    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” Shane chokes, closing his eyes. Rozanov draws his hand, pulling Shane’s with it, to his face and wipes his cheeks.

    “There is nothing to be sorry for, любовь моя, it is okay,” Rozanov murmurs, tugging at Shane’s hair again. Shane exhales, letting him clean his cheeks. “You got overwhelmed, yes? It happens.”

    “I can’t be fucking normal,” Shane says quietly, whining, head falling back, pressing into Rozanov’s hand.

    “No, if you were fucking normal, you would not be my Shane.”

    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

    “So that’s why I bring Violet Wickett up,” says the first, feminine voice, “because there’s two things that have defined Vi her entire career. How hard she plays as a forward, especially on defence, and her rivalry with Caitlyn Kiramman.”

    “See, if I’m Mel Medarda, I’m not even giving Wickett another glance. I’m taking Kiramman with my first pick and grabbing from the end of the Ironfist’s bench.”

    “That’s what makes this so delicious, though, Jack. Mel Medarda can get both of them.”

    --

    Hockey AU. The RHL is expanding, and both Caitlyn and Vi are up for grabs, their rivalry being a well documented storyline in the RHL for twelve years. What happens, however, when they're both taken to a new team? What happens when a relationship forged in belief of only seeing each other once in a while on road games is faced with playing beside each other every day?

    Summary

    In the quiet Appalachian town of Zaun, the holiday season promises eager tourists and good business as folks travel far to enjoy the seasonal bounty. For Vi, the new owner of the Last Drop, it's a chance for her to make some extra cash so her kid sister can go to college. If life was kind, she should be spending the winter mourning the loss of her father, visiting her brothers, and helping Powder with college applications. Unfortunately Vi is visited by ghosts of her past, leaving her holiday plans in limbo as she tries to dodge a drug lord.

    or

    Caitlyn just wants to do her job well. Years of having to prove herself as a skilled detective have made her exceptionally dedicated to her career and little else. When her boss forces her to take mandatory medical leave after a drug bust gone wrong, she decides it's time to get some fresh mountain air and sample Zaun's tourist attractions. If a little R&R happens to bring her closer to the next lead on her case, well-- she is supposed to be enjoying herself, after all.
