A lot of people have been liking how Sevika chewed out Heimerdinger and validated Vi in the latest chapter of "Tethered." I don't really share personal life stuff on here, but I'll say that Sevika's speech, in a very small way, was inspired by my own mom going off on an educator who directly told my mom, my sister (who was 11 at the time), and I that my sister never get into college because of how bad her test anxiety was. My mom basically sounded like Sevika did, and then, when we were back in the car, essentially said to my sister, "Don't listen to anything she just said about you. If you want to get into college, we'll figure it out. Even if it's hard, if you want to do it, then we'll find a way. But never let anyone tell you that you can't do something just because of something like anxiety."
My sister now has a master's degree and is a school counselor who helps underprivileged kids get into college. So, yeah. Long story short, in some ways, Sevika in this fic is very, very loosely inspired by my badass mom.

If you see this youâre legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book youâre currently reading
You'd think writing a chapter would make you one chapter closer to being done with a fic. You'd think that, wouldn't you??
But no, you are in fact 3 chapters further away.
Idk wtf happened but none of my edits in AO3 were changed and I didnât 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 Iâm 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
can i say if you ever do a divorce caitvi au, i would honestly die!! care to share some ideas you may have for it? đ would they have kid together? how angsty? (i would like all the angst ngl) what would their ages be? can u feel im rlly passionate about this lmao
Haha I love that youâre excited. Just know it would be a while before I could get to it since I still have Low Lays the Devil and the Pirate AU. But Iâd love to get to it down the line. I do think theyâd have 1 kid, probably be in the early to mid thirties, and it would be suuuuper angsty.
âThank you, Violet,â she said with more sincerity than Vi had ever heard from her. âYou donât get to thank me,â Vi replied. âShe should never have been there. Caitlyn could have been hurt, really hurt, and all because you ordered me to bring her.â Cassandra looked at Vi and with the utmost seriousness said, âI understand that.â Vi glared at her. âI donât think you do. I am done, Cassandra,â Vi spat. âI am done with these dangerous tasks without you telling me what theyâre for. I wonât risk my skin again, and certainly not Caitlynâs, unless you tell me what is going on here. My lifeâCaitlynâs lifeâis worth more than being some councilorâs 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.â
Vi confronts Cassandra about what she wants with her. Cassandra gives Vi an unexpected and powerful gift.
Okay, for real this time, I plan on having the next chapter of "Low Lays the Devil in Me" out either late tonight (US time) or tomorrow morning, but most likely tomorrow. I'm happy with how it's turning out, and it's a nice little set-up chapter for the last arc of our story. Sorry it's taken me longer than planned, but it's coming along! I'm about 4000 words in and maybe have about 1000 words left, but alas, I must work.
I will let you guys know now that there will not be a sequel to this fic. I already have the ending planned and have had the same scene planned since the first chapter of this fic. It's been a lot of fun to write, but it will be a complete story that ends this series nicely, if I may be so bold as to say so.
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?? đ
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.
Hi! I just started reading your fic today and I am currently on chapter 20. I just love the way you write Cassandra. I came for the CaitVi but fell in love with Cassandra. I didn't realize you were also on Tumblr so I got even more excited! Thank you for writing and I can't wait to read more :)
Thank you so much! A lot of people seem to like her, which makes me happy đ„° And holy cupcake did you fly through it if you got through 20 chapters in one day! Haha this is not a short fic. And I donât post anything on tumblr outside of this, since I made this side blog specifically for this fic, but I will share some ramblings about writing it on here. Welcome aboard đđđ
