Vi Lanes is a deputy park ranger at Pike National Forest. Caitlyn Kiramman is a military veteran turned artist.
When Caitlyn's relationship with Denver Police Officer Maddie Nolen sours, Maddie snaps and Caitlyn suddenly finds herself a survivor of domestic violence (lightly mentioned). Caitlyn finds herself in need of an escape. Her mother, Cassandra Kiramman, is the Governor of Colorado, and has connections to the National Parks through her charitable foundation. When the opportunity presents itself for Caitlyn to become the Fire Lookout for Devil's Head Tower, she agrees. When Vi is asked to keep her company, it's only a matter of time before the two women feel a connection spark between them.

Summary
“I would have married you in a heartbeat… you know that, right?” Violet whispered.
“My darling, we can’t,” Caitlyn merely whispered, forehead lightly touching that of her lover. “A woman marrying another woman, could you imagine the headlines?”
Violet’s gaze hardened as her forehead pressed harder against Caitlyn’s “And your answer to that is to marry a man?”
“You know I do not have a choice. Not in this time. Not in my position.”
“I know,” Violet placed a soft kiss on her lover’s lips before pulling away.
Caitlyn was breathtaking. Dressed in virgin white, her dark hair pinned up. A blushing bride in every sense of the word. Only she wasn't Violet's bride. And she never would be.

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."
