Literally how I write every chapter 🤣
me, struggling to write: hmm, this part is a little difficult. maybe i should check my planning document, which i created as a helpful tool for my writing process!
the planning document:
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.
If anyone is wondering, a great album to listen to while reading "Low Lays the Devil in Me" is the official soundtrack to "Candela Obscura" by Colm R. McGuinness. It's definitely good for a more seedy underbelly in a steam punk Victorian era setting, which is perfect for this fic's grittier scenes. Plus it's just dope as hell. I've listened to it on repeat when writing Caitlyn working as "Officer Kiramman."
Just got a text saying the party I was going tomorrow is cancelled. So guess who has a completely free day to write the next chapter 🙌🏻
Hi Caitlyn Kirammans.I've read chapter 14 of "Low Lays the Devil in Me," and there's a threatening line Smeech gives Caitlyn about damaging one of her eyes before she takes her to meet the Chembarons, which really caught my attention.
Later in the story, will Caitlyn get her eyepatch? How did it happen at the end of "Arcane?"
I saw your posts on your Tumblr account and you showed me a soundtrack to accompany the story of "Low Lays the Devil in Me" (very interesting, actually ☺️). So:
Would you put up a soundtrack album to accompany readers while they read "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone"? (If you're interested)
Greetings ♥️♥️
I won’t say if she gets the eyepatch cuz I honestly don’t know yet. Given that Jinx and Caitlyn are parallel characters in the show, this scene fits Caitlyn well, even if it’s directly inspired by the one with Smeech and Jinx in season 2. So I haven’t decided yet if Caitlyn still loses her eye.
The link below is what I listened to a lot of while writing “Heart Made of Glass.” I have a YouTube premium account so I’ll listen to stuff like this a lot on a loop.
Mentioned this in a reply on a different post, but thinking about doing a Hades/Persephone CaitVi oneshot, but definitely with a twist (definitely not focusing on the original Greek version lol). Maybe after the next chapter is out 🤔🤔
Me af right now
sometimes you’re hit with a friendly realization that yes, life is good. you have your comfort characters and you have archive of our own. life is actually beautiful
“They-uh, they would have been,” Vi said as evenly as she could. “They died several years ago.” Tobias’ eyes melted into a swirl of sympathy. “Oh, I’m so sorry, Vi.” Vi did her best to keep a neutral face. The Kirammans may not have pulled the trigger on her parents, but they still played a role in their deaths and they didn’t even realize it. The anger and resentment she had—would probably always have—flared up. She looked up and saw Caitlyn give her an encouraging smile. Then there was this girl. Who was trying her best to convince Vi that she did want what’s best for Zaun, that she wanted to help. Could one person do it? Vi wondered. Her parents were one of many revolutionaries and they failed. But they tried changing things from the bottom up. Could it happen from the top down?
“Gods I’ve missed you both so much,” Vi said with such tender sincerity, Caitlyn would have been jealous if her girlfriend wasn’t talking to her breasts. She wanted to laugh at or tease Vi, but she was currently still focused on getting the feeling back in her legs and oxygen to flow through her lungs properly. While she did so, Vi kissed the objects of her affection, careful to avoid overstimulating Caitlyn. Caitlyn couldn’t blame her, as amusing as she found it. She had missed Vi—and her body—so much that she also wanted to worship every inch of her and the evidence of that attempt littered the other woman’s skin.

Ekko arrives at the Lodge. Vander and Caitlyn have a conversation.
I'm 1500 words into the next chapter of "Low Lays the Devil in Me" and I'm just so excited about this story after the short break from it. I love "Tethered," but this cute little Romeo and Juliet steampunk spy fic is just so juicy and fun to write!! And since we're coming up on the last bit of this wild ride, it's even more fun!
I love writing 🥰
Just been rereading some Low Lays the Devil in me and a quick question, is Savika still in Stillwater? Is she okay? 😭
She is back in the Lanes! They mention it briefly in the chapter where Caitlyn goes to the Lodge. Shoola pardoned her.
