Summary
Caitlyn allowed herself to indulge in the sight of her. Taking in every detail, no matter how small. The messy, uneven growth of the short side of her hair. The slowly healing cut slicing its way through the tattoo on her cheek. Dark circles under wide eyes, affectionate and present, yet with a lingering sadness that made Caitlyn’s heart ache for her.
“How are you doing?” Caitlyn asked quietly.
The answer to her question was a slow, measured exhale. Silence, presumably while Vi debated how truthful of an answer to give. Her brows knit together in a frown while her eyes never left Caitlyn’s.
“You can be honest with me,” Caitlyn added, reaching across the narrow space between them to rest her hand on Vi’s forearm, stroking her thumb lightly across her skin. “If you’d like to.”***
When the smoke clears, Caitlyn and Vi do their best to navigate the way their lives have changed in the aftermath. The good and the bad. The weight of old wounds and the fresh sting of new ones. But Caitlyn makes a discovery that gives them an unexpected hope. And they find that, together, this new life might just be something they can both get used to.

Summary
Of all the sparkling opulence Piltover had to offer, none of it even remotely compared to the one simple luxury Vi loved the most: waking up with long blue hair caught between her lips, drowsy fingers wandering up to accidentally poke her in the eyelid, dull toenails jabbing into her calf while hot puffs of stale morning breath swept up into her nostrils from just beneath her chin.
Caitlyn, curled into her so comfortably Vi could hardly believe she’d ever been able to sleep without her.
***
In this sequel to Something to Get Used To, Vi and Caitlyn continue to settle into the life they have chosen to build together as they work in pursuit of a better future for the cities they have both come to love. Jinx's presence poses new challenges, and the path to happiness is never an easy one, but they are determined to walk it together.
After all...Violet Kiramman really does have a nice ring to it.

Summary
If Nemesis was anything, she would never be soft. She could not accept too much of a good thing, such was her nature. But two mismatched eyes and an attitude she couldn’t resist may change that.

Summary
“Hey,” Vi said softly, her voice slurred just enough to betray her. “Didn’t mean to wake you.”
Caitlyn’s eyes flicked to the bandage at her side, then back to her face. Her reply came just as gently, a mirror of that same effort to keep things from unraveling. “You didn’t.”
Vi leaned against the doorframe, favoring one side. She gestured vaguely at herself, her mouth tugging into the shadow of a smile. “Looks worse than it is.”
A joke missing its punchline.
Caitlyn didn’t smile. She didn’t even blink.
She wanted to drag Vi to the mirror. Make her look. Make her see the woman Caitlyn had just watched stagger into their home. The blood. The bruises. The way she always seemed to walk the line between defiant and self-destructing, like she thought pain made her real.
----
A one-shot set after the war, after Caitlyn and Vi return to their roles as Enforcers — after a day that left them both gutted.
A boy died on their watch. Vi disappeared. Caitlyn waited.
What follows is a fight that begins in silence and ends in the quiet gravity of a shared couch.
There’s no closure. No clean resolution. But something softer: the certainty of love.

Summary
“Houston, do you copy?”
Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…
“Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”
Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”
There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.
“Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”
OR
Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

Summary
A sequel set during two different time periods taking place 15 and 30 years after the events of Cyberpunk 2077 and my earlier story titled 'I Promise.'
Life can be difficult at times and the past has an uncanny way to come back and haunt us when we least expect it. As time passes for Judy Alvarez following the events of I Promise, a series of events unfold during two key moments in her life which echo one another, even as she finds herself in very different phases of her life during those events. But as her life presents her with unexpected challenges, she will ultimately face the question of what purpose can be found in life when so much of it is anchored to the past.

Summary
A sentimental story following the war. This is the happily ever after we all wanted which includes little blue babies darn it! This is a total "Plot What Plot?" because I like the idea of giving the characters a nice calm life after all the crap they went through. Explicit LiaraxFemshep as well as a lot of hurt/comfort.

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
Scenes from the Shepard/Liara romance throughout the games and beyond. These scenes come from very different points in the character's lives so the tone of the chapters can be very different but most are lighthearted. There is sex but none of it is particularly graphic though the ladies seem to be in bed together a lot. Not much plot to speak of but hopefully, taken together, the pieces tell the story of their relationship, how it develops and how it changes throughout the course of the games and beyond.
