#Angella haunts Catra post portal AU

[nny11writes]

Trivia Tuesday

Guardian Angel (the Angella & Catra fic) originally had a second chapter planned for it!

The plan had been that Entrapta would discover Angella was still alive in the portal and the reason Catra could see her was thanks to having been “corrupted/glitched” while inside. It left a small portion of the portal kicking around inside of her, allowing the portal dimension to not collapse in on itself fully.

They would ultimately rescue Angella and then her and Catra would explore how wildly different their relationship was when they weren’t connected together anymore. Catra would get hit with some abandonment issues, feeling replaced for the second time by Glimmer by someone she thought could never leave her and she’d get the chance to handle the situation a second time with more experience on her side. Angella, meanwhile, found she was slipping into old queen habits and not behaving the way she used to when she was less afraid of people seeing/hearing her and judging her.

Basically it was giving them both a chance to tackle something similar to what they already went through, and allowing them to heal further by handling it differently.

As with most things I write, I looked at where the ending should be and asked nervously, “So, uh, anyone gonna, uhm, come up with that or do I have to...?” and then never did! :D

I think it’s a stronger story without the intended second chapter, but it’s a fun bit of trivia and a look behind the curtain.
