    Summary

    While she has been teaching Vi the Gmaj7 chord, she has been contemplating how her breath tastes. How shocked and wide her eyes would go if Caitlyn laid just the softest touch on her jaw. What her gasp would sound like if Caitlyn whispered against her earlobe. How those rock hard shoulders would drop defenselessly –

    “I can manage,” she says instead.

     

    Vi is a solo music artist who is having a hard time getting traction. Caitlyn’s successful band is on the verge of breaking out of their local music scene. When Caitlyn’s band needs a new guitarist and Vi auditions, they both get more than they bargained for.

    OR

    Sad indie guitar boy Vi aches to fall in love. Slutty femme top art rock phenom Caitlyn Womanizer Kiramman has promised her band she won't sleep with her new guitarist. But she's not sure how long she can hold out.

    Summary

    “Now that everything’s out in the open,” Vi started again, her voice heavy, heady, husky, “the question is: what are you gonna do about it?”

    Caitlyn worked her jaw, looking like she was stumped on a bar exam question. “What are you going to do about it?”

    Vi chuckled. “Attorneys and their fucking questions.”

    OR
    Caitlyn and Vi work at a law firm together, and Vi keeps purposely spelling Caitlyn’s name wrong in their email exchanges. Caitlyn is not amused, until she is.

    OR
    A fic in which Vi calls Caitlyn: “Corncob Kiramman” at least once.

    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.”

    Summary

    Vi is the head barista and part-time manager of The Last Drop, a coffee shop and café in Piltover. Caitlyn is a coffee-loving PhD student at the nearby university who spends every weekday working from her favorite table at The Last Drop. Despite an obvious attraction, the two women are immediately at odds with each other the moment their paths cross. Over time, they'll navigate past their differences and form a unique arrangement.

    This is an enemies to friends with benefits to lovers arc set in a modern coffee shop/café AU. I am writing it specifically at the request of my wife, who has a thing for barista-centric fanfics and loves Caitlyn/Vi. Chapter titles are quotes from Arcane.

    B, I love you so much. This is first-and-foremost for you.
