Saw a post about someone asking who will write a pirate AU for CaitVi. Is that something you guys would like to read from me after Low Lays the Devil in Me is done?
Okay, so I've never done this before, and I'm not promising anything, but here goes. I will take a CaitVi writing prompt for a one-shot fic to do as a palate cleanser once "Low Lays the Devil in Me" is done. I've always wanted to try a writing prompt and now is as good a time as any (if anyone manages to inspire me with a prompt, that is). Please leave them either in the replies of this post or as an anonymous ask if you'd like.
Rules:
Must be a non-canonical setting, preferably modern day, as I have spent a lot, a lot of time in Piltover/Zaun/Runeterra and will do so again in the Pirate AU that's next and in "Tethered."
Not completely ruling out smut, but it can't be the sole focus. I'm a character-driven writer first and foremost, and want to keep it that way, please.
Please keep the prompt to three sentences, max 350 words.
Must be one-shot worthy, and I'll probably not make it more than 15,000 words, so nothing that would require a complex, multichapter storyline.
I am doing this as a writing exercise, not an obligation to the people who suggest any prompts. Fanfic writing is for fun, and I want a little short break between "Devil" and the Pirate AU, which is my next long-form fic.
I will NOT do any requests for anti-ship/anti-character fics.
Thanks everyone! We'll see how this goes and if anything grabs me. Please don't be hurt if I don't choose yours. This is just a little exercise for me, and you never know, maybe I'd do one later if you suggest one now.
“You’re staring,” Caitlyn muttered quietly to Vi as the adults examined Jayce’s chalkboard of runes. He was walking them through how he wanted to use them to try to communicate to the Arcane tether. Vi smirked. “And? You’re hot, princess.” Caitlyn blushed and bit back a smile as she ducked her head. Vi swore she could practically feel Caitlyn’s heart skip inside her own chest. She sighed contentedly, resting her cheek on her hand to continue her examination of Caitlyn’s profile, which was much more interesting than the magic mumbo jumbo being discussed.

The tether evolves again and Vi learns a harsh lesson about communication.
Almost forgot I have dnd prep to do for my session tomorrow night, but I also have writing I want to get done for work. So my prep consists of 6 sentences, one of them reminding me what time of day it currently is for my players. The chokehold these fics have on me is unreal lolol
“I know I hurt your feelings, Vi. I’m not an idiot. It was all over your face. I’m trying to apologize,” Caitlyn stated, interrupting her thoughts. Vi began to remove her clothes to change for Caitlyn’s lessons that would start soon. “You already apologized, princess. Not sure what you think has changed between last night and this morning,” she replied, pulling on a plain brown linen shirt and her most comfortable pair of leggings. “I’m not saying it just to say it, Vi. I truly didn’t mean what I said, I promise you.” Anger flared up in her, and she rounded on Caitlyn, startling her into taking a step back. “You Pilties and your promises. Do you have any idea how many of them your people have made to mine, only to break them? All you know how to do is talk. Like that will solve any of our problems,” she scoffed. “If you think that your words last night were the most horrible thing I’ve ever experienced at the hands of a Piltovan, you’re as arrogant as every other Topsider. So, why don’t we just chalk last night up to yet another win for the Pilties against a trencher and move the fuck on?”

Caitlyn does something that completely shocks Vi, and Vi slowly starts to figure out what has changed about their tether.
Okay, this will be the last reblog on this. My brain totally spiraled way more on this than I anticipated. I originally just wanted to do a cute little one shot and instead my brain was like “just add this” and “add that.” It’s starting to feel more like an idea for a short story or even book length that I’m finding less appealing to have it be fanfiction.
So I’m not going to write it as that and instead have it be a little world building exercise for the moment rather than a fanfic. That way I can have fun with it and flesh it out in my head and continue to work on Low Lays the Devil in Me.
Mentioned this in a reply on a different post, but thinking about doing a Hades/Persephone CaitVi oneshot, but definitely with a twist (definitely not focusing on the original Greek version lol). Maybe after the next chapter is out 🤔🤔
Oh. Ooooh hooooo nooooo. Hell yeah. I fucking love this. I knew they were similar, but I hadn’t made this connection
Why did you do it?
this isn’t a question but oh my GOD i love chapter 7 & the VI tattoo origin story was SO GOOD AND SMART i gasped out loud 😭 ur officially my favourite fanfic author!!!!! best fanfics ive ever read i genuinely re-read some chapters for comfort aaaaa
Thank you so much. Comments like these help make an annoying work day absolutely bearable. Thank you for the kind words. I’m so glad you’re loving my little stories 🥰❤️💙

Emir! My boy ❤️❤️❤️
Recommend if you liked Emir from the CaitVi fic "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone."
GimmeTheFeels is doing amazing!!
Warning: Read "Heart Made of Glass" before this if you haven't already. These are just some supplemental scenes that some people asked me to write. Note that I most likely won't do any more of these for "Heart Made of Glass." Everything I've wanted to tell in that fic has been told.

Literally half of the "Rebel Heart" series comments are about how much we all love Cassandra and Vi's relationship in them almost as much as CaitVi, so you all know how I feel about her character lol
Cassandra gets mischaracterized from the fandom so much
