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 and Caitlyn have spent five years building a life together, balancing the calm of home with the chaos of their demanding careers. Caitlyn, a brilliant detective, upholds Piltover’s order, while Vi, a fearless lieutenant, was shaped by the streets of Zaun and forged in conflict.
Their world shatters when escalating tensions explode into war. Vi is sent to the frontlines, leaving Caitlyn behind to navigate a web of betrayal, intrigue, and an unseen threat tightening its grip on Piltover.
The separation turns to heartbreak when Vi is declared dead in action. A year later, as the war ends, Caitlyn is left to piece together the remnants of her shattered life.
But everything changes when Vi returns—alive but unrecognizable after enduring months in enemy captivity. Who is the woman who came back? And can the love they once shared withstand the devastating scars of war?

Summary
She stares up into the sky. It’s too bright for most of the stars to be seen—that’s how the full moon works—but she can still catch the glimpse of one or two.
There’s the quiet clearing of a throat, to which Cass does not shriek, nor does she jump, though she does flinch a little in surprise.
“Might you be lost, child?”
Cass looks up into eyes that are the same as Mother’s and now also Corinne’s.
This person isn’t definitely neither Mother nor Corinne though. If anything, her hair is curled into waves that are almost the same as Cass’ own.
In a corner of Ionia, Cassandra Kiramman the Second meets Cassandra Kiramman the First

Summary
Her mouth is left agape for a few minutes, the silence creating a pressure like it’s a vice grip. All of the composure she had desperately held together when dealing with Vi was suddenly obliterated at the site of her mother. She was young and more beautiful than she could have imagined. The wrinkles from years of stress and worry are gone. The grey hairs that speckle her navy hair aren’t yet showing. Her eyes are softer as her spirit has not been beat down yet by years of running and protecting a city while maintaining the duties of her house and the duties to her child.
Cass will do everything in her power to save Vi because by saving Vi, she now truly knows it will save her mother as well.
————
When a mystery visitor alters Vi’s plans on a normal Friday afternoon, she finds that her whole world is suddenly turned upside down. The visitor brings news of a tragic event that can be prevented, but Vi is unsure that the risk is worth the reward.

Summary
Caitlyn Kiramman was always meant for more—for Piltover, for greatness, for a life where everything had a place, everything made sense. Vi was never supposed to be part of that equation.
They were young when they first met. They weren't dating, not really. Gravity is the reason we fall, Caitlyn had said to her. But Vi knows now—there are other forces, unseen, inescapable. Light bends under gravity. Even the brightest things carry weight. And Caitlyn had always been light to her.
Years later, Vi sees Caitlyn’s name on the news. Caitlyn, who has been in control of everything, is in a car crash. Twisted metal, shattered glass, sirens wailing into the night. By the time Vi reaches the hospital, they’re already fighting to keep Caitlyn alive. She watches from the ER doorway as doctors force air into Caitlyn’s lungs, as her heart monitor flatlines, as they shock her back to life.
Vi doesn’t go inside Caitlyn's room. Maddie does. The fiancée. The woman Caitlyn chose.
Vi should leave. She should let go. But some things never stop moving, even when they should. Even light, when it’s close enough to the edge, can’t escape.
