    Summary

    “About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”

    “Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”

    “Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”

    “Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”

    Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.

    Summary

    It all started with a cupcake.

    Years later, Caitlyn would say that visiting the cafe that fateful day to treat herself was the best decision she would make in her life.

    Vi would tease that only Caitlyn would consider getting robbed to be the best thing to ever happen to her.

    OR

    Alternative meet-cute of teenage Vi and Caitlyn with sprinkles of pining, a dash or two of angst, and extra adorably awkward seventeen-year-olds falling in love.

    Summary

    ”I’ve met a lot of D&D players, all sorts of them. Including a lot who bail after a session or two.”

    “And you don’t think I’m gonna be one of them?”

    ”No, I don’t. You don’t have to be good at math for this game, Vi. You just have to love your character enough to keep them alive, to follow them through their story.”


    When Vi still doesn’t have friends or a hobby six months after getting out of prison, she’s roped into joining her sister’s D&D campaign run by dungeon master Caitlyn Kiramman.

    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.
