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. 9 spoilers in the art below.
@nogaph has really outdone themselves yet again!!! The moment right before Vi breaks the tether and it broke my heart all over again. So stunning! Please show them some love! It's incredible ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ They even did the mirrored injured knuckles! Love it!
So, I've really started to flesh out the CaitVi Pirate AU. I'm sooooo stoked for it, you guys. It's going to be very different than anything I've written, which means it'll be challenging, but I am chomping at the bit to really get going on it. I don't think I'll wait for "Low Lays the Devil in Me" to be done, so I will probably start posting chapters after I'm done with "Tethered."
I honestly got so caught up in just enjoying writing that I didn't realize I was so close being done with the next chapter 😂 I just have to edit and will hopefully have the next part of Low Lays the Devil in Me up soon!
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.
Sigh. Reminder to myself: I love writing and writing is fun. Lol. I am on my third rewrite of the first few thousand words of the next chapter of Low Lays the Devil in Me. I will probably expand more on it in the endnotes when I publish the chapter but man, it's annoying to do rewrites.
More art from @nogaph of Vi hanging off of Caitlyn's balcony. Look how cute our infatuated "burglar" looks <3 <3
The tattooed burglar swung her legs over the balcony railing with confident, graceful movement and turned so that she was facing Caitlyn. “Thanks again for not shooting me,” she said with a crooked smile. Caitlyn felt her breath hitch ever so slightly at how handsome this burglar was and prayed that the other woman hadn’t heard it. “Thanks for potentially saving my dissertation,” she replied. There was an awkward pause and Caitlyn got the bizarre feeling that the woman didn’t actually want to leave. Caitlyn was surprised that she didn’t want her to leave, either. It lasted only a moment before the stranger lowered herself down partially. She looked up at Caitlyn one more time with a more serious expression. “You should lock your balcony. The next burglar may not be as nice.”

Inspired by this post. I'll get back to writing "Low Lays the Devil in Me" soon, but I think someone needs to take my keyboard away from me because I have a problem. And bring me an ice pack for my poor hands.
Enjoy this 12,500 word indulgence.
“Vi, no. Please. I don’t want you to leave,” she begged with shining eyes. Vi knelt and wiped the tears off her sister’s cheeks. “It’ll be okay, Pow Pow. The scientists are close to figuring out what’s wrong with us, and I’m sure I’ll be back in no time.” The younger girl’s lower lip trembled. “Can I come with you?” Caitlyn’s own heart squeezed in sympathy as Vi sighed. No one was allowed to know about the tether, and Caitlyn knew if it hadn’t been for the Arcane, Vi would bring her sister back to Piltover with her. Now that she could feel how much Vi loved and missed her family, especially Powder, Caitlyn was starting to understand Vi’s resentment of the tether.

Caitlyn experiences Zaun for the first time, and she and Vi begin to understand one another better.
I just powered through your fic and it’s probably up there with my favorites right now. I’m extremely impressed by just how much you’ve written in such a short time. I’m very excited to see more, and also enjoy your take on Cassandra. Probably my favorites right now part tbh.
It means so much to me that you love it so much and that you even took the time to come on here to say this. That is so nice of you 💜💜 you all have just been the best and so supportive!
Caitlyn shrugged. “I don’t really get on with my peers.” “You do with Maddie.” She sighed. “I’ve told you. Maddie and I have an…arrangement. I don’t really have a lot of desire to use what little free time I have for a relationship, at least not with her. She can be fun and she is… experienced, as you’ve inferred.” Vi smirked and did a crude gesture with her fingers that made Caitlyn turn a bright red and Vi laughed. “But she’s better in small doses,” Caitlyn finished. She then looked at Vi hesitantly and slowly asked, “do you want to go to the Copper Kettle?” Vi shrugged. “I’m bored and I’ve been stuck inside for two days. You may not have a lot of free time, but my brothers, sister, and I have to find ways to entertain ourselves every day. I don’t handle boredom well.”

Vi and Caitlyn have their first heart to heart and Caitlyn takes Vi around Piltover.
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!
