I've Noticed A Bit Of A Trend With My Fics Where, In Terms Of In-story Time Frames, Caitlyn And Vi Fall

Ch. 17: To the Brink "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi Fanfic

“Sons territory,” Caitlyn muttered, referring to the only other gang in Zaun that warred with the Chembarons for control of the Sumps. “What’s another way to get to where you need to go?” “This is the only way,” Corina stated with an air of indifference. Caitlyn turned to give the woman a hard stare. “Miss Veraza, I cannot in good conscience lead you through there. If the Sons find out that a Chembaron walked through their territory—” “Then we better not let any of them see me,” Corina interrupted with a smirk. Caitlyn felt her chest grow so tight she almost couldn’t breathe. Corina had no mask and only had a hood to disguise herself. If anyone recognized her… No witnesses, Caitlyn thought as what Corina was telling her filled her with a cold horror.

Caitlyn and Corina make their way through the dangerous Sumps of Zaun and Caitlyn finds out how far she’s willing to go to protect her cover.

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.

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?

I am really excited for the next chapter of "Tethered." This is going to be one that will really hint at how different this story is going to be from the original rewrite. Hope you all are going to like the changes!

Ch. 6: Small Steps "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi Fanfic

“Tell me, Officer Kiramman, do you find fulfillment in your occupation?” “Fulfillment, ma’am?” Caitlyn asked as Corina weaved through rows of colorful plants. “Yes, personally, I mean. Do you wake up every day with a sense of purpose and go to sleep every night with the knowledge that you are making your mark on this world?” Caitlyn thought about her answer carefully and decided to play it safe. “Would you even believe me if I told you that I do?” she replied with a sardonic smirk. Corina stopped and pulled out a few weeds from a beautiful batch of yellow bulb plants that Caitlyn recognized as tulips. When she was finished, she looked at Caitlyn. Her dark eyes, Caitlyn realized, were speckled with beautiful gold flakes that anyone could get lost in, should she choose to weaponize them. “If you were an ordinary citizen, perhaps I would believe you,” she finally answered. “But to go from the pinnacle of Piltover political power to the banality of chasing down petty criminals in the Undercity? Then no, I don’t believe that someone like you would find that fulfilling.”

Ch. 30: Quid Pro Quo “Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone” CaitVi FanFic

“How does this woman continue to outmaneuver us?” Caitlyn demanded furiously. “We are public figures, Caitlyn, and are thus knowable,” Mel stated evenly, “whereas she’s been able to operate from the shadows for years, longer than our alliance has been around.” Caitlyn ground her teeth together, relaxing infinitesimally when Vi put a hand on her thigh. “We’ll figure something out, Cupcake,” Vi assured her as soothingly as she could. Caitlyn took a slow, calming breath and leaned back in her chair, her eyes distant. Vi wanted to ask what she was thinking, but knew this wasn’t the time. “What now?” she posed to the group.

The Chembarons retaliate against the alliance’s bold move. Vi and Caitlyn are made an unexpected offer.

Ch. 13: The Kiramman Gala "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

“Does this have something to do with why you wanted Caitlyn to escort me to this?” Vi asked with a raised eyebrow. Cassandra smiled and gave Vi a look that told her she was right. “Let’s see if, by the end of the night, you can guess why, specifically, I wanted that spotlight on you and Caitlyn, and by extension, myself.” Vi thought back, again, to Caitlyn wondering why her mom was playing chess with her and changing the rules. Vi felt like this was one of those moments, but she just couldn’t figure out why Cassandra was playing it with her, as well. “Ah, here comes Councilor Bolbok,” Cassandra said, plastering on a bright smile. Game time, Vi thought to herself. She took a sip of her drink and braced herself for the onslaught.

Vi attends the Kiramman Gala as Caitlyn's date, officially being introduced to Piltover high society. If that weren't nerve wracking enough, Cassandra has another strange task for Vi to complete during the party.

Update. I figured it out. It did, indeed, make my brain go brrrrr 😂

Writing Rant

"Write a political intrigue in-universe CaitVi fic," my brain says. "Write and post 60,000 words in less than two weeks," my brain says.

"Have a huge gala scene with lots of characters and advance the intrigue and have Caitlyn and Vi be each other's date to it, so there's gotta be some tension, but also don't forget the plot, oh and make it opulent and majestic, but be sure that Vi has conflicted feelings about being at such a party because she's from Zaun, but also make sure her and Cassandra have some great moments, too. BUT DON'T FORGET THE PLOT!"

Sometimes I hate my brain.

Despite all that, it's still so fun :D makes my brain go brrrrr when I figure it all out
