I have a fic idea of rewriting Viktors whole arc so he instead of the hex core turning him into a wizard he's given a health boost so he can live a bit longer, enough that his shimmer can tide him through the surgery and hospital visit he needed, where he gets a new pace maker and lung, and stents in a ton of places, which make him healthier cause all the chemicals where clogging his arteries, and as his shimmer biotech limbs start failing he goes to zaun more to soak up knowledge of chemtech to make his own prosthetic legs, (also, having renata glasc introduced as viktors semi-surrogate mother who gave him a loan to study and learn in piltover would make so much sense) he could use her connections to get him in touch with the chemtech designers, having Viktor become a baron in his own right for medical tech would be such an interesting perspective, we haven't seen a real sympathetic zaunite in power and having that while Caitlyn goes on her rampage against zaunite society and it's power structures would really bring out she wants to wreck zaun as the society.
In the game Viktor is super pro body augmentation and is kinda self righteous about it, with people building up a cult life following around his personality kinda like celebrities do, this would be a fine concept for his future.
Like, what if he got his prosthetic leg, and then decided to mess round with some arm mods cause he got mugged, just for fun, and he goes to the abandoned arcade and for the first time is actually able to fight with it, getting the lowest score but having fun, a symbol of changing the game when something did empowers you, like Viktor's arms, instead of succumbing to being muggable he changed the game so he's empowered, and then jinx can go and do the same thing by instead of using the punching game and being reminded of her struggle to be formidable in a slum where there's always a battle for strongest, she takes it a part to work on something she's passionate about, recentering her, cause she's an inventory and creator at heart, making something not for herself but someone else. Jinx should have had a confused healing arc where she makes relationships she can keep and becomes a half vigilante where she goes and messes with piltover when they overstep, like, if a factory owner steals wages she'll go and paint and bomb their house, she can expell her anger and pain while being a force for the general anti piltover movement.
Want to knit our fics together to make a whole rewrite of season 2?
Now I'm thinking about writing a long fic starting from the end of Arcane S2 episode 3 in which Caitlyn has a real corruption and redemption arc and Caitvi gets a satisfying ending and the plot gets resolved better.
