Summary
Caitlyn allowed herself to indulge in the sight of her. Taking in every detail, no matter how small. The messy, uneven growth of the short side of her hair. The slowly healing cut slicing its way through the tattoo on her cheek. Dark circles under wide eyes, affectionate and present, yet with a lingering sadness that made Caitlyn’s heart ache for her.
“How are you doing?” Caitlyn asked quietly.
The answer to her question was a slow, measured exhale. Silence, presumably while Vi debated how truthful of an answer to give. Her brows knit together in a frown while her eyes never left Caitlyn’s.
“You can be honest with me,” Caitlyn added, reaching across the narrow space between them to rest her hand on Vi’s forearm, stroking her thumb lightly across her skin. “If you’d like to.”***
When the smoke clears, Caitlyn and Vi do their best to navigate the way their lives have changed in the aftermath. The good and the bad. The weight of old wounds and the fresh sting of new ones. But Caitlyn makes a discovery that gives them an unexpected hope. And they find that, together, this new life might just be something they can both get used to.

Summary
Of all the sparkling opulence Piltover had to offer, none of it even remotely compared to the one simple luxury Vi loved the most: waking up with long blue hair caught between her lips, drowsy fingers wandering up to accidentally poke her in the eyelid, dull toenails jabbing into her calf while hot puffs of stale morning breath swept up into her nostrils from just beneath her chin.
Caitlyn, curled into her so comfortably Vi could hardly believe she’d ever been able to sleep without her.
***
In this sequel to Something to Get Used To, Vi and Caitlyn continue to settle into the life they have chosen to build together as they work in pursuit of a better future for the cities they have both come to love. Jinx's presence poses new challenges, and the path to happiness is never an easy one, but they are determined to walk it together.
After all...Violet Kiramman really does have a nice ring to it.

Summary
If Nemesis was anything, she would never be soft. She could not accept too much of a good thing, such was her nature. But two mismatched eyes and an attitude she couldn’t resist may change that.
