Maybe after “Tethered” while I write the pirate AU???? Ugh so many ideas

I have been watching 911 while I draw and now I need a firefighter caitvi au. Vi as search and rescue and cait as paramedic

Can I bribe any writers???? I need it like air.

Okay, my hand is feeling much better, and I can write again. I'll get a chapter or two of "Tethered" up first. I'm focusing on that one because I feel bad I stopped writing in the middle of the original version, so I want to get a few more out for those who like the story. Then I'll get back into "Low Lays the Devil in Me."

idk if anyone’s asked this yet, but since the council positions are passed thru the eldest child … what happens if caitlyn & vi are both councilors and have a kid together?

(hope ur left hand’s okay btw!!! love all ur fics you’re an amazing writer ❤️)

Thank you for the well wishes! It’s healing, but still a little painful. The wound is right on the bottom edge of my left palm, which is right where I rest it when typing, so definitely awkward still. On the mend though!

I haven’t come up with an answer to that, idk if I ever will, but I have thought of that conundrum. It could be their second child gets Vi’s council seat or they could have one of Mylo’s kids if ever had any take over. There’s lots of ways it could happen.

So, mainly my pride is injured, but I did hurt my left hand a bit tripping and I used my hand to break my fall. Just scraped up, nothing even close to broken or sprained, so all good. I might be a little slow on any updates just because it's awkward to type. Obviously I'm going to sit here and force myself to type through the pain, but just wanted to let you all know. Will be back at in earnest soon with updates for Tethered and Low Lays the Devil in Me!

for your tethered story, how would the tether react if one of them became sick or even injured?

That has not been addressed yet but it will be at least discussed in the story.

Ch. 4: Lessons "Tethered" CaitVi Fanfic

Caitlyn’s reverie of Vi’s attractively full lips was interrupted by Grady. “Miss Kiramman, shall I call in your art tutor, and she can have you begin a lesson in still life drawing with Miss Vi as your first subject?” Vi snickered as she watched a mortified Caitlyn blush from her neck to her hairline. She briefly fantasized about asking her mother to fire Grady. “I’m sorry, Professor. I promise I’ll focus,” she said in a strained voice. Vi continued to quietly laugh at her embarrassment, and Caitlyn clenched her jaw to resist the urge to growl in frustration.

Caitlyn learns what it’s like to live with a roommate, and Vi is forced to attend Caitlyn’s school lessons.

I know I just put out the new chapter for "Tethered," but I'm extra excited for the next one. It's a completely new one, besides the prologue, of this rewrite.

Ch. 3: Experiments and Introductions "Tethered" Rewrite CaitVi Fanfic

“The tether. It doesn’t like those crystals,” Caitlyn explained, taking in a stuttered breath. “It’s afraid of them.” All three scientists gave each other a questioning look before Jayce turned to Vi and Caitlyn. “The Arcane can’t feel,” he said slowly. “It’s a natural phenomenon. Like rain or an earthquake. It has no emotions.” “Tell that to the thing in my chest that’s scared, because it sure as shit ain’t me that’s afraid,” Vi said with a frown, annoyed that this scientist refuted them when he wasn’t the one experiencing it. Viktor walked over to the chest and picked up a crystal, then held it out to the tether. The white blue light grew brighter, almost blinding, and the fear became stronger. The need to escape from the room was almost uncontrollable as Vi felt a burning sensation behind her eyes. “Please, stop! It’s afraid of it,” Caitlyn cried out, tears in her eyes.

The tether between Vi and Caitlyn is tested and experimented on, which results in a discovery.

"Tethered" Rewrite: Prologue, Ch. 1 & 2, CaitVi Fanfic

Soulmate. Two Spirits in one soul. Inextricably bound together for eternity in perfect harmony—until mankind intervened. When teenagers Vi and Caitlyn are caught up in an Arcane explosion, a magical tether is formed between them that won’t let them be further than 15 feet apart from one another, physically and dangerously wrenching them back together if they try to separate. With the study of magic banned in Piltover, the brightest scientific minds will have a hard time figuring out how to break their tether. As the magical bond between them evolves, so do their feelings for one another. Soon, Vi and Caitlyn begin to question whether they truly want the tether to be broken and wonder just how far they are willing to go to ensure that it isn’t.

PLEASE READ THE NOTES AT THE START OF THE FIC!!!

Inspired loosely by @somewillwin's soulmate AU. Your art is amazing! Thank you for sharing it.

I'm already three chapters into the new "Tethered" rewrite (since I can copy and paste a lot of it right now, it's going by very quickly), and it's already, in my opinion, a more interesting story. I think I will keep the alternative POV as I solidify the kind of story I want to tell. Hopefully you guys like the changes. <3

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.

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:

"Tethered" Rewrite Underway

Alright everyone, the results are in and the "Tethered" rewrite will happen. There were also 13 votes for either yes or do what you want in the comment section of the chapter for "Tethered" that I put up asking people to vote or leave a comment if they don't have tumblr. Thank you everyone who voted and for all the kind words that you'll read anything I write, regardless of what happens.

Here's the plan:

I will keep the old "Tethered" story up for those who like this current version. I will mark it "abandoned" in the title and I will turn off comments on it, too. I will link the new rewrite in the chapter one notes when it comes out as well as in put the link in a new chapter update so that anyone who is subscribed to the story will know when the new version comes out.

I will say that I will write the first few chapters to see how I like the back and forth POVs. If I don't like it, then the story will be from Vi's POV exclusively. I am wondering if this will actually be a two part series and I could do what I did with my "Rebel Heart" series and have the first one be from Vi's POV and the second from Caitlyn's. We'll have to see.

Since I saw where the votes were going, I started the rewrite and have finished the prologue that I've written for it. When I'm ready, I'll post the prologue and the first chapter at the same time. I'm really excited to share this world and really do think I can do a much better job at writing an intense love story between these two characters. Hopefully I can get this out soon.

For what it's worth, the new version of this story will be both very different and very similar. I will copy and paste several scenes and maybe even whole chapters from the old fic into the rewritten one, but I strongly suggest everyone who wants to read this version of the story read through every familiar scene, as you never know what I will choose to change. The premise will still remain the same, for the most part. I will just slow the pace down, probably considerably, and go much more in depth into the actual tether itself.

Finally, I'll be sure to do a proper dedicated shout out to artist somewillwin in both the first post for this story and in the fic notes since I realized a bit ago that I was drawing inspiration from their artwork without fully realizing it.

Thanks for reading this long post! Read you guys soon!

Hey, for Tethered I'd suggest a Caitlyn centered companion story/ sequel rather than a full rewrite. Thanks for writing!

I thought about that as well, but because of the lore expansion, there's a lot that I would need to rewrite to fit that :(

Vote for a "Tethered" Rewrite

So, as much as I am tempted to rewrite "Tethered," I also don't want to disappoint the people who like this story as it is. However, I will say that I think I could create a much better story since this was initially supposed to only be 3 chapters. I will say that, to me, it's turned into this really amazing world building idea and intense love story that, in my opinion, I haven't done justice.

So, vote below if you'd be okay with a rewrite with alternating Cait and Vi POVs and deeper world building with Runeterra's magic system. If majority votes yes, I will begin the rewrite and start the Pirate AU after "Low Lays the Devil in Me" is finished since I'm not too far from being done with that one.

If "no" wins, then I'll just stick to Caitlyn just talking at Vi to move the story along and then finish it up in a chapter or two as I originally intended.

in terms of tetherd (i think i spelt that wrong)

you could do it like an extra story like you did in the heart made of glass series where you did the extra perspectives ?!!!

maybe just an idea but other than that i absolutely love your fics they’re soooooooo good ,, big fan of tetherd and the burglar one

your writing style is just amazing

That wouldn't work for what I'm thinking. Caitlyn needs to update Vi on her years she spent travelling and, for it to make sense to the reader, it would require like, 3000 words of just straight up exposition. I'm on my third draft trying to find a way to make it more interesting, but I know, without a doubt, it would be better if you all experienced it with Caitlyn.

And for what I have planned for the lore of the tether, I know it would be better to build up to it rather than have this all seem out of left field like it would now.

Thank for the suggestion and the kind words!!!

Damn it all. I am so torn. I don't really want to rewrite "Tethered," but Caitlyn's journey throughout Runeterra that she experienced is such a cool idea that to waste it on an exposition or even just a flashback chapter upsets me. And it's inspiring me to do a whole new story with full world building and exploring the magic of Runeterra that would explain the tether more.

I am deeply, deeply tempted to rewrite the story and have it be alternating perspectives between Vi and Caitlyn and change some things now that I know where the story is going to have it make more sense. Ugh!

Edit: I also know that a lot of people really like this story and I would hate to disappoint them, but I honestly think I could write a much better version of it that would be much more satisfying.

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!!

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.

In case anyone is wanting a sneak peak at the next chapter of "Low Lays the Devil in Me," here is the playlist I'm listening to while writing it. It's title is very...appropriate 😈

I’m going to be honest, I was worried I was starting to lose steam/inspiration for “Low Lays the Devil in Me.” It’s probably why I focused on writing “Tethered” for a few chapters. But I forced myself to just take ch. 16 a paragraph at a time on my phone for the last week and then forced myself to sit at my computer yesterday and finish the chapter.

Turns out forcing yourself to write even when you’re not inspired works. I’m now extra excited to keep working on it 🤣

Aaaaand I did it again. Lol Caitlyn has been there once, for the Remembering ceremony back in the first fic. Any chance someone wants to fix my memory of my own story that I made up so I don't ever forget anything??? lol

When you make really long sequel to a really long fic, sometimes you make a small continuity error 😬 I fixed a tiny thing at the end Ch. 16 of "Low Lays the Devil in Me." I forgot Caitlyn had never actually been to the Sumps, she went to the level above it. Oops.

Ch. 16: Next Steps “Low Lays the Devil in Me” CaitVi Fanfic

When the room was empty, Corina went into a cupboard and took out a bottle of wine with two chalices.

“A toast,” she said, handing a glass to Caitlyn. “To the start of a beautiful partnership.”

Caitlyn gave her a smirk and nodded her head before clinking their glasses together. “To the downfall of Cassandra Kiramman.”

A cold smile curled up Corina’s face and Caitlyn only just barely held back her fingers from twitching towards her weapon.

Caitlyn completes her first mission with the Chembarons and meets with members of the alliance to discuss next steps.

Hey! So I am working on the next chapter of Low Lays the Devil, but it's just been a busy and exhausting week. I have three days off of work after tonight and my only plans are taxes and laundry, so hopefully I can get the next chapter up soon!

I am feeling things. *screams into a pillow*

Maybe one day I’ll do an AU where Felicia lives and Caitlyn meets her. What a dynamic that would be

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.

YES I GOT YOUR LETTER YES IM DOING BETTER I KNOW THAT IT'S OVER I DON'T NEED YOUR CLOSUREEEEEEEE

also uhm Sevika smash

Hahaha easily the weirdest song in her catalogue 🤣 Sevika is an absolute smash!!

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.

Ch. 10: Listen to My Heartbeat Looking for You "Tethered" CaitVi Fanfic

As the sound of conversation and merriment filled her childhood home, she felt a small smile pull at her lips. However, if one were to look closely enough, they would see a faint sadness behind dull blue speckled eyes as Vi, subconsciously, rubbed at a spot in the center of her chest as her heart pulled at her to look for bright blue eyes in the crowd. Vi sucked in a quiet, shuddered breath as the agony of the missed connection flooded through her. She clenched her jaw and let it happen, like allowing a large wave to overtake her and remained calm until she was safe above the water again. Her heart beat mournfully for a moment, but then quieted down again as the ache soon left her. Vi glanced around and was glad that everyone seemed to be too caught up in the celebration to notice the few seconds of quiet pain Vi allowed herself to feel before it faded. With one more deep breath, she took a sip of her beer and went to actually partake in the festivities.
