I'm 1500 Words Into The Next Chapter Of "Low Lays The Devil In Me" And I'm Just So Excited About This

out of curiosity — do you think you’ll ever do a chapter in Low Lays the Devil in Me or a separate fic detailing Vi’s POV while in Stillwater? (Not that I’m complaining about a Cait-focused fic — she’s my fave character & I love angsty storylines in her POV!)

(also just wanted to say that I absolutely love both fics! they’re easily my comfort fics and one of the best ones i’ve ever read. any time there’s an update it instantly makes my day 🫶)

Hi! I'm so glad you like and I love that it makes your day!!! ❤️💙

I don't know if I'll do a POV chapter of Vi in Stillwater. I do promise that her time in there will not be swept under the rug! I could either do a POV chapter a bit later or do a separate fic like I did for some of the non-Vi centered scenes in "Heart Made of Glass: Perspectives." Since I'm making up 75% of this as a I go long, it's hard to say yes or no explicitly to anything. Not ruling it out, but no promises either.

If you still were looking at different prompts for your writing challenge, here's one:

A scene from a reverse au in a modern setting. A zaunite Caitlyn and a piltovan Vi's first meeting (whether they swapped in a way that makes Vi a Kiramman + Cait Vander's kid or if The kirammans are zaunite and Vi and Co are piltovan is up to you). Possibly in a bar where Caitlyn is the bartender

Forgive me if the prompt is not written in a way that makes the most sense, I was struggling with how to word it as I haven't really written a prompt before.

I shall take it into consideration! Still not 100% sure if I'll even write a one-shot, but I am open to it. Thanks for the prompt!!

Ch. 2: Everybody Wants to Be My Enemy "Low Lays the Devil in Me" CaitVi FanFic

“I don’t think you’re stupid, Mohan,” Caitlyn said quietly, but resolutely as she met his gaze. He hummed, almost like he didn’t believe her. “Well, then throw me a bone. It’s okay if you’re pissed at your boss for giving you an assignment that he knew would fuck with you emotionally.” She sighed harshly and ran her fingers through her hair. Opening up a little bit wouldn’t hurt, she thought. “Fine, I am angry,” she stated, allowing some of her fury to break through. Mohan just stared at her, taking a drag from his cigarette. After several moments, he nodded. “Okay, then. Let’s guard your family’s shit,” he said, stamping his cigarette out.

“Hey, we’ll figure it out. You’re working with an expert thief, remember?” she said with a confident grin. Caitlyn snorted good-naturedly. “Oh, the same one who is only here because she was caught stealing red handed, by present company, nonetheless?” Vi playfully glared at Caitlyn, which turned into her own laugh. “My point is that we’ll figure it out. Between your brains and my brawn, we’ll be okay.” Caitlyn was quiet for a long moment before she met Vi’s eye with such soft affection, Vi nearly became breathless. “What?” she whispered. Caitlyn looked as if she was debating saying what she was thinking as she opened and closed her mouth a few times. “Of all the places you could have broken into, I’m really glad it was Jayce’s,” she finally said.

Please make them happy🙏🏻

I promise I'm working on it!! 😭😂💙❤️

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.

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 mean...there's a reason why 3 of my major fics are them meeting 2 seconds after this very moment...

Okay, so I decided to go with it. It'll make for a better story. Essentially, if anyone wants a sneak peak, I changed it so that Vander and Cassandra have never met. If you remember, he escorted her with Grayson when Vi met her for the first time and she says something about talking with Vander about Vi's community service. And then Cassandra mentions meeting him briefly it in the most recent chapter, but I've never actually written a scene with them.

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.
