Ch. 21: From Dust "Low Lays The Devil In Me" CaitVi Fanfic

I'm already three chapters into the new "Tethered" rewrite (since I can copy and paste a lot of it right now, it's going by very quickly), and it's already, in my opinion, a more interesting story. I think I will keep the alternative POV as I solidify the kind of story I want to tell. Hopefully you guys like the changes. <3

I know I'm not the only one but by God your writing is incredible. Low lays the devil and Heart made of glass have been my favorite CaitVi fics of all time. Everything you've written has been pure magic! ❤💙

The fact that I only just got back into writing, after almost a decade, a few months ago makes this comment even more incredible to me. Thank you so much. The fact that any of you love it is insane, but to have it be anyone’s favorite? I’m on cloud nine. Thank you so much! ❤️💙

out of curiosity — do you think you’ll ever do a chapter in Low Lays the Devil in Me or a separate fic detailing Vi’s POV while in Stillwater? (Not that I’m complaining about a Cait-focused fic — she’s my fave character & I love angsty storylines in her POV!)

(also just wanted to say that I absolutely love both fics! they’re easily my comfort fics and one of the best ones i’ve ever read. any time there’s an update it instantly makes my day 🫶)

Hi! I'm so glad you like and I love that it makes your day!!! ❤️💙

I don't know if I'll do a POV chapter of Vi in Stillwater. I do promise that her time in there will not be swept under the rug! I could either do a POV chapter a bit later or do a separate fic like I did for some of the non-Vi centered scenes in "Heart Made of Glass: Perspectives." Since I'm making up 75% of this as a I go long, it's hard to say yes or no explicitly to anything. Not ruling it out, but no promises either.

Ch. 10: Listen to My Heartbeat Looking for You "Tethered" CaitVi Fanfic

As the sound of conversation and merriment filled her childhood home, she felt a small smile pull at her lips. However, if one were to look closely enough, they would see a faint sadness behind dull blue speckled eyes as Vi, subconsciously, rubbed at a spot in the center of her chest as her heart pulled at her to look for bright blue eyes in the crowd. Vi sucked in a quiet, shuddered breath as the agony of the missed connection flooded through her. She clenched her jaw and let it happen, like allowing a large wave to overtake her and remained calm until she was safe above the water again. Her heart beat mournfully for a moment, but then quieted down again as the ache soon left her. Vi glanced around and was glad that everyone seemed to be too caught up in the celebration to notice the few seconds of quiet pain Vi allowed herself to feel before it faded. With one more deep breath, she took a sip of her beer and went to actually partake in the festivities.

Five years later...

I love the head-canon of Vi calling Caitlyn out on her rich girl bullshit and my fic “Tethered” has been such a fun place to indulge in that 🤣

"Burglars, Books, and Balconies" CaitVi One-shot FanFic

The tattooed burglar swung her legs over the balcony railing with confident, graceful movement and turned so that she was facing Caitlyn. “Thanks again for not shooting me,” she said with a crooked smile. Caitlyn felt her breath hitch ever so slightly at how handsome this burglar was and prayed that the other woman hadn’t heard it. “Thanks for potentially saving my dissertation,” she replied. There was an awkward pause and Caitlyn got the bizarre feeling that the woman didn’t actually want to leave. Caitlyn was surprised that she didn’t want her to leave, either. It lasted only a moment before the stranger lowered herself down partially. She looked up at Caitlyn one more time with a more serious expression. “You should lock your balcony. The next burglar may not be as nice.”

Inspired by this post. I'll get back to writing "Low Lays the Devil in Me" soon, but I think someone needs to take my keyboard away from me because I have a problem. And bring me an ice pack for my poor hands.

Enjoy this 12,500 word indulgence.

Snippet from the next chapter of "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone"

Powder answered. “You need to separate CT02 and 03. They should never be mixed in their pure forms. Dilution is key to decreasing destabilization. Chem is volatile, but once you break down the compounds to their weakest and spread the power out throughout the machine you use it in, to avoid too much heat build up, you should be fine.”

Powder handed Jayce back the newly edited paper and he read it as if it held the answers to the universe itself. “I need to test this for myself,” he stated. He looked at Vi, with an almost ecstatic excitement. “Vi! Oh, Caitlyn, when did you get here? Doesn’t matter. Vi, I need CT02 and 03. Do you know where to find that in Zaun?”

Vi looked at Powder with a raised eyebrow. Powder smirked. Vi groaned. “Don’t. Don’t say it.”

Powder cackled. “Viktor always has Chemtech compounds on hand, Vi. I’m sure he’d love to see you.”

“Great! Vi, I need you to go to this Viktor and get me CT02 and 03, ten pounds of each compound,” Jayce instructed. “I’ll want plenty to work with and with some left over for back up.”

Vi scoffed. “Ten pounds each? I can’t carry that much weight all the way back with my crutch. Can’t we send a courier?”

Jayce shook his head. “Sorry, Vi, but I can’t let anyone else knowing what I’m doing. Councilor’s orders.”

“I’ll help,” Caitlyn volunteered, her smile far too sweet for Vi’s liking.

Ch. 18: The Last Seven Years... "My Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

“I must say, Cassandra, I had my doubts when you brought Violet along, but she has proven incredibly effective,” Grayson stated the Monday after the Kiramman Gala. “And Caitlyn seems to be quite…taken with her.” “I wasn’t aware you were so interested in the love lives of two teenagers,” Cassandra teased her friend. “These are no mere teenagers,” Grayson reminded them. “It’s a starcrossed romance for the ages, if they don’t break each other’s hearts.”  “I fear that discouraging Caitlyn’s pursuit of Violet would only make her want to do it more. She has never once listened to me regarding my opinion on the girls she dates,” Cassandra confessed. “I will say, I think this is different. Caitlyn seems to be more serious about this one. Perhaps it is the fact that Violet is so different from anyone Caitlyn knows, but…”

Vi learns what Cassandra has been up to for the last seven years.

Extra thanks to everyone reading this. We're now over 100,000 words. Everyone who has commented, followed, left kudos, shared the fic, or just a lurking reader: thank you, truly!

so... who's going to write a pirate AU for these two mfers?

can’t believe the duology’s over! I’m getting the same bittersweet feeling I get when a great book is over 🥹 honestly some of the best writing & plots I’ve ever come across in fanfics and definitely one of my absolute caitvi faves. I loved Cait’s POV and all the angst & action in the second fic, and now bc of your Cassandra I struggle to read fics that dont make her out to be a good mom 😭 You’re an amazing writer and I can’t wait for Tethered and all your other fics! I’m now downloading your works as epubs so I can keep & reread them in my kindle 🥰

I knoooow it's insane. It's been such a short time (barely even six months) since I first posted. I'm so happy to hear you've enjoyed the story, and thank you for the kind words! It was an incredible experience to write it, and I am so excited to dive back into Tethered and introduce you guys to the Pirate AU :D <3

All Hail Queen Cassandra!
