    Summary

    This is a post episode 8 look at Cait and Vi and how they navigate their relationships while also healing from all the trauma in their lives. It also acts as a study into the Kiramman Family dynamics, how Cait moves past her time with Ambessa, and how Vi handled life during her Pit Fighter phase.

    Flashbacks with Maddie, Ambessa and others serve as missing scenes to give a look into the thought process and reasoning behind much of what we saw in the show.
    This is part 1 of a show continuation i was asked to write. It's pre-written and I will be post approx. 3 chapters per day most days :)

    FYI the full title used to be Lovers, Hunters: The Clouds are Hanging Low.

    NOTE: Not all flashbacks are in order, but you should be able to figure the timeline out.
    TW: There's Maddie/Cait Sex and Vi/stranger danger sex.

    Summary

    The Atlas Gauntlets do what they're supposed to. They were made to mine the Fissures, to move stone and dirt, to empower their wearer to carry objects they would never have the strength to lift on their own.

    Thousands of pounds of rock slam down and the gauntlets catch them. And Vi has to hold them up.

    Summary

    It was a room. A very precarious state of what should be a room. Or maybe cell was a better description. There was a sink and a toilet on one side. A metal bed attached to the wall in front of her. Everything seemed very old, as if it had been stored and forgotten there for years.

    Caitlyn saw she was not alone. Under the bed, occupying the smallest possible space, there was a person.

    A child.

    "What's your name? I'm Vi," she continued when there was no response. If Caitlyn couldn't see the girl's chest rising and falling, she'd doubt whether she was even alive. "This is Caitlyn. Who are you?"

    The minutes passed. Caitlyn was already thinking of her fifth contingency plan when the child moved. An almost imperceptible movement. A slight lift of her neck, allowing for a better view of her intruders. "Lavender," her voice was thin, yet hoarse, as if it hadn't been exercised in a while.

    "Nice to meet you, Lavender."

    Or

    After a mission in Zaun, Caitlyn and Vi find a child. This is a story about how they become a family
