Fan Fiction Friday #308 Actually On Time! - 9/5/25

[u/The_Last_Thursday]

Hello, fellow She-Ra fans! This is Fan Fiction Friday, a place to discuss any fan fiction you have read or written throughout the week.

Please leave a link and a brief description of any fic you are reading so others can read along too. Thank you!

[u/The_Last_Thursday]

Running Home (To Your Sweet Nothings) - catrasredemption(demensionhoppingrose) - The truth was, Adora wasn’t sure. She liked the illusion she had now, where her secret admirer was someone sensitive and caring and pretty and cared enough to continue crafting elegant letters for her even after entire summers apart. Was that weird?

Adora gets letters from a secret admirer and the whole thing is just the cutest.

Etheria and the Federation - Ode to what could have been Part one of an alternate history where the Horde had yet to completely crush all of their opposition in the Universe. After saving Catra from Prime's grasp the Best Friend Squad begin a daring escape. They are rescued by a Pirate captain who takes them in and explains that the Galaxy still resists the Horde.

For a Short Fic I read the fun Stuck in an Elevator in which Adora and Catra miss a dinner because of faulty architecture in the Crystal Castle.

I also just finished a re-read of the absolutely fantastic but very smut filled Tonight Will be the Night (that I fall for you) with Horde Lord Adora having taken the throne from Hordak, and Princess Catra the rebellions lead tactician, after a brief encounter at princess prom start a tumultuous affair and both agree they are not going to catch feelings, right?

I have also read the arranged Marriage fic Marriage of Convenience where newly found She-Ra Adora must go to halfmoon to secure an alliance via an arranged marriage with the Princess Catra.

For another cute one shot set in a Modern AU, The Problem with School Reunions has Catra return to her high school for a ten year reunion, trying to avoid her old rival Adam Greyskull, but who is the Blonde Bombshell being all shy in the Corner.

Finally, I suppose I better mention my own fic, She-Ra: Pillars of Etheria, an AU of the She-ra universe mixed with the Lancer TTRPG setting, in which the Princesses have magic mech suits, and the horde have their own far worse but more abundant mechs, but how will the addition of She-Ra the most powerful mech to ever be created change the tied of the war. And how will Adora and Catra cope with being on opposite sides of a far more vicious war.

thanks The_Last_Thursday for hosting again :)

thanks babe by plentytolovepanda - Sparkles clears her throat and wags a finger in the direction of the grocery bags. “Did you fix my bread?” So apparently she hasn’t forgotten about that. You’d think she would be much easier going considering the perfect life she has: shopping at Whole Foods on a Sunday morning with the hottest woman Catra has ever seen. What she would give to have Sparkles life. - Or, a Valentine's day fic where Catra pines after Adora.

she pays the whole by queenmillicentofbystander - Catra needs a date, Adora needs help with her homework, and they both deserve to feel wanted.

promises to keep by resflower -Catra and Adora are best friends since high school who accidentally marry each other. Accidentally Married AU.

unhinged instagram lives era chap 9 by n7punk - Welcome to the infinite fic. XANA dropped a song again. You know the drill. I’m never calling that shit X <3 Doing the social media formatting I normally do takes so much time I just don’t have right now so take the simplified style I used in the Reddit chapter.

love, your romeo by praxiteles - “That’s really fucking creepy” Glimmer says with a grimace. She folds her arms over her chest as if it can protect her from the letter . Adora quickly holds the paper out of view. When Glimmer raises and eyebrow at her she ducks her burning face behind her locker door. “I think it's kinda sweet,” Adora says, she carefully folds the letter back in its envelope. Glimmer looks at her like she’s eaten a fucking frog. “'I would kill everyone here and then myself for you'” Glimmer slowly closes her locker, “you think that's sweet?”

a pictures worth by resflower - Catradora friends to lovers via a sexy lingerie photo. Mostly smut focused although there is plot.

embrace the blame (love the fall) by n7punk - College was supposed to be life-changing, but Adora wasn’t ready to change. Catra couldn’t keep living like their parents raised them, so she did the only thing she could: she left. She found new friends, and though she loves Glimmer and Bow, she never really moved on. After long enough apart to grow – she hopes, anyway – she runs into Adora again in a hallway. Adora lost her friend and lost her purpose, but it turns out that’s how she found herself. She’s ready to chase Catra until they either fix themselves or prove once and for all it will never work. She kind of really needs it to work, though, because she has realized a lot of things since Catra left and one of them is that she never knew what love was before. (Swapped Friend Groups AU, but really it’s just two hurt kids finding their way in the world)

our love is god by n7punk - Adora and Catra stopped speaking not long after they graduated from their acting college and Adora took off on Broadway while Catra struggled to get her foot in the door. Catra used to fantasize about getting to stand opposite Adora on the stage, but two years later playing her love interest sounds more like a nightmare than a dream, even if this musical could finally put her on the map. Adora just wants Catra to stop acting like she’s actually the villain off-stage, but she’s not sure a musical about death is somewhere real love can bloom again. (Heathers on Broadway Catradora AU)

if the ring fits by augustren - Adora and Catra have been dating for five years. In those five years, they've built a beautiful life together, with a great apartment and amazing group of friends. They'd discussed marriage before, but there hadn't been any proposal planning from either side just yet. At least Catra thought so until Adora tried measuring her ring finger as she slept.

besties by rabenkater - “So, you know Spinny and Tossa, they're best friends like us”, Adora refers to two senior girls, just a year or so older than her and Catra. “Yeah Adora, I know them.” Catra still hasn't looked up, and so Adora barrels ahead. “Yesterday I saw them kissing under the bleachers. And, uh, since they're best friends and we are best friends I... wanted to know if that's something that you would want to do."

and my own fic, all these nuts, finally brought us together - Catra has been trying for years to get Adora's attention, to no avail. She's finally ready to give up, but that doesn't mean she's going to let anyone else date Adora. Imagine her surprise when the stunt she pulls to ruin Adora's date with some woman, results in Adora finally calling her out on her bullshit.
