    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

    “I thought we could talk,” she says. “Like I said in my letter.”

    “We don’t have anything to talk about.”

    Kiramman makes a sound that’s almost a chuckle.

    “Sevika. We both know that isn’t true.”

    ////

    Caitlyn Kiramman offers her seat on the council to Sevika. She thinks it'll help. Sevika fucking doesn't, and goes to tell her as much. The battered girl she finds holed up in a corner of the mansion surprises her. So does their conversation.

    Summary

    “I didn’t come here to discuss my...comfort,” Tobias said at last, his tone softer but no less firm.
    “I came here to understand.”

    Vi frowned, her brow furrowing. “Understand what?”

    He straightened slightly in his chair, the movement slow but deliberate.

    “Why my daughter chose you.”

    OR

    Vi and Caitlyn’s father have a conversation.

    Summary

    "But - and it's the same sort of feeling that I had with Laudna the first time I met her.

    It was there, she was there, but she was almost like a different, a different pitch than everybody else.

    It was musical, it wasn't painful like everybody else."

    After a passing glimpse, Imogen seeks out the first mind that doesn't hurt, and discovers how far she'd go to keep that peace.
