    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

    ”This is Vi,” Powder speaks up before Vi gets a chance. “She’s my sister.”
     
    “You think I’m your sister,” Vi corrects her. The kid rolls her eyes. Caitlyn looks almost like she’s frowning as her eyes dart between them, brow furrowed but her mouth is still very slightly curved upward; definitely a politician.

    “Well,” she says, “that’s certainly a development.”


    When a runaway claiming to be family shows up at Vi’s doorstep, what should have been a simple task bringing the kid back ends up changing her life in ways she never expected.

    The woman hums, eyes taking in Vi’s form. “You’re not what I expected a god of war to look like.”

    Vi raises an eyebrow, intrigued. “And what do I look like?” she questions.

    “Soft,” the woman replies, “and… amenable.”

    Or, the soulmate au where Vi is a god and can't help but fall in love with the same mortal over and over again.

    Summary

    “Your last solo album is proof enough that Jinx was Powder-Keg’s writer and you were simply the front man; there’s nothing wrong with that. I don’t need you to be a songwriter, I have hundreds of those at my disposal. I need your voice, your stage presence and your star power. Can you do that for me?” 

    Vi was still busy deciding whether or not to be offended when the question was posed, so it took her a moment to answer, “I guess.”
