I Do Think Writing Fics Has Changed Vi From Being My Second Fave To Just Being Tied With Caitlyn For

Me af right now

sometimes you’re hit with a friendly realization that yes, life is good. you have your comfort characters and you have archive of our own. life is actually beautiful

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?

"Tethered" Rewrite Underway

Alright everyone, the results are in and the "Tethered" rewrite will happen. There were also 13 votes for either yes or do what you want in the comment section of the chapter for "Tethered" that I put up asking people to vote or leave a comment if they don't have tumblr. Thank you everyone who voted and for all the kind words that you'll read anything I write, regardless of what happens.

Here's the plan:

I will keep the old "Tethered" story up for those who like this current version. I will mark it "abandoned" in the title and I will turn off comments on it, too. I will link the new rewrite in the chapter one notes when it comes out as well as in put the link in a new chapter update so that anyone who is subscribed to the story will know when the new version comes out.

I will say that I will write the first few chapters to see how I like the back and forth POVs. If I don't like it, then the story will be from Vi's POV exclusively. I am wondering if this will actually be a two part series and I could do what I did with my "Rebel Heart" series and have the first one be from Vi's POV and the second from Caitlyn's. We'll have to see.

Since I saw where the votes were going, I started the rewrite and have finished the prologue that I've written for it. When I'm ready, I'll post the prologue and the first chapter at the same time. I'm really excited to share this world and really do think I can do a much better job at writing an intense love story between these two characters. Hopefully I can get this out soon.

For what it's worth, the new version of this story will be both very different and very similar. I will copy and paste several scenes and maybe even whole chapters from the old fic into the rewritten one, but I strongly suggest everyone who wants to read this version of the story read through every familiar scene, as you never know what I will choose to change. The premise will still remain the same, for the most part. I will just slow the pace down, probably considerably, and go much more in depth into the actual tether itself.

Finally, I'll be sure to do a proper dedicated shout out to artist somewillwin in both the first post for this story and in the fic notes since I realized a bit ago that I was drawing inspiration from their artwork without fully realizing it.

Thanks for reading this long post! Read you guys soon!

I think it just really hit me how niche Low Lays the Devil and Heart Made of Glass are since I just I replied to a comment saying my CaitVi fic is a steam punk Romeo & Juliet inspired spy story 🤣😅

Update. I figured it out. It did, indeed, make my brain go brrrrr 😂

Writing Rant

"Write a political intrigue in-universe CaitVi fic," my brain says. "Write and post 60,000 words in less than two weeks," my brain says.

"Have a huge gala scene with lots of characters and advance the intrigue and have Caitlyn and Vi be each other's date to it, so there's gotta be some tension, but also don't forget the plot, oh and make it opulent and majestic, but be sure that Vi has conflicted feelings about being at such a party because she's from Zaun, but also make sure her and Cassandra have some great moments, too. BUT DON'T FORGET THE PLOT!"

Sometimes I hate my brain.

Despite all that, it's still so fun :D makes my brain go brrrrr when I figure it all out

It's always so wild to me how quickly words add up when I write. I don't try to make the chapters as long as they are, but somehow they end up that way. Right now I just finished the beginning of the next chapter by setting up a certain scene and then had the scene play out. Then I'm like, cool. That's about 1/3 of what I wanted to get done this chapter. Then I check the word count and it's over 3500 words long and I'm like wtf?? How?? 😂

Anyways, suffice it to say the next chapter of Low Lays the Devil in Me will probably be another long one unless I find a natural break in what's going on.

Mohan nodded. “You mean to meet with the Chembarons soon?” “Yes,” she answered. “I would imagine not long after I return.” He clenched his jaw a few times and sighed. “Be extremely careful, Caitlyn. These are career criminals who don’t trust anyone. I suspect they don’t care whose daughter you are, if they find out you’re lying to them, they won’t blink before they shoot you in the head and dump you on your mother’s doorstep.” “I will be, Mohan. I promise.”

Ch. 11: We're Not Broken, Just Bent "Tethered" CaitVi Fanfic

“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.

The fact that I am behind Critical Role’s new Calamity series should tell you how much of a choke hold Low Lays the Devil in Me has on me
