Caitlyn laughed again and shook her head at Vi, who could only grin at the happiness that radiated off the other girl. Vi suddenly wished she could freeze time in that very moment of Caitlyn laughing in Vi’s childhood bedroom before everything would change and there was no going back. She raised her hand and pushed Caitlyn’s hair behind her ear, then cupped her cheek. Caitlyn sighed and gripped her fingers, pulling Vi closer as she kissed her palm so tenderly it made the back of Vi’s eyes burn. “I could never have done this without you, Cupcake,” Vi whispered. Caitlyn shook her head. “You are so strong, Violet,” she replied and brought a hand up to Vi’s chest, laying it over her heart. “And you love so fiercely. You are the daughter of revolutionaries. You never would have taken everything my people did lying down. At one point, sooner or later, you would have acted. You love your people too much.” “No. No more of this my people and your people,” Vi said, and the intensity of her tone made blue eyes widen in surprise. “Our people. You and I have bled and lied and killed and sacrificed for this moment. Soon, this will be over, and we can begin building a future that all our people deserve. We can be the ones who show them what they are capable of when we work together. We will show them, Cait. We will show them all.”

The alliance begins its assault on Stillwater while Vander and Cassandra confront Bolbok.
The way I am enjoying writing this next chapter in "Low Lays the Devil in Me" about the Chembarons is almost worrisome. This is almost as much fun to write as Vi's extraction chapter.

Hello again Caitlyn Kirammans, it's me, the one with the questions. I thank you for answering me yesterday (or 2 days ago) for the questions about your story Low Lays the Devil in Me and the future of it.
I still have some doubts about it like:
Low Lays the Devil in Me takes place in 2 scenarios which are the corruption in the Piltover Council with Caitlyn and the Shimmer cover-up in Stillwater Prison with Vi (if I remember correctly, correct me if I'm wrong🤔) and Sevika will be Vi's partner in the prison.
1: Will Sevika have some relevance in Stillwater's story and her relationship with Vi? (maybe inspired by Orange the New Black if you know the series or how it happens inside the prisons)
2: Will there be some romance as Sevika x OC?
3: Are you a League of Legends veteran?
4: Will you make fanfics from other fandoms in the future or exclusively from arcane?
greetings✋✋✋
Hello! I am happy to answer questions 😁 and you are right. Vi is focusing on getting evidence of shimmer production in Stillwater and Caitlyn is focusing on Corina and the Chembarons’ influence on the Council.
1. I do have serious plans for Sevika. This first bit of the story unfortunately with her and Vi in prison, we don’t get to interact with her too much since Caitlyn only has access to her for 30 min a week. But! They have talked about getting both Vi and Sevika out of prison. They just need to gain access to the shimmer factory, which takes time.
2. I don’t currently have any plans for Sevika being involved in any romance sub plots but that’s not because I don’t want to. I am making 75% of this up as I go along, so if it comes up later that Sevika has chemistry with someone, then I will definitely explore that through Caitlyn’s eyes.
3. I have never once played League and I don’t have plans to. I don’t think I’ve even seen more than 10 seconds of gameplay 😅 but I have done a lot of reading up of LoL lore of Noxus, Piltover, and Zaun. I find the world building of this game very interesting, but LoL itself is not the kind of game I’d like to play and the horror stories of its fanbase frighten me 😅
4. I have written fanfic in the past for other fandoms, but never with this kind of excitement and the ones I’ve written for Arcane are far and away my most well received fics. I won’t say I’ll stick exclusively to Arcane, but I don’t foresee me being gripped by another show like Arcane has gripped me anytime soon. Never say never though.
Thanks for the questions!! ❤️💙
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.
The epilogue of "Low Lays the Devil in Me" is written (it's not very long), but I want to sit with it a bit and be sure that it's exactly how I want it before I post it. And I want to give people time to read the last chapter for a hot second.
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.

Five years later...
I have 4500 words of the next chapter written, but the Vikings are currently losing and I'm annoyed lol. We'll see how much I'm able to focus if we lose the game :( maybe writing will help get my mind off of it
The fact that I am behind Critical Role’s new Calamity series should tell you how much of a choke hold Low Lays the Devil in Me has on me
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.
“Does this have something to do with why you wanted Caitlyn to escort me to this?” Vi asked with a raised eyebrow. Cassandra smiled and gave Vi a look that told her she was right. “Let’s see if, by the end of the night, you can guess why, specifically, I wanted that spotlight on you and Caitlyn, and by extension, myself.” Vi thought back, again, to Caitlyn wondering why her mom was playing chess with her and changing the rules. Vi felt like this was one of those moments, but she just couldn’t figure out why Cassandra was playing it with her, as well. “Ah, here comes Councilor Bolbok,” Cassandra said, plastering on a bright smile. Game time, Vi thought to herself. She took a sip of her drink and braced herself for the onslaught.
Vi attends the Kiramman Gala as Caitlyn's date, officially being introduced to Piltover high society. If that weren't nerve wracking enough, Cassandra has another strange task for Vi to complete during the party.
