This might be my favorite one of this series. Omg. My heart is actually melting ❤️💙
Day 65 cleansing the #caitvi tl
Breakfast after vi sneaked in.
(Ofc Cassandra knew she was there and has the cooking staff make her breakfast with extra proteins and send her home with enough food for her siblings)
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
Caitlyn casually sat down, unaffected by the tone in the other girl’s voice. “I wouldn’t go so far as to say that this is an olive branch—there’s too much bad blood between us for something like that—but I did want to offer something akin to it. A white flag, if you will.” Pivoni sneered and leaned back in her chair, her dark eyes flashing in disbelief. “Caitlyn Kiramman laying down her arms and offering a token of peace? Is Piltover about to be swallowed up by the isthmus?” Caitlyn couldn’t stop the amused scoff that left her. “This is a strategic retreat on my part. Given that we now work together, in a certain capacity, I figured that we could at least try to be somewhat civil towards one another.” The other girl stared at her, expressionless, for about ten seconds before she did something that Caitlyn did not expect. She laughed. Pivoni laughed hard, and the slight desperation that wound through it, followed by its abrupt end, sent a chill down Caitlyn’s spine.

Cassandra proposes moving on to the next stage of the alliance's plan. Caitlyn makes Pivoni an offer.
I'M BACK BABY!!
“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.
The next chapter of “Tethered” is something else you guys. I really hope you like it! It gets intense!
I'll do my best to get one more chapter out this weekend, but I really want to make sure I get this next one in particular right. I work weekends and I have an overnight trip planned Sunday-Monday, so there might not be another update until next week. Trust me everyone, it'll be worth it!
I figure posting over 75,000 words in two weeks has earned me a little leeway and good will 😅🤣 maybe I'll post a snippet to keep you guys fed until it's finished, but no promises
“The tether. It doesn’t like those crystals,” Caitlyn explained, taking in a stuttered breath. “It’s afraid of them.” All three scientists gave each other a questioning look before Jayce turned to Vi and Caitlyn. “The Arcane can’t feel,” he said slowly. “It’s a natural phenomenon. Like rain or an earthquake. It has no emotions.” “Tell that to the thing in my chest that’s scared, because it sure as shit ain’t me that’s afraid,” Vi said with a frown, annoyed that this scientist refuted them when he wasn’t the one experiencing it. Viktor walked over to the chest and picked up a crystal, then held it out to the tether. The white blue light grew brighter, almost blinding, and the fear became stronger. The need to escape from the room was almost uncontrollable as Vi felt a burning sensation behind her eyes. “Please, stop! It’s afraid of it,” Caitlyn cried out, tears in her eyes.

The tether between Vi and Caitlyn is tested and experimented on, which results in a discovery.
It's uuuuupppp :D :D :D lol
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.
She felt as if something in her mind turned off. Vander was here. He would make everything better. He always does. She stood up to go to him, but caught herself on the counter as a wave of dizziness hit her like an airship. “Vi? You’re covered in blood!” he exclaimed in horror. “I think I—I think I hit—” Vi stuttered, the room spinning more and more and her vision became spotted. The dull throbbing in the back of her head she had been ignoring for the last thirty minutes began to suddenly get worse. She felt Vander’s fingers run through her hair and pulled them back, crimson staining his hand. “I think I hit my head,” she muttered. Her eyes rolled back and her world turned black.

The aftermath of the face off with Deckard.
Posting cuz I can’t be the only person who hadn’t thought of this. If you toggle the speak screen option under accessibilities on an iPhone, you can put your fanfic in reader mode or download it and have Siri read it to you with the screen off. As someone who doesn’t need to use this feature, I just never put it together until I started writing fanfiction again after an 8 year break.
It’s not exactly like an audiobook in that, for example, Siri can’t tell when a word like “okay” should sound bright and happy or serious and reluctant, so it can be jarring. But it’s super handy for writing as it will help you finding missing or repeated words or help you come up with ideas while you’re driving or something. It’s amazing! I feel dumb I never thought of it sooner.
“Pretty snazzy,” Vi said as they neared the door, hearing the sound of laughter, music, and conversation inside. Caitlyn snorted. “If that’s the word you want to use.” “And what would you call it?” “Gaudy.” Vi mimicked her snort. “Pot, meet kettle.” Caitlyn clicked her tongue behind her teeth. “While my family and I don’t hide the fact that we are wealthy, at least we don’t shove it in everyone’s faces.” “Your front yard has two massive water fountains that are the size of the one-room basement my family lives in, princess. You have a wrought iron gate surrounding your castle that literally separates you from the rest of Piltover,” Vi replied with the most condescending tone Caitlyn’s heard from her yet.
