Can’t Believe The Duology’s Over! I’m Getting The Same Bittersweet Feeling I Get When A Great Book

I spent all morning writing the next chapter of “Low Lays the Devil in Me” after I posted the previous one and wow, long action scenes are fun but hard to write. They all have to be different without being too insane that they’re not believable, the pacing has to be right, you want the characters all to shine, but also struggle and all while you have to keep in mind the greater plot. It’s been a blast but definitely a little frustrating.

Ch. 9: We Are All Fools in Love "Tethered" Caitvi Fanfic

Please. Please, she can’t die, Vi begged it. I don’t want that. If you care about us at all, you won’t let her die because I chose wrong again. The tether was quiet for what felt like an eternity as the world around them dimmed, but then it hummed in fearful understanding and acquiescence. Caitlyn opened her eyes, feeling something pull on her side of the tether. “Vi?” she whispered questioningly. The tether pulsed hesitantly at Vi, as if asking if she was sure. Do it, Vi pleaded.

The aftermath of the battle.

I’m going to try to get the next chapter of “Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone” today, but it’ll most likely happen tomorrow. Fingers crossed I don’t have too much to edit.

Writing tip to myself: try to sleep on a finished chapter before posting if it's late. I almost posted one at 2 am last night (which I have before and been happy with) but something didn't feel right and so I just slept on it. Looking at it now, I love what I wrote, but the "off" feeling was it's not placed in the right spot in the story. I'll use it later, but now I'll have to change up the chapter contents a little, which I'm already loving where it's going instead of what was going to happen. I think you guys will like it :D and what I will use later, as well.

Okay, the next chapter is done but I still need to edit and I’ve run out of time to do that. I can probably get that done tonight or early tomorrow. We’ll see how work goes. I gotta say, I’m pretty proud of how it turned out 😁

Hi Caitlyn Kirammans,

I've read chapter 10 of Low Lays the Devil in Me and it's been one of the most interesting because of the information that has my attention and how Mohan's role will be, will it be a great help or a disaster because of his sense of justice.

Like:

1: This plan was devised by Cassandra, Vi, Caitlyn, Vander's family, Grayson and half of the council (Shoola and Mel) in collaboration with Noxian spies, a clandestine operation (the stories remind me a lot of the Black Ops games if you know the Call of Duty saga).

2: Will the next chapter be about Vi and her time in Stillwater and Section 41 or Room 41? (correct me if I'm not wrong).

3: Will there be a romance between Jayce and Mel like it happened in S1 of Arcane?

4: Will Renata Glasc (if you know the character) appear in the future?

Greetings ♥️♥️♥️

PS: Thanks for reconsidering if Gloria will be a vastaya, I imagine her as a Kitsuné like Lest and Ahri (sorry for my lack of knowledge of the Ionian species, I'm new to LOL lore and there are species that are very unknown and some have hardly any information).

Hi again!!

1. I haven’t played COD in literally 20 years so I’ll have to take your word for it 🤣

2. Next chapter will not be from Vi’s POV at all.

3. Not sure if there will be an actual romance or just have it be a running gag.

4. I don’t think I’ll have Renata Glasc in this fic, but not ruling it out. We already have some enemies established so not sure if I want to add another one at this point. We’ll have to see.

Thanks for the ask ❤️💙 hope you like the next chapter 😁

Just got a text saying the party I was going tomorrow is cancelled. So guess who has a completely free day to write the next chapter 🙌🏻

Oh. Ooooh hooooo nooooo. Hell yeah. I fucking love this. I knew they were similar, but I hadn’t made this connection

Why did you do it?

hi!! curious question but what are ur favorite caitvi fanfics written by other authors? been wanting to know if there are any good ones I haven’t seen yet 🥰

also, if you haven’t read it yet I recommend The Sea For Your Embrace! It’s the only caitvi pirate AU i’ve read so far but it’s soooo good: https://archiveofourown.org/works/63102706

really looking forward to the pirate AU and ur updates for Low Lays the Devil & Tethered! ❤️ big fan of ur work :)

Hi!! I'm so happy to you like my stories!! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

For CaitVi, and fanfiction in general, I haven't read that much lately, if I'm being honest. It's not because I don't want to, but because 90% of my free time I have has been dedicated to writing the fics I'm currently working on that there's just not enough spare time I have to read. I used to read way more, but I honestly fell out of fandom life in general a few years ago prior to Arcane, so I just haven't engaged much with fanfiction or tumblr for a bit. Only these two fucking characters could pull me back onto this gremlin house of a website 😂

I shall add this pirate AU to my TBR bookmarks! Thank you for the rec😁

Maybe if I lose steam/inspiration for writing, I can take some time to read more fics, but for now, I'm riding this wild ride of 3 months straight of inspiration until I hit a wall, which hopefully never comes 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Below are the CaitVi fics that I've remembered bookmarked on AO3 (I'm honesty terrible at remembering to do that), it's just a shorter list than I'd like, unfortunately.

I Would Bring You the Stars and the Moon by @gutterwitchao3 obviously this is a must read for anyone in the fandom. So. Fucking. Good.

The Space Between Us by @runephoenix6769 criminally underrated fic and I really would love to check out their other CaitVi fics when I have time.

Is it casual now by @atomicjellyb3an love the kind of post-canon/canon divergence traumatized miscommunication story.

i don't want you like a best friend by an excellent one shot (ohwhatirony) no tumblr link that I could find, so here is their ao3 works link. I am a sucker for a good fic with pining!

Every Moment in Repose by GimmeTheFeels (no tumblr link that I can find, so here is their bluesky). This one is only semi-selfish because they based it Emir from my fic "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" but it's really so good if you liked that character and the attention to detail is wonderful!!

That's all I have for right now. I'll definitely take recommendations!❤️💙

This is kind of weird to think after writing 260,000 words in just under 3 months, but I think I am only just getting started with writing again. While I still plan on ending "I Will Give You My Rebel Heart" series after Low Lays the Devil in Me, I still want write something after, even if idk what that will be yet. Maybe I'll focus more on writing prompts and one shots or maybe do whole other long fic that will be totally different than these have been. I'm not even sure if I'll only stick to CaitVi or try something else out or maybe even dip my toes in an original idea.

It's been amazing to sink my teeth into something this kind of creative process again and I'm excited for what I'll do next!!
