You'd Think Writing A Chapter Would Make You One Chapter Closer To Being Done With A Fic. You'd Think

Ch. 16: Next Steps “Low Lays the Devil in Me” CaitVi Fanfic

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.

Chapter 7: Born in This World as it All Falls Apart

In order to avoid time in Stillwater Prison, Vi must complete community service after getting caught stealing from Jayce Talis, the protégé of the wealthy and intelligent Councilor Cassandra Kiramman. Instead of spending her nights working at The Last Drop and her days looking after her siblings in Zaun, she now has to be the errand girl to one of the most powerful people in Piltover. However, Vi soon realizes that something isn’t right. What secret project is Jayce working on? Why does the councilor keep sending Vi on strange assignments? And why won’t Caitlyn Kiramman leave Vi alone about what life is like in Zaun? Something is festering in the underbelly of both cities and Vi is beginning to suspect that the Kirammans know more than anyone realizes. OR A story of what could have happened if Hextech was never invented (with some liberties taken with both LoL and Arcane canon).

Chapter 7: Vi attends a council meeting for her second day working for Councilor Kiramman.

Ch. 14: The Tour "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

Caitlyn hummed. “I’m not sure if you’re aware, Powder, but I have quite a strong connection to the Artificers Guild,” she said. “If you’d like, and when you’re ready, I could see if they’ll be willing to hear a presentation of your hoverboard from you and Ekko.” Powder looked like she was going to pass out. “You’d—you’d do that?” she whispered. Caitlyn smiled. “Of course. It sounds like an incredible invention.” Powder looked at her in awe. “You are officially the coolest person I know.” Vi scoffed in offense. “What about me?” Powder completely ignored her and grabbed Caitlyn’s hand to pull her down the street. “Come with me! Vi said you’re a really good dancer. You've got to check out this place down the street. One of the innovators created a band of instruments that play by themselves!”

Caitlyn finally gets her tour of The Lanes.

I love them, Your Honor 😭

and isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?

CaitVi Fic Update

So, I said in the last chapter notes that this next one might take me a while because it's going to be beefy. I'm 6000 words in and I don't even think I'm halfway 😭😬🤣 thank god I'm a fast typer lol

Ya'll, I looked for aaaages for this artwork for the Stillwater chapter of "Low Lays the Devil in Me" (if you know, you know) to be a reference/inspiration piece. This is exactly what I pictured Vi wearing, but I couldn't find it to describe it. Didn't find it in time but did now haha

Also, I just fucking love this piece so much. They look so badass and gorgeous and so in sync! Excellent job OP

Hey, for Tethered I'd suggest a Caitlyn centered companion story/ sequel rather than a full rewrite. Thanks for writing!

I thought about that as well, but because of the lore expansion, there's a lot that I would need to rewrite to fit that :(

GimmeTheFeels lived up to their name in a wonderful gifted fic to me centered on my OC Emir from “Heart Made of Glass.” You’d need to read my fic to fully appreciate it, but he is the Kiramman’s butler and I loved his relationship with Vi so much. I am honored he captured people’s affection to the point that one of you wrote a fic about him 😭

Please read and leave a kudos and comment! It’s so good.

I made a bluesky profile for my writing if anyone is interested in a follow, but I'm not sure if I'll keep it. Given that this is a side blog, I feel like I'd actually be able to be more interactive on something like bluesky and I absolutely refuse to make a twitter account. Hope I don't regret this 😅 This means I'll be able to give you a follow back if you follow it. Just no one be too weird and we'll get along great.

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!❤️💙
