A hook writer for stories and ideas. I can help with OC direction if you are up for it. Remember one thing above all else: "Have Fun With It."

Follow your heart? What if it isn’t yours?

Hey Magicatra peeps! Here is an idea for you guys. There is potential but IDK where to go with it. 

So as I said before this will be a Magicatra AU. Or at the very least it will have a base foundation of a Magicatra AU. 

Anyway in this AU Adora has the brand (or is it just a magical mark?) from the Heart of Etheria early on. Like as in a baby early (maybe not that early? I am kinda playing loose with this idea) 

At first the brand would glow like in cannon and as she gets older it would settle into something more like a tattoo. (I say this only for my own sense of aesthetic. because a Horde soldier with a glowing brand on their chest just wouldn’t mesh IMO) 

Shadow Weaver even though can easily sense the overpowering well of Adora’s magic, she herself could never tap into it. (So at the very least baby and toddler Adora are safe... Well as safe as cannon Adora was during that time). 

The only thing Shadow Weaver could do was teach Adora only the most basic of spells. This is because Adora has so much raw magical power ebbing and flowing through her at any given time she would overpower anything more complicated. ((Note: basic spell IMO is like a simple heal, i.e. burses and small scrapes, or maybe a shield or armor buff spell))

Now for the Magicatra stuff:

You may be wondering, “if Adora already has Heart of Etheria why couldn’t/wouldn’t be She-Ra too?” 

Which I reply, “Ah... I didn’t think that far ahead. Shut up.” 

Lol. 

But in all seriousness, Let’s say it could be a few things:

1. Shadow Weaver’s meddling warped/corrupted Adora’s magic, preventing her from being a balancing force Etheria needs.

2. Basically being a ‘living runestone’ she has free will. As such has been subconsciously repressing the call to action because she is ‘For the Horde’

3. Light Hope being Light Hope. She sees Adora possessing the Heart but not activating it as a problem. So she decides to use ‘the right key’ (Catra) to unlock that power that Adora has unwittingly locked away.

4.  I want a Magicatra AU. And the added drama when it is reveled that Adora might have to be sacrificed to save the planet would be quite the emotional gut punch. (I like my angst)

So possible reasons aside a few things I want to add to this.

1. Adora is a ‘Living Runestone’ in a sense. She is tapped into the Heart at all times and has a much power in her as other Runestones do. (Not much to this one other than I like the idea of Entrapta making that discovery and referring to Adora as such. I think it would be very cute.)

2. She can cause the magic in Runestones around her to overflow if she gets to close. Shadow Weaver had to teach her how stanch the flow of the magic within herself so it wouldn’t mess with the Black Garnet. (Cant have Adora mess with her precious source of power now can we)  Which means that simply being around other Runestones acts as booster to both herself and the Runestone. Meaning that Adora would get a boost to her natural abilities. A Princess if they were close enough to their Runestone would have their magical output amplified too. (this could be used in fun ways. In that the Princesses could use it to their advantage fighting Adora, or Adora could regulate the flow of her magic to disorient them.)

3. Give a few ‘In Sync’ moments between Adora and Catra. If the Sword of Protection is the “Key” and the Heart of Etheria is the “Lock” there should be moments when they are fighting that they are just synchronized to the point it looks more like they are dancing or predicting each others moves. 

That is the very basic idea I had, and I wrote it down before I forgot anything. What do you guys think?? Is this idea any good? Share your thoughts if you want to. I would be more than happy to get more input to expand this into an actual story.

I got inspired again. (this one i picture happening during the ‘dinner with horde prime’ scene)

“Are you comfortable, your majesty?” Horde Prime asked as he approached the dining table.

Calmly taking the head of the table looked to his two guests with a smile that belied his true nature. 

It struck Glimmer with just how amiable he was being. Like a cat playing with its food. She was terrified with how fitting there meeting was taking place in a dining hall.

“I strive to treat my guests well,” The young queen looked over to her other dinning companion. Adora wasn’t as shaken as she was, or if she was she hide it well under her stoic expression she typically wore.

Prime continued on, “I believe we can learn a great deal from one another.”

His clones presented dishes to all three at the table. 

Prime just watched with silent amusement. 

The constant hum of the spaceship they were in was the only thing preventing the silence from becoming oppressive. 

Glimmer could only look at her the food before her. It was some gelatinous cube. With Prime holding all the cards right now she did the only thing she could at the moment. 

She took a spoonful and tired to eat it. 

She couldn’t get more than a few chews in before Prime spoke up. 

“Ah~” He purred, “Enjoyable yes?”

He explained to the two, shifting his focus to Adora as he spoke “Its a delicacy from a distant world.” 

“Light years away from here.” The blond hadn’t really moved from her spot. 

“It was very much like Etheria,” Glimmer stopped eating and her back straightened.

Knowing he had their full attention his smile grew wider, “This dish is incredibly rare,” he lifted his had as if he was presenting the food as a gift. 

“As that world no longer exists.” And the other boot dropped. 

As calm and as generous as Prime was presenting himself to be. Sitting right in front of the young queen, on a silver platter, was proof of exactly what Prime was capable of. He was able to talk about a planet he destroyed over a meal like one would talk about some trivial fact to friends.

Those implications of just who Prime really was twisted Glimmer’s stomach. She dropped her spoon, it clattering on the table. She covered her mouth in horror. 

Her breathing was short jumping from one quick breath to the next. 

Prime for his part pretended he didn’t notice the look of horror on the young queen’s face. 

His grin was still there as asked, “Seconds?”

“No,” Gaining what control she could over herself Glimmer objected, “No thank you.”

“Speaking of Etheria,” The ever twisted host continued with his charade, “You must miss it terribly.”

“Would you like to see your home world now?” He asked. The empathy in his voice was like blacken oil to her ears. 

With a snap of his fingers the wall behind him lit up in a kaleidoscope of separate screens.

True to his word Prime presented Etheria to his dinner guests. On each screen was some form of desolation. From innocent families running to safety, to princesses and resistance doing their best to fight off Prime’s bots. 

“Why are you doing this?” Glimmer asked, tears at the edge of her eyes.

“Every rebellion forms around a leader,” He informed. “A beacon of hope.” 

He turned his head to a screen changing to a different feed. “That little note of discord.”

 “Ah1″ he purred again, “Here she is.” Stretching out his arm presenting the new feed as condescending as possible. “Your beacon of hope.”  

“Catra,” On the screen was the magicat running as best she could from the danger chasing her. 

Glimmer watched on feeling hopeless. Adora for her part finally reacted. Her fists clenched popping under the strain.

“She-Ra.” He snarled the word, “A nuisance that must be purged in order to bring peace to Etheria.”

They all watched as Catra fought off what bots she could before she got blasted and knocked off balance. 

“Stop!” Glimmer pleaded. 

The feed, that had taken up the full wall at this point, had frozen on a surrounded Catra.

“Don’t hurt her.” She asked.

Seeing how the horde clones had gotten in the defensive stance ready for anything she would try, she quickly had to justify her outburst.

“You-you want to use the weapon right?” He didn’t say anything so she continued, “You need all the princesses!”

“And-and that includes She-Ra. Without her the heart of Etheria is useless.”

“You can’t hurt her,” Her face twisted in anguish as if the idea of Catra being hurt was enough to hurt herself as well. 

Prime merely leaned his chin on the back of his hand. “Very well.”

“This has been most illuminating.” Confidently he boasted, “Thank you, Glimmer. I do look forward to more of our conversations.” 

While he spoke the clones from earlier began to clear the table of the first coarse, “But for now eat up.”  

For the first time Adora speaks up.

“What was that Little Sister?” Prime inquires.

“I said it is strange seeing this from the outside.” The blond repeats.

“And what exactly are you seeing from the outside?” He is genuinely curious, as Adora hasn’t been this bold as to speak out against him sense she boarded the ship.

“Seeing Catra’s safety being used against someone for their compliance.”

“Ah~ Yes.” He nods in faux interest, “I nearly forgot that you care for Catra just as much as Glimmer does.”

“It doesn’t matter.” She tries to hide her snarl.

“But of coarse it does.” His condescending purr was back, “Elevated heart rate. Dilated pupils. Catra means something to you.”

He leaned closer to her examining her, taking her apart and seeing what lies beneath. The warlord smirks at what he finds. 

“My feelings don’t matter.” 

He sighs with a shrug, “I suppose they don’t-”

“You’re going to lose.” 

It was spoken so flatly that everyone in the room stopped to process what she did. 

When her words registered Prime’s mask slipped, his smile he wore all meal changing to a snarl.

“What was that?” 

She turned to him, steel in her eyes. “You are going to lose.”

Prime growled at that. He actually growled at that. 

“A-adora,” Glimmer wanted to be hopeful. But, she also knew that they couldn’t be so brazen. 

Against her plea, Adora continued. “You are going to lose, because you are underestimating Catra.”

“How so?” He asked, glaring at her. “In what way could I be underestimating her?”

“You called her a nuisance. She is more than that.” 

The blond pushes her chair back to stand up. Walking closer to Prime but not looking at him but past him.

She nods to the screens, “I bet your bots already failed to catch her. Probably just scraps by now.” 

The screen turns on when he directs his attention to it. 

A good portion of the screens before remain dark. The few still on she the rebellion to safety.

“Told you,” she smirks at Prime. 

He is up before she can react. Arm outstretched, hand on her throat. 

“You insolent-” 

“Problem Prime?” She tries. 

“Your delusional mind for one. They are just delaying the inevitable. I have an armada invading Etheria.  It is that small band of resistance against the planet.”

“Doesn’t matter. You will still lose.”

His grip tightens cutting off her air ways. 

She grabs his forearm pulling it away from her enough to breathe. 

“The world has always been against Catra. And she has always come out on top. So your bots mean nothing to Catra.” 

His grip tightens again causing her to struggle to breath.

“You aren’t the first to try and bring her down.”

“Sh-shadow Weaver.”

“Hord-ACH.”

His grip tightens further in an attempt to stop her from speaking.

She just smiles a devil may care smile “Y-y-you.”

“You will be just another obstacle in her way.” 

“Enough of this!” Prime shouts as he tosses her over the table into the opposite wall. Knocking her out.

Innocence of an Enemy Soldier

How did it come to this 

The throne room of Bright Moon is packed. Every princess of the Alliance was in the room. The walls were lined with guards, one could count two of them for every person of importance. 

The air was thick with tension. Everything that led up to this point had been, well crazy, for a lack of a better word. 

The two that were in the center of the room dominated the attention of everyone, whether it was guard or princess, all eyes were on them.

Queen Angella sitting on the throne in ever present elegant demeanor. Her posture regal and commanding. 

“Before I make my final judgement I want to make sure that you fully understand what this means for you.” The Queen asked the woman standing before her.

Her opposite, stood definitely before her. Seemingly unaffected by the chains that bound them. They carried themselves in a soldier’s stance, shoulders square, back ramrod straight, chin parallel to the ground, standing at attention. It was like the soldier was born into it. 

“I do.” Was all the flat response of Horde soldier. 

Her steely blue eyes never once leaving The Queen’s. 

The queen tried again more earnestly, almost pleading the blond to reconsider this judgement she was about to deliver.

“That, as per your own request, upon being found guilty of crimes against Bright Moon and the Alliance of the Princesses that you be executed.”

“I am aware.” Was all the soldier said with the simplest and faintest of nods.

Her voice, much like her militaristic stance hadn’t wavered in the slightest. It was strong and determined, willing its owner to see this to the end.

With a heavy sigh, the queen closed her eyes before she started to speak, “Then I, Queen Angella of Bright Moon,” She opened them again to look her captive in their eyes, “Find you Adora Force Captain of the Horde guilty.”

The way those words hung in the air made things so much more real for Catra. This was really happening.

The air lost all its warmth, she went deaf to the world around her, even the color started to dull at the sides of her vision.

As everything faded away she stared numbly into the only thing that she could. 

Those steely blues were the only thing she could focus on and she wondered how things came to this. 

Throughout all her trials as She-ra and as one of the leaders as the rebellion the Magicat couldn’t have pictured things ending like this. Not once sense she had picked up the legendary mantle did the thought cross her mind that this would happen. 

Some part of Catra hoped that she could have convinced Adora to leave the Horde and join the Alliance like she had. 

Now though, she was stuck staring lifetimes into those marvelous blues. Watching as they started to gleam with the first real signs of life they had in a long time. 

It makes Catra want to yell when she sees how that speck of life isn’t determination she had grown up with but acceptance of what is to come.

“Why,” She hears herself say. 

If she is honest with herself, she isn’t even sure if she said it to herself or yelled it with how muddled the world is to her right now.

She knew she cut off the queen from what she was going to say but Catra didn’t care. 

“Why did it have to turn out like this?” She can’t help but ask. Hoping that this will all make sense soon.

When she feels the wet anger well at the corners of her eyes and spillover running down her cheeks she asks again. 

“Why…” 

She can hear her own voice again and it sounds so weak. 

“...Can’t you stay.”
