Hey!! A small note, "cupiditas" alone means greed, "gloriae cupiditas" would be ambition, but "ambitio" is the correct term!
Good to know! I just used google translate. I’ll keep it in the fic since in world it’s a different language but I’ll change the note
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.
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.
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’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
Ch. 9 spoilers in the art below.
@nogaph has really outdone themselves yet again!!! The moment right before Vi breaks the tether and it broke my heart all over again. So stunning! Please show them some love! It's incredible ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ They even did the mirrored injured knuckles! Love it!
Please make them happy🙏🏻
I promise I'm working on it!! 😭😂💙❤️
I need two more hands and one more brain because I just want to write both the next chapter of "The Harrowing" and "Tethered" at the same time 😭
Caitlyn was surprised to see Vi actually facing the mirror, but then felt her heart sink when she saw why. Her brow was furrowed with frustrated concentration as she carefully attempted to apply concealer to her face tattoo. She growled in annoyance when the black ink peaked through what looked like one of several layers. Vi huffed and threw the concealer brush onto the counter, which bounced harmlessly into the sink. “Fuck,” she whispered angrily and hung her head in defeat. Caitlyn stepped in and slowly put a hand on Vi’s shoulder, which made her whip her head up in surprise. “Cupcake, I didn’t hear you. I—” she said, then as she remembered what she had just been doing, went to wipe off the make up with the back of her hand, which only smeared it across her cheek. “Damn it. I—I’m sorry, I should have asked to use it—” Caitlyn put a finger on her lips and Vi silenced herself. She patted the counter and Vi pulled herself up to sit on it. Without speaking a word, Caitlyn grabbed a washcloth and wet it before she gently wiped the smeared and ineffective makeup off, tenderly cupping Vi’s chin as she did so. Vi closed her eyes, either in shame or to accept the comfort Caitlyn offered her, and let out a shaky breath. “I don’t want your mom to see it,” she quietly confessed.
I made a bluesky profile for my writing if anyone is interested in a follow, but I'm not sure if I'll keep it. Given that this is a side blog, I feel like I'd actually be able to be more interactive on something like bluesky and I absolutely refuse to make a twitter account. Hope I don't regret this 😅 This means I'll be able to give you a follow back if you follow it. Just no one be too weird and we'll get along great.

'ao3 needs a like and dislike button'
what you need, my algorithm-rotten minded friend, is a grip
In the quiet of the night, with the moonlight shining through their window, a lead weight that Caitlyn had done her best to ignore since long before they left Piltover sat heavily in her chest as she thought back to what Ambessa said about the challenges they would face when they returned home. “Are you still in this fight, Violet?” Caitlyn whispered, unable to stop the way her hand gripped Vi’s almost too hard. Vi pulled her hand up and kissed it. “For every step you’ll have me,” she whispered sleepily. The weight in Caitlyn’s chest didn’t completely abate, but it did so enough that it allowed her to fall into a deep sleep.
