comment
Don't Go is a She-Ra and the Princesses of Power short story fan-fic by Annacharlier, detailing the emotional aftermath of two episodes from Season 5 of the series, Episode 5: Save the Cat and Episode 6: Taking Control.Picking up where episode 5 left off, Adora tries to help Catra come to terms with what happened to her, assuring her that she is indeed safe and away from Horde Prime. Catra, in the meantime, is coming to grips with the fact that she is in the one place she never expected to be and doesn't believe she deserves to be: with Adora.The story gained fame when She-Ra's very own showrunner, ND Stevenson, revealed he had written a fan-fic and posted it online. While he refused to name it, the hints he gave led fans to this story and many feel it lines up. It helps that this is Annacharlier's only fic, and that it matches with an artwork ND posted on Twitter.

Darker and Edgier: Adora and Catra both cuss a couple times; Catra draws blood on herself and Adora during a panic attack; and Adora catches herself admiring Catra's naked body after ripping off her Galactic Horde uniform.

All There in the Manual: The fic adds extra information onto the ends of episode 5 and 6, mostly in how Adora helped Catra after rescuing her from Horde Prime, but also adds a few more mundane details. Bow and Glimmer have apparently started to become a romantic couple by Episode 5 The clothes Catra wears in Episode 6 are Adora's spares. Catra's new outfit for the rest of Season 5 was made by Entrapta

Self-Harm: Catra begins clawing at herself to try and get the Horde uniform off to the point that she draws blood. It's also mentioned that she may have done this to herself after Adora left the Horde.

Holding Hands: In order to comfort her Entrapta grabs Catra's hand during her You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech and looks her in the eyes. This shocks Catra especially since she can tell Entrapta is uncomfortable with prolonged physical contact but she appreciates it and it helps her feel better.

comment
Please, Don't Leave Me: As the title might infer the fic's base plot is about Adora and Catra not wanting the other to ever leave them again. While neither of them are able to directly articulate this point, except in their minds, the story does culminate in Catra silently asking Adora to spend the night with her.

comment
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: After Adora offhandedly mentions that she has been waiting years for her to join the Rebellion, Catra realizes that all of the pain and misery she has inflicted on herself and others could have been avoided if she had just taken Adora's hand so long ago. The realization leaves her a broken, sobbing wreck, until Entrapta gives her some words of encouragement.

The Atoner: Entrapta reveals that she feels guilty over the damage her pursuit of science has caused Etheria but that she will use the second chance given to her to be better, and encourages Catra to do the same. At the end of the fic Catra vows to Adora that she will become a better person and make up for what she has done.

Something Only They Would Say: Adora inverts this in order to convince Catra that she isn't in a simulation created by Horde Prime by calling him a loser who never knows when to shut up which, being the massive narcissist he is, is something Prime would never say about himself. It's enough to convince Catra that she was really saved and gets her to laugh.

Healing Factor: Adora's thoughts reveal she has one, all her wounds no matter how grievous heal when she transforms, but she also mentions that she can still feel them and at times can feel worse then if the wounds had just stayed. It’s implied her Healing Hands have a similar effect and the only real cure is to get rest.

Compliment Backfire: When Adora happily remarks she's been waiting for Catra to join the Rebellion for years, Catra realizes that all the bloodshed and destruction she'd caused had been All for Nothing and that she could have been together with Adora right from the start. Adora tells Catra she likes her hair, forgetting or not realizing that it was forcibly cut by Horde Prime. She's pretty horrified when Catra makes a joke about Prime giving her a good haircut until Catra tells her that it's fine.

Clothing Damage: Played for Drama; During her panic attack Catra practically cries when begging Adora to take off her Horde uniform, and unable to find a way to do it naturally Adora opts to just tear the garment off of Catra. It does come a bit back around to Fanservice as after a moment Adora sheepishly realizes that while lost in thought she was staring at a naked Catra.

Anti-Climax: Played for Laughs as Adora is left rather annoyed at Catra's lack of response to eating real food as oppose to ration bars as she herself had when she first left the Horde. Catra replies that there was contraband food in the Fright Zone if you knew where to look and that Adora was the only one square enough not to even try.
