Ch. 7: Extraction "Low Lays The Devil In Me" CaitVi Fanfic

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 ❤️❤️

9000 words and counting 😭😬🤣

CaitVi Fic Update

So, I said in the last chapter notes that this next one might take me a while because it's going to be beefy. I'm 6000 words in and I don't even think I'm halfway 😭😬🤣 thank god I'm a fast typer lol

I’m finishing up at work and put my liked playlist on shuffle. Evermore by Taylor Swift comes on and all I can suddenly think about is a divorce AU CaitVi….oooooh noooooo 😬😭 maybe after the pirate AU 🤣

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.

Orion go brrrr

Yeah fuck that guy 😡

crying. Shaking. Throwing up.

Hi Caitlyn Kirammans.I've read chapter 14 of "Low Lays the Devil in Me," and there's a threatening line Smeech gives Caitlyn about damaging one of her eyes before she takes her to meet the Chembarons, which really caught my attention.

Later in the story, will Caitlyn get her eyepatch? How did it happen at the end of "Arcane?"

I saw your posts on your Tumblr account and you showed me a soundtrack to accompany the story of "Low Lays the Devil in Me" (very interesting, actually ☺️). So:

Would you put up a soundtrack album to accompany readers while they read "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone"? (If you're interested)

Greetings ♥️♥️

I won’t say if she gets the eyepatch cuz I honestly don’t know yet. Given that Jinx and Caitlyn are parallel characters in the show, this scene fits Caitlyn well, even if it’s directly inspired by the one with Smeech and Jinx in season 2. So I haven’t decided yet if Caitlyn still loses her eye.

The link below is what I listened to a lot of while writing “Heart Made of Glass.” I have a YouTube premium account so I’ll listen to stuff like this a lot on a loop.

Ch. 17: To the Brink "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi Fanfic

“Sons territory,” Caitlyn muttered, referring to the only other gang in Zaun that warred with the Chembarons for control of the Sumps. “What’s another way to get to where you need to go?” “This is the only way,” Corina stated with an air of indifference. Caitlyn turned to give the woman a hard stare. “Miss Veraza, I cannot in good conscience lead you through there. If the Sons find out that a Chembaron walked through their territory—” “Then we better not let any of them see me,” Corina interrupted with a smirk. Caitlyn felt her chest grow so tight she almost couldn’t breathe. Corina had no mask and only had a hood to disguise herself. If anyone recognized her… No witnesses, Caitlyn thought as what Corina was telling her filled her with a cold horror.

Caitlyn and Corina make their way through the dangerous Sumps of Zaun and Caitlyn finds out how far she’s willing to go to protect her cover.

Hello again Caitlyn Kirammans, it's me, the one with the questions. I thank you for answering me yesterday (or 2 days ago) for the questions about your story Low Lays the Devil in Me and the future of it.

I still have some doubts about it like:

Low Lays the Devil in Me takes place in 2 scenarios which are the corruption in the Piltover Council with Caitlyn and the Shimmer cover-up in Stillwater Prison with Vi (if I remember correctly, correct me if I'm wrong🤔) and Sevika will be Vi's partner in the prison.

1: Will Sevika have some relevance in Stillwater's story and her relationship with Vi? (maybe inspired by Orange the New Black if you know the series or how it happens inside the prisons)

2: Will there be some romance as Sevika x OC?

3: Are you a League of Legends veteran?

4: Will you make fanfics from other fandoms in the future or exclusively from arcane?

greetings✋✋✋

Hello! I am happy to answer questions 😁 and you are right. Vi is focusing on getting evidence of shimmer production in Stillwater and Caitlyn is focusing on Corina and the Chembarons’ influence on the Council.

1. I do have serious plans for Sevika. This first bit of the story unfortunately with her and Vi in prison, we don’t get to interact with her too much since Caitlyn only has access to her for 30 min a week. But! They have talked about getting both Vi and Sevika out of prison. They just need to gain access to the shimmer factory, which takes time.

2. I don’t currently have any plans for Sevika being involved in any romance sub plots but that’s not because I don’t want to. I am making 75% of this up as I go along, so if it comes up later that Sevika has chemistry with someone, then I will definitely explore that through Caitlyn’s eyes.

3. I have never once played League and I don’t have plans to. I don’t think I’ve even seen more than 10 seconds of gameplay 😅 but I have done a lot of reading up of LoL lore of Noxus, Piltover, and Zaun. I find the world building of this game very interesting, but LoL itself is not the kind of game I’d like to play and the horror stories of its fanbase frighten me 😅

4. I have written fanfic in the past for other fandoms, but never with this kind of excitement and the ones I’ve written for Arcane are far and away my most well received fics. I won’t say I’ll stick exclusively to Arcane, but I don’t foresee me being gripped by another show like Arcane has gripped me anytime soon. Never say never though.

Thanks for the questions!! ❤️💙

Work was not good today (happens when you start the day breaking a piece of equipment that costs $300 😬) but everyone's kind comments on here and on AO3 on Low Lays the Devil for the last chapter has me cheesing like an idiot. Thanks for reading and commenting and just being so nice!

It even makes me want to jump right into the next chapter, but I think I'm going to have some of my favorite beer and relax with something mindless while I answer everyone's comments lol
