Chances are, if you’ve read any catradora fanfiction, you’ve heard of As Long As We Stay Together (If We Just Stay Together) by HeroTheHardWay. Hero’s unique fic took the fandom by storm with her creative spin on the characters and her beautiful worldbuilding.[1]
the antarctica AU that everyone knows is amazing :,) adora is an astrophysics PhD student who ends up working with her old college roommate . it’s so good <3[3]
god, this fiction is incredible. it’s clear the author knows a lot about the subject & spent a lot of time on it & it’s just great. nsfw scenes though so read w discretion!! anyway this is one of my all-time favourites & i’ve loved herothehardway’s writing ever since. seriously, the way they incorporate the show details… yes[4]
It’s the entire ensemble on the South Pole research station, why wouldn’t you want to read that?...
Make sure your patience is replenished. These idiots will severely test it.[5]
I have to say it’s definitely one of my favorite fics so far ! So, to anyone who is open to a completely unique, very well written and researched Catradora fanfic, definitely get around to reading this one[6]
The Antarctica AU is required Catradora reading! If you haven't read it yet, please do[7]
I read the Antarctica Catradora AU the other day and I wish I could wipe it from my mind so I could reread it without having any memoy of it and experience it for the first time. I LOVE getting Really Into a good, long fic[8]
