The Dirt and the Road by perniciousgranma

Summary
On the road, VI can’t stop looking at Caitlyn. Her thoughts are a roaring mix of affection, guilt, curiosity, hunger. When was the last time she felt like this? Has she ever?
What is confounding Vi the most is that Caitlyn still hasn’t asked for anything, nothing concrete. Nothing, anyway, that could give Vi any guidance on how to proceed.
What does one do, when they desire someone without any other kind of strings attached? Without the need to hide away, be quick not to get caught, be rough to not be seen as weak? Is she simply allowed to take and be taken? What if it breaks her? What if it breaks both of them?***
Caitlyn is out of options- the only chance she has of avenging her mother is by partnering with Vi, the sister of her mother's killer, convicted in her place ten years prior. Together, they set out through the country on a desperate search, with the Chembarons on their tail.
Caitlyn is struggling with her grief and her guilt, Vi has to learn how to live. The road will either save them, or swallow them whole.
A roadtrip noir, a romcom, a character study. Now illustrated!- Language:

Summary
A frozen, staged body is found on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana. The victim is a local woman—someone Officer Vi Lane once knew intimately.
Chief Grayson calls for help, but no one answers. Another Indigenous woman. Another local matter swept under the federal rug.
Until a second body appears. This one a British national.
Now, Grayson doesn’t have to ask. The FBI doesn’t offer help—they send it. A British liaison. No warning, no questions, no diplomacy. It just happens.
As soon as Vi lays eyes this liaison, deep inside a reptilian part of her brain, one sensation rules them all.
Danger.
And its name is Caitlyn Kiramman.

Summary
The girl said nothing back. She only raised her rifle, aiming the barrel right at Vi. Right in between her eyes. There was a fierce glint in the girl’s eyes as she squinted, ready to shoot, finger teasing the trigger.
Vi blinked, barely registering it with the twisting pain at her side.
Well, fuck.
OR, someone else pulls off the workshop heist, and vi meets a certain spirited piltie girl. this changes everything.

Summary
“Then I’ll do it for you.”
Caitlyn’s breath caught in her throat.
Vi didn’t look away.
“I’ll be your hands,” she lowered her voice just the slightest bit, now almost reverent. “And your eyes under the sea.”
The words slipped between them like an unadorned vow. Yet it somehow sank into Caitlyn’s chest like weightless gravity.
Her whole body went still.
She forgot how to breathe.
For a second, she almost thought she was underwater again, but not drowning. Just suspended and floating. Held.
OR
Caitlyn, a marine biologist, and Vi, a scuba diver, go on a six-month research expedition in Jervis Bay, Australia. And everything becomes sort of a midsummer night's dream.

Summary
Only in Night City can Vi have gone from an orphan on the street, using nothing but her fists to keep her and her sister alive, to having a family who loves her, making good money as a merc, and spending her free time enjoying the end of her twenties - drinking, taking girls home, and living the best life has to offer for someone like her in a city like this.
But the City of Dreams has its own slew of problems - political corruption and gang violence to name just a few. Vi's newest gig touches all of it and has her crossing paths with a mysterious netrunner, Caitlyn, who turns out to be much more than Vi could have ever prepared for.

The Face That Launched a Thousand Ships (And a TV Show) by selmu

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
“Shit.” Vi muttered, closing the drawer with a frustrated grunt. She moved to the next one, hoping maybe she’d misremembered, but none of the others had hidden compartments. Frustrated, she slammed the last one shut harder than necessary. “Gods, where the hell did she put it?”
“Looking for this?” A voice, cold and accented, came from behind. Vi turned her head slightly to find a tall, dark-haired woman, her piercing blue eyes fixed on Vi. In her left hand, she held the elusive navy blue box. In her right, a pistol, aimed directly at Vi.
OR
Vi is part of a heist crew with her siblings, and their latest target is a priceless gem locked away in the Kiramman family vault. The plan is airtight, and absolutely nothing can go wrong… right? That is, until a certain blue-eyed woman with fiery determination decides to stop them.
Think Arcane meets Ocean's 8, but with a whole lot of gay. There’ll be dancing at masquerades, cunning plans, and, of course, love - even if these idiots take their sweet time figuring it out.

Summary
Vi rolled her eyes slightly, shrugging and still refusing to meet her sister’s gaze. “Right. So you find me a date that doesn’t know what I look like, I go out with her looking… less hot, and then if she sticks around that proves she likes me for my great personality.”
With a slightly screwed up expression that meant she was about to argue back, Caitlyn sat back in her seat and crossed her arms again, giving a little shrug.
“Fine. I’ll give it a shot. You set me up with a woman who doesn’t know who I am, and I’ll give it a fair try. See if my horrid personality doesn’t scare her away.”
Believing they keep attracting shallow dates, Vi and Caitlyn separately agree to go ‘undercover’ for their next one, hiding parts of themselves. When they’re unknowingly set up with each other, they both struggle between wanting to being authentic and wanting to stubbornly prove a point, as they’re forced to rely on their personalities to make the relationship work.

Summary
The woman who opens the door is nothing like Kara expected.
She’s not a housewife. She’s young, probably Kara’s age, and alarmingly pretty. She looks loose, and carefree, and stylish. She looks like a catalog model. No…even better. Those women don’t have half the curves that this woman does, they don’t have her subtle smile or her bright green eyes –
Bright green eyes that are staring directly at Kara.
“Can I help you?”
OR
Kara is a sexless housewife in 1969, feeling trapped and not knowing why. But when mysterious, kind-hearted Lena Luthor moves in next door, hosting swinger’s parties but ignoring the men, Kara’s whole world shifts on its axis.

“Unbelievable,” the woman muttered, raising one of her hands to glare at the slush stuck to her gloves. She shook it off in disgust, directing the glare back up to Vi. “Is it just a habit of yours to barrel through people with no regard?”

Summary
Vi doesn’t mind the waiting. She knows all about waiting. The thing about automatons is that they’ll wait for as long as you want them to – hours, months, years. They won’t get tired, they won’t pass out because their knees lock, they won’t shut down or rust. Not until you tell them to, at least. Not unless they can’t help it.
She doesn’t mind the exams either, even if the engineers are more rough with her than necessary when conducting them. It’s uncomfortable; the pressure inside her ears always makes her feel like something is going to rupture right before it eases, but even that is less invasive than the shit she remembers. When she remembers it, anyway. If she remembers it.
--
In the wake of a hundred year war, an automaton named Vi wakes from deep-state hibernation to find herself on an unfamiliar spacecraft. Humanity's last hope lies within the workings of her brain, but when her memories get disrupted, it's a race against time and her own consciousness to figure out the secrets that lie locked in her past, secrets that have the potential to save them all.

Summary
“If that could be fixed in a week you’d be a saint,” he says.
“And we both know I’m not,” she allows herself a little quip.
Ekko looks at her. Really looks at her.
Caitlyn doesn’t have anything to say about that, is tugging her hood back up when the door bursts open.
“Since when did you have the door closed, Little Man—”
Her hands almost freeze on the hood but she thinks she makes it in time when the last, last, last person she thought she’d ever see again comes barreling through the unlocked door.
What if Vi left with Jinx? What if she comes back?

Summary
Reaching a hand up to pinch the bridge of her nose, Vi screwed her eyes shut. It felt like every hour with Caitlyn she learned something world-shattering, and she just had to take it in stride. What else could she do?
But something else in her made her notice that in all of Caitlyn’s fear, in all her desperation, the one person she’d turned to had been Vi. Out of the whole world, it was Vi.

(Cait/Vi) [This Gilded Abyss!AU] Vi's tried for years to move on from her past, from a lost sister and a broken heart.

“Piltover?” Vi asks, looking back at Ekko who just shrugs. She takes a step closer to Caitlyn, invading her space. “Let me ask you something– Caitlyn–was it?” Her voice is so close to her face. “You got a last name?” Caitlyn feels her stomach drop at the question.
“Well, actually…this might sound mad–” Caitlyn starts. She turns away from Vi, in need of some reprieve. She rubs her brow with the tips of her fingers, as if she could conjure up a better answer. “I don’t know my last name. I was found wandering around when I was about nine years old,” Caitlyn says sheepishly.
Vi nods, as if she understood. “And, uh, before that– before you were nine?” She brings her finger to her chin.
“Look, I know I must sound ridiculous, but I genuinely don’t remember. I have– very few memories of my past.” Caitlyn looks down at her hands clasped in front of her now. Her thumbs rub together.
Vi looks back at Ekko again, huffing a small laugh.
“Well I do have one clue, I suppose. And that is Piltover."

“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
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
