    Summary

    Vi rolled her eyes as Caitlyn followed her into the bathroom, whirling on her the second the door closed.

    “What the fuck is your deal? Thought it might be fun to slum it for the night with the gutter trash who rescued you out there? You’re welcome, by the way.”

    “No, I–” Caitlyn made a noise of frustration, face scrunching up, and then she was really fuckin’ close.

    Vi held her breath, not wanting to break the weird fucking moment.

    “You’re infuriating,” Caitlyn breathed, and Vi tried - and failed - not to shiver when warm breath ghosted over her lips.

    “Yeah, well–” Vi started to snark back…and then Vi’s night was officially the weirdest she’d had in a while, because Caitlyn Kiramman, conservative politician’s daughter, was kissing her like she was fucking starving and Vi was an all-you-can-eat buffet in the desert.

    Summary

    Vi shook her head, too fast. “You don’t know what you saw.”

    “I do. I saw finger marks, Vi. Around your throat.” Caitlyn’s voice rose despite herself, and her eyes were sharp, searching. “Are you really going to pretend I imagined that?”

    Vi looked cornered. Her body tensed, as if every muscle inside her had seized up. Her eyes darted to the pavement, to the trees, to anywhere but Caitlyn.

    “I don’t—” she started, her voice small.

    “Why won’t you let me care about you?” Caitlyn asked, her voice cracking. “Why won’t you let me in? Is this even a friendship if you won’t let me help?”

    Summary

    “I loved the version of you before the war,” Vi said. “But not because you were unbreakable. Not because you had your shit together. You don’t have to earn shit or match expectations that were put on you since before you were born. I’m not saying you should give up your ambitions or your drive. I will take care of you through all of it, always, you know that. But please, Caitlyn, just try letting yourself be sometimes,” She wrapped her hands around Cait’s neck, putting her forehead against hers, whispering, ”Just be.”

    Caitlyn breathed out, leaning into Vi’s touch.

    Then chuckled.

    “So we’re on a full name basis now,” she smiled devilishly, “I thought my name was Cupcake. Romance is dead,”

    ___

    After the war, Caitlyn and Vi are learning what normalcy means—between flashbacks, burnt stew, quiet kisses, panic attacks, and inappropriate jokes at wildly inappropriate times.

    This is a story about healing in inches, about the softness that survives, and about love that stays—steady, grounding, a little rough around the edges.
