Catra knew. As she had walked through the broken doors, she had understood. She was there to die. She would never see Adora again. But she would die with the blood of a Queen on her claws
Today's chapter comes with the first of two amazing pieces of art for this fic by @rhnalli.
here's my illustration for "Defiance", by @thenotebookwizard! spectacular fic! you should check it out!! i had a blast making these (yes, pl
This chapter was - very hard to write. Do you want to know how many times I have re-written the last scene? No? That's good, because admitting it would be embarrassing.
But it is one of my top five scenes in this fic so far.
And, because I'm me -
Random Things!
This scene was used in one of my original preview images:
(Typos mine! @rhnalli did great on the art here.)
Every single one of my fics has a reference to a Star Wars word or quote. Can you find the one here?

Catra realizes she chose Shadow Weaver over Adora; she realizes Adora wasn't her enemy until she decided she was. Catra realizes she has gained nothing and lost everything. Adora realizes she has sworn to fight almost everyone she knows; she realizes she has sworn to fight the person she cares about more than anyone. Because it's the right thing to do - and doing the right thing might be all she has left.
Catra races to Bright Moon to fix what she broke and Adora tried to see a clear path forward.
Season one. Episode three - canon divergence. The start to a series of one shots I'll write over the summer based on prompts from the Creative Flex server.
Irony: I am three prompts behind, this story that starts the series is not based on a prompt.
Defiance is very much still in progress. I am several scenes deep into the second arc, and making good progress. Posting will continue, and the story continues to enthrall and bemuse me.
For example: of the scenes I have written so far, only three were in the outline. The other two just - happened. They're good, though!
But I can't ever work on just one thing. I'm very bad at that.
The nascent Princess Alliance is off to Salineas to recruit Princess Mermista, fight the Horde, and save the world - in that order. Catra and Adora start to face some of what their upbringing has made them, and reforge their bond stronger and healthier. But when Catra figures out who a certain mermaid following them really is, she finds herself having to play diplomat and find out if the Alliance is doomed before it begins, and if Glimmer is right about what can save Etheria.
I'm going to hit all the prompts with this series, and all of them will have red creme fizz (red cream soda!) in them. For better or for worse! This is the second story in the series and the first of the series actually filling a prompt!
