Tethered (a New CaitVi Fic)

My college professors would be so proud of me for using the research skills they taught me to try to figure out what the metal ring on the outside of a ductwork is for my fanfic 🤣 it’s called beading, in case anyone wanted to know.

Okay, my hand is feeling much better, and I can write again. I'll get a chapter or two of "Tethered" up first. I'm focusing on that one because I feel bad I stopped writing in the middle of the original version, so I want to get a few more out for those who like the story. Then I'll get back into "Low Lays the Devil in Me."

I just watched a clip of Cassandra’s funeral scene in Arcane and I felt way more sad than I did the first time I watched it because of my dumb fic. I’ve grown way too attached to her 😭

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.

Caitlyn shrugged. “I don’t really get on with my peers.” “You do with Maddie.” She sighed. “I’ve told you. Maddie and I have an…arrangement. I don’t really have a lot of desire to use what little free time I have for a relationship, at least not with her. She can be fun and she is… experienced, as you’ve inferred.” Vi smirked and did a crude gesture with her fingers that made Caitlyn turn a bright red and Vi laughed. “But she’s better in small doses,” Caitlyn finished. She then looked at Vi hesitantly and slowly asked, “do you want to go to the Copper Kettle?” Vi shrugged. “I’m bored and I’ve been stuck inside for two days. You may not have a lot of free time, but my brothers, sister, and I have to find ways to entertain ourselves every day. I don’t handle boredom well.”

Vi and Caitlyn have their first heart to heart and Caitlyn takes Vi around Piltover.

Ch. 23: Mothers and Daughters "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

Vi watched the two Kiramman women stare at each other for what felt like an eternity. Caitlyn had once mentioned before that while she and Cassandra are very close, their shared stubbornness can lead to more frequent arguments than Caitlyn and her father have. Vi did not want a front row seat to this. She backed away towards the door.  “I’ll give you some privacy. See you tom—” “Stay,” Caitlyn commanded, her eyes never leaving Cassandra’s. “I don’t want her to have the chance to spin this conversation to you in any way that benefits her. I want to hear what she has to say to justify herself in front of you.” Vi didn’t need to look at Cassandra to know that the councilor would tell her to listen to Caitlyn. This is what they’ve been waiting for and they needed to see how far Caitlyn would go for this.

Caitlyn confronts Cassandra.

I know I really only talk about CaitVi on here since this is a CaitVi fanfic blog, but the way the Arcane depicted a devastating "what could have been but never was" tragedy in Jinx and Ekko destroyed me when I watched it. Just watching this 2.5 minute music video fucked me up all over again.

LOOK AT THEM!! I'm a goddamn mess 😭😭 Fortiche, you rat bastards. Stop making me cry!

Not me thinking I need to make my own map/mark a blank map of Runeterra for my CaitVi Pirate AU 🙈🙈

On "I Will Give You My Rebel Heart" CaitVi Fanfic Series

I have never, in my life, believed I would ever actually complete even 1 long-form fanfic, let alone the 2 I have now completed as of today. If you look at my fanfics before this, it's a few one-shots and a WIP that'll never get completed. I am usually not one to talk about being proud of something I did, but I will absolutely say it today. Writing this series was creatively fulfilling, an absolute joy (and at times, a headache) to write, and one of the craziest things in writing I've ever accomplished.

Thank you to everyone who left me such kind words on this site and in the comments. You are all amazing ❤️💙

In a rare moment of self-plugging: for anyone who wants it, I'll leave a link below. This is an almost 350,000-word, 2-fic series of an episode 1 canon-divergence (with some major liberties taken with canon). It's an alternative, slow-burn story of what could have happened if Hextech was never invented, Zaun and Piltover's clash was the focus, with Caitlyn and Vi meeting and falling in love as teenagers who are caught in the middle of it all.

Almost like a steampunk Romeo and Juliet spy/revolution story, in a way. ❤️💙

Ch. 1: Officer Caitlyn Kiramman "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi FanFic

“Any information?” Mohan asked in his smooth, baritone voice. “As usual, inmate 516 seems to be keen on wasting our time,” Caitlyn replied in a clipped tone. “I may suggest solitary if we don’t get anything soon.” “I still believe she doesn’t know anything about the smuggling bust going wrong,” Mohan said as they walked out of the prison doors and towards the cable cars. It was always freezing on the small, man made isle Stillwater sat on. The sun had fully set and the wind off the Shurima Isthmus was as brutal as it was icy. “She is well connected to the woman who we know fed us false information. Speaking of, did you get anything out of her?” Caitlyn asked, shivering in the cold. He shook his head. “Nothing, as usual. Sevika refuses to say anything at all.” Caitlyn hummed, but didn’t reply, which Mohan took that as a sign to keep speaking. “Perhaps we should switch up which prisoners we talk to.”

WAKE UP! THE SEQUEL IS OUT! This is the sequel to "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone." It's out sooner than I anticipated, but I got bored cleaning up the first fic, so I'll do that bit by bit while working on this. Hope you enjoy it :D
