I can't tell if it's because I've read and reread and reread my own fic a million times for editing and referencing, but I am not enjoying going back and cleaning up Heart of Glass lolol. could be that it's just so flipping long, too haha. Maybe I'll just do one chapter a day alongside writing the sequel. For now, I think I'll just play some cyberpunk.
“You’re staring,” Caitlyn muttered quietly to Vi as the adults examined Jayce’s chalkboard of runes. He was walking them through how he wanted to use them to try to communicate to the Arcane tether. Vi smirked. “And? You’re hot, princess.” Caitlyn blushed and bit back a smile as she ducked her head. Vi swore she could practically feel Caitlyn’s heart skip inside her own chest. She sighed contentedly, resting her cheek on her hand to continue her examination of Caitlyn’s profile, which was much more interesting than the magic mumbo jumbo being discussed.

The tether evolves again and Vi learns a harsh lesson about communication.
I'll do my best to get one more chapter out this weekend, but I really want to make sure I get this next one in particular right. I work weekends and I have an overnight trip planned Sunday-Monday, so there might not be another update until next week. Trust me everyone, it'll be worth it!
I figure posting over 75,000 words in two weeks has earned me a little leeway and good will 😅🤣 maybe I'll post a snippet to keep you guys fed until it's finished, but no promises
Warning: Read "Heart Made of Glass" before this if you haven't already. These are just some supplemental scenes that some people asked me to write. Note that I most likely won't do any more of these for "Heart Made of Glass." Everything I've wanted to tell in that fic has been told.

I didn't expect to love writing "Tethered" as much as I am! This Arcane bond between Caitlyn and Vi is so much fun to explore as is the more antagonistic relationship between them. An enjoyable deviation from Low Lays the Devil where they're madly in love 😂
Vi, who felt like they had done nothing but wait around for everyone to do their part, suddenly felt like everything they had been planning for was happening so quickly she could hardly keep up. Jayce’s breakthrough, Hira Tano flipping on Hoskel, and now Grayson’s operation at the Sun Gates went off without a hitch. “Twenty people arrested, three years of Hoskel’s manifest records all with the same coded language on them, Hira’s testimony, and Heimerdinger has been given everything,” Cassandra said the evening after the operation. Emir had broken out a bottle of champagne as Cassandra called for a toast with everyone in the alliance as well as Jayce and Tobias. “All we are waiting on now is word from him to convene an emergency council meeting to determine what is to be done with Hoskel, but the laws are quite clear. The scope of Hoskel’s crimes are so vast that it can only end with the call for his removal as councilor, an immediate banishment, and his family will be banned from serving on the council in perpetuity. None of this would be possible without every single person in this room. No matter the outcome, I am incredibly proud of all of you.”

Everything begins to fall into place for the alliance and the City of Progress does something it hasn’t ever done before.
Okay, I have the day off and outside of a few around the house things, I will be working on the next chapter :D hopefully I'll have it out by the end of the day :D
Does anyone have any writing confessions regarding your writing flaws that you are fully aware of, but have no desire or care to ever really address?
Mine is that I genuinely think I am awful at naming chapters and I just could not care any less.
I honestly got so caught up in just enjoying writing that I didn't realize I was so close being done with the next chapter 😂 I just have to edit and will hopefully have the next part of Low Lays the Devil in Me up soon!
Ch. 9 spoilers in the art below.
@nogaph has really outdone themselves yet again!!! The moment right before Vi breaks the tether and it broke my heart all over again. So stunning! Please show them some love! It's incredible ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ They even did the mirrored injured knuckles! Love it!
Gods this fic really is everything. The fanart to come from it is so fucking beautiful, too!
