    Summary

    “So I’m to be bait,” Akechi says flatly. “You’re serving me up.”

    Ren can feel the grin on his face, and he can’t stop it. “I gotta open the store tomorrow, I only serve coffee.”

    “Absolutely idiotic. Why would I agree to that?"

    Ren shrugs one shoulder and leans back against the movie theater wall, smiling. He’s feeling light on his feet right now. It’s been a bad day, but the end is nice. “Call it penance.”

    “Penance for what,” Akechi says.

    His smile stays where it is as he glances away for a moment, then meets Akechi’s eyes again. “Being yourself.”

    Summer vacation back in Tokyo was supposed to be two things: an exciting break from the mundanity of home, and a chance to see people he's missed so much it hurts. If he survives, Ren has good news for himself on both.

    Summary

    “Hey,” Vi says, running a thumb soothingly along Caitlyn’s pulse, and though Caitlyn doesn’t break her focus, the tension she holds in her jaw relaxes. “I happen to have firsthand experience on how good you are with your hands, Cupcake.” There’s a husk across her tone that she doesn’t really mean to let out, but— well, that’s a lie. That’s exactly what she’s going for. “You can handle a little haircut.”

    Caitlyn shudders as the words meet the air. Vi tries not to smirk in satisfaction.

    “You can’t say such things while I’m holding a pair of shears so close to your neck,” Caitlyn says lowly, voice dripping down like molasses. “It’s dangerous.” Her chiding whispers dance across Vi’s cheekbone, the blunt side of the blade making contact with Vi’s skin, and— oh. Vi’s definitely the one shuddering now.

    Vi chuckles to hide the shiver curling up her spine. “I really affect you that much?”

    Caitlyn hums, dragging her fingers through Vi’s damp bangs to measure their length. “Coy isn’t a good look on you.”

     

    or

     

    vi finds small ways to navigate grief. caitlyn, of course, is there every step of the way.

    Summary

    “Say it again,” Vi all but begs. Her fingers dig into Caitlyn’s wrist and hip where she holds her close like she’ll float away in the ripples the wind makes in the grass, like the tide, like she isn’t Caitlyn’s anchor. Like she isn’t the only thing keeping Caitlyn afloat.

    “Qīn’ài de. Oh, qīn’ài de. My dearest.”

    Vi kisses her under the sunshine, the first time she’s felt it in years, and Caitlyn kisses back. Wind rustles through the trees, birds are singing, Caitlyn’s mom is dead, and she kisses Vi in the backyard she grew up in like she’s wanted to from the moment those bars between them slid open and Inmate 516 had a name again, a future again.

    “Again,” Vi breathes. Their noses brush.

    Caitlyn says it into her mouth as if Vi swallowing will keep it in her forever. “Qīn’ài de.”

    (Or, it’s not just language. There's knowing and then there's understanding.)

    Summary

    Caitlyn watches the Noxian ships leave the harbor, stands there at the edge, the wind whipping her hair about, the chill sharp in the early morning sun.

    She watches words she wishes she could have said fizzle into the salty air, watches the tiniest specks of red disappear into the horizon, flecks of blood trapped beneath her nails that she’ll never wash out.

    There’s a tug to her hand.

    She turns, and there Vi is.

    There Vi is, warm and open and loving like she doesn’t care, like it’s alright, like there’s nothing wrong.

    It’s too much.

    who are we, in the silence after the storm? a post-canon exploration.
