Does Anyone Have Any Writing Confessions Regarding Your Writing Flaws That You Are Fully Aware Of, But

On "I Will Give You My Rebel Heart" CaitVi Fanfic Series

I have never, in my life, believed I would ever actually complete even 1 long-form fanfic, let alone the 2 I have now completed as of today. If you look at my fanfics before this, it's a few one-shots and a WIP that'll never get completed. I am usually not one to talk about being proud of something I did, but I will absolutely say it today. Writing this series was creatively fulfilling, an absolute joy (and at times, a headache) to write, and one of the craziest things in writing I've ever accomplished.

Thank you to everyone who left me such kind words on this site and in the comments. You are all amazing ❤️💙

In a rare moment of self-plugging: for anyone who wants it, I'll leave a link below. This is an almost 350,000-word, 2-fic series of an episode 1 canon-divergence (with some major liberties taken with canon). It's an alternative, slow-burn story of what could have happened if Hextech was never invented, Zaun and Piltover's clash was the focus, with Caitlyn and Vi meeting and falling in love as teenagers who are caught in the middle of it all.

Almost like a steampunk Romeo and Juliet spy/revolution story, in a way. ❤️💙

okay but silco is an honest smash

Haha I’ll plead the lesbian fifth on this one 🤣 I’ll admit that Silco has a certain charming bit to him, but if I *had* to pick a male smash in Arcane, I’d probably pick Jayce (only if he’s in his S2 act 3 look/fit though)

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.

NO THE DIDLO GIRL

🤣

I just had a revelatory idea for Low Lays the Devil in Me and I am super inspired to write but my poor hands need a break after the looooong one shot I wrote in 24 hours. God damn it. 😂

Ch. 7: When You Are Young, They Assume You Know Nothing "Tethered" CaitVi Fanfic

“What, you’ve never cuddled anyone in bed before?” she asked with a smirk, then she stood up and stretched. Vi's eyes were drawn down to the sliver of smooth skin that was revealed as Caitlyn’s sleep shirt rose slightly, and Vi felt the parasite urge her to raise her hand to caress it. Vi curled her fingers into a fist and swallowed as she looked away from Caitlyn, her face still hot with embarrassment. “Yeah, my little sister,” she replied derisively. Vi saw Caitlyn cock her head out of the corner of her eye before she hummed. “Well, given how obsessed Irelia is with you, I’m surprised it wasn’t me wrapped around you. So, why don’t we just call it a wash?” Vi looked back over at Caitlyn with a furrowed brow. “Wait, what are you talking about? The tether is obsessed with you, not me.” Caitlyn gave her a confused look, and the parasite in Vi’s sternum trilled in anticipated excitement, almost like it was pushing Vi towards something she couldn’t quite grasp.

Vi and Caitlyn have come to an understanding with one another, and the scientists have discovered something about the tether.

Ch. 29: I So Swear "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

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.

Hi! I just started reading your fic today and I am currently on chapter 20. I just love the way you write Cassandra. I came for the CaitVi but fell in love with Cassandra. I didn't realize you were also on Tumblr so I got even more excited! Thank you for writing and I can't wait to read more :)

Thank you so much! A lot of people seem to like her, which makes me happy 🥰 And holy cupcake did you fly through it if you got through 20 chapters in one day! Haha this is not a short fic. And I don’t post anything on tumblr outside of this, since I made this side blog specifically for this fic, but I will share some ramblings about writing it on here. Welcome aboard 💜💜💜

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 🤣

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.
