    Summary

    Caitlyn is not a workaholic. She loves her work, lives for it, but she is not a workaholic. Her social life is fine, her romantic life is... Fine. So what if its been years since her last proper relationship? So what if she only gets out once or twice a month? Plenty of people work as much as she does, more even. She's content with her lot in life, or so she thinks.

    Until she meets Vi. A woman who is not suffering the mother of all dry spells, who is not desperate, and who is not batting way above her league. Caitlyn's not just unattainable, she's a museum exhibit; look, but don't touch. Which is a damn shame because Vi really, really wants to touch.

    In other words, two lesbians in desperate need of companionship, but neither seem capable of doing what they want. Gods help them.

    Summary

    After ten years in Stillwater for a crime she didn't commit, Vi breaks herself out and goes home. Her homecoming doesn't go like she thought it would.

    Two years later, she's out of control and out on the streets. She's now a champion pitfighter, a raging alcoholic, and completely on her own. Despite her family's best (and desperate) efforts to help, Vi's on a one-way track to ending up either dead or back in prison.

    At the same time, Caitlyn arrives in the undercity to collect data and information for her thesis. She starts her research from a local bar called The Last Drop, which puts her right into Vi's path. Vi might have been out of her family's home for years, but she's still not going to let a topsider put them in danger.

    Canon divergence (everyone lives!), enemies to lovers (barely, the lovers aspect happens fast), angst, trauma, addiction, and also fluff and humour (because these things can co-exist!)

    Summary

    All Vi has wanted since her teenage years was to get revenge on those who bullied her sister.

    And now that she has the chance to get revenge, she doesn't plan to waste it.

    Even if Caitlyn interferes in her plans.

    Summary

    Vi was surprised, nay, absolutely fucking floored when Caitlyn looked her in the eye and offered, “If you strike out one night, you can just use me as a backup. I won’t tell.”

     

    Vi blinked at Caitlyn, the words ringing in her ears as she shook her head, clearly hearing things. “You mean like, to fake a hookup? I don’t think they’ll fall for that.”

     

    Caitlyn frowned, taking a sip of her coffee. “Why would we fake it?”

    Ekko challenges Vi to completing a perfect week, in which she has to sleep with the first woman she flirts with every night for a week straight. Cait offers to help her out if things go south. (Things go south.)

    Or, a 5 + 1 fic in which Cait gets jealous five times, and then turns the tables to make Vi jealous once.

    Summary

    “Then I’ll do it for you.”

    Caitlyn’s breath caught in her throat.

    Vi didn’t look away.

    “I’ll be your hands,” she lowered her voice just the slightest bit, now almost reverent. “And your eyes under the sea.”

    The words slipped between them like an unadorned vow. Yet it somehow sank into Caitlyn’s chest like weightless gravity.

    Her whole body went still.

    She forgot how to breathe.

    For a second, she almost thought she was underwater again, but not drowning. Just suspended and floating. Held.

    OR

    Caitlyn, a marine biologist, and Vi, a scuba diver, go on a six-month research expedition in Jervis Bay, Australia. And everything becomes sort of a midsummer night's dream.
