Prologue:

Long ago, four nations lived in harmony, they helped each other grow and flourish. Everything was fine until the Horde attacked, the Horde is a ruthless group made of numerous benders, and non benders, from many regions in order to gain complete control of Etheria. Etheria is a land of beauty, where everyone can be themselves and where everyone lives in peace. There was no warning of any kind, and overnight cities and kingdoms started to crumble. People were either killed or committed their lives to the Horde. Everyone lived in fear, that was until many years later when the Avatar revealed herself. Originally born an air bender, Avatar Mara was more than capable of taking care of herself.

She had strong will power and hope for the future, she cared about others and always sacrificed more than she should've. Mara started a group called the Rebellion in order to stop the Horde, so far every small mission they did and every small town they saved had been successful which caused more people to join in. They eventually had enough to take back one of the major kingdoms. Mara nervously paced inside the tent, she was about to lead the Rebellion to what could be the battle that turns the tides. "I can do this." She whispers.

"Yes you can," Mara turned her head to see Hope. "If anyone can lead us to victory it will be you." Hope was the first person to ever trust Mara, she was a monk from the southern air temples.

"You have too much faith in me." Mara walked over to Hope, Hope just gave a small smile and rolled her eyes.

"Is that such a bad thing?" She asked with a raised brow.

"No, it isn't." Mara thought for a moment. "Thank you."

"No need to thank me, now go out there and lead them." Hope grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze. "I'll see you before you leave." She then let go of Mara's hand as she headed out of the tent. Mara sighs, she takes in a final deep breath before she heads out to rally the "troops".

Mara looked around for a moment, their attention elsewhere. She let out a small cough to signal for their attention, which immediately got everyone's attention. They had been waiting for quite a while. "We need all the benders we can get to help us," Mara began. "If we can get past the wall and into the kingdom of Brightmoon we have a chance of taking it back." It went silent for a moment before someone decided to speak.

"Mara, what you're saying isn't going to be easy." Mara looked over towards Angella, she was a young woman, but very wise nonetheless. "Many people will get hurt, they may even die." She could understand Angella's worry, Mara glanced down at Angella's stomach which was noticeably round. She knew why the woman was in such a panic, she didn't want to lose her family all over again.

"Angella, do not worry." Mara walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I promise, we will get Brightmoon back," She then whispered. "And I promise not to let anything happen to Micah." Angella gave a weak smile in response, it still wasn't enough to mask the panic. Mara straightened up her posture and turned to the others.

"Ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between. Today is the day we take back one of the major kingdoms the Horde ruthlessly stole away, today marks the day we fight for our freedom. It won't be easy, and you do not have to accompany me on this fight if you feel unsure, but I will not let them win!" Mara looked out at the people crowded around her. "Now, who's with me?" Many people yelled out in response, weapons at the ready, benders and non benders coming together. "Then let's go!" Everyone started heading out, but someone held Mara back.

"Mara dearie," She looked to see a kindly elder woman with scraggly hair. "Please, be safe." Mara set a hand on top of her head.

"I will Madam Razz, don't worry about me." Razz gave a warm smile, Mara gave one in return. As Razz walked off Mara could feel another presence behind her, she turned to see Hope.

"I told you I'd see you before you left," Hope began. "Come back to me safely, alright?" She couldn't help but let out a small laugh, she approached Hope.

"Of course I will Hope, I would never want to leave you behind." Mara rested her head against Hope's. "I love you too much for that." Hope couldn't help but smile.

"I'll be right here waiting for you." Mara nodded, she gave Hope one last hug and went on her way. Looking back now, Hope wished she would've said more to Mara, she should have gone with her instead of staying to protect the ones unable to battle, she would have given anything to see her one last time.

•

There were guards posted every ten feet to cover the massive land. Luckily, they had the element of surprise considering the kingdom was surrounded by dense woods, it would be easy to take out the guards seeing as they weren't benders. This is where Mara's plan was set in motion. The Rebellion members that were non benders are the ones fighting here to ensure they wouldn't be in harm's way when the big fight began. "Lena, take your group ahead and distract the guards." Lena gives a nod and leads her group forwards. Just as planned, the guards were caught off guard, this allowed the benders to head forwards and storm the castle.

The interior of the castle was destroyed, the wallpaper hung freely and a few holes aligned the walls. Pictures were mercilessly ripped down and some old blood caked the once pristine walls. Once full of people, now desolate, it used to be a place of safety, it used to be beautiful. "Mara, we need to head to the throne room. That's where he should be, we can take him out if we all work together." Mara looked over at Micah, he knew the place like the back of his hand. That's the only reason he's here, if Mara had it her way he'd be back with his wife.

"Lead the way and if we get into any trouble or if anything goes wrong, leave." Mara sternly said.

"But-"

"No, your wife needs you back alive. If anything, and I mean anything, goes wrong you leave immediately." He wanted to say something else, but he knew she was right. He needed to get back to Angella, he nodded. "Good, now let's get going."

Mara, Micah, and everyone else that joined in headed towards the main stairs that headed towards the throne room. Micah was the last one up the steps, he turned once to look at the door and then headed up.

•

"No one knew where the plan went wrong, it's not written down anywhere and no one who went into the throne room came out alive. Whether the plan was successful or a failure is up to debate, they got Brightmoon back but at what cost? They lost the people of Brightmoon who bravely fought, they lost the king, and they even lost the avatar. Ever since then the Queen has made sure nothing like that has ever happened." An elderly woman sighs, her eyes focused on the ground in front of her.

"Woah," A young girl, no more than five, whispered. "That sounds horrible! What happened to the people who didn't go? Are they ok?! What happened to the Horde?"

"Now, now, no need to ask so many questions dearie." The young girl puffed out her cheeks. "Most of the people are living in the sanctuary of Brightmoon, some have passed, and some have been looking out for the next avatar."

"Have they found the next avatar yet?" The girl was rocking back and forth with interest.

"Yes, but it isn't time for her to rise yet." The elderly woman got up. "Alright, time for bed Mara dearie."

"My name isn't Mara! It's Adora! You always forget it Ms. Razz!" Razz let out a little laugh, she then looked down at the young blonde before her.

"Of course it is Adora, now get to bed." Adora giggled and hugged Razz.

"Goodnight!" She then ran off to her room, now alone Razz was left with her thoughts. She couldn't help but let out a sad sigh, it's been only five years but yet the world has already gotten worse. Mara should not have died that day, the people lost their beacon of hope. But now they have a new one, she's a lively girl with spirit.

"You'd be proud Mara."

•

Somewhere else in the world a young girl trains, she quickly dodges punches thrown her way by a young boy a bit older than she is. The girl quickly does a backflip and then does a spin kick, successfully knocking the boy over. They were both out of breath, sweat dripped down their face and onto the dirt floor.

"Well done you two," A voice called out, this caused both of them to stiffen. "Although you still need plenty of practice, you'll make fine soldiers." The young boy quickly got to his feet and dusted himself off.

"Thank you Horde Prime," The boy quickly bowed. "I will work harder and be the best soldier you could ask for."

"Good, now get some rest you two. You both get to train bright and early tomorrow." Horde Prime smiled. "Now off you go." Both of the children ran off in a hurry, as soon as they were out of his sight they slowed down.

"Hey Hordak," The girl said. "Do you think there's more out there than this?" She asked, looking up to him.

"Whatever could you mean Catra?" He raised a brow and looked down to the young girl.

"Nothing, nevermind it was stupid." Catra muttered, Hordak put his hand on her head and ruffled her hair.

"Maybe there is and maybe there isn't, but you're here and we are doing what's best for everyone." Catra smiles to herself, only half convinced.

"I guess you're right," She then looked around. "We should probably get going before they catch us and yell again."

"You're right." With that the two of them went to their bedroom for the night wondering what tomorrow has in store for them.

----

Ok, so this is a test run for an idea I had. I kept seeing Avatar AUs for SPOP but they all (from what I've seen) had the same concept in a way so I thought I would take a different approach to it. The avatar au looked like fun and I wanted in because I love both shows. I've decided to make Adora originally born a water bender because I liked the idea of her wearing red yet she bends water for the majority of her life. Also Bow is a non bender, Glimmer is an air bender (I love the idea of her being an air bender). Catra bends fire (opposites attract am I right?) and Hordak bends earth (idk man, it sounded cool in the moment). Also they may be ooc, but I wanted to have fun, and trust me if I continue this Catra will get a Zuko type redemption while Hordak is a bit more like Azula.

By the way this isn't edited, again it's a test run. If you've read this far, have a wonderful day c:

After months of practicing her new powers she obtained from her mother, Adora was pumped and ready to go. She can finally help others and the best part is no one will really know it's her doing so. "I am so ready to get off this island!" Adora said as she lifted up Swift Wind. "Go save villages, rescue damsels in distress!" She then set him down and looked over at her friends Bow and Glimmer.

"Take it easy," Glimmer said. "You don't want to push yourself too far, you're still getting the hang of your new powers." Her face showed concern for the blonde.

"I agree with Glimmer," Bow started petting Swift Wind, his face was also full of concern. "We can start off with helping the people of Brightmoon and go from there." He suggested, hoping that she would agree. Adora contemplated for a moment, she looked at her sword and then at the others.

"Then let's go!" Adora yelled excitedly as she got on Swift Wind's back and immediately took off leaving her friends behind in her excitement.

"Adora!" Glimmer yelled, she then sighed and looked at Bow. "We better go after her." Glimmer grabbed onto Bow and teleported them to where Adora was meant to be heading.

Adora was enjoying the rush of wind passing by, a smile adorned her face. It was beautiful from up above, she could see the woods that expanded for miles and she could even see birds flying as she passed by. It was all good and well until she heard a scream, Adora immediately flew down to the general vicinity and landed behind a tree. She slowly crept up behind a log on the floor to see a tan skinned girl struggling in the grasp of an ugly looking centaur.

Adora didn't know what was going through her head at the moment, the girl looked like she could hold her own. She had this type of fire in her mismatched eyes, but her ears were flat and her tail was bushy, Adora knew she had to help. She grabbed her sword and held it before her. "For the honor of Greyskull!"

It wasn't Catra's fault the centaur didn't agree to Shadow Weavers demands, why was she even sent anyways? Shadow Weaver could have sent Kyle or even Lonnie, but no, it just had to be Catra. As much as she fought she was definitely no match for a hundred pound horse man with clammy hands. "I swear I will get you for this! Put me down." She said through gritted teeth as she scratched his hand. The centaur obviously didn't mind the scratches seeing as he wouldn't let her go.

"Ooo, I like them feisty!" Catra couldn't help but gag at that statement. She then turned her glare onto the centaur, she was about to open her mouth to speak when she heard someone yell.

"For the honor of Greyskull!" Both Catra and the centaur looked over to see a very tall woman with long flowy blonde hair and bright blue eyes. "Put her down." She said, the centaur growled and moved closer.

"Keep moving two legs!" It snarled out, but the girl didn't back down. She stood her ground, glaring at the centaur while holding a huge sword.

"I'm going to have to ask you to-" Catra cut her off.

"Keep moving Princess." Catra pushed on the centaurs hand.

"But," The girl faltered for a moment. "Aren't you a damsel in distress?" She asked, Catra almost laughed at that statement.

"I'm a damsel," She pushed on the centaurs hand yet again. "I'm in distress," She tried once more to no avail. "I can handle this, have a nice day." Catra said looking at the girl.

"You heard the girl, scram!" The woman looked at the centaur with a hard glare.

"Put. Her. Down." The centaur just laughed at her and swung his free hand at the tall girl, it collided and sent the girl flying back. Catra just huffed, resting her chin on her hand. The girl stood up and started looking for her sword.

"You dropped it in the water." Catra said as she rolled her eyes.

"Thanks for being so helpful." The girl sarcastically muttered.

"I'm not trying to be. Try using your head, maybe that'll work." The girl looked up and softly glared at Catra. She thought for a moment before running full force at the beast, her head collided with its midsection causing it to drop Catra into the water, she fell with a shriek. The centaur went flying into a rocky wall, there was a huge cracking noise and the sound of falling stones. Before Catra could complain she felt herself being lifted up and set onto an overgrown tree root.

"I'm sorry, that was a really dumb thing for me to do." Catra glared at her as she spit out water.

"You think?" She said sarcastically, she then looked over the other girl's shoulder. "Heads up princess, he's coming back for round two." Catra couldn't help but smirk, this should be entertaining.

Adora knew she was in over her head, but she couldn't help it. She looked back at the centaur charging at her, he was going full speed. Adora ran forwards and punched him, he staggered back to catch his breath. She took the moment to survey her surroundings, a small shine caught her eyes. It was her sword, lucky her, this day just keeps getting better and better. She picked the sword up and prepared for his next attack, he came charging once again and she swung the sword so the flat end hit him. She didn't want to kill the dude, she just wanted him to leave.

It went like that for a moment until the centaur finally got the hint that she was not backing down from the fight, and that he was on the losing side. "Leave." Adora said, the centaur cowered away. It casted one glance at the strange girl and then once again to Adora. "Now!" She yelled, the centaur did the smart thing and retreated.

Adora smiled at the small victory and then turned back to the girl. Her breath got caught in her throat as she finally got a good look at her. She had unruly brown hair that was complemented by one gold and one blue eye, she had fluffy ears that matched wonderfully with her hair. She sat on the root still with one leg crossed over the other, her tail rested on her knees, it didn't help that the sunrise behind her gave her a glow. This girl was breathtaking. "I, uh, hi."

"Hey." The girl said. "The name's Catra, thanks for saving me although I didn't need to help." Catra smirked a bit. "So Princess, do you have a name under all those muscles?"

Adora doesn't know what possessed her to give away her name but she did. "Adora, but in this form I'm She Ra." Adora transformed back into her normal self, Catra's eyes widened a tiny bit but then went back to normal.

"I think I prefer Princess honestly." She admitted, she then shook her head to get the water off her. Some of the water got onto Adora, she flinched as the water hit her.

"So why exactly were you messing with a centaur?" Adora asked, Catra stretched as she stood up.

"Risky business, what's it to you anyways?" Catra walked over to Adora, she made sure to stay close but not too close.

"You could've been hurt," Catra just shrugged. "I'm glad you're not."

"I've been through worse," She admitted, a small smile formed on her face as she moved in a bit closer. "Thanks again for saving me Princess." Adora couldn't help but blush at how close they were.

"Yeah," She said with a dorky smile. "No problem." They stayed like that for a few minutes.

"Well, I have to get going." Catra turned away. "I'll see you around." As she walked away Catra's tail brushed against Adora's cheek and flicked her nose. She looked back once more and then disappeared into the forest. Adora couldn't help but stand there blushing and grinning like an idiot.

---

In the spirit of trying to get back into writing, I wrote this. I'm really rusty and I didn't know what to write. No one asked, but boom, Hercules AU.

Not exactly how the scene went, but hey, I also left some stuff up to the imagination like there outfits and everything....uh yeah....heh

This might be the lack of sleep talking but if they made a movie, just imagine it's Catra and Adora's wedding day and everything starts off smoothly and then everything goes downhill once the big bad villain shows up to wreck everything. Adora and Catra get split up because of plot reasons and finally get to see each other but you know there's like a little bit of the movie left and someone gets seriously injured or something and then there's a fight. The last ten/fifteen minutes is dedicated to the Catradora wedding because they deserve it.

Maybe I'll make a oneshot out of this........I've been meaning to get back into writing

Side plot could be about Bow wanting to propose to Glimmer and vice versa....hmmmm

Feel free to add more or change some things, I hope that there's a movie (in the future) if I'm being honest, I would love to see what the plot would be and what would happen

#she ra reboot #she ra adora #she ra catra #she ra spop #ok but hear me out #this is what happens when I don't sleep #catradora #she ra bow #she ra glimmer

Ok, hi, hello! I'm a bit nervous to post this, but I (personally) don't know anyone else who watches the show. So I'm relatively new to the She ra fandom as a whole, I binged the entire show within three days and I loved it and I have opinions but that's not what I'm here to talk about!

Before I ever watched the show I already had a picture in my mind of what might happen. It was around season three (I don't remember when season three came out.....sorry) when I saw the picture of glitched Catra and I formed an idea in my head of how that might have happened.

I was under the impression that Catra was getting redemption during season three. I was also under the impression that she was a spy for Adora but something goes wrong and she gets caught and is forced to open the portal (I knew there was a portal involved I just didn't know why it was important but now I do). I don't know why I thought this, but again I didn't get around to watching the show until recently. But I couldn't get it out of my head, because my impressions were way off, so it could be considered an AU?

So what I thought was after Catra handed Adora back the sword in the first season she would work as a spy to help Adora. It didn't help that because of the fandom, I was under the impression they were already girlfriends, or very close to being girlfriends.

Continuing into season two, Catra would be giving intel to The Best Friend Squad, she isn't really able to stop anything from happening and she has to fight them in order to keep up appearances. Eventually someone (Shadow Weaver) starts getting suspicious, this leads into season three where Catra ends up getting caught. I don't really know how I thought it would go down? But that leads to the whole portal thing and stuff happens, and I thought afterwards Catra would freak and run away because she hurt everyone. Alternatively, I thought she would stay glitched until the end of season four. It's weird, but I was thoroughly convinced that this was how it was gonna go down.

I don't know why I thought this would happen, but I'm glad things went down the way they did in the show because each character has depth to them and I love it. No show has ever made me like all of the characters (except Horde Prime and Shadow Weaver because screw them but they're also well written antagonists and ahhh), even when Catra was at her worst I understood why she did what she did because she was written well, she is probably still making it up to everyone but she's heading in the right direction. If you can't tell I love Catra, she really needs some therapy though. I wish I would've watched it sooner but with most reboots I've seen I was skeptical. But hey, I love the show, and now it's kinda one of my comfort shows. It has good messages and I honestly didn't know I needed a show like this until I watched it. I keep recommending it to my friends, although they probably won't watch it yet. But that's what I have to share, I also made a little Adora sketch but my art skills are lackluster and I'm not sure how to feel about it, maybe I'll post it when I have more confidence.

If you've read this far: Tangled AU (the boat scene though…..)

If anyone is interested to hear, I have other AU ideas floating around in my head since I get bored easily and my imagination likes to roam

Totally and definitely not reading the Percy Jackson series at the moment.

But here's a small little thing: remember the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice? Where Eurydice dies and Orpheus goes to the underworld to get her back? And he's told not to turn around but he stupidly does because he can't hear her footsteps?

Orpheus was the son of Apollo. You know who else is the son of Apollo? Will Solace.

Who's Will in love with? Nico di Angelo.

Who's Nico's godly parent? Hades!

I thought it was a fun little connection honestly, maybe not intentional, but it's wild to see connections like this in the series. Or perhaps I'm connecting dots that aren't even there.

It probably won't happen but imagine if Nico and Will were in a similar situation? I heard everyone's worried about Will possibly dying in the next book so I'll leave this here for you guys

I'm honestly so sad that I don't have good art skills because I recently watched She-Ra (I loved it) and now I'm watching Tangled and I just want to draw Catra and Adora in the light scene holding hands with the pretty lights surrounding them because I'm sad and I need something to make me happy. Am I going to still try and do it like an idiot? Yes!

Edit: My pen for my tablet died and I'm left with this idea in my head, I just wanna see it as a drawing :(

I don't need to make a superhero AU about Deceit

...........I'm making a superhero AU for Deceit

Redemption arc?? I'm a sucker for those (Zuko's redemption arc though)

Someone please theorize the new episode with me, I don't have friends (that watch Thomas) to share theories with

I also just realized I have to update my other au because I realized that I like Ever After High a bit more than Descendants (and another obvious reason but I'm avoiding spoilers) but why not mix the two ideas together

I'm rambling because I haven't been on here in forever because this year has been the worst year of my life so far but I'm trying to be positive about it all!

An AU about Remus and Roman:

They were twins of a king and Remus was the unloved child that was locked away. Roman didn't know about him and suddenly one day they meet. Remus is a bad guy and Roman is with his three friends (Logan, Patton, and Virgil).

Think of Spinel from Steven Universe and the song Other Friends.

Has this been done?

QUICK! SOMEONE MAKE A TIK TOK OR SOMETHING OF LOGAN AND ROMAN SINGING "I CAN'T STOP SINGING" FROM TEEN BEACH MOVIE! (If someone has made it already point me in that direction please I really want to see this happen it'd be so freaking cool)

I was listening to the song on youtube, it was on my recommendation page and it reminded me of Logan and Roman. Also in the background Patton is just really giddy and Virgil is laughing to himself because thank goodness that's not him.

I would do it myself but I don't have great drawing skills yet and I'm not confident enough to put my face online.

Also Teen Beach Movie AU?? Who would be who?

Or like an AU where all four get stuck in a musical and now they're forced to sing their way through while following a strict plot and slowly they're all convinced it's reality. Maybe they're forced to act a certain way and only one (Patton) realizes what's happening and has to convince the others that this isn't reality.

I had a weird dream a few days ago and I really wanted to share it.

So I was a house cleaner, I did it as a living, and one day I went to this orphanage to clean. This lady let me in after telling me she had guests coming over and needed the house presentable. Then she just left for whatever reason. Anywho, I grabbed the cleaning supplies and surprise surprise Patton is there. He asks me what I'm doing and I say I'm cleaning. Patton says he'd make me cookies for my hard work and then went to make the cookies. Don't ask me why but the orphanage was attached to a theater, it was beautiful. After a good hour of cleaning I had to go clean the basement. I ended up getting scared and guess who shows up? Roman, he asked me if I was scared, I said yes and he said he'd go down there with me and protect me if needed. So we get down there and chat (I think about musicals) and then Logan comes down to find Roman because he was supposed to be cleaning his room. (I didn't have to clean the rooms I just had to make sure they got clean) Roman grumbled and stomped his way upstairs, Logan stayed with me because I asked about the guests. It was apparently for a small play, then he went into detail about how the orphanage was built into the theater to help the kids in their creative abilities. After heading upstairs with him still talking Patton asks for his help with the cookies. It was interesting hearing Logan go into the history I just wish I remembered. After that was done I went room to room. Logan's room was clean, Patton's was as clean as a kid who hurried to clean their room, Roman was cleaning his (he had a bunk bed by the way), and Virgil had a few shirts on the floor. I said hi to Virgil and asked him politely to pick up the shirts, he didn't notice I was there and got a bit embarrassed. I told him I liked the color of his room (it was a light purple), he said thanks and I went on my way. I don't remember the rest but Deceit showed up and gave me a bit of sass when I asked where his room was. I'm kinda glad Remus didn't show up because I didn't need to question my sanity.

Long story short: The Sides invaded my dream
