Summary
ALERT TO SUBSCRIBERS: THIS FIC IS BEING RELISTED FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THE STRIKE FOR PALESTINE. ALL CONTENT REMAINS THE SAME.
"'Oil and water'...and what? She's the oil?" Ekko laughed. "Bullshit. She's salt. Stir her up and she'll melt right into you."
[Immediately following the end of Arcane Ep 9. As the cities descend into war, Caitlyn and Vi seek refuge, grappling with the aftermath.]

Chapters 6+ are intended for mature audiences. Reader discretion is advised.
Note: Mentions of SA are non-explicit and are not ongoing themes. Each mention is called out at chapter level with in-line markers ([#] to stop reading, [##] to resume) so readers can avoid this content if they so choose. Canon characters are plot-armored against SA despite my treating SA as extant in the universe.
Readers should be prepared to encounter all other Mature Content w/out additional warning.

She was tentative. Quiet. Eyes downcast. She pressed into sore places on her wrist.
Caitlyn studied her.
"...read to you?"

Caitlyn let silence ask for an explanation.
Vi lifted a shoulder.
"Bad day. Can't focus. And…your voice, you know?"
—"Keeps me here."
That's how it started.

"I was just wondering how many you had."
Vi blinked open her other eye.
"How many of what?"
Caitlyn's finger brushed with purpose against a point high on her cheekbone.
"Freckles."

Summary
Vi is on the broad windowsill, tucked behind her knees, her sketchpad open against her legs. The breeze from outside is easy, the daylight soft and just right. Its angle cuts across the floor and hits Cait as it should. As if she's the reason the sun rose that morning.
Vi's hand tightens around her charcoal. Again, it begins to move.

"It only gets better from here."

[Note: the "First Time" tag refers to "their first time using the strap together in this way." Cait is written as experienced in both wearing (in previous relationships) and receiving. Vi, by this point, has worn it for Cait. But the experience depicted here is new to Vi. She and Cait are written as having been otherwise physically/sexually intimate with each other for some time.]

It's a pleasure to see her this way, like a bow unstrung.
Still curved and strong, but without all the strain.
