“Seriously, Adora. All that money for, like, holding hands in front of a camera? It can’t get easier than that. You endured me for like, ten years? I’m sure you can power through these four weeks.” She gets up and leans on the back of her chair, getting closer to Adora’s face. “Just don’t fuck it up and we’ll be fine.” Adora scowls at her and forces herself to not start another argument. Catra ignores it and turns away. “See ya later, girlfriend.” She says over her shoulder. Girlfriend. Adora shudders at that word. Only after Catra is gone Adora remembers they didn’t even plan anything out. She closes her eyes and rubs her temples again, taking another deep breath.

The Blade's stance was still tense, his body prepared to fight at a moment’s notice if need be.“What’s your name?” Phil asked.“My… name?” The Blade echoed.“Yeah.

It is only when a young human warrior finally pushes back against the chaos that the world begins to shift towards order.

No matter - your ears are pointed enough and you carry your father’s blood. They have already accepted the match.” “Who? What match?” Lena demanded. Arching an eyebrow in a cool, appraising manner, Lillian smiled sharply, her eyes clearly blue in the light of the room, yet frosty and hard. “The Seelie Court. You, my daughter, will keep the peace between our courts.”
