Summary
Adora sighs and slides her backpack off her tired shoulders and onto the dusty floor. This place would be her home indefinitely, so she would have to make do with what she could get, even if it was an old empty apartment in a town she’d never been in before. The alternative was a lot worse, she knows.Her thoughts are interrupted by the faint jingle of keys unlocking the front door and two people talking.----OR: Adora has been alone for her entire life until... she's not.
Note
Ok, this is a REALLY self-indulgent fic, so I'm really hoping you guys enjoy it because it means a lot to me. If you want to give me any constructive criticism or just say what you thought of the fic, you should leave a comment! Or, you could give a kudo! I really appreciate either and they really motivate me.I'll give some backstory so this fic makes a little more sense:The Fright Zone is an orphanage. Adora went to the Fright Zone until she aged out at 18. She spent one year in a shelter, and then she lived in her car for two years. She gets a job at Brightmoon Café and, after working there for a few months, rents the apartment above it. Getting the job and being able to rent the apartment was really difficult due to her living situation, but Angella (the shop owner) was really helpful. Adora doesn't talk to anyone she works with until Bow and Glimmer show up. Nobody at Brightmoon café knows that Adora is from the FZ, except for Angella, Glimmer, and Bow. Horde Tattooing is the tattoo shop directly beside the café. It's run by Huntara. Catra, Scorpia, Lonnie, Double Trouble, and Entrapta work there. Hordak is their higher up, and he's rarely in the shop. Horde Prime doesn't exist in this universe. Catra, Scorpia, and Entrapta live in the apartment above the tattoo shop.The rest will be explained. Hope you enjoy this!
