Again! You Killed It! Chapter 8 Was Magical! What Will Caitlyn Do? What Master Plan Do You Have In Stocks

Not going to lie, I kinda hate what I’ve written for this next chapter. I might scrap a good portion of it, which is annoying cuz it’s over 3000 words long so far. Part of the problem is that it’s meant to set up the end game portion of the fic, so it just feels like I’m talking at the reader. Gotta figure out how to not do that and get what I want done because what I have is super boring 😅

(tumblr won't let me tag them specifically for whatever reason so there's the link to their blog as well)

Look at this amazing art for my "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi fic that nogaph made!! I'm fucking crying! They gave me permission to post them on here. Show them some love below! The details on the gala outfits and the gorgeous dramatic lighting on Vi sleeping outside Caitlyn's door from the latest chapter is just incredible.

The fact that anyone would be inspired to create art based on something I wrote is amazing to me. Don't forget to check out @amethystthefairy art as well on their blog. You guys are just so awesome <3 <3 <3

Edit: They look a little blurry (probably cuz of Tumblr), so nograph sent me a close up of them with their watermark

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. 19: The Alliance "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

Cassandra hummed. “You mentioned before that you are not trusting a Kiramman, you are trusting me as Cassandra. Would my last name have anything to do with why Caitlyn was upset after the Remembering?” Vi felt her heart squeeze painfully. “What does that have to do with anything?” “Because I am her mother who loves her dearly,” Cassandra stated very simply. Vi looked away from her, the pain of her and Caitlyn’s conversation on the bridge that night clawed at her throat.  “It wouldn’t be fair to her for me to hate her name and be with her,” she confessed quietly. “She’s an honest person, who loves people deeply. I don’t know if I could return that kind of love after everything I’ve been through because of people like you, or how you used to be.”

Work was not good today (happens when you start the day breaking a piece of equipment that costs $300 😬) but everyone's kind comments on here and on AO3 on Low Lays the Devil for the last chapter has me cheesing like an idiot. Thanks for reading and commenting and just being so nice!

It even makes me want to jump right into the next chapter, but I think I'm going to have some of my favorite beer and relax with something mindless while I answer everyone's comments lol

"Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic Chapter Nine: The Assignment

“Did you send me on this assignment because I’m from Zaun?” Vi asked, slowly and carefully. Councilor Kiramman seemed a little surprised by the question as blue eyes widened ever so slightly, but then steeled themselves as she answered once she collected herself a split second later with a simple, “yes.” Vi stared at the woman incredulously for a few tense seconds. Then she stood up and ran her fingers through her hair, forcing herself to calm down. “Violet, what’s the matter?” the councilor asked and her gods damned worried tone only managed to anger Vi further. Vi met the councilor’s blue eyes and scoffed at her audacity to be confused. “A moment of honesty?” Vi asked, her fury barely held at bay. The councilor didn’t assure Vi that she could always be honest again. The realization in the woman’s eyes told Vi that the councilor had now caught on to what Vi was really asking. Do you truly want to hear what I have to say? “A moment of honesty,” Kiramman repeated confidently.

Vi is asked to do a strange and potentially dangerous assignment for Councilor Kiramman. Caitlyn has some eye opening experiences. Vi's errand leads to a surprising conversation with the councilor.

It's uuuuupppp :D :D :D lol

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.

"Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Chapter Ten: The Request

Vi stared at the woman. For a long, long minute. To the councilor’s credit, she did not squirm or repeat herself. The teenager let out an uncomfortably chuckle, unsure how else to react. Vi would have been less surprised if the councilor had asked her to pose naked as an art installation at the Gala. “I’m sorry,” Vi said very carefully. “You just asked me, a sump-raker who has only–” “Violet, I really must say, I truly dislike how often you refer to yourself in such derogatory terms,” the councilor interrupted in an unhappy tone. Vi rolled her eyes. “You want me, an orphan Zaunite born in the deepest depths of the fissures and who tried to rob you, to be Caitlyn Kiramman’s—your daughter’s—date to one of the most extravagant Piltover high society celebrations of the year?” Vi asked, hoping the woman would hear how ludicrous that sounded. “Yes,” Councilor Kiramman said with no hesitation.

Councilor Kiramman has a potentially awkward request to make of Vi. Vi finds herself at the Kiramman Manor, again, to speak with Caitlyn about her mother's awkward request.

I just watched a clip of Cassandra’s funeral scene in Arcane and I felt way more sad than I did the first time I watched it because of my dumb fic. I’ve grown way too attached to her 😭
