Okay, I Know I Don't Owe Anyone Any Explanations, But I Do Like To Keep You All In The Loop. I Am Having

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!

CaitVi fic--Chapter 8: A Meeting of the Minds

Chapter Summary: Vander has to leave for a few days and Vi needs to bring Powder with her to Jayce's. Caitlyn opens up a little to Vi.

In order to avoid time in Stillwater Prison, Vi must complete community service after getting caught stealing from Jayce Talis, the protégé of the wealthy and intelligent Councilor Cassandra Kiramman. Instead of spending her nights working at The Last Drop and her days looking after her siblings in Zaun, she now has to be the errand girl to one of the most powerful people in Piltover. However, Vi soon realizes that something isn’t right. What secret project is Jayce working on? Why does the councilor keep sending Vi on strange assignments? And why won’t Caitlyn Kiramman leave Vi alone about what life is like in Zaun? Something is festering in the underbelly of both cities and Vi is beginning to suspect that the Kirammans know more than anyone realizes. OR A story of what could have happened if Hextech was never invented (with some liberties taken with both LoL and Arcane canon).

I'm sitting down to continue writing the next chapter of "Tethered," and I am thinking about how interesting these cities are, and I really want to DM a D&D campaign in this setting. Just a cool, low magic steampunk era setting. I could homebrew some interesting ways shimmer could be integrated into the system as a potion that is both awesome and terrible for you. I know some homebrew campaigns have been made, maybe one day I'll check them out or just make my own. Gotta tackle my epic saga campaign first!

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.

can’t believe the duology’s over! I’m getting the same bittersweet feeling I get when a great book is over 🥹 honestly some of the best writing & plots I’ve ever come across in fanfics and definitely one of my absolute caitvi faves. I loved Cait’s POV and all the angst & action in the second fic, and now bc of your Cassandra I struggle to read fics that dont make her out to be a good mom 😭 You’re an amazing writer and I can’t wait for Tethered and all your other fics! I’m now downloading your works as epubs so I can keep & reread them in my kindle 🥰

I knoooow it's insane. It's been such a short time (barely even six months) since I first posted. I'm so happy to hear you've enjoyed the story, and thank you for the kind words! It was an incredible experience to write it, and I am so excited to dive back into Tethered and introduce you guys to the Pirate AU :D <3

All Hail Queen Cassandra!

I'm still alive!! I'm going to power through this little slump I've been in. Needing to rewrite the first few thousand words of the next "Low Lays the Devil in Me" 3 times was pretty disheartening and, honestly, where I live just got out of a brutal winter and into a very depressing spring, so I had a bit of S.A.D. the last few weeks. However, it's now beautiful summer-like weather outside, I am bathed in sunlight, and I am going to get through this next chapter. Hopefully I can make it good and not take my frustration out on the quality of the writing.

Thanks for the patience, everyone!! I really appreciate that none of you have been mean about what has been the longest time between updates ❤️❤️

“Then why haven’t we recruited him?” Caitlyn demanded. “Why keep up this charade if he’s apparently not one of the corrupt ones?” “We’ve been over this, sweetheart. It legitimizes your cover. Mohan’s responses to your actions will help sell them. We need Marcus to believe you’re willing to become a corrupt Enforcer and if your partner who is the poster boy for anti-corruption continues to be angry with you, then it will help speed things along,” Cassandra explained. “He also has plausible deniability if you are found out.” “Not to mention, other than the safety of you, Vi, and Sevika, there is nothing more important than your cover remaining a secret. Are you willing to risk the entire operation on whether or not Mohan can keep his mouth shut?” Grayson asked.

For the first time, Mohan unexpectedly pulls rank on Caitlyn.

Posting cuz I can’t be the only person who hadn’t thought of this. If you toggle the speak screen option under accessibilities on an iPhone, you can put your fanfic in reader mode or download it and have Siri read it to you with the screen off. As someone who doesn’t need to use this feature, I just never put it together until I started writing fanfiction again after an 8 year break.

It’s not exactly like an audiobook in that, for example, Siri can’t tell when a word like “okay” should sound bright and happy or serious and reluctant, so it can be jarring. But it’s super handy for writing as it will help you finding missing or repeated words or help you come up with ideas while you’re driving or something. It’s amazing! I feel dumb I never thought of it sooner.

I mean...there's a reason why 3 of my major fics are them meeting 2 seconds after this very moment...

Ch. 21: From Dust "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi Fanfic

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.
