Chosen Pairing : Caitlyn Kiramman x Vi

CaitVi Week Day 6 Prompt : Vampires & Werewolves

Word Count : 1,187 words || ao3 link

Ficlet Song : my all - mariah carey

“Up again?” Maddie's voice came from behind, the woman's warm arms wrapping around Caitlyn.

“Maddie, you are aware that I, in fact, don't sleep. Correct?” Caitlyn clarifies, and Maddie laughs at this while laying her head down on Caitlyn's shoulder.

Those of Caitlyn's kind never seek sleep, they avoid the daylight, and are often being hunted down by humans. Her kind often craved blood, some even have the ability, and some have abilities that are deemed unrealistic or unachievable by human standards. Caitlyn was a vampire, she has been for millennia, ever since her first conception.

The Kiramman family had been known for their riches, despite the malicious talk that the entire family are some kind of monsters that roam the streets of Piltover freely. Caitlyn's mother, Cassandra, was a vampire who had the ability to walk in broad daylight without burning her skin. She was lucky enough to inherit such gift, however, with her mother's mate being human, simple abilities were stripped off of her completely. Such as, the ability to sleep.

“You go to bed, I'll be back soon,” Caitlyn sighs, leaving Maddie on the bed alone and confused.

Maddie tries to reach out, but decides against it. Their whole exchange was only created for two things: sex and feeding. Caitlyn tries not to mix personal emotions with business, not like she was able to anyway. She had been unable to love again after that night, the night she lost her Violet.

—

Caitlyn stood against her balcony, the moon in full bloom along with the stars that decorated the night sky. The vampire was smart enough to know what the full moon entailed in these woods, the hounds of the dark, werewolves. The Kirammans were smart enough to leave the Vanderson pack alone, they even struck a deal with the pack's leader a few centuries back, and that was to leave each other alone under any circumstances.

She was about to leave and go back inside since she's had enough of the evening's scent, but a waft of sweetness in the air stops her in her tracks. Caitlyn knew well what the scent was, she had almost forgotten how intoxicating the fragrance of violets were. At the same time, her senses were stilled, along with the sweet scent of flowers was the even sweeter scent of blood. Someone was injured nearby, and they just happened to have the same scent as Caitlyn's previous lover.

Caitlyn debated on taking a trip downstairs, knowing that Maddie's blood had barely satisfied her and that she would be tempted to take a bite of whoever this was. However, when her ears heard the townsfolk nearing this part of the woods, she decided to take the risk for whoever this person was. Even if their scent was infuriating.

Caitlyn's hurriedly headed downstairs, unlocking her gate when she had gotten outside her mansion. Her nosed tracked the scent to a large tree, until she had realized that one of the Vanderson's have crossed the boundary. The scent of violets came from an injured wolf, specifically one that had been shot down multiple times by some human's bullets.

The werewolf had reddish pink fur, which must've been the reason why it had been attacked. When her fingers reached out to touch the injured wolf, it's body had returned back to it's human form. The werewolf was a woman, and there was no mistaking it, she even held the face of Violet.

In a hurry, Caitlyn carried the woman over her shoulder as she ran back into her mansion. The woman was unconscious from the bullet and blood loss, bare naked as Caitlyn transported her into the mansion and set her down on a couch. Unfortunately, the blood was too tempting for Caitlyn that her eyes had turned red and her fangs had shown itself. She had no other choice but to call for assistance.

“Maddie! Get the first aid kit!” Caitlyn screams, slowly making distance between her and the unknown woman.

She waited for a moment, but there was no response, perhaps Maddie was too deep in her sleep. The woman had bled on the couch, and she couldn't afford to get close even by an inch. She tries to stop her urges to taste the blood, holding onto the slim chance that Maddie might hear and help the injured woman.

“Maddie!”

“I'm coming!” Maddie replies from the stairs, her footsteps echoing through the empty halls as she runs to the couch with a first aid kit in hand.

Caitlyn was relieved that Maddie heard her pleas, because of this she was now able to leave. She couldn't handle another minute of being close to the woman's blood without being seduced by the intoxicating scent of bloody violets. With each step that she took, her urges died down as she created more distance. She'd check on the woman during the next day, when her mind was clear of temptation.

—

Vi had woken up on a soft bed, in a bedroom she knew she wouldn't be able to afford even if she traded everything she owned. The realization that the entirety of her torso was bandaged and that she was wearing unfamiliar fabric dawned on her, then she hears the door click as a woman holding a tray comes in. Tall, dark haired, and pale—that was how Vi had viewed Caitlyn.

“I suppose you can tolerate soup?” Caitlyn asks, and Vi simply nods.

Caitlyn sets down the tray on the bedside table, gesturing to a jacket that rested beside Vi. Vi seemed confused, but she takes the jacket into her hands. It was high quality leather, one that she knew nobody would simply give away. Unless they've had multiple other jackets to spare. She spots the familiar crest on Caitlyn's necklace, and she confirms, this was the Kiramman household. Vi was resting on a bed that the Kiramman's owned, and it was for free.

“I've alerted Vander about your stay. He will be picking you up later in the afternoon. For now, get some rest. You need it,” Caitlyn declares, making her way back to the door.

“Why'd you save me...? I thought we had a deal not to give a shit about each other, didn't we?” Vi asks, confused about everything since she had woken up.

Caitlyn stops, and considers stating her actual reason. The scent of violets was still strong, and it was enticing her to face the owner of the odor. Yet, she persists. This was uncharted territory, and even if the blood seemed delectable, this was a werewolf she was talking to. She couldn't exactly bite, even if she wanted to.

“I have my reasons, and unfortunately you're not one of those who may hear. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have responsibilities to tend to, Violet.”

Caitlyn left, and Vi was left dumbfounded in the bedroom. She reached for the bowl of warm soup, taking a quick sip. Aside from the human attacks that had seemed to frequent their turf, there was one more thing that bugged Vi.

How the fuck did the Kiramman girl know her full name?

Really disappointed no one told me "Ghost" Writer was a metaphor before I learned how to do seances and dragged myself all the way to the derelict cemetery. On a Wednesday no less. Whatever, I accidentally released some poltergeists have fun with that.

They say opposites attract. People may appear different on the outside, but they could still share the same heart and soul.

What the fanfic-writing process has become;

Finish reading a fanfic and feel awful about one's own writing then proceed to try and create works "as good as" that story. Or try to replicate that authors writing.

Scroll through social media for what fandoms are popular right now to see where you can join and get your writing seen.

Take in every piece of writing advice there is and then stress, trying to create an award-worthy fanfic story.

Crying because you can't describe your bedroom scene the way your fave fanfic writer did in their story; or because you can't describe your character's facial features like the way the advisors of writing on Tumblr said you should.

I must include this and exclude that to get my fanfic-writing respected and seen

I'm nervous about whether others will like or hate my work when I share

I don't wanna write, I have no inspo, but I must write cause I'm in this fandom that's hot right now and all my fellow writers in said fandom are posting

What fanfic-writing started as and should be;

You enjoy a piece of media, art, song, etc., you're hungry for more and so you write an extension of the universe to include stuff you wanted to see, that the original creator didn't include. No rules, no standards, and no restrictions.

Excited to just write and share a work. If others love it, it's a plus

If you want to write excellent fanfics, that's very fine as long as you're having fun and you're not stressed.

Principles and Laws of Magic for Fantasy Writers

Fundamental Laws

1. Law of Conservation of Magic- Magic cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

3. Law of Equivalent Exchange- To gain something, an equal value must be given.

5. Law of Magical Exhaustion- Using magic drains the user’s energy or life force.

Interaction and Interference

4. Law of Magical Interference- Magic can interfere with other magical effects.

6. Law of Magical Contamination- Magic can have unintended side effects.

8. Law of Magical Inertia- Magical effects continue until stopped by an equal or greater force.

Resonance and Conditions

7. Law of Magical Resonance- Magic resonates with certain materials, places, or times.

9. Law of Magical Secrecy- Magic must be kept secret from the non-magical world.

11. Law of Magical Hierarchy- Different types of magic have different levels of power and difficulty.

Balance and Consequences

10. Law of Magical Balance- Every positive magical effect has a negative consequence.

12. Law of Magical Limitation- Magic has limits and cannot solve every problem.

14. Law of Magical Rebound- Misused magic can backfire on the user.

Special Conditions

13. Law of Magical Conduits- Certain objects or beings can channel magic more effectively.

15. Law of Magical Cycles- Magic may be stronger or weaker depending on cycles (e.g., lunar phases).

17. Law of Magical Awareness- Some beings are more attuned to magic and can sense its presence.

Ethical and Moral Laws

16. Law of Magical Ethics- Magic should be used responsibly and ethically.

18. Law of Magical Consent- Magic should not be used on others without their consent.

20. Law of Magical Oaths- Magical promises or oaths are binding and have severe consequences if broken.

Advanced and Rare Laws

19. Law of Magical Evolution- Magic can evolve and change over time.

20. Law of Magical Singularities- Unique, one-of-a-kind magical phenomena exist and are unpredictable.

Unique and Imaginative Magical Laws

- Law of Temporal Magic- Magic can manipulate time, but with severe consequences. Altering the past can create paradoxes, and using time magic ages the caster rapidly.

- Law of Emotional Resonance- Magic is amplified or diminished by the caster’s emotions. Strong emotions like love or anger can make spells more powerful but harder to control.

- Law of Elemental Harmony- Magic is tied to natural elements (fire, water, earth, air). Using one element excessively can disrupt the balance and cause natural disasters.

- Law of Dream Magic- Magic can be accessed through dreams. Dreamwalkers can enter others’ dreams, but they risk getting trapped in the dream world.

- Law of Ancestral Magic- Magic is inherited through bloodlines. The strength and type of magic depend on the caster’s ancestry, and ancient family feuds can influence magical abilities.

- Law of Symbiotic Magic- Magic requires a symbiotic relationship with magical creatures. The caster and creature share power, but harming one affects the other.

- Law of Forgotten Magic- Ancient spells and rituals are lost to time. Discovering and using forgotten magic can yield great power but also unknown dangers.

- Law of Magical Echoes- Spells leave behind echoes that can be sensed or traced. Powerful spells create stronger echoes that linger longer.

- Law of Arcane Geometry- Magic follows geometric patterns. Spells must be cast within specific shapes or alignments to work correctly.

- Law of Celestial Magic- Magic is influenced by celestial bodies. Spells are stronger during certain astronomical events like eclipses or planetary alignments.

- Law of Sentient Magic- Magic has a will of its own. It can choose to aid or hinder the caster based on its own mysterious motives.

- Law of Shadow Magic- Magic can manipulate shadows and darkness. Shadowcasters can travel through shadows but are vulnerable to light.

- Law of Sympathetic Magic- Magic works through connections. A spell cast on a representation of a person (like a doll or portrait) affects the actual person.

- Law of Magical Artifacts- Certain objects hold immense magical power. These artifacts can only be used by those deemed worthy or who possess specific traits.

- Law of Arcane Paradoxes- Some spells create paradoxes that defy logic. These paradoxes can have unpredictable and often dangerous outcomes.

- Law of Elemental Fusion- Combining different elemental magics creates new, hybrid spells with unique properties and effects.

- Law of Ethereal Magic- Magic can interact with the spirit world. Ethereal mages can communicate with spirits, but prolonged contact can blur the line between life and death.

- Law of Arcane Symbiosis- Magic can bond with technology, creating magical machines or enchanted devices with extraordinary capabilities.

- Law of Dimensional Magic- Magic can open portals to other dimensions. Dimensional travelers can explore alternate realities but risk getting lost or encountering hostile beings.

- Law of Arcane Sacrifice- Powerful spells require a sacrifice, such as a cherished memory, a personal item, or even a part of the caster’s soul.

How to Introduce and End Flashbacks

Introducing a Flashback

Through Sensory Triggers A sound, smell, or physical sensation can catapult a character into a memory. Example: The faint scent of jasmine wafted through the open window, pulling her back to her grandmother’s garden. She could almost feel the warm sun on her back as they planted flowers together, her grandmother’s laugh ringing in her ears. Sensory cues are especially effective because they feel immediate and relatable.

Using an Object or Photo Physical items are natural prompts for reminiscing. Example: He picked up the crumpled letter, its edges worn with age. As his eyes scanned the familiar handwriting, the years fell away. He was 16 again, reading those very words for the first time.

Dialogue That Sparks a Memory A conversation can easily lead to a flashback when a particular word or phrase resonates. Example: “You always overthink everything,” she said, laughing. He froze. Those were the exact words his father had thrown at him that night, before slamming the door and leaving for good.

A Character’s Internal Reflection This works well in introspective or emotional scenes. Example: As she stared at the divorce papers, her mind drifted to the first time they’d met.

A Sudden Triggering Event High-emotion events often cause memories to resurface. Example: The screech of tires on asphalt sent a cold shiver down her spine. In a heartbeat, she was back on that icy road, watching headlights careen toward her father’s car.

Dream or Hallucination For a more surreal tone, a dream or hallucination can segue into a flashback. Example: The dream unfolded like a reel of film, showing her the beachside house they’d once called home. She saw herself, small and wide-eyed, chasing the waves as her father’s voice called out in laughter.

Abrupt, Emotional Break For intense moments, an abrupt flashback can mimic a real-life flood of memory. Example: The argument escalated, he slammed his fist on the table. The sound echoed in her ears, morphing into the memory of her father’s hand hitting the dining room table, his voice booming in anger.

Ways to End a Flashback

Tie Back to the Trigger Return to the sensory cue or object that initiated the flashback. Example: The scent of jasmine faded, and she blinked, back in her office. The garden was gone, replaced by the gray walls and the cold glow of her computer screen.

Return to Present Action Use a sharp, present-day event to jolt the character back. Example: “Hey, are you even listening?” Her coworker’s voice snapped her out of the memory. She turned, realizing she’d been staring at the clock for minutes. OR “Are you okay?” His voice cut through the silence, pulling her out of the memory. She nodded quickly, hiding her unease.

Reinforce the Emotional Impact Show how the flashback has affected the character’s current emotions or decisions. Example: The memory left her hands trembling. She wiped her eyes quickly, unwilling to let the tears win this time. She had a meeting to face.

Transition with a Parallel Action Use a seamless flow between the past and present through similar actions or emotions. Example: In the memory, she had dropped the vase, its shattering echoing in the quiet house. Back in the present, her hand hovered over a similar vase on the shelf. She hesitated, her breath shallow, before carefully setting it down as if the past might repeat itself.\

Narrative Reflection Let the character or narrator explicitly acknowledge the memory and its significance. Example: She exhaled, shaking off the memory like dust from an old book. It didn’t matter anymore, she told herself, but her heart still felt heavy.

Anchor to the Setting Bring the reader’s focus back to the surroundings. Example: The memory faded, and she was left staring at the cracked pavement under her feet, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows over the street.

✦ ˑ ִֶ 𓂃⊹ sway with me, darling

Chosen Pairing : Caitlyn Kiramman x Vi

CaitVi Week Day 7 Prompt : Prom/Formal

Word Count : 1,097 words || ao3 link

Ficlet Song : unang sayaw - nobita

Underneath the dim lights of the high school's basketball court was where Vi had realized that she was screwed. Very, very screwed. The grey of her eyes scanned for bright blue, and when she found it, everything felt as if it was slower than it actually was. The purple dress complimented the pinkish hue of Caitlyn's pale skin, and Vi couldn't help but look starstruck as Caitlyn made her way closer, and closer, and closer until they were barely a foot apart.

“Dance with me?” Caitlyn asks with a smile, looking right into Vi's eyes.

The dancefloor had been filled with couples, and Vi even spotted her younger sister dancing around with her boyfriend. Vi had never learned how to dance, but Caitlyn's offer was too tempting to ignore. She didn't want to miss out on dancing with the Caitlyn Kiramman, and so Vi takes her hand. Caitlyn's hand was warm, unlike Vi's. Vi would be lying if she said she didn't appreciate the warmth of Caitlyn's touch.

“Cupcake, just a little warning. I'm absolutely shit at dancing,” Vi claims, and Caitlyn scoffs.

“Nonsense, just follow my lead, okay? They won't notice, trust me,” Caitlyn reassures, pulling Vi to the middle of the court.

The pair got closer to each other than they have ever been before, faces an inch apart as Vi's hand holds Caitlyn's waist. Their fingers intertwined, Caitlyn's hand on Vi's shoulder as they slowly swayed to the music playing over the speakers. Vi couldn't make out what the song was, given that it was in a different language, but Caitlyn hummed along as they danced.

“You know the song, cupcake?” 

“I had a part in constructing the playlist, sounds nice doesn't it?” 

Vi smiled, gently swaying along to the music as her Caitlyn dance together. Dancing was never her strong suit, but tonight, just for tonight, she'd make an exception. For Caitlyn. 

Their movements slowed down, Caitlyn looking at Vi. It was funny, when the year started Caitlyn was significantly shorter than Vi was. Now, they were almost the same height. Caitlyn would've pointed it out and laughed, but she'd gotten lost into Vi's ocean, and she wondered if Vi even felt the same way. Just then, the lights glowed a soft dim, and it was there that Vi felt to say the words she often swallowed down in secrecy.

“Remember the conversation we had at the park?”

“Of course, you claimed you've never felt the desire to have someone stay with you,” Caitlyn says with a chuckle, sure that Vi would eat her own words sooner or later.

What she didn't know was, Vi was eating her own words at this moment, and that she was the only one to blame.

“You were right, even thought I clearly said that I wouldn't feel that even after this semester ended. I've grown tired of pretending that I don't want to have you with me,” Vi confesses, and it takes Caitlyn a moment to process the words she had been told.

The two stopped dancing halfway through the song, and Vi immediately felt the tension rise. Worry overflowed in her system, wondering if she had made the wrong choice to say what she felt. She gazed at Caitlyn, checking if she accidentally made the girl upset but she couldn't read what Caitlyn's expression entailed. She seemed surprised, and something that Vi couldn't put into words. But for good measure, she tries to apologize.

“Hey, if I said something wrong I'm so-” Vi starts, but is immediately cut off by Caitlyn's lips that pressed against hers. 

Caitlyn had just kissed her. Caitlyn Kiramman just kissed Violet Lanes in a room full of teenage high schoolers who will most likely press record to have a keepsake of this scene. Vi heard a camera shutter, but she paid it no mind and instead reciprocated Caitlyn's kiss. She'll deal with the consequences of this whole charade later. For now, she only wants to taste the sweetness of Caitlyn's lips.

—

“So that happened, huh?” Caitlyn murmurs, seemingly embarrassed over what she had done.

Caitlyn kissed Vi, in a large basketball court full of people. She wouldn't be so surprised if the photos had already reached her parents. After all, Cassandra Kiramman had eyes everywhere, and Caitlyn does not know if that was even for her own good or simply just her mother being overprotective as always. It was most certainly the latter.

“Cupcake, you gave me a smooch first. You don't get to act shy about it now!” Vi remarks, causing the other teen to laugh softly. 

The pair then joined hands, intertwining their fingers like all the other couples do. Vi noticed her siblings and Ekko all huddled over a corner, none of them paying attention to the fact that anyone could notice them. Vi eyes Caitlyn and the two headed to the corner where the others were, not even a meter away when they heard Powder speak up.

“You owe me thirty bucks,” Powder says, offering an outstretched hand to Mylo to ask for her prize.

“Damn it! I thought they'd at least wait one more day before kissing,” Mylo sighs in defeat, reaching into his pockets to give Powder her money.

“You guys were betting on us?” Vi asks, and the four immediately look up to see Vi raising an eyebrow at them.

Powder immediately shrugs as she pushes Mylo's hand back into his pockets, while Claggor just whistled and acted like he was looking up at the ceiling. To be fair, he wasn't in on the bets, neither was Ekko. But still, now they're involved by association, which absolutely sucked for them. 

“I mean, I don't blame them. We did take too long, Violet,” Caitlyn adds with a gentle smile, and Powder's eyes immediately light up. 

Mylo groans as Powder got even more excited, leaving the couple confused as to what they were up to now. It took Vi a few seconds before she realizes that Caitlyn had called her Violet right in front of her siblings, but she was confused on why Powder got all giddy about it. Unless...

“Dang it! You jinxed me!” 

“Not my fault, loser. Pay me a hundred bucks and I'll unjinx you,” Powder replies, blowing raspberries at Mylo who had no other choice but to reach into his pockets to give Powder what she earned.

Vi had given up on reprimanding them, choosing to just ignore that her sister had made a bet about Caitlyn calling her Violet. But in all honesty? She liked hearing it from her cupcake's lips.
