    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

    Caitlyn Kiramman has spent her entire life under the crushing weight of high society expectations. As a rising lawyer from a wealthy Long Island family, she’s used to playing the part—until her mother demands she bring a “suitable” date to the Met Gala or face yet another arranged setup with one of New York’s elite bachelors. In a moment of defiance, Caitlyn blurts out a lie: she already has a girlfriend.

    Enter Vi—an underground MMA fighter from Manhattan who couldn’t care less about wealth, reputation, or Caitlyn’s perfectly controlled world. Desperate to sell the illusion, Caitlyn makes Vi an offer she can’t refuse: pretend to be her girlfriend for six months, attend a few events, and collect a generous payout. Easy money.

    Except nothing is ever that easy.

    Between staged dates in Central Park, public kisses that feel a little too real, and Vi looking obscenely good in a tux at the Met, Caitlyn starts to wonder if maybe—just maybe—she’s in over her head. But when family interference and unspoken fears threaten to unravel everything, Caitlyn and Vi are left with one final question:

    Was it all just an act? Or was it real all along?

    Summary

    Lexa and her company were deployed into the very heart of the outbreak in Downtown LA without any real knowledge of why exactly they were there. The outbreak had spread well before the Government had attempted to contain it, the infected quickly filling the cities and towns across the country. 697 days later the Government had disbanded, the law was non existent and it was survival of the fittest within a now cruel world. Lexa had done well to get the group as far as they were but they were beginning to lose all hope and direction, though that was exactly what Clarke Griffin presented to them.
