Low Lays The Devil In Me Question

If you still were looking at different prompts for your writing challenge, here's one:

A scene from a reverse au in a modern setting. A zaunite Caitlyn and a piltovan Vi's first meeting (whether they swapped in a way that makes Vi a Kiramman + Cait Vander's kid or if The kirammans are zaunite and Vi and Co are piltovan is up to you). Possibly in a bar where Caitlyn is the bartender

Forgive me if the prompt is not written in a way that makes the most sense, I was struggling with how to word it as I haven't really written a prompt before.

I shall take it into consideration! Still not 100% sure if I'll even write a one-shot, but I am open to it. Thanks for the prompt!!

Now that a dumb work emergency is over with, I can tackle this beast. This fucking bad boy is 12,300 words long. I got my emotional support Panda Express on the way and I'm going to try to get this beast edited before I leave for work in a few hours.

“And how is the councilor?” Vi asked carefully.  “Well, currently, she is sleeping off the excessive amount of brandy she consumed last night,” he said with a sad smile. “However, when she wakes up, I’m sure she’ll be quite distraught. Even though she knew this was coming, I don’t believe that prepared her for how devastating this fight with our daughter would be.” “It was for Caitlyn, too,” Vi admitted quietly. She rubbed at her forehead and sighed, a sense of despair creeping up. Tobias was contemplatively quiet as he dished up two bowls of soup and brought them over to the island. He sat down on the stool next to her. “My wife and daughter are very similar,” he stated, “and that includes how they deal with their anger. They can be cruel, cutting, and even vengeful, if their wrath is powerful enough. However, despite what they both may feel or worry about right now, Caitlyn is incapable of truly hating her mother. Right now, in her anger, I’m sure she thinks she does. But she is so angry partially because she loves her mother so much. They have a bond that even I do not fully understand and I honestly believe that, one day, Caitlyn will forgive Cassandra. It will be hard work, but the Kiramman women are nothing if not resilient.”

The morning after Caitlyn confronted Cassandra.

Here it is!

I swear on Janna I'm not abandoning Low Lays the Devil in Me, but I have to write a CaitVi one shot inspired by this. I'm already 3000 words into it and it really only will a one shot. Think of it as like a little balm to the angst in Low Lays the Devil 😂😂

“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.

I just had a revelatory idea for Low Lays the Devil in Me and I am super inspired to write but my poor hands need a break after the looooong one shot I wrote in 24 hours. God damn it. 😂

I am feeling things. *screams into a pillow*

Maybe one day I’ll do an AU where Felicia lives and Caitlyn meets her. What a dynamic that would be

I've noticed a bit of a trend with my fics where, in terms of in-story time frames, Caitlyn and Vi fall for each other in a short time and I'm like "hmm, should I have made it longer to be more believable?" But then I remember the time they spent together in S1 was probably no more than 24-48 hours and these gay ass bitches were asking "what about us?" by the end of those few days and we ate it up like goblins 😂

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).
