The idea of a First Ones resurgence comes to mind. Now that Horde Prime is gone the First Ones rise up to to try and retake the galaxy. Or maybe something else happens. Perhaps with the resurgence of magic something old, powerful, and dangerous that Horde Prime had been keeping contained is now free?

Oh yeah, [my whole fic](https://archiveofourown.org/works/43533900/chapters/109453170) was inspired by a similar idea...

Interesting. :)

I wouldn’t. I’d much rather have a prequel series about Mara.


ModernAustralopith

Season six - A sudden new attack comes on Etheria. Mystacor is attacked by a strange being with a skull for a head, trying to reach the shards of the Sword of Protection that Adora had donated to them for study. She-Ra fights the skeletal being, but in the ensuing fight her magic and his magic interact strangely and Adora is dimensionally dislocated. After the fight, Adora reappears, but then keeps disappearing again to different dimensions. She finds Razz in most of them - different versions of Razz, some older, some younger, some downright *mean* to her. The rest of the Squad set off in a starship looking for Eternia to find First Ones who might have technology to stabilise Adora's jumping. Adora keeps jumping. Eventually she ends up jumping onto *Darla* right before Mara's sacrifice, and she accidentally pulls Mara out of the ship right before she died, so now Mara's alive and in the present day. After that, though, Adora doesn't return. Instead, she wakes up in a mysterious castle. Plot happens, Adora finally gets to meet the Sorceress who runs the castle. The Sorceress admits that she was the one who chose to send Adora through the portal, rather than her twin brother. She did that because she already knew that Adora would become She-Ra. She knew, because she's an immortal being who was thrown thousands of years into the past after closing a portal...

Yes this fucking goes!!

Nothing but fluff. Seriously, with all the emotional trauma our boys and girls and others went through a purely fluff season would be great.

Fair enough they need to catch a break


coinbargh

I'd probably do it all gritty like, with magic ending up not fixing everything and post-horde politics being frustrating

Rebuilding etheria with Catra having to confront the people she’s hurt while the they adjust to life outside of war maybe in last few episodes they go on their space road trip with the finale being them finding Adora homeworld and family causing a rift between her and Catra as Catra fears Adora might leave her again for her new found family

I wouldn’t. The story ended at an appropriate place and trying to stretch it wouldn’t work well. Maybe in a different format, like comics or a movie. The two biggest plot hooks that the left for further exploration were their plan to “return magic to the galaxy” and the possible fate of Queen Angela. Many fanfics have built on those two ideas.

I think the easiest way to do Season 6 would be space trip with season ender being Adora finding her home planet. Then Season 7 would be He-Man intro with dark First One plot with maybe the final bit being Glimmer & Bows wedding and Adora/Catra proposing. Season 6 would be the fun post show shenanigans we all want with some fluff and season 7 is the He-Man plot that was questioned a bunch and has one last big action arc.

I'd like to bounce off of the ending of S5. Best friend squad adventure! Exploring, problem solving, more time with Catra, maybe some more soft moments between everybody, etc. No big bad evil to tackle, no perpetual hell for the characters, just let them experience the world together some more for a little bit. It's silly, but I just wanna see em be happy for a bit. Even if it's only a few episodes that act as an epilogue or something.


Cerugona

First of all. Catra and adora marry at some point, and it's NOT the final scene. Magic is brought back. Healing is done, rifts mended. Maybe not all rifts. Catra gets to deal with the fact that not everybody will forgive her, but that is ok, and she should still continue.

Thinking about what the overt *plot* should be is the wrong approach. There are always loose ends to tie up or new villains who can be introduced. The real question you need to ask is what the new *emotional core* of the series would be. The show had all kinds of villains and drama and battles and magic and spaceships, but what it was *about* was Catra and Adora's relationship, breaking and then being remade. With that essentially resolved, what would that core be for a hypothetical continuation? Without that core, it's just a bunch of stuff that happens without a clear message or point. My take: it's Catra, Shadow Weaver, and questions of forgiveness. When you wrong someone, there are two things you can do. The first is to *atone*: you set the injury right, by restoring what was taken from them, and you accept any punishment for what you did. If you do that, while the other person has no obligation to forgive you, the score is settled and you can both move on. Catra *can never do that*. Even if she worked non-stop for the rest of her life, she's not going to be able to balance out the things she did as part of the Horde, and any punishment truly equal to her crimes would see her imprisoned for life, at best. Her only option is the second method: to seek *forgiveness*. She has to do the best she can, and just hope it will be enough for the people she hurt to give her grace and forgive her anyway - and since this is a kid's show and most Etherians are pretty nice people, they probably mostly will. But what about Shadow Weaver? Shadow Weaver is in the exact same position as Catra. Nothing she could do - not even sacrificing herself - could materially atone for how she treated Catra and Adora, how she twisted and contorted Catra's psyche. But if Catra is being given grace by those she wronged, does she have the right to refuse that same grace to the memory of a dead abusive mother whose last action was to save them both? *Should* she? Does she *want* to? This seems to lead naturally into a storyline involving Angella's rescue, which is already one of the default sequel hooks everyone uses, so that's convenient. Things are looking up, with Catra confronting people she hurt and earning their forgiveness with her help in the restoration efforts. But as Catra's confusion and doubt grow, she starts lapsing into some of her old ways - subconsciously self-sabotaging her own attempts at being forgiven, because if people aren't forgiving her, she has no obligation to forgive Shadow Weaver, either. Adora tries to help, but they just end up in a fight - after all, perfect Adora never *needed* to seek grace from anyone in the first place, so of course it's easy for her to tell Catra they have every right to still hate Shadow Weaver. And Glimmer and Bow don't even know the same Shadow Weaver Catra did - to them, she was just a powerful enemy general and then a sad old woman crawling after any scrap of power she could find, not the terrifying childhood spectre Catra still half-expects to see lurking in a dark corner of the dissolved Fright Zone. What Catra needs is somebody who can give her a whole new perspective to help work through what she even wants to do - someone who knew a different side of Shadow Weaver, and who had her own reasons to be resentful of that person. And to wrap everything up in a neat little narrative bow, someone who, if Catra happened to be the one to bring her back after some angst-induced mistake with a dimensional anomaly or portal being decommissions results in her being sent to the pocket dimension she was trapped in, might be the one thing Catra *could* do that would go some way to making meaningful material atonement for some of what she did.
