    Summary

    Caitlyn believes she knows her plan. She doesn't need happiness, she doesn't need love. Those things are overrated anyway.

    Then the child shows up.

    Then her mom shows up.

    And just like that, happiness and love are thrust back onto her path. And she must decide if she's going to fight for them, or let her fear push her back to her original plan.

    Or

    Caitlyn didn't know she had a kid with Vi until that kid decided being a family should be part of their plan.

    Summary

    Caitlyn’s shaky breath against her neck feels like the only lifeline Vi has left tethering her to her sanity and she’s not eager to lose it.

    Or

    Vi doesn't know how to handle all the feelings she's dealing with after watching her sister blow up the council so she does what she always does and keeps forging ahead until she's fixed it, made it irreparably worse or been knocked unconscious. She's hoping for the latter, she's kind of tired.

    Summary

    Her relatively brief life had taught many things, good and bad. One of her first memories taught her that there were silences that could be deafening in their meaningfulness, in the weight they carried, in the importance of what was not being told but understood nonetheless. Today, Vi learned that even the loudest explosion, an event bound to be deafening in its thunderous cacophony of igniting black powder, roaring flames sparking to life and consuming everything in their wake, the shattering of glass in millions of tiny shining shards and the crumbling of carefully placed stones and tiles could actually be completely and utterly silent. 

    In the aftermath of Jinx's destruction of the Council tower, Caitlyn and Vi struggle to pick up the pieces and patch them together the best they can.

    Changed the title because it sounded better.

    Summary

    “Are you sure?” She manages to croak out, voice wavering a little, and Nancy finally turns around. She’s grinning, a coy little smile Robin’s never had directed her way. Her heart skips in her chest as Nancy nods.

    “Yeah.” She confirms and Robin’s falling all over again. “Go to prom with me, Buckley.”

    Well. How the fuck is she supposed to say no to that?

    “Ok.” She breathes, eyes stuck somewhere between Nancy’s nose and mouth. Eye contact feels too much right now. Feels like she’d burst and burn and melt into a gleeful little supernova if she even tried. Because Nancy Wheeler just asked her to prom. Nancy Wheeler, who she’s definitely a little more than a little in love with, who knows her and loves her better than anyone else ever has, who has saved her life and slept in her bed and who is probably her best friend (other than Steve), has asked her to prom and Robin feels like she might actually die.

    “Pick me up at seven?”

    “Sure.” Robin nearly whispers and Nancy smiles even wider.

    Robin’s head spins with it all the way home.
