    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.

    OR: Vi is the head chef and owner of her late father's restaurant and Caitlyn is hired as their live musician

    Summary

    Vi scoffed and stomped forward, the gravel crunching beneath her feet as she approached Caitlyn, who looked up at her with an empty, disinterested expression.

    She stopped right in front of her, chest puffed out, voice dripping with venom.

    “Good lord, Kiramman, maybe pace yourself for once. What’s the plan? Smoke yourself into an early grave so we don’t have to deal with you anymore?”

    Caitlyn’s head jerked slightly, her features a cool mask of indifference.

    “Though I am flattered by your concern," she said icily, taking a slow, deliberate drag from her cigarette, “I assure you that I am perfectly capable of handling myself, thank you very much.”

    “Oh, yeah? Is that why you’re here?”

    Caitlyn slightly perked one of her eyebrows. The look on her face made Vi immediately feel incredibly stupid and childish.

    “No. I am here to smoke a cigarette. In peace. Why are you here?”

    Summary

    “So that’s why I bring Violet Wickett up,” says the first, feminine voice, “because there’s two things that have defined Vi her entire career. How hard she plays as a forward, especially on defence, and her rivalry with Caitlyn Kiramman.”

    “See, if I’m Mel Medarda, I’m not even giving Wickett another glance. I’m taking Kiramman with my first pick and grabbing from the end of the Ironfist’s bench.”

    “That’s what makes this so delicious, though, Jack. Mel Medarda can get both of them.”

    --

    Hockey AU. The RHL is expanding, and both Caitlyn and Vi are up for grabs, their rivalry being a well documented storyline in the RHL for twelve years. What happens, however, when they're both taken to a new team? What happens when a relationship forged in belief of only seeing each other once in a while on road games is faced with playing beside each other every day?

    Summary

    “When did you start smoking?” Caitlyn asks, brushing the stray crumbs away from her lips. Vi’s not sure if she realizes that she’s leaning further and further into her space.

    Her sapphire iris is being completely swallowed up by her pupils, the area around it reddening. She’s a little flushed and her lips look incredibly soft.

    “A while after I stopped drinking.”

    Caitlyn hums, but she doesn’t lean back satisfied. She keeps staring, her head tilted slightly at Vi as she wipes her mouth a few more times. So proper.

    Vi holds the eye contact. Not because she wants to, but because that just seems to be what happens.

    “Do you have family around here?”

    The question takes a minute to compute since Vi’s a little distracted by the strength of Caitlyn’s nose.

    “Something like that.”

    Vi should be annoyed. She is, actually.

    Her smoke sessions are supposed to be chill, relaxing and quiet. Not lonely, alone. Now Caitlyn’s asking questions she doesn’t really need answers to.

    And she’s leaning into Vi’s space like she wants to be there.

    “You’re so interesting, Vi.”

    Not hot. Not cool. Not sexy.

    Interesting.
