    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.”

    Summary

    As the next batch of heals yet again skips over her in favor of topping off Killaman25, Vi is forcefully reminded of why she used to pass on playing MMOs entirely. Sure, they’re fun every once in a while with her sister, but good god, she can’t stand dealing with randoms who don’t know the heal priority.

    Summary

    A beat thuds from the stereo, so heavy it rattles the coins in the well of the passenger door. The crease deepens in Vi’s cheek until the smile breaks through, and when they’re back on the highway with the wind thundering through the open windows, sun on her skin and her hair cutting across her vision so that Vi comes to her in flashes of white teeth and black glasses, in arms shifting to the sixth gear, her voice full and loose as she sings, Caitlyn stops herself from closing her eyes around the moment because she can already see herself years from now running her thumb over this one like a worn photo from a wallet and she doesn’t want to be there yet, in the future where all of this is behind her — she wants to be here, now and in it, in the possibility that it could go on forever. Like asphalt, like sun.

    Summary

    It wasn’t an earth-shattering kaboom, or an upheaval of her life, or any other dramatic nonsense she’d heard from Jayce and Viktor, from Claggor and Mylo about the searching for and the discovering of love. It wasn’t this moment of lucidity, a thunderstrike of passion and feeling that overcame her senses and pointed her home. If anything, it was understated, quiet, a simple pleasure.

    It was an exhalation.
