Summary
She is well aware that she is being difficult.
It would not be the first time someone has described her as that in more polite words, nor, Caitlyn suspects, will it be the last time someone does so. She is not trying to be difficult on purpose—there is rather no point in that and she has no desire to add to the stresses that those around her are already suffering. If anything, she'd much rather they cease this ridiculous babying and let her do things that will help.
She's healing, yes, but she's not incapacitated. She's wounded, yes, but she's not immobile. She has two good hands, half of a good leg, a good eye, and a brain that is gnawing desperately at the bars of its enclosure, rattling against the inside of her skull. She can't sit still, she finds it so difficult to hold her tongue and stars above, she's trying.
She really is.
Caitlyn shoots again.

Summary
The movement, shouts and sirens around her fade. The world goes quiet. And suddenly Caitlyn is looking up again at a blood red sky, watching a hauntingly beautiful blue comet cut across it. It touches that same ornate window she looks at now and the world erupts in light and glass and flames.
For years Caitlyn couldn’t stop imagining what it must have been like in that room, the milliseconds after that smiling missile collided with the window pane. For years she couldn’t erase the bloody image of her mother’s body on the debris-covered floor.
And now she stares up at that same room again, painfully aware that another member of her family stood there today.
OR
An unexpected incident with Hextech leaves Caitlyn and Vi's youngest daughter injured, altering the course of all of their lives forever.

Summary
Dr. Kiramman steers her through the chaos and plants her in a chair. Does something to her arm that hurts like fuck, then drapes her in bags of ice and wraps her in a sling. Blinds her with a pen light—“Called it,” she mumbles when he confirms she’s concussed—and presses two pills and a warm mug into her hand. It smells herbaceous. Familiar.
“I brought the good stuff from home,” Dr. Kiramman confesses, and it takes her a moment to understand he means tea. “Extra honey for you. I know you haven’t acquired the taste.”
He’s right in that she only actually drank it once, the first time it was offered—the afternoon they spoke to the Council, several lifetimes ago. But she tasted it just this morning in Caitlyn’s mouth, grassy and sweet. So she pops the pills and takes a sip. Tries not to think about whether that terrified kiss over breakfast was their last. “I want to see her.”
After the war, Vi and Cait recover, and rebuild.

Summary
Vi scoffed and stomped forward, the gravel crunching beneath her feet as she approached Caitlyn, who looked up at her with an empty, disinterested expression.
She stopped right in front of her, chest puffed out, voice dripping with venom.
“Good lord, Kiramman, maybe pace yourself for once. What’s the plan? Smoke yourself into an early grave so we don’t have to deal with you anymore?”
Caitlyn’s head jerked slightly, her features a cool mask of indifference.
“Though I am flattered by your concern," she said icily, taking a slow, deliberate drag from her cigarette, “I assure you that I am perfectly capable of handling myself, thank you very much.”
“Oh, yeah? Is that why you’re here?”
Caitlyn slightly perked one of her eyebrows. The look on her face made Vi immediately feel incredibly stupid and childish.
“No. I am here to smoke a cigarette. In peace. Why are you here?”

Summary
Caitlyn had called him an artist, but Ekko is far from the only one in Zaun, let alone Piltover. Caitlyn Kiramman, with all her wealth and influence could have asked the greatest craftsman in all of Runeterra. But she’s here instead. Sitting on his tiny couch in his underground treehouse. “Why me?”
Caitlyn blinks once and then tips her chin, voice low and sincere. “You're family.”
OR
Caitlyn has an important favor to ask of Ekko many years after the war.
