#also jinx and viktor are besties in it it's VERY important to me that everyone know this.

[glupblorbo]

psst i made a fic ? AND both chapters are completed and done !

summary + sneak peek of the next bit i'll be posting below the break :) it's basically a western with magic au, and it'll be VERY fun i hope (i'm for sure having a ton of fun writing and doodling for it lmao)

it's. still early in terms of like. plot progression. BUT i have this shit planned OUT and it's going to be. Inchresting. gay cowgirls and gay inventors and gunfights and all that shit. y'all know me and westerns lmao.

it's a series ! mostly so i can reorder fics we will be getting fics from before the point the "main" timeline takes place for Sure and so i don't feel as bad if it goes a minute in between fics. i'm trying to not let it go too far between chapters fs (at the moment the second fic in this is halfway finished, but i want to finish all the chapters before i start posting it lmao)

may end up making a separate tumblr for this fic? unsure. but yeah i'm posting this on a separate ao3 partly due to organization partly for other reasons.

don't worry i haven't abandoned saw the devil i just. have been trying to get as much going on this one as i can considering idk how long the brainrot'll last and i've got BIG plans for this one.

Summary

Since escaping Stillwater four years ago, Vi has searched for her sister, and the boy they grew up with, to no avail. Months since the last shred of a lead, the routine failures have found Vi at the bottom of a bottle and the end of a punch more often than not. But when an unlucky encounter throws her back on the run, she winds up in the employ of the Kirammans, a family of cattle barons also involved in both the nearby mine and the recently-arrived railroad. And before long, Vi finds herself and their heiress, a young debutante eager for something beyond Piltover, already ensnared in a web that will swallow everyone they love—unless Vi can find it in herself to face ghosts thought long-dead. Viktor and Jayce have been accelerating development of oil-burning engines for a few years now, and—with the help of Mel—making large strides with using their technology for railroad locomotive advancement. But after an experimental test for other applications goes horribly wrong, they find themselves splitting apart as Viktor's focus is drawn to other avenues of research...particularly that of improving lives in a much less traditional sense.

snippet from part 2 of this little series

Jayce is so absorbed in the notes and bottles before him—notes on the titration process Viktor has been waiting to get his feedback on before altering variables further, he notes with a raised brow—that he doesn’t even look up as the door closes. Viktor approaches, finally clearing his throat. “Jayce. Good morning.” Jayce starts. He turns so fast his arm nearly sweeps a few of the bottles off the table—Jayce and Jinx share the same frenetic energy, he muses, though that’s about where their similarities end—face splitting into a wide grin. “Viktor! I didn’t expect you to be in so soon.” His voice doesn’t carry the fluster of deceit; Jayce is only brow-raisingly genuine, as he is in everything. Somehow, he didn’t expect Viktor to be in the laboratory this early, though there’s only half an hour until dawn and this is the time he has always arrived to work. Jayce's stare lingers for another few minutes, even when Viktor’s settled in his chair, cane tipped against the table. By now, he's moved onto annotating the paper from yesterday—Jinx had made a good point about the flammability, a few days ago, and he’d like to get that solved before moving any further; any potential crop yield increases will be useless if the machine itself will only set them aflame seconds later. Viktor sighs. “Jayce, I understand that it’s hard for you to resist focusing all of your attention on me—“ he hesitates; it's been some time since he's made one of his usual snide remarks along these lines, and he’s unsure if he’s suddenly crossed a newly unspoken boundary—“but I cannot focus with you staring like that.”

anyway. very much hoping y'all like this :) i've been doing FAR too much research for this one but it's been well worth it i hope.

[birgosaurus]

real arcane moments (canon /s), the master list ((AKA i was playing THE SIMS 4 to make some of the arcane cast and..))

[also disclaimer this is mainly jayce and viktor lmao]

jayce thinks he and vi are besties for some reason?? i just wanted to introduce jinx, vi and cait to viktor and jayce (bc they’re two seperate households) and like… upon jayce and vi first meeting, they had 2 similar interests and he was instantly like, “omg…. you!! YOU!! /p”

they talk and it’s vi: .. fitness jayce: YEAHHHH FITNESS *stops conversation to do push ups*

my man wakes up, like, 12pm, which is about the time vi starts working. so he’ll wake up to call her, WHILE she’s at work, to say shit like, “heyyyy this person asked me out 🥺🥺🥺🥺 should i say yes” “idk man IM AT WORK AND I DONT CARE”

also idk why but jinx is nocturnal i literally didn’t even do this myself .she just goes to bed at 5am every morning, EXACTLY when caitlyn wakes up. jinx sleeps in until, like, 3pm. they both have completely different sleep cycles despite living in the same house. I TRY TO GIVE JINX A NORMAL SLEEP SCHEDULE AND IT DOESN’T WORK. SHE’LL ALWAYS WAKE UP AT 3-5AM TO RUN AROUND THE HOUSE FOR A MIDNIGHT SNACK. /lh i was meant to make u two enemies. i was meant to make u hate each other behind vi’s back. why is this happening.

meanwhile viktor and jayce wake up at the same time. go to bed at the exact same time. they’re scarily in sync. are really close. but keep tormenting each other through pranks. jayce will point one way, viktor looks behind him. “BOO.” viktor jumps. they both laugh. THIS SHIT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. VICE VERSA. and the amount of random arguments they have without my input?????. are y’all ok?.?????

they once got into an argument and jayce kicked over the bin outside. he walks back in. viktor is still on the couch. jayce sits next to him. but there’s music playing. so of course, jayce started angrily head bopping. because it’s important u always dance to music no matter what mood ur in. viktor jus groovin, too, while ignoring him. jayce eventually calms down. happy head bopping :). viktor then tells him off for kicking over the bin. fucking ANGRY. HE STORMS OUTSIDE. AGAIN. KICKS OVER THE BIN. AAGGAAIIN.

also idk i find it funny jayce plays christmas music and vibes while viktor is like “for the love of god shut that shit off right now.” i might’ve purposely made jayce like christmas music. i might’ve purposely made viktor hate it. what of it?

i always have to force viktor to socialise , too. he refuses to talk to anyone on his own BUT jayce. his literal roommate. who talked to him mainly with my input. most of the time jayce will invite people over and viktor avoids them as much as possible. once he walked out of his room, saw cait and vi at the dining table with jayce, stopped, and then decided reading a book in his room would probably be a better use of his time.

genuinely got so confused when i tried to introduce the girls to the hexbros tho bc i got cait to interact with viktor but for some reason, when checking through her acquaintances list later, viktor wasn’t there? but jayce WAS… and they’d only briefly been introduced. DID VIKTOR JUST WAVE HER OFF OR SMTH LMAO???? WHAT HAPPENED I DIDNT SEE

the first time vi and cait properly interacted was when vi went to cook (which she does a surprising amount for someone i wouldn��t expect to cook???) and she LIT HERSELF. ON FIRE. and cait LITERALLY HAD TO PUT HER OUT. can’t believe the “how i met my girlfriend” story is “yeah she lit herself ON FIRE <3 everyone was rlly stressed heehee but i’m just such a quick thinker <3” wow i love gay people

anyway <3 they’re all havign a greit time <3 very normal <3
