For Your Tethered Story, How Would The Tether React If One Of Them Became Sick Or Even Injured?

Okay, this will be the last reblog on this. My brain totally spiraled way more on this than I anticipated. I originally just wanted to do a cute little one shot and instead my brain was like “just add this” and “add that.” It’s starting to feel more like an idea for a short story or even book length that I’m finding less appealing to have it be fanfiction.

So I’m not going to write it as that and instead have it be a little world building exercise for the moment rather than a fanfic. That way I can have fun with it and flesh it out in my head and continue to work on Low Lays the Devil in Me.

Mentioned this in a reply on a different post, but thinking about doing a Hades/Persephone CaitVi oneshot, but definitely with a twist (definitely not focusing on the original Greek version lol). Maybe after the next chapter is out 🤔🤔

in terms of tetherd (i think i spelt that wrong)

you could do it like an extra story like you did in the heart made of glass series where you did the extra perspectives ?!!!

maybe just an idea but other than that i absolutely love your fics they’re soooooooo good ,, big fan of tetherd and the burglar one

your writing style is just amazing

That wouldn't work for what I'm thinking. Caitlyn needs to update Vi on her years she spent travelling and, for it to make sense to the reader, it would require like, 3000 words of just straight up exposition. I'm on my third draft trying to find a way to make it more interesting, but I know, without a doubt, it would be better if you all experienced it with Caitlyn.

And for what I have planned for the lore of the tether, I know it would be better to build up to it rather than have this all seem out of left field like it would now.

Thank for the suggestion and the kind words!!!

It’s my Sunday and it’s going snow a million inches where I am. While that’s perfect weather for writing, I’m going to play a video game, which I haven’t done in forever 😁 Maybe I’ll write later if I feel like it but it’s a perfect day to chill and use a different part of my brain 🤣

"Tethered" Rewrite: Prologue, Ch. 1 & 2, CaitVi Fanfic

Soulmate. Two Spirits in one soul. Inextricably bound together for eternity in perfect harmony—until mankind intervened. When teenagers Vi and Caitlyn are caught up in an Arcane explosion, a magical tether is formed between them that won’t let them be further than 15 feet apart from one another, physically and dangerously wrenching them back together if they try to separate. With the study of magic banned in Piltover, the brightest scientific minds will have a hard time figuring out how to break their tether. As the magical bond between them evolves, so do their feelings for one another. Soon, Vi and Caitlyn begin to question whether they truly want the tether to be broken and wonder just how far they are willing to go to ensure that it isn’t.

PLEASE READ THE NOTES AT THE START OF THE FIC!!!

Inspired loosely by @somewillwin's soulmate AU. Your art is amazing! Thank you for sharing it.

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!

Post About a Certain Acane Character in "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone"

I've been getting a lot of questions about a certain character from the show that hasn't been mentioned or introduced in my fic yet. If you want to know more/be spoiled a bit for this fic, more below the "keep reading" line. The spoiler will be about who that character is and why they're not in it/why I made that decision. The spoiler itself won't tell you anything I plan on doing for the story, though it will spoil you if you haven’t caught up on this fic, but will tell you what I don't plan on doing with the focus on this character.

Silco will not be in this fic. At least the first one. I hate to say "never" when writing, but he will most likely not be in the sequel either.

I think Silco is one of them most well portrayed villains ever written for television and the fact that we got him for just 9 episodes is fucking bonkers to me. He is one of the most incredibly well written characters in the whole show. He is a deeply complex character with sympathetic motives, but horrific means. It's a classic villain trope, but fuck does Arcane practically perfect that in Silco. I love to hate him and I hate to love him.

Now, that plays into why I don't want to write him:

I know myself well enough that I would not be happy with any kind of portrayal or twist I could put on him and it would frustrate me to the point that I could see myself abandoning the fic or not being happy with it like I am right now.

I don't see a need for him in my story. I am doing a different take on the story of Zaun vs Piltover, of the shimmer plot, and the political intrigue. Silco's story in all three of those areas was told already in the show, brilliantly. I have no want or desire to basically do what was in the show. The whole point of me writing this fic was a "what if" (more on this below)

Since I am drawing on a bit more LoL lore, I already have people other than Silco that I want to explore in this particular story/setting that I've changed up, twisted, what have you, but that will come up a bit more heavily in the sequel. In this one, the foil to Cassandra and her alliance are currently the Chembarons. They weren't really featured all that much in the show, save for few key moments, but overall, it was not much compared to Silco/Ambessa, and that makes me want to explore them more than Silco. I wanted them to be the antagonists of this fic. (You might notice that my fic has a lot of people featured in it that aren't primarily explore a lot in the show: Cassandra, Shoola, Grayson, etc. to name a few).

To state the obvious: this story I'm writing is similar to what the writers did in the Timebomb episode in season 2. My own "what if" story.

What if Caitlyn and Vi met as teenagers? What if Cassandra was the one who wanted to end corruption of Piltover instead of Jayce? What if Vander ended his revolution not because someone he loved took it too far, but because he took it too far and many more people died, including his best friends? What if Vander lived and helped Vi off of her dangerous path of rage and violence?

Etc., etc.

Lastly, I will just say that I use the tag feature on AO3 very, very intentionally! If you don't see a major character's name in the character tags, then they either haven't been introduced yet or they won't be in the fic at all. But typically, if I know they'll be in it, I will add their name to the tags as soon as I can.

Silco just won't be one of them.

Thank you all! <3 <3 <3

Ch. 18: Power "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi FanFic

Caitlyn casually sat down, unaffected by the tone in the other girl’s voice. “I wouldn’t go so far as to say that this is an olive branch—there’s too much bad blood between us for something like that—but I did want to offer something akin to it. A white flag, if you will.” Pivoni sneered and leaned back in her chair, her dark eyes flashing in disbelief. “Caitlyn Kiramman laying down her arms and offering a token of peace? Is Piltover about to be swallowed up by the isthmus?” Caitlyn couldn’t stop the amused scoff that left her. “This is a strategic retreat on my part. Given that we now work together, in a certain capacity, I figured that we could at least try to be somewhat civil towards one another.” The other girl stared at her, expressionless, for about ten seconds before she did something that Caitlyn did not expect. She laughed. Pivoni laughed hard, and the slight desperation that wound through it, followed by its abrupt end, sent a chill down Caitlyn’s spine.

Cassandra proposes moving on to the next stage of the alliance's plan. Caitlyn makes Pivoni an offer.

I'M BACK BABY!!

Hello ms rifle i have a question

How are they going to be separated in the fifteen long foot bathrooms the kirammans have for some fucking reason?

Kind regards

Me

Haha, by making sure that the space between the toilet/shower and door will be exactly 14 feet. The large vanity will be on the other end of the bathroom, which is what makes it so large ;) They will just have to sit outside of the door while the other does their business. haha don't worry, I'm going to make it *that* kind of invasive.

Ch. 15: Happy Progress Day "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

“So, er—I don’t know if you know,” Vi started, “but Zaun celebrates The Remembering instead of Progress Day.” “Yes, I’m aware,” Cassandra replied, curiously glancing up at Vi from her letters. “Well, since you’ve been okay with me taking Caitlyn to Zaun—for whatever reason—would it be okay if I took her to experience The Remembering?” Vi asked, then started talking quickly, as if Cassandra would say yes if she could justify it fast enough. “I know it’s the night of the Progress Day Ball, but she’s been to a million of those already and I think it’d be good for her to see what The Remembering is. It’s a really safe day, we actually jokingly call it a vacation from crime. Even the Chembarons won’t break that tradition.” “Violet, breathe,” Cassandra instructed with a laugh. “Yes, you may bring Caitlyn with you. I agree, it’d be good for her to experience it.”

The slight turn that the new "Tethered" chapter has taken is interesting. It's kind of turning out like I hoped, but also pretty different at the same time. I'm excited! Hopefully I can get it up tonight or tomorrow morning.
