Summary
Dr. Caitlyn Kiramman possesses all she once longed for—titles etched in brass, findings sealed in journals, her name a current in every quiet murmur of reverence. Her life is spotless. Measured. Acclaimed.
And grey.
A soft, unyielding grey, settled not just on her skyline but somewhere deeper—in the hollow beneath her ribs, in the stillness of her breath.
She tells herself this is contentment. That certain things—certain colors—are best folded into the past.
But color is relentless. It returns in flickers—unexpected, uninvited, undeniable. And when a pair of grey eyes finds her again, Caitlyn begins to remember everything she tried to forget.
Even the ones she left in that sun-stained garden in Italy.
OR
Berlin, Winter, 1988. Five years since the final chapter of Hint of Blue where Caitlyn left Vi to chase a future built in sience and silence. She waited. Vi never came. So she moved on—
or tried to. Life without the poet turned colorless. Until it didn't.Series

Years later, Clarke is pregnant from a one night-stand and the magical being in charge of her case, Lexa, comes to oversee the pregnancy. To Lexa’s dismay, she finds that hell hath no fury like a pregnant Clarke scorned…
Inspired by the many "witch makes a deal for your firstborn but ends up falling in love with you" prompts.
