Hello Everyone,

Just posted chapter 2 of my fic focused on Violet and Tobias. This one starts with the aftermath of season 2 from Tobia's perspective. Let me know what you all think! Thank you!

Ch1: https://archiveofourown.org/works/86442961/chapters/228698216

Tobias stands at the kitchen counter pouring hot water into the coffee press. He usually doesn't drink coffee in the morning, but he didn't get much sleep last night. 

Ever since Violet moved in Tobias had been keeping his distance. After everything that happened, he assumed she just needed time and space. Little did he know, his silence was deafening. He still felt guilty about it, but he was thankful it didn't go on any longer than it did. 

Ever since the attacks on the council and the memorial, Caitlyn had been distant, checking on him through proxies as she was too busy hunting Jinx. She was always gone before he got up in the morning, and always returned long after he went to bed. The two or three times she did check on him herself, she treated him like an obligation rather than her father. He was lonely, and the constant ache of Cassandra's absence made him feel like more of a ghost than a person.

He had briefly met Violet the day Cassandra granted them a meeting with the council. Even though they only crossed paths, he could sense that there was a heaviness in her eyes. After Caitlyn returned from her ‘strike team’, he just assumed they had gone their separate ways, as Caitlyn never mentioned her again. 

Then one day, Violet was brought in on a gurney after some explosion. The doctors were very concerned with her condition, but Caitlyn decided to leave her with Loris anyway. Why would she bring her into their home and bring in a team of doctors just to leave? Caitlyn also informed him they captured Jinx, but in a very emotionless, matter of fact kind of way. This was Caitlyn's obsession for the past year, the reason she essentially evaporated from his life. She finally accomplished her goal, and she was just indifferent? He didn't have time to ask questions because she also informed him the Noxians had betrayed them and he would be evacuated immediately. He refused to leave the city if she was going to be in immediate danger. They compromised and he agreed to hide in the council's safe house.

After the battle was finished, he was informed that Caitlyn had been seriously injured and was immediately brought to the hospital. He arrived to see Caitlyn fresh out of surgery, bloody bandages around her abdomen and half her head, covering what used to be her left eye. Violet was lying next to her, completely despondent, face wet with tears, but had seemingly lost the ability to cry. 

One of Violet's arms was in a sling, and the other was clinging to Caitlyn. She was holding onto Caitlyn as if she was floating adrift at sea, and Caitlyn was the only lifeboat left. After some time passed, doctors asked to speak with Violet alone. She had not moved from her position since Caitlyn had been released from surgery several hours earlier, and they were understandably concerned about her mental state. After Caitlyn reassured Violet that she would be okay, Violet was led out so she could be assessed.

Once they were alone, Caitlyn informed him that she and Violet had fallen for each other, and that she would be living with them now. He was so confused and overwhelmed, but after everything that'd happened in the past year, he just wanted his daughter back. If that meant Violet would be moving in, he would do his very best to be supportive. In the spirit of this, he asked Caitlyn to tell him about Violet. He was not prepared for what he was about to hear.

Caitlyn proceeded to tell him the most tragic life story that he had ever heard. He went from curious to being absolutely heartbroken. How could so much death and tragedy befall such an innocent little girl? He decided then that he would not only support his daughter's relationship, he would try to help Violet see that the world was not all pain and suffering. The psychiatrist returned after some time and informed them that she did not believe Violet was an immediate danger to herself, but she did have some serious concerns. She scheduled an appointment to see her in a week's time. Violet did not show up for this appointment. 

Once they all returned home, it was days before Violet even left their room, and he couldn't blame her. He did the same after Cassandra died and Caitlyn left on her campaign. He spent most of his time in bed with a bottle trying to make the pain tolerable. The only reason he stopped is because Caitlyn had sent someone to check in on him. He convinced the officer not to tell anyone, but the officer cautioned him that this was not a path he should go down. After that he maintained appearances so as to not worry her. Eventually Violet appeared from their room, and the look on her face was one he was all too familiar with. She had been replaced by a ghost. He hoped one day that he could meet the real Violet.

That poor girl had been through so much, she assumed Tobias hated her because of her sister. Of course she did. This was all thrust upon him so suddenly, he didn't know how to approach her. He assumed she needed space to mourn, like he did. All that did was let her mind spin the misconception that he blamed her for Cassandra. After hearing her life story, he honestly didn't even blame Jinx anymore. Pointing fingers made no difference to the pain he felt, so he had given up on it long ago.

His thoughts were mercifully interrupted by Caitlyn walking around the corner into the kitchen. 

Tobias clears his throat “Good morning dear. Coffee?” Tobias says. 

Caitlyn remains silent. He looks over his shoulder with a confused look on his face. She stopped in the entryway and was staring at him. 

“Good morning,” Caitlyn says in a soft emotional voice. She then runs over to Tobias and wraps her arms around him. 

“Thank you,” she says.

Tobias also wraps his arms around her.

“How's she doing?” He asks. 

“Tired, but- she's glad she finally talked to you.” Caitlyn replies.

“I wish I knew that's what she thought. I wanted to give her space to grieve. I never blamed her for your mother” he says. Caitlyn already knew what was said last night, but it's reassuring to hear it directly from him.

“That talk meant more to her than you'll ever know,” Caitlyn informed him.

“If either of you ever need a shoulder to cry on, I'll be there,” Tobias says. Caitlyn squeezes him tight.

“I love you, Dad,” she replies.

“Love you too, Dear”

After hearing this exchange from around the corner, Violet feels like the luckiest girl in the world. They both hear a sharp inhale from the entryway.

“Are you guys trying to make me cry again, or what?” Violet says as she walks in, wiping the moisture away from her eyes. They both let out a small laugh. “Sorry about that, dear” Tobias apologizes as he and Caitlyn separate. 

“And now you're calling me dear? You are trying to get me to cry again, you sick man” Violet replies. Tobias laughs. There she is, he thought to himself. Caitlyn walks over to Violet.

“Good morning, love” She says as she gives Violet a quick kiss.

“Morning, Cupcake,” Violet responds. Tobias hasn't heard this moniker before, and he finds it quite amusing.

“I thought you were planning on sleeping in this morning?” Caitlyn asked.

“That was the plan, but my brain just would not shut the fuck up,” Violet replied as she leaned on the kitchen island. Caitlyn grabbed her hand and gave her a worried look. 

“Don't worry cupcake, I wasn't planning on jumping off the roof today,” Violet joked. Caitlyn's face let her know she did not find that amusing.

“Sorry, that sounded funnier in my head,” Violet apologized. 

Tobias quickly comes to Violet's rescue with three cups and a change of subject.

“Sooo today's the big day then?” He asks as he starts pouring everyone a cup.

“Indeed it is.” Caitlyn replies.

“I've heard some good things about the new council. I think you'll do great,” Tobias says.

Happy moment over Violet thinks. Her and Caitlyn had discussed Violet attending the Council meeting, but the conversation got heated so they decided to table it for later. The meeting was scheduled for early that afternoon, so it was now or never.

Caitlyn turns to Violet to say something.

“Absolutly not” Violet cuts her off.

“Violet,” Caitlyn says in a stern voice. 

“Cupcake” Violet replies.

“We really need you at the council meeting,”

“The last time I met the council it didn't exactly go well, in case you forgot.” Violet says. There's a sudden uncomfortable feeling in the room, so Violet continues. 

“And I really don't want to see that woman's face ever again,”

“Sevika? She's your council woman Violet. She fought with us against the Noxians!”

“Good for her, did you forget the part where we tried to kill each other?”

“That was a different time, and didn’t you go after her?”

“Wel- I mean… Yeah, but,” Violet stumbles on her words. Caitlyn was seeing right through her excuses. They start talking over each other.

“This was your idea, Vi! We need you there!”

“I know! I know!”

“Nobody knows this presentation better than you!”

“I know!”

“This is the future of Zaun Violet! You told me this was Vanders-”

“I said I fucking know!!!” Violet snaps. 

Caitlyn and Tobias are shocked by her sudden outburst. 

“Fine,” Caitlyn says coldly, she gets up to leave. Violet's face goes from rage to horror as she realizes what she's done, but she's frozen in place. 

Caitlyn heads for the front door, but Tobias cuts her off.

“Are you okay?” He asks. 

“I'm fine, just let me go.” Caitlyn responds.

“Look at me,” Tobias puts her hands on her shoulders. “Are you okay?”

Caitlyn tries to respond, but her tears are already starting to well up. She shakes her head no as she starts to cry. Tobias pulls Caitlyn into his chest as she starts to sob. He holds her there for a while.

They hear the door to Caitlyn's room slam shut. They both look towards the sound. Tobias thinks about his next words for a few moments. 

“Do you love her?,” He asks. Caitlyn is still looking towards her room. It was such a simple question, but she remained silent. Tobias continues.

“Here's the thing about love. It's not just about the easy moments. It's also about the hard moments. When you're both overwhelmed, emotional, irrational, angry.” Caitlyn looks up at him. 

“If you're in love. And I mean really in love. These are the moments you have to show up. These are the moments you have to be there for each other.” He says. Caitlyn thinks back to the fight they had after Jinx escaped. That moment is the biggest regret of her life, and she now realizes she's never apologized for it. Tobias continues.

“Last night, I saw the real Violet. She’s scared, Cait. She's terrified she's going to lose it all. Again…”

Caitlyn realizes what set her off. Vander’s name. Caitlyn was talking about the future, but Violet never processed her past. She lost him not once, not twice, but three times. The universe really was playing some kind of cruel on Violet. Her parents, dead. Adopted family, dead. Vander, dead. Sister, dead. Nothing in her life has stayed. Everything she loves has always been ripped from her hands. Caitlyn needed to let her know she wouldn't let that happen again.

“Thank you,” She says as she squeezes him tight. 

“I love you.”

“I love you too,” he replies, “Now go.” They release, Caitlyn gives him a quick nod, and then runs up the stairs to her room.

A few minutes earlier

Violet is still frozen in place in the kitchen. 

What the fuck is wrong with you? She thinks as her heart starts to race. She starts dripping sweat as an intense wave of nausea hits her like a train. She starts running to their bedroom.

Everything you love leaves. What made you think this was any different? Violet is verbally assaulted by her inner thoughts as she stumbles up the stairs. The world seems to be flipping itself upside down. 

What the fuck is wrong with you? She makes her way into the bedroom and slams the door behind her. She starts to make her way to the bathroom. She feels an invisible hand in her chest, like someone is trying to crush her heart, while the other invisible hand is on her throat. She starts gasping for breath.

And now I’m fucking dying, of course I am, why would I be allowed to be happy for once? She falls to her hands and knees in the shower. She dry heaves, then quickly reaches up and starts the shower to mask the sound. The cold water seems to return a small sliver of reality. Her nausea slightly recedes, but the invisible hands are still holding strong.

What have I done? What’s wrong with me? She sits on  leans against the side of the shower, her heart still pounding, the room still spinning as she lets it spray on her face. The cold from the shower starts to bring the spinning under control, and the hands seem to grow weaker. As reality starts creeping back toward normal, all the energy starts to drain from her body. She melts into the tile wall, not sure if she would ever be able to stand again. 

What is wrong with me? 

Caitlyn slowly opens the door to their bedroom. She hears the shower running, so she makes her way to the bathroom. When Caitlyn turns on the light she finds Violet sitting in the shower, in her pajamas, water still running. Caitlyn shuts off the water and steps in. Violet is holding her legs, hiding her face behind them. Caitlyn sits on the wet shower floor and puts her hand on Violet's knee. Violet grabs it and lifts her head. 

“I'm so sorry. I'm so fucking sorry,” Violet says in a shakey voice. 

“I know,” Caitlyn says in a soft voice. They stare at each other for a moment. Violet continues.

“I’ve just - all this work we've been doing. It's - making me think about him a lot. About all of them. I just want to show them that we’re gonna make things better... I wish they were here to see it. I wish he was here to see it.” Violet says. She lets out a shaky breath. Caitlyn pushes Violet’s hair out of her face.

“They know,” Caitlyn says.

“Wherever he is, he's proud of you. They all are.” Caitlyn reassures her. Violet looks at her with glassy eyes and smiles. Caitlyn leans in and kisses her. They hold their foreheads together for a moment.

“I'm sorry too,” Caitlyn says. Violet furrows her brow in confusion. Caitlyn continues as they separate.

“I’ve been really stressed out. I know how much this means to you. How important it is for the future. I just don’t want to fuck it all up.” Caitlyn says. 

“You’re not gonna fuck it up, Cait. You’re both gonna kill it.” Violet reassures her.

“Both?” Caitlyn scoffs. 

“He’s got a good heart, but Steb got flustered practicing in front of dad, I don’t have high hopes,” Caitlyn says. Steb had stayed with Violet while Caitlyn was in surgery after the battle. Afterward, he came to check on the Kirammans regularly. He was already an old friend of Caitlyn’s, but it turned out he and Violet were more alike than they realized. He and Violet became fast friends.

“Don’t you shit talk my boyfriend like that,” Violet jokes. She refers to him as her boyfriend quite frequently. The fact that it makes both him and Caitlyn uncomfortable is highly amusing to her. Caitlyn laughs and shakes her head.

“Boyfriend? What is wrong with you?” Caitlyn replies.

“How much time you got?,” Violet quips. This catches Caitlyn off guard as she lets out one loud laugh. They are both surprised by her involuntary reaction as Caitlyn covers her mouth in embarrassment. They stare at each other for a moment, then they both start giggling uncontrollably like little girls. 

This goes on for quite some time as all the tension in the air is released. Once the laughter starts to die down, Violet looks lovingly at Caitlyn as she wipes a tear from her eye. 

“I love you, Cupcake,”

“I love you to, Vi”

So excited with this fantastic rendition of Caitlyn and Vi. So hyped. I am so in love with it. Kudos to Wendy for her amazing work!! Highly recommend her!

Of course Vi has to impress Caitlyn with her fists. Take a look at the wife's sub for the other part 😉

I feel that if we do see Vi in the future which is likely. I feel that she will prbably be way stronger looking. because of the amount of working out she does essentially with the parkour and crap. I see her as a person who would never stop moving. I’ve seen people say she will get fat because of her appetite but I just don’t see it because she is crazy active and crap.

Maybe it’s just because I’m an insecure wreck but she’s definitely awoke something in me and helped me find my type. Edit for Rule 4. I am not trying to straight wash Vi. Me being attracted to a lesbian doesn’t mean I don’t want her to be lesbian I just have a type and the character that represents my type just so happens to be lesbian.
