    Summary

    “You could take up a lover.”
    In a blink, Caitlyn’s eyes blow wide. And wider. Her wife didn’t really say that, did she. She couldn’t. Caitlyn must have misheard.
    “What?”


    A year and a half after the accident that changed both their lives, Caitlyn and her wife face the fact that things might never go back to the way they used to be.

    Summary

    “What now?” Jillian asks. “The halo is gone. No more warrior nuns to lead the OCS.”

    What next indeed. Beatrice, for her part, hasn’t thought that far ahead. All she can think about, all she knows, is Ava’s face holding back tears as she says ‘I love you’.

    “Ava said I should go live my life. I think I’ll go do that.”

    Beatrice travels and grows.

    Summary

    In the two years she’d worked at Kiramman Enterprises, Vi had never seen anyone else go in or out of that door, had never caught a glimpse of what it concealed.

    Vi wasn’t paid to ask questions, she was paid to fix problems.

    But…

    Summary

    ”This is Vi,” Powder speaks up before Vi gets a chance. “She’s my sister.”
     
    “You think I’m your sister,” Vi corrects her. The kid rolls her eyes. Caitlyn looks almost like she’s frowning as her eyes dart between them, brow furrowed but her mouth is still very slightly curved upward; definitely a politician.

    “Well,” she says, “that’s certainly a development.”


    When a runaway claiming to be family shows up at Vi’s doorstep, what should have been a simple task bringing the kid back ends up changing her life in ways she never expected.

    Summary

    Her relatively brief life had taught many things, good and bad. One of her first memories taught her that there were silences that could be deafening in their meaningfulness, in the weight they carried, in the importance of what was not being told but understood nonetheless. Today, Vi learned that even the loudest explosion, an event bound to be deafening in its thunderous cacophony of igniting black powder, roaring flames sparking to life and consuming everything in their wake, the shattering of glass in millions of tiny shining shards and the crumbling of carefully placed stones and tiles could actually be completely and utterly silent. 

    In the aftermath of Jinx's destruction of the Council tower, Caitlyn and Vi struggle to pick up the pieces and patch them together the best they can.

    Changed the title because it sounded better.
