masterlist of my fics

starlight, magic, you: catra and adora have shared lucid dreams of each other for years, a sure sign that they’re soulmates. the only problem is that they won’t be able to remember the dreams once they wake up

catradora ||| 2.2k ||| complete

slow dancing in the dark: after accepting a dare to spend the night in an allegedly haunted castle, adora soon meets a girl that is just as mysterious as the abandoned building that they’re in

catradora ||| 3.3k ||| complete

daybreak over the ocean, moonlight still on the sea: catra and adora have ruled over the ocean and the moon since the beginning of time. catra has loved adora for just as long

catradora ||| 4.8k ||| complete

let me love you like (drunk on you): catra wakes up in the middle of the night, burning up from the inside. adora helps.

catradora ||| 800 ||| complete ||| pwp

honeysuckle heart: there is a secret blooming in adora’s heart and in her lungs, one that is has been spilling out for months and months now, one that she is forced to tell catra before it’s too late

catradora ||| 1.6k ||| complete

and i’ll meet you in eden: after spending months trying to restore peace to Etheria and foster connections with other planets, the princesses throw a ball in honor of She-Ra—who actually has something else planned for her girlfriend

catradora ||| 3.5k ||| complete

blood on my hands (like the blood in you): adora finds the sword, stays with catra, and they take over the horde and then the planet—but something happens to the sword, and adora is…different now, and catra would do just about anything to keep her satisfied

catradora ||| 1k ||| complete ||| tw for blood, graphic violence and character death

take a lover (who looks at you like maybe you are magic): catra moves to bright moon for a fresh start and soon discovers that the tiny town and its inhabitants—like the cute girl that works at the local cafe—are much more magical than she’d thought

catradora with side merfuma + glimbow ||| 21k ||| incomplete

nightingale: tailor adora gets a lot more than she’d bargained for when she somehow catches the eye of society’s eccentric power couple, lord c’yra and chancellor dolos

catradora + catrouble + adorable ||| 2k ||| incomplete

blooming day: adora spends most of her days completing deliveries for the seaside residents of bright moon and denying the crush that she absolutely does not have on her roommate catra. the flowers that she’s started to cough up do not mean anything either.

catradora ||| 5k ||| incomplete

keeping up appearances: it’s tradition that the cheerleading captain goes to prom with the football captain, and despite all the bad blood between them, cheearleading captain catra is determined to get the prom crown, even if it means that she’ll have to have adora at her side.

catradora ||| 6.5k ||| complete

jigsaw: everyone thinks that adora and catra are dating. and sure, catra brings adora her favorite food when she’s upset, and adora invites catra over to her house for the holidays, and maybe they kissed the first time they met—but they’re not dating. right?

catradora ||| 2.5k ||| complete

burnt sugar: catra, the heir to horde industries, needs to pay someone to be her date to a gala, and though she has her suspicions, broke college student adora agrees to try it out

catradora ||| 11k ||| incomplete

honey tongued: adora doesn’t do clubs, but it’s glimmer’s birthday, so she decides to go just this once—and the gorgeous not-quite-stranger that approaches her just might make her night

catradora ||| 4k ||| incomplete ||| pwp

gravity: there’s a local legend that when the statue of the hero She-Ra is touched by her soulmate, she’ll unfreeze. and catra doesn’t believe in magic, but it’s scorpia’s last day in town, and she wants to take pictures with the statue—and hey, it’s just one picture, right?

catraodra ||| 3.5k ||| complete

devotion: even as they grow up and grow apart, some things always stay the same. the love they have for each other, the silent promises they make accompanied by the press of their foreheads together and the twine of their fingers together

sweet love

(or: a 5+1 coffee shop au, in which gideon tries to ask harrow out)

Harrow glances at the display of pastries for a long few moments, but then shakes her head decisively and turns her midnight gaze back to Gideon, who totally does not feel her knees go a bit weak. “Just the coffee,” she says, and then, almost playfully now, “thank you, Gideon."

fascination (3/5)

If she were with DT, it would be so easy to bite her lower lip and tease, to make them want her, but with Adora…it’s different. This moment feels almost sacred somehow, and Catra’s hand trembles as she draws Adora closer, and when their lips finally touch, it is like coming home.

DT knows that they’re grinning—they can’t help it, honestly—and they force themself to nod. It’s funny,” they say, “because Catra…she always reacts so violently to you. It’s positively adorable, pardon the pun.”

fascination (3/5)

If she were with DT, it would be so easy to bite her lower lip and tease, to make them want her, but with Adora...it’s different. This moment feels almost sacred somehow, and Catra’s hand trembles as she draws Adora closer, and when their lips finally touch, it is like coming home.

They’re curled up together in Catra’s bed now, Adora’s hair splayed across the pillow that DT has playfully claimed as their own. For some odd reason, Catra can’t help the way she finds herself hoping that Adora’s scent will overtake theirs.

As if she can hear her thinking, Adora opens her eyes and smiles at the sight of Catra so close. “I was thinking about you,” she says, so open, so easy. It makes a surge of fondness shudder through Catra’s heart, and she sinks down into the blankets to press their foreheads together.

“What were you thinking about?”

Adora pouts to herself, her hand finding Catra’s to hold as she thinks of what to say. “DT is confusing, ” she says eventually, “I only met them that one time, but...it doesn’t really feel like I met them. It feels kind of like they don’t like me. And I know that you care about them...maybe not in the same way you do me, but I want to know them too. For you.”

And oh. “They’re kind of annoying like that, I promise it’s not you,” Catra says in a rush, “you’re okay, they really do like you. A bit too much, honestly, they won’t stop asking about you.”

Adora’s eyes dip down just a bit and stay there, and Catra fights the urge to cover the fading hickey DT had left days ago. “We’re both important to you, so I wanted to at least try. ”

Catra drops a kiss against her forehead. “You’re okay, baby.”

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

You know, this is why content creators end up abandoning their works, right?

80 likes compared to 10 reblogs means that only 12% of people decided that what you did is worth showing other people.

If you like the thing, reblog it. You don’t even have to add tags, just spread it so that a) other people can see it, and b) the creator gets recognition for what they did.

Obviously, those numbers are never going to match, but the divide should not be that huge.

It’s even more important right now, because tumblr is garbage and they’ve stopped allowing anything with an outside link from appearing in tags. Writers/artists cannot tag things to their twitter/store/writing website. That can cause a significant drop in views, especially for newer creators.

Like… we aren’t asking for much. A few reblogs. Reviews/comments. No creator should have to beg for that much.

[revaleks-deactivated20200524]

+this site is a reblogging platform

Its whole purpose and systematics are based on that fact. What you do is killing the site.

@ all the i’ll like but won’t reblog ppl, If you don’t wanna reblog stuff and credit content creators for their work and effort + if you won’t appreciate them… Go :) to :) another :) site :) like :) instagram :)))))

[lavenderbyun]

i also just want to add that 90% of the people who say “reblogs don’t matter. we owe you nothing.” aren’t content creators and therefore have no idea. 

sure, you don’t owe us anything. but don’t be surprised when we stop making shit for you to look at, read, appreciate, or ~share~ via other platforms. 

fact is, you’re on tumblr in the first place because you’re interested in this kind of content so its kind of dumb to act like ~oh we don’t owe you anything~ bc sis, this content is what makes tumblr what it is. 

and again, if you didn’t think so - you’d instead be on twitter or instagram.

[dilf-patton-deactivated20220806]

Reblogging these every time. You can even just queue it!

[hai-resdaynia]

wanna know the reason i gave up posting my writing on tumblr? now you see it. at least on AO3 i get some comments. yall have no idea how heartbreaking it is to put something you’re really proud of on here and get like… 20 likes and no reblogs. because it feels like not a single person cares enough or enjoyed it enough to share it and show other people. and that hurts, man, we put heart into these things

[ladyhallen]

I’m getting to that point myself…..

fascination (2/5)

DT knows that they’re grinning—they can’t help it, honestly—and they force themself to nod. It’s funny,” they say, “because Catra...she always reacts so violently to you. It’s positively adorable, pardon the pun.”

It’s been an unnecessarily long week, and after picking up a burger, DT heads over to Catra’s unannounced, the key she’d tossed at them now snug on their keychain. Thankfully, no one else is over, and DT has never been more grateful. They toss their coat and bag down on the couch, and stay in the kitchen while they eat. Catra’s probably going to be pissed that they didn’t get her anything—and more pissed that they just stole the last can of sprite from the fridge—but they’ll make it up to her in just a bit.

Once they’re finished eating, DT heads upstairs—but as soon as they reach her room, they stop and raise a brow, squinting at Catra because...something’s different. And that smile, that can only mean one thing: “So...what happened with Adora?”

Catra rolls over and presses her face into her pillow to hide her smile, and DT resists the urge to tease her mercilessly for it as they wait for Catra to speak. “She came over earlier, and she let me kiss her,” she says into the pillow.

And that’s… “Uh...so?”

“It was her first kiss,” Catra elaborates.

Adora’s always had a bit of a fascination with Catra, ever since they met so many years ago. Catra is mesmerizing, plain and simple, and Adora…she wants to know everything about her, wants to learn her inside out.

fascination (1/5)

Adora's always had a bit of a fascination with Catra, ever since they met so many years ago. Catra is mesmerizing, plain and simple, and Adora...she wants to know everything about her, wants to learn her inside out.

Adora's always had a bit of a fascination with Catra, ever since they met so many years ago. Catra is mesmerizing, plain and simple, and Adora...she wants to know everything about her, wants to learn her inside out. She feels drawn to Catra like she’s never felt drawn to anyone else before in her life, as if some oddly magnetic, cosmic attraction was birthed the moment they met.

“I have a fascination on you,” she admits one day. They’re sitting on opposite sides of the couch, Adora curled up in one corner with Catra splayed out on the other end; the tv is on but neither of them are watching it. For a moment, Adora is sure Catra hasn’t heard, but then she pushes herself up on her elbows to look at Adora in confusion, her brows furrowed.

“What?”

“It’s...not a crush. I love you, just not romantically, I don’t think. It’s just...a fascination. I’m just fascinated by you, I don’t know how else to explain it.”

Save a fanfic writer, leave comments on old fics

There is this a peculiar set of reasons and biases when it comes to NOT commenting on AO3.

They are all false, but here they are:

Do not comment on old fics

Do not comment on each chapter of a multichapter

Do not comment if the author left the fandom

Do not comment if the author doesn’t respond to comments

It can be summoned up as DO NOT ACT LIKE YOU ENJOYED THE WORK AND YOU LIKE THE AUTHOR.

It comes from the idea, that if you leave a comment on my old work, or leave too many comments, I will think you are strange, clingy, and gross.

Readers are imagining it as commenting on an old Facebook photo — only your granny and creepy strangers do that.

That is not the case with AO3.

Writers put their works there for long-term storage, and we expect, wish, and hope that you will like our works and tell us about it.

This all very interesting, not, but why should I care?

This has awful consequences.  Fanfic authors feel constant pressure to create more and crippling fear of being forgotten, useless, and being literally kicked away from fandom.

I’m online friends with a few great fandom authors, who wrote storied with thousands of kudos, but ALL of them at some point expressed this fear. Very talented people told me, “I’m not sure if I should have ‘writer’ in my bio. I didn’t post anything new in the last half of a year.”

Some young or entitled readers might say, “Hm, well, they are right. They should create MORE to be relevant. Isn’t that a good thing to push authors to write more?”

For better or worse, life doesn’t work like that. We are talking about real people, who go to real schools, have real jobs, families, and all the other important things outside the fandom. Some of them might push to create more from that fear, but most would only get more frustrated and depressed about the whole fanfic writing.

So, please, if you like the work comment on it.

Even if it’s old, even if it’s a multichapter, even if the author doesn’t have time and energy to interact. Especially in all those cases.

Encourage your authors, and show them your support.

[olderthannetfic]

I die laughing every time I get a comment that’s like “Sorry to comment on something so old.” and it’s from like 5 years ago tops. Like… dude… there’s stuff on AO3 that was written in the 70s. Five years is nothing.

starlight, magic, you

this was for the now cancelled @catradorasoulmates zine and is the partner to @ftsartblog‘s gorgeous piece that you can see here! 

But Adora hasn’t given up on trying, and neither has Catra. And in the meantime, they have this time now, and all of the dreams that will come.
