    Summary

    Vi shook her head, too fast. “You don’t know what you saw.”

    “I do. I saw finger marks, Vi. Around your throat.” Caitlyn’s voice rose despite herself, and her eyes were sharp, searching. “Are you really going to pretend I imagined that?”

    Vi looked cornered. Her body tensed, as if every muscle inside her had seized up. Her eyes darted to the pavement, to the trees, to anywhere but Caitlyn.

    “I don’t—” she started, her voice small.

    “Why won’t you let me care about you?” Caitlyn asked, her voice cracking. “Why won’t you let me in? Is this even a friendship if you won’t let me help?”

    Or

    Harvard AU where Caitlyn has a crush on the soccer jock, but Vi keeps pulling away. Caitlyn knows she’s hiding something—she just doesn’t know what.

    Or

    Powder is sick, and Vi is willing to do anything she can to save her. Even if that means losing herself in the process.

    And Caitlyn watches as Vi unravels.

    Summary

    “Hey, kid,” a familiar voice said, though it was different. Harder, broken, a sharp edge to it, like a knife dragged through shards of broken glass. There was a slight slur to it, the alcohol heavy on her breath.

    Another beat.

    “Get out of the way, would you?” Said the stranger, who wasn’t a stranger at all.

    Felicia’s jaw dropped.

    OR, during her pit fighting era, vi meets a kid with a ridiculous posh accent and blue eyes the same shade as her own.

    Summary

    But she's always on about the kids. War orphans or Firelight family members. Full of enough energy to power an airship, and on some days, it's Vi's job to burn it. Her grins are always widest on those evenings, so utterly proud of herself, the tiny lives she's impacting.

    Caitlyn smiles shakily. "You're very good with them."

    "They're just little people," Vi deflects sheepishly, setting her cloth down, kicking her slippers in opposite directions.

    "And yet, I've never had the knack," Caitlyn watches Vi's satisfied little grin stay stuck across her face, and she just about makes up her mind. "I suppose I can… I-I can learn."

    With their wedding on the horizon, Caitlyn inevitably considers what may come after. But where is there room to want, when what comes after is an expectation?

    (OR: Caitlyn isn't sure she and Vi are on the same page. But she'd do anything for her.)

    Summary

    “Come on, Champion. You’re so close. Fucking finish it.” You shove her again. She catches your fists, tosses them to the side, and delivers two uppercuts to your jaw before sinking a final punch into your gut.

    Punch after punch crashes against your armor. Beauregard dances on light feet in front of you. Nimble. Graceful. Stunning. She occupies your field of view, pulling you away from the rest of the battle. Obann’s commands ring like cathedral bells in your mind. Attack. Hurt. Kill. Destroy.

    Summary

    "Do you want to come back?"

    Alex shrugs again, but Vi's been Alex before. She knows what a quick glance up at her and then away means. Please don't make me beg if you're going to say no.

    "I guess."

    "I'll go talk to her," Vi says, helping Alex takes the gloves off. "You can keep the wraps. If you need to hit anything, that will make it better."

    "Kay."

    "Kay," Vi parrots back. Alex trails after her. "What's your foster mum called?"

    Vi yanks the door open, ready for a fight with a snooty old woman. She stops so suddenly that Alex barrels into her back. Because sure, the woman in front of her is snooty as fuck, but heavens is she pretty.

    "Caitlyn," Alex says as she opens her arms for a running Lavender. "Caitlyn Kiramman."

    -

    OR: Vi didn't know how to let Caitlyn save her. Caitlyn tries to save her anyway.
