Writing Tip To Myself: Try To Sleep On A Finished Chapter Before Posting If It's Late. I Almost Posted

Alright, hoping to have the next chapter out soon of "Low Lays the Devil in Me." This one will be a lot more dialogue-heavy compared to our last super action-packed chapter, but it's necessary for you guys to get some answers. This is the penultimate chapter, though!! Just one more after this next one, and I do think I am going to go with an epilogue, so technically there are 3 more chapters left and we're done with this massive body of work 😱😱

After that, I will maybe write a quick one-shot as a palette cleanser, get a new chapter out for "Tethered," and then post the prologue of the Pirate AU!!

Ch. 9: Revelations and Evolutions "Tethered" CaitVi Fanfic

“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.

"Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic Chapter Nine: The Assignment

“Did you send me on this assignment because I’m from Zaun?” Vi asked, slowly and carefully. Councilor Kiramman seemed a little surprised by the question as blue eyes widened ever so slightly, but then steeled themselves as she answered once she collected herself a split second later with a simple, “yes.” Vi stared at the woman incredulously for a few tense seconds. Then she stood up and ran her fingers through her hair, forcing herself to calm down. “Violet, what’s the matter?” the councilor asked and her gods damned worried tone only managed to anger Vi further. Vi met the councilor’s blue eyes and scoffed at her audacity to be confused. “A moment of honesty?” Vi asked, her fury barely held at bay. The councilor didn’t assure Vi that she could always be honest again. The realization in the woman’s eyes told Vi that the councilor had now caught on to what Vi was really asking. Do you truly want to hear what I have to say? “A moment of honesty,” Kiramman repeated confidently.

Vi is asked to do a strange and potentially dangerous assignment for Councilor Kiramman. Caitlyn has some eye opening experiences. Vi's errand leads to a surprising conversation with the councilor.

Ch. 14: Immovable Objects "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi Fanfic

“Is it true that you have a secret Vault only your bloodline has access to filled with unimaginable wealth? Or is it all just a legend?” She rolled her eyes. Of all the things people wanted to know regarding the secrets of the noble and oldest of Piltover’s Houses, treasure was almost always the first thing they asked about. Predictable, she thought in annoyance. “Why are you so interested in gold, Smeech?” she replied with a low voice. “Shall I tell the Chembarons that you are unhappy with what they pay you?” A low growl from him made her smirk. She heard the whirling of gears and suddenly she sensed that Smeech was very close to her face. “I would like to see you try that kind of wit with the Chembarons.” His voice shuddered in an almost anticipatory, sadistic joy.

Caitlyn, finally, meets the Chembarons.

out of curiosity — do you think you’ll ever do a chapter in Low Lays the Devil in Me or a separate fic detailing Vi’s POV while in Stillwater? (Not that I’m complaining about a Cait-focused fic — she’s my fave character & I love angsty storylines in her POV!)

(also just wanted to say that I absolutely love both fics! they’re easily my comfort fics and one of the best ones i’ve ever read. any time there’s an update it instantly makes my day 🫶)

Hi! I'm so glad you like and I love that it makes your day!!! ❤️💙

I don't know if I'll do a POV chapter of Vi in Stillwater. I do promise that her time in there will not be swept under the rug! I could either do a POV chapter a bit later or do a separate fic like I did for some of the non-Vi centered scenes in "Heart Made of Glass: Perspectives." Since I'm making up 75% of this as a I go long, it's hard to say yes or no explicitly to anything. Not ruling it out, but no promises either.

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.

Petition to make the “post” and “preview” button on ao3’s chapter section in two different places or two different colors or something to differentiate them more. The number of times I’ve almost clicked post instead of preview is a lot 🤣

Ch. 23: Mothers and Daughters "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

Vi watched the two Kiramman women stare at each other for what felt like an eternity. Caitlyn had once mentioned before that while she and Cassandra are very close, their shared stubbornness can lead to more frequent arguments than Caitlyn and her father have. Vi did not want a front row seat to this. She backed away towards the door.  “I’ll give you some privacy. See you tom—” “Stay,” Caitlyn commanded, her eyes never leaving Cassandra’s. “I don’t want her to have the chance to spin this conversation to you in any way that benefits her. I want to hear what she has to say to justify herself in front of you.” Vi didn’t need to look at Cassandra to know that the councilor would tell her to listen to Caitlyn. This is what they’ve been waiting for and they needed to see how far Caitlyn would go for this.

Caitlyn confronts Cassandra.

Again! You killed it! Chapter 8 was magical! What will Caitlyn do? What master plan do you have in stocks for us? I'm super excited for what comes next! And then Vi and Cait reunion just melted my heart. Then seeing Powder being so caring and loving! You have written my 3 favorite characters so beautifully! ❤💙 💜 (Powder Heart)

I’m so glad you loved it 🥰🥰 they’re my favorite 3 characters, too!! I’m excited to see what you guys think about the next chapter!
