    Summary

    “Do you think therapy would help you?”

    “Yes…”, Kara affirmed, a crease simultaneously appearing on her forehead to pre-empt the ‘but’ she was on the precipice of voicing. “But I don’t think that there is anyone suitably equipped to handle a case like mine.”

    “What makes you so sure of that?”

    “Two reasons.” Kara declared, the shadows of her face darkening all of a sudden.

    “And they are?” Percy inquired, pen poised and ready to detail Kara’s expressions and answer.

    “Well, first…” Kara sighed before lifting her chin and staring at Percy defiantly, something strong and unbreakable flashing in the young woman’s eyes for the first time. “I’m in love with Lena Luthor.”

    Summary

    “You’re late tonight, Cupcake,” Vi says.

     

     

    “Ah. Yes. Indeed—well! You understand how Council meetings are. The more tedious and unimportant, the greater their determination to run through the night,” Caitlyn says, stepping behind the counter and reclaiming her bag. “And—shopping! I thought we’d better stock up before we found ourselves utterly bereft of food. I got your favourites, actually. I could make you dinner tonight?”

     

    The offer hangs in the air. Caitlyn’s face is flushed, but Vi doesn’t question her. There’s no fun in trying to pry out whatever Caitlyn’s hiding; she always gives in too easily.

     

    “Uh-huh,” Vi says.

     

    “Right. Right. I’ll just—sorry to disturb you.”

    Summary

    Vi shook her head, too fast. “You don’t know what you saw.”

    “I do. I saw finger marks, Vi. Around your throat.” Caitlyn’s voice rose despite herself, and her eyes were sharp, searching. “Are you really going to pretend I imagined that?”

    Vi looked cornered. Her body tensed, as if every muscle inside her had seized up. Her eyes darted to the pavement, to the trees, to anywhere but Caitlyn.

    “I don’t—” she started, her voice small.

    “Why won’t you let me care about you?” Caitlyn asked, her voice cracking. “Why won’t you let me in? Is this even a friendship if you won’t let me help?”

    Or

    Harvard AU where Caitlyn has a crush on the soccer jock, but Vi keeps pulling away. Caitlyn knows she’s hiding something—she just doesn’t know what.

    Or

    Powder is sick, and Vi is willing to do anything she can to save her. Even if that means losing herself in the process.

    And Caitlyn watches as Vi unravels.

    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 thought her biggest challenge this semester would be staying awake in Health Law and Public Policy. That is, until she’s partnered with Caitlyn Kiramman—a walking poster child for perfection and privilege—for a group project that counts for half their grade. Caitlyn has a schedule color-coded to the minute, while Vi’s greatest academic accomplishment is finding snacks in her bag she forgot about.

    Sparks fly (and not the romantic kind, at first) as their clashing personalities and preconceived notions collide in library study rooms and late-night cram sessions. But somewhere between sarcastic quips, Caitlyn’s meticulously planned outlines, and Vi's chaotic "creative input," they begin to realize they might actually... like each other?

    It’s an upcoming semester full of awkward coffee runs, way-too-early meetings, and a growing realization that sometimes, the most unexpected projects have the best outcomes.
