    Summary

    "It will be universally admitted that instincts are as important as corporeal structures for the welfare of each species, under their present conditions of life. Under changed conditions, it is at least possible that slight modifications of instinct might be profitable. For it is not the strongest that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."

    When speaking of adaptability, Catra has always found a way no matter what in order to survive.

    Following her instincts has been a crucial part to ensure that.

    ...she never would have thought that one day she'd have to surrender to them though.

    Fortunately enough, she doesn't have to do it alone.

    Or,

    When dealing with perpetual changes, Adora has always been Catra's constant.

    Summary

    Determined to make Adora into her perfect weapon, Shadow Weaver banishes Catra from the Horde and manipulates Adora onto a dark path of pain, fear, and hopeless devotion to nameless causes.

    Sent back to a people she doesn't know, Catra must discover her stolen heritage and take her rightful place in the hidden kingdom of Halfmoon, defying a lifetime of failure to become a leader - and reshape the future of her people.

    Trained by an enigmatic prisoner who might know the secrets of her past, Adora must endure the terrible future Shadow Weaver has planned and reshape herself into a champion for all of Etheria - and beyond.

    But when Shadow Weaver's impatience and rage change Adora forever, she escapes to the rebellion and faces war against the Horde that that raised her in hopes of saving the world.

    They must both defy destiny and embrace the promises of forgotten magic and childhood dreams to forge their paths back to each other.

    Summary

    Adora pulled the flyer down and ran her shaking hands along its weathered edges, heart threatening to beat its way out of her chest and onto the sidewalk unhindered.

    It was unmistakable. Undeniable.

    It was her, and she was…

    She was a lighting strike.

    She was an atomic bomb.

    She was the fucking Tunguska event.

    She was Catra.

    ***

    Ten years ago, the universe took them away from each other. Adora spent what she could of that time searching. Catra spent that time grieving.

    When chance brings Adora an old, faded band flyer, it seems as if the universe is finally on her side, again.

    But the universe never lets anything go quite the way you want it to, does it?

    It's the Punk Rock AU, y'all!
