    Summary

    When she and her sister were renaming the The Last Drop, they were six beers in.
    It felt far more pretentious than she originally wanted, but something about it stuck. When all her life she's felt torn in every direction except the one she actually wanted, this little name made Vi feel warm. And important, like her dreams could mean something.

    La Descente Délicate.

    The Delicate Drop. Or some version of that. Comes from an old root of Demacian that found a Zaun tongue along the way. "It's like your name," Jinx had said. Vi could only laugh, the edge of tipsy making her a little more confused.

    "What?"

    "Well ya know! Like how Violet sounds all soft but really you're… well, you're a secret softy–"

    "Hey, hey, what the fuck?"

    The rest of the bar howled with laughter and Vi could do nothing but groan and down another beer.

    "No, but I'm serious. People will think it's some rich topside snail shit all dainty but then–BAM!—it's a firehouse."
    Delicate like a bomb, they decided.
    And it's all Vi can think about when she looks at Caitlyn now.

    Summary

    "What?" Caitlyn asked, cock impossibly hard in her pants, indignation and concern souring her stomach to the point of pain. If Vi hadn't called her for her heat, what could she possibly want? She shifted, uncomfortable, and Vi looked at her with something she couldn't quite pinpoint - a mix of anger, need, desire and-

    Her breath catching in her throat, her heart racing. She could see Vi's pulse point all the way across the room. Her hands clawed the wall, pushing flakes of paint to the floor. Her scent was sickening, all wrong, and Caitlyn had to make it better, because this was not right, because her omega was right in front of her shaking enough to slide the meat off her bones-

    It dawned on her, then. Vi wasn't crawling out of her body with desire and heat. Vi was terrified.

    Summary

    On the nights she doesn’t have vivid nightmares, dreams taunting her very mind- She dreams, peacefully, of leaving. Of her mom coming, rising from the hall they pulled her down as she sobbed- (A nicer guard, she thinks, held her away and comforted her. She’d never seen him again.) and telling her it was all a cruel, sick, joke. That her father; who she was only told is out there, and he’s twisted and sick, walks up and kneels down. That she gets hugged, as tight as possible, and taken outside.

    OR

    Vi is born in Stillwater. Angst.

    “– Hold on, Mel.” Caitlyn’s features wrinkled. Did she hear that correctly? Probably not, she thought.

    “I’m sorry,” she let out a laugh, disbelieving. “I thought you said ‘lesbian age-gap romance.’ Pardon me, please continue.”

    “No, no…” It was hard to make out Mel’s voice, but Caitlyn was sure it sounded amused. “You heard me correctly.”

    “What?” Caitlyn nearly stopped the car then.
