    Summary

    “You’re drunk? Shit, you’re hammered and you’re pointing a fucking shotgun at me,” the intruder says. Her steely eyes gleam like the necklace tucked away in her jeans, and Caitlyn knows there are a dozen stories behind them. “Look. I’m not gonna hurt you, okay? There’s a reason I chose tonight to come topside. Everyone’s supposed to be at that Council party, and I figured this place would be an easy mark. You need better security, Cupcake. Took me three minutes to get over the gate, up the wall, and through your bedroom window.”

    Caitlyn's long-since settled into a socially advantageous marriage and is excellent at appearing satisfied with her lot in life. Her first act of rebellion in years - skipping the grandest gala of the season - puts her in the path of Vi, a Zaunite with debts to pay and scores to settle.

    Summary

    Vi is the head barista and part-time manager of The Last Drop, a coffee shop and café in Piltover. Caitlyn is a coffee-loving PhD student at the nearby university who spends every weekday working from her favorite table at The Last Drop. Despite an obvious attraction, the two women are immediately at odds with each other the moment their paths cross. Over time, they'll navigate past their differences and form a unique arrangement.

    This is an enemies to friends with benefits to lovers arc set in a modern coffee shop/café AU. I am writing it specifically at the request of my wife, who has a thing for barista-centric fanfics and loves Caitlyn/Vi. Chapter titles are quotes from Arcane.

    B, I love you so much. This is first-and-foremost for you.

    Summary

    “Come on, Caitlyn, you can’t actually believe that your entire life can revolve around football forever. Get a master’s degree, a real one, focus on that.”
    “But football—”
    “Football will still be there when you’re done.”

    BREAKING: Piltover will not renew Caitlyn Kiramman’s contract at the end of the season

    “Is it safe to assume you’ll be joining the football team at Piltover University?”
    “I’ll try out, we’ll see what happens.”

    Who did she think she was?
    Did she expect to come to her team as a game?
    Did she expect everyone to bow and grovel at her feet, begging her to join?
    Vi had been captain for three years and she was going into her final one, if she was expecting to take the captaincy from her, she had another thing coming.
    Just like if she thought she’d just waltz into a starting position.
    Reality was coming, she thought.

    or

    Caitlyn moves from a professional team to a university team and Vi isn't thrilled about having her there, but Kiramman’s really good at football, so she's going to have to deal with it

    Summary

    “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”

    But in Piltover and Zaun, the roles are cruelly cast.

    Detective Caitlyn Kiramman is no stranger to solving crime, but a new wave of Shimmer-related "suicides" pushes her beyond the limits of logic and endurance. Beneath her sharp intellect lies a reliance on stimulants — a crutch she refuses to name.

    Her investigation leads her deep into the shadowed depths of Zaun, where she encounters Vi: pit fighter, bouncer, and ex-con weighed down by guilt and a streak of self-destruction.

    As their cities spiral while the body count rises, Caitlyn and Vi untangle years of shared pain and vices long hidden.

    "Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Blood and revenge are hammering in my head."

    "What does a violet smell like? ... Normand Cardella, a perfume expert, describes the fragrance as 'powdery, a little sweet and decidedly sad. Musically, a violet note would be a minor chord.'" - Doleschal, M. Shakespeare’s Favourite Flowers: The Violet.

    “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.
