        Summary: It was quiet as Caitlyn and Vi both processed the information, and then very slowly Vi pointed her finger to Caitlyn, and then to herself, one eyebrow raised up to the buzzed half of her hairline. “Us. Get married.”
A new law in Piltover prevents Zaun convicts from working topside without citizenship. Luckily for Vi, all she and Caitlyn have to do is take the next step of their relationship and get married, securing Vi a place in Piltover.Only problem is, they aren’t in a relationship.

    For all their long history together knowing each other, Jayce had seen Caitlyn angry plenty of times. Furious even. Jaw clenched, hands fisted, pacing and muttering rage, quiet fury, cursing under her breath, cold and frankly unsettling fury. He even witnessed her throwing a glass once.This felt… different.“Seven years!” The Sheriff hissed, fingers digging into the wooden window frame as she leaned against it, staring out at the city from her position in his office. The view was spectacular, one of the tallest buildings overlooking Piltover that let you really take in the majesty of architecture, hlighted in the golden rays of the setting sun. Caitlyn had never cared for it.“Seven f@ck@ng years!” she said again, a hand curling into a fist and striking down on the sill. “She sacrificed so much, gave them everything during that time, and this is how they repay her?”“I was outvoted,” Jayce tried to apologize, voice quiet to try and maintain calm. “The council made their choice. It’s out of my hands.”“The council can kiss my g@dd@mn ass,” Caitlyn said, teeth gritted. Her body tensed, bristled with anger, like a taut rope about to snap… and then her shoulders sagged, her voice lower and calmer when she spoke again. “I know it’s not your fault, Jayce. I’m just so…”She sighed and turned from the window, folding her arms in front of her, brow furrowed in anger and concern. Shaking her head, she looked up to Jayce, her blue eyes narrow with anger and wet with frustrated tears. “It’s not fair.”“I know,” Jayce agreed.”And there’s no recourse? No way we can fight this?””They knew what the consequences were,” Jayce said sadly. “They thought it was acceptable damages. Didn’t want to look like they were favouring anyone by offering exceptions.”Caitlyn said nothing else, but let out a small, defeated sigh. She made a slight motion to move to Jayce, but didn’t actually step forward, a quiet little movement he recognized. One that, even as she stood before him as a thirty-year old woman, still reminded him of that bold and somehow also shy teenager from when they’d first met long ago in her parents halls, asking him a million questions about the world beyond her gilded gates.In the past the motion had meant she’d wanted a hug, was too bound by decorum to ask and was fighting not to. These days, though, she wasn’t much of a hugger, and the gesture was more habit; one that asked for comfort in any shape it took.He placed a hand on her shoulder, squeezing her lightly through the stiff fabric of her Sheriff’s uniform. Her shoulders sagged some more, relaxed as much as resigned.“We should go tell her,” she said, glancing back to the window again. “She’ll need to know as soon as possible.”“Do you want me to be there?” asked Jayce.“Could you?” Caitlyn turned her eyes up him, hopeful. Her smile was a bit wry as she added. “I’d rather, if she has to get upset, you bear the brunt of it.”Jayce laughed, and patted her shoulder as he nodded. “Sure thing. That’s what friends on the Council are for.” Vi tapped her fingers on her little narrow kitchen counter, a rhythmic sound accompanied by the steel coffee maker in front of her gurgling and spitting. She whacked at the side of it, then rapped her knuckles on the top as it let out a particularly large bubbling noise.“I tried to fix it to make it go faster, and that probably made it worse,” she chuckled, listening to the angry hissing coming from inside the little appliance. “Still works fine. Uh, the coffee’s safe.”She turned, leaning against her counter and crossed her arms, shrugging. “I mean, I drink it.”Sitting in the living area of her little studio apartment, in the small L formation of a sofa and ratty armchair, Jayce and Caitlyn just exchanged glances and Caitlyn smiled knowingly. Looking a bit tentative, Jayce cleared his throat.“Uh, maybe I’ll have the tea instead.”“You sure?” Vi asked, glancing at the kettle that was just starting to rumble as it boiled. “Aw sh@t, I don’t think I put enough water in here. One sec.”She turned to grab the kettle and bring it over to the sink, turning the tap on to add more water. As her back was to them, Jayce and Caitlyn exchanged another glance, and Jayce nodded his head expectantly in Vi’s direction.Caitlyn cleared her throat.“Vi,” she began, hesitated, then kept going. “We have something rather important to tell you.”Immediately Vi chuckled, returning the kettle to its stand so it could start to boil anew. “I know you aren’t,” she said, turning and resuming her stance of leaning back with her arms crossed. “But the way you’re saying it sounds like you’re going to tell me you’re getting married.”Both Caitlyn and Jayce grimaced, like they’d smelled something particularly awful.“Vi,” Caitlyn tried again, “it’s about a… a recent law. One that hasn’t gone public or into effect yet, but the council has just passed.”Leaning to the side to grab a couple of grapes from a bowl she had on the counter, Vi popped them in her mouth, slowly chewing. “Law that’s forcing you two to get married?”Jayce bit back a laugh, coughing into a fist to cover it, just as Caitlyn rolled her eyes slightly and firmly said, “Vi, this is serious.”Vi’s teasing smirk vanished at Caitlyn’s tone, and she swallowed. “What kind of law?”“It’s supposed to be a temporary measure, but…” Caitlyn frowned, shook her head. They all knew how restrictions of this measure managed to had add ‘indefinite’ to that ‘temporary’. “I suppose as an incentive to lowering crime rates, the council has decided that no non-Piltovian with a criminal record will be allowed to work or live topside for the foreseeable future.”Vi was quiet, the only sound in the apartment the consistent hum of the fans and an occasional thump from her vents. Caitlyn and Jayce politely waited, watching Vi chew the inside of her cheek as she stared unseeing at the floor, letting her take in the information. After a moment she looked up.“And you’re telling me because…”Neither Jayce or Caitlyn said anything, and Vi hissed out through her teeth. “F@ck.”“I’m obviously going to appeal this,” Caitlyn said firmly, hands folded across her lap. “At least in your circumstances, but there’s a very good chance—““Pfft,” Vi interrupted with a loud snort and eyeroll. “Considering how many times I’ve been dragged there over my ‘property damage’ and ‘lack of decorum’ every six months,” she said with a laugh and exaggerated accent and finger quotes, “they probably wrote this law as a way to get rid of me.”Mouth in a tight line, Caitlyn nodded. “It was probably considered a bonus.”Jayce cleared his throat, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly, and Caitlyn shot him a look. Before he could respond, the kettle began to whistle at a high note, and their attention was turned to Vi moving to turn it off and pour the steaming water into the teapot. Jostling the pot around to get the water and teabag to swirl, she walked it over to place it on a folded tea towel on her coffee table, and then repeated the journey with a teacup that she placed in front of Caitlyn and a coffee mug for Jayce.“So,” Vi began, grabbing a glass carafe of cream, a small container of sugar cubes, and her own coffee-filled mug to bring back with her on her third trip. She sat down beside Caitlyn, and took a sip of her coffee before continuing her thought. “When do I gotta start packing?”Caitlyn was filling her cup with tea when Vi spoke, and she frowned, lowering the teapot as she looked to Vi. “That’s it? You’re not upset?”“I wouldn’t say it like that,” Vi scoffed. “But this is my fault too. So I’ll just find a place to live, figure something out until we get through the paperwork I guess. You’d bugged me about doing it for ages, and now it’s biting me in the ass so…” she trailed off, shrugging.Caitlyn looked appalled. “You can’t move back there. They hate you.””They don’t—“ Vi grimaced, fidgeting with the hot mug in her hands. “No one’s gonna jump me, if that’s what you’re worried about. ‘Sides, might be good, I’ll just be your guy on the inside kinda deal.”“Absolutely not, we’re going to fight this.”“Can we?” Concern softening her expression, Vi place a hand on Caitlyn’s elbow and squeezed. “Paperwork’s your lane, cupcake, but even I know that’s going to be a mess to take ages.”“Citizenship would also take months, maybe years. The Wardens need you now,” Caitlyn insisted. “They need you here.”“They don’t need me,” Vi waved the idea off, leaning back against the armrest of the couch and gesturing proudly at Caitlyn. “They’re a good team. ‘Sides, they still got you.”“And what about what I need?”Vi nudged Caitlyn’s leg with an foot. “C’mon Cait,” she let out a chuckle, warmly affectionate. “Having to make your own tea isn’t all that bad.”Jayce watched this back and forth, between Vi’s soft, teasing smile and Caitlyn’s pinched brow and protesting frown. At the way Vi leaned forward again to put a comforting hand on Caitlyn’s looking all the world like she’s not to be wrenched away from the life she’d worked so hard to settle into, that they both worked so hard for. Vi was missing the point - yes, Caitlyn was capable of running the Wardens without issue, but it was the rest of her life that was about to uprooted. It was almost impossible to see her doing anything without Vi, her closest friend and constant shadow; they were a package deal, well known to the entire city (and well gossiped about). Without Vi, the Sheriff was likely to forget to even eat, the other woman routinely having to remind her when a case absorbed all her attention.Vi might consider herself to be fine, she adapted to any rough terrain, but Caitlyn was going to suffer from losing her.And the Council saw no problem tearing the Sheriff’s life in half.His mug held in front of him, Jayce stirred it absently to get the tea to cool, blinking slowly as he went over information before snapping his fingers, delighted.“Wait.”Both women looked to Jayce, as he waved a finger in the air in thought and a grin slowly spread across his face. “I didn’t think of it before but…” His grin widened, and he chuckled again. “There’s a clause, because there’s always a clause, that has anyone married to a Piltovian before the law passes exempt.”“Married?” Caitlyn repeated. Jayce nodded.“Proxy citizenship. Grandfathered in. Not that they’re not going to let anyone know that before it goes into effect, but not like they made me promise not to say anything. Paperwork takes half the time any citizenship would, by a long shot, do you’d get it in before deadline. It could be your loophole.”It was quiet as Caitlyn and Vi both processed the information, and then very slowly Vi pointed her finger to Caitlyn, and then to herself, one eyebrow half-cocked up to the buzzed half of her hairline. “Us. Get married.”“As a legality. It would let you stay up here,” Jayce pointed out. “At least until we can figure out other ways around it.”The two women stared at Jayce silently for another breath, then glanced to each other and burst out into light laughter and low chuckles. Vi leaned back against the armrest of her couch and snickered into her coffee.Caitlyn cleared her throat to calm her own laugh, shaking her head as she tucked some hair behind her ear. “That’s an interesting strategy, Jayce,” she said with the airs of a teacher congratulating a confidently incorrect child. “Marriage.”“Eh…” Vi scratched at a shoulder thoughtfully and shrugged. “C’mon, it can’t be that easy? Just sign out some papers at the courthouse and then I’m a Piltie?”Caitlyn shook her head. “It’s not that easy, we’d have to prove our relationship, remain married for a period of time… they do have systems in place to prevent this exact sort of loophole.”“That’s to stop people from taking shortcuts by paying strangers to marry them,” Jayce said with a dismissive wave. “You have a good reason.”Caitlyn frowned at the dismissal, shoulders straight like she wanted to argue a different point, but she just shook her head instead. “It would still be illegitimate, it might put her in a worse position for attempting fraud, and then we’d never be able to secure her citizenship. No one would ever believe that we’re in—“ she scoffed. “That’s far too risky.”“Are you sure? Because, from what I’ve heard, half the city already believes you are,” Jayce countered.“They do not,” balked Caitlyn, looking surprised as Vi coughed into her coffee.Jayce didn’t reply, just gave her a knowing look.While Vi thumped at her chest to clear it behind her, Caitlyn rolled her eyes. “Bar gossip you mean, and that hardly helps anything; half the city thinks a giant poro is stalking the sewers.”“Which means,” Jayce leaned forward, looking to her expectantly, “that if a giant poro climbed out of a manhole right now half the city wouldn’t be surprised.”Caitlyn looked unconvinced. “Half the city isn’t deciding Vi’s fate.”Jayce just splayed his hands with a shrug. “Well, it includes half the council believing it. They think that’s why you’re so easy on her.”A red flush bloomed on Caitlyn’s ears even as she looked almost offended. “I am not easy on her.”“They think she’s easy on me?” Vi asked at the same time with a laugh. She whistled and took another sip of coffee. “Hate to see what hard looks like.”Caitlyn scoffed in agreement. “And believability or not, it would be seen as a bit… convenient that we suddenly jumped into marriage when the best evidence is we have leading up is, what? Implication? Won’t they be a bit suspicious we’ve never spoken of it before?”“Okay,” Jayce hummed, scratching at the stubble at his jaw before shrugging and suggesting another idea. “Say you’ve been keeping it private for professional reasons then.”With a thoughtful frown, Caitlyn turned the hot cup of tea in her hands, shaking her head. She poured down to the cup, chewing her bottom lip thoughtfully. “What do you think, Vi?”“Me?”Jayce and Caitlyn both turned to look at Vi, was taking a slow sip of her coffee. She lowered the mug, grimacing slightly at the cup with a bit of puzzlement, and then looked back up to her guests. “I think it’s worth a shot.”Caitlyn hummed. “Are you sure?” she asked, receiving another shrug from her partner. “It could jeopardize things further.”“I mean,” Vi mused, “what he said made sense; there’s already gossip about it, if we need to convince anyone. It wouldn’t be hard for us either, what would really change? We’re friends, we get along good, known each other for years, neither of us seeing anyone right now… so, we sign some papers, toss some flowers and beat them at their own dirty tricks.”“It’s ‘we get along well’,” Caitlyn corrected. “Not ‘we get along good’.”With a bemused expression, Vi just jabbed a thumb at Caitlyn and shot a sidelong grin to Jayce. “See? Already there.”“Marriage,” Caitlyn said, a bit more distantly.“The downside,” Jayce said slowly while holding back the laugh, “is you only have about four weeks before the law goes through, so you have to start the process pretty much now.”Vi puffed her cheeks, exhaling and leaned back on the couch as she absently rubbed a palm against her chest. She looked over to Caitlyn, clicking her tongue. “So what do you think? Ready to get hitched to keep me around?”Caitlyn turned to look at her, her brow furrowed like she was dazed and trying to make sense of where she was. “Marriage,” she repeated. Then she blinked a couple of times, exiting out of the daze and straightening her back. With a slight disbelieving laugh, she nodded.“You’re right,” she said with firm determination. “If they want to try and pull the rug out from under us then we’ll just…” she fumbled for a countering metaphor before saying “… nail it right to floor. Even if it means bending the law a little.”“Has that ever stopped you?” Jayce teased and Caitlyn shot him an unamused look that only made him chuckle.“Wait, we should do this right.”Draining her coffee, Vi wiped her palms on her thighs and then slid off the couch onto her knees on the floor. Propping up a leg so she was only bent on one knee, she held out her hand with a flourish, palm facing toward Caitlyn.“Sheriff Cupcake,” she said with all the seriousness of someone trying not to laugh while Caitlyn looked down at her with a bemused expression, “would you do me the honour of marriage fraud so I can keep bustin’ heads in this fine city?”Jayce covered his mouth to hide his own laugh as Caitlyn rolled her eyes and slapped away Vi’s offered hand with a scoff. “Not when you put it like that,” she scolded.Vi just returned her hand to the position with an impish grin, unfazed by the chiding. She cleared her throat, fought the grin down to a more tightlipped smile, imitating the woman before her. “Caitlyn Kiramman, would you give me your hand, and citizenship papers?”With another eyeroll, and noticeably pink cheeks, Caitlyn placed her hand delicately onto Vi’s calloused palm. Almost instantly Vi took it and gave her a firm shake, to Caitlyn’s amusement.“Alright, I guess that settles it,” Jayce said, raising his mug high and across the little coffee table to the two women. “To the Kirammans,” he toasted with a low chuckle and a grin. “May your marriage be conveniently legally binding.”Vi stood, brushing at her knees and then picking up her mug to join Caitlyn and Jayce in clinking their drinks together in a cheers. She sat back down beside Caitlyn with a sidelong grin, laughing a little as she went to take a drink before realizing she’d already finished her coffee. So instead she resorted to just hide her laugh in her empty mug, eyes still twinkling with laughter as Caitlyn started to ask Jayce about paperwork and forms.'
