Ch. 3: The Cupcake Sting "The Harrowing" CaitVi Pirate AU Fanfic

Not maddie being the girl that cait sneaks in her room omgg

Also Vi please Caitlyn cannot handle your langiage she will implode🙏🏻🙏🏻

😈😈 haha poor Caitlyn.

so... who's going to write a pirate AU for these two mfers?

In order to avoid time in Stillwater Prison, Vi must complete community service after getting caught stealing from Jayce Talis, the protégé of the wealthy and intelligent Councilor Cassandra Kiramman. Instead of spending her nights working at The Last Drop and her days looking after her siblings in Zaun, she now has to be the errand girl to one of the most powerful people in Piltover. However, Vi soon realizes that something isn’t right. What secret project is Jayce working on? Why does the councilor keep sending Vi on strange assignments? And why won’t Caitlyn Kiramman leave Vi alone about what life is like in Zaun? Something is festering in the underbelly of both cities and Vi is beginning to suspect that the Kirammans know more than anyone realizes.

OR

A story of what could have happened if Hextech was never invented (with some liberties taken with both LoL and Arcane canon).

So I’ve done a thing and have written almost 30,000 words in three days. I’m addicted to writing this. It won’t be as heavy as the show is, I don’t think, and I already have a chapter by chapter plan for where it’s going.

This is a slow burn with a lot of characters other than Caitlyn and Vi being the focus at times. But don’t worry, they’re still a very prominent feature and the main ship, they just won’t be the only thing being focused on. So there may be whole chapters where they don’t speak or interact.

I made this tumblr to share the story and talk about it outside of the comments section of ao3 if anyone wants it, but I’m honestly not a huge fan of any social media so not sure how active I’ll be on it outside of posting updates and answering people about what I’ve written (without sharing spoilers for upcoming chapters).

Hope I don’t regret it 😅

"Heart of Glass, My Mind of Stone" Sequel Plans

Okay, as we're getting closer to the end of "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone" fic, I want to kind of lay out what I want to happen, schedule/planning out wise.

First, I am going to go through all of "Heart of Glass" and clean some things up. There are, albeit minor, bits that I wrote but never did anything with that I will remove from the fic or alter (in the first few chapters, Caitlyn is mentioned/referred to attending a school in Piltover that I never did anything with, for example). None of these will affect the plot or change the characters in any ways, but this is one of the side effects of making up the story and posting it as you go that I do want to address.

I am still going to release a kind "deleted scenes" or "alternative perspectives" scenes chapter, but note that it won't be very long. Not sure if I'll attach it to "Heart of Glass" after the epilogue or make it its own stand alone that I have be apart of the "I Will Give You My Rebel Heart" series. It would be one chapter and I would be clear on what the contents of each scene will be and the structure of the chapter will be like little vignettes with their own sections. I plan on doing this after the fic is finished and after I clean it up.

As of right now, I don't know when the sequel will be written. I might take a short break if I feel like it after "Heart of Glass" is finished or I just might continue since I've been on this incredible stretch of time being so inspired. I've been planning some of the sequel out as I've been wrapping up "Heart of Glass," but it's not fully fleshed out by any means. While I don't plan on knowing how it ends before the first chapter is released, I do still want to have some goals/plot points to hit in mind.

Snippet from the next chapter of "Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone"

Powder answered. “You need to separate CT02 and 03. They should never be mixed in their pure forms. Dilution is key to decreasing destabilization. Chem is volatile, but once you break down the compounds to their weakest and spread the power out throughout the machine you use it in, to avoid too much heat build up, you should be fine.”

Powder handed Jayce back the newly edited paper and he read it as if it held the answers to the universe itself. “I need to test this for myself,” he stated. He looked at Vi, with an almost ecstatic excitement. “Vi! Oh, Caitlyn, when did you get here? Doesn’t matter. Vi, I need CT02 and 03. Do you know where to find that in Zaun?”

Vi looked at Powder with a raised eyebrow. Powder smirked. Vi groaned. “Don’t. Don’t say it.”

Powder cackled. “Viktor always has Chemtech compounds on hand, Vi. I’m sure he’d love to see you.”

“Great! Vi, I need you to go to this Viktor and get me CT02 and 03, ten pounds of each compound,” Jayce instructed. “I’ll want plenty to work with and with some left over for back up.”

Vi scoffed. “Ten pounds each? I can’t carry that much weight all the way back with my crutch. Can’t we send a courier?”

Jayce shook his head. “Sorry, Vi, but I can’t let anyone else knowing what I’m doing. Councilor’s orders.”

“I’ll help,” Caitlyn volunteered, her smile far too sweet for Vi’s liking.

"Low Lays the Devil" in Me Update

Hey, readers! Great news, "Low Lays the Devil in Me" will now be getting updates as soon as early next week. Thank you for being patient. For those that didn't know, I was spending my writing time getting about 50k words written of the "Tethered" CaitVi rewrite that I did. I felt bad that I abandoned the old version for the rewrite and wanted to make it up to those who liked that story by giving them a lot of updates. 50,000 words in 15 days I feel like definitely made up for it 😂

This means I will now be alternating between "Low Lays the Devil in Me" and "Tethered." To be honest, though, I don't think it'll take me too much longer to get the last of "Devil" out since there's maybe about 6ish (?) chapters left of the story. We'll see how that goes (I always underestimate how long a fic will be, it seems 😂). Anyways, fret not! I will begin writing the next chapter of "Devil" tomorrow 🙌🏻

So, I've really started to flesh out the CaitVi Pirate AU. I'm sooooo stoked for it, you guys. It's going to be very different than anything I've written, which means it'll be challenging, but I am chomping at the bit to really get going on it. I don't think I'll wait for "Low Lays the Devil in Me" to be done, so I will probably start posting chapters after I'm done with "Tethered."

okay but silco is an honest smash

Haha I’ll plead the lesbian fifth on this one 🤣 I’ll admit that Silco has a certain charming bit to him, but if I *had* to pick a male smash in Arcane, I’d probably pick Jayce (only if he’s in his S2 act 3 look/fit though)

Idk wtf happened but none of my edits in AO3 were changed and I didn’t know until I posted ch 22 of Heart Made of Glass, Mind of Stone. I took the chapter down and will have to wait a few hours before I’m able to fix it. There were some pretty heavy changes made so it was easier to just take it down. Sorry everyone!!! If you managed to read it before even the email update went out, you get a preview, albeit an inaccurate one. lol

Heyyy I love your fic thank you so much for it

I was just wondering does silco not exist in this universe?

As of right now, no. If that changes, his name will appear in the character tags. Glad you love it! 💜
