“A-are you real?”
The Caitlyn in her mind raises an unimpressed brow. Vi’s feet stumble, half dragging across broken cement. Graffiti still paints the cracked pillars.
“Of course I’m real,” she says finally.
So I’m screaming crying throwing up over the art I commissioned from
@PeachesPlace
She took this scene from my fic and brought it to life even more beautifully than I could have imagined it. 💕 (link for chapter and fic in the comments❤️)

Imagine this is the reunion we get after Vi’s lived in nothing but an alcohol induced, violent state and she finally gets to just /rest/ in the arms of the only person who’s made her feel safe

“Are you… are you really here?”
Caitlyn squeezes her hand then, moving Vi’s arm further out of the tub to place Vi’s palm on her chest. A rhythm beats under her skin, the water dripping down, soaking Caitlyn’s shirt.
“Do you feel me?”

What if the
#caitvi
sex scene is in the shower? And the water washes blood off their battle-worn bodies, mixing together on the untarnished tile? What then?
Anyways this is how I’m coping w the trailer release tomorrow (yes that’s

art as inspo for my very sensual intimate scene) 👄💕✂️

You can’t convince me that her blood trickling into the water isn’t meant to directly challenge the “oil and water” analogy. That in reality, Caitlyn knows that her and Vi are blood and water, illustrated in every blood-soaked interaction they had together
#caitvi
And when Vi blinks her eyes open seconds, minutes, hours later, the ghost haunting her limbs and lips is gone. Only a black and bloody, wet rag sits next to her, soaking into the floorboards.
(NOT BASED ON A LEAK) And what if they make a parallel of Jinx’s tea party but this time its Ambessa telling Caitlyn to kill Vi but she can't—

“Did you– did you dream of me, Cupcake? Like I dreamt of you?”
“No,” Caitlyn says quickly, kissing the shell of her ear. “I thought of you.”

The way my brain goes in two directions when I see riot post
#caitvi
EITHER it’s a confirmation that they’re endgame in
#arcane
or they’re doing all of this bc they’re not endgame in the show and I have too much anxiety help
The dream lasts longer than normal. But Vi keeps stumbling, making her way to the hole in the wall she calls home. A sick joke.
Vi’s apartment is as she left it. A mattress, stained and without sheets, sits on the floor in the corner. Bottles line the only windowsill.
—arrest me?” Vi slurs. Her face itches, the black smudges feel ingrained into her skin, deeper than any ink.
Footsteps, tentative but firm fill Vi’s ears. The thin mattress dips. Fingers grip her chin, the soft leather gloves force her eyes to blink open.
She lets her knuckle drag down down down. Stopping at this Caitlyn’s jaw.
“Will you kiss me this time?” Vi asks. What’s there to be afraid of? This isn’t real.
Caitlyn frowns. Interesting. She thought maybe this dream would be different.
“This isn’t you, Vi,” Caitlyn whispers.
Vi takes her in. This version of her. Angled cheekbones and soft hands. Her face just as disappointed as it normally is. But there’s something else there. The booze must’ve been stronger than normal.
her voice comes out hoarse, her vocal cords raw and underused. Caitlyn’s figment just huffs, vertical lines creased between her brows. Like they’ve become permanent fixtures.
She lifts a blood-stained hand. Knuckles raw and cracked, shocked to meet something soft and firm.
But when flops on the mattress, she lets herself enjoy the image just a little longer. Unsure of when she’ll suddenly disappear.
“What happened to you?”
Her voice isn’t normally this clear. In fact, she normally never hears her at all.
“You miss me, Cupcake? You hear t-to—
Her bathroom, if one could call it that, consists of nothing more than a tub. A shattered mirror. From her fist or the one before her. She doesn’t know.
She expects Caitlyn to be gone by now. She doesn’t normally last this long. Doesn’t come this far.
“Why’re you looking at me like that?” Fingers are back to gripping her chin. A thumb stroking a cheekbone. She knows this isn’t anyone else then. No one else gets to touch her like this.
“You don’t normally last this long—
Vi nearly keens when the figment moves, disappearing from her sight. Only to return moments later, something cold and wet scrubs along her eyes.
She truly expects her to be gone by now. For her own hands to replace Caitlyn’s. Or maybe Vander’s. But all she’s met with is blue.
CAITLYN’S ARC IN SEASON 2 TOLD THROUGH SONGS:

"She lifts a blood-stained hand. Knuckles split and cracked, startle when they meet warm skin. Real skin. She lets her finger drag down, brushing lips and finding a home on her jaw.
“Will you kiss me this time?” Vi asks. What’s there to lose now?"

Tbh I feel like Silco is a narcissist and the only reason he even took Jinx in was when he could see her as an extension of himself. And I think like a typical groomer, he only loved her while she represented him which is why he was so adamant on killing “powder”
@izzeIikesunday
has once again blown me away with her gorgeous style and I’m so thankful she said yes to this! I feel so fed and grateful 😭💕
