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.
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 ❤️💙
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 🥰 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 don’t 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 💜💜💜
Not me thinking I need to make my own map/mark a blank map of Runeterra for my CaitVi Pirate AU 🙈🙈
When the room was empty, Corina went into a cupboard and took out a bottle of wine with two chalices.
“A toast,” she said, handing a glass to Caitlyn. “To the start of a beautiful partnership.”
Caitlyn gave her a smirk and nodded her head before clinking their glasses together. “To the downfall of Cassandra Kiramman.”
A cold smile curled up Corina’s face and Caitlyn only just barely held back her fingers from twitching towards her weapon.

Caitlyn completes her first mission with the Chembarons and meets with members of the alliance to discuss next steps.
“The last major overhaul was not long after The Sinking. They needed to expand the prison since they threw so many Zaunites in it.” Caitlyn felt rage flare up in her and her lip curl in disgust at the idea of the desperate Zaunites clawing up from the mass grave of the fissures only to be thrown in prison for just trying to survive. “I’ve dreamed of dismantling Stillwater brick by brick as my first act as councilor,” she practically growled, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the edge of the table. Cassandra chuckled darkly. “When I lie awake at night thinking about what those Wardens are doing to Violet, I entertain the same fantasy.” Caitlyn met her mother’s gaze over the blueprints and suddenly felt a strong sense of kinship with her over how much they both cared for Vi.

The countdown to rescue Vi has started and Caitlyn prays she can successfully extract her from Stillwater.
lmao imagine claggor walkin in during THE SCENE.
I knoooooooow. It would have been so traumatizing! lol poor guy. Just being the quintessential middle child and trying to mediate between his siblings.
INCOMING! I have some edits I need to do for the next chapter of "Low Lays the Devil in Me" and I'm hoping to get it done in the next few hours before I have to go to work. You guys wanted a Vi rescue mission? You will soon have 11,500+ words worth of a chapter on it 😉 just know that it gets pretty dark given the situation our characters have found themselves in, but not too graphic.
I swear on Janna I'm not abandoning Low Lays the Devil in Me, but I have to write a CaitVi one shot inspired by this. I'm already 3000 words into it and it really only will a one shot. Think of it as like a little balm to the angst in Low Lays the Devil 😂😂
“Then why haven’t we recruited him?” Caitlyn demanded. “Why keep up this charade if he’s apparently not one of the corrupt ones?” “We’ve been over this, sweetheart. It legitimizes your cover. Mohan’s responses to your actions will help sell them. We need Marcus to believe you’re willing to become a corrupt Enforcer and if your partner who is the poster boy for anti-corruption continues to be angry with you, then it will help speed things along,” Cassandra explained. “He also has plausible deniability if you are found out.” “Not to mention, other than the safety of you, Vi, and Sevika, there is nothing more important than your cover remaining a secret. Are you willing to risk the entire operation on whether or not Mohan can keep his mouth shut?” Grayson asked.

For the first time, Mohan unexpectedly pulls rank on Caitlyn.
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.
