"This urgency in Adora’s movement is what gets Catra in the end. She refuses to fall behind. Not without a fight. That is what they’re doing, right? They are still fighting.
There is no other word to describe how Adora tears into her."

A screenshot of AO3. The title reads: Tie the Knot (Around My Neck, She's Driving Me Crazy). The summary of Chapter 4 is: In which Catra has a perfectly good explanation, and Adora does some jumping jacks.

A screenshot of a Word doc that reads: "Catra never gives up to get what she wants. Usually. It’s so easy not to, when she knows losing would come with raging fire, a bitter aftertaste. When her mind punishes her for it without mercy, and the tormenting words sound just like a ghost of a mother that won’t stay buried. But right now, after she becomes boneless and satisfied and warm, failure feels like Adora’s steady heartbeat beneath her ears and soft kisses pressed to the crown of her head. And once in her life, Catra doesn’t want to win."

Catra and Adora lounging in their bed while soft morning light pours on them. Adora is above Catra, kissing her softly and rubbing her hand across Catra’s chest. Catra has a hand on Adora’s shoulder, keeping her close, her long hair spreading on the pillow. The background is gradient pink, and the lesbians are so in love.

Catra, homoerotically straddling the enemy: What? I’m not doing anything.

A digital illustration of Catra and Adora from She-Ra (2018) Catra is wearing her S4 outfit and a cocky smirk, straddling Adora and keeping her down with both hands on Adora’s shoulders. Adora is prepped on her elbows, knees drawn up, seemingly refusing to stay down. Her hand is in the crease of Catra’s knee, Catra’s tail wrapped around one of her legs. Her furious grimace COULD look scarier if it weren’t for her whole face that burns red like a tomato, up to her ears. The background is gradient baby blue with a cheeky “Hey, Adora”

A digital illustration of Catra and Adora from She-Ra (2018). They are laying down in comfy loungewear, kissing softly with their legs entangled so they can press as close as physically possible. Adora’s hair is let down, and she has one hand cupping Catra’s cheek, another on her back to pull her even closer. Catra holds onto Adora with a hand on her back, smiling into the kiss. Catra has grown out her long hair, and two of her claws are clipped iykyk. The scratch marks on Adora’s jaw are fading, indicating that we are far into the future where everything is perfect. The background is gradient pink with white little hearts.

A digital illustration of Catra and Adora from She-Ra (2018). They are lying in each others' arms all tangled up together, hairs splayed around their heads. Catra has her arms and legs wrapped around Adora, leaving bright red scratches on Adora's back. Her tail is curled to Adora's calf, her ear flagged in vulnerable submission. Her hand is combing through Adora's hair, free from her usual ponytail. Adora has her knees drawn up, pulling Catra closer as they kiss. The crumpled sheets they are lying on are light pink, their blushes are heart-shaped.

A digital illustration of Adora from She-Ra (2018) in her reimagined form for my fic, Break a Leg. She has s5 She-Ra’s build and hair style with shaved sides. She is topless, wearing a towel around her waist, white headphones and a serene if not a little confused expression. She touches her headphones with one hand, muscles bulking. She is sunburnt, pink tan lines forming around a shape of a sports bra. The burn paints her body hair even fairer. Her abs are chiseled, her cheekbones are chiseled, she is carved from fucking marble alright? She’s hot, sweat dripping from her, looking away from the viewer. The background is baby blue with white sparkles.

A pastel-colored digital comic of Adora and Catra from She-Ra (2018). 1st panel: Adora is sitting with a cup of coffee in front of her, looking a little awkward with her index finger pressed to her flushed cheek. The speech bubble says, "So..." 2nd panel: Adora gains confidence, snapping her fingers with a very smug-looking flirty expression. The speech bubble says, "What do you like to do in your free time?" 3rd panel: A smirky Catra looking at her nails, failing to feign indifference as her tail curls up in excitement. Her speech bubble says, "Usually blondes."

A digital illustration of Catra's eyes from She-Ra (2018) based on the Your Eyes On Drugs meme. On the top strip, she has her slit pupils with the white text "NORMAL" above them. On the second strip, they are somewhat dilated, the white text says "PARTIES". On the third, her pupils are visibly dilated, basically round with tiny white hearts all over; the text, obviously, says "ADORA". On the bottom one, her pupils almost make up her entire eyes, sparkling with joy while the text says, "BLOWING STUFF UP".

A 4-panel digital comic of Adora and a Catra from She-Ra (2018). Their appearances are based on my AU, Break a Leg: Adora looks more like S5 She-Ra in her body type, long ponytail with a poof and sideshaves, while Catra is a human with heterochromia and long wavy hair, wearing several piercings in her ears. On the first panel, Adora is snarling, furious as she says, “Just a reminder that it costs zero dollars to be nice.” On the second panel, Catra casually rests her cheek against her palm and cocks a brow as she asks, smirking, “What is it to be an asshole?” On the third panel, Adora’s entire face is beet red from anger, her lips curving down in a comically over-the-top frown. Out of frame, Catra says, “I can Venmo you.” Adora doesn’t respond. On the fourth panel, Catra’s shit eating grim is wider than ever as she raises her jaw at Adora challengingly. Out of frame, Adora snaps: “That’s not the poi-!!” Catra cuts in, “It’s free, isn’t it?”

“Do you want to kiss me?”
Adora brings their bodies closer with a firm hand on the small of Catra’s back. Their chests brush, heartbeats pounding against each other.
“I want to kiss you everywhere.”

| fic: Tie the Knot | #spopsky #shera #spop #catradora #dandyvelafics #dandyvelaart |
A digital illustration of Catra and Adora from She-Ra (2018) from my wedding planner/maid of honor AU, Tie the Knot. Adora has her arm wrapped around Catra's neck, her hand on the small of Catra's back while Catra rests her thumb on Adora's lips, her other hand on Adora's back. They are both smiling stupidly at each other. Catra's expression is a touch softer, Adora has more of a smug vibe. Maybe because Catra's tail curls around her waist, brushing her bare back. Adora's bridesmaid dress is powder pink with a bold slit that starts in the middle of her thigh and with a cut that exposes her entire back. She wears a tiny gold earring that looks like the buckle of her belt in the show. Her hair is in her usual ponytail, save for a little curl right by her ear. Catra's long, curly hair is down. She wears a simple dark maroon overall with a sweetheart neckline and a triangular cut above her hips. The background is smudged; it is the inside of the wedding venue, with myriad of lights like fireflies. Catra and Adora are crowned and framed with a bright golden light, like they are the only two people inside.

A digital illustration of Catra and Adora from She-Ra (2018), based on my AU Break a Leg. They are kissing in the kitchen. The morning light is bright and soft, curtains fluttering in the warm breeze. Catra is sitting on top of the counter, wearing an oversized sleep shirt. Adora is in a gray tank top and red booty shorts. She leans above Catra as they kiss, holding up her broken leg. Catra’s hand is on the nape of Adora’s neck, pulling her closer. Adora’s long hair is trapped under Catra’s hand, flowing down her back like silk. Catra has a sleek black synthetic cast on, full of text written by a silver marker. Two steaming mugs of coffee sit next to them, one with a LIVE LAUGH LESBIAN text in the colors of the lesbian flag, and one with a golden handle that is based on details of She-Ra's outfit. On the bottom of the drawing, there is a ripped, worn-out, smudgy piece of paper with the text, "13. Don't fall in love." It's crossed out.

A digital illustration of Adora and Catra from She-Ra (2018), in my modern AU, Tie the Knot. Adora is wearing her grey tank top she sleeps in as she tangles her hand in Catra’s hair to kiss her. Her hair is in her usual ponytail, and there’s a deep blush on her cheeks that reach the top of her ears. Catra kisses her back, blushing just as wildly as Adora does. She wears a blank halter top, her ear is slightly flagged. Both of them have a little speech bubble above their heads with a tiny pink heart. Because I’m a sucker for cuteness.

A digital illustration of Adora from She-Ra (2018) in my new wrestling AU. Her appearance is similar to her S5 She-Ra look, many details from canon finding their way into her costume. She has her long ponytail and hair poof, tiara, golden gauntlets, but also some new/modernized accessories like two helix piercings in one ear, sparkle highlighter above her cheekbone, an eyebrow slit, and thigh-high golden boots. She is leaning on her elbows, resting her chin on her laced hands as she smiles at something - or maybe someone? - with a look between dreamy and cocky. The background is sky blue with white sparkles. A digital illustration of Catra from She-Ra (2018) in my new wrestling AU. Her S4 outfit inspires her costume, but a little more grunge. She wears studded jewelry in her ears and also around her neck and waist. She has the same sweetheart cut but it's a leather crop with black accents, lace and chains, one of her fingerless long gloves is fishnet style, she wears double layers of ripped tights, and a mesh layer of an asymmetric halter top. Her hair is long with a dominant side shave. Her color palette is the same as in canon, from the top to the thigh-high ripped leggings. She is sitting on the ropes of the wrestling ring, leisurely crossing her legs and curling her tail around it while she smirks down at something - or someone? ;) I hate this joke. The background is baby pink with white hearts.

cw: blood | #spopsky #shera #spop #catradora #catra #adora #dandyvelaart |
A digital illustration of Adora and Catra from She-Ra (2018). It’s based on Save the Cat; Adora has her hair down and her face scratched and bruised as she sits on the floor of Prime’s ship with a dying Catra laying in her lap. Adora’s shoulder are hunched and trembling, and she laces her fingers together with Catra’s. Catra is laying on her back, one arm across Adora’s leg with her palm up. He upper half of her face is hidden by Adora’s - you can only make out her parted lips, nose and freckles. She wears her chipped outfit, her hair chopped short. Her tail is curling behind her. She lays in a pool of her own blood; it stains the back of her clothes, Adora’s knees. Specks of blood dried under her nose, stains her teeth, and drips down to her cheek where it gets mixed with Adora’s tears falling on her face. While on Catra’s side, the background is dark, on the opposite side, there is a blinding, growing light as losing her is going to awake She-Ra.

A digital illustration of Adora and Catra from my maid of honour/wedding planner fic. Catra stands in front with a hand in her pocket, glancing behind her without turning her head. The angle of her brows is irritated, just like the way she bares her teeth. She wears a long-sleeve turtleneck shirt with a keyhole cut and high-waisted, loose grey pants. Behind her, Adora is stomping away with a similar expression, except her mouth is in a tight line. She wears a white tank top and sweatpants in the color of washed-out light jeans. The background is pink with petals falling, and the title "Tie the Knot (around my neck, she's driving me crazy)" is displayed at the top.
