I don’t remember seeing a character created for such a specific niche as Arcane Caitlyn, that girl was carved by Artemis herself to please lesbians around the world. Don’t get me wrong, Vi is my favorite character ever and everything about her being a butch lesbian screams PERFECTION and Vi is also beautiful, sassy, funny, caring, cute and everything that makes her acceptable for almost everyone.
But Cait? She’s socially awkward, beautiful beyond belief, strong, she doesn’t ask for permission, she doesn’t care what people think of her, except her girlfriend, unapologetically horny, autistic coded, terrible timing for jokes, doesn’t realize when she’s flirting, pure lesbian material, prince and princess vibes.
How about one where cait or vi was so stressed and tired from work or something and reader just wanted to play but instead cait or vi accidentally lashed out on her and she ran out of the room to her bedroom and started crying and started to think that maybe her mom doesn’t love her anymore or something, in the end cait or vi apologize to reader, they made up and cuddle or play together

A/N: Part two of Motherly Love.
The sun had barely dipped below the horizon, painting the house in soft, dusky light. Dinner had been eaten, dishes half-done, and the usual hum of warmth filled the home. But something was different tonight. The weight of the day had settled heavily on Caitlyn’s shoulders, her normally pristine posture sagging ever so slightly as she worked through a pile of paperwork at the kitchen table. Her brow was furrowed, her movements sharp, a quiet tension radiating from her.
Vi wasn’t home yet, stuck with her own share of responsibilities. That left you, five years old and bursting with energy, darting around the living room with Bunny in one hand and a superhero cape tied around your neck.
You didn’t notice Caitlyn’s tight jaw or the way her sighs grew heavier each time her pen scratched across the paper. You only saw your mommy—your kind, brilliant mommy who could do anything—and you wanted her attention.
“Mommy!” you called, skipping into the kitchen. Bunny bounced against your side, his floppy ears trailing behind you. “Mommy, look! I’m a superhero!”
Caitlyn didn’t look up. “That’s wonderful, darling,” she said absently, her tone clipped.
Undeterred, you twirled in place, your cape fluttering behind you. “Mommy, did you see? Did you see how fast I can go?”
Another sharp sigh escaped her lips. She set her pen down, finally glancing at you. Her smile was thin and tired. “I see, sweetheart. But I’m very busy right now. Why don’t you play in the living room for a while?”
“But I want to play with you,” you insisted, bouncing on your toes. Bunny jostled in your hand as you held him up toward her. “Bunny wants to play too! Please, Mommy?”
“For the love of—darling, not now!” she said sharply, her voice louder than you’d ever heard it. “I have so much to do, and I can’t focus with you underfoot! Just go to your room for a little while!”
Her words hit you like a gust of cold wind. Your small frame stilled, your wide eyes shimmering with unshed tears. Bunny dangled limply in your grip.
“Go on,” Caitlyn said, her tone softer but still firm. “Please, darling. I just need some quiet.”
Without another word, you turned and ran. Bunny’s ears trailed behind you as you bolted down the hallway, your small feet thumping against the floor. Caitlyn called your name only a minute after you ran, but you didn’t stop.
In your room, you curled up on your bed, Bunny clutched tightly to your chest. The superhero cape now felt silly, like it didn’t belong to you anymore. You buried your face against Bunny’s soft fur, the first sob breaking free as your mind spun with unfamiliar and frightening thoughts.
Mommy’s mad at me.
She doesn’t love me anymore.
Maybe I’m too annoying, maybe she wishes I wasn’t here.
The tears came faster, soaking Bunny’s fur as you squeezed him tighter, your chest heaving with hiccupping breaths.
Back in the kitchen, Caitlyn sat frozen, her head in her hands. The echo of her raised voice played on a loop in her mind, each repetition sharper than the last.
She sighed deeply, rubbing her temples as guilt clawed at her chest. What was I thinking, snapping at her like that?
Vi walked through the door moments later, her boots clunking softly against the floor. She took one look at Caitlyn’s face and frowned. “Hey, cupcake. You alright?”
Caitlyn shook her head, her eyes tired and full of regret. “I-I snapped at her, Vi. She wanted to play, and I just, I yelled. She ran off crying, and now—” Her voice wavered.
Vi’s face softened. “Hey, hey. We all have rough days. But you know what you gotta do, right?”
Caitlyn nodded, already standing. “I need to fix this.”
Your sniffles had quieted, though tears still clung to your lashes when Caitlyn pushed open your bedroom door. She found you curled up on the bed, your little body trembling slightly as you hugged Bunny close. The sight made her heart ache.
“Darling?” she said softly, kneeling beside your bed.
You peeked at her through red-rimmed eyes, your lip trembling.
“Oh, sweetheart,” Caitlyn whispered, reaching out to gently touch your shoulder. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to shout. I had a hard day, but that’s no excuse for being unkind to you.”
You sniffled, your voice small. “You don’t love me anymore?”
Caitlyn’s heart shattered. She scooped you into her arms, holding you close as tears filled her own eyes. “Oh, no, my darling. Never. I love you more than anything in the world. You are my sunshine, my heart, my everything.”
Your tiny hands clung to her shirt as you buried your face in her neck. “Really?”
“Really,” she promised, her voice firm and full of love. “I’m so sorry for making you feel otherwise.”
Vi appeared in the doorway, her usual grin softened into something warm and comforting. “Hey, squirt,” she said, stepping inside. “You okay?”
You nodded slowly, still snuggled against Caitlyn.
“Good,” Vi said, ruffling your hair gently. “Wanna know a secret? Your mommy’s a superhero too. She just had a tough mission today.”
You pulled back slightly, looking up at Caitlyn with wide eyes. “Really?”
Caitlyn smiled, wiping a tear from your cheek. “Really. But the only thing I want to do now is spend time with my favorite hero. What do you say? Forgive me?”
Your bottom lip wobbled again, but this time it was followed by a small, teary smile. “Okay, Mommy. I forgive you.”
The three of you ended up back in the living room, the paperwork forgotten. Caitlyn and Vi worked together to build you a brand-new superhero cape out of an old scarf, complete with Bunny-sized accessories so he could join in your adventures.
When bedtime finally rolled around, you were nestled between them on the couch, Bunny tucked safely under your arm. Caitlyn smoothed down your hair while Vi traced gentle circles on your back.
“Love you, Mommy,” you murmured sleepily.
“Love you, too, darling,” Caitlyn whispered, pressing a kiss to your forehead.
“Love you, squirt,” Vi added, her voice soft and warm.
And in the safety of their arms, you drifted off to sleep, knowing without a doubt that their love was as strong as ever.
A love that stayed, no matter what.
A/N: yes, this part also had another falling asleep ending, but only because I wanted to tie the last line with the title.
chat do you know what's absolutely heart breaking to think about?
vi, after the battle and LOSING HER SISTER AND ONLY FAMILY LEFT, finding caitlyn, who she JUST got back, JUST shared her body with, barely breathing after her fight with ambessa. i'm sure mel wouldn't have left her there, but caitlyn was STABBED and BEAT UP and MISSING AN EYE and EXHAUSTED and WORN and recently BETRAYED (ginger bitch) and actively BLEEDING OUT. the panic that would fill vi's veins would be akin to DRUGS.
imagine the PAIN cait was in. she would either be with mel or ALONE. what if she thought she was dying, alone? MY GIRL DIDNT DESERVE THIS
i need a hurt/comfort fic where vi finds cait and gets her to help and stays with her til she's better and maybe even picks out cait's eye patch bc don't tell me vi wouldn't find that shit cool
