Summary
Caitlyn allowed herself to indulge in the sight of her. Taking in every detail, no matter how small. The messy, uneven growth of the short side of her hair. The slowly healing cut slicing its way through the tattoo on her cheek. Dark circles under wide eyes, affectionate and present, yet with a lingering sadness that made Caitlyn’s heart ache for her.
“How are you doing?” Caitlyn asked quietly.
The answer to her question was a slow, measured exhale. Silence, presumably while Vi debated how truthful of an answer to give. Her brows knit together in a frown while her eyes never left Caitlyn’s.
“You can be honest with me,” Caitlyn added, reaching across the narrow space between them to rest her hand on Vi’s forearm, stroking her thumb lightly across her skin. “If you’d like to.”***
When the smoke clears, Caitlyn and Vi do their best to navigate the way their lives have changed in the aftermath. The good and the bad. The weight of old wounds and the fresh sting of new ones. But Caitlyn makes a discovery that gives them an unexpected hope. And they find that, together, this new life might just be something they can both get used to.

Summary
Her body knows it before her mind can begin to catch up. Her heart beats in tandem with the person her muscles seek out in her delirium. The phantom touch of her hand, gripping and caressing. Lips that were made for Vi’s. Skin Vi had spent months touching in her drunken fantasies. Blue eyes that unearthed the bloody organ in her chest. Bile rises in her throat at the thought of–
We’re meant to lose this fight.
Caitlyn.

Vi doesn’t notice a slain Ambessa. She doesn’t notice the way red flags are still raised like a shield, all adorning the Medarda crest. She only just notices that red-headed officer that clung to Caitlyn like a parasite strewn in a lifeless heap. But she can’t focus on that now. On the implications of it. Because Caitlyn still lies there. Unmoving.Series

Summary
"This is unacceptable," Caitlyn's voice cut through the air.
"Yeah?" Vi leaned back in her chair, a smirk stretching across her face - one she knew was absolutely insufferable. "I’m a big fan of doing the unacceptable every now and then. Keeps life spicy, y'know?"
The piercing blue eyes staring at her narrowed, and Vi felt her grin widen. Oh, this is gonna be fun. Uptight. Spoiled. And, to Vi’s absolute dismay, absurdly hot. The challenge was written all over Caitlyn Kiramman’s face.
"Is that how you ended up in prison?"
Vi blinked. She hadn't expected that.
But she recovered quickly, casually plucking a cupcake from the plate in front of her. "Nah, that was just my sunny personality that got me there," she said and took a slow bite.
--
Remember that one guy whose mugshot went viral, and he ended up becoming a model after getting out of prison? Now imagine that, but it’s Vi. And Caitlyn is the bestselling author of a wildly popular fantasy novel that’s getting a TV adaptation. Turns out, Vi looks exactly like the protagonist she created.
Cue two useless lesbians, Vi being a menace, Caitlyn being very into that, and plenty of shenanigans.

Summary
Spoilers for the end of Act 1!
--
Lune and Sciel had set up camp. She was surprised Lune hadn’t objected to letting Esquie comfort Maelle - trusting a relative stranger, even one of legend, with something so precious was unlike her - but every time Maelle had looked at either of them she’d tried to apologise and started crying again, so when the living embodiment of a hug had lumbered over to her they didn’t stop him.
Sciel had watched until Maelle tired herself out anyway. That was one of her girls settled down. The other promised to be a greater challenge.
--
A rewrite of the campfire scene at the start of Act 2. Because Lune and Sciel should've kissed about it. Now with a chapter 2 because they also should've fucked about it.

Summary
‘What, you don’t want to introduce me to—’
‘Shhh!’ Cait turns back to Vi, aghast, ‘Be quiet!’
Vi’s not entirely sure what emboldens her at that point. Maybe it’s the ridiculousness of the situation: in a brothel, a fancy Piltovan hides from her fancy colleagues in a decidedly unfancy storage cupboard.
Or maybe it’s the way that Cait’s fingers are digging into her hipbones, desperate. She tilts her chin up petulantly.
‘Make me.’
--OR--
Vi thinks she's in control, and quickly finds out how wrong she is.
[A missing scene in episode 5, after Vi sees Cait looking cosy with another woman.]
