    All it takes is one night for everything to change.

    or

    Summary

    What if Arcane was a lesbian meet cute instead of a heartbreaking start of darkness?

    Well, it'd probably be trite nonsense compared to the goddam masterpiece we got, but at least they'd be happy.

    Summary

    While she has been teaching Vi the Gmaj7 chord, she has been contemplating how her breath tastes. How shocked and wide her eyes would go if Caitlyn laid just the softest touch on her jaw. What her gasp would sound like if Caitlyn whispered against her earlobe. How those rock hard shoulders would drop defenselessly –

    “I can manage,” she says instead.

     

    Vi is a solo music artist who is having a hard time getting traction. Caitlyn’s successful band is on the verge of breaking out of their local music scene. When Caitlyn’s band needs a new guitarist and Vi auditions, they both get more than they bargained for.

    OR

    Sad indie guitar boy Vi aches to fall in love. Slutty femme top art rock phenom Caitlyn Womanizer Kiramman has promised her band she won't sleep with her new guitarist. But she's not sure how long she can hold out.

    Summary

    But this is real. Almost terrifyingly real. It would have scared her, back then, made her reach out to test the illusion like she hadn’t ever dared to, knowing her knuckles would meet nothing but empty air. But this vision casts a shadow, catches the warm light of the bunker, sports tiny imperfections of exhaustion and effort her drunken dreams hadn’t ever seen. It’s real. She’s looking right at her.

    “Sorry to say,” Caitlyn’s voice goes softer, lower, “You’ve grown a bit predictable.”

    She blows air through her nose as the last syllable leaves her lips honey-smooth, and Vi somehow manages to recognize humour in her tone, but Caitlyn’s arms are still crossed, she isn’t moving, but-

    She’s smiling, she’s gorgeous, she’s playful and she’s right here.

    She’s here. She’s come back to me.

    And Vi lunges to capture the lips of the girl who’d once held her hand through a safe and warm sleep.

    In a bunker far below ground, Vi is lost, has lost it all- until those beautiful blue eyes find her again.
