Summary
Broke, desperate, and utterly out of fucks to give, Catra applies for a job she is catastrophically unqualified for. The listing is vague, the questions are weird, and her answers are a masterpiece of nihilistic honesty. She clicks ‘submit,’ closes her laptop, and expects another automated rejection.
She doesn't expect the black car that shows up on her street.
She doesn't expect the private jet.
And she really doesn't expect what comes next.(A story about a woman who wants to burn down the system, the last person she ever wanted to see again handing her the matches, and the terrifying, glorious gamble of telling the truth.)

Summary
“She has nowhere to run here. Release the bonds.” SheRa ordered again. This time, more firmly.
Catra imagined she could kill the empress. Just like that. It was the first thought that occurred to her as a former general of the Horde. But as a mother, all she thought about was an opportunity to return to Finn.AU:
A refugee arrives at the palace with a baby and many secrets.
The empress decides to take her in—perhaps because she too carries a secret that still consumes her.Bookmarked by 2catscreeper

Summary
Adora clears her throat. "Catra D'riluth, you're wanted in over twenty-two planets for theft, fraud, deceit, trafficking, and other crimes against the Spatial Planetary Alliance. You've broken neutrality protection by engaging in a crime on the Etherian Space Station. You are under arrest under orders of Commander Glimmer."
“I like how you say my name.” She says casually. Adora thinks she might swallow her own tongue, unsure what to say in the face of Catra’s blazing eyes. Catra stands up from her chair, effortless and graceful as ever. "Cuff me, princess. Let's see how well that turns out for you."
"I don't know what you are up to, but you won't be getting out of here if it isn't in handcuffs with me." Adora regains some ability to speak.
"Is that a promise?" She grins openly.

Summary
"Why did you like it?" Adora's eyes look paler than usual. "The raid."
Because the captain can't follow through on her threats to put Catra through the airlock if she's useful. Because she's trained to do this for years, even when only Adora thought she could, and now she can prove everyone else wrong. Because when she's standing over someone foolish enough to get within her reach, the blood on her hands isn't her own.
"Because it was fun," Catra whispers back. "Why didn't you?"

Summary
Adora’s always known Catra as a rebel, which is why it blindsides her that Catra would reject joining the Rebellion. It’s not until later that Adora connects that Catra’s acts of rebellion and Adora’s were from completely different views.
Adora rebels against the system.
Catra rebels within the system.
And that makes all the difference.
