Caitvi Soulmates AU

Here is my addition to @somewillwin 's lovely SoulmateAU! Be sure to check out their amazing young caitvi artwork.

Thank you for letting me write this fun little fic, and for creating your wonderful artwork to fill me with medical whump and parent & daughter feels.

I might like to write more of this, if you all are enjoying it :) i've never done soulmates AU and feel this will be a fun writing exercise.

Edit: sorry about the formatting.

Cassandra exhaled, watching Caitlyn’s soft breaths steam the BiPAP mask which forced her singed lungs to inhale.

The claustrophobia from the mask had been bad.

Cassandra dragged her palm down her own face, watching Caitlyn as she rested. The Ativan had been a lifesaver, and she seemed comfortable now, letting the machine help her breathe while she slept.

Cassandra held her unburnt hand, feeling her slowly relax her fingers as she drifted deeper into sleep. Sleep was good—it meant she was somewhat comfortable. It meant that she didn’t feel so claustrophobic anymore in the mask.

                She took another breath, steadying her self and blinking back her tears.

                Cait looked so small.

                Jayce had been crying outside, apologizing, panicking.

                She’d sent Viktor and Councilor Heimerdinger to locate him, and did her best to keep her anger in check.

                What had he been thinking? What had he been doing in that apartment? Cassandra squeezed her eyes closed, determined not to make a sound. She’d never forgive herself if she woke Cait now.

                She’ll need to recover. Have to make sure her airway doesn’t swell. Make sure she doesn’t get an infection from the burns. Broken ribs from the blast. Lucky, so lucky.

                Everything Tobias had been saying to her swirled in her brain. Cassandra gripped Cait’s hand, feeling her twitch lightly, and then hoping she didn’t disturb her.

                A soft knock on the door.

                She bristled, straightening herself, making sure she was positioned between Cait and the door.

                Petunia. The Kiramman house’s longtime cook, and one of Cassandra’s favorite employees. Cassandra let the tension release from her spine.

                “I came to check on you, Ms. Kiramman.” She kept her voice low.

                “I’m fine.”

                “Tobias reckons you need a short break. I can sit with her. If you need.”

                No, she couldn’t. She shouldn’t. She needed to stay here—Cait had been in pain and crying. She couldn’t bear the thought of her waking again and needing something and her mother not being there.

                Cassandra heaved a breath through her nose, trying to quell the shaking of the sobs threatening to escape her chest.

                “Ms. Kiramman.” Petunia was at her side, firm hands settling on her shoulders, a whisper of an order, “Take a break. Five minutes. I’m right here with her.”

                Cassandra managed a nod, choking on another sob as she stood on shaky legs.

                Cait couldn’t hear her sob. Not here, not now.

                With her face buried in her sleeve, Cassandra managed to get herself into the hallway before she cried. She let her back rest against the cold cinderblock wall, sucking in frantic breaths through her nose as her ribs constricted.

                Her daughter had been in an explosion with another fifteen-year-old.

                Cassandra tried to breathe.

                 Her daughter was struggling to breathe. Her daughter had almost ended up with a breathing tube.

                Another sob heaved from her chest as she fought for her breath. Why was it so hot in here? Cassandra ripped open the top button of her collar, she couldn’t breathe—why couldn’t she breathe? Why was it so hot in here?

                “Cass.” Tobais’ voice hummed in her ear, his strong arms wrapping around her waist.

                Cassandra turned to him, burying into his shoulder, “We need…..I need….sit with her….”

                “Petunia is with her.” Tobias assured, holding her harder against him. She felt the warmth of his chest through the thin material of his scrubs, “It’s alright. She’s going to be alright.”

has anyone done this yet

[i-hope-you-lie-to-me]

Nooooo the guard line was about her letting jinx walk free. She's telling vi shes done letting the hatred blind her implying the Caitlyn she loves is right there if vi wants her 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Hey so like

In regards to THAT CaitVi scene

I have just one single small nitpick

This might be controversial but I feel like if they had just added one more line the switch from guilt-induced-breakdown to sesbian-lex might be more natural?

Like Vi just said that she feels her decisions caused her to lose everyone, and I feel like Caitlyn should have at least addressed that first? Instead of jumping into “hey no guards let’s get freaky I planned this”

I think Caitlyn could’ve just added one sentence of “Not everyone.” after Vi said “And because of that, I lost everyone.”

And then after she says “Not everyone.”, then we get to the guards line.

I just think that would’ve made the scene flow more naturally because this is just itching me for some reason.

But also about that ending remember the first rule of watching any show or movie at all?

NO BODY NO DEATHS.

IF THERE AIN’T A BODY, THEY ALIVE.

(I’m desperate please let me have this)

[i-hope-you-lie-to-me]

you know it’s bad when the show ended and everyone’s big takeaway is “OMG CAITVI SEX !!!” i fear media literacy is dead. vi was abused by enforcers for YEARS in a cell just like that only for them to have cait and vi’s first time in a jail cell… they couldn’t of gone to a BED ?? it couldn’t of been the least bit of romantic ?? they had the woman who was abused for years by enforcers in a cell have sex with an enforcer in a cell… not to mention jinx was in the SAME cell not even a few minutes prior starving and hurting herself. only for her sister to have sex in the exact same spot she was just contemplating ending it all ?? the amount of disrespect is astonishing and the fact people are so excited over this disgusting sex scene is kinda appalling.

[i-hope-you-lie-to-me]

Whatever you do, don't listen to spin the wheel and imagine a montage of caitvi growing old together. Don't imagine the bitter-sweet milestone moments they'll experience wishing all the people they've lost could experience it too

Cuddle request. 🥰

[i-hope-you-lie-to-me]

Oh to be a girl from an old and rich family and be guarded day and night by a tall woman in uniform and I've known her most of my life and she's so fiercely loyal and very protective and sometimes I watch her training in the yard and quietly sip my drink a little slower than usual and people question why I'm not taking a husband but I say I'm simply too busy and one night I take my bodyguard on a stroll in the gardens and as I sit down on a bench and I see her standing there, at attention as always, I beckon her to relax and come sit next to me, and as she does, I let myself take in her full presence, her tidy braid illuminated only by the light of the stars, and her furrowed brow, staring at me with such care and concern, and in that moment, a wish passes my lips, a simple statement, not a command, leaving her free to refuse, and yet she takes to it with the same zeal as she does all her duties

[i-hope-you-lie-to-me]

I felt the sudden urge to draw her
