Summary
Vi is the head barista and part-time manager of The Last Drop, a coffee shop and café in Piltover. Caitlyn is a coffee-loving PhD student at the nearby university who spends every weekday working from her favorite table at The Last Drop. Despite an obvious attraction, the two women are immediately at odds with each other the moment their paths cross. Over time, they'll navigate past their differences and form a unique arrangement.
This is an enemies to friends with benefits to lovers arc set in a modern coffee shop/café AU. I am writing it specifically at the request of my wife, who has a thing for barista-centric fanfics and loves Caitlyn/Vi. Chapter titles are quotes from Arcane.
B, I love you so much. This is first-and-foremost for you.

Summary
“Your last solo album is proof enough that Jinx was Powder-Keg’s writer and you were simply the front man; there’s nothing wrong with that. I don’t need you to be a songwriter, I have hundreds of those at my disposal. I need your voice, your stage presence and your star power. Can you do that for me?”
Vi was still busy deciding whether or not to be offended when the question was posed, so it took her a moment to answer, “I guess.”

Summary
Caitlyn hadn’t meant to find it.
It had well and truly been an accident.
The thumbnail in the gallery had been just a tiny glimpse; all Caitlyn could see was the edge of a narrow hip and a hand holding a vibrator, both of which were nondescript at first glance.
What she wasn’t expecting was the person she’d been trying to avoid fantasizing about all along. Right there, in all her masculine glory, grinning at the camera as she steps back from it is Vi. She’s wearing a black sports bra and boxer briefs, that bright white vibrator held in a loose fist as she sits down on the edge of her bed. Her body is out of this world, all lean bulk and broad shoulders. Cailtyn fights the urge to scream into a pillow. The universe must be playing a joke on her.
--
caitlyn has a crush and it haunts her in the worst way.

Summary
Oh, this was fucking perfect. Vi had been pissed since they had spotted the shiny, silver and blue bus that had “University of Piltover” painted on the side in neat font stopped on the side of the road with steam rolling out of the engine.
Vander and Ekko had gotten off to see if Ekko could help.
Ekko had gotten back on the bus after not very long, hollering over the music, which had gotten cranked since they were just sitting there, “yeah, they’re stuck. Radiator’s shot, it’ll need replacement parts and we’re nowhere near auto stores.”
There were a few groans of sympathy, despite the fact that the whole team knew the bus was full of a bunch of stuck up Pilties.
Vander wasn’t back on the bus yet, which meant…Vi didn’t know what.
“Hey, Mylo! Can you see him? What’s happening?”
“I don’t know. Oh, hold up. He just pointed at the bus! The fuck does that mean?”
Vi had a sneaking suspicion that whatever it meant, it was likely to make her day worse.
OR:
Caitlyn is the rifle team captain for the University of Piltover, Vi's the boxing team captain for Zaun U, and they hate each other...but they're stuck together until they get back home
