    Summary

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    OR

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

    Summary

    Jinx lifts her face up, water dripping down her face, droplets falling from her chin, pooling around her feet on the bathroom floor. She opens her eyes and meets a pair of familiar ones in the mirror. Or, at least they used to be familiar. Nowadays she cannot exactly recognize herself. The person she used to be is long gone. Even her eyes can tell that.

    She studies her face in the bathroom mirror. The greenish light makes everything seem even more wrong and uglier. Her hair is the wrong color - and now she notices how her braids have come a little undone - and the dark circles underneath her eyes have never looked worse. She looks like she’s dead. Maybe she is.

    ---

    When the night ends in tears in the club's bathroom, Jinx decides it's time for her to hit the road. As she leaves the club she bumps into Caitlyn, who spills her drink all over Jinx.

    Summary

    Vi looks at the big clock on the far wall. 7:46AM. She’s one minute late today. Every morning for the past six months - well, every morning Vi’s been on shift, so she’s just assuming about the other days - she’s passed by at exactly 7:45AM, always at a brisk walk, always in a perfectly-tailored suit, not a single long, silky-looking hair out of place.

    7:47AM. The crisp clack of heeled boots on concrete pulls Vi out of her musings. There must have been some sort of emergency, because the subject of Vi’s (minor) obsession walks past the fire station at a faster clip than normal. Which is sort of saying something, because Mystery Woman’s got legs for days, long and slender, visibly toned with long, lean muscle through her suit pants. At the faster clip, Vi has less time to admire her ass and tiny, tiny waist as she walks by, but that’s fine, because the view as she leaves is fantastic.

    OR

    Caitlyn's route to work as a detective at the 51st Precinct takes her right by Fire Station #516, and Vi's been pining after the gorgeous Mystery Woman for six months...what will happen when she finds out that Caitlyn's a cop (AKA: The Enemy)?

    Summary

    “You must be Isha,” Caitlyn says kindly to the child, then addresses the mother. If Caitlyn notices the way Jinx’s eyes rove over her form, she doesn’t make any outward indication of it. “And you’re… Jinx, correct?”

    “Uh…,” Jinx begins dumbly before mentally slapping herself. She can’t be gawking at her daughter’s ASL interpreter, even if the woman is stunning. That would be weird and unprofessional.

    So, she dutifully clamps her jaw shut and plasters a lopsided smile onto her face. “That’s me. Jinx Lanes,” Jinx greets Caitlyn with a forced casualness and sticks out her hand for a handshake. “It’s nice to meet you in person.”

    Summary

    The moment Caitlyn sees the Royal Stablemaster’s daughter vault off a horse, she knows she’s doomed. She watches as the dust cloud clears, stunned at the way that pink hair bobs in laughter, at the way the other girl runs off, away from her father.

    “Vi, when I catch you!”

    Grey eyes catch the sunlight just right. Caitlyn stares unabashedly at a broad grin, at arms akimbo, at a tongue stuck out.

    “Catch me if you can!”

    Doomed, with a capital D. 

    Prince Caitlyn falls for the Stablemaster's daughter.
