Summary
“Excuse me-”
Jolting, Cass finds herself nose to nose with an achingly familiar, and yet completely unknown face. The stranger blinks at her with round eyes as deep blue as Cass’ own sister and mother. She stumbles back a few steps when Cass bolts upright, just as startled. The girl is around Cass’ age, maybe a little older. Immediately Cass recognizes her, although her face is different. Sharp jaw rounded by childhood softness. Dark, straight cobalt locks frame her high cheekbones and bright blue eyes locked on Cass’ own. Before she even speaks in a familiar lilting accent, Cass realizes she’s looking at the younger face of her mother.
“I’m sorry to startle you,” she apologizes unnecessarily to the intruder under her oak tree. “But I was wondering who you are and why you're asleep in my family's garden?”
OR
Cass II and Corinne take an unexpected trip into the past to meet their parents and come to understand them better as individuals.

“I don’t know,” Vi sighs. “I guess it was just that–”
“-there was always someone else to live for,” Caitlyn finishes for her.
OR
Corinne has a nightmare about losing her parents after Vi tells her the story of how she lost her own.

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
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.

Summary
“Micah said she was lying to me," Corinne mumbled.
“Who?”
“Mother.”
There was a stretch of silence as Vi reached for a roll of gauze.
“About what?”
“I don’t know.”
Tenderly, the bandages were wrapped around her knuckles. Snug but not too snug. A practiced motion. Corinne kept her eyes on their hands and added:
“About the war.”
OR
When an incident at school sends their daughters home injured, Caitlyn and Vi realize they can no longer keep the truth of their past from them. Their inherited legacy is one stained with blood, sweat and tears.

Summary
“Caitlyn.”
“Oh,” Jinx says knowingly, glancing Vi’s way out of the corner of her eye. “That’s the, uh, the cop girl, right? Maddie’s ex?”
A chorus of mutters and nods is the response.
“I’m being warned about her,” Vi tells her sister and Jinx blows her bangs out of her face.
“Good,” she says, almost snappishly. “Yeah, don’t date cop girl. You should date someone cool.”
“I’m not going to date anyone, not for a while. I need to get back on my feet first,” says Vi, drumming her fingers against the condensation of the glass. Thinking of Cupcake in her contacts, and that teasing smile.
Everything in Vi’s life right now is starting over. She’s spending the holidays on her sister’s pull-out futon, trying to make sense of the avalanche of changes, salvage what’s left of her family and figure out what she’s going to do next. The last thing she expects to do is include the beautiful woman she runs into on her first day in town, or this Caitlyn that everyone’s warning her to stay away from.

Summary
“Say it again,” Vi all but begs. Her fingers dig into Caitlyn’s wrist and hip where she holds her close like she’ll float away in the ripples the wind makes in the grass, like the tide, like she isn’t Caitlyn’s anchor. Like she isn’t the only thing keeping Caitlyn afloat.
“Qīn’ài de. Oh, qīn’ài de. My dearest.”
Vi kisses her under the sunshine, the first time she’s felt it in years, and Caitlyn kisses back. Wind rustles through the trees, birds are singing, Caitlyn’s mom is dead, and she kisses Vi in the backyard she grew up in like she’s wanted to from the moment those bars between them slid open and Inmate 516 had a name again, a future again.
“Again,” Vi breathes. Their noses brush.
Caitlyn says it into her mouth as if Vi swallowing will keep it in her forever. “Qīn’ài de.”
(Or, it’s not just language. There's knowing and then there's understanding.)

Summary
“The views from the mountain are spectacular this time of year.” Her father had set the album in her lap with it opened to a photo of Caitlyn and her mother tossing handfuls of seed into the grass and laughing as a flock of hungry birds descended on them from above. “I’m certain Vi would love the villa just as much as you always have.” With a hand on her shoulder and a kiss on the top of her head, he’d smiled and added, “I think the two of you have more than earned a bit of rest. Even a brief one. Wouldn’t you agree?”
So, that’s how Caitlyn found herself elbow deep in neatly folded clothing the day after her wedding, with Vi humming quietly as she packed her own bag beside her.
***
Caitlyn and Vi spend a few weeks alone at the family villa in the mountains for their honeymoon. And after all the chaos that has followed them throughout their lives so far, such a soft and sweet interlude is welcome for the both of them.
This is a continuation of my previous fics Something to Get Used To and To Be Known as Yours, but can be read as a standalone story as well.

Summary
She taps her straw against her cup absentmindedly, “I don’t know — just — she’s always off when that stupid topsider is around. All blushy and gross and —”
She barely finishes her sentence before Lux’s expression changes completely, pink lips splitting into a wide grin, all teeth and the shiny apples of her cheeks. Whether it’s out of frustration or just an excuse to avert her eyes from the sudden bright sight, Powder drops her head down onto the bar with an audible conk .
“Do you think she might —” The blonde clasps her hands together in a childish kind of glee, leaning in close to Ekko and Powder. “like her? ”
...
In which Powder watches in a bewildered and horrified sort of fascination — and a little disgust — as Caitlyn and Vi blunder through the grossness of young love. ( And maybe she learns a few things about herself, too. )

Summary
As Vi rubs a dry towel too harshly over her face, she mumbles into it the same thing she said before. “I didn’t know I could do that.”
Cait’s chest is warm again for a new reason, and then all of her is warm. Vi is still gripping the towel, so Cait tries to counteract her tension with a soft kiss to her forehead. “You can do it again,” she whispers against Vi’s skin. “If you’d like to.” Vi’s breathing catches, and Cait thinks she feels a slight nod. Maybe.
