Glitra Week Day Seven: Horde Glimmer Princess Catra

Written for Glitra week on Tumblr! Catra is Princess of Brightmoon, Glimmer is a Force Captain in the Horde. One day she sneaks into the palace to steal Princess Alliance plans. Catra catches her.

“Princess! Princess!” The flustered cries of the guards made her ears twitch.

“What is it?” She demanded, running out into the hall, her tail skirting for balance on the polished floor.

“I...it’s her again your majesty,” Juliet answered, doing her best to compose herself. “She’s made her way to the war room. We tried to apprehend her but she…”

Teleported,

Catra thought, seething. Her mind raced. This was hardly the first time the irritating Force Captain had snuck into the palace, smuggling weapons and stealing alliance plans.

“I’ll find her,” she snapped, turning on her heel without waiting for a reply.

Catra barreled down the brightly lit halls, past her own spacious sleeping quarters up to the main level of the palace and into the war room. She sniffed, trying to make out any detection of glittery sparkly nonsense. Hardly a thing was touched. Chairs still in place, windows shut. Only the absence of papers altered her to the Force Captain’s robbery.  Catra hissed, unsheathing her claws. Her tail twitching.  She sniffed again, eyes shifting around the room.  

“I know you’re hiding, Glimmer. I can smell you clear as day,” she forced the name out with a teaming rage.

Catra went stiff, the hair all over her going straight as shimmering tell tale sparkles glistened behind her. She spun, swiping, and cursed as Glimmer’s gloved hand caught around her wrist.

“Hey Princess,” Catra’s eyes narrowed. The force captain smirked, impressed with herself as she tightened her grip around the princess’s arm.

“Let me go, Horde Scum,” Princess Catra wrenched herself away. Glimmer’s laugh echoed among the room, raising the blood in the princess’s veins. The Force Captain pulled a scroll from somewhere behind her red glittering cape. She read it for a moment, her pink, gray eyes alighting with delight.

“So your plan was to continue beating our bots, take samples of them and then what? Make your own? We both know Brightmoon doesn’t have the technology capable of replicating anything close to our designs.”

Catra growled, swiping the paper from Glimmer’s hand in an instant, taking brief satisfaction in the flustered look of Glimmer’s face.

“Why are you doing this?” Catra demanded, fists so tight her own claws nearly bled her palms. Glimmer threw her head back with indignant laughter.

“I have guards out there looking for you,” Catra hissed, “the only reason they haven’t found you is because I haven’t raised the alarm. Now answer me!” Catra threw herself forward aiming to shove Glimmer down into one of the chairs. Glimmer giggled, dissolving into a puff of pink cloudy smoke and reappearing on the other side of the room.

“Why am I doing this? Because I am going to win, and the best way to do that is to find out what your little alliance is planning. Though it doesn’t seem like much of a plan!”

Catra bit her tongue, stalking over to Glimmer and pushing her out of the chair with an unceremonious thud.

“No,” Catra corrected, “why do keep doing this?” Glimmer straightened herself, turning towards Catra and shrugging, leaning against the circular table and jumping up to sit on it casually.

“Doing what princess?” Glimmer coked a brow with an arrogant smile. Catra found herself flushing, watching the force captain’s eyes roam down her figure.

“Doing this,” Catra gestured around the room. “Coming back here! You could get caught, and don’t you have underlings or something to sneak around for you?”

“Sure I do,” Glimmer answered, leaning precariously forward. Catra folded her arms across her chest, suddenly feeling exposed despite her clothing. Glimmer’s round eyes continued to travel from her face, down over the curves of her sides, her hips. Suddenly aware that the Force Captain’s legs were on either side of her, straddling her where she stood.

Wish I could teleport away.

“Guess I just like seeing you flustered, Catra.” Glimmer’s hand reached out, and Catra nearly flinched at the touch of fingertips against her chin. Warm and stubble. Careful.

The princess stiffened, sucking in a quick breath. Glimmer’s fingers delicately traveled up her cheek, almost hesitant. Her cheeks ran hot, tail flicking.

Snap out of it Catra! You’re a princess! She’s from the Horde!

Catra willed herself to scratch at Force Captain’s face. Glimmer back peddled, unable to teleport away before Catra yanked the collar of her uniform, pulling her back down onto the table. Glimmer reached a hand to her face, covering the  five red lines across her cheek now puckering with blood. She smiled devilishly.

“Like it rough huh princess?”

“What are you…?” The words died in Catra's throat. Silenced by Glimmer’s full lips against hers, warm and wet and desperate. She tried to reel backward but the Force Captain clothed her knees against her legs, holding her firmly in place. Without thinking, Catra pulled her arms around Glimmer’s neck, pulling her further into their wanting kisses. Aggressive perhaps, romantic...definitely not. Needy and curious, absolutely.

She even tastes like glitter, Catra mused, fingers carding through the Force Captain’s plush pink and purple hair. It was not an unpleasant thought.

“Damn Princess, I don’t know what I was expecting but  not this!”  Glimmer whispered through another bout of kissing.

“You’re so annoying,” Catra snarled, her grip on Glimmer tightening around her arms, claws scratching against her back. The force captain let out a small moan, deepening their kiss so much Catra nearly gasped for breath. Satisfied, Glimmer drew back, biting Catra’s lip for good measure.

“What...what was that for?” Catra demanded, stepping backward out of Glimmer’s forceful embrace. The force captain shrugged, non-committal.

“Well I best be going princess. I have a war to win and you have a glamorous castle to...I don’t know, lounge about it.”

“I am not lounging!” Catra bristled, indignant.

“This was fun princess, I’ll see you later.”

Catra reached out to seize Glimmer, who answered with one more heated kiss. Ferocious and with a promise of more to come. Catra’s stomach did summer salts in her stomach.

“Glimmer!”

The Force captain only grinned, disappearing into a haze of pink.

“Princess Catra!”

Juliet barged in before she could compose herself.

“We have not located the Force Captain, but we have scouts out on patrol searching for her as we speak.”

Catra stole herself a breath then regained her composure, hoping she hadn’t given herself away.

“Let her go, she’ll be back.”

“But...princess,”

Catra looked out the window. The billowing smoke plumes of the Fright Zone visible far off in the distance.

“She’ll be back Juliet, trust me.”

@glimmadora-week-3 - Day 5 - Period Piece

I really like Japanese Woodblock printing and tried (keyword: tried, attempted) to imitate that style with this piece. My friend @athetos made a fic for this prompt based off this piece that you can read here!

[tippenfunkaport]

Just Like Always

Adora and Catra think they're helping Bow and Glimmer with an elaborate marriage proposal but their friends have pulled a bait and switch.

Read on AO3 or FF.net.

Fluff! Romance! Catadora! Glimbow childhood flashbacks! Snacks! A made-up card game! Platonic Glitra antics! Adora and Bow actually get to hang out in a Tippen fic and not be angsty! Just read it, it’s cute!

FINALLY, this is my last @glimbow-week-2020 fic for Marriage / Proposal and it has been my ARCH NEMESIS to write (which is why it’s so late) but I hope you like it.

[shera-dnd]

Hey, so I had this whole big post planed out for New Years Eve about how I’m gonna start taking this blog more seriously as a source of income and start posting more often and bringing up my ko-fi more often.

But then my PC got fried and I had to replace both the fans and the PSU, so I basically couldn’t post shit for a whole week.

BUT I’M BACK NOW!

So anyway here’s the plan: This blog is the source of income that got me through a year and a half of college and then a whole ass year of pandemic. And as such I feel like it requires more attention, so I can nurture this shit into something big and good and that can truly be worth something.

To that end I’m gonna have to find the balance between “overworking myself to the point of having a mental breakdown and busting both my wrists at the same time” like I did in 2019 and “wallowing in my depression until I barely have the drive to get out of bed” like I did in 2020. I’m sure there’s plenty of space for that there.

Also this includes branching out into stuff that isn’t She-ra, now I have some ideas for that but that’s gonna have to wait for later. There are at least 3 more side quests and a few plot points I wanna go over for this AU, before I consider doing something else.

also dear god so many fanfics I wanna write, god I have like the biggest glitra fic ever in my docs right now

At the end of the day this basically just means more content for y’all and hopefully more income for me, so here’s to 2021 being the gayest fucking year we can possibly make.

Glitra Week 2020 Day 4: Wild West

Written for GlitraWeek, even though it has been well past a week! Catra fights the law...and the law...is Glimmer?

“You...you sure you want another one?” 

The bar keeper's cautious inquiry lit a fire in Glimmer’s chest. 

“Yes I want another one Adora! Don’t judge me like that.” 

The large blonde woman shrugged, unfazed. She obliged, pouring more amber liquid into Glimmer’s glass. The woman knocked it back in a single drought, wincing at the burning on her tongue. 

“It’s been nice to have you back,” Adora offered, rubbing down the counter. “The Brightmoon Saloon isn’t the same without you. How was it out there?”

“Tsch,” Glimmer’s eyes scanned the bar. At mid-day most people had retreated back to their ranches or up to their rooms. She, Adora, and a few other nameless wanderers were the only people milling about in the town’s only bar. 

“It was fine.”

“See any Horde out there?” 

Glimmer huffed, annoyed. Adora was a good friend to talk to. Maybe her only friend, apart from Bow. But mention of the Horde was doing nothing to improve her mood. She tapped her glass against the wooden counter in silent signal. Adora’s large blue eyes narrowed with concern but she refilled. 

“Few of em, no sign of her though.” 

“No sign of who?”

The double doors of the saloon swung open, illuminating the silhouette of a lithe figure. All heads turned. A glass shattered. 

 Glimmer’s hand reached instantly for her pistol. 

“Catra,” she spit.

“Glimmer, Adora,” the woman tipped her black cowgirl hat. Striding over to the counter, large boots creaking against the old wooden floor. Catra easily leaned against the bar, sliding between the stools, too close for Glimmer’s liking. She kept her hand on her pistol, eyeing the outlaw keenly. 

“Whisky, straight darling,” Catra nodded to Adora, taking off her hat in a flourishing show that made Glimmer want to slug her. 

“Umm...the whisky isn't...straight. I mean...when I pour it...it’s gonna come out of the bottle like...in an arch...that’s how it's poured. It’s not in a straight line...it’ll trickle...downward.” Adora fumbled, confused. 

“Means without ice, ma’am,” Catra purred. “Just whisky. No ice.” 

Adora nodded, flustered and hurriedly fetched the whisky from the top shelf. 

“Enough with the pleasantries Catra, why are you here?” Glimmer demanded. Everything in her screamed to shoot this woman. It was only fair, for all the Horde had done. For all the cattle killed...the stolen goods. The robberies. 

“I’m here for you, princess.” Adora poured the whisky, hands shaking. First for Catra, then to Glimmer-who clenched her jaw as the liquid spilled with Adora’s shaking hands. 

“It’s...it’s on the house,” she mumbled. Glimmer watched Catra tip her hat again as Adora scurried off. 

“What do you mean you’re here for me?” Glimmer sipped her drink curtly.

“I’ve been watching you try to track me down for weeks out in the desert. Pathetic. Figured I’d make it easier and come to you.” 

Catra grinned, a sharp tooth cocky grin. Glimmer’s hand tightened around her holster. 

“Figures, never thought I’d see you coming around these parts,” she managed. Catra only finished her drink, and stood up. Her heterochromatic eyes running over Glimmer in a way that made her shifter. A heat rising in her that she quickly blamed on the alcohol. 

“Then let’s settle it,” Glimmer snarled. “Here and now.” 

“I’d expect nothing less princess.” 

“J...just take it outside please,” Adora begged, coming over once again. “Mica nearly fired me last time Glimmer tried to settle a score over a poker match.” 

“Hey I won! That lousy sea-dog was cheated!”

“Sea-Hawk,” Adora corrected. “Weird name for a cowboy. I don’t think he’s ever seen the sea in his life. Haha. Seen the Sea.”

“Adora!”

“Right!” She snapped back to attention. “Just...please go outside if you plan on killing anyone.” Glimmer only glared at Catra with contempt. Here was the woman she’d been hunting down for years. Who had the brazen audacity to show up right before her and easily suggest they settle their dispute. The nerve. 

Glimmer stepped out into the blistering sun. Dust kicked up with each foot fall, scuffing her boots. Catra slunk ahead, down the single wide road, then turned after walking several paces. Facing her. Glimmer stood where she was, planting her feat into the rocky parched road. 

“Ready, Sparkles?” 

Eyes from every angle watched Glimmer intently. The patrons of the Brightmoon Saloon, and Adora had come out to witness the showdown.

Glimmer squinted in the harsh sun. Catra’s tail flicked back and forth, her own clawed hands going for her gun. But Glimmer knew the drill. She’d been in plenty of dules before. She’d never lost one and she didn’t plan to break that streak today. 

“On your mark!” Adora called, “one….” somewhere an eagle screeched overhead. “Two…” Glimmer clicked open her holster, curling her fingerless gloves around the pistol. Catra too, mirrored her own motion, ears twitching. “Three!” Glimmer instantly rose her pistol, aiming and shot in the blink of an eye. Two bangs sounded together. She winced, preparing for some sort of pain but felt...nothing. 

“Aaargh!” 

A collective gasp from the townsfolk echoed from the ringing in her ears. She watched Catra stumble, one hand going to cover a spot on her thigh. The outlaw cursed, hobbling a few paced before collapsing in the dust. Renewed confidence flowed through Glimmer as she stalked over to Catra, lifting the woman’s chin with the barrel of her gun. Catra hissed, the wound on her thigh bleeding through her fingers. 

“I ought to end you,” Glimmer snarled. Catra only hissed, baring her fangs. 

“You’re a better shot than I thought, I’ll give you that. Maybe I underestimated you.” That brought a grin to Glimmer’s face. 

“People often do.” 

“What you gonna do then Sparkles? Put me down like an old horse?” Catra smiled, still so annoying, still antagonizing her even bloody and shot. Face caked with dust and sweat. Glimmer’s stomach turned, that heat rising in her again. Something about having Catra like this...on her knees...at her mercy….she shook her head. 

“The sheriff will deal with you.” 

“Angella? I’m not afraid of her,” Catra scoffed. Glimmer balled her fists, ready to strike her. Instead she only crouched down on the outlaw’s level, face inches from hers. The gold and blue eyes sparkling in the late day sun. “You should be,” Glimmer whispered, suddenly breathy. Catra cocked her head, licking her chapped lips. 

“Yeah? Well then go for it. Throw me in the stocks, the county jail. Do your worst Sparkles, I know you’d never let me hang.”

Furry and indignation rose in Glimmer’s chest, without an explanation she seized Catra by her collar and kissed her roughly. Tasting blood and salt and earth. To her surprise the outlaw met her with equal parts rage and excitement kissing her forcefully.  She bit Catra’s lip and the outlaw rolled back, flustered, a red hot blush rising in her cheeks that only added to Glimmer’s satisfaction. 

“W...was that supposed to be my punishment?” She scoffed. Glimmer hauled Catra to her feet. Ignoring the shocked mutterings of the townsfolk. She spared a look at Adora who watched with wide eyes, face a little flushed. 

“Come with me, scum we’ll have you sentenced by sundown.”  Glimmer dragged the limping woman down the street towards the single stone building of the sheriff's office. Angella already stood outside, arms folded. 

“If that was my punishment,” Catra teased, “I don’t think I’ll mind the sentencing.”  Glimmer rolled her eyes, dragging the outlaw behind her. Luckily Catra couldn’t see her own blush rising to her face, nor her grinning at the thought. Bringing Catra before the law in a lawless town might not be so bad after all.
