    Summary

    “It still doesn’t feel real,” Caitlyn said as they walked. “That the worst is over, that we’re standing on the other side.”

    A flock of starlings swept free of the cliffs, and they paused to watch them go. Caitlyn adjusted the shawl again, the same wind that kicked the surface of the water into peaks blowing the hair back from her face. Vi’s breath lodged against her ribs, like a hand over her heart.

    “Maybe there is no other side,” Vi said. “Maybe it’s all one thing.”

    *

    Caitlyn's got a house in the country, and Vi's got time.

    Summary

    She walked down the cobblestone path past the mausoleum and through the cemetery on her way to the parking lot, but stopped when she caught sight of a figure, tall and lithe, hovering near a headstone some twenty feet away, the white light from a distant lamppost gleaming bright enough to reveal what little pale skin was visible.

    The sight didn’t startle her per se, but she was vigilant; even Jericho’s haunches were raised. Vi didn’t even realize she had stopped in her tracks, staring, until the figure turned around.

    “Oh!” it said, a bit of startle in its voice. Her voice. “Sorry. Do you work here?”

    --

    Vi meets Caitlyn late one night at the cemetery she works at. What soon follows is a budding friendship over their shared love of dogs and familial grief. Perhaps they can show each other that there's more to life than guilt, that there's more to life if you go searching for it.

    Summary

    It wasn’t just Caitlyn’s movements that got to her; it was the way she moved. It felt intentional, like Caitlyn knew exactly what she was doing. Every bend, every reach, every sway of her hips seemed perfectly calculated to drive Vi insane. It was all too much, and it took every ounce of self-control Vi had not to jump up, pin Caitlyn against the wall, and make her forget all about the photographers, dinners and the living room altogether.

    “You’ve been messing with me all day,” she said, her voice rough and low, like a growl. “You think I wouldn’t notice?”

    “Oh, I noticed you noticing,” she replied, her voice soft but steady “It was kind of hard to miss, the way you were looking at me.”

    OR

    Vi wakes up needy, but Caitlyn keeps her waiting all day, teasing her at every chance. When Caitlyn finally gives in, Vi's patience snaps, and she takes control in the roughest way possible, leaving no room for restraint.

    Summary

    “Are we gonna talk about why you don’t want me to touch you?” Vi’s voice is casual, but her gray eyes shine with hurt.

    Caitlyn reaches for her, taking one of Vi’s hands in hers, running her thumb over bruised and scarred knuckles. “Of course I want you to touch me.”

    “Not when we’re having sex.”

    Caitlyn almost argues that she’d let Vi touch her the whole time, keeping several points of contact between them, enjoying Vi’s hands on her waist and in her hair. But she knows that’s not what Vi means. Her eyes drop to their hands. “Sex is… complicated for me.”

    Summary

    “This was your idea,” Caitlyn hums lowly, “Surely you can tell me what you’d like me to do.”

    She sure could. But Vi had really, really hoped she could get out of saying it outright. “I think you know exactly what you want to do.”

    “Not me,” Caitlyn squeezes her thigh gently, looks at her with a gaze that is full of all the heat in this room, sucked in with one slow, fluttery blink. “It’s all for you, darling.”

    Vi scoffs- wheezes, more like. “And you’re getting nothing out of this?”

    Caitlyn reddens. It always starts near her nose to wrap around her cheeks, ending at her ears in a trackable gradient. It’s a point for Vi in what has so far been a very unbalanced game.

    “Don’t deflect,” Caitlyn deflects, squeezing her harder, the leather gloves pinching into the fat of her thighs, “I’m rather curious to hear what you wanted me to do with these.”

    The shooting gloves stay on.
