Caitlyn x lonely!reader

cw: domestic!Caitlyn, loneliness, doomscrolling, staying up late, hints of jealousy, written based off of my own experiences

You get lonely at night.

You don't know what it is about the dark sky and early hours of the morning, but something about the combination claws at your soul. You're a night owl, always have been, but the isolation you've been harboring lately feels more haunting than comforting

You still like the night. It used to be a time for relaxation: a time in which you could let your guard down and recharge from your long days. It's peaceful to know that everyone is asleep; thus, you can do whatever you please. It's just—

It's just lonely.

You don't know when it shifted, don't know when you started to sink into a depressive state the later it got. Your bedroom feels empty, like your presence isn't enough to fill it. Your heart is left aching for something that's not there. It feels like someone should be next to you, pulling you close into their warm embrace and burying their face in your hair. You long to fall asleep like that: legs tangled together, safe, loved.

Social media, as always, only makes things worse. You find yourself doomscrolling most nights, flipping through Instagram stories and TikToks of people you envy. Not that you wish you were them — you just desperately want what they have. When a TikTok comes up of two beautiful women in a relationship, living the happiest domestic life together as wives, the pit in your stomach grows larger.

Like. Repost. Comment: "may this kind of love find me."

Yet, it never seems to.

|------» ~~~ «------| 

"Darling?"

A voice tinged by a heavy accent calls softly throughout your bedroom. "Are you coming to bed?"

You're in the bathroom, glancing at yourself in the mirror as you apply your moisturizer. "Coming," you sigh, capping your moisturizer before turning off the bathroom light and stepping into your bedroom.

Caitlyn lounges on her side of your bed, her pretty head propped up on a pillow as she looks at you expectantly. The glow of the fairy lights strung above your bed make her sharp features look softer. "How am I supposed to fall asleep if you're off doing skincare?" she complains, marking her place in her book and setting it on the nightstand.

You cast a smile at her, too soft and loving to be reminding. "You always tell me to take care of myself. That's what my skincare is."

"So you say," Caitlyn grumbles, but she's tugging you into her arms the moment you make contact with the bed. She draws the blankets over the two of you, tucking in the edges to make sure you're warm enough. Presses her lips to your forehead, too, as if you need any more evidence of her adoration. It reminds you of your doomscrolling nights years ago, when you thought you'd never find a love like hers.

"We're waking up at nine tomorrow?" You mumble, already half asleep as Caitlyn's warmth lulls you to the land of dreams.

"Mhm. We have breakfast with Jayce, and then we'll visit my mother afterwards."

"M'kay," your voice drops to a whisper as your eyes fall shut. You say the words you've always longed to say, that you never thought you'd be able to. "I love you, Cait."

"And I love you, my darling."

For all my sweeties that get lonely at night, wishing for something you don't have so much so that your soul hurts. I feel this way most, if not all nights, despite staying up so late. It weighs on me a lot. So, since I'm currently experiencing one of those nights, I decided to write my feelings out in hopes that some of you can see yourselves in it.

And I'll tell you what I also need to hear: it will be okay, I promise. I hope you all find a love like Caitlyn's. Even if you don't think you will, even if you're reading this and thinking "I want this, but I don't think I can have it," I believe that you will. I believe that there is someone out there feeling the exact same way, hoping for you.

not so gentle reminder from a criminal justice major: law enforcement all across the country (DHS/ICE included) gets an average of roughly in $135B in funding while social programs and fire departments have to rely on the local government and often don’t get the resources they need. But hell yeah, let’s get the piggies more rubber bullets and undercover cars while ppl run into burning buildings for $2 and a goddamn hotdog. 😍

“Hey, I’m gonna pop out for a coffee with a friend. You’re okay to hold down the fort for a while, right?” Andrew shrugs his jacket on, making it very clear that he has every intention of leaving, with or without your permission. 

You have to fight the urge to snap back with a smart remark. “That depends.” 

Andrew scoffs. “On what, exactly?”

“Well, how long is a little while?” You muse aloud. 

“Jesus,” Andrew mumbles. “Didn’t realise I was on the clock here.”

“You’re at work,” You deadpan.

Andrew rolls his eyes. “Yeah, I’m well aware of that. But your type are always complaining that us men don’t trust you to do things for yourself. Here I am, giving you the perfect opportunity to do so, and what do you do? You throw it back in my face.” He braces his hands against the countertop. “So, I’ll ask again. Can you mind the shop or do you need me to hold your hand?” 

Said hand itches to reach out and smack him across the face. “Just go.” 

Andrew seems to take your answer as a win rather than you getting fed up with him, and he offers you a smug smile.

You flip him off as he walks out of the store. The bell at the top of the doorframe nearly comes loose with how hard he slams the door shut, and you have to fight the impulse to chase after him and give him a well-deserved piece of your mind. 

“What a bastard.” 

Your brows raise as you follow the sound of the voice. Your eyes land on a tall guy, maybe six foot, with a messy mop of curls on the top of his head.

He scoffs, leaning his weight against the cash register, and shakes his head in disbelief. "I swear, some people are so entitled, it's unbelievable." With one last glare in the direction of the door, he turns to you, gaze softening as a crooked smile tugs at the corners of your lips. “I’m Graham.”

You nod and give him your name.

Graham grins, and bats his lashes at you like a love-sick teenager. “Ah. A pretty name for a pretty girl.”

“Flirt.”

“Guilty.” He shrugs.

You smile despite yourself. “So… Graham. What’s a guy like you do for a living?”

“Well, apart from saving a damsels in distress?”

“Obviously.” You play along.

He smiles and two dimples carve their way into the skin around his mouth. “I’m in a band.”

You cant deny that your interest is piqued now. You lean against the countertop and rest your chin in the palm of your hand. “A band, you say. What’s your band’s name?”

“The Six. But you’d probably know us as Daisy Jones and The Six.”

“Never heard of them,” You lie.

“Bullshit.”

“What do you play?”

“Apart from twenty-one questions?” He chuckles when you fix him with a look. “I play lead guitar.”

“You guys any good?”

“Why don’t you come see for yourself?” You watch curiously as he starts patting down the back pocket of his blue denim jeans. A small noise of triumph slips past his lips as he brandishes about a laminated ticket. “Here. For you.”

You arch a sharp brow but take the ticket from him, anyway. “You make a habit of carrying one of these around with you?”

“You can never be too prepared.” Graham smiles and offers you a wink. Your heart does a flip in your chest, and you shake your head fondly. “It’s a VIP.” He explains. “If you stick around after, I’ll buy you a drink.”

“What makes you so sure I’m going to come? I’ve just met you.”

“Is that a no?” You’re quiet and he grins before tapping the wooden countertop and waltzing in the direction of the door. “I’ll see you tonight.”

And with that, he’s gone.

¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸

You don’t know what possesses you to actually go to the conccert. Maybe it’s because he caught your attention earlier in the record shop. Or maybe it’s because he’s cute. Either way, you find a spot by the front of the stage and re-tie the front of your bell-sleeve top to pass the time.

As soon as the lead singers come on stage, the crowd erupts into applause so loud that you wonder if it might burst your delicate eardrums. Once the musicans have adjusted the microphones to suit their differing heights, the rest of the band file out.

Grahams eyes immediately search the VIP section for you, and he offers you a wink when he spots you in the crowd. You roll your eyes in return, but you can’t help the warmth that creeps into your cheeks or the wry smile that tugs at the corners of your lips.

Daisy speaks into the microphone and welcomes the crowd as Graham, the pianist, the bassist and the drummer all take their respective spots on stage. “So how are we feeling tonight?” She asks and the crowd responds by screaming. She smiles like a cheshire cat. “That’s what I like to hear!”

Within seconds, the drummer has counted them in and they’ve launched into their first song. You recoginse it from the charts— Aurora, you think it’s called. You sing along and sway to the music, trying to ignore the way Graham’s gaze pierces a hole through you.

At one point, you flip him the finger subtly, but all he does is laugh into his microphone and shrug his shoulders when the male lead shoots him a quizzical look.

Their songs roll into each other effortlessly and by the time “The River” has started playing, you have given up on pretending like you didn’t know who they were altogether.

Daisy thanks everyone for coming as their setlist comes to a close and she throws one of her many necklaces into the crowd, where people start to fight and claw at each other over it.

You chuckle to yourself and true to your word, hang around until the venue starts to empty. There are still thousands of people mulling around when you hear a quiet, “psst!”, from one of the stage doors.

Spinning on your heel, you turn to see Graham peeking his head out of the door and pointing at you. “Let her through,” he says to the security guards, who must be getting paid far too much to argue with him, as they part like the red sea and hurry you through.

Graham grins as he ushers you through the door and closes it behind you. The sound is muffled from back here, and he leans against the wall with a smug smile on his face. “Never heard of them my ass.”

You grin. “Didn’t want any of y’all getting a bigger ego than you already have.”

Graham presses a hand to his heart in faux offence. “All have you know, my brothers the one with the ego problem. Not me.”

“Whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy.”

He laughs. “You have a backbone. I like that. You’re like a firecracker.” He clicks his fingers. “A cherry bomb. That’s what I’m gonna call you. Cherry.”

You roll your eyes. “What does that even mean?”

“Forget it, Cherry.”

You bite back a scoff. “You gonna buy me that drink or what?”

“Depends.”

“On?”

“Will this be counted as our first date or do I have to earn that?”

“Depends.”

He grins. “I’ll take that as a yes. Come on, let’s get that drink.”

— FORMULA ONE IS SO BACK (AND SO AM I)

did not intend to disappear for two months but i decided to use the off season to relax and get situated with going back to school after a few years off. work was also crazy so i was trying to balance all of that with writing but it was too much. so a new schedule i will probably stick to (we shall see lol) is writing during race weekends and taking a break when there is no grand prix going on.

i will also be accepting requests starting now but will get started on them thursday. i am only accepting requests for small blurbs, drabbles, and smau’s. any full story will be written if i get the inspo but other than that i wont be writing one shots all the time anymore.

Not trying to be rude or anything but I saw a similar fanfic to yours one or two weeks ago and now you’re doing the same concept and it’s kinda odd..

First off, if you're talking about idol!Caitlyn, I've spoken for a while about wanting to do that AU -- I made a post in early February. I've seen a few fics by a few creators, and I LOVE them and have recommended them on my blog in the past.

As far as doing the same concept, respectfully, it's really not odd. The thing about fanfiction is many writers do similar concepts for characters or ships they like. Most concepts actually aren't totally original ideas. For example, many people have made tons of vampire!Caitlyn concepts because they like the idea, and it's not an issue because everyone adds their own spin on it. Or how cowgirl!Vi is common.

Copying/stealing someone's work is a huge issue. However, people do similar AUs or concepts because they want to add their own take on it. NO ONE shares the exact same take on a concept because everyone's imagination is different -- we are all different people.

All my takes on Caitlyn are entirely my own. While yes, others have written about the idea of idol!Caitlyn or other concepts of her, my writing is all original. It comes from my imagination, my brain, and my hard work.

I can see why you might be worried, but you have to understand that stealing someone else's writing is an issue. People doing similar concepts in a fandom that's as large as Arcane is not an issue.

I have never, EVER posted writing that is not entirely my own. I ask that people do not steal MY work, but if anyone takes inspiration from concepts I do, I'm very excited to see what their take on it is! We as fanfiction writers love and support each other to build a community we're proud to be a part of.

Stealing someone's original work is not okay. Concepts and AUs are for everyone.

(and, in case anyone is curious, yameoto and valalice have AMAZING idol!Caitlyn AUs that I highly recommend checking out)!

And we loved chuggintons and doc mcstuffins (we have the lambie plush in storage until we move, but we didn't have the chugginton plush)

[nandysparadox]

SO TRUE CHESS!!! aaaugh the progression of his character is so so good. From the beginning he was always the "strike first , think later" kind of guy which contrasts Polites' try to be as peaceful as possible and Odysseus "plan at least 500 contingencies and lie your way out of everything " approach. Eurylochus has always been a man of the ppl first and foremost, he's a warrior, it makes sense. He's not afraid to contradict Odysseus as his second in command. But deep down he's also a very ... anxious? person. and after Polites and a couple of their men died to Polyphemus he became more careful, more withdrawn, more terrified of the consequences. He started to "run away" more, he doesn't want to see Odysseus hurt, he trusts him but in Luck Rus Out its not that he lacks trust in him but hes filled with worry, what if something bad happens, what can he do if he loses him? He doesn't know what to do with himself if he loses his Captain, his Ody, "the brother I can never do without"

and Odysseus who became restless doesn't know how to respond to it. He wants to convince Eurylochus and the crew that his plans should always be followed and are free of flaws, he can keep them safe. Eurylochus whos being both pessimistic and realistic after their huge loss from the cyclops doesn't believe this entirely but at the end he also realizes the position he put Ody in so he shuts up and doesn't bring up his concerns again...

Until Circe!! start of the circe saga, Eury immediately goes to Odysseus *privately* to confess abt the wind bag but Odysseus was like nah Eury later. and thenn like the whole men into pigs happen and this is probably like one of the most stand out parts of Eurys character to me, again it emphasizes his "cowardice". He was too suspicious to go inside of Circe's palace, he stayed behind. He went back to Odysseus when things went south and suggest they leave the crew. Odysseus tells him that he wouldn't have left Eury, which fills Eury with both guilt and conflicting emotions.

He wanted to "cut their losses and run", so afraid of losing more against an unknown threat, that he fails to realize that Odysseus is a man of pride. Yeah, he probably would have went back for Eury. Eury would *definitely* have gone back for Odysseus, he just didnt think that a small amount of the crew was worth it especially after losing so many ships to Poseidon , literally more than half of their men gone.

AND THIS ASK IS GETTING RLLY LONG ALREADY but this is definitely whyy like hes so complex!!! he went to confess in Scylla that he opened the wind bag because he started to believe in Odysseus that he had it under control and that he wouldn't fault Eurylochus in the end, he started to worry less about the crew because he thought Odysseus would save each and every one of them, that none of them is expendable in his eyes. But then Odysseus betrayed that trust, didnt tell anyone abt Scylla, and even almost killed Eurylochus too by telling him to light up a torch. LIKE THATS CRAZY!!!

YES YOU UNDERSTAND. fundamentally eurylochus is a very anxious person, and what is interesting is that his misgivings about odysseus' commands come not from a place of defiance but genuine concern. that underlines most of his actions. from the beginning he's worried about the men, he's worried about odysseus. and that makes their relationship very compelling to me because it's clear there's as much care as there is distance between them. i think eurylochus trusted odysseus, but after the cyclops saga he began to doubt his captain's judgement.

in the circe saga, once again he's cautious, he doesn't go in the palace (which was for the best, in the end. if he was turned into a pig there'd be no one to tell odysseus about the situation) - and his argument with odysseus is very interesting as well. he's being very pragmatic by wanting to leave the scouts, though it's not exactly honourable, but you can tell a lot of it comes from worry again. he doesn't want to lose odysseus. he saw what circe can do. but i think a part of him internalized what odysseus said to him - because after the underworld saga there's a shift to his perspective

i think it marked the point where he began to trust odysseus' judgement again, that he began to believe odysseus did have their best interests in mind. and that's an interesting point you bring up, that it might something that motivates him to try to confess about the windbag again. all this just makes scylla way more tragic in my opinion. THAT IS CRAZY! the lead in from scylla to mutiny is incredibly heartbreaking to me. because at least in my view, eurylochus never wanted to be in that position. he didn't want to have to seize power. but for the sake of the crew he feels like it's his responsibility. and it leads them to their doom.
