Summary
“Vi,” Powder says, brows furrowed intensely above her wide eyes. “Do you ever think you might be… gay?”
Vi snorts out a laugh. “What, because I have short hair and like to work out? Way to stereotype.”
Vi can’t seem to find much luck with dating, all the men she stumbles around with just never work out. Her meddling sister finally decides to take matters into her own hands and pushes Vi into a blind date that she’s positive will work - with her coworker’s very attractive, very gay lady friend.Series

The Century War by orphan_account

Summary
Piltover-Zaun is locked in a brutal, century-long war with Noxus. Out of "necessity", the first-born of every family, man or woman, is drafted into the front lines at the age of 23. But of course, the upperclassmen have the option to send staff in the place of their children. The clock is ticking as Caitlyn’s 23rd birthday approaches. Vi (age 22), the Zaunite Head of Security for the Kiramman estate and Caitlyn’s long-term best friend, approaches Cassandra Kiramman with the proposal that she go in Caitlyn’s place. Both women are united in their fear for Caitlyn’s safety, so Cassandra agrees. As it happens, both Caitlyn and Vi are each secretly in love with the other. When Caitlyn wakes up early on her 23rd birthday to find Vi already on her way out the door, she isn’t happy about this at all and tries to convince Vi to stay. Vi explains she can’t just let Caitlyn go in her place and that the paperwork had already been drafted in her name. She promises Cait she’ll return home. Cait is angry and sad, but can’t do anything to stop Vi from going, so she counts the hours, the minutes, that Vi’s gone, and as she lays awake in her bed, worrying, she feels like she can’t breathe. Not without knowing Vi is safe.

Summary
Vi went back to what she was preparing, “So is this your first piercing? I don’t think I’ve pierced you before.”
“Yes, this will be my first.” Caitlyn fidgeted with her fingers as she spoke, her voice almost a whisper as she admitted, “I’m a little nervous to be honest.”
Vi whistled lowly at that. “You’re getting your nipples done for your first piercing? That’s brave.”

Summary
"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. If all you’d wanted was a fuck buddy, Caitlyn, I wish you'd have left me alone."
What?
"And I get it, I do! You're not the first, you won't be the last! I know what women think when they look at me, I know what they really want or expect of me. You were different, though. You took your time, you made me care about you, about being with you. You made me think it actually meant something."
Vi suddenly holds her breath, her eyes wide and terrified. Caitlyn's own frown has vanished just as swiftly, her confusion turning into cautious wonder. Time stops, the room fills with sounds of heavy breathing, hearts wildly beating, and quiet realisation. Vi hadn't meant to give so much away.
––
Or : After a serious injury that abruptly marks the end of her biathlete career, Caitlyn crosses the Atlantic to become a PE teacher in the school where her childhood best friend Jayce teaches. There she meets Vi, a charming but lonely English teacher who has yet to figure out how to let anyone in.
Inspired by the track "Hey Stephen" by Taylor Swift.

Die For You by Whimzette

Summary
The woman from the club—the one she’s fantasized about for over a month—stands before Caitlyn, panting and bent over, clutching to her side in obvious agony. Sweat beads at her temple and drips down her angular cheek, where strands of pink stick to her skin. It’s chilly outside, and yet she’s feverish, more than likely from the stab wound and other knicks she might have obtained from the battle laid waste behind them.
They’re silent, staring at each other, as Caitlyn watches. Can’t find it within her to speak, even if the pressure against her throat is quite tight. She just stares, feeling something ache within her at the visceral mistrust and anger that dances within those steel depths.
“Small world,” She hears the woman say. Her voice is raspy, deep despite her smaller height, and there’s a challenge within them, like she thinks Caitlyn is going to try and fight her, “Seeing you here, cupcake.”
