Writing is such a weird hobby. You have these characters in your head that talk to each other and you write down what they say while waiting in the drive thru at McDonald’s because if you don’t you’ll go crazy.
I know I just put out the new chapter for "Tethered," but I'm extra excited for the next one. It's a completely new one, besides the prologue, of this rewrite.
"Normally, stealing from a councilor is a minimum of ten years in Stillwater. However,” she said, ignoring Vi’s choked gasp, “given her age and the fact that she made me aware of Jayce’s illegal research, I have decided to not press charges.” Vander snorted, which obviously threw the councilor off as she raised her brow in surprise at the reaction. “You can’t let word get out that your boy was doing magic with your money and name, you mean, and are hoping for our silence in exchange for her not being carted off to prison,” he stated. Cassandra blinked at his words and Vi could tell she was taken aback at how easily Vander could read in between the lines. She quickly recovered and sat up even straighter, if it were possible. “Yes,” she simply responded. “I would prefer, if possible, to maintain a level of discretion regarding this incident.”

Vander visits Vi at the Kirammans and Vi gets on Caitlyn's nerves.
I’m going to be honest, I was worried I was starting to lose steam/inspiration for “Low Lays the Devil in Me.” It’s probably why I focused on writing “Tethered” for a few chapters. But I forced myself to just take ch. 16 a paragraph at a time on my phone for the last week and then forced myself to sit at my computer yesterday and finish the chapter.
Turns out forcing yourself to write even when you’re not inspired works. I’m now extra excited to keep working on it 🤣
Heyyy I love your fic thank you so much for it
I was just wondering does silco not exist in this universe?
As of right now, no. If that changes, his name will appear in the character tags. Glad you love it! 💜
There were three seconds of shocked silence between the two of them before a protective ferocity unlike anything Caitlyn had ever seen from Pivoni roared behind her dark eyes. Even after a night of facing down enemies who tried to kill her, Caitlyn wasn’t sure she’d ever seen anyone look at her with such fury before. Perhaps it was because she was so tired, or maybe it was the shock at the scene before her that caused Caitlyn to miss Pivoni spring from her chair and suddenly shoved Caitlyn against a wall with a powerful grip on the collar of her shirt as she looked at her with a twisted snarl. “You better have a good reason for being here or I swear to Janna I will fucking kill you,” Pivoni spat and Caitlyn, despite her confident claim to Vi earlier, realized that Pivoni meant it. “I—I didn’t—I—” Pivoni yanked at Caitlyn’s shirt and slammed her against the wall again. “Last chance, Kiramman.”

In the wake of the Battle of Stillwater, Caitlyn gives Pivoni one more chance to side with them before it's too late.
Hmmm. I'm kind of thinking of doing something I haven't done yet and going back to change up something super, super minor about Heart Made of Glass in the very beginning. It wouldn't effect the plot that's already happened at all (or if it does it would be so minor I think some people might not even notice), but it would help amp up the drama ever so slightly for future plans.
Not sure how I feel about changing something I've already posted beyond grammar/spelling errors. If any one who reads "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" would care, let me know. Still pretty on the fence about it.
This is what happens when you start a story and post before knowing where it'll go. So far I've been able to avoid this pitfall, but I'm honestly surprised it hasn't been an issue yet given how quickly and casually I've been throwing the plot together. Besides, I've liked the creative challenge of molding the plot to what I've already written in my "canon" of the fic.
I’m finishing up at work and put my liked playlist on shuffle. Evermore by Taylor Swift comes on and all I can suddenly think about is a divorce AU CaitVi….oooooh noooooo 😬😭 maybe after the pirate AU 🤣
Hi! I just started reading your fic today and I am currently on chapter 20. I just love the way you write Cassandra. I came for the CaitVi but fell in love with Cassandra. I didn't realize you were also on Tumblr so I got even more excited! Thank you for writing and I can't wait to read more :)
Thank you so much! A lot of people seem to like her, which makes me happy 🥰 And holy cupcake did you fly through it if you got through 20 chapters in one day! Haha this is not a short fic. And I don’t post anything on tumblr outside of this, since I made this side blog specifically for this fic, but I will share some ramblings about writing it on here. Welcome aboard 💜💜💜
“I think it wants me to touch the tether.” Caitlyn’s eyes went wide in slight alarm. “I don’t know, Vi. Asking it questions is one thing, but this seems like it could be dangerous.” A soft plea pulled at her sternum, and Vi realized what it had been trying to ask her. She met Caitlyn’s concerned gaze, the Arcane scars in her blue irises glowing. “I think it’s asking me to trust it,” Vi stated carefully.

Vi and Caitlyn finally discuss the tether.
okay but silco is an honest smash
Haha I’ll plead the lesbian fifth on this one 🤣 I’ll admit that Silco has a certain charming bit to him, but if I *had* to pick a male smash in Arcane, I’d probably pick Jayce (only if he’s in his S2 act 3 look/fit though)
