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
Not me thinking I need to make my own map/mark a blank map of Runeterra for my CaitVi Pirate AU 🙈🙈
I am feeling things. *screams into a pillow*
Maybe one day I’ll do an AU where Felicia lives and Caitlyn meets her. What a dynamic that would be

So, I really don’t think I would ever do this, but if I had to rewrite any of my three CaitVi fics, it would be Tethered. Not because I hate it, because I have had so much fun writing it, but because now that I know where it’s going, I kind of wish I took my time to get there more and elaborated on some things more. If that makes sense.
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
“Violet, don’t you dare. You are disgusting,” Caitlyn said, backing up. A bead of sweat dripped from Vi’s chin as she grinned impishly. “I thought you liked me all sweaty, Cupcake,” she said. Caitlyn saw Powder wrinkle her nose and utter a quiet, “ew.” “Violet,” Caitlyn said warningly, but before she could blink, Vi darted forward and wrapped her powerful arms around Caitlyn and lifted her off her feet, rubbing her drenched face all over Caitlyn’s. Caitlyn let out a half delighted, half disgusted shriek and pulled her head back away from Vi, but couldn’t fight her off with her arms pinned to her side. Caitlyn was strong, but she had nothing on Vi’s strength and knew she would never be able to push Vi off of her if Vi didn’t want to let go. “Release me at once, Violet,” she cried out, but the annoyance she tried to convey was belayed by the stupid grin that she knew pulled at her lips. Vi immediately let go, her own smile almost blinding. “I’m so sorry, princess,” she said, then gave Caitlyn a sweet kiss to emphasize her apology.

Caitlyn has a few difficult conversations.

So, as much as I am tempted to rewrite "Tethered," I also don't want to disappoint the people who like this story as it is. However, I will say that I think I could create a much better story since this was initially supposed to only be 3 chapters. I will say that, to me, it's turned into this really amazing world building idea and intense love story that, in my opinion, I haven't done justice.
So, vote below if you'd be okay with a rewrite with alternating Cait and Vi POVs and deeper world building with Runeterra's magic system. If majority votes yes, I will begin the rewrite and start the Pirate AU after "Low Lays the Devil in Me" is finished since I'm not too far from being done with that one.
If "no" wins, then I'll just stick to Caitlyn just talking at Vi to move the story along and then finish it up in a chapter or two as I originally intended.
YES I GOT YOUR LETTER YES IM DOING BETTER I KNOW THAT IT'S OVER I DON'T NEED YOUR CLOSUREEEEEEEE
also uhm Sevika smash
Hahaha easily the weirdest song in her catalogue 🤣 Sevika is an absolute smash!!
I’m finishing up at work and put my liked playlist on shuffle. Evermore by Taylor Swift comes on and all I can suddenly think about is a divorce AU CaitVi….oooooh noooooo 😬😭 maybe after the pirate AU 🤣
"Councilor, I am speaking as a parent of four teenagers. You locked two seventeen-year-olds inside for the last two and a half weeks, and you're surprised that they snuck out to attend what sounds like a party?" Vander asked incredulously. "I can't speak to your children, Vander, but Caitlyn does not disobey my rules," Cassandra stated, almost in offense. It took everything in Vi to not roll her eyes. Caitlyn was far too well-versed in how to get in and out of her window to have never done it before they went to Zaun. Vander narrowed his eyes at the Councilor. "What is that supposed to mean?" he asked with a low growl. Cassandra seemed unmoved by his flash of anger. "Caitlyn never would have behaved so abhorrently before she met Vi. I'm not sure I like the influence she is having on my daughter," Cassandra stated matter-of-factly. Righteous indignation flared through Vi as she heard the couch creak as Vander gripped the frame of it until his knuckles were white.
