    Summary

    Caitlyn Kiramman is an instructor, principal dancer, and on the board of shareholders at Piltover School of Dance, a renowned dance academy owned by her parents. She's spent her whole life training, working, and doing everything right, but something has changed. Her love for contemporary dance and traditional form is failing, and she's willing to try anything to rekindle her love for dance.

    Vi is a coach and soloist at Lanes Academy, a nonprofit urban dance collective dedicated to bringing art to the streets of the Undercity. When Caitlyn decides she wants to delve into the world of hip-hop and street dance, Vi finds herself at the crossroads of years of trauma brought on by the Kirammans and their school, fighting feelings for the one woman she can't let herself have.

    Will they find the music in each other, or will they crumble?

    Summary

    [Formerly titled: Please don’t (let me fall in love with you)]

    ‘I promise you, Vi: she’s the real deal.’

    Vi rocks back in her chair, folding her arms and pursing her lips. Her gut is normally trustworthy, and her gut is yelling at her to run the fuck away from this one.

    But the tour is only days away. Tickets aren't selling, and from what she can see on social media it's because people are worried they're just going to cancel from the lack of a bass guitarist. Her options have been dwindling rapidly, and the only one she has left now is on her producer's desk, peering up at her from glossy stock paper, looking as unimpressed by the situation as Vi feels.

    She rocks forwards again, staring hard at the image. This woman — this Caitlyn — is holding the guitar comfortably between her hands, her fingers are positioned correctly along its strings, and Vi supposes that perhaps it's not all carefully-styled bluster.

    This is gonna be nothing but trouble, she thinks bitterly.

    — OR —

    Rock band AU inspired by @_nxahh's art, they're enemies to friends to lovers, and Vi is an absolute idiot (affectionate).

    Summary

    “You shouldn’t be the one asking me that,” Vi murmurs into her neck, and the vibration makes her shiver. “Caitlyn, you can’t be okay right now. I can’t even ask you that, not now. I know I can’t.”

    Caitlyn chokes, running her hand along the rough expanse of Vi’s undercut. “Ask me.”

    “I can’t.”

    “Please,” Caitlyn begs. She’ll catch me, she thinks, almost on reflex. “Please ask me.”

    - - -

    Following Jinx’s attack on Piltover, Caitlyn and Vi pick up the pieces of their shattered world in the wake of civil war and the threat of a Zaun occupation. Grieving but determined, Caitlyn agrees to team up with Vi once again to bring Jinx to justice, and heal their uncertain relationship.

    What will they gain along the way?

    What will they lose?
