Summary
“You are not taking good enough care of yourself,” Caitlyn starts, looking towards the fountain. She’s lost weight and her cheeks are hollowed, the knuckles of her hand too pronounced into Vi’s grasp. “I need you now, more than ever, Violet.”
“You have me,” Vi says, as a matter of fact. As if she has anyone else to live for, to give her loyalty to. “In any way you’d want me.”

Summary
Vi had seen it—just out of reach. A chance to be whole again, to bring her family back together, or at least what was left of them. It was right there. But once again, her world had been shattered in her fingertips.
Caitlyn had seen it—her life flashing before her eyes. Regrets, failures, and the guilt of letting her mother’s death blind her into a hollow search for vengeance. But through it all, one thing stood out: the person she truly wanted—the person she’d lost while chasing what she thought she should want. And now, she was about to lose her again.
OR
Directly following the battle of 2x09 and the aftermath that follows. Beaten and broken, both Vi and Caitlyn find themselves looking for their reasons to continue the fight. When you're lost in the darkness, look for the light.

Summary
Caitlyn allowed herself to indulge in the sight of her. Taking in every detail, no matter how small. The messy, uneven growth of the short side of her hair. The slowly healing cut slicing its way through the tattoo on her cheek. Dark circles under wide eyes, affectionate and present, yet with a lingering sadness that made Caitlyn’s heart ache for her.
“How are you doing?” Caitlyn asked quietly.
The answer to her question was a slow, measured exhale. Silence, presumably while Vi debated how truthful of an answer to give. Her brows knit together in a frown while her eyes never left Caitlyn’s.
“You can be honest with me,” Caitlyn added, reaching across the narrow space between them to rest her hand on Vi’s forearm, stroking her thumb lightly across her skin. “If you’d like to.”***
When the smoke clears, Caitlyn and Vi do their best to navigate the way their lives have changed in the aftermath. The good and the bad. The weight of old wounds and the fresh sting of new ones. But Caitlyn makes a discovery that gives them an unexpected hope. And they find that, together, this new life might just be something they can both get used to.

Summary
This work explores Caitlyn's emotional turmoil, the tension built up during their climactic breakup scene in Act 2 Episode 3, and, yes, the awful part where Caitlyn walks off and hears Vi's cries in the background! If you're looking for fluff, this is not it, but it is very canon-compliant.
“I keep telling myself that you’re different. But you’re not,” Caitlyn's voice dropped. "It's her blood in your veins."
Vi flinched, the words hitting their mark, but Caitlyn didn’t care. She turned sharply on her heel, moving past Vi. Each step felt like she was fighting to put distance between herself and the boiling rage threatening to consume her. Every step felt heavier than the last, but the space between them felt like it was closing in, suffocating her. She couldn’t let herself explode — not here. Not in front of Vi.
