Princess Alliance, more importantly She-Ra, has to decide how to react to this development in their war. On one hand, the Horde just lost what may have been their greatest asset, the person almost solely responsible for their rapid advance across the continent. On the other hand, Adora is faced with her reopened wounds, and the prospect of a future without her former best friend.

    She would never let herself dream that halfway across the continent that same Magicat is waking up to a new future of her own. A struggle for survival, and a journey to find some kind of peace with who she is and what she's done.

    Summary

    This is a sister story (pun intended) to The Owl House that follows Vee's adventures in the human realm. It explores what it's like for Vee to come to a new world with entirely new rules and have to learn it all from scratch. As well as dealing with her past, what it made her and who she is now. It is meant to run concurrently to the show proper and I have done my best to keep it within the canon.

    This is the second time I've tried writing fanfiction (the first was awful and will never again see the light of day) and by far the longest thing I've ever written. I've never needed chapters before. As such I welcome critique and corrections. If you see something, say something. The comments so far have been a great help to improving my writing and I've enjoyed reading every one.

    Lastly, I'm now on day 556 of Duolingo Spanish, and if my Google translate skills aren't up to snuff let me know. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy.

    Takes place ~after chapter 68

  9. Rec *

    Summary

    Determined to make Adora into her perfect weapon, Shadow Weaver banishes Catra from the Horde and manipulates Adora onto a dark path of pain, fear, and hopeless devotion to nameless causes.

    Sent back to a people she doesn't know, Catra must discover her stolen heritage and take her rightful place in the hidden kingdom of Halfmoon, defying a lifetime of failure to become a leader - and reshape the future of her people.

    Trained by an enigmatic prisoner who might know the secrets of her past, Adora must endure the terrible future Shadow Weaver has planned and reshape herself into a champion for all of Etheria - and beyond.

    But when Shadow Weaver's impatience and range change Adora forever, she escapes to the rebellion and faces war against the Horde that that raised her in hopes of saving the world.

    They must both defy destiny and embrace the promises of forgotten magic and childhood dreams to forge their paths back to each other.

    May your friends and your magic always stand between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.

    - A paraphrase of the late, great Harlan Ellison.

    “They’re calling it Restoration Day,” Glimmer says, clasping her hands together, “because peace, freedom, and magic were restored to Etheria.”

    Summary

    “You look out for me, and I look out for you.”

    Catra really, truly thought that no matter how the world grew or shook or crumbled, there would always be a Catra so long as there was an Adora, and an Adora so long as there was a Catra.

    “You promise?”

    Catra wanted it to be true. She wanted to believe Adora’s promise so badly, she turned herself into a liar.

    Because that was the nature of promises, after all. Either promises only make liars—or only liars make promises. It was a chicken-egg problem to be sure, but the fact remained that Adora lied to Catra. And by believing Adora’s promise, Catra lied to herself.

    (A convergent, non-linear character study of Catra—past, present, and future. Featuring Catra's POV on canon, pre-canon, deleted scenes, and post-canon)

    Tomorrow, she could be gone, and everyone would remember She-Ra, the great and mighty hero who toppled empires and sacrificed herself for the future of Etheria.
    Catra would remember Adora, dorky and sweet, who was bright in a world of shadows, who had scuffed knees, tired smiles, and calloused hands.

    Summary

    It's what they used to call children who were odd, or disabled. Before modern medicine knew why certain brains worked differently, how chemicals became imbalanced, or neurons misfired, it was so much easier to blame it on magic. So, the farmer's son had a twitch in the eye, or couldn't understand why people laughed, or couldn't talk at all, what was the answer? Simple. That wasn't the farmer's son. The real farmer's son must have been abducted by fairies as a baby, and the one they had left over...

    They called them changelings.

    Summary

    Maybe this had gone too far, Sokka allowed, the firmest of fake smiles affixed to his face. Stealing was one thing, doing whatever it took to survive was another, and faking it till you made it had always been his number one motto, but maybe, maybe, this had gone too far.

    The Earth Kingdom mansion was practically plated in gold, the plants outside manicured into perfectly symmetrical shapes, and the accompanying servants wore impeccable clothing with manners to match. Sokka, on the other hand, had a smile, a suit that probably cost more than everything in his entire village, and the fervent hope that everything would turn out alright.

    "Nice digs, huh?" Bumi, mad king of Omashu, elbowed him in the ribs, grinning. "Get it? Digs?"

    Bumi was there, too.

    Summary

    She looked older. Taiyang supposed he'd never really gotten a good look at Ruby since the accident. The hospital had given her so many creams and bandages he wouldn't have been able to see much if he tried, but it was his lack of trying that really let him down this time. To be honest, he hadn't wanted to see what she looked like after. Not because he didn't want to see her burns, but because he didn't want to see her in pain he couldn't do anything about.

    When he looked into her eyes, at her face grinning up at him, he saw she was more than happy to see him. But she was also in pain.

    That's why she looked older.

    “We’re meeting Raven where?”
    ______

    Raven Branwen has come to Vacuo. She’s agreed to fight against Salem. And she’s told Ruby and Yang everything they want to know about what happened to their mother. Now, she has asked the girls for a chance to be in their lives – to get to know the family she abandoned for so many years – and her daughter has begrudgingly accepted.
     

    All that’s left is to do is go through with it.

     
    Even if ‘normal family time’ is a notion Raven has long-since forgotten. Even if Yang intends on testing Raven’s newfound resolve until she finds its limits. Even if the girls ask her to patronize a sticky, sugar-filled establishment with a talking cup for a mascot…

     
    Whatever it takes.
