    Summary

    ALERT TO SUBSCRIBERS: THIS FIC IS BEING RELISTED FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THE STRIKE FOR PALESTINE. ALL CONTENT REMAINS THE SAME.

    "'Oil and water'...and what? She's the oil?" Ekko laughed. "Bullshit. She's salt. Stir her up and she'll melt right into you."

    [Immediately following the end of Arcane Ep 9. As the cities descend into war, Caitlyn and Vi seek refuge, grappling with the aftermath.]

    Chapters 6+ are intended for mature audiences. Reader discretion is advised.

    Note: Mentions of SA are non-explicit and are not ongoing themes. Each mention is called out at chapter level with in-line markers ([#] to stop reading, [##] to resume) so readers can avoid this content if they so choose. Canon characters are plot-armored against SA despite my treating SA as extant in the universe.

    Readers should be prepared to encounter all other Mature Content w/out additional warning.

    Summary

    It’s so obvious it hurts, understanding how readily Vi slides into being a caretaker, into holding her together, taking on Caitlyn’s pain and making it her own. Caitlyn should stop her, wants to stop her, from taking the pain, taking the responsibility, taking it all onto her strong shoulders and letting it simmer and boil and reduce down into more guilt weighing her down.

    Summary

    Catra remembers her own sleepless nights and violent rages—the scratches she gouged in Adora’s bedding, the shriek of claws against metal as she defaced the silly sketch they had drawn together. She remembers lying awake for hours each night, unacknowledged tears leaking from her eyes as Adora’s scent slowly faded from her life. She takes a deep breath, filling herself up to banish the memories. Adora loves her. Adora stayed.

    ---

    In the aftermath of Horde Prime's demise, Catra struggles to integrate into Etherian society as she and Adora explore their newfound relationship. Featuring major cuddles, minor angst, therapy, a surprise character development for Catra, and sweetly awkward fumblings toward physical intimacy. This fic also includes a few minor references to @Annacharlier's "Don't Go," which is canon as far as we all know, and to Noelle and Molly's amazing #BLM livestream. <3
