    Summary

    “Hey,” Vi said softly, her voice slurred just enough to betray her. “Didn’t mean to wake you.”

    Caitlyn’s eyes flicked to the bandage at her side, then back to her face. Her reply came just as gently, a mirror of that same effort to keep things from unraveling. “You didn’t.”

    Vi leaned against the doorframe, favoring one side. She gestured vaguely at herself, her mouth tugging into the shadow of a smile. “Looks worse than it is.”

    A joke missing its punchline.

    Caitlyn didn’t smile. She didn’t even blink.

    She wanted to drag Vi to the mirror. Make her look. Make her see the woman Caitlyn had just watched stagger into their home. The blood. The bruises. The way she always seemed to walk the line between defiant and self-destructing, like she thought pain made her real.

    ----

    A one-shot set after the war, after Caitlyn and Vi return to their roles as Enforcers — after a day that left them both gutted.

    A boy died on their watch. Vi disappeared. Caitlyn waited.

    What follows is a fight that begins in silence and ends in the quiet gravity of a shared couch.

    There’s no closure. No clean resolution. But something softer: the certainty of love.

    Summary

    “No,” Caitlyn whispers, shoulders slipping. Oh, she’s not strong enough for this. “No, no- you- why you? Why you?”

    She still smells the way she did two years ago— standing at their doorstep, packing her bags, saying we shouldn’t have done this. I shouldn’t have done this.

    “Why me,” Vi repeats. “Isn’t that the fucking question.”

    or: they're exes, they're still in love, and they're pretty sure fate just fucking hates them

    Summary

    “I wasn’t planning on paying with my looks,” Blue said with a chuckle. She had confidence, but not arrogance, in her smile. “You know I have the cogs to pay.”

    “Then I’m all yours.”

    Blue pursed her lips, hiding a smile. “That’s a dangerous thing to say.”

    Summary

    Vi saw her and knew.
    Caitlyn saw Vi...and everything got complicated.

    One grew up in the South Side, where dreams don't survive.
    The other was raised in luxury, where perfection was a cage.

    They stand together for years, caught in the gravity of what’s never said.

    But something has been waiting in the dark — and it's finally reaching for them. And it will change everything.

    Will they ever name the light they’ve always kept hidden?

    "Vi swallowed thickly, her heartbeat pounding so loud in her temples it drowned out everything else.
    It felt like it was pumping molten gold; dense, burning, and unbearably precious.
    She was a paradox made flesh. A hurricane of stillness. Chaos flooding in perfect harmony.
    How could something so dizzying, so immense, feel so soothing?
    How could the tight knot in her throat be the only thing keeping her grounded?
    Nothing seemed to exist but the sheer need to answer those damn questions. Two forces crammed into a space too tight not to clash."

    Summary

    It was a room. A very precarious state of what should be a room. Or maybe cell was a better description. There was a sink and a toilet on one side. A metal bed attached to the wall in front of her. Everything seemed very old, as if it had been stored and forgotten there for years.

    Caitlyn saw she was not alone. Under the bed, occupying the smallest possible space, there was a person.

    A child.

    "What's your name? I'm Vi," she continued when there was no response. If Caitlyn couldn't see the girl's chest rising and falling, she'd doubt whether she was even alive. "This is Caitlyn. Who are you?"

    The minutes passed. Caitlyn was already thinking of her fifth contingency plan when the child moved. An almost imperceptible movement. A slight lift of her neck, allowing for a better view of her intruders. "Lavender," her voice was thin, yet hoarse, as if it hadn't been exercised in a while.

    "Nice to meet you, Lavender."

    Summary

    Vi doesn’t know how it happened. She had too much to drink, she supposes. Everyone kept handing her shots and cans of beer, celebrating the boxing team’s win at yesterday’s match. One moment, she and Caitlyn are arguing in the hallway of a random house party. The next thing she knows, she is roughly shoving Caitlyn into the first room she sees and hiking up her skirt.

     

    Or,

    Caitlyn and Vi are enemies with benefits.

    Summary

    It all started with a note - written in the ugliest handwriting Caitlyn had ever seen.

    "I used your bed. Funny fact, you smell like cupcakes."

    In the break room, they had six beds distributed for use among shifts. But Caitlyn's bed wasn't part of that set. No, she had bought a seventh piece of furniture with her own money - with a mattress specifically made for her shoulder and lower back pains.

    Everyone knew they shouldn't lie down there. Except, apparently, the new hire.

    As a first offense, Caitlyn decided to let it slide, with a simple note on the bed.

    "Property of Caitlyn Kiramman."

    Maybe the mistake had been due to ignorance, after all. Although, three days later, to her complete displeasure, came her response.

    "Good to know you have a name, Cupcake. PS: your mattress is really good."

    Summary

    Oh sweet girl. ‘I got you, I got you.’ Oh sweet, sweet girl.

    It’s been three weeks since Caitlyn lost her eye, and just under two since she’d gotten home from hospital. Recent days had seen an increase in her mobility, the pain from a bruised ACL, a surgically repaired abdomen and multiple broken ribs becoming more manageable. It was progress, great progress actually given how battered her body had been following the war. It just…presented new challenges.

    Because Caitlyn would never have tripped over that stool before.

    Summary

    Vi has always been reckless with her own life—until it’s no longer hers to gamble. Until the sickness steals her breath, until Caitlyn holds her with shaking hands, begging her to stay.

    So they run. To the wilds, to the ocean, to the places where time slows down and nothing can hurt them. Vi swears she’ll fight. Caitlyn swears she’ll save Vi. But some battles were lost before they even began.

    Summary

    This hallucination of Caitlyn is soft because it’s the Caitlyn Vi knows. It’s the Caitlyn who said she’d be mad to trust Vi and sprung her out of Stillwater, who jumped her way down into Zaun, who gave her gun away. It’s the Caitlyn who held her close and kissed her.

    It’s the Caitlyn Vi loved.

    Summary

    "What, do you actually think we have anything in common?" Vi asks.

    "Are you talking about Topside and Undercity or the two of us?" Caitlyn asks.

    “Caitlyn,” Vi says slowly, it’s the first time Caitlyn’s heard Vi say her name. She could grow used to it, though she’ll likely never have the chance. “You and I are night and day, land and sea, oil and water. I’d say we have nothing in common.”

    “I think if you really believed that you wouldn’t be here right now,” Caitlyn points out. “You would have killed me and been long gone.”

    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?

    All the old fragments and shards of Vi's past life, of her history — Caitlyn would do everything and anything she could to preserve it, to let Vi keep and own the pieces of the world that had shaped her, molded her into the protector she was now today.

    Hopefully, in the new world they'd make together, there'd be a piece and a place, just for them too.

    “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

    Different families have different mixtures, he tells her. The Kirammans have always liked to add a variety of mushrooms for fragrance and texture so Caitlyn mixes in the finely chopped pieces as he hands them to her to mix into the filling.

    It’s oily on her fingers, the minced pork just the right ratio of fat to lean, the mushrooms and diced cabbage having been squeezed of water. Caitlyn adds the salt, pepper, drizzling on the sesame oil the way they always have.

    Then Father reaches for a few water chestnuts and Caitlyn giggles as Mother’s face pinches.

    “I don’t see why they must crunch, dear. Don’t we get enough texture from the cabbage?”

    Caitlyn makes dumplings with family.

    Summary

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.
