    Summary

    “How did you know? That you… That you wanted to go on hormones.”

    Lest blows out a lungful of sweet-smelling smoke. “What makes you think I have?”

    Oh, nice one, Vi.

    “Sorry,” Lest says then. "Your face is all cute when you think you’ve screwed up. Think I got to a point where I couldn’t handle all the wondering anymore, I suppose. That I had to try.”

    “Try?”

    “To feel better."

    ----------

    After a difficult run-in with an assclown ruins his date night with Cait, Vi's growing confidence in his identity is thrown off-kilter. The world is loaded with reasons to not bother being who he really is, and plenty of people who'd rather he wouldn't. Cait tries to help, but Vi struggles to let her. His floundering leads him to a surprising conversation, and an important realisation. And also, happiness.

    Summary

    “Listen,” Caitlyn says, and she feels possessed, deranged, “I want to let you know a couple of things. I’m quite taken with you. And I’m in an open relationship.”

    Vi’s expression is clouded with lust and something more ambiguous, but her hand remains, thank god. “I don’t fuck women with girlfriends. I don’t like that they have girlfriends and the girlfriends don’t like me.”

    “You sound very knowledgeable about the situation. It sounds like you do, in fact, fuck women with girlfriends.”

    “This is a new rule. It’s one I haven’t had to enforce yet.”

    Caitlyn doesn’t know what to do with her hands. She is in pain and she looks it. She wants to give Vi the chance to do what she thinks is right. But oh, she wants Vi. She’s breathing very heavily when she asks, quietly, “Do you really plan to start now?”

     

    ***

    Caitlyn and Maddie open their relationship. It goes the way you would expect.

    Reporter Caitlyn has never been expertly fucked before. When she meets boxer Vi on assignment, she discovers she’ll throw her entire life away to find out what it’s like.

    Summary

    Dr. Kiramman steers her through the chaos and plants her in a chair. Does something to her arm that hurts like fuck, then drapes her in bags of ice and wraps her in a sling. Blinds her with a pen light—“Called it,” she mumbles when he confirms she’s concussed—and presses two pills and a warm mug into her hand. It smells herbaceous. Familiar.

    “I brought the good stuff from home,” Dr. Kiramman confesses, and it takes her a moment to understand he means tea. “Extra honey for you. I know you haven’t acquired the taste.”

    He’s right in that she only actually drank it once, the first time it was offered—the afternoon they spoke to the Council, several lifetimes ago. But she tasted it just this morning in Caitlyn’s mouth, grassy and sweet. So she pops the pills and takes a sip. Tries not to think about whether that terrified kiss over breakfast was their last. “I want to see her.”

     

    After the war, Vi and Cait recover, and rebuild.

    Summary

    “Violet?”

    Vi pauses. “Yeah, sweetheart?”

    Caitlyn lowers her face even more, almost burying it into the cushion, wishing she could disappear and yet aching to be seen. Her voice is hushed, timid. “Could I… have your belt?”
