Summary
“Cait,” Vi says sternly. Caitlyn sports an endlessly satisfied look on her face, like a cat lazed out in a spot of sunlight. It makes Vi’s knees feel like jelly.
“You’re a dick,” Vi says.
“Sorry,” Caitlyn says. “I’ve been wanting to do that for hours.” She does actually look apologetic, surprisingly, with her eyes wide and softened around the edges, and all it does is make Vi hornier.
“You’re blushing,” Caitlyn says.
“I’m not,” Vi says, a little too quick. “I’m trying to make sure your fractured ribs don’t puncture a lung. Since I’m the only one who currently seems worried about that happening.” She scowls. Or, she tries to, at least. She has no idea if it actually comes off that way.
Caitlyn only sways a little on her feet, dragging a lithe finger right across Vi’s cheekbone. “You are,” she murmurs. Her hand moves down, teasing at the collar of Vi’s shirt. “All the way down to here. It matches your hair.”

Summary
“...Could I have my ball back?”
“This is yours?” she pokes it with the toe of her fucked up shoe. Good material, nice and rigid. The bin at the rec centre has a few, but they’re these lumpy things the kids like to smack each other with rather than kick.
The girl looks around. It should read as mocking- it comes across completely genuine. “There’s no one else here.”
“What’s in it for me?”
“I’ll… leave you alone?”
Vi smothers the urge to grin.
She groans instead, gets to her feet, and- outside part, right?- kicks the ball with the broad side of her foot. It gets the job done. Vi blinks, and the girl has the ball snug under her cleat. Huh.
“That was a good kick,” she says with the tiniest quirk of her lip, like she couldn’t believe it.
Vi is sixteen, and furious about it. Her sister's a target for Zaun High's bottom of the barrel, her city is given less grace than a dying roadside animal, and beyond being angry about these two specific things- she has nothing going on.
But one day, a chance escape to Zaun park's dingy soccer field, somehow, changes everything- and it all starts with a girl who really shouldn't be here.

Summary
"I mean this is ridiculous! If this is how you do business, then I think you ought-”
“I’m sorry, I think you’ve got the wrong number,” the woman cut her off.
Vi felt her face go so hot she was sure that it was visibly steaming in the winter air. Of course it was a fucking wrong number - just the cherry on top of an already shit morning. She struggled to conjure up some sort of apology. Instead, what came out was, “Oh. Well, thank god, because I was feeling really bad about yelling at someone who sounds so sexy.”
As soon as the words left her mouth she wished she had a spare hand to cram them back inside. She was considering just abruptly hanging up when a breathy chuckle filtered across the line.
“Awfully bold for someone who’s ranting about cement to a stranger at eight o’clock in the morning.”
OR: Vi is a construction worker with no time for relationships... until she accidentally dials a wrong number and the stranger on the other line upends her entire life.- Language:

Summary
Caitlyn's not sure exactly what she was expecting when she first walked into that classroom, but what she had found had thrown her for such a loop it almost made her dizzy. It’s almost ridiculous how attractive Vi is. Simply, mathematically, it does not add up. There has to be a catch somewhere, Caitlyn reasons.
The catch, apparently, is that Vi is her coworker, teetering on the edge of being too old for her, and their families absolutely despise each other.
Or: Caitlyn and Vi were both injured in the same freak accident 13 years ago and are supposed to hate each other. Somehow they both end up teaching at the same university. Chaos ensues.

Summary
“It still doesn’t feel real,” Caitlyn said as they walked. “That the worst is over, that we’re standing on the other side.”
A flock of starlings swept free of the cliffs, and they paused to watch them go. Caitlyn adjusted the shawl again, the same wind that kicked the surface of the water into peaks blowing the hair back from her face. Vi’s breath lodged against her ribs, like a hand over her heart.
“Maybe there is no other side,” Vi said. “Maybe it’s all one thing.”
*
Caitlyn's got a house in the country, and Vi's got time.
