black sheep, come home.

there’s a big, wide world outside of beacon hills, and theo and violet keep finding each other in it. 

the first time is right after garrett died (was murdered, taken from her); violet is a fugitive and theo has some friends that can make her uncatchable. he sells her a story about power and how it’s something that has to be taken and she almost buys into it until she sees the things.

(she’s learned from beacon hills; there are some things you can’t kill. so she runs.)

the next time running means into theo is a few years later. violet hasn’t used her garotte since the fbi recognized it as her weapon of choice, so it’s with the gracelessness of a knife that she stabs him, and it’s against her better judgment that she lets him heal. 

violet’s been laying low; theo is doing the same. she’s doing it to avoid getting caught now that there’s no one to come get her (she’d learned her lesson from theo and his doctors, how much harder getting away is when you’re doing it alone); theo claims he’s doing it because he’s changed. she doesn’t believe him. but...

 well. she’s never liked being alone.
