On Stranger Tides By Tim Powers

Ch. 12: Of All the Jewels, Emerald Green is My Home: "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

When Caitlyn reached the bottom of the staircase, she approached Vi with a smirk. “I know I said you have a thick head, but I don’t believe it is so thick that I have to remind you to breathe.” Vi, who had started to feel a little lightheaded, realized she had, indeed, stopped breathing. She inhaled sharply, feeling her heart protesting the lack of oxygen in her chest—that was the only reason it was pounding, Vi told herself. The Zaunite cleared her throat and said. “You look good, Cupcake.” Vi mentally cringed at how awkward she sounded. Caitlyn let out a light laugh. “Thank you, Vi. You clean up rather handsomely yourself,” she said, not even bothering to hide the way she slowly looked down and back up Vi’s suit. More than Vi’s ears turned hot.

Vi finds something strange at Jayce's laboratory. The evening of the Kiramman Gala has arrived.

Slight Spoilers for Ch. 8 of "Tethered" Below

A lot of people have been liking how Sevika chewed out Heimerdinger and validated Vi in the latest chapter of "Tethered." I don't really share personal life stuff on here, but I'll say that Sevika's speech, in a very small way, was inspired by my own mom going off on an educator who directly told my mom, my sister (who was 11 at the time), and I that my sister never get into college because of how bad her test anxiety was. My mom basically sounded like Sevika did, and then, when we were back in the car, essentially said to my sister, "Don't listen to anything she just said about you. If you want to get into college, we'll figure it out. Even if it's hard, if you want to do it, then we'll find a way. But never let anyone tell you that you can't do something just because of something like anxiety."

My sister now has a master's degree and is a school counselor who helps underprivileged kids get into college. So, yeah. Long story short, in some ways, Sevika in this fic is very, very loosely inspired by my badass mom.

I lurk when it comes to your fics, but just want to say that I very much enjoy them, and your pure excitement/enjoyment for writing them is really wholesome. I'm kicking my feet over here for you 💜

I made a bluesky profile for my writing if anyone is interested in a follow, but I'm not sure if I'll keep it. Given that this is a side blog, I feel like I'd actually be able to be more interactive on something like bluesky and I absolutely refuse to make a twitter account. Hope I don't regret this 😅 This means I'll be able to give you a follow back if you follow it. Just no one be too weird and we'll get along great.

Brain, don't do this. You got a massive story you're working on already....but-but-but...👀👀👀

Ch. 2: Everybody Wants to Be My Enemy "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi FanFic

“I don’t think you’re stupid, Mohan,” Caitlyn said quietly, but resolutely as she met his gaze. He hummed, almost like he didn’t believe her. “Well, then throw me a bone. It’s okay if you’re pissed at your boss for giving you an assignment that he knew would fuck with you emotionally.” She sighed harshly and ran her fingers through her hair. Opening up a little bit wouldn’t hurt, she thought. “Fine, I am angry,” she stated, allowing some of her fury to break through. Mohan just stared at her, taking a drag from his cigarette. After several moments, he nodded. “Okay, then. Let’s guard your family’s shit,” he said, stamping his cigarette out.

Caitlyn must contend with hostile forces on multiple fronts as Sheriff Marcus has a strange request for her and Mohan’s new assignment.

“Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone” behind the scenes update

So this next chapter gave me some troubles with starting it. With every chapter I’ve had no issues just sitting down and start typing and figuring it out as I go. I think because we’re nearing the end (maybe 6-7 chapters left) that I was starting to worry about pulling everything together. So, I spent a good few hours last night thinking about where the story was and where I want it to go for the sequel and now I’m even more excited and inspired 😁 I had to redo the first 1000 words of the next chapter 3 times, but I got there. Hopefully I’ll have the next chapter out today, but no promises.

If I played a drinking game while writing this CaitVi fic where I'd drink every time I mistyped Caitlyn's name as C-A-I-L-T-Y-N, I'd be passed out within an hour, I stg

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 🤔🤔

hi!! curious question but what are ur favorite caitvi fanfics written by other authors? been wanting to know if there are any good ones I haven’t seen yet 🥰

also, if you haven’t read it yet I recommend The Sea For Your Embrace! It’s the only caitvi pirate AU i’ve read so far but it’s soooo good: https://archiveofourown.org/works/63102706

really looking forward to the pirate AU and ur updates for Low Lays the Devil & Tethered! ❤️ big fan of ur work :)

Hi!! I'm so happy to you like my stories!! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

For CaitVi, and fanfiction in general, I haven't read that much lately, if I'm being honest. It's not because I don't want to, but because 90% of my free time I have has been dedicated to writing the fics I'm currently working on that there's just not enough spare time I have to read. I used to read way more, but I honestly fell out of fandom life in general a few years ago prior to Arcane, so I just haven't engaged much with fanfiction or tumblr for a bit. Only these two fucking characters could pull me back onto this gremlin house of a website 😂

I shall add this pirate AU to my TBR bookmarks! Thank you for the rec😁

Maybe if I lose steam/inspiration for writing, I can take some time to read more fics, but for now, I'm riding this wild ride of 3 months straight of inspiration until I hit a wall, which hopefully never comes 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Below are the CaitVi fics that I've remembered bookmarked on AO3 (I'm honesty terrible at remembering to do that), it's just a shorter list than I'd like, unfortunately.

I Would Bring You the Stars and the Moon by @gutterwitchao3 obviously this is a must read for anyone in the fandom. So. Fucking. Good.

The Space Between Us by @runephoenix6769 criminally underrated fic and I really would love to check out their other CaitVi fics when I have time.

Is it casual now by @atomicjellyb3an love the kind of post-canon/canon divergence traumatized miscommunication story.

i don't want you like a best friend by an excellent one shot (ohwhatirony) no tumblr link that I could find, so here is their ao3 works link. I am a sucker for a good fic with pining!

Every Moment in Repose by GimmeTheFeels (no tumblr link that I can find, so here is their bluesky). This one is only semi-selfish because they based it Emir from my fic "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" but it's really so good if you liked that character and the attention to detail is wonderful!!

That's all I have for right now. I'll definitely take recommendations!❤️💙
