Summary
“Sorry, cupcake, didn’t know where else to go.” It’s more or less the truth. Vi didn’t know how she climbed out of the undercity at this hour, all she had known was that no one down there was going to help her and there was someone in Piltover who would. It was strange, to need help in a town she used to know so intimately and not have a single person to stitch her up, but sometimes that’s just the way it goes. Either way, she’s at Caitlyn’s door now.
Long after they had met, Vi and Caitlyn began to sleep with each other. It was a casual affair, all flesh and tongues and desperation. It was nothing, two sort-of-maybe friends blowing off some steam. Until it became more than it should have been and Vi couldn't take it. Months later, she's bleeding out on Caitlyn's doorstep. Funny how things work out this way.

Summary
They don't need to see that monster's face to know what will happen if it catches them; it has claws, it has teeth, it chatters with voices that aren't its own and all of it can't be explained.
Lost in the Normandy Woods, Blake and Yang have been running from that monster and its only one thing that's kept them alive for all this time - don't look back. Your supplies are dwindling, there's a storm brewing in the air; you've got a few bullets left and you better make them count.
So they run, but they can't hide; there are monsters in these woods and you better start running.

Summary
AU: Blake is disillusioned: with her career in the White Fang Ballet, with her oppressive boyfriend and ballet master, and her life in general. A chance visit to the Shattered Moon Circus, however, introduces her to trapeze artist and aerial dancer Yang, who offers to teach Blake how to fly. As she learns to let go and trust in the people who catch her, she falls in more ways than one when it comes to Yang.
“Blake,” Sienna says, calmly. “Have you lost your goddamn mind?”
And maybe she has. After all, Blake can't just run away and join the circus.

Summary
AU: Yang's never been the kind of person to pick up hitchhikers, but most hitchhikers don't end up in the middle of the desert with no water. Blake might as well have been dropped there by aliens.
You can come as far as you want with me. Maybe we'll find our way home.

Summary
AU: Yang can’t imagine a life that isn’t spent on the ocean. She lives and breathes the salty air, and feels right at home aboard the Huntress, where she spends her days catching fish. As much as she loves the ocean, though, she’s long accepted that she’ll never know every secret the ocean has to offer. The vast waters will always hold its mysteries, and Yang is content enough just to live on its surface and never question what lies beneath.
This all changes when Yang hauls something unexpected out of the water. Blake Belladonna is every mystery Yang’s never thought about, every fairy tale come to life. She’s beautiful and alluring, and something about her calls to Yang. But Blake has secrets of her own, secrets that just might prove more threatening than the ocean itself.
But for the first time, Yang wants to take that plunge and uncover all of them.

Summary
It’s been a year but Yang knows her, knows what her body means in the way it moves, knows every tilt of her mouth, every blink, every beat of her heart, every chamber of it, the way it bruises and bleeds and bumps against her chest. I’ve lived there, Yang thinks of telling her, please let me leave. But Blake is silent and doesn’t move.
The truth is easy for Yang to see until it isn't. I love you, Blake says. It's the only reason I've ever done anything.
There you go, Yang says, lying again.

Summary
She kisses Yang back just as furiously, teeth biting on her bottom lip hard enough to hurt, and when they part her swollen lip is the only thing Blake’s able to comprehend - how pretty Yang looks without her cocky smile, when her mouth is relegated to other things and can’t fucking speak. How pretty she looks when she’s so close Blake can barely see the details, cataloging the sun setting against a lavender sky and the tip of her tongue slipping out to wet her lips. Oh, but that’s later; they’ll deny this, first. It’s just better for business.
What, Yang says, do I look like I'm made of money?
Yes, Blake thinks of saying. Yes, you kind of do. Like the world owes you just for living.

Summary
Blake looks at her and swears she can see the particles of the universe settling, can see them laid out and miraculous like a map of fates for gods, can see the stars all spinning at her from underneath a sky that could very well be a dark, murky ocean. The truth is that it's been six years of too much fear and not enough skin. This is the anatomy of breaking down.
Date me, Yang says, which seems like a great idea at the time.

Summary
Maybe she's tired of the limitations of wealth, the grandeur, the opulence. Maybe she's tired of seeing the same people day in and day out whose only substance is composed of the drugs they snort. But without that, there's only Yang - Yang who smirks at her like there's a joke she's never in on, who shows up in spaces she doesn't belong and makes them want her.
Belladonna, Yang says, her eyes glittering as if opalescent. I’ve been bored.
Nobody ever talks back to rich kids, and Blake loves it a little more than she dares to admit. That doesn’t last. It never does.

Summary
Yang's untouchable; Blake's anything but. The first time they meet can't be the first at all, not with Yang lighting up every billboard on the Sunset Strip and Blake's voice crooning through the radio regardless of the station, not when every motion of Yang's is achingly familiar and every turn of Blake's mouth leads like a staircase. It's Hollywood, and Yang's spent years learning how to get exactly what wants her - Blake's spent years running from it.
If I could, Blake says, I'd kiss you right now.
If I could, Yang says, I'd let you.

Summary
I’ll never leave you, even if it’s me. Yang makes a promise in spite of fate; fate makes her regret it.
Eight teenagers run away from home, bound by a duty to return for a ritual in which one of their lives will be traded for the rest of the world’s peace. At least, that’s what they’ve been led to believe since birth: Be strong, be smart, and be alone. If you are to die, it is an honor.
Or maybe it’s a lie.
Eight teenagers run away from home, and upon returning nine years later, they’ve broken a few too many rules to go quietly.
(Blake thought she was seeing things, then. Thought she loved a girl so much she made her a god, mythologized her, created a folktale so gorgeous and enormous it’d surpass the one they actually lived in. Now she knows she wasn’t.)

Summary
There are a few things Yang knows for sure: nothing beats a fresh snowfall; all skiers are total nerds; her sister has never done anything wrong in her entire life; and every single time Blake Belladonna smiles at her, she feels like she’s at the top of her favorite slope, heart in her throat, board hanging over the edge. (She also knows that, someday soon, she’s going to have to do something about that last one.)

Summary
“Let me get this straight. You broke up with Sun on the night of your six-month anniversary, after he spent hundreds of dollars to impress you, just because you got some texts from a total stranger?”
Weiss stares at her, an eyebrow lifted so high it’s lost behind her bangs, and then she cracks up in the loudest laugh Blake ever heard coming out of her.

Summary
“So Mercury was being gross around Blake and she told him she was seeing someone and when Yang came over and told him to get lost he assumed that Yang was Blake’s girlfriend and so now you’re just going for it and pretending to be in a committed, romantic relationship because you don’t want to give Mercury the satisfaction of thinking he was worth coming up with a lie to avoid.” Ruby sucks in a deep breath and nods to herself, head bobbing with the sharp and rapid jerks of her chin. “Got it! Makes sense to me!”
