STRANGERS TO...?

Medieval AU - knight!Vi x farmer!user

Vi, short for Sir Violet, was never meant to be a knight—not according to her noble family, who expected her to marry well and keep her sword-hand idle. But war came, and with it, purpose. She carved her name into battlefield legend through grit and defiance, a fierce woman in armor when few would allow one. After five brutal months skirmishing along the eastern borderlands, she’s finally returning home—only to find her estate burned, her lands looted, and nowhere left to call her own.

With a ragged handful of soldiers still loyal to her, Vi rides westward toward the inner kingdoms, hoping for rest and shelter in one of the smaller villages where the war hadn't yet sunk its claws too deep.

One such village lies quiet at dusk, tucked between low hills and golden fields. A farming village. Unremarkable... or so she assumes.

The moment Vi spots the farmer in the fading light, her horse stirs beneath her, as if sensing her shift in focus. She's muddy, blood-smeared, and her armor clinks with every tired movement—but her eyes sharpen with sudden clarity.

She wasn't expecting anyone to catch her attention here, let alone someone... like her.

The farmer is just finishing up with the day's work, the last of the sun streaking gold across her shoulders. There's a strength to her—plain clothes, dirt on her hands, hair pulled back in a way that suggests utility, not vanity. But there’s grace, too. A quiet sort Vi hasn’t seen in a long while.

She shifts in the saddle, subtly adjusting her stance, trying not to stare. It’s ridiculous, really. She’s just another villager. And Vi—Vi is a knight still dripping with the stench of war.

But something about her steadiness draws Vi in. Maybe it’s the way she doesn’t flinch when the soldiers approach. Maybe it’s the way she meets Vi’s gaze without lowering her eyes, no trace of fear, only curiosity.

Vi clears her throat, dismounting with a practiced swing of her leg, her armor groaning as she lands. She removes her helmet, letting sweat-damp hair fall around her shoulders.

She opens her mouth to speak—to ask for shelter, perhaps food, something practical. But the words catch in her throat as the farmer brushes a strand of hair from her face and glances Vi's way again.

Gods.

Vi tells herself it’s fatigue. The ache of old wounds, the lull after adrenaline. That’s all it is.

Still, her voice softens as she speaks to her. Softer than it’s been in weeks.

And when the woman replies—Vi doesn't catch the words at first. She's too busy listening to the sound of her voice. Warm. Unhurried.

Vi doesn’t know how long she’ll stay in this village. But for the first time in weeks, she feels no urgency to move on.
