Summary
Canon-Divergent AU: When Jinx returns for Vi after their battle in the Temple, the sisters must grapple with who they are to each other, themselves, and the people they have loved and lost. Caitlyn, falling under the sway of those who would consume her in the fires of their own ambition, must decide what is worth saving and what she is willing to sacrifice. And Ekko, returned from a world that showed him truths he had never expected, must act to save his people and the woman he loves...
Pit Fighter Vi, who is only slightly crashing out, vs. General Kiramman, who is barely keeping it together (Also they are still deeply in love with each other). Jinx is doing her damnedest to be a good sister, Ekko is trying to make the world a better place, and Isha keeps finding the grenades.
Noxian Piltover vs. The Zaunite Dream Team, guerilla warfare and 'enemies' who would rather be kissing each other!

Summary
"It seems I am Dragonborn, and so I will defend your people whether they like it or not."
Dunmer are everything Nords are not. So when a wayward priest from Morrowind finds himself at the center of Nord legend and bearing a title that his own people regard with fear and disgust, he will ignite a storm across Skyrim, the Empire, and beyond.
An expansion on the story of Skyrim, with significant input from the wider lore of the Elder Scrolls.
WARNING: Contains mature content, limited to but not including sexual themes, violence, and in-depth examinations of lore.
NOTE: Dragon from Ash is currently undergoing a significant rewrite to better support the story going forward. Part of this will involve breaking some larger chapters into more manageable ones, so expect the chapter count to change before truly new content is added. The pre-rewrite version has been saved as a separate Legacy story.

Summary
Over the past year, Caitlyn Kiramman has destroyed nearly every good thing in her life in pursuit of Jinx. But when allegiances shift and bring a chance to atone for the damage she has caused, she will have to decide if her love for Vi is stronger than the pain of her past. And Vi, reeling from losses old and new, must come to terms with not only everything she has survived, but the fact that, for the first time in her life, she can choose her own future.
A rewrite and expansion of my earlier fic, now with the morning after and some extra side character conflict!
Canon-Divergent from the end of Act 5, dealing with Vi's trauma and her and Caitlyn's first steps towards reconciliation. Caitlyn seeks redemption for the damage she's done, Vi takes stock of all she's lost and what she has left, Jinx has the chance to decide who she wants to be, Sevika could use a drink, and Ekko is really happy that Vi's alive and really sad about basically everything else.
Potentially a springboard for a larger set of stories concerning the future of Piltover and Zaun, the war with Noxus, and more.

Set Your Oil Ablaze (Old Version) by Mortigaunt

Summary
In the aftermath of Ambessa's attack, Caitlyn is forced to confront the consequences of her actions, Vi has some hard conversations, Jinx is doing her best, and Sevika could really use a drink.
Canon-Divergent Fic from S2E6 onwards, dealing with Vi's trauma and her and Caitlyn's first steps towards reconciliation.
This fic will not bash anyone, but a chunk of it does deal with Caitlyn recognizing how she has failed Vi, and seeking to atone for that. This takes place in concert with Vi acquiring some sense of self-worth, and the end-goal is a healthier and more equal and supportive relationship between the two of them.
Now reworked and expanded with a new edition, which I would suggest everyone read. Not doing anything to this story, but it is no longer the latest and greatest.

Summary
The version of Dragon from Ash that existed prior to my extensive rewrite, incomplete and preserved for anyone who wants it.
There is a lot about this version that needed to change IMO, but I'm not about removing old stuff from the internet, so here it is in case anyone cares.

where you go, I'm going (so jump and I'm jumping) by camwolfe

Summary
After ten years in Stillwater for a crime she didn't commit, Vi breaks herself out and goes home. Her homecoming doesn't go like she thought it would.
Two years later, she's out of control and out on the streets. She's now a champion pitfighter, a raging alcoholic, and completely on her own. Despite her family's best (and desperate) efforts to help, Vi's on a one-way track to ending up either dead or back in prison.
At the same time, Caitlyn arrives in the undercity to collect data and information for her thesis. She starts her research from a local bar called The Last Drop, which puts her right into Vi's path. Vi might have been out of her family's home for years, but she's still not going to let a topsider put them in danger.
Canon divergence (everyone lives!), enemies to lovers (barely, the lovers aspect happens fast), angst, trauma, addiction, and also fluff and humour (because these things can co-exist!)

Summary
“Micah said she was lying to me," Corinne mumbled.
“Who?”
“Mother.”
There was a stretch of silence as Vi reached for a roll of gauze.
“About what?”
“I don’t know.”
Tenderly, the bandages were wrapped around her knuckles. Snug but not too snug. A practiced motion. Corinne kept her eyes on their hands and added:
“About the war.”
OR
When an incident at school sends their daughters home injured, Caitlyn and Vi realize they can no longer keep the truth of their past from them. Their inherited legacy is one stained with blood, sweat and tears.

Summary
“Houston, do you copy?”
Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…
“Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”
Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”
There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.
“Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”
OR
Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

Summary
“Do you want a ride home?”
Caitlyn pauses, turning to look at Vi over her shoulder with those heart-stopping eyes. Vi doesn’t know if she wants to coddle her or take a bite out of her. It’s like cuteness aggression but hornier. Caitlyn blinks, mouth twisting like she doesn’t know if she wants to frown or smile.
“Do you…have a car?” she asks, peering around like Vi has a vehicle hidden behind a nearby tree. Vi laughs.
“I’m the ride, cupcake.”What do you call it when you’ve spent years protecting New York as everyone’s favorite masked vigilante and suddenly find yourself caught between your growing attraction to the Police Commissioner’s daughter and your loyalty to your estranged sister, who just so happens to have whacked a corrupt billionaire in a high profile case that’s tearing the city apart?
Some would call it getting caught between a rock and a hard place. Vi calls it Tuesday.Bookmarked by Mortigaunt

Summary
El Mayarah. Her family’s motto. Stronger together. But how was she supposed to be stronger together when she was alone?
She was trying. Every day, she tried. She made the effort to get up, to face her life with as much grace as she could. She was one of the last survivors of her people, potentially the last, and she wouldn’t dishonor her people’s memory, her family’s memory, by giving up. She wouldn’t fail her parents, wouldn’t give up until her last promise to them was fulfilled.
Kara Zor-El arrives on an Earth where Superman doesn't exist. Without anyone to intercept her crashed pod, Kara is found and captured by the government. Twelve years later, her last promise to her family remains unfulfilled. Depressed, alone, and in hiding, she runs into a green-eyed scientist looking to redeem her own family name.
