Summary
What exactly does our favorite trauma kitty go through after Horde Prime decides she's too much trouble?
Way too many stories have people "get over" mind control as soon as it ends, never for it to be mentioned again, and it's endlessly frustrating. Anyone who writes that sort of thing should know that taking away someone's bodily autonomy is plenty traumatic even without using them to hurt the people they care about.
I hope to counterbalance that by making this one extra fucked up. Suffer and enjoy.

Summary
“My story? No. If the history books are gonna say anything about me, I’m just a character in hers. Icaria meant a lot of different things to different folk. Tyrant, deserter, traitor, hero… I heard it all. To me, mostly she was a friend. Just one scared orphan in over her head in this world, and I was with her to the bitter end. I’ve got to say, I didn’t think it would go down this way. I used to believe in heroes. Not anymore. Justice didn’t make me feel any better. It didn’t save Argenport. It didn’t save her. And all the martyrs in the world couldn’t take down a man who succumbed to his own debts. Drink up, folks.”

Summary
A darker tale which explores the more obsessive side of Catra and Adora's relationship.
From the moment Catra decides to corrupt Adora's sword, things take a turn for the worse. What if she were by herself and things had really gotten out of hand that day? What if corrupted She-Ra took things just a bit too far, almost killing Catra in the process?
Catra's mistake ultimately forces them together. With the absence of any other positive influence around them, the love they feel for one another - the one good, pure thing that they have - soon becomes blinding. The odds might be stacked against them, but they'll forge a future for themselves, no matter the cost.
