Summary
Her body knows it before her mind can begin to catch up. Her heart beats in tandem with the person her muscles seek out in her delirium. The phantom touch of her hand, gripping and caressing. Lips that were made for Vi’s. Skin Vi had spent months touching in her drunken fantasies. Blue eyes that unearthed the bloody organ in her chest. Bile rises in her throat at the thought of–
We’re meant to lose this fight.
Caitlyn.

Vi doesn’t notice a slain Ambessa. She doesn’t notice the way red flags are still raised like a shield, all adorning the Medarda crest. She only just notices that red-headed officer that clung to Caitlyn like a parasite strewn in a lifeless heap. But she can’t focus on that now. On the implications of it. Because Caitlyn still lies there. Unmoving.Series

Summary
Slender fingers find her own in her mindless grazing over Caitlyn’s skin. They trail over the top of Vi’s hand, her touch pointed and gentle where Vi’s skin is split open.
“We should–” Caitlyn clears her throat, the sound almost shy. She’s holding Vi’s hand now, thumb taking inventory of Vi’s self-inflicted wounds. “We should take a look at your hands.”
The suggestion is so soft. So tentative. And in some less hazy part of Vi’s brain, she knows Cait’s right.
It isn’t even a thought when her arms wrap around Caitlyn’s waist, pulling them even more flush together. She buries her face in the crook of Caitlyn’s neck, shamelessly breathing her in before murmuring, her voice a cracked and low hum, “Later, Cupcake. Let me have this first.”
Because there was a moment– several moments, all of them scattered in broken glass bottles on an apartment floor she never wants to see again– where she never thought she’d get to have this.

Summary
“I feel like this thing is gonna swallow me,” Vi chuckles instead, hands poking out to accept the steaming cup.
Caitlyn cups her jaw with a soft, teasing smile. “Hmm well your skin was turning blue, darling.” Vi turns her head, kissing the center of her palm, the smell of rainwater and her perfume making Vi’s heart stutter. She kisses it again.
The ceramic warms her hands, but her insides are warmer for other reasons. One of them being the way Cait’s lips feel against the shell of her ear. “I’ll go run us a bath,” she says, promise and comfort dripping from her tone.
“Mmm and what if I wanted a bath to myself?” Vi teases, turning her head to try and catch Caitlyn’s lips.
Caitlyn pulls back, her knee pressing into the mattress next to Vi’s hip where she kneels over her. She quirks a brow in genuine question. “Do you?”
Vi smirks. “Not at all.”OR:
