I Finally Posted My CaitVi Pirate AU After Months Of Talking About It, And AO3 Goes Down/is Being Hella

Ch. 25: The Assignment Part II "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" CaitVi Fanfic

“I’m assuming we can trust that our teenage spies will be able to keep their hands to themselves and remain focused on the objective?” Mel asked with a hint of doubt in her tone. Vi and Caitlyn glared at the woman. “Would you like to come with us to be our chaperone? Or is that too far away from the safety of your ivory tower?” Vi asked with a sneer. “It is hardly an outlandish question,” Mel defended. “We’ve all been teenagers in love before and we cannot take any chances that this assignment will be compromised because of hormones.” Vi felt her ears go hot at the woman suggesting they were in love, but pushed aside her embarrassment. “Worry about the things you can control, Councilor Medarda, and we’ll do the same,” Caitlyn said, her voice borderline condescending.

Vi and Caitlyn are given their first assignment together as members of the alliance.

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.

Dilemma

Hmmm. I'm kind of thinking of doing something I haven't done yet and going back to change up something super, super minor about Heart Made of Glass in the very beginning. It wouldn't effect the plot that's already happened at all (or if it does it would be so minor I think some people might not even notice), but it would help amp up the drama ever so slightly for future plans.

Not sure how I feel about changing something I've already posted beyond grammar/spelling errors. If any one who reads "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" would care, let me know. Still pretty on the fence about it.

This is what happens when you start a story and post before knowing where it'll go. So far I've been able to avoid this pitfall, but I'm honestly surprised it hasn't been an issue yet given how quickly and casually I've been throwing the plot together. Besides, I've liked the creative challenge of molding the plot to what I've already written in my "canon" of the fic.

In the chapter one notes of "Tethered:"

"I think it'll be probably about three chapters"

Six chapters and over 37,000 words later...😂

Ch. 14: Immovable Objects "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi Fanfic

“Is it true that you have a secret Vault only your bloodline has access to filled with unimaginable wealth? Or is it all just a legend?” She rolled her eyes. Of all the things people wanted to know regarding the secrets of the noble and oldest of Piltover’s Houses, treasure was almost always the first thing they asked about. Predictable, she thought in annoyance. “Why are you so interested in gold, Smeech?” she replied with a low voice. “Shall I tell the Chembarons that you are unhappy with what they pay you?” A low growl from him made her smirk. She heard the whirling of gears and suddenly she sensed that Smeech was very close to her face. “I would like to see you try that kind of wit with the Chembarons.” His voice shuddered in an almost anticipatory, sadistic joy.

Caitlyn, finally, meets the Chembarons.

I’ve had a theory that one of your ancestors put a mind control substance in the water that makes it impossible to dislike the ~Kirammans~ caitlynkirammansrifle's fanfic.

I'm convinced it's true ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lol

Thank you!

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone who has read Heart of Glass, My Mind of Stone, if you've left a comment, kudos, bookmark, or even followed me on here, left an ask, made that amazing fan art!! Thank you so much!

It's been exactly one month since I first posted it, not realizing where the story was going, and it's been an extremely fulfilling creative experience. The fact that it's miles above my most well received story, especially given that I haven't written in years, is the cherry on top.

As a treat, I'll announce here and maybe soon in the notes area of the fic, but Heart Made of Glass is getting a sequel! I already know the general plot and the opening scene.

There's still a good bit left of story for Heart Made of Glass, but we're definitely in the later half of it.

Thank you again. Now to get back to writing the next chapter :D

Okay, the next chapter is done but I still need to edit and I’ve run out of time to do that. I can probably get that done tonight or early tomorrow. We’ll see how work goes. I gotta say, I’m pretty proud of how it turned out 😁

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.
