    Summary

    “I have an idea.” The glint in her eye is dangerous. “I’m not saying that Caitlyn should do anything disloyal here, really. All I’m suggesting is that you give Vi a chance to get a little… worked up, over you.”

    “Worked up?”

    “Rile her up a little. Make her want to mark what’s hers, if you catch my drift.”

    Caitlyn feels her body going hot all over, her breath catching in her throat. Her strappy heels click together as she crosses her legs.

    “And what, exactly, do you suggest?”

    Or: five times that Caitlyn fails to make Vi jealous, and one time that she does.

    Summary

    "I mean this is ridiculous! If this is how you do business, then I think you ought-”

    “I’m sorry, I think you’ve got the wrong number,” the woman cut her off.

    Vi felt her face go so hot she was sure that it was visibly steaming in the winter air. Of course it was a fucking wrong number - just the cherry on top of an already shit morning. She struggled to conjure up some sort of apology. Instead, what came out was, “Oh. Well, thank god, because I was feeling really bad about yelling at someone who sounds so sexy.”

    As soon as the words left her mouth she wished she had a spare hand to cram them back inside. She was considering just abruptly hanging up when a breathy chuckle filtered across the line.

    “Awfully bold for someone who’s ranting about cement to a stranger at eight o’clock in the morning.”

     
    OR: Vi is a construction worker with no time for relationships... until she accidentally dials a wrong number and the stranger on the other line upends her entire life.

    Summary

    Updated Summary, 1 August, 2025

    This fic has expanded far beyond its original scope, to the point that the stranded part isn't going to actually happen until closer to Chapter 30, so here's my attempt at a more accurate summary:

    This is a story of Caitlyn and Vi on an Era of Exploration expedition ship to recover a mysterious plant from a remote island. Caitlyn is a talented but overlooked botanist, socially isolated from her peers. Vi is the ship's first mate with a bit of a chip on her shoulder, and an uncanny ability to be friendly without ever letting anyone close enough to be an actual friend.

    This is a slo(ooo)w burn love story that embraces all the in-between, boring parts of life where relationships grow, so they're going to spend several chapters each being enemies, then friends, then finally learning to be lovers. They'll spend time together, they'll get to know one another, and their relationship will grow (in a way that I hope feels as authentic to you as it does to me) before their bond is ultimately tested.

    There is an MCD, but it's not Caitlyn or Vi.

    There is smut in this fic, but this is not a smut fic.

    Also, I don't overuse the nickname "Cupcake."

    Summary

    Vi didn’t expect much from university—just keep her scholarship, punch her way through boxing practice, and avoid rich brats with perfect facecards.

    Especially Caitlyn Kiramman.

    Caitlyn is everything Vi can’t stand: privileged, polished, practically royalty on campus. She’s also infuriatingly confident, and way too attractive for Vi’s own good. And when they clash, it’s always personal.

    But when a student mysteriously disappears after a party—someone close to Jinx—their world tilts. Secrets start crawling out of dorm rooms and the list of suspects hits way too close to Caitlyn’s inner circle.

    Vi and Caitlyn should stay on opposite sides of this. They really, really should.

    But there are late-night calls they pretend not to need. Arguments that feel more like foreplay. And something sharp and vulnerable they’ve both been trying to avoid.

    Enemies? Maybe.
    Lovers? God help them.

    But first, they’ll have to survive the truth.

    💥 Enemies to lovers
    💔 University setting
    🔥 Smoldering tension (and yes, it gets spicy)
    🕵️‍♀️ Mystery, danger, and more secrets than student loans

    Summary

    “I guess that’s why you shouldn’t mix business and pleasure,” Vi says nonchalantly, trying not to sound like she’s hoping for more information.

    “Hm.” Caitlyn looks right into her eyes, with such intensity that it nearly makes Vi shiver. Her eyes are so bright, so blue, and they brazenly rake down Vi’s figure before meeting her eyes again.

    “I agree,” Caitlyn says coolly.

    Working in corporate was never Vi’s dream, but well, she had three dead parents and three younger siblings to take care of. Corporate office AU featuring senior manager Vi and Hextech division head Caitlyn.
