    Summary

    Caitlyn Kiramman, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-six years in the world with only the Hund sisters to distress or vex her. Or, wait—It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single Kiramman in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of the newly hired groundskeeper.

    *

    Regency-adjacent AU: after the loss of both her father and the family groundskeeper, Caitlyn is summoned to her home estate from the questionable pleasures of town. Rumours abound of the unsavoury sort taken on at the Kiramman estate, and Caitlyn finds herself face-to-face with a woman she has not seen that last decade.

    Summary

    Slowly, her brain came back to Runeterra. She blinked, trying to focus on her surroundings. Vi had been laid to rest on an old, tattered red chair tucked against a bean bag so she could stretch out her legs. Above her, there was a colorful canopy illuminated with string lights. Amongst the clutter on the little table sat a ragdoll with a body made out of a music box with woven bright magenta hair.

    Vi had an idle thought of the ragdoll being dressed in a vaguely familiar manner, before her eyes landed on her own younger face, painted in watercolor inside a wooden frame.

    The recognition took a moment to sink in. “What the fuck?”

    Or: Vi visits that other timeline.

    Summary

    “About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”

    “Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”

    “Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”

    “Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”

    Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.
