Summary
Caitlyn was grasping at straws. She had to come up with a plan, and quickly. She filtered through all her limited options. One idea popped into her head. An extremely stupid one. One she knew she would regret but before she could stop herself it was already out of her mouth.
“I’m already engaged.”
“You’re engaged?”
“Yes.”
“To be married?”
“Yes.”
“To whom?”
Oh shit. Thoughts whirled through her brain. A flash of grey eyes clouded her vision.
“To Vi”

Summary
“Now, I have to tell you… she wore out one painter before you.”
Vi’s brow furrows. “How so?” She can’t keep the question at bay.
Cassandra looks down at her tea. “To put it simply, she refused to pose. He never saw her face.”
Vi sits up a little straighter, concern tightening her muscles.
“Why won’t she be painted, exactly?” The image of the smudged face barrages her, filling her vision with blue and gold.
“She refuses this marriage,” she replies sternly, lines etched along her brow. Cassandra glances up to her own wedding portrait before meeting Vi’s gaze again. “You must paint her without her knowing.”

Summary
“Shit, listen, I’m sorry!” Vi half-yelled, trying to compete with the rain. “I know you don’t want to see me, but I need to talk to you!”
Caitlyn’s heart clenched.Anxiety flickered in her chest, mingling with the hurt she hadn’t quite shaken.
She leaned out the window, her hair dampening in the rain. “Vi, just come inside! You’ll get sick!” she shouted, her voice carrying a note of urgency.
Vi shook her head stubbornly, rain running in rivulets down her face. “No! I need to say what I have to say, and then I’ll leave. You won’t have to see me again. You can just forget all about me.”
Her tone was strong, but Caitlyn could hear the crack beneath it, the vulnerability that made her breath hitch.
“What are you talking about?” Caitlyn shouted back, bewildered. None of this made sense, and the storm wasn’t helping her focus.OR
Caitlyn and Vi navigating the blurred lines of their developing friendship in an alternate universe where the explosion never happened.

Summary
“Have any of you seen combat?” she dares to ask. It was the first question she wanted to ask the moment she entered the room, the answer already clear in the nuisance of their house banners flooding the throne room, decorative feathers and jewels hanging from all of them. Peacocks among wolves.
They all stare at her with red stained cheeks. “Real combat,” Caitlyn clarifies when one of the knights begins to step forward, his stature of someone who’s barely seen the sun outside of a brothel. He steps back only for the nameless knight to take a step forward.
Caitlyn doesn’t recall closing the distance, something in the knight acting as a siren call to the princess. “You,” Caitlyn states simply. It isn’t a judgement or an accusation. But remembrance. The way her gloved fingers felt when taking the favor from Caitlyn’s hands, her helmet still hiding the whole of her face.
“The one and only, Princess” she quips quietly. She doesn’t bow her head as the others had when she met them at eye level. No. This knight raises her chin. Not in defiance but in something Caitlyn can only describe as a challenging reverence.
I dare you to choose me as I am.

Summary
Those eyes—Grayson has stood by enough pillars in enough ballrooms to hear what people say about those startling blue eyes, how beautiful, how gorgeous, how enchanting they are. But none of them ever talk about how they sparkle like the glow of the evening ocean, how they soften into pools of Freljordian glacial melt, how they laugh like the summer sky.
She brushes her thumb against the soft of Cassie’s cheek.
“Good morning,” she says, and those eyes open slow with sleep.
No one ever talks about how they light up like the first rays of the sun.

Summary
“Violet,” Caitlyn calls, trying again for her attention.
Violet grunts and lazily turns her head to face Cait, her cheek resting against the pillow. She opens her mouth to speak but seems to notice the stuffed rabbit for the first time and her teeth clack as her mouth snaps shut. She shifts to nuzzle against it. Then softly, “Vi,” she says.
“What?”
“My name. It’s Vi,” she clarifies and Caitlyn decides she quite likes it. It suits her.
“Okay. I’m going to call the nurses here now,” Caitlyn says and reaches for her own call button. “Vi?”
“Hmm?”
“I’m glad you’re okay.”

Summary
“A-are you real?” Vi croaks. Too many nights she’s asked this question. Too many nights she’s gotten the same answer. Stoney silence and hints of lavender.
This Caitlyn raises an unimpressed brow. “Of course I’m real,” she says finally.
.....
“You miss me, Cupcake?” she lets her eyes rake over long legs and the blue uniform. “Because I miss you” Vi slurs. Her face itches. The black smudges feel so ingrained into her skin, running deeper than the ink she put there years ago.
Footsteps, tentative but firm, fill Vi’s ears. The thin mattress dips. Fingers grip her chin, the soft leather gloves force her eyes to blink open. She sighs through her nose.
“Or are you here t-to arrest me?” Vi hiccups, trying to challenge her. To goad. To take some semblance of control back.
“This isn’t you, Vi,” Caitlyn whispers. Vi takes her in. This version of her. Angled cheekbones and soft hands. Her face more disappointed than in the club. But there’s something else there. Something almost… real. The booze must've been stronger tonight.
OR:
Vi copes with her choices and with the fallout of everything she's ever known.

Summary
The moment Caitlyn sees the Royal Stablemaster’s daughter vault off a horse, she knows she’s doomed. She watches as the dust cloud clears, stunned at the way that pink hair bobs in laughter, at the way the other girl runs off, away from her father.
“Vi, when I catch you!”
Grey eyes catch the sunlight just right. Caitlyn stares unabashedly at a broad grin, at arms akimbo, at a tongue stuck out.
“Catch me if you can!”
Doomed, with a capital D.
Prince Caitlyn falls for the Stablemaster's daughter.

Summary
“If that could be fixed in a week you’d be a saint,” he says.
“And we both know I’m not,” she allows herself a little quip.
Ekko looks at her. Really looks at her.
Caitlyn doesn’t have anything to say about that, is tugging her hood back up when the door bursts open.
“Since when did you have the door closed, Little Man—”
Her hands almost freeze on the hood but she thinks she makes it in time when the last, last, last person she thought she’d ever see again comes barreling through the unlocked door.
What if Vi left with Jinx? What if she comes back?

Summary
Different families have different mixtures, he tells her. The Kirammans have always liked to add a variety of mushrooms for fragrance and texture so Caitlyn mixes in the finely chopped pieces as he hands them to her to mix into the filling.
It’s oily on her fingers, the minced pork just the right ratio of fat to lean, the mushrooms and diced cabbage having been squeezed of water. Caitlyn adds the salt, pepper, drizzling on the sesame oil the way they always have.
Then Father reaches for a few water chestnuts and Caitlyn giggles as Mother’s face pinches.
“I don’t see why they must crunch, dear. Don’t we get enough texture from the cabbage?”
Caitlyn makes dumplings with family.

Summary
It was to be Caitlyn’s first real test in years - the first instance in which she’d be alone, and the disease could have its way with her with all the temptation that she could shake a stick at. Caitlyn talked her out of cancelling her jobs over dinner one night in July, with a cute scowl on Vi’s face and a defiant edge to her pushing pasta around on her plate.
“It’s not for that long,” Caitlyn said, “I can hold out a week.”
“It’s fucking stupid, is what it is,” Vi replied, “I can’t believe they’d send you. They know why you needed time off.”
--
Caitlyn goes away for work, and faces her first true test of sobriety.

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.

Where is Love? by thescriptorium

Summary
When it came to Zaun’s nightlife, there were two sides to every cog. There was tricking on one side, and fucking on the other. Mostly for pay, if not for pleasure. The odds could spin and spin, but chances are most late-night encounters were landing on either side.
Anything other than that, well. Those kinds of meetings were left behind velvet curtains for good reason.
Love didn’t belong here, not on these streets. Not in this life. There were a lot of rules Vander drilled into their brains before he passed, but it seemed this was the only one he missed.
The only one that mattered.
OR
Vi bounces nightly at Babette’s elusive club, where a mysterious dancer named Cupcake takes to the stage. Another love story in the making.

Summary
Caitlyn hated many things: the busy city, her ignorant parents, and complicated politics. Her love for art and nature guided her to the outskirts of urban life, where she painted and protected her peace.
Violet, on the other hand, was tied to the city through her dangerous work. Although Caitlyn desperately wanted to stay away and overlook the clues that revealed her dangerous lifestyle, giving in to Vi was inevitable.
On the night of the Supermoon, the last thing Caitlyn expected was for Vi to break into her home. And she definitely did not expect her self control to disappear (so quickly, at least).

Summary
“About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”
“Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”
“Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”
“Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”
*
Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.
