After the attack on the Council Tower, Caitlyn and Vi struggle to find their place in the world. The former battles through guilt and grief to become the woman she was always expected to be, while the latter – deprived of her sense of purpose – is determined to do just about anything to feel like she belongs again. The only thing that seems to truly matter is finding the most elusive criminal Piltover has ever known as a way to atone, a way to make amends. But the months go by, Jinx stays missing, and life has to carry on. Perhaps, sometimes, redemption is where you least expect it to be. Perhaps, sometimes, salvation is just an abandoned summer house by the sea, filled with forgotten memories and new beginnings.

The idea for this story came to me when I was on my way to motherhood, before season 2 even came out.

I pitched the plot to my infant daughter during saturday morning walks, and wrote most of it to the sound of waves coming from her night lamp. I hope this story doesn't help you fall asleep like it did for her.

Late one night, Caitlyn and Vi both end up in the library cramming for exams. When Caitlyn's best friend, Jayce, doesn't answer his phone to be Caitlyn's escort across campus in the dark, Vi offers to walk Caitlyn to her car. An insane idea to destress together during a spontaneous and very practical one-night-stand turns into many more nights, studying and de-stressing as tutors-with-benefits. Between Caitlyn's insane Pre-Law class schedule and Vi's commitments to her Engineering degree and her captaincy of the rugby team - and their historic Runeterra University Rugby Championship (RURC) run - Caitlyn and Vi discover that they have a lot more in common than being stressed out of their minds and insanely attracted to each other. Over the course of the school year, they fall in deeper and deeper, finding out in real time that, sometimes, true love can come from anywhere - even as unlikely a place as the Pilt U library at one o'clock in the morning.
