Ch. 13: An Unstoppable Force "Low Lays The Devil In Me" CaitVi Fanfic

Ch. 6: Diesel is Desire "Tethered" CaitVi FanFic

Caitlyn sucked in a sharp gasp and looked up at Vi, meeting her eyes in the mirror. Vi immediately slapped her hand over her eyes and suddenly wished the floor beneath her would open up and swallow her whole. “I’m sorry!” she rushed out, her voice cracking. She could feel how hot her cheeks were, both from arousal and humiliation. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean—I forgot the mirror was there—I only saw for a second—“ She stopped talking, her brain moving too quickly for her to get a full sentence out. Through the tether, Vi felt mild embarrassment, but was mostly dominated by flattery and a shared arousal. But there was no anger and Vi felt herself relax ever so slightly. “It’s okay,” Caitlyn said, her voice slightly strained. “I believe you, Vi.” The silence between them was incredibly awkward and Vi was still fighting the heat that simmered beneath her skin. We should probably talk about this as well at some point, she thought, tightening the hand she still held over her eyes.

Vi shows Caitlyn Zaun as their feelings for one another continue to grow.

Ch. 23: Epilogue "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi Fanfic

This is the final chapter of the CaitVi series "I Will Give You My Rebel Heart."

See below for a little sappy message on wrapping up this epic, massive series.

I'm copying and pasting this from the end note section of this final chapter:

Okay, so let me be a bit of a sap for a moment.

I never, ever, ever in my wildest dreams thought I could ever actually complete a fic (or any piece of writing) of this length, let alone 2 in a series that make up 350,000 words! According to Google, the average word count for a book is 70-100,000. So, since I started this fic in December of 2024, I have spent the last six months almost to the day writing over 3 novels' worth of words. Now, working in an established world with established characters (a lot of which I also used from official LoL lore) definitely helped with world-building and character creation. However, that is still a wild feat to accomplish, and I’m not so humble as to not be proud of myself for writing two semi-coherent stories with 350,000 words and making them up, for the most part, as I went.

That all being said, I’m not 100% sure if I would have done this at the pace that I had with the excitement that I had if it weren’t for how amazing and kind you all have been. The fact that there about 1200 comments (that’s halved from what the actual number shows because I’ve replied to almost every single one, so I’m not counting mine) and I’ve only had 2 hate comments that I’ve had to delete is absolutely wild given that this is the internet and that CaitVi can be a bit of a controversial pairing in the fandom. What I’m trying to say is thank you to every single person who has read this, left a comment, left a kudos, subbed to the fic/my ao3 account, bookmarked, followed me on social media, been inspired by this story to write a fic/create a piece of art, and everything in between. This has been one of the most creatively fulfilling things I’ve ever done, and I appreciate every person who was kind enough to give it a chance and more.

This story is not perfect, I’m sure there are more than a few plot holes or underdeveloped parts and other issues that come with fanfic writing without an editor and problems that come with making it all up as you go along, but I don’t care. This story and this version of these characters mean so much to me (looking at you, my queen Cassandra Kiramman), and this will forever have a special place in my heart. Thank you to everyone who has joined me on this wild ride. It has meant the world to me ❤️💙

Thank you for creating tethered! Is there a planned sequel to it?

You’re welcome! It’s been very fun to write and I’m glad you and others have enjoyed it.

I don’t have any plans for one. Not that there couldn’t be, but I already have the ending planned out and it’ll be closed up pretty well.

But never say never!

Again??? I just posted a new chapter of "Tethered," and AO3 is loading slowly almost immediately. This happened yesterday when I posted the Pirate AU, too! Is it me?? Am I the problem??

If anyone is wondering, a great album to listen to while reading "Low Lays the Devil in Me" is the official soundtrack to "Candela Obscura" by Colm R. McGuinness. It's definitely good for a more seedy underbelly in a steam punk Victorian era setting, which is perfect for this fic's grittier scenes. Plus it's just dope as hell. I've listened to it on repeat when writing Caitlyn working as "Officer Kiramman."

Warning for some spoilers for the fic, but holy shit these are amazing! Every single one is so accurate lolol

Enjoy the chaos which is my mind after reading a fic I enjoy 😂

If you haven't yet, check it out!

Ch. 17: The Knight "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

“Thank you, Violet,” she said with more sincerity than Vi had ever heard from her.  “You don’t get to thank me,” Vi replied. “She should never have been there. Caitlyn could have been hurt, really hurt, and all because you ordered me to bring her.” Cassandra looked at Vi and with the utmost seriousness said, “I understand that.” Vi glared at her. “I don’t think you do. I am done, Cassandra,” Vi spat. “I am done with these dangerous tasks without you telling me what they’re for. I won’t risk my skin again, and certainly not Caitlyn’s, unless you tell me what is going on here. My life–Caitlyn’s life–is worth more than being some councilor’s bitch while you just sit back and play your gods damned chess match with us. I am not a pawn and I refuse for you to act like my life is some kind of game for you to play with. Either you talk or we are through.”

Vi confronts Cassandra about what she wants with her. Cassandra gives Vi an unexpected and powerful gift.

I'm writing the next chapter of "Tethered" and I honestly don't think I'm capable of writing a multichapter fic that is short lol

This was supposed to be a few chapters of the funny and cute hijinx Caitlyn and Vi get up to if they were magically forced to be near one another as teenagers and it's now over 20,000 words long and I'm maybe only halfway done 😂😂 why do I do this to myself lol

Please make them happy🙏🏻

I promise I'm working on it!! 😭😂💙❤️

I do think writing fics has changed Vi from being my second fave to just being tied with Caitlyn for absolutely favorite. Idk if it’s cuz I’ve tried to spend so much time in her head from canon (at least, how I interpret being in her head) or what. But I’m not mad. She’s an amazing character. They’re just my babies ❤️💙
