#Arcane Season2

[blueyellow8green]

Everyone's saying Viktor might be the arcane wizard who Jayce met when he was a child because of the similarities (robe/staff/purple ish motif) but what I think is way more fun is if it was JAYCE who went back and saw his younger self, setting off the whole chain. We saw that arcane gem embedded in his wrist, and we know he's been in a time loop in the Hexcore. Wouldn't be beyond me to think he's got some cool powers now!!

Like look at the shot when Jayce hit the Hexcore in comparison to the shot from his childhood flashback???

The theory of Caitlyn shooting Jinx's finger off to stop her from firing on Vi is so compelling.

Because Jinx had a mechanical finger in the Arcane Artbook cover

Viktor and Jinx team-up would be goated, but alternatively...

"Jayce?" "Viktor!" "What... am I?" "You're alive!"

YOU KNOW WHY. HE SAID THAT. BECAUSE THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERED TO HIM. HE WANTED VIKTOR ALIVE, THAT WAS ALL HE WANTED. EVEN IF HE BECAME INFLICTED WITH THE HEXCORE AND IT'S ABILITIES, BECOMING A BASICALLY PHYSICAL WILD RUNE.

to JAYCE, him being ALIVE was all that mattered to him, he wanted viktor to live and to survive. this is a man who did everything he can to save his closest friend (AND HISTORY WILL CALL THEM BEST FRIENDS) from death, draining himself; WHICH HE ALSO HAD TO RECOVER FROM THE EXPLOSION. all that mattered was that he was alive, not that he was acting different or looked different, he was alive. he saw viktor lying there in the rubble and RAN, I TELL YOU, RAN! HE SPRINTED TO THEIR RESEARCH ROOM TO FIGURE OUT THE SCIENCE THAT WOULD

SAVE. HIM.

please protect jayce for these coming episodes.

I am wounded. Arcane season 2 act 2 wtf.

[sakurasnowfall]

So when I watched Arcane back in 2022, this was before I started anime (Arcane was my segue into anime, actually) before I was interacting with any sort of fandom, before I knew I wanted to be a writer, before I had ever shipped any characters and before tragic gay ships became responsible for a huge chunk of my happiness. I kinds sensed the tension between Caitlyn and Vi, but I don’t think I shipped it.

But NOW??? OH BOY. Oh yeah, oh yeah, I ship it.

*SPOILER*

WE ACTUALLY GOT THE KISS, and I was so freaking happy, punching AIR, AHH. And then...well...you know. BUT, there is hope. There is hope indeed.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA I GOT FOUR BINGOS NOW ON @feedthefandomfest's OG BINGO CARD it only took yeeting myself into the GoW fandom fully and also for Arcane season 2 to come out. I AM DETEREMIND TO FINISH THIS DAMN CARD BY THE END OF THE YEAR THO yes I only have a month SHUT UP I CAN DO THIS Arcane season 2 powers me

Rec list time below the cut! Also including one of the fics from the first bingo I got cause I remembered it, lol. (Also, if you haven't watched Act 1 of Arcane, season 2, some of the fics included here will hold spoilers for Act 1! So be wary!)

"Of Atreus and Calliope" by ArlenianChronicles Slams fist, swiftly followed by my head, on table. Inhales sharply, lifts head- THIS. FIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCC- Have you ever wanted to read a fic starring protective big bro Atreus with little sis Calliope going on a cross country/... continental road trip with a healthy dose of family drama, angst, fluff and sibling bonding, followed by a slice-of-life style with the first three seasonings mentioned above coming in spades? Maybe some Sindri grappling with his feelings and trauma as a side dish? And some Atreboda for the sauce? THEN BOY OH BOY DO I HAVE THE FIC FOR YOU! Essentially, it's exactly what I just described. Atreus more or less accidentally kidnaps Calliope from Elsyium which brings her back to life (Kratos' kin are just built different, ig) and the two end up going on a cross country AND continental journey through Greece and the Roman Empire as they try to get back to Midgard, making friends and enemies along the way. Once they do, Calliope learns how to adjust to life in Jotunheim, gets to create a Calliope Found Family Collection, meets a still very angry Sindri and Atreus... Atreus gets to try and figure out how to tell his dad "hey, your daughter's back!" without sending his old man to the grave for the... what, 10th time? I'm really oversimplifying it, but this is already long enough, lol.

Keep in mind, this was written before Valhalla came out, so that's why some things might seem a little off. Also, it's set in the God of War universe. There's a decent amount of canon typical violence in it (also, istg everyone in the cast needs therapy, lmao). It's so good, guys, it's so. GOOD. URGH

"don't do anything you'll regret" by Perfectharmonyloveschaos Have you ever wondered how you make the saddest and most horrifying part of a thing, whether it be a video game, movie, TV show, book, comic or whatever else, EVEN MORE horrifying and sad than it already is? No? Well, too bad, I'm introducing a fic to you that managed to do that anyways. I was left SPEECHLESS when I finished reading it, all I knew was that felt the jumble of emotions I did when Brok died but WORSE. And honestly, that's a pretty damn impressive feat.

Uh, in regards to TWs... Well, how many of you know the myth where Loki gets his mouth sewn shut? Cause, uh... Odin does that to Atreus. And it's violent. Also Brok still dies, so.

"Nightmares Everlasting" by tinycrown So good so good so good so SO good, holy shit- (this can be applied to ALL of their GoW fics, lol) Basic plot, Atreus has a vision of the prophecy where his dad dies at Thor's hand, and DOES NOT LIKE IT. Featuring good dad Kratos caring for his son during the aftermath of the vision. My GODS the way this person writes Atreus scratches an itch in my brain SO WELL

"Burnt Primrose" by fayeerie A very good fic following Freyr and his experiences with fire. He doesn't like it very much. Featuring a little study on his relationship with Freya pre marriage to Odin.

Freyr gets set on fire here, and while it's not terribly graphic, it could still be quite uncomfy for some, so tread carefully!

"serendipity" by quoichiant A Yone/Aphelios slowburn AU, with extremely overworked and stressed out college student Aphelios, and a honestly done with life producer!Yone. So, funny story. I remembered I commented on this one for the rarepair spot not long after I uploaded my first bingo, lol. Then I wondered if they actually count as a rarepair, so I decided to check. The League of Legends fandom on AO3 has 19,515 works (at the time of checking). Of those works, the Yone/Aphelios pairing has 56. Yeah, I think they count, at least for me and my tastes, XD

"Got Your Heart In A Headlock" by GerardRay_15 A CaitVi fic. A very good, very tender, very loving CaitVi fic. I sorely needed this, lmao.

It's implied that Vi has a past of sexual abuse in this one, so tread carefully!

"If you want me to, I'll share my heart" by N3VERAGOD Just a sweet, fluffy CaitVi fic that I DESPERATELY needed after the gut punch known as episode 3 of season 2 (iykyk)

It's implied these two fucked the night before the fic takes place, and they're both naked, although nothing is ever explicitly stated (minus some kiss attacks)

"Of the Northmost Winds and Skies" by xxiyu I feel like this is one of the more famous HiJack fics out there, lol. And for good reason! SUCH a good fic, always happy to come back to it if I need a pick me up. Another 'Jack gets yeeted back to the past' fic, but this time with Jaime and Baby Tooth along for the ride! And not only do they meet the Berkians, but they also meet an enemy I think Jack would've liked to have never met for the rest of his life, lol. Also, if you like slowburn, HERE YOU GO! YOU GET... good, lord, I think like, 19-ish chapters of pining?? I think halfway through it I started yelling out loud, "oh, would you just kiss already, you dumb gay fucks(affectionate)??", if that gives you any idea how well it was written, lol.

Aaaand, that's it for this round! With Arcane season 2 here, I'll probably be satiating myself between Acts with fics, so hopefully I'll be able to finish the last four spots in quick succession! Still super happy I decided to do this challenge - my confidence needed it, and I think it's even been helping a little with my social anxiety?? Who knows, lol

Anyways, bye!
