She-Ra | Defiance CH 8: Mother
Catra learns how the Horde found her - and that those who gave her to the Horde are still a threat. She wants to understand who she is now, but how can she when nothing makes any sense?
This is a lot of emotion and a little plot. (Well, moderate plot.) We're going to be with Catra for a chapter or three before we go back to Adora.
This is what? Two weeks of me actually posting on a schedule, with lots of story still to go?
See, I had a plan. Most of the first half was written, right? Right! Only, I keep finding scenes I need. Scenes that should have already been there. So I've written some new stuff.
Thankfully, I don't chapter things when I write. I do that after I write, usually right before I post. So adding new scenes doesn't screw with much - but sometimes I end up writing the scene right before I post, which is a harrowing feeling I do not like.
Confession: I even edited a single phrase into chapter two.
And I have to edit the new stuff. The second scene I posted in this chapter is one of those new bits. So it might read a bit rougher than I'd like, but everything I wanted to be there is in there. I just hope it hits right.
Unlike most of the fic, no one has read it but me. Normally, @astrynserene tells me if I did it right before y'all read it. (They are amazing, and you should check out their work on AO3. Heart of Halfmoon is their @spopbang fic, and one of my favorite AUs is their Blonde Next Door series.)
Though the story is going to alternate between Adora and Catra for a long while before they meet up again, their chapters will come in waves - a group of Catra chapters, then a group of Adora chapters, so forth and so on. I think Catra has more than Adora right now, which - when I first came up with the idea, I despaired of having enough Catra story to justify the premise.
Instead, she's got more scenes than I ever thought I would have for her!

Art by @neopuff
Shadow Weaver isn't the only thing Adora sees in the Shadows after she leaves the Fright Zone. Everywhere she looks she sees Catra, she would think she was going crazy if Catra didn't actually make an appearance so often. The more time goes on and Adora gets comfortable in Bright Moon, the easier it is to shake off the panic that sets in when a tree or bush looks a little too Catra-shaped. Adora never stops looking for her though. However, the lines are blurred as to what is truly a threat and what is just her imagination so often that eventually, some things slip through the cracks.
Or, five times Adora imagines Catra is there and one time Catra was actually there.
Hello! I got the amazing opportunity to be a part of the @spopbang! I've never been a part of something like this and it's been so cool talking with other writers and artists who are all coming together to show their appreciation for this series. It's been a blast and I'm so grateful to Carro for the awesome art she made and to Tippen for hosting this event.

And that, my friends, is a wrap on the 4th Anniversary SPOP Big Bang! 
We had just under forty brand new fanfics and fanart go up over the last week (with a few latecomers still to come), so many beautiful works of art and amazing stories!
In many cases, people went above and beyond with multiple works of art and multi-chapter fanfics much higher than the word count minimum and we can't thank our wonderful participating artists and writers enough for not just being wonderful to work with, but also sharing your beautiful creations and love of SPOP with everyone!
A big thank you also to the mods of the SPOP Creative Flex discord for letting us use their space to run this event and helping with the influx of new people who joined for the event. And of course a big thanks to everyone who has shared and interacted with the stuff made for the Big Bang to encourage our fandom creators! 
If you missed anything posted this week, you can find everything in the Big Bang Collection on AO3 as linked below.
Many of the stories are still on going so make sure you subscribe and enjoy the new content as it trickles out.
Happy finale-versary everyone!  
<3 your Big Bang mod, @tippenfunkaport

Pairings: Adora/Catra (Catradora). Fandom: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018). Series: somewhere between the sand and stardust (Part 1)
Rating: T. Chapters: 4/4 (Complete). Words: 25k.
Summary: Most people are trying to find themselves in their twenties, but Adora is just trying to find out what she is. The internet is supposed to bring the world’s knowledge to their fingertips, but it isn’t helpful for finding what magical species goes through this many weird incidents in their lifetime. Adora’s journey leads her across Etheria, but nothing falls into place until she spots a mysterious kitten that looks familiar but always stays out of sight. Following it finally brings her the answers she has been looking for, but it’s only the beginning of a new quest: to learn how to use her magic without accidentally blowing up a bus stop. It doesn’t count as property destruction if she didn’t know she was doing it, right? (An ethereal magical realism AU in modern Etheria)
Part of the SPOP 4th Anniversary Big Bang with my illustration partner @karo-lynn!

🔥🔥🔥 IT’S BANG TIME BABYYY🔥🔥🔥
Bit of a last-minute cram in the end 😅 but at long last, the first chapter of my fic “Friends With Benefits” is live! If you’re looking for Vegas-centered slowburn with hot queer vampires, copious amounts of smut, and a dash of (lovingly-addressed) mommy issues, go ahead and check it out! And if you really love me, go check it out at 1 am PST!! because that will give me time to fix the formatting issues!!!
Enjoy ;) And a million thanks to @glimmerqueen22, who created this absolutely gorgeous artwork for a yet-to-be-released scene in the fic ❤️ I’ll be updating twice a week, so expect new updates very soon.

Catradora! But make it a fairytale!
I had the honor of working on this year's SPOP Big Bang with the amazing Lettuce (lettucedraws8 on instagram) I love the art they made of a young Catradora sitting on the beach and falling in love.
Which, you should enjoy this moment because this is a Cinderella AU...
Thank you for letting me be a part @spopbang

Illustration of a scene from How Not to Un-abdicate by @leera6 for the Shera Big Bang Project (@spopbang) !
[Summary :
A year and a half ago, Catra has had to abdicate. Now, the only way to get back the crown and free Teelen, is to marry Adora.
Adora has mixed feelings about that.
And by mixed, she means bad.
It doesn't help that no one even bothered asking her first, but with all that's at stake, how could she say no?]
Please, go read it !
