Every Small Disaster by ContrivedChaos

Summary
Caitlyn gruffs, “Do you really want me going back? After all that’s happened?” Even from her upside down vantage point, Vi can see the tapestry of worry illustrated on Caitlyn’s features. “Is that…okay with you?”
Vi gives it some honest consideration, for Caitlyn’s sake. Yes, she acknowledges it’s more than a little fucking weird (ironic) she’s dating a former Enforcer.
But promoting Caitlyn to Sheriff is the least the Council can do.
Maybe that paradox is a bizarre but fitting end to this insane origin story of theirs.
——
Or: Caitlyn Kiramman weighs the offer of a promotion, and has sex with her girlfriend about it.

Summary
They are a whirlwind. Every time feels almost like a new first, even though they’ve done this dozens of times before. The raw, disorienting experience of knowing Vi intimately never fails to shock Caitlyn out of sanity and into a place of messy, confusing euphoria. They crash against each other like a wave over a rocky shore. Sometimes it hurts. But it’s also beautiful, an unstoppable, incredible, and inevitable force of nature.
When the unspoken feelings and tension boil over, they ride the emotional highs and lows like a swing. But Piltover will never be enough for Caitlyn, and Vi is much too good for Piltover. It will never deserve the gorgeous, rough-around-the-edges woman currently holding its sheriff down to the table by force.
——Or: They fight, they break up, then kiss and make up.

Summary
Vi is the explosion, and Caitlyn is the flint. The catalyst that sets the network of sparks alight, and also the restraint behind the ignition.
It’s not a matter of if Vi can let loose, but when. It’s not about turning Vi into something she's not, but overcoming her brash tendencies, and striking at the opportune time. It’s what Vi loves most about Caitlyn. They work well together, bringing out each’s best qualities, and Zaun and Piltover know it, too.
Unfortunately, their current situation is highly irregular, which may explain why Vi has absolutely no idea what’s eating Caitlyn’s entire ass at the moment. It also doesn’t help that her beloved partner seems determined to keep the answer from her at all costs.
--Or: Something is eating at Caitlyn, and Vi is also eating at Caitlyn.
