#jayce is so fucking stupid in love with that man it's insane like it's not even the fangirl in me

[hellborg]

the way that viktor has always seen himself as broken. the way that jayce has never seen viktor as anything or anyone else but himself in his entirety; not his disability, not his physical body, not his cane or his inventions or his clothes. Jayce has only ever seen Viktor in the most vulnerable, whole, human way possible. He has always viewed him as his entire person before anything else. as his partner

[mxbbadperson]

ADULT JAYCE? OP SAME HAT?? I was thinking exactly the sameeere

lowkey Jayce would try and scent mark viktor, constantly rubbing himself over the younger boy and getting insanely, insanely jealous and possessive when he even smells a fraction of an unfamiliar scent..

and lowkey? Viktor would use that possessiveness to his advantage. Piltie rich werewolf man that’s obsessed with him? Sure it gets a bit creepy sometimes (actually, really creepy) but in the long run it benefits him. Someone trying to rob him? He doesn’t even have to yell before Jayce is already ripping their throats out.

Skye, oh my lord Jayce and Skye would not be a nice mix. Jayce just glaring her down and thinking of a million ways to rip her apart before the full moon rolls down. and Skye doesn’t like him either, to her all she sees is some weirdo just following viktor around??

AND MEL, oh my lord Mel just rubs her forehead in the most exhausted expression and just tells him to not get caught doing anything stupid.

(Hear me out, NSFW edition: viktor letting Jayce breed him every full moon to distract him from going onto his flesh eating rampage? My lord Jayce would have viktor stuck between him and the floor, dusk till dawn.)

(W: underage)

listen anon, when i saw you specify that viktor is a teen but didn't specify for jayce? I KNEW

jayce is SO smitten, he and his beast are one when it comes viktor. must protect, must provide, must have.

jayce is so in love that viktor feels kinda bad about taking his wallet. that is until he realizes that, wait, jayce is an adult creeping on him and actually does deserve to have his wallet emptied! and look, sky is all for viktor getting money, she doesn't care if viktor stole money! but she does care that the money is coming from a grown-ass man! WHY is viktor humoring this guy?! couldn't viktor find a rich guy their age?!

mel is done. she is just done. she has left jayce to viktor hours ago and is having a spa day. she needs to REST (but also she'll ask jayce what he's gonna do later bc 1. to see if he'll break a law, 2. to help him out when he does)

(YOOOOOOO NICE >:D jayce can smell viktor's arousal and it makes him even more rabid. jayce can't wait to be inside him, to fill him up. and i think after the first night, jayce will take viktor on a bed, has to make sure he's comfortable. or as comfortable as he can be when he's getting fucked by a werewolf lmao)

(can you imagine that by the third full moon they spend together, viktor has replaced jayce's flesh-eating rampage with sheer horniness? ass/pussy so good, it's pavlovian)

[ravenkinnie]

what r ur thoughts about mel in general

mel is so mother, not in a bland girlboss way that people assign female characters they don't actually care about but don't want to be sexist but in a way that I imagine she could inflict emotional violence on me I would think about for decades and also in a gay way because she serves ultimate cunt. I don't like the two ends of the spectrum she gets though, it's either people thinking she is only an evil capitalist manipulator (she is a capitalist but let's not talk about arcanes class worldbuilding issues again lmao) or that she only ever had pure intentions - she did manipulate jayce, she absolutely did work her charm and found cracks in him she could dig her fingers in to make him work the way she wanted and THEN realised she genuinely cares for him. and I love that, I love that she likes a man who is stupider than her and then gets charmed by how earnest he is in his dumbassery

mels issue is fandom is that she's a black woman and people are racist djdjdjkdk and she's attached to a storyline and a man that is largely taken over in fandom landscape by a slash ship so she's always gonna lose, the fact that meljay is a rareship slays me dhsjjs and also her storyline starts kind of late in the season, like it doesn't really kick off until ambessa shows up and by then you have viktor committing unethical experiments and dying and the whole zaun storyline unfolding and everything surrounding jinx-silco-vi triangle is just so enrapturing in its insanity mel stood no chance

but ngl her storyline with ambessa has me gagged, I like gasped when ambessa went BECAUSE YOU WEAKENED ME like the way mel this whole time thought she just didn't live up to ambessas standard and then the realisation that ambessa felt like mel was putting her up to a standard she couldn't live up to and didn't want to accept and that the values she thought she couldn't embody that ambessa did are the reason she was exiled aaaaaaaaa. I hope they get more spotlight next season and noxus becomes more relevant because you see a set number of ways mother daughter relationships are portrayed in media and its rare that there's this sort of violence and strong mindedness present in them the way it often is in father son relationships. I love that mels arc is her rejecting her motherland and their values and building something for herself (like her taking off her family ring and voting for jayces peace treaty even tho the treaty was fucking stupid... jayce is real for that dumb idea just so we could get mels cunt moment and silcos mother coded sophies choice arc)

also there's mels brother who we don't know much about, we know that he was important to mel because duh he's her brother but also she looked up to him in some way. but because arcane moves so fast with its plot she doesn't even get a moment to grieve him

I don't write mel fics a lot tho, just because mel is somewhat smarter than me and that becomes an issue when she has to be written by me, a dumbass. and i cant combat that unlike with another character like with silco who is somewhat smarter than me but he is also extremely delusional and I can balance these out to make it work. acc maybe I need to figure out how to make her more delusional

anyways while I'm here here are mel fic recs: family study this mel/silco fic is one of my favorite arcane fics ever caitmel from linka my fellow Caitlyn Fucks warrior elora/mel that eats character study through being gagged over mels hair insane

[caspercryptid]

hi. i'm taylor swift anon. shaking and crying waiting for your getaway car drabble. i've been loving all the stuff you've been putting out btw. rock on

ALRIGHT HERE WE GO. SOMETHING GOOD STARTS IN A GETAWAY CAR. Thank you for the request!! my inbox is insane rn but this was a super fun one. enjoy!

___

Jayce has to admit that at some point his detailed exit plans started to degrade into fantasies. The first ones had been good, had been genuine. He’d mentally mapped out the entire venue. Noted the locations of the exits. Planned some electrical wiring sabotage. At some point he had remembered that almost everyone he’d ever loved was in this room with him, though, and the plans had gotten a little stupider. Maybe someone would object. Maybe he could bribe Ezreal to out him on twitter. Maybe Ezreal could steal the time machine from the set of Ekko’s latest film Second Chances, and then he could make it work, through sheer scientific genius. And then he’d go back in time, and he’d go tell Viktor he loved him, that he wanted to stay in the band forever, that he didn’t really want to go solo and eventually get that big movie contract, that being a movie star was overrated and stupid and lead to nothing but marrying your lesbian costar for the PR, and Viktor would ask him what the fuck he’d been smoking, and maybe check him for a concussion.

Maybe Caitlyn would object, but no, Caitlyn is standing across from him, in a beautiful rose-pink dress, the maid of honor, bravely keeping her misery off of her face. At least she’ll be standing next to the woman she loves, even if she wants to trade places with him. Or maybe she doesn’t, because there’s press here, and cameras, and Jayce thinks Caitlyn and Vi probably would have eloped, if they weren’t doing this. If he weren’t doing this. He can’t entirely blame Vi, even though it was her idea. Dating in the first place, anyway. They’d been co-starring, she was being correctly accused of being a lesbian, he was being tragically incorrectly accused of having dated Viktor, the longer the rumors went on the more likely it was that someone would get Viktor involved and as far as Jayce knew, Viktor had gone on to have a quiet life as a college professor in Vermont. He had a very active twitter account that Jayce didn’t follow and definitely didn’t check regularly. He had cats.

He has no friends except Caitlyn, and so Ezreal is his best man, which is the saddest part of all of this. It has been six minutes, and Ezreal has checked out Caitlyn five times. The missing sixty seconds were when Jayce had stepped firmly on his foot.

He’s wearing a white suit, which was the compromise for Vi wearing a dress. If it was a black dress, surely that didn’t have any deeper metaphorical meaning. There are white roses everywhere, and Jayce thinks absently about how white was a funeral color in some parts of Asia. He’d have had his wedding in red. There’d have been roses. Viktor– would not have been there, because Viktor hates him. Viktor absolutely hates him, deservedly. He’s fantasizing still about seeing Viktor in the back row, because there’s a photographer that looks a lot like him, moles in the same places, and he needs to stop staring like a weirdo, because it’s his wedding day, and they’re playing here comes the bride, and maybe there’d be an earthquake. Maybe they’d die. Maybe they’d both die.

Vi comes up the aisle on Vander's arm, smiling, and when Jayce smiles back, he hopes that letting himself tear up is selling the bit instead of ruining it. Vander does not look happy, and he feels Ezreal wince next to him and feels a rare moment of genuine kinship there. Vi is somehow pulling off the dress and Jayce has no idea how, and then she gets up with her bouquet and stands in front of him.

"Dearly beloved." The priest starts, "We are gathered here today to witness the union of–"

There's a sound, and for a second Jayce thinks he had to have hallucinated it, because none of his fantasies had escalated quite that far, but no, Vi is turning around, that was definitely the sound of a gun being cocked.

He doesn't turn, for a minute, trying to just process what the fuck is happening, and then there's a voice saying—

"Ah, I got a little bored of waiting for the part where you say speak now. May I cut in?"

And surely, that is not Viktor's voice. Surely it isn't. Had Ezreal slipped him something?

"Oh, shit." Vi mutters.

"I don't think anyone's stopping you, dude." Ezreal calls, because of course he does, "the gun's a pretty effective conversation starter."

It is Viktor, Jayce realizes, numbly, as he finally turns. It was Viktor in the back row, his moles in the same places. He's holding a cane in one hand and a gun in the other, and he's not pointing it at anyone in particular, but he's holding it like he knows how to use it. If Jayce remembers correctly, he does.

"Right," Viktor says, "that was the goal, but really it's more like a conversation end-er. Jayce, are you coming willingly or am I kidnapping you? Those are your options."

Jayce opens his mouth, and then closes it again. He looks at Vi.

"I don't like that look, Talis–" she starts, and then Jayce grabs the bouquet out of her hand, chucks it in the direction of his half the room.

"Better luck to someone else!" He says, and then absolutely sprints down the aisle, ignoring the sound of spluttering behind him.

Viktor tosses the gun aside with a flippancy that makes several people duck and cover their heads as it hits the ground, and then Jayce reaches him and Viktor grabs his arm.

"You're going to have to drive the getaway car." Viktor informs him, pushing him along ahead of him as they reach the steps of the church. There's a black Rolls Royce out front with just married painted on the back of it, having been waiting for Vi and Jayce to climb in, and Jayce is grinning, can just feel himself grinning without being able to stop.

"How did you get here?" He asks.

"I took a taxi from the airport. Do you have the keys or am I hot-wiring it?"

"This isn't an extremely subtle getaway car." Jayce says, as he pulls the keys out and climbs in the driver's side and mentally analyzes why am I hot-wiring it was such a deeply sexy question.

"Of course it isn't." Viktor says, as he heads around to the passenger side and gets in. "You did all this for the publicity, right? It's only fitting that your exit is equally dramatic."

Jayce almost drops the keys fumbling to get them into the ignition after he climbs in.

"How did you know—"

"It was Violet."

"Fair enough." He says, and manages to turn the car on. He has a lot of questions he doesn't know how to ask, but he manages—

"The problem with an obvious getaway car is that the police—"

"It wasn't loaded."

"What?"

"It wasn't loaded, Jayce, start driving before Vander gets out here."

That kicks Jayce into gear, and he slams down the gas pedal hard enough that Viktor jerks back in the seat and says several very creative swear words in a language Jayce only half remembers. It might be Czech. God it's been so long.

"Why?" Jayce asks.

"Why what?" Viktor asks, voice tight, and Jayce would almost accuse him of being willfully obtuse but this is... classic Viktor. Wait till you know exactly what question you're being asked so you don't offer any additional information. Jayce missed him so much.

"Why interrupt my wedding with an unloaded gun, for starters."

"So I can't be charged for an actual murder attempt, Jayce. This way it was just– a fit of insanity. To rescue my best friend from a situation he didn't want to be in. You can even chalk it up to my desperate unreciprocated homosexual longing, or however the fuck TMZ put it last week—"

"What?" Jayce says, realizes that's the wrong question. "I mean–" actually, he doesn't know the right question. "What."

"I outed neither of you." Viktor continues, voice cold. "So if you'd like you can still blame it on being terrified of what I'd do to you, you can claim you canceled the wedding out of fear of another traumatic experience, and you can milk the media attention while I go to court and you had better make an impassioned speech to support my insanity plea about how much I mean to you, Jayce, I am going to be really irritated if I go to prison—"

Jayce slams on the brakes.

The car behind him honks, but Jayce ignores them as he actually turns to look at Viktor, who looks aghast.

"Jayce what the fuck—"

"What the fuck?" Jayce repeats, indignant. "You're spewing all this bullshit at me and you're saying what the fuck? I think I get to fuck, here!"

"Phrasing."

"Shut up."

Viktor's eyes are ablaze, his expression absolutely lit up, flushed.

"Make me." He snaps, and Jayce doesn't even think before he leans across the center console, grabs Viktor by the collar, and kisses him.

It's a really bad kiss for three terrifying seconds where Jayce's nose smashes into Viktor and their mouths don't fit together and Jayce is terrified he's done this all wrong, has finally fucked it up for good, past the point of any hope or fantasy of getting it back, and then Viktor's arms are around his neck and he's pushing himself into Jayce's arms, he's kissing Jayce back, and it clicks into place like something Jayce had been missing his whole life, long before they'd fallen together and fallen apart, like everything Jayce hadn't been willing to admit he needed, and it's perfect.

And then someone behind them absolutely slams on the horn, and there's the sound of a muffled voice yelling—

"Will you save it for the fucking honeymoon and drive?!"

Jayce comes up for air.

"We should—"

"Yes." Viktor agrees, understanding him perfectly, again. "Go."
