    Summary

    “I keep on asking myself the same questions over and over again,” she said. “Maybe you can answer. Was it worth it?“

    I stared down at my hand. It was shaking, but it wasn’t from fear.

    “Would you do it all over again? Knowing what you know now? Knowing that you end up here, at gunpoint?“

    “I… know I’m supposed to say yes,” the words made their way past my lips. “But no. Some-somewhere along way, it became no.”

    Summary

    When Jayce's banishment from Piltover leads Caitlyn to dive into the Undercity and inadvertently save the life of Sheriff Grayson, she finds herself tangled in a web of intrigue and conspiracy that threatens to unravel her world and everything she knows... including herself.

    Meanwhile, after losing her entire family to a shady figure from Vander's past, Vi finds herself the ward of Piltover's Sheriff, who has no idea how to help the grief stricken girl, but is determined to give her the best chance she's got at a bright future, in spite of the forces now working to silence her.

    And it's the unlikely kinship that's forged between these two women deep in the fiery depths of this silent war that will reshape the history of Piltover forever.

    Love has a way of conquering all... even your own demons.

    Summary

    Slowly, her brain came back to Runeterra. She blinked, trying to focus on her surroundings. Vi had been laid to rest on an old, tattered red chair tucked against a bean bag so she could stretch out her legs. Above her, there was a colorful canopy illuminated with string lights. Amongst the clutter on the little table sat a ragdoll with a body made out of a music box with woven bright magenta hair.

    Vi had an idle thought of the ragdoll being dressed in a vaguely familiar manner, before her eyes landed on her own younger face, painted in watercolor inside a wooden frame.

    The recognition took a moment to sink in. “What the fuck?”

    Or: Vi visits that other timeline.
