Ch. 5: Noxus "Low Lays The Devil In Me" CaitVi Fanfic

"Burglars, Books, and Balconies" CaitVi One-shot FanFic

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.

Ch. 24: Unmoored "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

“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.”

Ch. 4: Lessons "Tethered" CaitVi Fanfic

Caitlyn’s reverie of Vi’s attractively full lips was interrupted by Grady. “Miss Kiramman, shall I call in your art tutor, and she can have you begin a lesson in still life drawing with Miss Vi as your first subject?” Vi snickered as she watched a mortified Caitlyn blush from her neck to her hairline. She briefly fantasized about asking her mother to fire Grady. “I’m sorry, Professor. I promise I’ll focus,” she said in a strained voice. Vi continued to quietly laugh at her embarrassment, and Caitlyn clenched her jaw to resist the urge to growl in frustration.

Caitlyn learns what it’s like to live with a roommate, and Vi is forced to attend Caitlyn’s school lessons.

One big one it was. Sorry, the poll doesn’t have a time shorter than a day on it and I definitely wanted this out today.

Low Lays the Devil in Me Question

Question! This chapter for Noxus is suuuuper long. Like, so far is over 20,000 words and I still have one big conversation to wrap up and some descriptions and supplemental scenes and then I'm done. Should I split this mini-book into two chapters (Noxus Part 1 and Noxus Part 2) or keep it as one big chapter?

Ch. 8: Tentative Trust "Tethered" CaitVi Fanfic

Caitlyn rolled her eyes. “Gods, you can be quite dramatic sometimes.” Outrage filtered through the tether, but then gave way to shock when Caitlyn reached out and laid her hand over Vi’s, which she could just make out in the dark. “What the hell are you doing, Kiramman?” Vi asked. Caitlyn felt Irelia sigh contentedly, and the pulling stopped. “Compromising with the tether,” she answered. “I don’t know about you, but I’m exhausted after today and would like to sleep instead of fighting it. I’m not saying we should let it do what it did last night, but maybe this will tide it over.” Vi hummed uncertainly, but Caitlyn felt her relax against the mattress again. “Fine. But the little parasite better not try anything.” Caitlyn tutted in disapproval at the nickname. “You’re incorrigible.”

Vi opens up to Caitlyn as they take an important step towards trusting each other.

When you make really long sequel to a really long fic, sometimes you make a small continuity error 😬 I fixed a tiny thing at the end Ch. 16 of "Low Lays the Devil in Me." I forgot Caitlyn had never actually been to the Sumps, she went to the level above it. Oops.

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.

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 finally posted my CaitVi pirate AU after months of talking about it, and AO3 goes down/is being hella slow 😂😭 classic

Thank you for creating tethered! Is there a planned sequel to it?

You’re welcome! It’s been very fun to write and I’m glad you and others have enjoyed it.

I don’t have any plans for one. Not that there couldn’t be, but I already have the ending planned out and it’ll be closed up pretty well.

But never say never!
