    Summary

    The only sound in Finn’s world is the plink… plink… plink of the kitchen faucet and the quiet, tense silence of their mother trying to hold everything together. What happens when a new neighbor with a toolbox and a booming laugh walks in and stops the leak? What happens when the quiet that replaces it isn’t so lonely?

    (A love story about broken things, the people who fix them, and the family they build piece by quiet piece.)

    Summary

    "That's cool," Adora says, and means it. "You never told me."

    "Yeah, well. It was never going to happen." Catra glances at Adora before rolling her eyes. "No one wants a baker that can't taste sugar." She picks up a jar full of brown. "Whatever. Forget it. Was Razz allergic to labels?"

    Summary

    Catra can't resist turning to smirk at her. “So, you don't want to know about my life because you think you'll develop world-destroying feelings for me?”

    Adora blushes. “It's not funny, Catra.”

    “It's a little funny,” Catra says, turning back to the stove. “I mean, how does that even work? You just never have strong emotions?”

    “I avoid attachments and stimulating environments,” Adora says. “I practice daily meditation, and have mindfulness tools and breathing techniques on hand to manage unexpected triggers. My studies also help—ruminating on the vastness and complexity of the wider universe really puts individual concerns in perspective.”

    “Sounds like a lot of work,” Catra says with a shrug. “Why not just blow the planet up?”

    -

    AKA Catra is just a struggling single mom trying to put her past behind her until her well-meaning kid ends up bringing that past home, and maybe triggers an international crisis in the process.

    Summary

    Plastic shovel in hand, she trudges down the path, convincing herself that a visit to Scorpia’s book café would be worth it. They’d just got in a new queer novel from her favourite author, and as soon as the stupid driveway is clear, she (and a hot coffee) can binge the whole thing in one sitting. Making her first swipe with the shovel, Catra clears a square of the driveway, and feels a modicum of satisfaction at her progress.
    Then she promptly slips and face-plants the snow.
    Laying for a moment, Catra ignores the stinging of her palms and the cold nipping at her nose to collect herself. She had not, in fact, considered the risk that the ground under the snow would be slippery, and for that, she is paying the price.
    --
    OR, Catra slips in the snow and Adora helps her. That's it, that's the fic.
