Summary
“Now, I have to tell you… she wore out one painter before you.”
Vi’s brow furrows. “How so?” She can’t keep the question at bay.
Cassandra looks down at her tea. “To put it simply, she refused to pose. He never saw her face.”
Vi sits up a little straighter, concern tightening her muscles.
“Why won’t she be painted, exactly?” The image of the smudged face barrages her, filling her vision with blue and gold.
“She refuses this marriage,” she replies sternly, lines etched along her brow. Cassandra glances up to her own wedding portrait before meeting Vi’s gaze again. “You must paint her without her knowing.”

When Caitlyn Kiramman refuses to be painted for her arranged wedding portrait, Vi is commissioned to paint her in secret at Holdrum estate (The Portrait of a Lady on Fire au)

Summary
Vi peels the tape and unfolds the sheet—lined, torn from a spiral notebook. Her hands shake, fingertips almost as pale as the paper, a flush across her wind bitten nose and cheeks. She grips it tight in her fist and reads it over.
Dearest Neighbor,

Summary
Caitlyn Kiramman is an instructor, principal dancer, and on the board of shareholders at Piltover School of Dance, a renowned dance academy owned by her parents. She's spent her whole life training, working, and doing everything right, but something has changed. Her love for contemporary dance and traditional form is failing, and she's willing to try anything to rekindle her love for dance.
Vi is a coach and soloist at Lanes Academy, a nonprofit urban dance collective dedicated to bringing art to the streets of the Undercity. When Caitlyn decides she wants to delve into the world of hip-hop and street dance, Vi finds herself at the crossroads of years of trauma brought on by the Kirammans and their school, fighting feelings for the one woman she can't let herself have.
Will they find the music in each other, or will they crumble?

Summary
May I ask you something?
Vi grabbed her phone off of the kitchen counter to respond.
sure cupcake. shoot
The dots that meant Caitlyn was typing popped up.
Disappeared.
Vi’s other eyebrow joined the first.
It was fucking weird Caitlyn was hesitating to ask her anything.
A few seconds later, the dots popped up again.
Vi sighed, starting to type.
well
shit or get off the pot cupcake
Vi laughed, picturing the wrinkle between Caitlyn’s eyebrows as she frowned at Vi’s word choice.
She stuck the last bite of her breakfast in her mouth as the three little dots popped up in the corner of her screen.
Would you consider this “tasteful”?
Vi read the message, her own brow crinkling as she made a confused face at the screen. She started typing “what” but only got as far as “wh–” when an image popped up under the message.
Her best friend had just…
Her best friend had just sent her a fucking nude.
OR
Vi and Caitlyn are best friends, they're completely in love with each other, and a saucy photo feedback request stokes the fire.

Summary
Just a fic that's been on my mind for weeks, based on the prompt:
"During my first tattoo, my artist was a very pretty lady w many tattoos and I winced and then exhaled slowly when she was going over one of my ribs and she said "good girl". My entire body just fucking froze and I stopped breathing" - @FloralSappho on twitter
I think most of you can understand why I needed to write this.
