Summary
“It’s only for a week. You charm the parents, pretend to be madly in love, maybe hold hands once or twice, and bam — problem solved.”Vi raised an eyebrow. “Hold hands?”
Powder winced. “Okay, maybe more. Like... the wholesome kind of couple stuff. Smiling, sitting too close, saying painfully sincere things straight out of a romcom. Then you never see each other again.”
-or-
Desperate to access a booked-solid lab for her science project, Powder strikes a deal with her professor — he’ll pull strings to get her in, if she can find someone to pose as the fake girlfriend of his friend, Caitlyn, for a week-long family getaway.
-or-
Vi has to pretend to be Caitlyn's girlfriend for a week.

Summary
She’s fifteen when it happens. Jinx has no one to blame but herself and her own curiosity, but in her defense, Sevika got drunk and just wouldn’t shut up about all the fun she got up to in Babette’s brothel. And in the Undercity, kids don’t stay kids for long. Jinx has grown up around this nonsense for years. So she bites the proverbial bullet and decides to see what all the fuss is about.
“It was one time!” Jinx complains in sheer disbelief. “It wasn’t even that good!”

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.

Summary
Caitlyn Kiramman is a psychiatrist. More importantly, she’s a good psychiatrist. She’s inquisitive, empathetic, has a strong desire to help others, and has an even stronger moral compass that guides her behavior in both her private and professional life. So how could she have allowed this to happen?
After discovering she had unwittingly entered into a months-long BDSM relationship with a patient whom she had been denying her attraction to, Caitlyn’s forced to confront matters of her head and her heart, and struggle through the fallout of the two being in direct conflict with each other.
This slipup does not define her. Caitlyn is a moral and ethical person. These rules are in place for a reason, and Caitlyn understands and respects that. But gods… does the ex-con make her question everything.

Summary
After ten years in Stillwater for a crime she didn't commit, Vi breaks herself out and goes home. Her homecoming doesn't go like she thought it would.
Two years later, she's out of control and out on the streets. She's now a champion pitfighter, a raging alcoholic, and completely on her own. Despite her family's best (and desperate) efforts to help, Vi's on a one-way track to ending up either dead or back in prison.
At the same time, Caitlyn arrives in the undercity to collect data and information for her thesis. She starts her research from a local bar called The Last Drop, which puts her right into Vi's path. Vi might have been out of her family's home for years, but she's still not going to let a topsider put them in danger.
Canon divergence (everyone lives!), enemies to lovers (barely, the lovers aspect happens fast), angst, trauma, addiction, and also fluff and humour (because these things can co-exist!)

Summary
Vi has a high stress career as a head chef and a troubled past. She's been working through her traumatic past with the experienced Dr. Heimerdinger and things are finally looking up when he announces his retirement. While this is a major blow to Vi's progress, Dr. Heimerdinger has the utmost faith his successor, the young Dr. Kiramman, will be able to take up the mantle and provide the support Vi needs.
Outside of professional therapy, Vi relieves stress in other ways...
To provide the physical relief Vi craves, she frequents Babette's Boudoir - a highly respected establishment that caters to clientele of special tastes. When Vi's regular partner is no longer available, Babette offers to match her with a new Dom looking for a submissive. While Vi is apprehensive to meet the mysterious Dom's requirements for privacy, she finds the experience to be oddly therapeutic and begins to crave more.

The Dirt and the Road by perniciousgranma

Summary
On the road, VI can’t stop looking at Caitlyn. Her thoughts are a roaring mix of affection, guilt, curiosity, hunger. When was the last time she felt like this? Has she ever?
What is confounding Vi the most is that Caitlyn still hasn’t asked for anything, nothing concrete. Nothing, anyway, that could give Vi any guidance on how to proceed.
What does one do, when they desire someone without any other kind of strings attached? Without the need to hide away, be quick not to get caught, be rough to not be seen as weak? Is she simply allowed to take and be taken? What if it breaks her? What if it breaks both of them?***
Caitlyn is out of options- the only chance she has of avenging her mother is by partnering with Vi, the sister of her mother's killer, convicted in her place ten years prior. Together, they set out through the country on a desperate search, with the Chembarons on their tail.
Caitlyn is struggling with her grief and her guilt, Vi has to learn how to live. The road will either save them, or swallow them whole.
