Thank You For Creating Tethered! Is There A Planned Sequel To It?

I honestly got so caught up in just enjoying writing that I didn't realize I was so close being done with the next chapter 😂 I just have to edit and will hopefully have the next part of Low Lays the Devil in Me up soon!

Petition to make the “post” and “preview” button on ao3’s chapter section in two different places or two different colors or something to differentiate them more. The number of times I’ve almost clicked post instead of preview is a lot 🤣

INCOMING! I have some edits I need to do for the next chapter of "Low Lays the Devil in Me" and I'm hoping to get it done in the next few hours before I have to go to work. You guys wanted a Vi rescue mission? You will soon have 11,500+ words worth of a chapter on it 😉 just know that it gets pretty dark given the situation our characters have found themselves in, but not too graphic.

Ch. 4 "Tethered" CaitVi FanFic

Caitlyn shrugged. “I don’t really get on with my peers.” “You do with Maddie.” She sighed. “I’ve told you. Maddie and I have an…arrangement. I don’t really have a lot of desire to use what little free time I have for a relationship, at least not with her. She can be fun and she is… experienced, as you’ve inferred.” Vi smirked and did a crude gesture with her fingers that made Caitlyn turn a bright red and Vi laughed. “But she’s better in small doses,” Caitlyn finished. She then looked at Vi hesitantly and slowly asked, “do you want to go to the Copper Kettle?” Vi shrugged. “I’m bored and I’ve been stuck inside for two days. You may not have a lot of free time, but my brothers, sister, and I have to find ways to entertain ourselves every day. I don’t handle boredom well.”

Vi and Caitlyn have their first heart to heart and Caitlyn takes Vi around Piltover.

Photos I've Used for Inspiration for "Heart of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi fic

I love the Zaun art I found on the LoL wiki when looking up information to write my fic. It's such a fascinating place and while I loved what Arcane created for Zaun, these photos make it seem like so much bigger! Decided to share just because this art is so incredible that I needed to nerd out about how inspiring it is for my fic.

This is what I imagine the Rising Howl, the elevator that goes from Topside to the Fissures.

Art of The Gray in every day life in Zaun.

Example of the architecture of Zaun--so sick!

Amazing view of how sprawling and massive Zaun actually is (that's Piltover all the way up top)! So much to work with!

The Boundary Markets from below. In the bottom left-middle, you can see what I've placed the Rising Howl on its cable being lowered into the depths of Entresol (unsure if that's actually the Rising Howl).

View of what I've decided is the mid-levels of Entresol. Not sure if I'm understanding the actual LoL canon layout of Zaun, so I've just filled in what I've read with my own ideas. Entresol is the name of the fissure that Vi and family lives in with the Lanes being second the last level.

View of how the Sun Gates connect two different oceans. I interpret it as a much steeper, more complicated version of the Panama Canal.

All the levels of Entresol. It's so vibrant and alive and diverse in comparison to Piltover. I love the dichotomy of these two cities so much.

I just saw that "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" has surpassed 2000 kudos 😱😱😱 That's an absolutely wild number, and I can't wrap my head around the fact that many people have enjoyed my writing. Thank you so much to everyone who has read, commented, left a kudos, and followed me for my CaitVi stories. You are all far too kind to me! ❤️💙

i meant to say yes to the poll :((

that would be so cool to read :))

Haha no worries. To see the votes, I used my main account to vote yes so it cancels out 🤣

Okay, this will be the last reblog on this. My brain totally spiraled way more on this than I anticipated. I originally just wanted to do a cute little one shot and instead my brain was like “just add this” and “add that.” It’s starting to feel more like an idea for a short story or even book length that I’m finding less appealing to have it be fanfiction.

So I’m not going to write it as that and instead have it be a little world building exercise for the moment rather than a fanfic. That way I can have fun with it and flesh it out in my head and continue to work on Low Lays the Devil in Me.

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 🤔🤔

Not me actually crying over a certain part in this next chapter of Low Lays the Devil in Me 😭😭😭

I’m finishing up at work and put my liked playlist on shuffle. Evermore by Taylor Swift comes on and all I can suddenly think about is a divorce AU CaitVi….oooooh noooooo 😬😭 maybe after the pirate AU 🤣
