Caitlyn put a hand on the door handle and turned it, only to find it locked. Oh, she thought. She didn’t have a key to the Lodge. She never had to worry about it. She pushed the small gold button next to the door and heard the doorbell ring throughout the building. Caitlyn adjusted her backpack and tapped a thumb against her thigh. Finally, the door opened and she was greeted by the sight of bright blue hair in long braided pigtails and light blue eyes wide with surprise. “CAITLYN!” cried Powder so loudly that it made Caitlyn’s ears ring. She suddenly scrambled to hold up Powder, who threw herself at Caitlyn and lifted her legs to wrap them around her waist. Careful not to drop her, Caitlyn hugged the younger girl close, her heart singing with joy at seeing Vi’s little sister.

Mohan reacts to the news of Vi’s “death.” Caitlyn and Vi finally reunite.
This next chapter is taking longer than I thought because it’s going to be a doozy. I’m at 7300 words and I have lots more that needs to happen. I didn’t expect it to be that long but once I realized what I wanted to accomplish in Noxus, I realized it was going to be more like a short story inside the bigger story. I think you guys will like it though.
“I saw an article that you got back from abroad a few months ago. Did you stay in one place or did you travel around?” Caitlyn absently rubbed at her forearm as she answered. “I went to several places, but for most of the time I was in Ionia.” “Oh? With your dad’s family?” “I saw them, of course, but I stayed in the mountains on the northern part of the main island,” she explained. Vi furrowed her brow slightly as Caitlyn shifted, appearing almost uncomfortable as she didn’t elaborate. Her heart reached out to comfort the other girl and a fresh wave of pain flowed through her at the brick wall she was met with instead.

Vi and Caitlyn go for drinks and Vi has a difficult conversation with Sevika.
I’m going to try to get the next chapter of “Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone” today, but it’ll most likely happen tomorrow. Fingers crossed I don’t have too much to edit.
hello caitlyn kirammans rifle (Phoenix314 your username on Ao3),
I've read and loved your story Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone and I look forward to future updates of Low Lays the Devil in Me.
I have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering me.
1: Will I Give You My Rebel Heart be a trilogy?
2: In Low Lays the Devil in Me, will Caitlyn be the central character in this story?
3: Will there be a Cassandra and Tobias subplot (and maybe her relationship with Greyson) after what happened with Grey's attack on the Kiramman mansion?
(a love triangle drama story would be hilarious 😁 it's a suggestion, don't take it seriously)
Thank you so much for your attention.
Hi! I’m so glad you like it! ❤️💙
1. No plans right now for a trilogy but I’m not ruling it out.
2. Caitlyn is the central character in Low Lays the Devil in Me. I don’t have any currents plans to switch to Vi’s perspective but never say never. If I do, it’ll only be for a short time like I did with Cassandra in “Heart Made of Glass.”
3. Haha no love triangle in this series I’m sorry to say (although that would be amusing), but so far we don’t really know what Cassandra has been up to in this fic or how everyone else is doing, to a certain degree. For plot reasons, Caitlyn has to be pretty cut off from everyone so we have to see if everyone can be reunited soon.
Thanks for reading and the ask!!
I just have some editing to do and a final read through of the next chapter of “Low Lays the Devil in Me” and you guys will have 7500 words of the battle at Stillwater to enjoy! It’s super action packed and it’s the longest sequence of non-stop action I’ve written by a mile! It was fun but hard to write, but I think you guys will enjoy it. It still is in line with the M rating and I don’t get descriptive of gore or anything like that, but buckle up for a lot of violence as the darker side of Caitlyn and Vi will be fully fleshed out. This chapter, more than any of the others, represents the title of this fic very closely.
On a *completely* unrelated note. Anyone have any good writing program recommendations? I have scrivener, but it’s so inaccurate for spelling/grammar that I get really annoyed by it, even if it’s good for planning.
Idk wtf happened but none of my edits in AO3 were changed and I didn’t know until I posted ch 22 of Heart Made of Glass, Mind of Stone. I took the chapter down and will have to wait a few hours before I’m able to fix it. There were some pretty heavy changes made so it was easier to just take it down. Sorry everyone!!! If you managed to read it before even the email update went out, you get a preview, albeit an inaccurate one. lol
“How does this woman continue to outmaneuver us?” Caitlyn demanded furiously. “We are public figures, Caitlyn, and are thus knowable,” Mel stated evenly, “whereas she’s been able to operate from the shadows for years, longer than our alliance has been around.” Caitlyn ground her teeth together, relaxing infinitesimally when Vi put a hand on her thigh. “We’ll figure something out, Cupcake,” Vi assured her as soothingly as she could. Caitlyn took a slow, calming breath and leaned back in her chair, her eyes distant. Vi wanted to ask what she was thinking, but knew this wasn’t the time. “What now?” she posed to the group.
The Chembarons retaliate against the alliance’s bold move. Vi and Caitlyn are made an unexpected offer.
Hello ms rifle i have a question
How are they going to be separated in the fifteen long foot bathrooms the kirammans have for some fucking reason?
Kind regards
Me
Haha, by making sure that the space between the toilet/shower and door will be exactly 14 feet. The large vanity will be on the other end of the bathroom, which is what makes it so large ;) They will just have to sit outside of the door while the other does their business. haha don't worry, I'm going to make it *that* kind of invasive.
She shifted her weight between her feet and wrung her fingers together. Cassandra, ever observant, furrowed her brow. “Caitlyn, is something wro—" “Can we talk?” Caitlyn blurted out, rudely interrupting her matriarch. She flushed at her inability to control her mouth and forced herself to speak more calmly. “When I get back, I mean?” Cassandra, who had been surprised by Caitlyn’s outburst, blinked in confusion. “Talk?” she parroted. Caitlyn nodded, the lump in her throat made it difficult to form words around. Her mother must have seen something—something different—in her eyes as Caitlyn noticed she had stopped breathing. “Of course, Caity. Whenever you’re free, I’ll be here.”

Caitlyn fakes Mohan’s death and reads him in on their mission.
"Councilor, I am speaking as a parent of four teenagers. You locked two seventeen-year-olds inside for the last two and a half weeks, and you're surprised that they snuck out to attend what sounds like a party?" Vander asked incredulously. "I can't speak to your children, Vander, but Caitlyn does not disobey my rules," Cassandra stated, almost in offense. It took everything in Vi to not roll her eyes. Caitlyn was far too well-versed in how to get in and out of her window to have never done it before they went to Zaun. Vander narrowed his eyes at the Councilor. "What is that supposed to mean?" he asked with a low growl. Cassandra seemed unmoved by his flash of anger. "Caitlyn never would have behaved so abhorrently before she met Vi. I'm not sure I like the influence she is having on my daughter," Cassandra stated matter-of-factly. Righteous indignation flared through Vi as she heard the couch creak as Vander gripped the frame of it until his knuckles were white.

Vi and Caitlyn's families discuss how they snuck out, and the girls find out their punishment.
