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.

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.

"And who's taking care of you?"
That's an easy one, Vi knows it by heart.
No one.

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.

Summary
It took Caitlyn a brief second to register the silvery eyes fluttering open, the head of pink hair moving across the pillow.
“Vi!” Caitlyn surged up from her seat, bracing her hand on the mattress so Vi could see her.
“I'm right here, Vi.” Unconsciously, Caitlyn felt her hand moving across the sheets to interlace her fingers in Vi's.
For the first time, Vi's gaze locked onto her, and instead of the joy or recognition Caitlyn was hoping to see, she was met with a blank stare.
When Vi opened her mouth, Caitlyn's heart stopped as the cold realisation sank into her bones.
Vi's words hit her like a punch to the gut.
“Who the fuck are you?”
OR
Shortly after they start dating, an accident takes Vi’s memory and leaves Caitlyn with a painful, one-sided love that she’s desperate to restore.

Summary
Updated Summary, 1 August, 2025
This fic has expanded far beyond its original scope, to the point that the stranded part isn't going to actually happen until closer to Chapter 30, so here's my attempt at a more accurate summary:
This is a story of Caitlyn and Vi on an Era of Exploration expedition ship to recover a mysterious plant from a remote island. Caitlyn is a talented but overlooked botanist, socially isolated from her peers. Vi is the ship's first mate with a bit of a chip on her shoulder, and an uncanny ability to be friendly without ever letting anyone close enough to be an actual friend.
This is a slo(ooo)w burn love story that embraces all the in-between, boring parts of life where relationships grow, so they're going to spend several chapters each being enemies, then friends, then finally learning to be lovers. They'll spend time together, they'll get to know one another, and their relationship will grow (in a way that I hope feels as authentic to you as it does to me) before their bond is ultimately tested.
There is an MCD, but it's not Caitlyn or Vi.
There is smut in this fic, but this is not a smut fic.
Also, I don't overuse the nickname "Cupcake."

“You can’t just show me into your life and expect me to forget you, not if the sun expires, not if a dust cloud forms a star a thousand times over. I could comb through the galaxy a number of times and science will tell you that, but there is no way I can find what we have, feel just a fraction of it somewhere else—science can’t tell me that. It’s fate. It’s fate that led me here.”

Something to Get Used To by urdnot_wrekt
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)
18 Dec 2024

Summary
Caitlyn allowed herself to indulge in the sight of her. Taking in every detail, no matter how small. The messy, uneven growth of the short side of her hair. The slowly healing cut slicing its way through the tattoo on her cheek. Dark circles under wide eyes, affectionate and present, yet with a lingering sadness that made Caitlyn’s heart ache for her.
“How are you doing?” Caitlyn asked quietly.
The answer to her question was a slow, measured exhale. Silence, presumably while Vi debated how truthful of an answer to give. Her brows knit together in a frown while her eyes never left Caitlyn’s.
“You can be honest with me,” Caitlyn added, reaching across the narrow space between them to rest her hand on Vi’s forearm, stroking her thumb lightly across her skin. “If you’d like to.”***
When the smoke clears, Caitlyn and Vi do their best to navigate the way their lives have changed in the aftermath. The good and the bad. The weight of old wounds and the fresh sting of new ones. But Caitlyn makes a discovery that gives them an unexpected hope. And they find that, together, this new life might just be something they can both get used to.

Summary
Her body knows it before her mind can begin to catch up. Her heart beats in tandem with the person her muscles seek out in her delirium. The phantom touch of her hand, gripping and caressing. Lips that were made for Vi’s. Skin Vi had spent months touching in her drunken fantasies. Blue eyes that unearthed the bloody organ in her chest. Bile rises in her throat at the thought of–
We’re meant to lose this fight.
Caitlyn.
-
Vi doesn’t notice a slain Ambessa. She doesn’t notice the way red flags are still raised like a shield, all adorning the Medarda crest. She only just notices that red-headed officer that clung to Caitlyn like a parasite strewn in a lifeless heap. But she can’t focus on that now. On the implications of it. Because Caitlyn still lies there. Unmoving.

Summary
This is a post episode 8 look at Cait and Vi and how they navigate their relationships while also healing from all the trauma in their lives. It also acts as a study into the Kiramman Family dynamics, how Cait moves past her time with Ambessa, and how Vi handled life during her Pit Fighter phase.
Flashbacks with Maddie, Ambessa and others serve as missing scenes to give a look into the thought process and reasoning behind much of what we saw in the show.
This is part 1 of a show continuation i was asked to write. It's pre-written and I will be post approx. 3 chapters per day most days :)FYI the full title used to be Lovers, Hunters: The Clouds are Hanging Low.
NOTE: Not all flashbacks are in order, but you should be able to figure the timeline out.

Summary
“I always loved summer,” Caitlyn tells the young woman across from her, “because, in the summer, my parents and I made the trek out to our summer house in Zaun.”
Caitlyn smiles as memories washed over her like the gentle waves on the lake - sandy feet, the county fair, ice cream smeared on her nose, the warmth of the sunburn that came from days spent lying on the dock.
She looks out the window, watching the midday sun sparkle off a lake that was nearly untouched by the years and the memories.
“Miss?”
“Hmm?” Caitlyn says, turning toward the source of the gentle prompt. “Oh, I’m terribly sorry. I’m afraid I became lost in thought.”
The young woman nods kindly, and Caitlyn’s eyes sparkle as she continues, the expression seeming to smooth the lines on her face, fade the white from her hair. “I especially loved the summer after I turned seventeen. That was a special summer.”
OR
Caitlyn and Vi fell in love as teenagers, and then were separated for 10 years. Will the spark still be there when they're reunited?

Summary
Caitlyn is an attorney who lives and works in London with her brother Jayce. Her bakes all have to be approved by him, although he isn't a very harsh critic. Most of her bakes are inspired by memories she has of baking with her dad, Tobias.
Hailing from Kent by way of the American state of New Jersey, Vi lives with her younger sister Powder where she manages to strike a balance between her work as a self-defense instructor and her love for baking.
Vi applied for Bake Off because Powder dared her to, and not because she thinks she has a shot at winning. Caitlyn applied hoping to find new inspiration, and maybe to prove to herself that she can carry on her dad's baking traditions.
With 10 weeks in a tent in Berkshire, they both might have bitten off a bit more than they can chew.

Summary
caitlyn kiramman has rules. don’t miss a treatment. don’t forget your meds. don’t let anyone in. it’s easier that way—safer. living with cystic fibrosis means caitlyn is used to being careful, used to being the girl behind the glass. she’s not looking for connection. she’s not looking for anyone.
then ten-year-old powder literally crashes into her.
powder is chaos in human form—loud, smart-mouthed, and newly admitted to the hospital for leukemia. she’s also the little sister of vi: an overworked, sleep-deprived eighteen-year-old who’s practically raising her siblings on her own while juggling two jobs and drowning in hospital bills.
vi is everything caitlyn’s not—messy, impulsive, and heartbreakingly real. she shouldn't care. she shouldn’t want more.
but soon, caitlyn finds herself looking forward to lunches with powder, hallway run-ins with vi, and late-night thoughts she can’t quite shake. and vi? she never thought she’d meet someone who looked at her like she wasn’t just barely holding it all together.
in a place where life is fragile and nothing is guaranteed, falling for someone feels like the biggest risk of all.
but maybe some rules are meant to be broken.
