The fall semester brings familiar pressure, the weight of expectations, and a loneliness she can't seem to shake. Recovery isn't a straight line, and Caitlyn's still caught somewhere between surviving and giving up.
Then she meets Vi.
Loud, bright, and a little rough around the edges, Vi's everything Caitlyn isn't. She's fyought her own demons and clawed her way to the light-and now she's determined to help Caitlyn find her way back too. A chance meeting outside a lecture hall turns into something neither of them expected.
But healing is messy. And love, no matter how fierce, might not be enough to fix everything.
A college AU exploring mental health, found connection, and learning to live even when it hurts.

Gravity Between Us
A Caitvi fanfiction. Vi Lane walks the halls like she owns them - leather jacket, a cool grin, and a reputation stitched together from half-truths and locker room whispers. She's the star of the volleyball team, all power serves and impossible saves, making it look easy. Everyone wants her, but no one's ever had her. Not really. Not since that girl from her past - the one no one here knows about, and Vi refuses to remember out loud. Caitlyn Kiramman, on the other hand, is the total opposite: top of her class, strict schedule, violin recitals, and parents who treat affection like a business transaction. She's never dated, never rebelled, never let anyone close enough to see the cracks beneath the calm. Not because she doesn't want to. Because she doesn't know how. They're not supposed to collide. But something shifts when Vi starts noticing the way Caitlyn never looks at her, and the way Caitlyn always, always hears her anyway.Complete

Lavender Haze (CaitVi)
Vi took a step closer, voice teasing. "Why does it bother you, hmm?" Caitlyn hated how her heart sped up. She looked away, grumbling, "Because... because you're supposed to be loyal to me." Vi's smirk faltered slightly. Caitlyn crossed her arms tighter. "I mean-not that we ever had anything. But still! You-You can't just..." She trailed off, biting her lip. Vi studied her for a long moment. "Caitlyn." Caitlyn refused to meet her gaze. Vi sighed, softer now. "I'm single, okay?" Caitlyn swallowed. Vi hesitated before continuing. "But yeah, I... I do love someone." Caitlyn hiccupped, rubbing at her eyes furiously. Vi reached for her, concerned. "Caitlyn, why are you-" "I knew it!" Caitlyn blurted, voice wobbling. Vi blinked. "Knew what?" Caitlyn sniffled. "You do love someone! And-and now I have to compete with them?" Vi opened her mouth-then shut it, utterly baffled. "I-what?" Caitlyn grabbed Vi's hands. "Just-just love me instead!" ---- Caitlyn Kiramman has everything-fame, fortune, and a career that keeps the world watching. But with the spotlight comes danger, and when a series of anonymous threats escalate, her security team hires Violet, a former underground fighter with a no-nonsense attitude and a past she refuses to talk about.

When Caitlyn is put in real danger, Violet will have to face the truth: guarding Caitlyn was never just a job. But in a world where Caitlyn shines brightest under flashing cameras and Violet prefers the shadows, can they find a way to stand together?Complete
