Summary
After ten years in Stillwater for a crime she didn't commit, Vi breaks herself out and goes home. Her homecoming doesn't go like she thought it would.
Two years later, she's out of control and out on the streets. She's now a champion pitfighter, a raging alcoholic, and completely on her own. Despite her family's best (and desperate) efforts to help, Vi's on a one-way track to ending up either dead or back in prison.
At the same time, Caitlyn arrives in the undercity to collect data and information for her thesis. She starts her research from a local bar called The Last Drop, which puts her right into Vi's path. Vi might have been out of her family's home for years, but she's still not going to let a topsider put them in danger.
Canon divergence (everyone lives!), enemies to lovers (barely, the lovers aspect happens fast), angst, trauma, addiction, and also fluff and humour (because these things can co-exist!)

Summary
“Caitlyn.”
“Oh,” Jinx says knowingly, glancing Vi’s way out of the corner of her eye. “That’s the, uh, the cop girl, right? Maddie’s ex?”
A chorus of mutters and nods is the response.
“I’m being warned about her,” Vi tells her sister and Jinx blows her bangs out of her face.
“Good,” she says, almost snappishly. “Yeah, don’t date cop girl. You should date someone cool.”
“I’m not going to date anyone, not for a while. I need to get back on my feet first,” says Vi, drumming her fingers against the condensation of the glass. Thinking of Cupcake in her contacts, and that teasing smile.
Everything in Vi’s life right now is starting over. She’s spending the holidays on her sister’s pull-out futon, trying to make sense of the avalanche of changes, salvage what’s left of her family and figure out what she’s going to do next. The last thing she expects to do is include the beautiful woman she runs into on her first day in town, or this Caitlyn that everyone’s warning her to stay away from.

Summary
Caitlyn, a dedicated software engineer working remotely for Hextech Inc. is consumed by work and little else, so when she is required to travel on business to the corporate office located in Denver, she hopes the greatly-needed socialization will revitalize her. What she doesn't expect is a rapidly growing crush on coworker, Vi, to take root, along with the complexities of making friends while navigating her social status in the company. What ensues is charged bickering and a hotel room reservation mix-up, which certainly can't lead to anything more. Certainly.

Summary
Anyone would have told Caitlyn to stop this exchange right here, that it was a breach of decorum to have this bold and crass American address her in such a way. And yet, Caitlyn found herself suppressing a smile, drawn into this strange late-night conversation as if it were perfectly normal, as if she regularly had tea with women who carried themselves without a care in the world.
The realisation struck suddenly, accompanied by a chill of social vertigo. To Vi, it seemed that Caitlyn was just… a person. An everyday person. The novelty of it was intoxicating and terrifying in equal measure.
OR
While attending Cambridge to carry on her family legacy, Her Highness Princess Caitlyn finds herself irresistibly drawn to Vi, a charming and unassuming American student who stirs longing and awakens desires that threaten to upend the young royal’s carefully scripted life.

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.
