    Summary

    Caitlyn Kiramman was always meant for more—for Piltover, for greatness, for a life where everything had a place, everything made sense. Vi was never supposed to be part of that equation.

    They were young when they first met. They weren't dating, not really. Gravity is the reason we fall, Caitlyn had said to her. But Vi knows now—there are other forces, unseen, inescapable. Light bends under gravity. Even the brightest things carry weight. And Caitlyn had always been light to her.

    Years later, Vi sees Caitlyn’s name on the news. Caitlyn, who has been in control of everything, is in a car crash. Twisted metal, shattered glass, sirens wailing into the night. By the time Vi reaches the hospital, they’re already fighting to keep Caitlyn alive. She watches from the ER doorway as doctors force air into Caitlyn’s lungs, as her heart monitor flatlines, as they shock her back to life.

    Vi doesn’t go inside Caitlyn's room. Maddie does. The fiancée. The woman Caitlyn chose.

    Vi should leave. She should let go. But some things never stop moving, even when they should. Even light, when it’s close enough to the edge, can’t escape.

    Summary

    When she turned 5, she got gifted a lamp.
    "To dream pretty things." Tobias had told her.
    "So that you know you're not alone," had added Cassandra.
    Over time, Caitlyn realized a few things.

    or Caitlyn's childhood lamp and its symbolism.

    Summary

    "Violet," Caitlyn breathes, the name a quiet reverence on her lips. "Have you ever thought about it? Having children, I mean?"

    Vi blinks, stunned.

    She should've seen this coming, really.

    Summary

    “No,” Caitlyn whispers, shoulders slipping. Oh, she’s not strong enough for this. “No, no- you- why you? Why you?”

    She still smells the way she did two years ago— standing at their doorstep, packing her bags, saying we shouldn’t have done this. I shouldn’t have done this.

    “Why me,” Vi repeats. “Isn’t that the fucking question.”

    or: they're exes, they're still in love, and they're pretty sure fate just fucking hates them

    Summary

    It is when she reaches out to brush Caitlyn’s shoulder that her world is turned inside out. One moment her fingertips touch wet skin and the next the hard metal of the muzzle of a handgun is pressed against her temple, and Caitlyn’s eye is wide, so, so wide even as her hands shake.

    Something is wrong. Something is terribly wrong because Caitlyn’s hands never shake on a gun.
