    Summary

    Caitlyn observes from the wall as Vi runs the routine, then comes over. She touches Vi’s lower back. Pushes, gently, guiding Vi through a rotation of her hips. Vi’s lower half lights up like a fork in a socket.

    “It comes from here,” Caitlyn says. “Not so much the legs. Try it.”

    Vi misses Caitlyn’s hand when she steps away. She follows the phantom push until she’s completed the sequence.

    Tilting her head, Caitlyn says, “Better, but you’re stiff. Do you feel sexy?”

    Vi’s been surrounded by gorgeous women every day, women with bouncier hair, longer legs, more graceful relevés. And instead of admiring them, she’s competing with them. So, no. Vi does not feel sexy.

    Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders AU. Vi's trying out for the most elite cheer team in the country, but even a lifetime of dance couldn't prepare her for what she finds in Dallas: fierce competition, unrealistic beauty standards, and an unfortunate crush on cheer captain Caitlyn.

    “Understand what?”

    Summary

    Between bites of dinner at the scarred kitchen table that was once both of theirs, Vi had told Caitlyn there was no sign anywhere of her lost sister anymore, not even the vague tales of explosions and burnt-out buildings that had once kept Vi’s search alive.

    While Caitlyn would never allow herself to hope for someone else’s death – and certainly not Vi’s sister, who has become Caitlyn's family too – she does dare to wish that maybe Vi would stay a while longer. Just this once.

    ---

    OR once a year for the last four years, Vi has come home from her search for her sister to a waiting Caitlyn. The absence and the distance has taken its toll, but some memories will always remain...as will some longings.
