    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.

    Summary

    What if Arcane was a lesbian meet cute instead of a heartbreaking start of darkness?

    Well, it'd probably be trite nonsense compared to the goddam masterpiece we got, but at least they'd be happy.

    Summary

    "And who's taking care of you?"

    That's an easy one, Vi knows it by heart.

    No one.

    "Me."

    He snorts, "Must be hell of a job."

    Summary

    “It’s just—”

    She looks back on the handful of times she's reunited with Sevika. Paperwork and budgets and discussing and, and, and.

    Talking. That's all she's been doing. No real action about it. Piles of paperwork that lead her nowhere.

    “Just what?” Vi coaxes.

    “It's useless. Everything I do. No matter what I try, I keep running in circles. I feel like a fool.”

     

    After the war, Caitlyn comes to terms with the slowness of time, all while exploring the domesticity of living with Vi.

    Summary

    Her fingers on Caitlyn’s arm; the butt of Caitlyn’s gun in her gut. Countless boots in her face and chest and stomach. What is fifteen, if not twenty-three?

    She idly wonders, digging her fingers deeper into her shirt, seeking the blood, if this is how Powder felt when Vi left her. She wonders whether it felt this nauseatingly consuming to wait for her to come back.

    or, Vi in the aftermath.
