Unfortunately, despite making it through 13 chapters and leaving off on a cliffhanger for the last two chapters, it appears the work maybe a Dead Fic as the last chapter was uploaded November 28th 2021 with no real word from ButchOsprey in quite a bit of time.

These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

** Castaspella believes that Catra killed Glimmer and has been hunting her for the better part of the TimeSkip between AVEC and this story.

Although she enters a recovery period with Catra by her side, the symptoms flare up again after [[spoiler: Catra reveals that Glimmer is Ahyoka's reincarnation, meaning that Glimmer tried to kill her literal soulmate. This sequence of events ends up leading into Glimmer's [[DrivenToSuicide second suicide attempt.]]]]
** Even though they're slowly warming up to one another, Catra still doesn't entirely trust Glimmer and can't quite reconcile her re-emerging feelings with the brutal dictator Glimmer once was.
