Summary
“I don’t want to do this over again because it killed me to have you suffer at my expense! And I just wanted to pay a visit. I just wanted to see how you were doing, and there was the ceremony, and you were so happy, and it was already hard for me to leave you the first time—”
Jinx stops mid-sentence, and Vi, still holding onto that flicker of hope, looks at her, searching for some kind of answer.
“Leave?” Vi’s voice trembles, the word feeling like it’s been ripped from her chest.
Jinx doesn’t move, standing there like her very soul is at war with itself. She looks away, her shoulders tense, but the regret in her eyes is clear, even if she’s not ready to admit it yet.
“What do you mean, leave?” Vi asks again, her voice soft but insistent. “You... you left on purpose?”
Jinx’s silence speaks volumes.
And Vi feels it—like the crash of a wave she never saw coming.
Vi has finally come to terms with herself and her healing process, but it all comes crashing down when the supposed dead is brought back to life in the form of pink eyes and blue hair.
…
A tale of two sisters - separated by choices, and slowly making their way back to each other, one truth at a time.

Summary
Caitlyn never believed in gods or miracles. But this time, she prayed.
There had to be a miracle.
Caitlyn and Jinx race against time, their hearts pounding as they fight to reach Vi before it’s too late. But some battles don’t come with an easy way out. Some choices leave scars deeper than any wound.
In the chaos of shattered steel and haunting echoes, one thing is certain—tonight will change everything.
An alternative take to the ending of Season 2 Episode 9.

Summary
Caitlyn’s hands cupped Vi’s face more firmly now, her gaze locking onto those powder-blue eyes, shimmering like stormy skies.
“You’ve been through hell, Vi. You’ve carried so much, and I know it feels impossible to let it go. But please, don’t you see? You deserve this peace. You deserve happiness. And I’m going to be here with you, every step of the way, you hear me? I am going to be here until you believe it too.”
After the battle of Piltover, Vi is consumed by grief over losing everyone, and the memory of Jinx haunts her every day. Drowning in depression, she pushes away all hope, even Caitlyn’s unwavering support.
But healing is a choice only Vi can make. Confronting her darkness, she learns to carry her pain, finding strength to rebuild herself and fight for a brighter future.

Summary
“I’m sorry, Vi. I really am,” Caitlyn’s voice trembled, thick with regret. “I… I want to fix things. I know I made a mistake, and I hurt you—”
“Hurt me?” Vi interrupted, a bitter laugh escaping her lips as she shoved Caitlyn’s arms off her shoulders. The force wasn’t violent, but it carried the weight of betrayal. “You didn’t just hurt me, Caitlyn,” she said, her voice sharp and raw. “You broke me.”
Every night, Vi is trapped in the same nightmare—Caitlyn, the woman she once loved, now filled with rage, suffocates her with hands that once brought comfort. Desperate to numb the pain, she drowns herself in fights and alcohol, using physical pain to escape the tightening grip of her past.
But as the nightmares worsen and her fights grow more brutal, Vi struggles to keep her balance. How long can she keep running before the ghosts of her past finally catch up with her?
[Written prior to Season 2 Act 2, hence not canon-compliant]

Summary
Vi scoffed and stomped forward, the gravel crunching beneath her feet as she approached Caitlyn, who looked up at her with an empty, disinterested expression.
She stopped right in front of her, chest puffed out, voice dripping with venom.
“Good lord, Kiramman, maybe pace yourself for once. What’s the plan? Smoke yourself into an early grave so we don’t have to deal with you anymore?”
Caitlyn’s head jerked slightly, her features a cool mask of indifference.
“Though I am flattered by your concern," she said icily, taking a slow, deliberate drag from her cigarette, “I assure you that I am perfectly capable of handling myself, thank you very much.”
“Oh, yeah? Is that why you’re here?”
Caitlyn slightly perked one of her eyebrows. The look on her face made Vi immediately feel incredibly stupid and childish.
“No. I am here to smoke a cigarette. In peace. Why are you here?”

Summary
After ten years in Stillwater for a crime she didn't commit, Vi breaks herself out and goes home. Her homecoming doesn't go like she thought it would.
Two years later, she's out of control and out on the streets. She's now a champion pitfighter, a raging alcoholic, and completely on her own. Despite her family's best (and desperate) efforts to help, Vi's on a one-way track to ending up either dead or back in prison.
At the same time, Caitlyn arrives in the undercity to collect data and information for her thesis. She starts her research from a local bar called The Last Drop, which puts her right into Vi's path. Vi might have been out of her family's home for years, but she's still not going to let a topsider put them in danger.
Canon divergence (everyone lives!), enemies to lovers (barely, the lovers aspect happens fast), angst, trauma, addiction, and also fluff and humour (because these things can co-exist!)

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
There are ways to break the bond. Horrible ways. Deep in the depths of Zaun they’ve figured some out. Gruesome is the only word he can use to describe the rumors he’s heard. And yet it has a horrible symmetry with what happened to Caitlyn and Violet as children. One Soulmate strains the bond too much. Takes too much. Or—worse—they push too much on their Soulmate. Either way the bond is broken. If one breaks it, their mind goes.
Rumors In Zaun say if you break the bond willingly you will never receive another.
Set in somewillwin's soulmate AU, Vi is taken. Her Bond with Caitlyn is put to the ultimate test.
