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

I just powered through your fic and it’s probably up there with my favorites right now. I’m extremely impressed by just how much you’ve written in such a short time. I’m very excited to see more, and also enjoy your take on Cassandra. Probably my favorites right now part tbh.

It means so much to me that you love it so much and that you even took the time to come on here to say this. That is so nice of you 💜💜 you all have just been the best and so supportive!

Idk wtf happened but none of my edits in AO3 were changed and I didn’t know until I posted ch 22 of Heart Made of Glass, Mind of Stone. I took the chapter down and will have to wait a few hours before I’m able to fix it. There were some pretty heavy changes made so it was easier to just take it down. Sorry everyone!!! If you managed to read it before even the email update went out, you get a preview, albeit an inaccurate one. lol

I started rereading today and saw the aside of Cassandra being jealous of the chemtech battle bots. I’m curious, do you have any plans of that get her, powder, and Jayce in the same room together? I foresee the ultimate chembot if so.

I don’t have any plans for it but I’m not ruling it out completely. If I don’t do it in this one, there’s a chance I will in the sequel. It would be pretty epic if they built a bot together though. They’d destroy everyone 🤣 so glad you’re rereading it 🥹

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 🤣😅

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!

I didn't expect to love writing "Tethered" as much as I am! This Arcane bond between Caitlyn and Vi is so much fun to explore as is the more antagonistic relationship between them. An enjoyable deviation from Low Lays the Devil where they're madly in love 😂

Noxus chapter is coming along, I promise. I've gone through four drafts of this, changing up the plot slightly every time. It's going to be a long one and I hope you all like it. I'm thinking it will cover half of their time in Noxus, which will be the most important time there.

Normally I wouldn't delete a comment on one of my fics, even if they say they don't like it, unless it's someone harassing me, but I am *this* close to doing so to the person who just asked why Vi, a minor, flirts with Jayce. Like, wtf? Have you ever actually talked to another human in real life? If you think that Vi flirts with Jayce at any point in my fic, you seriously need to go outside and experience flirting in real life. And if you know that you're someone who doesn't understand what is and isn't flirting, then don't comment on it.

Sometimes, I hate the internet.

Hi again Caitlyn Kirammans.

Chapter 7 of Low Lays the Devil has been my favorite chapter of this fic so far and it has left me intrigued as to what Caitlyn's plan will be to do with Mohan.

If I recall correctly (correct me if I'm wrong) Mohan is working with Greyson in secret. So:

Hasn't Greyson told Mohan at all about this secret operation that Caitlyn, Vi, Cassandra are planning?

Did Vi's family know about this plan from the beginning and will they have any relevance in it?

Will you introduce the new housekeeper of the Kiramman family Gloria and her relationship with Tobias and Cassandra?

In the Noxus chapter, Cassandra's letters to her daughter mentioned that she was from Ionia and gets along well with her father (I guess she is more sociable and charismatic unlike Emir who was serious and loyal)

Greetings ✋✋✋

PS: (it's a suggestion) is Gloria a vastaya or a human Ionian?

Hello!! I'm so glad you liked the chapter! It was so much fun to write 😊

So, Grayson hired Caitlyn on after she was "cast out" from the Kiramman family and paired her up with Mohan, but Mohan doesn't know anything. He figured Grayson was just trying to look out for the young woman she had been unofficially mentoring. It was never a secret thing. Since she's a new officer, he is in charge of keeping her safe while she learns the ropes. So Mohan is completely in the dark. Cassandra even reminds Caitlyn that just because he's a good man doesn't mean they want him in on the plan.

Vi's family knew about the whole plan from the beginning. Mylo is only acting as the heir apparent to House Lanes since someone needs to do it and Powder has been making items for Caitlyn to help her with her own mission (that hasn't come into play yet, but I have an idea for when it will).

I'm not sure if I will introduce Gloria anytime soon (and I have nothing fleshed out for her character as of yet other than she's from Ionia, so she could be any species. Vastaya would be cool, but we'll see how it works out).

I am really loving the writing challenge this CaitVi Pirate AU is presenting, but at the same time, I feel like it’s the most coherent I’ve felt my writing has been since I got back into 6 months ago. It’s a bit more emotionally charged than I was anticipating, but not in a bad way. I’m almost done with chapter 4, which will be up tonight, and then I’ll write a chapter of “Tethered.
