caitlyn kiramman really is the perfect character to make into a domme and a sadist bc she would have so much shame and guilt over her own desires bc she would really believe she's some sick deviant for embodying what feels like the absolute worst traits of piltovans by wanting to dominate and hurt the woman she loves more than anything
vi is the perfect character to make into a sub and masochist bc she would have so much shame and guilt over the fact that she wants to be controlled and to receive pain and take orders bc her whole life has been defined by the struggle of being hurt and having her autonomy taken away when she was powerless to stop it
TOGETHER they're an extremely compelling dynamic bc it allows them both to live out these fantasies and desires with someone they trust. caitlyn gets to trust that she's not too much for vi, that vi will tell her what the limits are, that she can relax and let the leash she keeps herself on slip a little because vi has given permission. she does not have to hide what she wants - vi will accept and embrace the parts of her that caitlyn has always found despicable.
vi can trust that she can be vulnerable and ask for what she wants without loosing esteem or being taken advantage of or rejected for it - there is no image she's required to maintain. she can experiment catharsis in letting someone who loves her and respects her make her feel powerless and vulnerable in an environment where vi is actually completely in charge of what happens bc everything caitlyn does is completely and totally at vi's discretion
if we all believe and band together we can write one william fics exploring this 🫴
