Heeeeey. I am not remotely active on this website, but I wrote a thing. And I think it’s a good thing. So I’m gonna advertise it here.
I have spent the past 6 months working on a MASSIVE She-Ra longfic, and I am thrilled to announce that I will be releasing it alll at once on AO3 in 1 month! Feel free to follow for updates (I won’t be posting anything this month outside of that). Will be publishing under the username @StarchildComics (EDIT: @ari-kari) so keep an eye out on August 11th!
~~Blurb~~
Adora is going places. That’s what everyone’s always told her - from her estranged guardian Sharon Weaver to her academic advisor, Dr. Hope - and she has never had any intention of letting them down. But when her lifelong battle with anxiety tips from “manageable” to completely out of control, Adora winds up in the last place she ever expected; a mental health treatment center, smack dab in the middle of nowhere. And she’s far from the only “client” here in desperate need of assistance.
Adora wants nothing more than to get back to her old life and pretend this never happened. She throws herself eagerly into “getting better” in the hopes they’ll let her leave. But she wasn’t counting on a few key factors - like her drop-dead gorgeous and totally annoying roommate, or the crippling panic attacks that continue to threaten her recovery. Soon, she is faced with a choice. Will she return to school, and her old life, as soon as possible? Or will the staff and clients at Whispering Woods Recovery lead her down a different path entirely?
(Primary Catradora slowburn fic with various other canon ships included. Minor enemies-to-lovers element. The problematic nature of the fic’s central conceit will be addressed lol)

Scorpia dating a really fem, bimbo reader 😢💕 plz
Scorpia dating an overly fem bimbo reader headcanons
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Warnings: none that I'm aware of
I don't wanna say it was love at first sight, but Scorpia was pretty much head over heels the moment she saw you
You were so breathtakingly gorgeous that she nearly fainted the first time you looked her way
Everything from your outfit to your makeup to the way you did your hair - she was simping hard
Unbeknownst to her, you felt the exact same when you saw her
You sensed that someone was staring, and when you looked up you saw the most adorable individual you'd ever seen in your entire life
When she saw you heading her way, she panicked
Had she upset you with her unwanted attention?
You giggled at the way she tried to hide behind a plant to keep you from spotting her before deciding to introduce yourself
The two of you hit it off right away, becoming good friends before eventually dating each over
Scorpia loves watching you pick out your outfit for the day before doing your hair and makeup
Btw if you ever want to dress her up in your style all you have to do is ask, she'll be ecstatic and immediately say yes
She just loves you with all of her heart tbh <3
She also loves taking you out shopping! She's the type of girlfriend to stand outside the changing room and hold your stuff while you try clothes on
She always compliments you on the cute clothes you picked out
She's very protective over you, defending you to people who have the nerve to call you any array of insults based off your looks/personality
Even if you don't always understand things right away, that's okay because Scorpia doesn't always get things either (and she's happy to help explain it if you want)
She's always gushing over you to Catra, who is honestly quite sick of it at this point lolol
Scorpia does her best to keep you safe from the many dangers in the Fright Zone because she wouldn't be able to bear it if she saw you get hurt
♡ Send in more requests here ♡

Midnight picnic date with catra. That's it, that's the ask :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hell yeah! 🌻🌻🌻
This was definitely your idea!
Everything with the horde had kept Catra very preoccupied and she barely ever had any time to just sit and relax, but now the war was over, and you were determined to take her out on an actual date!
"I know things have been stressful since the war ended...and since the war was in motion... okay, I know our whole lives have been very stressful!" You look at her warmly, "but...the war is over now, kitten, and...I want to do something special for you...for us..."
You end up talking her into it with your cute little face and that sweet little loving look you give her!
You do your best to keep everything a surprise, but when your girlfriend is an ex-force captain and has heightened hearing and smell...it gets kinda tricky.
"What's all the food for? Are we having people over?"
"What do you mean I can't eat it yet!?"
"You're sooo lucky you're cute."
You work through it.
When midnight comes around, well...Catra is a little less than pleased to be woken up and told to get dressed, but you promise her it'll be worth it.
You decide you wanna go the full nine yards, so you convince Catra to dress up in her red suit and you dress up in a matching fancy garb...because you're that couple.
Then you two are off!
"This better be good, princess~"
"Don't worry, kitten, I wouldn't interrupt your cat nap for nothing."
"Not. A. Cat. Nap."
But when you finally arrive at the park, you can see by the way her ears perk up and she begins to purr that she's happy.
And that was all you wanted.
So you take her hand and guide her to sit down on the picnic blanket with you.
"Gotta give it to you, princess, you sure know how to throw a surprise."
"Yeah well, it wasn't easy with you being so nosy all the time, kitten~"
"Yeah we'll, lying isn't your strong suit either, princess."
For the next hour yourself and Catra indulged in all the premade food, a lot of it being Catra's first time trying it!
You took note on how much she seemed to love the sweets you had made and mentally promised yourself to make more for her soon.
Once you two finished eating you crawled over to her and gave her lips a soft sweet kiss.
"Was everything okay, kitten?"
From the soft fond look in her multicolored eyes and her quite rumbling purrs you could guess her answer, but it was still nice hearing her say how happy you'd made her and how everything was perfect.
"You know I'mma try and one up this in the future, right princess~?" She teased you as you rested your head on her shoulders.
You giggled and between another loving kiss you shot back, "in your dreams, kitten-"
"in your dreams~"

For the @glimbowweek prompt: Domestic
This is Earth!Glimbow how they look to me in The Other Me, after the events of the fic. They've had a long day pitching their new company to investors and really need to sleep because they are both dead on their feet. But Bow insisted on doing the dishes first so Glimmer is "helping."
Turning off the shadows for a second so you can all fully appreciate Bow's hair which I am slightly proud of..

late night strategies
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: glimmer x gn!reader
summary: getting your girlfriend to go to sleep can be a hard job sometimes...
Tumblr media
“you really should rest, glims! you look exhausted…”
glimmer was flipping through the pages of a strategy manual, her mind too occupied with the next battle than to even think about sleep. and yet, the dark color underneath her eyes gave away just how badly she needed to sleep.
“i know, but…”
glimmer sighed, but you didn't give her any time to talk back to you. you grabbed the book out of her hands, placing it on the nightstand, before rolling on top of her and wrapping your arms around her.
“no ‘but’! if you don't sleep now, i'm going to be really mad!”
you tried to glare at her and look intimidating, but your plan failed, as glimmer chuckled at the sight of your furrowed brows.
“alright, alright… i wouldn't want you to get angry with me~!”

Adora x Male reader?
I suppose you mean Adora from She-Ra, Princess of Power? Still a great suggestion. The only thing I’d ask is to be a tiny bit more descriptive. Besides that—
Tumblr media
Training to be better
Adora (She-Ra) X Male Reader
Note: Muscle Girls Are the best thing like, Ever.
The Grounds of Bright moon were a perfect training ground for the Warriors and Princesses in order to hone their skills for combat against the engrossing evil that arose in the past years. Whist (Y/n)’s Training wasn’t particularly complicated it was not a walk in the park and he took his position as captain of the Guard very seriously. When it came to training recruits he could make a man out of them, but that was before he came in contact with, Adora.
(Y/n) stood at a clearing near the bottom of the village past the castle, tapping his foot. His palm rested on the hilt of his sword. He was waiting Adora who was late, again. He let out a weary sigh and then caught a glimpse of someone approaching from the horizon. Adora finally made it panting.
“Sorry! Sorry! Had… To save.. Baby Birds..” she says through bated breath. (Y/n) raises an eyebrow but ignores the questions he had.
“Alright, anyway since you’re finally on time, we can start the basic training. Now have you used a sword before?” He said. Adora scratches her head.
“Well, Horde training was mostly using combat rifles, drill training and other stuff but.. no. Not swords.” She admits sheepishly, (Y/n) shook his head and points at her sword.
“Alright, raise your blade.” He says, and Adora does.
“First things first, I’ll teach you the basics, and the first thing you learn about a sword is a sword stance. They’re the forms made to be the most effective and efficient in sword combat, here.” He says, he grabs his sword with both handles and raises it upward at a slight angle. He kept his hands near his pelvis and the blade angles outward.
“This is the close stance, a basic form for dealing with quick blocking and counters. Keeping your sword close to your body gives you more control on how it reacts. See?” He begins to deflect, raising his blade. Now you try it.” He says, Adora performs the Close stance without much failure.
“Is this right?” She asks, he walks up to her and around behind her, his hands grasp her waist and a slight “eep!” Creeps from behind her, his foot nudges hers apart more.
“Keep your feet spread more, gives you more balance to block attacks. His palms slide forward and grasp her waist and tilts the sword back to where it’s close to Adoras face.
“Now this is your guard stance.” He says and walks back to face her, “This will be your best friend, and it’ll keep you from getting your face chopped off, which is kinda important.
“Okay? But why would I need to do this when I can just use She-Ra?” She says.
“Because you can’t rely on She-Ra all the time, plus I’m sure she’s not even that strong.” He says.
“You’ve never even seen her fight though…” Adora says under her breath slightly.
“Well, how strong can she really be?” He says, and Adora’s grin creeps along her face, she aims her blade upward and calls upon its power.
“For the Honor of GraySkull!”
In a blinding flash of light (Y/n) had to put his hands up and sharply close his eyes. With the light finally gone, he looks back.
“Okay cute little Skill but it—“ he begins but his voice croaks at the sight, Adora has turned into a tall, strapping and burly woman with long flowing golden hair, a white suit of combat armor. She jams her blade into the ground and flexes her muscles. (Y/n) was at a loss for words seeing this Chiseled, perfect Goddess before him.
“Like what you see?” She asks Leering with a smirk and (Y/n) snaps out of his trance.
“Okay “She-Ra” let’s see this new power you have.” (Y/n) said, She-Ra picks up her blade and he draws his in the low stance, the blade low to the ground, he rushes at her and goes for an upward swing, the blades collide and it felt like he just hit a Boulder. He stumbles back from the recoil and She-Ra just shrugs at his advance. He turns to the high stance, his blade raised over his head and he charges in for more swings. But each swing was perfectly blocked by the Princess of Power. She’s yawning, Yawning at his attacks! Getting more frustrated, (Y/n) swings with even more force, sparks emit and he spins, he changes stances mid spin to go for a stab, almost in instinct She-Ra side steps the stab and extends her plam and roughly jam it into his chest, the impact sends him spiraling. He flies back and crashes back first into a tree, collapsing down.
“So, how’s that for Power?” She Said, she waited but to hear no response, worry began to wash over She-Ra, afraid she just murdered someone and she quickly ran over, calling your name. The wind had been absolutely blown from your body. Causing you to faint from the shock of the impact, you slowly awaken as Adora was back, frantically shaking you.
“(Y/n)! (Y/n) please wake up! I’m sorry I should’ve listened to you! Please just—“
“You can stop shaking me.” You say Pretty calmly, you take a few deep breaths to catch yourself, but it helped little as she hugged you so ferociously, afraid she’s lost someone again.
“Woah! You can stop crying, it’s unbefitting of a Princess to cry.” He says, she slowly stops but doesn’t release you from her hug.
“I thought I lost you, I should have been more careful I… I’m sorry.” She said from the muffles of your shirt. You gently pat her back, reassuring her of your safety.
“It’s fine, im Fine.. Trust me, that’s the last time I’ll question She-Ara.”
She lets go of you and wipes the tears, standing up she offers you a hand and you gladly accept it, standing up you call your training quits for today, but this was the first step, the first step in the right direction.

The 12 days of fluffmas, day 3 - seeing Christmas lights with Entrapta
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Entrapta x gender neutral reader (can be read as either platonic or romantic)
Content warning(s): really tiny angst in the middle, but it gets resolved by the end, I promise
The princesses of Etheria go all out when it comes to parties, and the one being held for the winter solstice was no exception
Entrapta obviously got an invite as a princess herself, and she decided to take you with her as her plus one
The two of you arrived together, excited to experience all the things a typical princess party had to offer- great food, dancing, and of course seeing the other princesses themselves
You, however, were most of all excited to see the lights they would have up for the party
Ever since you were younger, whenever it came to celebrating the holiday season, the lights were always your favorite part
So imagine your disappointment when there were none once you finally got there
I mean, they had lights, sure, but they were more simplistic than they were the actual statement piece
It was such a trivial thing to get upset over, but you figured if they were to go above and beyond with everything that came to the planning of the party, they would do the same with the lights
Entrapta didn’t notice you were so upset at first, as she was being her usual scatterbrain self, but when she finally did that’s all she was focused on
“Oh, wow, look at that thing over there-! Oh, no, you’re frowning, that can’t be a good sign. Is it because I stole your finger sandwiches, or is it due to something else?”
You weren’t even able to finish your sentence of why you were upset before she threw her plate of food to the side and rushed off without saying another word
‘It’s nothing,’ you thought to yourself. ‘Entrapta does stuff like that all the time, no big deal’
It soon became one, however, when you waited, and waited, and she still hadn’t returned
You felt like crying, unsure as to why she left in such a hurry
Was it something you said? Did she perhaps think you were sounding ungrateful after being chosen as her plus one?
After all, she didn’t have to bring you with her, she could’ve taken one of her robot creations instead
You returned back to her castle with a heavy heart, hoping you could just sleep off the hurt that you were feeling, until you noticed there was something off
It was quiet, too quiet
Usually there was some sort of noise that was an indication to the several robots that resided within, but there wasn’t
Until Entrapta suddenly appeared next to you with the biggest smile on her face
“Hey! I’m so glad you’re here! I have something really important to show you, now come on!”
Before you could protest or even question what was going on, she was dragging you down the hall, all the way to her lab
“Wait right here!” She commanded as she scurried off again
You did as she asked, although it wasn’t like you had much of a choice, seeing as the room was completely dark
All of a sudden, the entire room brightened all at once, causing you to cover your eyes with your hands immediately at such a bright ray of light
Once you were finally able to look again, you noticed what was making the room so bright- lights
There were lights upon lights everywhere, entire strings of them zigzagging around the lab, lighting it up with its tacky colors
For the second time that night you felt like crying, but it wasn't from sadness this time, it was from joy (that and the brightness of everything)
After dimming the lights a bit so you wouldn’t both go blind, Entrapta made her way over to you yet again, wanting to know your thoughts
You responded by giving her a gigantic hug, thanking her for the gesture and for giving you the best gift anyone could ever ask for

I'm supposed to be doing other things but FUCK IT CATRA COMES FIRST!!
Okay, okay, okay! So, we're thinking about our f/o (fictional others just in case. 😌) coming to our world, right!?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, imagine seeing Catra either at school, or maybe you're walking home, and you stop dead in your tracks. Now of course your brain tries to reason this away, "Holy shit, that's a really good Catra cosplay." You think to yourself or tell a friend.
Then when she notices you she smirks and waves you over thus making you turn bright red. As you trudged up to her nervously you hastily say, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to stare at you like that, it's just...you look exactly like Catra it's almost scary!"
She laughs mischievously and steps up to you just a bit, "Oh, you really think so?"
Her voice sends chills down your spine because, "Yeah, and you sound just like her too..."
She cocks a brow, looking at you bemusedly, her tail swaying behind her, but you still refuse to accept that she's anything but a really clever cosplayer.
Your face flushed once more as you took a step backwards and you squeek, "Okay! Have a good day! Have fun at...uh...whatever you're dressed up for or...just have fun in general-!"
But as you turn away she slides to stand in your way and wraps her tail tightly around your wrist.
The soft fur of her tail, how organically it moves, and the feather like weight to it all point you to the truth, but it's still hard to believe.
"Either you have the most suffisticated mechanical tail in existence or..."
"Finally putting it together, princess?"
The revelation hits you like a brick. Her puffy hair, bright eyes, metal headpiece, soft ears and tail, hardly noticeable tuffs of fur like hair poking through the window in her shirt and the sides of her jaw, "Catra...?"
You hear a low purr rumbling from her chest, but pull away, "No, no, no, no, that's impossible!"
For a moment, just a moment, she almost looks hurt. Weren't you happy to see her? After all she went through to get to you, why are you pushing her away?
But as she notices the way your arms wrapped around each other, and how tightly you closed your eyes, she softened. "There's no other shoe, princess..."
Your eyes snap open wide, "what...what did you say?"
She laughs lightly and gently reaches for your hand, "That's what you said you do right? When something good happens? You wait for the other shoe to drop."
Your face softened. How would she know that? It was true, of course, but only your closest friends and loved ones knew that about you. You've only ever admitted to them your fear of good things, because good things have to end right?
"There's no other shoe," she repeated again and gently pulled you closer. "I'm here, I'm with you, and I'm not going anywhere."
How else would she know? How else would she know these things about you unless, "You're...you're really Catra?"
She looked at you with a coy smile and nodded, and then, she finally got the reaction she had hoped for.
You swung your arms around her, pulling her in tightly and nuzzling your face in the crook of her neck, "How?" You whispered to her, "how are you here?"
Though the memories weren't pleasant, and it was a hard fought battle to convince Adora and Glimmer to let Catra try this, they all knew how much Catra cared about you, so they all decided to work it out together. "Portal."
You pulled back, "but...but I thought the portal didn't work? Didn't you say it didn't work and..." You rolled your eyes with a shake of your head, "and that you almost destroyed reality last time?"
She laughed nervously and rubbed the nape of her neck, "Well...sorta." You laughed, the sound warming her from within. "The princesses helped this time, and...we were finally able to make a stable one."
You pulled her in again and admitted through running tears, "There's still apart of me that's waiting to wake up, that thinks this is just a cruel joke, that you're not really here, but-"
"I am." Catra finished as she placed a soft kiss on your cheek. "I'm here princess, I'm here."

The Technicalities Of Kissing Girls
Sumary: Adora and Catra sitting on a tree F-A-L-L-I-N-G
a/n:
based off a comment on red chrysanthemum (ao3 series. should i post it here???? milf adora???) like yes. this is quality content. i love you. this is for you. (rainbowlake on ao3 is my bb)
ALSO I FIND THIS SO FUCMING FUNNY NOT ADORA THINKING KISSING GIRLS HAS DIFFERENT WAYS LIKE PLS BITCH ONLY THING YOUVE EVER KISSED IS CATRA'S ASS STFU
also i accidentally wrote the forbidden forest instead of the whispering woods so now this is hp (ew jk rolling
ANOTHER THING: when my bf kissed me for the first time she said "you're a horrible kisser" then kissed me again and said "dw we can practice" and this was like a year ago and i still dream abt that. I'm dfkjfbkjghkgf
Adora can't remember the last time she's spoken this much. Her jaw hurts from the effort, and her cheeks ache, having smiled far too much for far too long. It doesn't bother her, really, given that it's because of Catra. 
She's so irrationally happy it's almost funny. Actually, it is funny, because Catra laughed when Adora snorted, so it must be. This is nothing new, the tree branch beneath her hands, hard wood digging into her thighs, the cold wind blowing at her face as she shoves leaves away, but it all feels precious. She feels drunk. Drunk not on alcohol (though she's sure Catra is), but rather on happiness.
Laughter bubbling up inside of her, too much to contain, her grin never faltering as she leans onto Catra. It's too much. The happiness, it's overflowing, too much to contain within her body. It doesn't matter, she doesn't care. They're young and stupid, this is what they're supposed to be doing. Getting drunk and looking at the sky, sitting on a random tree in the Whispering Woods, trying to form shapes and constellations. 
"Mara,"  Catra had murmured when Adora had told her how the stars were shaped like a woman, and Adora had immediately wanted to kiss her. That's been happening a lot lately, her being overcome with the urge to kiss Catra. Almost everything Catra does makes Adora want to kiss her.
She stares at Catra, now, and wonders for the umpteenth time that night how she's able to breathe when Catra looks like that. Her hair blows slightly with the wind, the short strands somehow falling perfectly into place, unlike her own, which get in her mouth and on her eyes every so often. 
The sun has set a long time ago, but the little torch they hold illuminates them both well enough. Adora almost wishes it didn't. Almost.
Catra's hair is like chocolate, dark strands twisting and merging with the others, her hair different shades due to the light, soft and fluffy, and Adora has to fight the urge to reach out and touch them. Her skin glows under the torchlight, the harsh yellow of it soft on her features, tanned warm skin looking so beautiful she wants to cry. Catra, everything about her is just so right and so perfect it makes her want to cry. The light only exaggerates her lashes, their shadows clearly visible on her cheek as she blinks slowly, tired. Blue and yellow eyes shine, one like liquid gold, gleaming in the dark, and the other as though someone has taken the sky and placed it in her eyes. Her eyes contain the whole world. Adora turns pink, suddenly shy. She feels like a child with a crush. 
She continues admiring Catra, staring shamelessly. She's confessed now, hasn't she, despite the whole ordeal being so painful? She has a right to stare.
She stares at the slope of Catra's neck, the dark material covering it, hugging her skin. She stares at the bare skin of Catra's arms, the two marks on her bicep and the slight muscles. She's more lean than muscular. She looks small, too, arms wrapped around her knees, hugging them to her chest.
Small. Catra isn't small-the word just doesn't fit her.
Vertically challenged, Adora muses.
She stares a little more than necessary at Catra's cleavage. It isn't her fault; she's practised years of restraint. Just a peak shouldn't hurt (she can practically hear Glimmer mocking her, even in her head, for how pathetically whipped she is). The suit cinches at the waist, and Adora stares at that for a long time too. She wants to hug Catra from behind, she wants to wrap an arm around that waist, maybe just hold it. She needs to stop. 
But it's been years since she's been happy with Catra. Sometimes, when she was in the rebellion, she dreaded it. She hated Bow and she hated Glimmer and she hated herself for hating them, but maybe if they were a little cruel, a little evil, a little bit like anything they Horde had told her that they were, maybe she wouldn't have left Catra. Maybe she and Catra could've been happy. It's futile, she knows it is, and incredibly selfish, too, but maybe they both would've been spared a lot of pain had they both just stayed put. 
She glances at Catra again, who's staring back at her. Catra grins at her, and Adora beams back, her smile dopey and huge. Catra's smile makes her happy, everything about Catra makes her happy. Funny, that is, before all Catra managed to do was make her sad. Sad, upset, and guilty. Guilty for leaving her behind, knowing that Catra's pride and hurt would never let her turn her back on the Horde, guilty for hurting her, knowing there was no other way.
She's filled with a strange feeling. It's more than happiness, more than anything, she watches the way Catra's nimble fingers tear at the peel of the fruit in front of her, the little sparkle of wonder in her eyes as she bites into it. Catra has recently discovered what fruit is, and she is obsessed. Wait until she finds out about cake. 
She smiles when Catra's tongue peeks out, a quick flash of pink, to lick the juice from her lips and she purrs, her whole body vibrating. All the pain she's been through is worth it, she thinks, if it's for Catra. 
She wants to be with her so badly it hurts. She wants to hug her and kiss her and hold her hand and talk with her for hours, and she wants to make up for lost time and shower her with love all the time to make up for the times she couldn't. She just wants to touch her. She wants to trace her fingers up and down her spine, lift her up and spin her in circles, she wants to be wrapped up in her as she rests, she wants to hold her so badly it aches her. She wonders if that's a little pathetic of her. 
She remembers the kiss they shared at the Heart of Etheria, it was a gentle press of lips, more than a peck but not a full-on make-out session either. She wants to recreate it again, she wants to press herself flush against Catra, wants to feel her soft lips under her own, wants to run a hand through her hair and wrap another around her waist. She wants to kiss her so bad it hurts. 
She's too scared to do it, though. 
She reaches for her hand instead. Catra's palm meets her halfway, their hands awkwardly trying to slot themselves into place, hungry for the intimacy. They don't fit right in perfectly on the first try, rather, Catra's nail scratches the side of her palm, and it takes them a minute to adjust themselves. It's worth it, though, at the end, when Catra slightly squeezes Adora's hand, and Adora swears her heart skips a beat. 
Catra turns to look at her, and smiles slowly, hesitantly. Adora smirks back.
"Aw, you totally have a crush on me," she says, teasing, because she doesn't know how to be sappy and sweet and romantic with Catra, because that isn't them, and because she likes the way Catra's ears turn red and her tail spikes up, "How embarrassing, "
Catra bristles, "We're literally dating!" she exclaims, glaring at Adora in mock annoyance.
Adora sighs, the stupid smirk still on her face, "Still,"
She looks at Catra, still grinning, and she can hear the blood rushing in her ears and her heart pounding in her chest, threatening to claw out of her ribcage and come out. She's sure Catra can hear it, too. Dammit. 
She's afraid she'll do something she regrets, she's afraid she'll kiss Catra. She chooses to focus on the soft way Catra's ears are shaped, mentally repeating the same mantra: do not kiss her.  She thinks she'll do it anyway, and the thought scares her. And then Catra kisses her. 
Or, rather, Catra leans in for a kiss, and Adora's brain malfunctions. She doesn't know how to kiss a girl. How does it even work? Is a girl's mouth different than a boy's (although she's never kissed a boy, either, but she's sure it's a lot simpler than kissing Catra)? She panics, and then does what anybody else in her place would do, she slams her face into Catra's. Catra gasps before they're both set off-balance, hurtling to the floor and off the tree branch they sat on at full speed. 
Catra yelps, grabbing onto Adora's hand as her other one grips the branch. They're dangling off the branch with only Catra's hand holding them up.
Adora gapes up at the branch, then squints, "Is that a mouse?"
Catra squeaks, terrified, letting go of the branch in a panic, and they both come crashing down. Fuck. 
Adora groans in pain, and barely registers Catra on top of her until she feels her move. 
"Ow," Catra huffs, then looks down at her, smirking, thankfully not upset and rather amused. "Hey Adora,"
Adora clears her throat, "Hi,"
"Why so aggresive?" she asks, head tilted to the side as she stares at her intently. 
Adora's grateful that she isn't standing up, because she's sure that her knees would buckle if she was, "Um, I-"
"You know," Catra drawls, "If you don't want to kiss me, you could just say so instead of slamming my teeth in with your head, we all take time to-"
"No!" Adora grabs at Catra's hands, wincing slightly at the pain that shoots up her side at the sudden movement, "No, no, no. I don't-it's not like that! I do want to kiss you, I want to so bad but I don't know how to kiss a girl, you know? And I don't want to disappoint you and..." she trails off when Catra chuckles pressing a chaste kiss at her temple.
Adora gulps, the nervousness crawling back as she tries to control her breathing. At this rate, she's going to end up hyperventilating and huffing and puffing into their fucking kiss. 
"My love, you're a horrible kisser," Catra mutters quietly, tracing the outline of Adora's face, finger gently brushing against her skin. Adora, pathetically, tries to inch up, to kiss her again to prove otherwise.
"Am not, I'll show you-" Catra cuts her off, pressing herself down on Adora, lips firmly planted on hers as she runs a hand through Adora's hair, fingers slipping through the golden locks. Catra's lips are soft above hers, and she registers how Catra tastes vaguely sweet, like the fruit she was eating, but more than that she tastes so much like Catra it's overwhelming. She pulls back after a long time, and Adora stares up at her, grinning goofily.
"I love you,"
Catra grins at that, pink dusting her cheeks, "I love you too. And I stand by my earlier statement, you're a horrible kisser," She smiles wider at Adora's little huff, and leans down again, lips ghosting over hers, "Don't worry, we can practice,"
