The main ship here is Adora/Glimmer, with a slight dash of Catra/Glimmer and various other background ships.

Horde Prime is gone. In the wake of his defeat, Adora and Glimmer are set to rebuild their relationship, which had taken a beating in the events of Season 4, but it all changes when Adora is sucked into a mysterious portal and into the multiverse.

[[TimeSkip Ten years later]], Adora returns from her travels but nothing is the same. Most of Adora's loved ones have managed to move on from her absence, Catra is nowhere to be found, and there's something very wrong with Glimmer.

This is the first entry in a planned trilogy with ''Fanfic/Cat-RaPhantomOfTheMysticMountains'' acting as the second entry. It can be found [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/28675776/chapters/70299462 here]].

!!This work provides examples of:
* AnArmAndALeg: Siren Universe Catra gets her arm blasted off in a battle with Queen Glimmer. She has it replaced with a prosthetic, [[spoiler: which surprisingly stays when Catra becomes She-Ra.]]
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Horde Prime tries to force this on Glimmer, both to [[HeirInLaw ensure the continuation of his empire through natural-born heirs]]. Luckily, Adora shows up before Glimmer and Prime get to the altar, and they manage to kill him in a two-on-one battle.
* BabiesEverAfter: Implied with the vision in Chapter 19 and confirmed in the epilogue. According to the author's notes, she will be the focus in a third work, "NOVA: Last of the Cosmos".
* DistractedByTheSexy: Deliberately {{Invoked}} by Queen Glimmer, who uses this tactic to throw her enemies off balance more easily.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** It's briefly mentioned in the first chapter that Catra has been displaying an "odd affection" towards Glimmer, setting up their future relationship.
** Glimmer kills Horde Prime and the narration states she feels absolutely no remorse for doing so, and that she never would. While it's completely understandable that she wouldn't feel guilt over the act, it also illustrates her darker side which is far more exemplified in Queen Glimmer.
** Much like in canon, a black mass escapes Prime's body after Glimmer kills his main form. [[spoiler: The epilogue reveals that this is Prime's soul.]]
** All of this points to the fact that [[spoiler: Queen Glimmer isn't actually dead.]]
* InLoveWithTheMark: Queen Glimmer initially gets close to Adora to [[spoiler: manipulate the hero into activating the Heart of Etheria]], but she catches feelings along the way.
* InSpiteOfANail: Both played straight and subverted. As in canon,
* TheLostLenore: Adora functions as this for Glimmer, which ends up fracturing Glimmer's relationships with Catra and Bow.
* ShoutOut: Many to ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''.
