Catradora x gn! Reader - By staying and by knowing

A/n: I couldn't not write this once I got the idea

Summary: You've always been there for Catra, even after Adora left you were the one who stayed. Even if you didn't know what was out there or that the horde was wrong, it still killed you a little inside knowing that you hadn't left with her.

Warnings: Allusions to sex at the start, mentions of deaths of children and innocent people multiple times, swearing, instated that the three of them were together at one point, might write a part 2, kind of toxic relationship(s), I think that's it? You have been warned!

The three P's:

[Pronouns: You/you] [Pov: Second pov] [Pairings: (romantic) Catra x reader, (romantic) adora x reader, (past romantic) Poly! catradora x reader]

Takes place around season four

Catra's footsteps echoed off the hard concert floor as she basically pranced up to your side nearly giggling giddily as she threw her arms around you.

You smiled, it was so rare to see Catra so happy these days, after Adora had left the Fright Zone for good she usually was always seen in a deary mood. It didn't matter what you did, bring her her favorite foods, or cuddle her when she looked down, she never seemed satisfied with you. Only when you won against the rebellion did she ever even seem slightly joyous.

"What's got you in such a good mood?" You chuckled as she purred quietly when your hands run through her hair as she nuzzled your neck.

"Nothing important..." Catra trailed off as a mischievous hand wandered up your shirt.

"I doubt that." You scoffed as you felt her hand go lower, and lower...

"Catra!" You gasped.

"Then don't doubt me darling and let's get to my room."

___________________

You woke up cold, without a blanket covering you. Sitting up you quickly realized the blanket had fallen to the ground, and that Catra had left.

After standing up and flicking on a light you found a note on the bed next to where she was supposed to be sleeping.

On a mission to capture the princess's, will be back soon with a victory ;)

Catra

Your hand squished the note before tearing it to shreds.

She always did this! Leaving you alone, going on missions, then coming back and sending you on some more. The more the cycle ran through again, the more you couldn't help but feel used.

And lied to.

The truth is, you didn't know what was out there! For all you knew the princess's were right and the horde was in the wrong! But you banished those thoughts from your head instantly, Catra had always told you what was out there. Although, you've never gone on missions out of the Fright Zone and never against anything big.

So you really didn't know what was out there. To be fair, no ones ever told you Catra has been lying to you, they'll never comment, but they don't object.

You didn't even realize your eyes were welling up with tears before your vision started to get blurry. No, you could not cry, you weren't allowed to.

Subconsciously half moons were forming on the palms of your hands from squeezing them so hard.

Then there was a knock at your door.

In a split second the water in your eyes was gone with a blink and a neutral expression had been drawn on your face.

"Yes?" You opened the door to see an very happy Lonnie with Kyle by her side.

"We got them," She laughed.

Your brows frowned in confusion.

"We captured those fucking princess's."

Oh, they really did do it. Why weren't you happy, why wasn't joy filling your veins as you fully realized that the horde had finally contained the mad princess's?

Catra had helped contain them.

Something here wasn't right, maybe the only way to know the truth would be seeing one of the princess's and hear them talk?

"Take me to them."

A sly smirk crossed Lonnie's features. "That's just what I'm here for, Catra wants you there for interrogation."

____________________

"Catra?" You murmured a bit afraid as you approached the cells.

"Over here!" She yelled almost gleefully as you turned around to where she was over by the door of an extremely contained cell with no glass to see through, and the entire thing nearly made out of complete steel.

Grabbing your hand she squeezed it almost as if saying she was there for you. It gave you some comfort, and your original mission that you had put yourself on as soon as you heard Lonnie's words nearly disappeared from your mind. Not quite though.

"You have to be careful and be on your guard as soon as you get in there okay?" Catra's voice slithered. "Don't trust a word they say, and remember they will try and play the victim don't feed into it. The princess's are just a bunch of power hungry manics that don't understand control, alright?"

You didn't get the chance to even answer her question before she eagerly opened the door.

Most of the princess's were there, well you assumed most maybe even all of them. As there were six there, plus two men one with a red bandanna and one with a heart on his shirt with his stomach showing. (You didn't really think that would be great for battle.) And then there was-

Adora.

Oh, you've forgotten how much you missed her. Her blonde hair was tied up a bit frizzled, scratches all over her, chained to the wall, yet she was still as gorgeous as you remember her. Also she was still in her former horde uniform.

You wondered if it reminded her of when the three of you were all together. When life was much simpler, and when you were truly happy.

Then there was her eyes, her bluebell, nearly grey eyes. That was something of Adora that you would never forget, her beautiful eyes.

Catra did most of the talking, you managed to keep your neutral face through everything while blocking out what Catra was saying. You were not ready for seeing Adora after all this time, so there was no way you could have prepared yourself to make coherent words that weren't a mess.

So you didn't say a word, in fear that you would say something that was hilariously stupid, or something Catra didn't want to hear.

"I have to get someone to watch over them, there's no way we can leave them alone. Not even in a cell like this." Catra muttered, as she gritted her teeth.

Now she was angry again, great.

"I can watch them."

Catra whipped her head around as her yellow and turquoise eyes stared down at you. For a second you couldn't help but revel in her gaze even if she was trying to figure you out. Meaning that she didn't totally trust you, which yes, it hurt, but maybe she's been lying to you.

Maybe you should be questioning your trust in her.

Yet she didn't ask you if you were up for the job, she only analyzed before speaking. "Thanks, I really need a break from them."

Smiling at her as she opened the door only for her to pause on the way out.

"Oh, and come see me after okay? I want to read that new book with you."

Then the door shut and you were officially alone with the people from the Rebellion.

You didn't say anything, Catra's words had left an imprint on you. She was never so vulnerable in front of others, never so affectionate. To someone else those words might seem so insignificant, but to you they meant the world.

Too bad you didn't want the world, you wanted Catra fully and whole. That meant you needed the truth.

"Why did you leave."

You don't look at her, you think you just might break if you look at Adora.

"Don't talk to-" The Princess you were pretty sure was named Glimmer growled at you before Adora shook her head.

"I didn't want to leave you or Catra."

Those words, those words were the ones you needed to hear, the closer you never had after never talking to Catra about Adora leaving.

"You didn't?"

"I left the horde, not you- not you guys."

Finally you turned to her and as the tears ran down your cheeks. The tears that had been held in for years.

"It was terrible when you left." You sobbed, chocking on your words. "Catra got so angry, just all the time, and shadow weaver was relentless when she was here. Hordack is just here, I'm not even sure if he's running the place anymore, and no one tells me anything I just-"

You whimper and cover your face with your hands as you break down in front of most of the leaders of the Rebellion.

"I'm sorry Y/n, I truly am I just couldn't stand for the horde! They're horrible, killing innocent people and slaughtering towns because they just want more power!"

You didn't even question Adora's words, she said them so passionately that you knew them to be true. That was another thing you love about Adora, her passion and her morality for good. After everything is over you're sure Adora would be the one left standing for good after everyone else has fallen.

"Y/n please, please let us go. You can come with us and-"

"I love Catra." You suddenly interject.

"I'm not going to just follow your merry group and abandon her as you people use me to get you out of here then lock me up as soon as your out. I can't leave Catra, it would destroy her if I left."

Adora gazed up at you with concern and desperation in her beautiful eyes. "It's destroying you."

______________

You didn't speak a word to Adora or the rest of them after that, although you were the one who would take shifts with some other soldiers watching over the princess's. Though you were always silent when you did.

You knew what the horde was doing was wrong, of course it was. However you were still torn, Adora or Catra, Catra or...

You wished you could have them both like you used to. You wished that you loving them both wouldn't break you as they tore you in half.

You reached your breaking point when Catra came back grinning and boasting about attacking a fortress town near Brightmoon. Though you really knew it was a civilian town.

How could she boast about killing children and innocent people like that? How could she still have a clean conscious after everything?

So when you opened the door to the cell you let yourself speak.

"Could you protect them."

Adora answered almost eagerly to your question even if she didn't know what it entailed. "What?"

"Would you focus on protecting the children and the innocent with she-ra instead of using her against the horde."

"I can't just not fight the horde."

Shaking your head your heart accelerated knowing the answer to your next question would decide her fate.

"I'm not saying don't fight them, but if you used she-ra primarily with helping the villages and towns hit by the horde couldn't you save more lives? While the other princess's could attack the horde and you would help them only on the huge battles?"

"I would." Adora answers without hesitation.

"Promise me." You whisper into the cold air, water dampening your cheeks for a second time.

"I promise."

Pulling the sword from behind your back you place it in Adora's hands as she looks at you in shock.

"I can't-"

"Go."

You don't hear her yell the words for her transformation as you fall to the ground sobbing yet again in a cell.

And there was Adora, glowing in all her glory in she-ra form.

She crouches down to pull you into her arms.

"I think you're prettier when you're just Adora." You grumble, spouting off mindless sentences as she engulfs you with her arms.

Chuckling sadly she storks your hair, "Come with us, I can't just leave you. Not again."

The tears flow down your face even faster as you look up at her, "Go Adora, leave. Someone needs to be here for Catra."

Adora shakes her head; "She'll go livid when she finds out you let us go."

"That's why I'm here, to give you guys time to escape."

"Adora!" The boy with the heart shirt yells. "We have to go!"

"I'll come back for you." She stands up leaving you crumpled on the floor.

"Don't."

Nobody answers as Glimmer opens the door and the princess's file out one by one.

"Adora wait!" You yell.

"I love you."

When the door shuts you weep because in the end you betrayed them both, by staying and by knowing.

So cute lil headcanon/au time!

ok so

does EVERYONE know the rock that catradora found in the Horde scrapyard

its a blue rock and Catra's like, "it matches your eyes" and Adora is really gay in this moment and decides to keep this rock with her as a good luck charm and also to remind her of how much she cares for catra

well she doesnt keep the rock in canon thats where it goes into headcanon

the rock is actually amazonite

And Adora keeps it in the rebellion

And Adora tells She-Ra about this crystal and how much it means to her because esentially it was a gift from Catra

And She-Ra's like, 'I know how much this means to you, why don't you make it into a necklace so you can keep it at all times?"

And Adora agrees and boom its a lil wirewrapped crystal necklace and Adora keeps it tucked under her shirt wherever she goes

Catra has no idea she even kept the damn thing

Adora sleeps with it too

she never takes it off except to shower

She-Ra thinks its adorable that Adora kept something like this from the horde

Adora keeps it tucked in battle cuz she doesnt want catra to see because shes actually really embarrassed about it so even telling shera was a sign of trust

Adora gets sad when she sees the necklace but she cant bring herself to not have it with her always

Eventually she loses it in the crystal castle

And she is DEVASTATED

She cant find it anywhere, she's searching desperately for hours with tears in her eyes, its her only connection she has to Catra

eventually she gives up when its like 2 in the morning and She-Ra has to carry her to

Brightmoon

to get som fuckin sleep

But Adora cant sleep without it

cuddles do get her to sleep if only for a little while

A few months later

She-Ra comes in with a gift box, and Adora is curious as to what's inside

She-Ra presents it to her with a shy smile, gently asking her to open it, and Adora takes the box gingerly, setting it in her lap and unwrapping the lil bow it had on it

When she opens the box she physically gasps, its her necklace! She cries almost immediately and gives She-Ra the biggest hug and lots of sobbing thank yous and saying how much it means to her that she retrieved it

the headcanon is that Adora keeps the rock as her good luck charm/her connection to Catra, the au is the rest

(Here's the shade of amazonite for reference, it's almost the same color as Adora's eyes!)

NEVERMIND SHE DID KEEP IT IM SCREAMIGNJFJCIEBSAHAHAUWHSSJSHSJ

You know that I’ve noticed how female creators will create a relationship between two characters with obvious power imbalance where one character is visibly uncomfortable and suffering under the another character who treats like shit yet keeps insisting that these two are totally in love and there’s nothing wrong with their relationship whatsoever which they’ll get mad when you point out the flaws of said relationship like this happens with both straight romances to gay pairs with Viv’s stolitz and catradora, Seriously why do these female creators think it’s most romantic dynamic ever??

Your guess is as good as mine, although the creator of she ra now goes by Nate and he/him pronouns. so I definitely think this isn’t just a female creator thing. Many male writers do this stuff too. They make the disgust and fear there to encourage the audience to say to themselves “haha they secretly want this” which I find very sinister. Reylo also comes to mind.

That is because sometimes, writers think the change from intense drama and angst —> soft cuddles and love equates to good writing. In reality it actually doesn’t. Dramatic stakes and pain doesn’t make the sudden change to plove more beautiful. But all it really does is send you on an adrenaline high as a viewer, and when that fades it leaves you feeling a bit confused on what just happened.
