A screenshot of a Word doc that reads: "Catra never gives up to get what she wants. Usually. It’s so easy not to, when she knows losing would come with raging fire, a bitter aftertaste. When her mind punishes her for it without mercy, and the tormenting words sound just like a ghost of a mother that won’t stay buried. But right now, after she becomes boneless and satisfied and warm, failure feels like Adora’s steady heartbeat beneath her ears and soft kisses pressed to the crown of her head. And once in her life, Catra doesn’t want to win."

Chapter 9 is good, actually

A screenshot of a Word doc that reads: “No swearing in front of the baby,” Glimmer Bright, Adora’s alleged best friend quips without looking up from some online quiz she is taking that will tell her which flavor of mooncake she is based on her personality type, attachment style and astrology big three. The comment slaps Adora back to the present, a healthy dose of confusion mingling with aggravation. “What baby?” Sitting cross-legged on the other side of Glimmer, Bow Cross raises his hand. “It’s me. I’m baby.”

Idiots. All of them.

Catra lets out a lovely, curt giggle. “I’ll have you know that I’m much less insufferable than you think. You bring it out of me.” “Aww,” Adora coos, resting her head in her hands, “same.”

Flirting like Catradora

A digital illustration of Adora and Catra from Vee's (dandyvela.bsky) maid of honour/wedding planner fic. They're facing away from each other, both have their arms crossed, and are glancing at each other from the corner of their eyes with an angry expression. Sorry I have no idea how to describe appearances and clothes properly, but here it goes: Catra is wearing her hair down, her cat ears are lowered. Her tail is softly brushing Adora's arm. She's wearing a dark grey short-sleeved top with a boob window and a belt at the neck. She's wearing plum coloured pants held up with a white belt that has a golden buckle. Adora has her hair up in a ponytail, hair slightly messy with some loose strands sticking out. She's wearing a greyish teal coloured tank top and ultramarine violet pants held up with a dark grey belt with a silver buckle. Catra and Adora are both blushing slightly. The background has three colour blocks, two in pink and burgundy in the middle. The title of the fic, "Tie the Knot" is written on the blocks. From the two pink blocks on the sides, pink ropes extend toward each other in reference to the title.

Vee turned 32 today so I made some Tie the Knot (fic link below) art to celebrate!

They really outdid themselves with the fic, which is saying a lot considering how amazing their writing already was.

show some love for their work❤️

A digital illustration of Adora and Catra from my maid of honour/wedding planner fic. Catra stands in front with a hand in her pocket, glancing behind her without turning her head. The angle of her brows is irritated, just like the way she bares her teeth. She wears a long-sleeve turtleneck shirt with a keyhole cut and high-waisted, loose grey pants. Behind her, Adora is stomping away with a similar expression, except her mouth is in a tight line. She wears a white tank top and sweatpants in the color of washed-out light jeans. The background is pink with petals falling, and the title "Tie the Knot (around my neck, she's driving me crazy)" is displayed at the top.

One wedding planner. One maid of honor. So many issues.
Tie the Knot finally has a cover.

A screenshot of AO3. The title reads: Tie the Knot (Around My Neck, She's Driving Me Crazy). The summary of Chapter 4 is: In which Catra has a perfectly good explanation, and Adora does some jumping jacks.

"This urgency in Adora’s movement is what gets Catra in the end. She refuses to fall behind. Not without a fight. That is what they’re doing, right? They are still fighting.
There is no other word to describe how Adora tears into her."

Please.” “Are you sure?” “Uh-huh,” Adora babbles, eyes screwed shut when Catra curls her fingers just right. “Fuck. Yes, please. Please, please. I’m so close.”

A digital illustration of Adora and Catra from She-Ra (2018), in my modern AU, Tie the Knot. Adora is wearing her grey tank top she sleeps in as she tangles her hand in Catra’s hair to kiss her. Her hair is in her usual ponytail, and there’s a deep blush on her cheeks that reach the top of her ears. Catra kisses her back, blushing just as wildly as Adora does. She wears a blank halter top, her ear is slightly flagged. Both of them have a little speech bubble above their heads with a tiny pink heart. Because I’m a sucker for cuteness.

She bites her lip, raising her eyebrows cockily, despite the blush spilling across her cheeks. In speech bubbles around her, she says, "Stop talking. Your jaw will get tired."

Catra’s head lolls back, so Adora can’t see her face anymore. “Ugh, fuck,” she rasps. She sounds weak, yet somehow still vexed. “Stop teasing.” “Stop holding back first.” Catra ducks her head again. She glares daggers at Adora through the confusion that tugs at the corner of her mouth. “What?” “Let me hear you,” Adora says, “and I won’t hold back, either.” “I’m not gonna scream the maid of honor’s name when she pinned me to the wall right next to the goddamn hall.”

As much as she enjoyed their first time together, it would be useless to deny that this, right here, is so much better. Adora wanted more time with her. She wanted to take things slow; to drive Catra mad until she can’t take it anymore. Until she is a whimpering, writhing bundle of pure need, begging Adora for something only she can grant her. Something that, once given, will ruin her for everyone else trying to follow Adora.

Possessive Adora just hits different

She is a human with spike-y, alt style ear piercings and long black nails save for her ring and middle fingers. She wears a black one piece swimsuit with a deep V cut. Her long hair is brushed to one side as she looks to the other with the tip of her tongue sticking out. There is a floating little heart and Hey, Adora written by her head.

Glimmer and Bow sit at one side of the table, beaming at each other with heart-eyes while Glimmer holds onto Bow’s arm. On the other side, Adora is completely immersed in stuffing her face while Catra is cherry fucking red and trying not to die while avoiding eye contact with everyone. Her tail bristled to twice its size, too.

A screenshot of a Word document that reads: “Is that the best you could come up with?” Catra spits. Her voice stays weak, her eyes glossy as they cling to Adora’s. They draw her in, challenging her. Every inch of Adora’s muscles tighten in her body to keep herself away. “You don’t seem mad about it.” “Surprised, is all,” Catra says with a sly grin. “You’ve never told me you were into this straight BookTok shit.”

A screenshot of a Word document that reads: “Um, yeah,” Adora confesses easily, like the simple confirmation wouldn’t send the entire world as Catra knew it crashing and burning. The more Catra stares, the deeper the confused burrow draws between Adora’s thick eyebrows, and the more unbearable the heat of Catra’s roaring blood becomes. If she actually had cold water poured on her, it would be vaporizing right now. She’s never felt a blush like this creep on her, warming her from her breastbone all the way up to the crown of her head, leaving her ears ringing. It’s absolutely mortifying.

What did Adora confess to? Wrong answers only.

The more Catra tries to follow, the dizzier she feels. “Sorry, did you want me to do something about it?”

A screenshot of a Word document that reads: “I can’t believe people don’t see what a fucking brat you are,” Catra barks, her tail lashing out behind her quick like a whip. “Perfect little Adora my ass. You’re a bigger jerk than I am.” Adora hides her hands in her pockets, and shoots Catra a blinding grin. “And you’re so much sweeter than anyone gives you credit for.”

A black and white digital sketch of Catra and Adora from She-Ra (2018) based on my wedding planner/maid of honor AU. Catra is standing on the left, completely zoned out with an expression of someone who gave up like, years ago. Adora, on the other hand, looks mildly panicked on the right with a hand on the nape of her neck and wide eyes. They both grab onto their matching sweaters - Catra’s sweater says “diagnosed, but something is still not right”, Adora’s sweater says “undiagnosed, but something is definitely not right”

I had Chapter 4 on my mind when I made this one, so it’s only fitting that I use it to announce the chapter is now up on Patreon. x It’s a good one.
