Summary
“I just don’t see why—” Caitlyn’s words are cut off by a sharp breath, by her jaw tightening shut. Her eye flashes. Her shoulders are tense and even those hands which never otherwise find their way into fists are clenched. She is still, entirely still, still there, Vi knows, but retreated now behind the blue glass of her eye, obscured by the fire curtain that has come slamming silently down.
Vi doesn’t get it.
“He’s your dad, Cait. He’s the only one you have left.”
The embers light.
“Yes,” she snaps, smoke wisping from her lips. “It is because he is my father, precisely because he is the only one I have left.”
They have their first argument since the war.

That voice wobbles. Fear drips into those gorgeous eyes and for a moment she wonders if she could kiss it away. That thought disappears as quickly as the soft chill of the morning breeze sneaking in from under the hems of the curtains.
This person has said that name twice now, both times directed at her.
Is that her name?
An incident takes Caitlyn's memory. Now the two of them have to relearn everything they once thought they knew.

Summary
“Caitlyn,” she says, with the tiniest ounce of surprise when she looks up and takes in the outfit Caitlyn is wearing.
“Mother,” says her child, dressed in that one orca onesie she’d had made, holding the book of sea monsters that Tobias had gotten her for her last birthday. Caitlyn straightens a little and it is both a source of pride and a little sting to the soft parts of her chest that her child both knows how to be proper and chooses to use it now, with her, in the early hours of the night. “Might you be in the mood for some reading?”
