Another great use of a line from the show. “Adora doesn’t want me like I want her.”

One thing I absolutely love about this chapter is how it’s all about Glimmer being a loving, supportive sister. I loved her and Adora’s talk about being gay and bi. I loved Glimmer sharing her coming-out story and how they tried to figure out Adora’s feelings for Catra. And I totally called her and Bow catching on that Adora likes Catra. And I’m so glad they’re willing to be supportive and say they would be cute together.

I have one tiny problem in how long it takes Adora to pick up on what Glimmer is talking about. One guess I could understand, but two guesses is pushing it a tiny bit. I just don’t like when Adora is portrayed as an idiot. But it was done for comedic effect because it had Glimmer’s little outburst, so I can give it a pass. It’s not a big deal. Just a little constructive criticism.

Reading about Catra being so protective of Adora made me really happy. I love reading fanfics where Catra is good to her and treats her well. Watching the show and seeing how much she hurts Adora and puts her through so much kind of makes it hard to like her and root for them to get together.

And their whole backstory here really drives home how much they mean to each other, how much they need each other, and why they would feel so safe in each other’s arms.

Sort of an odd headcanon I had: when I imagined Shadow Weaver having male friends, I was imagining them being He-Man villains Beast Man, Tri-Klops and Trap Jaw, with Beast Man being the one who hurt Adora. I know the identity of these guys doesn’t really matter. Just a thought I felt like sharing.

I’m probably wrong, but my guess is the mystery girl is Lonnie. Mermista is my 2nd guess. The text kind of sounds like her carefree attitude. Guess I’ll have to keep reading to find out.

That note at the end of the chapter makes me so nervous for what’s coming. Can’t wait to read more!

Aw so many feels as Catra read the letters!

I like how Light Hope was telling Adora to “Let Go,” just like in the show. And then it comes around at the end of this chapter when Adora says to herself ‘I never want to let her go.’

I love the fluff of them sleeping together, whispering to each other, clinging to each other.

All these thoughts going through her head, how she keeps acting around Catra and how they snuggle in the car, how Adora hates to be without her. The reader can definitely sense that Adora loves Catra by now, even if Adora herself doesn’t know it yet. And I think Bow and Glimmer can see it too. I wonder if they’ll say anything and try to help her out...

Aw and they’re all so happy at the mall, all having fun together! Warms my heart. ...Definitely the calm before the storm. Something bad will happen sooner or later. Not sure what, since all 4 of them are getting along so well now. Guess I’ll have to keep reading to find out...

I love this chapter and I love this story!

I was worried at first that something bad would happen that would lead to drama and angst during the movie nightsleepover, like there would be an argument or outburst or confrontation. I’m relieved that that didn’t happen. I really can see that Catra, Glimmer and Bow are getting along and putting the past behind them.

Aw so much pinning for each other! And a little gay panic thrown in there lol.

I loved the part where Glimmer woke up Adora and they were playing around in her room. I love that loving bond they have as sisters! So wholesome!

I loved Catra teasing Glimmer about liking Bow.

I loved everyone’s reactions to Saw! I use to love those movies. Lol Catra teasing Bow about it!

Can’t wait for next chapter and for Catra to see the letters!

I liked picturing Catra just sitting there in science, daydreaming about Adora, a dumb lovestruck smile on her face.

I like how Adora is keeping Catra in line and getting her to go to class and be a better student. Sort of like Scorpia, but obviously Adora is motivating her is more effective.

Definitely seeing some of Catra's self-destructive tendencies here, how she's pushing her friends away rather than just explain to them what's going on with Adora. And the fear of Adora's new friends taking her away, and being really possessive of Adora.

Loved Scorpia putting her foot down and making Cat and Lonnie work together on the science project.

I forgot to say in the last chapter:
Adora: Holds Catra's hand, loves her smell, hates to be away from her, feels her legs during art class, and now in this chapter wishes to cuddle with her in bed.
Also Adora: "Of course we're friends. What else would we be?"
Oh you poor oblivious girl.

I like how Catra is already aware of her feelings for Adora here and Adora doesn't yet realize hers until later. It's just like in the show.

It was cool seeing Entrapta!

I sense a little jealousy from Glimmer regarding Bow spending time with Entrapta. It reminds me of how she felt when Bow went to Princess Prom with Perfuma in the show. Same energy.

I love Adora trying to comfort Glimmer.

Uh-oh, so everything is not completely smooth between Catra and Glimmer. Definitely get the sense that Catra intentionally stole Adora from Glimmer.

I love that Adora appreciates that Glimmer is trying to support her and Catra.

Loved this sweet, fluffy chapter. So much delicious Catradora fluff! The seeds of romance are already starting to bloom! I love how Catra wanted to hold hands on the walk home. I loved how after texting Catra, Adora was so happy and had no trouble sleeping.

I liked in the beginning when Bow suggested Catra go to the mall with them. It's nice to see that he and Glimmer are so willing to give Catra a chance for Adora's sake.

I can understand the girls are still struggling with their trauma, but I kind of wish Catra was honest with Miranda about how she knew Adora. I'm a little surprised in the 7 years she's been living with Miranda, never mentioned Adora even once. Part of me was expecting Miranda to say something like, "So this is the famous Adora you keep talking about?" I guess I can understand both of them wanting to talk about their past as little as possible. And you did say that they're both still struggling with trusting adults. And I can see that Miranda is trying to be understanding of Catra's trauma and so is giving her leeway and not pressing her too much.

I was thinking about in the previous chapter how she she left for work, Miranda said "I love you." and Catra didn't say it back until the door closed. That's really sad and heart wrenching. If that was your intention with that, good job.

"She didn't want to leave Adora's side. Not now. Not ever again." My heart melted!

The reunion was so sweet! The tackle, the holding hands, both wanting to know if the other was in a safe home. I love it!

Already the drama is starting.

I like how Catra tried to convince Adora to skip school with her, and Adora chose not to. It mirrors Catra wanting Adora to stay with her in the Horde but Adora does what's right. Even more so because I can see how it would give Catra the impression that Adora was choosing Glimmer over her, how Catra was afraid Glimmer would poison Adora against her.

I'm glad Glimmer softened a little after learning Catra and Adora were in the same foster home.

I'm looking forward to finding out exactly what Catra had done to Bow and Glimmer. I'm wondering if she's genuinely ashamed of her past actions or if she's just acting that way to win Adora over, to drive a wedge between Adora and her new friends. I'm sure more will be revealed soon enough.

Well hell, it's about time that Catra melt that icy cold attitude of hers. Glad that she was found from the awful snowstorm by Adora. And thanks to Fang, the cat - Adora and Catra are together again!

Thanks for this and Happy New Year!

Funny thing: At first I thought Catra's new foster mom was going to be abusive like Shadow Weaver was. Thought she was being mean, demanding Catra get out of bed, but then she tickled her awake and my heart melted! Really had me fooled there. lol

Aw and she has a cat! So perfect!

Her mom is kind of a softie, letting Catra get away with ditching school like this.

I love how Scorpia is adamant about getting Catra to school, bringing her homework and trying to keep her in line at school. I get the feeling if it weren't for Scorpia, Catra would be in a much worse place at school. And I love when Scorp carries Miranda into bed. So heartwarming. It all shows how close Cat and Scorp are, almost like sisters.

Haha makes sense that Scorp is the one who wiped out on the skateboard yesterday, being so big and muscular and not that agile.

New girl in Scorp's weight class must be Adora.

Sensing a little toxicity in how Cat doesn't really listen to or care about Scorp's day, just like the Cat we all love to hate from the show.

Reunion next chapter! Can't wait! :)

Of course no She-ra high school fic would be complete without at least one chapter of the BFS hanging out at the mall! :)

Adora running around fawning over the pets was cute. Kinda reminds me of how she acted at her first party in Thaymor in the show.

Aw! Some feels when Adora was going through her old letters. I'm also wondering what photos are in that album. Is it all more Catra and Adora together? Or some other things? I'm sure it will be addressed in the future.

I think you did a great job working in Catra and Adora's shared trauma into this au.

I completely agree that as a child Catra would bite an adult who was trying to literally drag her away from Adora.

So sad that they were separated by the social workers and police. I don't know if that would happen in real life; two abused foster kids found in the same home being separated like that. I get that they needed to be separated for the sake of the plot here so I won't make a big fuss about it. Of course I don't want to sound harsh or critical, just sharing all my thoughts.

I am loving this story a lot. Can't wait for Catra and Adora to catch up!

A whole week cooped up at home? Never leaving the house? I find that a little unrealistic. Just one weekend seems better. It could have been just the one weekend and the story would have continued on the same. Or if it was a week, it would have been a great time for Glimmer or Angella or both of them to show Adora around town when they weren't working or at school. It's not a huge deal, just a thought I had on how to improve this.

LOL Glimmer's driving scaring Adora! XD

Yay the Best Friend Squad is together! Glad Bow and Adora hit it off so well. And I love that Glimmer already thinks of Adora as a sister. :)

I'm guessing the stern, growling history teacher is Hordak.

I am LOVING this story so far! I love high school and modern world AUs of She-Ra! Don't know why exactly. Maybe because it feels like a nice break from all the angst and drama in the show. I love seeing the characters and elements from the show being put into the modern setting. Different writers come up with great ideas for it, putting different characters in different roles. And I love stories about Angella adopting Adora, Adora and Glimmer being sisters and all three of them being a family! :)

I like how in the first chapter, Adora wasn't entirely comfortable being spoiled and receiving all those gifts from Angella, sort of like in the show when she first moved to Brightmoon and wasn't use to living luxuriously.

The part where the three of them played Uno really warmed my heart. I love how Adora was having so much fun she let down her guard and came out of her shell a little.

I'm looking forward to reading more, seeing where this story goes and what you do with all the characters here.

Wow I did not expect this ... I wake up and Boom! another chapter! Thank you for the fluff, it was so adorable to read! Can't wait for the next update 3
12/26/2020 c25 daydream-with-me
I love, love, LOVE this story! I finished the whole thing during the last like 24 hours or so and now I can't wait for the next update! I hope Catra will overcome her stubbornness and just talk about her feelings for once and I hope Adora can forgive her for not doing that before ... oh and I can't wait for the classic warming the other up/cuddling scene after Catra basically freezing to death (if you decide to write such a scene of course ). And thank you very much for including the trigger warnings at the start of each chapter, they really help! Anyway, long story short, this story is amazing and I can't wait for the next chapter!
P.S. Did Catra ever find the cake and the gift Adora got her for her birthday? I'd love if you could include an answer to that somehow ;)

I love the story! I'm glad to see you addressing the issue of child neglect/abuse and the impact it can have years later. I've enjoyed the interactions of the characters. Looking forward to more to come!
