Ch. 17: To The Brink "Low Lays The Devil In Me" CaitVi Fanfic

@wrongcaitlyn hi!!!! You are so sweet!!!??? Thank you, what an incredible thing to say! I'd love to read your CaitVi whenever you are able to put it out. 😭❤️💙

Do y'all ever read a fic so good that it makes you want to elevate your own craft and also befriend the writer? It's almost like, "Hi! You write so well that you've inspired me to embark on a creative training arc. Also, can I yell about the character in your dms because you get it?"

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?

Ch. 23: Epilogue "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi Fanfic

This is the final chapter of the CaitVi series "I Will Give You My Rebel Heart."

See below for a little sappy message on wrapping up this epic, massive series.

I'm copying and pasting this from the end note section of this final chapter:

Okay, so let me be a bit of a sap for a moment.

I never, ever, ever in my wildest dreams thought I could ever actually complete a fic (or any piece of writing) of this length, let alone 2 in a series that make up 350,000 words! According to Google, the average word count for a book is 70-100,000. So, since I started this fic in December of 2024, I have spent the last six months almost to the day writing over 3 novels' worth of words. Now, working in an established world with established characters (a lot of which I also used from official LoL lore) definitely helped with world-building and character creation. However, that is still a wild feat to accomplish, and I’m not so humble as to not be proud of myself for writing two semi-coherent stories with 350,000 words and making them up, for the most part, as I went.

That all being said, I’m not 100% sure if I would have done this at the pace that I had with the excitement that I had if it weren’t for how amazing and kind you all have been. The fact that there about 1200 comments (that’s halved from what the actual number shows because I’ve replied to almost every single one, so I’m not counting mine) and I’ve only had 2 hate comments that I’ve had to delete is absolutely wild given that this is the internet and that CaitVi can be a bit of a controversial pairing in the fandom. What I’m trying to say is thank you to every single person who has read this, left a comment, left a kudos, subbed to the fic/my ao3 account, bookmarked, followed me on social media, been inspired by this story to write a fic/create a piece of art, and everything in between. This has been one of the most creatively fulfilling things I’ve ever done, and I appreciate every person who was kind enough to give it a chance and more.

This story is not perfect, I’m sure there are more than a few plot holes or underdeveloped parts and other issues that come with fanfic writing without an editor and problems that come with making it all up as you go along, but I don’t care. This story and this version of these characters mean so much to me (looking at you, my queen Cassandra Kiramman), and this will forever have a special place in my heart. Thank you to everyone who has joined me on this wild ride. It has meant the world to me ❤️💙

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)

Ch. 6: Diesel is Desire "Tethered" CaitVi FanFic

Caitlyn sucked in a sharp gasp and looked up at Vi, meeting her eyes in the mirror. Vi immediately slapped her hand over her eyes and suddenly wished the floor beneath her would open up and swallow her whole. “I’m sorry!” she rushed out, her voice cracking. She could feel how hot her cheeks were, both from arousal and humiliation. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean—I forgot the mirror was there—I only saw for a second—“ She stopped talking, her brain moving too quickly for her to get a full sentence out. Through the tether, Vi felt mild embarrassment, but was mostly dominated by flattery and a shared arousal. But there was no anger and Vi felt herself relax ever so slightly. “It’s okay,” Caitlyn said, her voice slightly strained. “I believe you, Vi.” The silence between them was incredibly awkward and Vi was still fighting the heat that simmered beneath her skin. We should probably talk about this as well at some point, she thought, tightening the hand she still held over her eyes.

Vi shows Caitlyn Zaun as their feelings for one another continue to grow.

In the few hours since I’ve posted the last chapter of “Low Lays the Devil in Me” and thus wrapping up that series, a few people have asked in the comments if I’ll do any one shots or anything like that in the AU.

While I love and appreciate that people really like my version the Arcane/LoL world and characters, I do not see myself doing anything else in this AU. I almost never say never, but it’s highly unlikely.

I am very happy and satisfied with where this story has ended and I’ve never been one milk a story just cuz I like the world/characters. To me, Caitlyn and Vi’s story in this world is complete and I don’t have any desire to further it.

Gods this fic really is everything. The fanart to come from it is so fucking beautiful, too!

It could be the 1 beer too many I had tonight but I just saw an edit of Vi and Jinx to the song “The Ten Plagues” from the Prince of Egypt and I am *emotional*

Ch. 15: Reassignment "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi Fanfic

Janna preserve me, Caitlyn thought in frustration. She shut the door shut just hard enough to startle the man awake, who shot up like a gun, a piece of paper he had drooled on sticking to his face. “I don’t have your money,” he said quickly and sleep slurred. “Captain Reese, I’m Officer Caitlyn Kiramman. I was sent over here from North Piltover Station for reassignment,” Caitlyn stated. The man blinked his dull, watery blue eyes several times at her, as if he wasn’t sure if she was real or not. “You’re who from where?” he asked as he pulled the paper off of him.

Caitlyn receives her reassignment from Marcus and begins her work for the Chembarons.

Ch. 5 "Tethered" CaitVi Fanfic

“She already feels really bad, okay. You don’t need to make it worse,” she spat, sitting up and looking Cassandra in the eye with a stubborn furrow of her brow. “Vi, it’s okay,” Caitlyn whispered, but she ignored her and just glared at Cassandra. The woman met her gaze, but narrowed her eyes as they darted back and forth between the two teenagers suspiciously. “You two are getting on strangely well considering what you said when I was here last,” Vander observed, also looking at them curiously. Neither of the girls said anything. People knew about their shared emotions, but talking about it with others seemed almost wrong. Too personal. Vi looked at Caitlyn and they both sent through the tether a mutual understanding to not discuss it with others unless they had to.

Vander and Cassandra are not pleased with their daughters. More experiments are done on the tether.
