    Summary

    Caitlyn's eyes are staring into hers and Vi is eleven years old again, when Vander took her stargazing and taught her a trick to switch your perspective so that the stars are below you instead of above and it feels like there’s nothing at all stopping you from falling into them.

    “S’alright, Cupcake. Had worse,” Vi mumbles as her eyelids begin to flutter, but she’s not sure if that’s true. She hasn’t felt this numbness before, the one spilling all over her chest and throat and there’s a thick fog filling her mind and something is pounding harsh and fast in her ears.

    ──────

    One year since toxic gases poured through the streets of Piltover. One year since Ambessa Medarda declared Martial Law on the so-called Nation of Zaun. One year since Jayce Talis disappeared.

    Vi is below rock bottom and the stone is so soft and warm that she thinks she will stay down here, thank you very much.

    Caitlyn's new life is confusing and empty and she can't quite forget about the one person who ever helped her feel less lost.

    One night, one fight, one knife hurtles them back together and onto the run and they realise they're holding on to each other like the earth itself is moving away under their feet.
