#weeping grabbing vi cursing her saying i care i care i care

[somuchbetterthanthat]

Not be all about Vi and sisterhood today but there is a canon-divergent story, out there, where Vi looses her shit progressively, all alone, and Jinx is still hiding from all that she accidentally became, with Isha, until Isha gets taken (with Sevika, maybe, this time) and Jinx crawls to her sister and she says. please. I don't care you hate me. I don't care you're being a fucking mess right now. If I go on my own I'll jinx it, but the girl - the girl doesn't deserve - you've seen her--

And Vi, of course, was just begging for a purpose back. She can save a little girl and not acknowledge it's because of the terrified look in her little sister's eyes that she'll mess it up. Can't admit herself (not at first, at least) that she's been messing it up, too. Time and Time again.

But they go, together, and it turns out they work well, together, and if Vi's throat is all closed up when she sees Jinx and Isha reunite, well. Or when she sees the way people react to JINX. The slap in her face. Which means of course that when the "beast" shows up she's the one who tells Jinx go out. They have a full minute or arguing where Vi is like "you can't die." and Jinx is all like "you were going to kill me two months ago, sis!" and Vi is like "I was wrong. And besides, it's beyond you and me now. You're too... You're just too important. To the Undercity. I'm not. I'm not important to anyone."

and THAT slaps JINX in the face but then Vi looks at Sevika and Sevika agrees so she grabs both Isha and Jinx and Jinx yells and screams but the beast is there, and well, you know.

Vander recognizes his daughter, etc. etc.
