"I'm the dirt under your nails, Cupcake."
She leaned in, resting her head against Caitlyn's shoulder.
"Nothing's gonna clean me out."
And yet-
A pulse.
Deep in her mind, like a second heartbeat, like something buried clawing its way back to the surface.
Vi tensed.
A flicker, faint and distant, slipping through the cracks of her consciousness.
A woman.
Long black hair, spilling over her shoulders like ink. Vi couldn't see her eyes, only the curve of her lips-chapped but plump, moving in a slow, soft whisper.
"I've always had you, Violet. I'm not going anywhere without you. I'm with you, every step of the way."

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. Violet is everything Caitlyn isn't-rough, unpredictable, and infuriatingly stubborn. From their first meeting, sparks fly, but not the good kind. Caitlyn finds her bodyguard impossible, while Violet sees Caitlyn as just another spoiled celebrity. But as danger looms closer, forced proximity turns tension into something neither of them expected-lingering touches, stolen glances, and a protectiveness that goes beyond duty. 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
How Light Learns to Hide
Vi saw her and knew. Caitlyn saw Vi...and everything got complicated. One grew up in the South Side, where dreams don't survive. The other was raised in luxury, where perfection was a cage. They stand together for years, caught in the gravity of what's never said. But something has been waiting in the dark - and it's finally reaching for them. Will they ever name the light they've always kept hidden? "Vi swallowed thickly, her heartbeat pounding so loud in her temples it drowned out everything else. It felt like it was pumping molten gold; dense, burning, and unbearably precious. She was a paradox made flesh. A hurricane of stillness. Chaos flooding in perfect harmony. How could something so dizzying, so immense, feel so soothing? How could the tight knot in her throat be the only thing keeping her grounded? Nothing seemed to exist but the sheer need to answer those damn questions. Two forces crammed into a space too tight not to clash."Complete

Love Her For Both of Us // CaitVi // Arcane // wlw
Vi wasn't looking for anything. Her late night café shifts were quiet and predictable. The same faces. The same city lights. Then Evelyn started showing up. She never said much. Never touched her coffee. Always stared at the skyline like it meant something only she could see. Vi tried not to notice, but Evelyn lingered in her thoughts. She was calm, distant, but not cold. Familiar in a way that didn't make sense. Vi told herself it didn't matter. But she found herself waiting for the quiet footsteps at closing time. For the silence between them. For the questions she wasn't ready to ask. She didn't know it yet, but Evelyn was only the beginning. There was someone else waiting. Someone she could be with. Someone who could love her back.
