#the song is baby lay your head down by Aly and aj

[canibalistic-brownie]

Catra has a really pretty singing voice, but only a select few heard it when she was growing up in the horde. She mostly sang in the shower when she was alone or with only Adora which was, decidedly, not often in the common showers. Lonnie once heard it when she snuck in, but Catra hissed at her and threatened her life over it and she only tells Rogelio and he doesn’t really believe her so it doesn’t go far.

When the war is over and she hold Adora at night alone in Adora’s- their room, she tangles her hands in her hair and scratches Adora’s scalp and hums little tunes to her to help her sleep. The melody is usually the same, a little floaty tune that sits well across her range. Adora tries to stay awake to hear more but it always puts her to sleep.

When Glimmer starts to sleep in their room as well she’s startled by the sound. She’s holding Adora and Catra is holding her and she feels the rumble of her lower range against her back. There’s no words but it’s very clearly meant to be a song. She says nothing that night, just listens to the most intimate part of Catra and drifts away but it stays on her mind for the next few weeks.

“Will you sing the words for me?” Glimmer asks finally, months after she begins sleeping in their bed. She’s not there every night, but on nights when she is she is always curious about the song. Catra is sitting up and Adora and Glimmer are spooning between her legs, using her as a pillow. They’re not sleeping, just cuddling, but Catra is already humming so it just comes to Glimmer to ask.

Her humming stops and a blush rises to her cheeks as she looks down at her girls. Both of them have maxed out on the puppy dog eyes at the question and it’s hard to resist.

“I… maybe another time.” Glimmer huffs but she cuddles back into Catra’s leg again all the same.

It’s late that same night and Glimmer and Adora are almost asleep when she begins her humming again.

“In the still, of the night. Are you still, feeling alright? You’re feeling alright.”

Adora and Glimmer both tense and listen intently to the sound of their lullaby coming from behind them.

“In the still, of your mind. Are you still, putting up a fight? Just tell me that I’m right.”

The song continues and Adora’s chest is clinched, her muscles tense with excitement. Glimmer on the other hand is completely relaxed listening to Catra’s voice.

“I handled you like broken porcelain, but really I'm the one that's delicate. I handled you like broken porcelain, but maybe I'm the one that's breaking.”

The last verse has Glimmer gripping to Adora’s night shirt as she hears the words leaving Catra’s lips. Something about it just hurts her, hearing how she’s feeling.

“Baby, lay your head down. Baby, I’m only in your dreams now.”

As she finishes the final chorus and goes back to humming, her girls roll over and turn the tides to hold her instead.

It doesn’t put them to sleep tonight but Adora thinks that she would miss sleep more often if it meant hearing Catra sing to her more often.

When Aly and AJ said "I handled you like broken porcelain, but really I'm the one that's delicate. I handled you like broken porcelain, maybe I'm the one that breaking" I felt that
