    Summary

    “About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”

    “Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”

    “Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”

    “Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”

    Summary

    Phase three, even more nebulous, but kicks in should phase two go wrong. It involves as few people as possible navigating Piltover’s tallest tower to corner the heads of state in order to negotiate the official severing of Zaun and Piltover. The kind of negotiating that ends in a yes or the toppling of a government.

    “You will have to quell that empathy of yours. Kiramman is an obstacle, a means. If they knew your intentions they wouldn’t hesitate to put you back in Stillwater. If that. So I implore you, my dear, don’t forget where you came from. Don’t forget why you’re there.”

    Rebellion AU. Caitlyn is working as a politician in training. Vi is hired to protect her while simultaneously working as an inside agent for Zaun.

    Summary

    In one world, a troubled little bluebird leaps from the gilded cage of Atlas, and lands in the hands of three women who'd change her life forever. To become May Marigold, to become a Happy Huntress, to be loved and live happily-ever-after. In another, by a small quirk of fate, the same girl falls into the grasp of a different charismatic leader, with a different crew of outcasts. The fate of all Remnant may shift under the fluttering of a blackened bluebird’s wings.

    After fleeing Atlas Academy with a wounded sense of self, the miserable heir to the Marigold family fortune finds themself living rough in Mantle's backstreets. In a world where Cinder never falls, where Winter becomes a much happier huntress, and where Salem still seeks a viable new vessel to inherit the Maidenhood, it is the cry of Marigold's heart that seals their fate. When a powerful stranger comes calling to dredge them out of the slush and grime, and in an instant, sees her for who she really is - and all that she can become - a future, fledgling Fall Maiden is born.

    (The less-fortunate flipside of Connect Four.)
