Now That A Dumb Work Emergency Is Over With, I Can Tackle This Beast. This Fucking Bad Boy Is 12,300

hi!! i just want to say how much i love Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone!!! it’s literally the perfect fic and i’m not even exaggerating! i was just wondering how old cait and vi are? i’m assuming it’s the ages they were in ep1 but i always find myself imagining their present self LOL anyways great work as always, im so excited for what’s next :)

Aw you’re so sweet 💜 thank you. They are 17, so slightly older than the first episode. I imagine them a little in between. Vi’s adult hair but not as muscular from beating people up in jail and Caitlyn not as much lean muscle since she’s not an Enforcer. Hope to get the next one out soon. I’m really excited to see what you guys think about this next chapter in particular!

Ch. 10: With Friends Like These "Tethered" CaitVi Fanfic

“Pretty snazzy,” Vi said as they neared the door, hearing the sound of laughter, music, and conversation inside. Caitlyn snorted. “If that’s the word you want to use.” “And what would you call it?” “Gaudy.” Vi mimicked her snort. “Pot, meet kettle.” Caitlyn clicked her tongue behind her teeth. “While my family and I don’t hide the fact that we are wealthy, at least we don’t shove it in everyone’s faces.” “Your front yard has two massive water fountains that are the size of the one-room basement my family lives in, princess. You have a wrought iron gate surrounding your castle that literally separates you from the rest of Piltover,” Vi replied with the most condescending tone Caitlyn’s heard from her yet.

Lore List for "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" Fic

Below the "Keep Reading" line, I've uploaded a screenshot of the list of lore/world building that I've changed or expanded on from the show. I've wanted to do this for a while, but now that the fic is almost done, I don't think I'll have to add anything to it. For anyone caught up, none of this is spoiler-y if you do read it. I explain the purpose of the list in the screenshot. This is now placed in the Chapter One notes with the link to the map. If you haven't read/aren't caught up, the spoilers are not really that bad, but avoid if you like going in completely blind. I just know that some people might appreciate knowing this before reading to help understand it better.

Literally what happened for Heart Made of Glass 🤣

would he fucking say that? let's investigate.

GimmeTheFeels lived up to their name in a wonderful gifted fic to me centered on my OC Emir from “Heart Made of Glass.” You’d need to read my fic to fully appreciate it, but he is the Kiramman’s butler and I loved his relationship with Vi so much. I am honored he captured people’s affection to the point that one of you wrote a fic about him 😭

Please read and leave a kudos and comment! It’s so good.

Ch. 22: Clean Slate "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic (for real this time)

“I have a message and a warning,” Vi eventually said, her voice even and strong. It helped that she actually believed in what she was about to say.  Vander shifted his body and expression at his daughter’s tone. Vi blinked and suddenly before her was not her father, but the Hound of the Underground. She refused to let that intimidate her. “Sounds serious,” he said, pulling out his pipe and lighting it.  Vi met his gaze, unwavering. “Blisters and bedrock serious.” Vander stared at Vi for several moments. Blisters and bedrock. A phrase her mother and Vander would say to each other that went back to their mining days. They used it only when what they were discussing was as serious as it could possibly be. It was a plea for trust, a cry for understanding, and warning to be honest. It was never, ever meant to be used lightly, then or now. To do so would break Vi and Vander’s trust in each other and stain their shared memories of her mother and his best friend.

Vi sets up the meeting between Cassandra and Vander. Caitlyn shows Vi something she's been working on.

The way I am enjoying writing this next chapter in "Low Lays the Devil in Me" about the Chembarons is almost worrisome. This is almost as much fun to write as Vi's extraction chapter.

The fact that I am behind Critical Role’s new Calamity series should tell you how much of a choke hold Low Lays the Devil in Me has on me

Ch. 27: Short Change Hero "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

She felt as if something in her mind turned off. Vander was here. He would make everything better. He always does. She stood up to go to him, but caught herself on the counter as a wave of dizziness hit her like an airship. “Vi? You’re covered in blood!” he exclaimed in horror. “I think I—I think I hit—” Vi stuttered, the room spinning more and more and her vision became spotted. The dull throbbing in the back of her head she had been ignoring for the last thirty minutes began to suddenly get worse. She felt Vander’s fingers run through her hair and pulled them back, crimson staining his hand. “I think I hit my head,” she muttered. Her eyes rolled back and her world turned black.

The aftermath of the face off with Deckard.

So it’s been an insane week at work and I haven’t had much time to write Low Lays the Devil in Me. Hopefully I can get some done tomorrow and Tuesday (my weekend) 🤞🏻🤞🏻
