    Summary

    Vi rolled her eyes slightly, shrugging and still refusing to meet her sister’s gaze. “Right. So you find me a date that doesn’t know what I look like, I go out with her looking… less hot, and then if she sticks around that proves she likes me for my great personality.”

     

    With a slightly screwed up expression that meant she was about to argue back, Caitlyn sat back in her seat and crossed her arms again, giving a little shrug.

    “Fine. I’ll give it a shot. You set me up with a woman who doesn’t know who I am, and I’ll give it a fair try. See if my horrid personality doesn’t scare her away.”

     

    Believing they keep attracting shallow dates, Vi and Caitlyn separately agree to go ‘undercover’ for their next one, hiding parts of themselves. When they’re unknowingly set up with each other, they both struggle between wanting to being authentic and wanting to stubbornly prove a point, as they’re forced to rely on their personalities to make the relationship work.

    A romcom loosely inspired by ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’

    Summary

    Through cutting off distractions and engraving skin with chroma, she bled more than she cried for herself. She stayed focused on the mission while everyone else got to live their own lives. She continued when everyone else had fallen. She did it not because she wanted to but because no one else would. She picked up a weapon when she could have picked the guitar.

    She learned to be strong because there was no other option. She learned to be useful before she learned to choose for herself.

    And this is where that got her. The culmination of all of her efforts. “We succeeded where every other expedition has failed. I could never be prouder of us than I am now.”

    “And it is something to be proud of,” Sciel agrees.

    No one asked what it cost her, least of all, Lune herself.

    She smiles, but it doesn’t quite reach her eyes. “But what about after?”

    ---

    In which by the end of Act II, they defeat the Paintress and it's a happy ending. But how does one become happy after everything one has been through and sacrificed? Lune finds the answer in Sciel and a bottle of wine.

    Summary

    “Do you think Mum will be mad?”

    “I think,” Vi mused. “You're sixteen and can choose what you want to do with your own body - as long as it's not dangerous.”

    Narrowing her eyes, Cass pressed, “You didn’t answer my question.”

    Vi cast her an amused sidelong glance. “Well, if she doesn't, what can she do about it now?”

    OR

    Cass II gets her septum pierced without permission and spirals over what Caitlyn's reaction will be.
