#if jayce is saying in that moment that he agrees with Viktor they should stop and jayce wants to just be normal again and do things with V

[thewistlingbadger]

I'm always going to wonder if Viktor asked him to stop what they were doing, abandon the dream, follow a new path, would Jayce have agreed?

[guiltycorp]

Even though I loved the writing of LoL Jayvik I really appreciate that Arcane is going for a different approach so far, makes things feel less predictable! Instead of ideological differences driving the divide between them it is more so that they are just... out of sync so far?? I mean, during last season Viktor even before his diagnosis was eagerly meddling with the Hexcore with little regard to safety, then straight up went for the illicit and damaging drug to facilitate the transformation process, then when he ran out of that drug he proceeded to try using Hexcore without it (when he already TESTED that on plants and should have known it would backfire) which killed Sky... At which point he went oh shit, ok, I should stop meddling with this thing and just die peacefully maybe. It's not very clear how much of that he told Jayce aside from making him promise to destroy the Hexcore, but Jayce's surprised reaction in s2 when hearing about Sky makes me think it wasn't much at all...? So Jayce doesn't feel as much of an asshole for, once again, going against Viktor's explicit wishes. He pretty much never has the full picture before being forced to make a decision! Idk it makes him very sympathetic to me ngl, just feeling more and more guilt but continuing to fuck up due to lack of knowledge and experience, is that not relatable? And aside from being entirely unprepared for Viktor's death even after s1 I think it's like Jinx says in this Act too, it was something he could fix for once... Perhaps this is why he agrees to the use of Hextech weapons, too, feeling like it's the only thing he can do to 'help' the people he cares about and protect himself too (I guess killing just 1 defenseless child wasn't enough of a learning moment for him lmao). Despite again, this going very much against Viktor's wishes (and Mel's!! we didn't get her with Jayce after this but I imagine she's not very happy with him either... Viktor&Mel team up when). This time Jayce is the one just going for it and hoping for the best despite knowing very little of how it works. I also love how a lot of us in the fandom and also Singed in the series assumed Jayce would be appalled by Viktor's experiments but instead... he immediately goes even further :D And when Viktor wakes up and goes bye Jayce is like ?? but then by the end of the next episode he starts to realise that ohh alright so maybe yeah they should have stopped... Who'd have thunk. I'm not super up to date with League lore but is it really that difficult to find a sane mage for consultation purposes? ...Also I really doubt that hitting that thing (wild rune?) with his hextech-powered hammer was a good move lmao and yet even in this it seems similar to what Viktor is currently doing. Both continue to use the arcane to try and fix things, Jayce through violence and Viktor through transmutation, but it kind of seems like the same kind of mistake. (they are just pretty bad scientists and always have been and i love that for them lmao)

To Fix A Broken Heart (Viktor x Orianna)

A collection of ideas for VictOri based on a Beauty and the Beast AU. Viktor has Orianna staying in his compound in return for her father’s safety. He wants to get the secrets of how she came to be… she just wants to get out. Slowly, their talks become less about science, and more about… emotions.

~

(The Soup scene) Their first genuine conversation, where both parties are actually listening to the other, is about food. Oreanna missing it. Viktor badmouthing the experience, inconsequential, a waste of time and resources, and Oreanna just sadly looks at something she used to love and shares her melancholy at the memories of biting into it. Or slurping. It could be soup. The warmth and comfort it gave her as a kid. Her sad tone is enough to make Viktor stop his points and really reflect about his own history with food. After a while, he breaks the silence and shares a memory. His mother would feed him soup too, when he was sickly. He… loved her recipe. Orianna smiles and touches his arm. He huffs and moves away.

~

(Echoing the Snowball Fight) There is a scene where Viktor tries showing off something he can do with his augmentations, shooting something maybe, and he looks so smug about it. Goes on a speech about his impeccable calibrations, as Oreanna shushes him and tells him, 'Watch me.’ She does it much better.

… Now it becomes a competition neither wants to let the other win. The shooting grounds is now in disarray, and it ends with both looking disheveled. Orianna laughs first at Viktor's appearance, and though he'd usually take offense to something like that, he finds himself laughing too. A nice childish moment.

This is the first time Orianna has been able to laugh. Genuinely, from emotion, not as a response she forces for someone in a conversation. She’s surprised and shares this with Viktor, and Viktor can’t help feel special and begin to overheat.

~

Jayce catches wind about Orianna being in Viktor’s possession. This can’t be good. The thought of her helping Viktor's research makes him feel like there’s a timer on stopping him once and for all, before he becomes too much. He visits Ekko, and informs him about the possible danger. Tells him that Viktor has a weapon now that can ensure his work progresses quicker. And to drive it home, he can say that Ekko should care because his people would, naturally, be the first to go. It puts Ekko in a difficult position… where he has to agree to keep an eye out on Viktor’s compound. He helps Jayce with spying.

~

Maybe Ekko later on runs into Orianna while she was alone in Viktor's area. She’s friendly and open with him, so Ekko tries to figure out what was really going on. As he hears her situation, he then tries convincing her to leave Viktor with him. She says she can't, but doesn’t explain why. She thinks she’s making a connection with Viktor. She… wants to see what it’s leading to. Ekko takes it as more confirmation of her being in a hostage situation. When he reports this to Jayce, he feels the same. If Orianna can’t leave, they’ll force her out of there. They have a plan that will temporarily cut Viktor’s power supply enough to have his troops come in and ‘clean’ the place.

~

The power in Viktor’s compound has been nullified with a disruptive pulse. It’s one thing that his machines are now useless, but with how strong it was, Orianna is in jeopardy. Her power source now off, her consciousness turns off and she 'faints.’ Viktor was far from her, dealing with what he thought was all the intruders. Trying to keep them from reaching her room. But there was Ekko’s group coming from the back, ready to pick her up as he’s distracted. She is kidnapped.

She’s  brought to Jayce's lab for questioning and for his own exploration of how she works. He’s crueler with her, truly seeing her as nothing but a machine. Orianna fights back at every opportunity, recognizing him as dangerous, if not more so, than Viktor. It’s enough to buy Viktor time to realize what’s occurred and go to save her, guns blazing, self sacrificial. No time for plans, no time for calculations, his ideal logical mind is gone and he is full of rage.

He makes it to her room, but he’s extremely weakened.

It’s a stalemate, where Jayce has Orianna in his hands and Viktor has him in his sights. Jayce tells Viktor he still has forces on Viktor's property. A second wave that swarmed as soon as he left. Without him there, they can easily destroy everything. His life's work once and for all. He tells him to go, they can call it off as a truce since Jayce doesn’t want to die.

But Viktor isn’t going without her. He tells him so, and that- is too scary for Jayce to agree to. He’s now seen what Orianna is for himself. A true marvel of science. She can’t fall to his hands. Jayce insists on Viktor learning his place, renewed anger and fear making him hold Orianna closer, to press his gun right to Orianna’s heart.

Viktor is shaking with anger. He really wants to shoot him. To end it. But Orianna is wide eyed, looking at him, anticipating his next moves and he doesn’t want to do this in front of her. To show her the extent of his inhumanity. To give her more to hate about him. So, he lets down his weapons and begs for Orianna to be let go. They can take his inventions. They can take him. Let. Her. Go.

Orianna quakes. She’s filled with love for the man Viktor has become. He’s changed, he cares. They lock eyes. They know.

He loves her.

But cocky, stupid Jayce’s laugh stops the lover’s thoughts. And he shoots Viktor instead.

An earlier version of Viktor could have dodged. Deflected. But he was weak. Distracted. His systems only caught on to the bullet’s trajectory when it was too close. It hit him in his exposed chest. He crumples to the floor.

He has a human heart.

The thought makes Orianna’s mind whir faster.

He has a human human heart. The bullet hit him in his heart. His heart!

Orianna’s body gains new strength. She moves like finely-tuned machinery as she crunches Jayce’s arm like it was nothing. Jayce screams and lets her go.

She smoothly moves to Viktor’s body, kneeling and holding him. She can’t feel anything. Her mind is analytical, taking in his wound, searching for solutions. Jayce has recuperated. He fires at her, but she easily shields herself. She picks up Viktor and moves to the exit. Jayce attempts to block her, but again, he is quickly dealt with by a swing of her arm. She has no room for emotions or for morals as she deals with the people in her way. They only distract her from her goal.

To fix Viktor.

Another 5 sentence (paragraph) for viktor?? Maybe him being such a creature of habit visiting the same bakery just about daily and always getting the same thing- mainly because he thinks the girl behind the counter is cute not thinking she notices him too much past being a regular but she sort of looks out for him? Brings him pastries to the lab when he doesn't come by upon jayces instruction of where he is.

You glance at the clock on the wall, and then at the door; when no one walks through, you also glance out at the street through the large windows lining the front of the shop. Once again, though, no one is there; no customers, nor passerby. You try to ignore the pang of sadness in your chest, but without any patrons to distract you it proves difficult. It wasn’t a busy time of day, so you’re not really surprised that no one is vying for a pastry at the moment - but that’s not what you’re upset about. For months now, you’d had a regular customer -Viktor, his name was- and every day like clockwork, he would come into your shop to purchase a custard pastry and an over-sugared coffee with sweetmilk.

But not today, it seemed. Such a fact certainly dampered your mood, but you knew it had only been a matter of time. Viktor was a busy man, you had learned, and during his visits over the past week, he’d looked increasingly stressed and tired. You had, of course, asked him about what was bothering him so much, and it hadn’t taken much prodding for him to air out his anxieties. You didn’t understand most of the technical jargon during his rant, but you certainly understood what it meant to be overworked: years ago, when you had worked as an apprentice for another shop closer to the edge of the city, you had been much the same - thirteen hour shifts, early mornings, late nights, and lots of coffee.

You quickly walk to the front door and flip the little ‘open for business’ sign over, noting the shop as closed instead. Viktor had said on many occasions what a wonder your coffee and treats were, and how it was something in his day that he always actively looked forward to. So, you decide, if he wasn’t able to find time in his schedule to come to you, then you would simply have to go to him. He had told you once where he worked: had it been an off-handed comment? Yes. But that didn’t matter.

Half an hour later, you’re out of breath and perhaps a little more sweaty than you wanted to be, but you had found Viktor’s lab. It had taken several wrong turns, and a couple of stops to consult a map and ask strangers for directions, but you had found it. Pleased with yourself, you knock on the door and push it open a crack, poking your head in. Two pairs of eyes immediately zero in on you, and Viktor looks stunned. “What are you doing here?” he asks, yanking the pair of goggles off his head, “did something happen?”

You smile widely, and present the tray of food from behind your back. “You didn’t come by today,” you explain, “and you said you’d been exceptionally crammed lately. I thought I’d bring some of the bakery to you - and Jayce of course.” You tack on the last bit when said partner pouts longingly at the snacks. Viktor’s surprise quickly morphs into something warmer and softer, and he gestures you further into the lab. “I won’t keep you, I know you’re busy” you say, setting the tray down nearby. “I just wanted to make sure that you eat something. I can come by tomorrow, if you’d like?” Viktor opens his mouth to reply, but before he’s about to thank you and agree, Jayce pipes up that yes, you should definitely come by tomorrow.

Viktor, Silco, and the Medardas walk into a bar. They do zaunite shots. Within 30 minutes, Zaun is independent, owns a 50% stake in hextech, and has a powerful new military ally.

Sorry this one took a hot minute (thank fuck for my ego asks aren't dated) but here we go! a bunch of implied ships because Viktor is. Drunk. mind the tags, and cw for alcohol.....obviously. 

-

Mel was starting to think that perhaps this was a mistake.

The time for that occurring may have, admittedly, be well past. Perhaps it should have occurred to her before she agreed to meet her mother for drinks on the other side of the barricade. Perhaps it should have occurred to her before she dressed and set out for the barricade- absolutely not on the barricade itself, that wasn’t the moment for doubt. The whole trip across the bridge had been peaceful serenity, pulling her hood down for the guards, explaining gently that she had to make a diplomatic trip. She hadn’t had a single thought other than the accomplishment of her mission, lest anything about her walk give her away.

The doubts set back in in the shadows of Zaun, winding down streets to a bar that wasn’t The Last Drop- more neutral territory- with no name above the door. She pushes it open, and for a moment, thinks she may have entered the one place she hadn’t intended to. Because that, at the bar, is definitely Silco. That’s Silco. 

Arguing with- ah, she thinks, it’s going to be one of these. 

She walks up to the bar, reaches in front of Viktor to steal his shot, downs it, and says-  “Have either of you seen my mother?”

Silco gives her a flat, unamused look, but Viktor just catches the look in her eye and waves to the bartender. “A double for me and for my friend and keep them coming.” he says. “Ah, and one more? we have someone else coming.”

“Have you invited yourself to my meeting?” Mel asks, amused. “It seems only fair, since you’ve invited yourself to mine.” Viktor deadpans. “And anyway I suppose since you’re here, you could contribute.”

“What’s the topic at hand?”

“I was seeing what the terms of a hypothetical separatist agreement would be, if I could get Jayce to stop having a stroke long enough to consider one.”

“Poor man.” Mel says, absently. She’s considering the beginning of the sentence, but in the background of her mind, turning it over like a multifaceted gem as she continues talking. “He had too much on his plate and then went back up to the table to get more.”

“I believe he’s starting to shut down from the stress. He’s getting hard to talk to.” 

Viktor sounds a little wistful, and Mel rubs his back gently and looks over at Silco. 

“And what were your terms?”

Silco snorts, and then he slides her his shotglass.

“Drink up.” He says. “And lets get a table, shall we?”

--

When Ambessa Medarda arrives she is welcomed with considerably more enthusiasm than she was expecting, and a line of shots.

--

“So.” Viktor says, enunciating too carefully, like someone who holds his liqueur well but has just had the alcoholic equivalent of being hit by a train. “I-- have a confession. To make.”

“Are you sure this is the place to make it?” Mel asks, amused, and then glowers at her mother when Ambessa snorts. “He’s on my side, i’m not being soft i’m protecting my innnnnettrests.” 

Viktor waves them off. “It’s a problem.” He continues. “I have. A problem.”

“I am in the habit of solving problems.” Silco says, with the air of someone who usually shoots his problems in the chest and then in the head for good measure.  

Viktor points at him. “No.” He says.

“Just tell us the problem.” Ambessa says, looking unduly amused.

“-right.” Viktor says. He’s gotten distracted, pointing at Silco turning into poking his cheek on the unmarred side of his face. Silco was letting him, was the really confusing part. “There is only one thing I hate. More than politics.”

“Are we talking politics again?” mel asked. “I thought- we fixed that. Did we?”

“I’m not sure writing that on a napkin was legally binding.” Viktor says. “Oh, it will be.” Silco mutters, darkly, and Viktor pokes his cheek again. “No.” he says. “My problem is that I hate business. I hate it. I have-- shares. In the business. And I do not want them. I do not want the board meetings. I do not want it. But i’m a little concerned about losing any kind of-- ownership. Especially since a good chunk of the rest are with you, Mel, no offense, you’re a calculating nightmare.” Mel looks pleased. “Thank you.”

“Right, yes. Exactly. I want-- less. of the business. And if I want the business again. I will simply. Marry Jayce. So who wants them.”

Silco raises a hand with the air of someone completely disbelieving of the fact that he’s doing this. Viktor points at him.  “If I want them back, i’ll marry you.”

“Are you just- marrying people.” 

“May I suggest my daughter.” Ambessa deadpans. 

“Mother.”

“He’s very calculating. He could be useful.”

Mel sighs, and grabs another napkin, writing on it. “Alright.” She says. “So you don’t have to marry me for undue influence over your own work- don’t look at me like that. Stop considering it. Anyway.”

“I just think we’d take over Runeterra.” Viktor muses. “You’d be a very useful ally.”

“Likewise. okay. Jayce...is still primary shareholder. We just both give up our shares, he keeps the most of it, and we give the rest to someone who won’t ever have incentive to shut you down-” She slides the napkin to Silco.

“You.”

Silco takes the napkin. “And what’s to stop a- hostile takeover, in a more conventional sense of hostile.”

“Your powerful new military ally.” Mel says, and then claps her mother on the back. “You can iron out the details of that. I am going to. Powder my nose.

“You need a hand?” Viktor asks. Mel eyes him, and then shrugs.

“sure, the more the merrier. lets-- go.”

--

In the morning, they go across the bridge hungover with the paperwork, and Jayce doesn’t bother asking questions.

You’re Priceless

Part 2: Gift Giving

FANDOM: Arcane

Character(s): Viktor

Type of Request: Series, Sugar Daddy/Sugar Baby AU, Fluff

Word Count: 1349

Note(s): I meant to post this earlier but ended up busy with other things. But here it is! Also thank you everyone that gave the previous part so much love. I appreciate it ❤️

Part 1 :: Part 3

A few weeks have passed since Jayce introduced you and Viktor. The two of you had talked multiple times, setting up your boundaries as well as how Viktor should take care of you. It was very sweet and heartwarming when he said he didn’t want to spend money on things you didn’t like and asked for your preferences.

So far it’s just been him paying every time he’s taken you out to do something. Mostly it’s eating as he doesn’t do that enough since he throws himself in his work more often than not. Each time you’ve gone out, you’d talk about his work and he’d ask you about how you’re doing. You hadn’t realized how nice it felt to be doted on.

Viktor was still a pretty shy man, however. Or maybe inexperienced? You notice that he is still rather self-conscious with certain aspects of himself so you’ve tried your best to let him know that is amazing. That always makes his face go a deep red, which you can’t deny that you love.

Today was another day where Viktor asked you to join him on his lunch break. He’d mentioned to you previous that he didn’t take breaks much but now he wants to enjoy them with you. That quickly put a smile on your face and you instantly agreed as you had nothing else planned for the day.

“And then it blew up.” Viktor was talking to you about an experiment he was working on with Jayce. He has told you about a few experiments in the past weeks. It still did nothing to stop you from being a tad startled by how nonchalant Viktor acted at something blowing up.

“Are you okay? You didn’t get hurt, did you?” You asked and Viktor gave a soft smile at your concern. 

“I am fine, my dear. Jayce, however, needed to change his clothing. It seemed that the blast didn’t like his vest.” A grin crept onto Viktor’s face as he leaned closer to you, as if going to tell you a secret. “I can’t say I blamed it.” You couldn’t help a chuckle at that as you shook your head.

“Well I am glad that you two are alright.” There was a tad bit of guilt as you knew you worried more for Viktor than Jayce. Jayce is a good friend, but Viktor is… well you don’t really have a label on your relationship. 

Apparently, your arrangement isn’t uncommon but you don’t want to go around calling yourself a sugar baby. You’d hate to see what would happen to Viktor’s reputation. He had already told you about the reaction many people in Piltover had when a Zaunite came here so you would hate for people to look down on him again. 

“What is on your mind?” Viktor took you out of your thoughts and you gave him a sheepish look at being caught. His eyes were full of concern and that made you feel more guilt.

“Just thinking of what to call us,” you answered honestly. You were never able to lie to those golden eyes of his. Viktor gave you a curious look at your statement. “We’re not dating, but we also are more than friends. I suppose I’m just a bit confused should someone ever ask.” 

“Ah, I see.” Viktor took a few moments to think as well, his face going a tad red at the idea. “I enjoy my time with you and, I hope it’s the same?” You quickly nodded. “If someone were to ask, I suppose we could tell them we’re together just to avoid that awkwardness. But with just us, we don’t need to have a label, do we?” He asked and you thought about that for a bit.

You didn’t necessarily feel pressured to label you and Viktor as anything really. It was only you two plus some close friends that knew you had this relationship of sorts. The thought of telling strangers that you’re dating though… you couldn’t deny the way it caused your heart to speed up slightly.

“You really don’t mind?” Viktor just gave you a look at that statement.

“Do I mind telling random people that I’m seeing someone as captivating as you?” That definitely causes you to feel more flustered. Another thing you learned as you grew closer with him is that he is very good with his words, it just takes him a bit to gather his thoughts at times.

“You’re not too bad yourself,” you couldn’t help but say, reveling in the fact that it caused his face to grow redder. You smiled a bit in victory as he rolled his eyes in amusement.

His lunch break was unfortunately almost over so he paid for everything, like usual, and offered you his arm as you both walked. You usually walked with him to the academy doorstep and he went the rest of the way so you expected that to happen again. Instead, he led you in a different direction.

“Viktor?” You questioned and he just gave you a reassuring smile. He has not once done anything to make you uncomfortable so you trusted him. You continued walking with him, exchanging small talk before realizing he had taken you to a jewelry store. A very nice jewelry store as well. “You don’t have to–”

“I want to. Whatever you want. A ring, bracelet, necklace, just whatever catches your eye. I’ll buy it for you.” He has given you gifts before, but mostly flowers. Buying actual jewelry? That was a lot more expensive than flowers, but the look on his face let you know that you would be unable to convince him otherwise.

So you walked in with him and took a look around. You tried to eye some less expensive items, which Viktor quickly caught onto and maneuvered you to the more expensive pieces. Damn him and his intelligence. 

Eventually, something did catch your eye. It was amazing and shiny and cost a lot. You quickly tried to look at something else, but Viktor called over the store owner.

“I would like that piece, please.” The owner seemed more than happy to sell something expensive, giving the best customer service as Viktor asked to see if it needed resizing. You fell more in love with the piece when it was on you. Thankfully it fit, not perfectly as it felt a tad small, but Viktor was already spending a lot of money so you weren’t going to ask him to spend more to resize the accessory.

You walked out, feeling elated at the fact Viktor just bought you something so pretty and expensive but also feeling guilty because he bought you something so pretty and expensive.

“You didn’t have to do that,” you muttered as you moved your new jewelry piece to see the different angles in the sunlight.

“Oh do you want to go back and return it?” Viktor teased and chuckled at the look of hesitance and horror at the idea that appeared on your face. “I wanted to buy you something. You have been so kind and good to me so I wanted to give you something that actually had value besides just taking you somewhere to eat.”

“Food is valuable,” you commented and Viktor rolled his eyes at that. “You’re only rolling your eyes because you don’t take care of yourself like you should.” Viktor chuckled at that.

“I am doing a lot better since meeting you.” That was pretty true as Viktor had been rather scrawny when you first met. He’s still scrawny but he actually has some meat on his bones now. “But if you really don’t like the gift–” His teasing turned to concern as you knew he must be feeling self-conscious again.

You quickly leaned up to kiss him on the cheek, something you have not done yet. Viktor’s face went a bright red as he turned to clear his throat. “I love it, thank you Viktor.”

“Anything for you,” he stuttered out and you couldn’t help a chuckle as you looked at this precious man.

[blurbour]

Ok, I have some thoughts on Viktor and his lore (in Arcane and his "original" lore). I don't like how things are going in the series (I'm afraid they frame Viktor as a villain) and I wanted to talk to someone abt it so here it goes.

Arcane spoilers ahead!!

Before anything, it's important to state that I'm not gonna complain saying "aw they changed his original lore" and bla bla bla. No, I'm here bc after reading his original lore I'm afraid that his lore in Arcane goes in a different direction and end up making him be seen and be framed as a villain in Act 3.

In my humble opinion I think Arcane should have brought more details from his original lore bc watching it I felt everything that the person in this post said about Viktor and I think it would connect perfectly with lore-Viktor and vice versa and it would help build up his character better (not making me or anybody else feel like he can be portrayed as a villain but I'll talk about it later).

First appearance (episode 2)

So, ever since episode 2 when we see Viktor in Jayce's trial it seems like he might be up to something bad (not bc of his character itself but bc of his interactions, expressions, placements, etc).

The first moment in Jayce's trial his character is shadowed right after Jayce passes him but he's in evidence, why? Most importantly, what for? What is he seeking in Jayce? It's just too ominous.

Seconds later the trial begins and Jayce ends up being pushed to speak that he's studying magic and this intrigues Viktor.

And the moment Jayce says that magic can be used for good would be a great moment to cut to Viktor but it cuts to him after Jayce says "We're the champions of discovery. Why fear it when we can master it?" and Viktor looks like he's thinking "He understands it. We're on the same page."

Like, I understand they had to let Jayce speak all of this 'til the end for Heimerdinger to shut him up but depending on how the audience perceives Viktor people can understand that he wants the power of magic to do harm and not actually help people (that IS his goal in his original lore but with this it ends up being ambiguous and can lead people to think that he only says he wants to help people to cover a bad intention). But anyway, let's continue.

When Viktor comes back again he's with Heimerdinger locking Jayce's stuff and Heimer says leaving the room (as Viktor takes Jayce's notes):

Once again it leads you to think that Viktor is up to something.

It kills me bc his first impressions are "he's a bad guy, he'll do something bad at some point".

Plus, right after this the scene cuts to Silco and Singed who as far as I'm aware (I never played LoL, I only read his biography and saw some coments abt him here) is not a good person.

But then, we have THIS sequence:

Which shows that he's actually really empathetic but depending on how you see him it can lead you to think that he's only saving Jayce's life for his own benefit.

Our Hextech dream (episode 3)

Now going to the gayest episode featuring them both (bc we gotta agree that they have A LOT of chemestry, I understand if you only see them as study pals tho).

Their first sequence in the episode is in Jayce's lab where they're talking abt the Hextech and Jayce asks Viktor why he's risking all he has to help him and Viktor answers "Do you think it was my life's ambition to be an assistant? Scientists seek discoveries. Ways to make the world a better place. This Hextech dream of yours has the potential to do that." And then:

Once again we stumble across something that (depending on the audience's perception) makes Viktor ends up sounding egotistical and using "make the world a better place" as an excuse.

(From now on I'll stop using images bc I'm almost reaching the limit allowed and I need to have one more spare space.)

After it we have them breaking in Heimerdinger's lab and floating (honestly, the happiest scene in all the series so far ;;). All nice, all good, seems like Viktor isn't such a bad person after all, right?

Open the gates of progress (episode 4)

Ok, some years have passed and we're now seeing a new Piltover (Hexgates and all that). Our boys are back with new inventions with their Hextech and even got Hextech gemstones.

Heimerdinger comes to their lab to see what new things they got and after their presentation he says that in a decade they'll be able to be fully ready. But this worries Viktor that replies "A decade? With respect, Professor. We can be improving lives with Hextech NOW." Heimer then points "A breakthrough like this takes time, Viktor. Putting that kind of power into everyone's hands is dangerous. Keep at it and I'm sure you will discover a way to safeguard Hextech against misuse." but Viktor doens't even have the chance to talk further abt it but his expression shows how frustrated he is (y'know the man is dying, he wants to help people and doesn't even know if he'll have enough time to achieve this goal of his, it's understandable where he's coming from).

Btw I'll comment on that later too, bc I don't like the idea of him getting sick and probably dying soon.

But I need to talk abt Jayce for a minute. He was chosen to do the speech on Progress Day, during this whole episode there's focus on him. In the beginning he invited Heimerdinger to the lab, he was the one invited to Mel's event, he was responsible for the speech. Even on the next episodes he's the one who's earning the place in the concil, the girl, etc (while Viktor's decaying and losing everything).

And it's interesting how we can understand that he's ego is increasing. The scene right before his speech he drinks from his own mug and even "crushes" Viktor when putting it back on the table.

An interesting detail I kept paying attention was that Viktor always stays in the shadows while the light always follows Jayce (remember his trial and now again at the speech).

Another detail I noticed during this episode is that Jayce is always controlling the situation. From a simple action of stopping Viktor (when he's going after Heimerdinger to continue talking when they finish their presentation) to changing the plans right on stage now allowing Viktor to show their work. Even when the Council was talking abt the Hextech gemstones he did the same things, stopped Viktor from standing up and without asking/checking with him told that he would suspend all Hextech operations.

Here, the last time Viktor's expressions are shown is after Jayce says that they'd suspend everything including the laboratories. After that Jayce is the only one adressed as a scientist, everybody in the Council consider Hextech only HIS work and he doesn't even include Viktor. (what happened to OUR Hextech dream, huh?)

And we don't see them again, only Jayce when he talks to Caitlyn already as a councilor.

Shaping your own destiny (episode 5)

Many people have mixed feelings abt this episode when it comes to our science boys but I think this is the one that is mostly full of important details and parallels and I really like it for that!

In their first part of this episode Jayce is talking about his councilor stuff to Viktor as he replies that that talk is a poor use of their time and asks "What about our pledge to save lives, for those in need? For the undercity?". Jayce then apologizes for not announcing their other projects in his speech and says that soon they could do what they had to but Viktor interrupts him saying "Soon? There are people who need our help NOW, Jayce." But there's no chance to continue talking bc Marcus arrives and Viktor leaves right after coughing blood and having a "vision".

WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO YOU MY BABY BOY???

When they appear again Jayce is looking at himself in the mirror while talking to Viktor who's working on the Hexcore. The problem in this scene (imo) is that Viktor seems to be now obsessed with the Hextech in a way he never was before (at least for us that are watching) and he seems... different.

After that we have Jayce diving deeper in politics and being heterosexual while Viktor is working (and eventually fainting). But the parallel between Jayce + Mel and Viktor + Hexcore through their sequences (althought for many it was painful and unbelievable to watch) was really interesting and here are some of my notes:

The whole sequence (especially Jayce's part alone) we see that Jayce is achieving things. He's become councilor, he's now involved in politics, he got the girl, basically everything is going well for him. While Viktor is not being able to discover or solve the problems he wants to solve. He's efforts were put aside, he can't put the Hexcore to work, and he's also DYING.

The transition back and forth between Jayce + Mel and Viktor + Hexcore was very well thought! Jayce and Mel are becoming one as well as Viktor and the Hexcore. The use of the color purple is also really good as it represents luxury but at the same time alchemy, power and magic.

The transition from Mel alone in her bed to Viktor in the hospital bed was also interesting as both are very active in Jayce's life. But in the end he chose to be with his dying science partner.

And now we have the most important detail of them all that was the main reason why I thought they could make Viktor be painted as a villain:

These tarot cards (Death and the Magician). They appear right after Viktor asks to Jayce "How much time do I have?" and respectively mean letting something die for new beginnings to come and having the resouces to start these new beginnings. The positive aspects of the Magician work very well with his original lore (bc it talks abt using your skills for good and achieving things you daydream abt) but the negative aspects of this card are:

Illness;

Infidelity;

A great loss;

The use of your skills and talents for evil.

My fear is that they use all of these ambiguous hints and the negative aspects of the Magician (that has Viktor's illustration in it) to portrait him as a villain (I'll finish to talk abt episode 6 and then I come back to this).

Uncharted waters (episode 6)

I think we can all agree this episode speaks mostly abt Viktor when either him or Jayce have a scene. Before the opening there's a flashback from Viktor's childhood (where he partnered up with Singed*), then we have Jayce talking abt Viktor's conditions to Mel, back again to Viktor but he's with the Hexcore, both together working with the Hexcore and last but not least Viktor meeting Singed again after so long.

*Remember I mentioned him earlier? Yeah, it was bc of this episode.

Let's go from the beginning then. The episode starts a flashback of Viktor's childhood as a lonely boy testing his invention and ending up meeting a strange man who's taking care of a mutation called Rio. He offers him self to be an assistant to take care of her (and we further know that when he discovers the state Rio is he ends up running away end not coming back). After it the scene cuts to older Viktor sitting where (according to Heimerdinger) he used to sit as a young scholar.

Then we see Mel and Jayce. Jayce going after her to apologize for disappearing and tell that Viktor's dying. He tells that it might have something to do with the place Viktor grew up in and that this was one of the things they wanted to fix with Hextech. Improve lives, solve real issues. They talk a little and Mel suggests that he should stay with Viktor.

Personally I hated this scene bc if someone had to talk abt Viktor's past (and also motivations) it was Viktor, not him. But anyway, I'll come back to this later as well.

The interesting thing in this scene tho is that right when Jayce says "It's a beautiful painting" as we see him and Mel almost as they were inside this bright painting it cuts to Viktor as he was sitting inside the Hexcore but here in a dark enviroment. (Once again having a parallel between them, now with brightness and darkness.)

The next time we see them, Jayce and Viktor are together in their lab. Viktor is showing Jayce that the Hexcore responds to organic matter and says "This is unlike anything we've ever seen, Jayce. It could be the key to augmenting physiology, extending life..." and Jayce complements "Curing you." [Plant dies]

I'm not gonna lie that I had a little laugh when I first watched this scene.

The dialogue continues a little longer with Viktor telling there might not have enought time to make the Hexcore work with organic matter and Jayce says they'll gonna ask Heimerdinger for help.

When they come back to the screen again Heimer is with them as they show him the Hexcore. He says that they must destroy it but Jayce replies saying it could save Viktor's life. Then Heimer says "Viktor, something's different. You've changed. What did you do?"

Note: everytime someone mentions saving Viktor's life with the Hexcore it's always Jayce but I never understood why Viktor never said that they'd first use it to help other people first. It implies that "yes, Viktor wants to use the Hexcore to cure himself and maybe then help people" and I don't like it.

Jayce and Heimer then discuss and after Heimer leaves Viktor says "I might know someone else who could help."

The last time Viktor appears in the episode (and before Act 3) is when he goes after Singed and only says "I understand now". And it ends there the sequence of science pals.

Personal comments

Let's go now through my thoughts and opinions abt everything I wrote here. So, back again to what I said in the beginning of this post: I believe Arcane-Viktor and lore-Viktor would be complementary to one another and if they had used more of his original lore he'd probably be seen more as a good character.

"But why that?" you might ask. Bc in his original lore he really wanted to help people. While living in Zaun he did reseaches and offered himself to help places reduce their number of accidents. As you read it you can see that his heart is in a good place (although he might seem a little radical).

If they told this abt his character in Arcane it'd support his argument of saying that he wanted to use Hextech to make the world a better place and help people (like, we only come to know what problems they wanna fix in episode 6 and Jayce is the one that talks abt it, before that we only have Viktor's words and only after having hits that he might actually be a bad person). They should have let Viktor talk abt his past, show what he's been through, not Jayce.

And let's mention Viktor getting SICK and DYING?? Plus being left behind by his fellow partner and the shit coming down for him in a way that he even went after Singed?? These two things can make such a fucking mess... Like, what if they make Viktor use Hextech only for his own benefit? And the writers can use the fact that he's dying to justify his Glorious Evolution (that didn't come from his experiences but seeing other people's), all that just sounds so... terrible. If anybody is to be selfish and egotistic that person is Jayce (his original lore even shows this side of his), Viktor always tried to help others (he even used himself as the first "prototype" for his Glorious Evolution). I stg I'll get really pissed if they paint Viktor as a villain.

Well, these are my thoughts, Idk what to expect but I'm really afraid of what's gonna happen in Act 3. I want them to end the series in a very tightened but the future is unknown, I can only hope for the best.

Please share your thoughts, I'll love to read them! <3

TL;DR: some of my thoughts on Viktor's scenes that people might perceive him as a bad person and how writers could have used this to paint him as a villain. (+ how I feel abt all that)

Prompt: Baker!Reader bringing treats to Viktor?

You glance at the clock on the wall, and then at the door; when no one walks through, you also glance out at the street through the large windows lining the front of the shop. Once again, though, no one is there; no customers, nor passerby. You try to ignore the pang of sadness in your chest, but without any patrons to distract you it proves difficult. It wasn’t a busy time of day, so you’re not really surprised that no one is vying for a pastry at the moment - but that’s not what you’re upset about. For months now, you’d had a regular customer -Viktor, his name was- and every day like clockwork, he would come into your shop to purchase a custard pastry and an over-sugared coffee with sweetmilk.

But not today, it seemed. Such a fact certainly dampered your mood, but you knew it had only been a matter of time. Viktor was a busy man, you had learned, and during his visits over the past week, he’d looked increasingly stressed and tired. You had, of course, asked him about what was bothering him so much, and it hadn’t taken much prodding for him to air out his anxieties. You didn’t understand most of the technical jargon during his rant, but you certainly understood what it meant to be overworked: years ago, when you had worked as an apprentice for another shop closer to the edge of the city, you had been much the same - thirteen hour shifts, early mornings, late nights, and lots of coffee.

You quickly walk to the front door and flip the little ‘open for business’ sign over, noting the shop as closed instead. Viktor had said on many occasions what a wonder your coffee and treats were, and how it was something in his day that he always actively looked forward to. So, you decide, if he wasn’t able to find time in his schedule to come to you, then you would simply have to go to him. He had told you once where he worked: had it been an off-handed comment? Yes. But that didn’t matter.

Half an hour later, you’re out of breath and perhaps a little more sweaty than you wanted to be, but you had found Viktor’s lab. It had taken several wrong turns, and a couple of stops to consult a map and ask strangers for directions, but you had found it. Pleased with yourself, you knock on the door and push it open a crack, poking your head in. Two pairs of eyes immediately zero in on you, and Viktor looks stunned. “What are you doing here?” he asks, yanking the pair of goggles off his head, “did something happen?”

You smile widely, and present the tray of food from behind your back. “You didn’t come by today,” you explain, “and you said you’d been exceptionally crammed lately. I thought I’d bring some of the bakery to you - and Jayce of course.” You tack on the last bit when said partner pouts longingly at the snacks. Viktor’s surprise quickly morphs into something warmer and softer, and he gestures you further into the lab. “I won’t keep you, I know you’re busy” you say, setting the tray down nearby. “I just wanted to make sure that you eat something. I can come by tomorrow, if you’d like?” Viktor opens his mouth to reply, but before he’s about to thank you and agree, Jayce pipes up that yes, you should definitely come by tomorrow.

Come and kill me

Fandom: LOL Rating: E Warnings: / Relationships: Jayce/Viktor Characters: Jayce, Viktor Additional Tags: Original Lore, Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot, Love/Hate, Rimming, Orgasm Delay/Denial, Begging, Inspired by Fanart Summary:

It all begins with one of Jayce’s umpteenth ultimatums to Viktor.

(Inspire by this fanart)

(AO3 link)

It all begins with one of Jayce’s umpteenth ultimatums to Viktor - because as much as he should, he can’t bring himself to just crush him with his hammer and be done with him - and with the latter’s reply to just come kill him if he’s so pressed about what he’s doing.

If they were supposed to fight, though, why is Jayce sitting on Viktor’s face, pants discarded who remembers where, like his hammer - and isn’t it dumb of him to leave himself defenseless like this? - while he gets eaten out?

 This surely won’t be part of the list of Jayce’s smartest decisions, but damn if he can’t bring himself to care, not when Viktor moves his tongue oh so right and makes him almost forget his own name.

And since when he’s so good at this anyway? Jayce doesn’t remember him like this, and he doubts Viktor’s had any kind of experience outside of that little thing they shared - so little that it always manages to stop them from actually killing each other - because nobody else but Jayce could ever keep up with him-- yeah, yeah, he’s being egocentric blah blah blah, but what can he say? It’s not egocentrism if it’s true.

 Viktor swirls his tongue around his rim and Jayce moans, rubbing himself against his face in search for more.

There was a time in which he wouldn’t have dreamed to do something like this, and not because he had any particular qualms about hurting Viktor, but because in the unfortunate eventuality he would’ve snapped his neck, he would’ve never heard the end of it - that and he also would’ve had to find an excuse for what happened, because like hell he was going to let the fact that he and Viktor fucked become public knowledge.

As much as he doesn’t agree with Viktor’s philosophy, he can’t deny that the augmentations have made him stronger. It would be foolish to dispute that, though Jayce always makes a point to remind him that, despite everything, there’s still a human part inside him that he’ll never be able to get rid of.

 Apparently, however, Viktor doesn’t like that he’s taking the lead - when does he ever? - and after just a couple of seconds of letting Jayce do as he pleases, he grabs his thighs with a steel hold, keeping him in place as he lavishes his entrance the way he sees fit.

Jayce can’t help but to groan, and he almost mutters a “please”, before thinking better of it - like hell he’s going to humiliate himself like this.

He grits his teeth and tries to take what he can get, despite his limited mobility, but Viktor must’ve understood what’s going on, because the fucker decides that now it’s a great moment to slow down.

“Viktor…” Jayce warns him. If he doesn’t go back at it like he was doing before… well, he’ll come up with something. That gives Viktor pause - unfortunate - and makes him pull away - even more unfortunate - to look at him and damn, it’s still so creepy how similar he looks to the old version of himself despite the augments.

“Say please,” he says, looking way too serious for someone who just uttered those words. Fuck, why does he look so sexy?

“Or what?” Jayce challenges him, because he always picks the worst choice every time he has the occasion for it.

He’s lucky Viktor knows him well enough to expect it, and thus he isn’t perturbed at all by his words.

“Or else you won’t come,” he replies, then, now with a hint of amusement in his voice, as if Jayce couldn’t crush his head between his thighs. He should do it, he really should, but despite the temptation, there’s something about this entire situation that… that gets to him, and despite the fact that just a minute ago he was against it, he finds himself considering Viktor’s words carefully.

 “… Fine. Pretty please, Viktor?”

What he gets for his effort is an unimpressed glare.

“Why don’t you ever take anything seriously?”

“What?” Jayce reels back. “I am taking this seriously!”

Viktor looks between indignant and baffled, but at least after shaking his head and muttering something in his native language that Jayce doesn’t understand, he gets back to business.

“O-Oh! Right there!” Jayce can’t help but to moan, relieved that this moment of pause is over.

He needs it so bad he’s going to explode, so Viktor better give it to him.

 Turns out Viktor’s a little shit of a madman - which isn’t anything new, truly - but only now Jayce can see that his evilness truly has no limit, because the asshole always slows down right when Jayce’s near the apex, sometimes even pulling away under the guise of catching his breath - as if they both know he doesn’t need it anymore.

The more this torture continues, the more Jayce feels weak, and the more he keeps going back to his previous ideas to crush Viktor’s head.

“Viktor… C’mon, man… I don’t have all day,” he tries to reason with him, hoping that it’ll manage to make him see the error of his ways, but Viktor continues, relentless.

Sure, Jayce could turn things around and get want he wants with force, but… despite everything, he’s still hard as a rock, which is something that he’ll probably have to think about later, but not now because doing introspection while fucking doesn’t seem that great of an idea even for him.

“Viktor…” he tries again, but it accomplishes nothing as Viktor lazily drags his tongue around his entrance, pressing it inside just barely before retracting it immediately.

 Jayce has no idea how long he’s going to last before he goes crazy. He’s come to a point in which his mind feels dizzy between the pleasure Viktor’s bringing him and the frustration about it not being enough for him to come.

At first he thought he might be able to pull through, but he understands now that it’s not the case. He has to relent.

“Viktor… Please.”

Viktor stops for just a moment - probably surprised to hear Jayce say something like that so earnestly - but then he continues, this time pressing his tongue further inside Jayce, going harder and faster, but it’s still not enough!

“I’m beggin’… Please! Pleasepleasepleaseplease!!”

He stops talking only because Viktor moves a hand to grab his cock, jerking him off while he continues pushing his tongue inside. It’s warm and wet and all Jayce can do is moaning Viktor’s name, grateful for what he’s been finally granted - and when has he ever felt like this?

It’s humiliating to say the least, and yet it also feels so good, truly incredible, and the fact that it’s Viktor of all people the one who’s making him feel like this only adds fuel to the fire: he’s not going to last long.

 In a rare moment of kindness, he tries to warn Viktor, he truly does, but no words come out of his mouth, or at least no words that would make sense. All he can do is lose himself to the pleasure.

His vision turns white as he comes, and for a moment, Jayce thinks he’s going to pass out right there right now, still sitting on Viktor’s face, but he manages to remain conscious throughout his entire orgasm.

Then Viktor stops holding him down and lets Jayce go, though the other doesn’t really move much - he can’t right now - but he sits on Viktor’s chest instead that on his face, giving him a moment of respite.

The hilarity of the fact that he’s gotten a bit of cum on his hair - that’s surely going to be a bitch to wash out later - is immediately cut by another wave of arousal as Viktor brings his dirty, mechanical fingers closer to his mouth and then parts his lips, licking out the cum staining them, all without moving his gaze from Jayce, who shudders at the view under him.

Damn him! Just as he was about to make a snarky remark about his hair too! Spotlight hogger!

What’s even worse is Viktor’s condescending tone as he speaks again, which makes Jayce’s knees feel even weaker than they already were - he will have to do a lot of introspection once he’s alone.

 “See? It wasn’t that hard, now… Wasn’t it?”

To Fix A Broken Heart (Victor x Orianna)

A collection of ideas for VictOri based on a Beauty and the Beast AU. Viktor has Orianna staying in his compound in return for her father’s safety. He wants to get the secrets of how she came to be… she just wants to get out. Slowly, their talks become less about science, and more about… emotions.

~

(The Soup scene) Their first genuine conversation, where both parties are actually listening to the other, is about food. Oreanna missing it. Viktor badmouthing the experience, inconsequential, a waste of time and resources, and Oreanna just sadly looks at something she used to love and shares her melancholy at the memories of biting into it. Or slurping. It could be soup. The warmth and comfort it gave her as a kid. Her sad tone is enough to make Viktor stop his points and really reflect about his own history with food. After a while, he breaks the silence and shares a memory. His mother would feed him soup too, when he was sickly. He… loved her recipe. Orianna smiles and touches his arm. He huffs and moves away.

~

(Echoing the Snowball Fight) There is a scene where Viktor tries showing off something he can do with his augmentations, shooting something maybe, and he looks so smug about it. Goes on a speech about his impeccable calibrations, as Oreanna shushes him and tells him, 'Watch me.’ She does it much better.

… Now it becomes a competition neither wants to let the other win. The shooting grounds is now in disarray, and it ends with both looking disheveled. Orianna laughs first at Viktor's appearance, and though he'd usually take offense to something like that, he finds himself laughing too. A nice childish moment.

This is the first time Orianna has been able to laugh. Genuinely, from emotion, not as a response she forces for someone in a conversation. She’s surprised and shares this with Viktor, and Viktor can’t help feel special and begin to overheat.

~

Jayce catches wind about Orianna being in Viktor’s possession. This can’t be good. The thought of her helping Viktor's research makes him feel like there’s a timer on stopping him once and for all, before he becomes too much. He visits Ekko, and informs him about the possible danger. Tells him that Viktor has a weapon now that can ensure his work progresses quicker. And to drive it home, he can say that Ekko should care because his people would, naturally, be the first to go. It puts Ekko in a difficult position… where he has to agree to keep an eye out on Viktor’s compound. He helps Jayce with spying.

~

Maybe Ekko later on runs into Orianna while she was alone in Viktor's area. She’s friendly and open with him, so Ekko tries to figure out what was really going on. As he hears her situation, he then tries convincing her to leave Viktor with him. She says she can't, but doesn’t explain why. She thinks she’s making a connection with Viktor. She… wants to see what it’s leading to. Ekko takes it as more confirmation of her being in a hostage situation. When he reports this to Jayce, he feels the same. If Orianna can’t leave, they’ll force her out of there. They have a plan that will temporarily cut Viktor’s power supply enough to have his troops come in and ‘clean’ the place.

~

The power in Viktor’s compound has been nullified with a disruptive pulse. It’s one thing that his machines are now useless, but with how strong it was, Orianna is in jeopardy. Her power source now off, her consciousness turns off and she 'faints.’ Viktor was far from her, dealing with what he thought was all the intruders. Trying to keep them from reaching her room. But there was Ekko’s group coming from the back, ready to pick her up as he’s distracted. She is kidnapped.

She’s  brought to Jayce's lab for questioning and for his own exploration of how she works. He’s crueler with her, truly seeing her as nothing but a machine. Orianna fights back at every opportunity, recognizing him as dangerous, if not more so, than Viktor. It’s enough to buy Viktor time to realize what’s occurred and go to save her, guns blazing, self sacrificial. No time for plans, no time for calculations, his ideal logical mind is gone and he is full of rage.

He makes it to her room, but he’s extremely weakened.

It’s a stalemate, where Jayce has Orianna in his hands and Viktor has him in his sights. Jayce tells Viktor he still has forces on Viktor's property. A second wave that swarmed as soon as he left. Without him there, they can easily destroy everything. His life's work once and for all. He tells him to go, they can call it off as a truce since Jayce doesn’t want to die.

But Viktor isn’t going without her. He tells him so, and that- is too scary for Jayce to agree to. He’s now seen what Orianna is for himself. A true marvel of science. She can’t fall to his hands. Jayce insists on Viktor learning his place, renewed anger and fear making him hold Orianna closer, to press his gun right to Orianna’s heart.

Viktor is shaking with anger. He really wants to shoot him. To end it. But Orianna is wide eyed, looking at him, anticipating his next moves and he doesn’t want to do this in front of her. To show her the extent of his inhumanity. To give her more to hate about him. So, he lets down his weapons and begs for Orianna to be let go. They can take his inventions. They can take him. Let. Her. Go.

Orianna quakes. She’s filled with love for the man Viktor has become. He’s changed, he cares. They lock eyes. They know.

He loves her.

But cocky, stupid Jayce’s laugh stops the lover’s thoughts. And he shoots Viktor instead.

An earlier version of Viktor could have dodged. Deflected. But he was weak. Distracted. His systems only caught on to the bullet’s trajectory when it was too close. It hit him in his exposed chest. He crumples to the floor.

He has a human heart.

The thought makes Orianna’s mind whir faster.

He has a human human heart. The bullet hit him in his heart. His heart!

Orianna’s body gains new strength. She moves like finely-tuned machinery as she crunches Jayce’s arm like it was nothing. Jayce screams and lets her go.

She smoothly moves to Viktor’s body, kneeling and holding him. She can’t feel anything. Her mind is analytical, taking in his wound, searching for solutions. Jayce has recuperated. He fires at her, but she easily shields herself. She picks up Viktor and moves to the exit. Jayce attempts to block her, but again, he is quickly dealt with by a swing of her arm. She has no room for emotions or for morals as she deals with the people in her way. They only distract her from her goal.

To fix Viktor.
