    Summary

    Dr. Kiramman steers her through the chaos and plants her in a chair. Does something to her arm that hurts like fuck, then drapes her in bags of ice and wraps her in a sling. Blinds her with a pen light—“Called it,” she mumbles when he confirms she’s concussed—and presses two pills and a warm mug into her hand. It smells herbaceous. Familiar.

    “I brought the good stuff from home,” Dr. Kiramman confesses, and it takes her a moment to understand he means tea. “Extra honey for you. I know you haven’t acquired the taste.”

    He’s right in that she only actually drank it once, the first time it was offered—the afternoon they spoke to the Council, several lifetimes ago. But she tasted it just this morning in Caitlyn’s mouth, grassy and sweet. So she pops the pills and takes a sip. Tries not to think about whether that terrified kiss over breakfast was their last. “I want to see her.”

     

    After the war, Vi and Cait recover, and rebuild.

    Summary

    But then Cait pulled back.

    Vi blinked, dazed. “What the fuck—”

    “No,” Caitlyn said softly, a single finger against Vi’s lips. “You’re not allowed to come until you’re sitting in that chair.”

    Summary

    “I loved the version of you before the war,” Vi said. “But not because you were unbreakable. Not because you had your shit together. You don’t have to earn shit or match expectations that were put on you since before you were born. I’m not saying you should give up your ambitions or your drive. I will take care of you through all of it, always, you know that. But please, Caitlyn, just try letting yourself be sometimes,” She wrapped her hands around Cait’s neck, putting her forehead against hers, whispering, ”Just be.”

    Caitlyn breathed out, leaning into Vi’s touch.

    Then chuckled.

    “So we’re on a full name basis now,” she smiled devilishly, “I thought my name was Cupcake. Romance is dead,”

    ___

    After the war, Caitlyn and Vi are learning what normalcy means—between flashbacks, burnt stew, quiet kisses, panic attacks, and inappropriate jokes at wildly inappropriate times.

    This is a story about healing in inches, about the softness that survives, and about love that stays—steady, grounding, a little rough around the edges.

    On a red-eye from JFK to Heathrow, Vi can't help but notice the woman sitting in seat 1E. A quiet exchange mid-flight leads to a ride into London and an invitation Vi can't seem to refuse. By the time they reach Caitlyn’s flat, the tension that began at cruising altitude finally breaks.

    Summary

    “You’re staring.”

    “Am I?” Vi responded absently, glancing up only long enough to see that Caitlyn’s eye was still locked onto her book, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth as she idly turned a page.

    There was a challenge in that smirk–a challenge that Vi was more than willing to take on.
