The Slight Turn That The New "Tethered" Chapter Has Taken Is Interesting. It's Kind Of Turning Out Like

Ch. 17: The Knight "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fic

“Thank you, Violet,” she said with more sincerity than Vi had ever heard from her.  “You don’t get to thank me,” Vi replied. “She should never have been there. Caitlyn could have been hurt, really hurt, and all because you ordered me to bring her.” Cassandra looked at Vi and with the utmost seriousness said, “I understand that.” Vi glared at her. “I don’t think you do. I am done, Cassandra,” Vi spat. “I am done with these dangerous tasks without you telling me what they’re for. I won’t risk my skin again, and certainly not Caitlyn’s, unless you tell me what is going on here. My life–Caitlyn’s life–is worth more than being some councilor’s bitch while you just sit back and play your gods damned chess match with us. I am not a pawn and I refuse for you to act like my life is some kind of game for you to play with. Either you talk or we are through.”

Vi confronts Cassandra about what she wants with her. Cassandra gives Vi an unexpected and powerful gift.

Ch. 11: We're Not Broken, Just Bent "Tethered" CaitVi Fanfic

“I saw an article that you got back from abroad a few months ago. Did you stay in one place or did you travel around?” Caitlyn absently rubbed at her forearm as she answered. “I went to several places, but for most of the time I was in Ionia.” “Oh? With your dad’s family?” “I saw them, of course, but I stayed in the mountains on the northern part of the main island,” she explained. Vi furrowed her brow slightly as Caitlyn shifted, appearing almost uncomfortable as she didn’t elaborate. Her heart reached out to comfort the other girl and a fresh wave of pain flowed through her at the brick wall she was met with instead.

Vi and Caitlyn go for drinks and Vi has a difficult conversation with Sevika.

Okay, so I think I have the rest of "Low Lays the Devil in Me" planned out. As of right now, there are about 5-6 chapters left with the potential for an epilogue. We'll see how it goes. This is a loose outline. Aaaah, I can't believe we're getting that close, though!!

So, I really don’t think I would ever do this, but if I had to rewrite any of my three CaitVi fics, it would be Tethered. Not because I hate it, because I have had so much fun writing it, but because now that I know where it’s going, I kind of wish I took my time to get there more and elaborated on some things more. If that makes sense.

Slight Spoilers for Ch. 8 of "Tethered" Below

A lot of people have been liking how Sevika chewed out Heimerdinger and validated Vi in the latest chapter of "Tethered." I don't really share personal life stuff on here, but I'll say that Sevika's speech, in a very small way, was inspired by my own mom going off on an educator who directly told my mom, my sister (who was 11 at the time), and I that my sister never get into college because of how bad her test anxiety was. My mom basically sounded like Sevika did, and then, when we were back in the car, essentially said to my sister, "Don't listen to anything she just said about you. If you want to get into college, we'll figure it out. Even if it's hard, if you want to do it, then we'll find a way. But never let anyone tell you that you can't do something just because of something like anxiety."

My sister now has a master's degree and is a school counselor who helps underprivileged kids get into college. So, yeah. Long story short, in some ways, Sevika in this fic is very, very loosely inspired by my badass mom.

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 😅

I just powered through your fic and it’s probably up there with my favorites right now. I’m extremely impressed by just how much you’ve written in such a short time. I’m very excited to see more, and also enjoy your take on Cassandra. Probably my favorites right now part tbh.

It means so much to me that you love it so much and that you even took the time to come on here to say this. That is so nice of you 💜💜 you all have just been the best and so supportive!

The way I am enjoying writing this next chapter in "Low Lays the Devil in Me" about the Chembarons is almost worrisome. This is almost as much fun to write as Vi's extraction chapter.

My CaitVi Fic Update Plans

So I have about 1, maaaaybe 2, more chapters of “Tethered” left and then I’ll do probably a few of “Low Lays the Devil in Me” since I’ve favored the shorter fic the last few days. After that, I’ll put the prologue of the Pirate AU!!

I’m very excited

Here it is!

I swear on Janna I'm not abandoning Low Lays the Devil in Me, but I have to write a CaitVi one shot inspired by this. I'm already 3000 words into it and it really only will a one shot. Think of it as like a little balm to the angst in Low Lays the Devil 😂😂
