#noxian AU

[lichdandy]

From a written AU with a friend where their young Jarvan stays on as a ward in Noxus rather than being returned to Demacia

[nithhaiahh]

From here @poison-n-bones

“Yes and nha.” His headless body let one of his skeleton arm slip through the broken window hole, crawling between the window frame like an insect, looking for the handle.

“And for once ya lookin’ more shit than i normally do!”

She took a breath of air, but even that movement made her tired. It was slow and somewhat painful.

"I feel more tired, I don't know if I look worse or not, I've never been someone who pays attention to her reflection."

Despite that she still smiled at the skeleton, gently taking her sheets between her hands and settling her pillow a little against her back.

"How have you been Acrid? Did you find anything entertaining at the tip of the Bastion? I must admit you were a beautiful Snowdown star."

[noxianwilled]

random thought that refuses to leave me: i don't think kat is good with kids, really, nor interested in them. but little girls people tried to make into weapons and who didn't get enough love, like annie? young girls full of rage against what was done to them, like rell? katarina would take to them so easily. she would want to protect them.

Someone tell me why am I seeing praises for Arcane S2 when they basically threw out Piltover and Zaun class struggle plot for an avengers of ultron rewrite with magic?

- Since when did Viktor become all about evolution or some shit. He's someone from the underground who wants to use technology to help his people, why did he suddenly switch into evil jesus after being submerged in slime?

- What happened to treasuring all characters? Why so many careless and unjust deaths? Isha? Loris? Vander? Jinx? No one wants to see a character who has been sufferring all their lives to die for the "greater good." (Thats not even good)

- Who tf would fuck their situationship after losing their dad the 2nd time, witnessing new adoptive little sister's death, and her blood-sister declaring suicide?? All while still inside the prison cell of said sister???

- That you can be the vilest shit and still get the happiest ending? Yes I'm talking about Singed. Also that you can be the most unproblematic character and still have to live a bleak life. Yes i'm talking about Ekko.

- Ambessa being a blood thirsty war monger like she doesn't give a flying fuck about family? Where is the "Is there anything so undoing as a daughter" moment here??? Why is she suddenly just pure evil??

- Wtv the fuck is going on with Mel

- Sevika my girl stopped speaking after act 1

- Why is Cait acting so inconsistently? One moment she's blinded by rage, then she becomes a dictator, then she get cupcaked and switched sides, also she's immune to death after stabs here and there.

- Why does Jinx have to apologize for killing Cait's mom when Cait's mom probably was calling the shots during the Zaunites massacre that killed Felicia and Connel? No one in power is innocent.

- Why would the Noxians and Singed aid evil Viktor into decimating humanity when it means killing themselves?

- Whats all that shit about breaking the cycle and leaving? Clearly they can live happily because "forgiveness goes a long way" as said by AU Silco and Vander.

- Why is Jayce giving speech as if he didn't just fuck over everyone and why would anyone listen to him???

- Zaunites really is destined to eat Piltover's shit. They got dragged into the magic robot war that Piltover started.

I love every character in season 1 but I guess the writers don't. Honestly still reeling from the fact that we go from complex class issues with two traumatized sisters who just want their family back at the center to magic robot fights between an evil jesus, a homeless man, and a third party threat. The show concluded with killing off characters unjustly, putting in shitty eureka moment quotes that don't make sense, and cramming in 10 subplots.

Arcane S2 *crack*/headcanon/AU/Rambling/whatever

I want a moment where like everyone is fighting (Post get back together of VI and Cait) and the big bads are an out of control Warwick (plus Singed) and Mel's absolute MILF of a mother.

And then there's Jinx on the ground bleeding bad, Vi protecting her fagainst WW, Sevika protecting Vi, Mel protecting Sevika, and so on and so forth (Echo, Jayce, rest of party are keeping back Ambessa and her troops and try to help without losing the line to Piltover and Zaun to the Noxians).

But WW breaks through and you just have Vi and Jinx, and right as WW is about to destroy the two, Caitlyn just appears and starts fighting WW. No gun, just guts.

WW roars, Caitlyn snarls back and even WW is taken aback (along with a few others, Vi is hopelessly in love).

But anyway, WW and Cait are are in a game of cat and mouse as Cait tries not to get eaten.

Vi's gauntlets are broken again, so in desperation she picks up Cait's gun and hesitates.

Cait tells her to shoot and Vi does, and she misses. But like misses in a thousands miles in an impressive feat of failure when Jinx yanks the rifle away and starts blasting.

There's a temporary truce that Mel is the sole person giving everyone a very disappointed look/lecture. (But it's mostly a tentative truce).

Bonus points: Mel tells everyone to take out all their weapons and one by one you see people begrudgingly take them out of their pockets and all sorts of hiding places. Jinx is pulling out more and finally crosses her arms sure she's beaten everyone when Mel stops in front of Cait.

Cait and Mel have a stair down before the younger woman sighs, pulling out at least five handguns and two more rifles and a slew of yordle traps that no one knows where she got them from (Jinx has some begrudging respect after)

[multi-muse-transect]

Here’s an angsty AU for you all: Piltover Jinx who was taken in by Jayce and Viktor when she was Powder resulting in her becoming a well loved inventor and friend of Caitlyn but the timeline brings in Noxian Vi. As in Markus sent Vi to Noxas where Vi was found by Ambessa and Ambessa raised her resulting in Vi being uncomfortable being back.

And also Vi dropping the badass soldier act when she reunites with Powder.

Carol- League of Legends Au

This is just a silly au of a what if scenario, don't take it too serious, I am being just a little Self indulgent.

----

Long time ago in Ionia, Carol was a simple human growing up in the Hizana Monastery and as she started to grow older and show potential, she started to teach some of the students how to make medicine, healing spells and general magic to keep yourself protected and healthy... however even if things were peacefull and she enjoyed her life there, it wouldn't last for long.. she had some visits in other places in Ionia, meeting different people... however she returned right away as the Noxian invasion began and her home was in danger.... with her knowledge and stealth she evacuated as many people as possible outside of the building that some others defended outside... yet in one of her last rescue attemps she was spotted... a Noxian soldier sliced a fatal wound into her chest... leaving her to bleed on the floor...

In this time she heard a spirit called Lotus... one that stayed around the monastery to find a soothing vessel to share with... however for Lotus to save her from dying, she had to give up herself in a way... accepting a fusion with Lotus and so sharing the body with it.

And so she pleaded to the spirit to help her and give her a second chance.... they both fused together but still were very weak, so they went into hiding untill the invasion is over thanks to Lotus camouflage magic...

Once the commotion was over... Carol and Lotus now being one person decided to go by the name of Lotus... discard Carols old life as if she died in the monastery for real... and used the powers of nature to help bring back some life after the destruction... the spirit told her they will keep her alive as long as their purpose is fulfilled however till then she is free to travel and learn more cause it will aid them both.

And so... Lotus the healing flower set out saying goodbye to the people she formerly knew... a more gentle but somewhat lacking of the emotion her former self displayed as she left the Ruins of the Monastery.

--------

Role- Support Mage

Lotus abilities 

E-Healing flowers that heals ally but also enemies and explodes 

W-Invisibility possible Animation with hat with fixed destination without cancel

Q-Attack that brings roots in front of Lotis while it goes underground and lets two trees push the Enemy away with some damage. 

U-Taunt with Explosion as flower Petal luring Champions to you (explosions doesn't do damage but stumps people away)

-------------

Small Funfacts:

-Family wise I feel she had a mom, her dad has fallen in a battle before but her mom also did die on that day of the invasion… hence she now has no strings attached traveling -She still clings to the core believe of inner peace but the Carol side of her still holds a grudge against noxian -She is very much someone who rather hide then engage in a fight head on but she uses her brains and plants to her advantage to trick enemies -the symbol on her arm was painted at first by her students but made a tattoo after her fusion to symbolise her change -The Spirit Blossom version I probably call the Spirit of Identity and it also fits given she gave her up her old identity and is faceless in this universe

-Has met Yasuo and Yone before and nowadays since Yones change often seeks to hope to calm him down

-Is friendly with Taliyah and Sona

-The Veil on her hat is used like a curtain to camouflage her.

How do u see Sylas and sett relationship? Do you have any headcanons with them? Au they could share.

i’m  gonna  preface  that  i’m  mostly  led  on  with  their  classic  variants  being  issued  as  it  was  something  i  was  more  invested  /  experienced  in  when  i  had  role-played  with  a  sylas  .  i  could  also  see  spirit  blossom  sett  /  lunar  wraith  sylas  be  a  thing  as  well  ,  but  it  all  boils  down  to  how  this  interaction  can  ever  possibly  be  made,  right  ?  in  terms  of  head  -  canons  ,  myself  &  my  former  partner  …

had  mutually  agreed  sylas  was  the  type  to  travel  as  a  hardened  former  revolutionary  fighter  ,  seeking  purpose  after  the  events  of  the  whole  mageseeker  arc  .  some  of  his  followers  even  joined  him  on  his  adventures  beyond  the  barriers  of  demacian  control  &  influence  across  valoran  .  ionia  is  a  lone  archipelago  -  a  continent  -  ,  with  no  concept  of  a  government  .  it  is  usually  dictated  by  elderly  council  leaders  depending  on  the  village  ,  clan  ,  tribe  ,  or  what  have  you  .  granted  ,  a  community  can  also  be  ruled  a  chieftain  .  but  ultimately  ,  ionia  has  no  designated  ruler  &  i  would  like  to  think  sylas  sought  refuge  beyond  the  control  of  oppressive  civilizations  .  he  had  lived  years  oppressed  for  his  abilities  ,  dreading  days  behind  bars  &  magic  oppressive  walls  &  chains  .  you  cannot  blame  him  if  he  wants  to  entirely  leave  the  main  region  of  valoran  to  find  his  purpose  again  .  

since  there  is  a  canon  boat  route  &  docking  point  in  ionia’s  placidium  ,  it  wouldn’t  be  out  of  the  possibility  he  would  happen  to  venture  into  navori  ,  right?  &  guess  what  else  is  in  navori  ?  sett’s  pit  ,  right  there  in  the  city  of  qayanvi  .  with  a  boating  port  just  below  it  .  it  wouldn’t  be  beyond  the  possibility  either  to  see  what  all  the  fuss  is  over  this  specific  arena  ;  given  people  all  across  runeterra  come  to  see  shows  or  participate  in  it  .  it’s  among  the  main  sources  of  entertainment  in  navori  .

noxian  inspired  /  invented  &  ionian  cultivated  .  sylas  having  fuel  for  fighting  himself  ,  i  would  imagine  he’d  enjoy  the  concept  of  fighting  in  the  pit  .  even  for  just  a  bit  .  sett  ,  naturally  gaining  interest  in  this  demacian  fighter  ,  since  it’s  mostly  noxians  that  come  into  ionia  .  

(  also  just  the  fact  sett  has  noxian  blood  in  his  system  ,  you  can  just  spot  the  fact  he  is  born  from  a  former  soldier  because  of  purely  his  dark  pigmented  eyes  &  strong  jawline  )  .  

as  for  my  views  on  their  relationship  in  regards  to  their  characters  ,  i  don’t  mind  them  being  rivaled  acquaintances  or  whatnot  .  but  with  good  plotting  &  interaction  ,  romance  is  not  out  of  the  realm  of  possibilities  for  me  .  as  i’ve  stated  in  the  past  ,  i  had  once  role-played  with  a  sylas  writer  &  we  delved  deep  into  their  relations  to  the  point  they  became  lovers  within  classic  constraints  .

[bells-of-black-sunday]

I think I should talk about how I'm going to write Vastaya moving forward, because Riot wrote some pretty gross bordering on racist stereotypes of native peoples into them whether it was intentional or not and I'm personally not comfortable writing them that way. So:

There were no treaties, it was an understanding that messing with the magic of Runeterra would have disastrous consequences and vastaya relying on magic to survive means the hoarding of magic after the Noxian invasion makes tension between vastaya and humans at an all time high. Not only due to usual disagreements about the war and Noxian's still being on their shore, but also how they're protecting themselves. This new tension has strained the relationship between humans and vastaya emboldening extremist groups ability to hoard the magic they are while also emboldening young vastaya to try and get it back.

Vastaya with animal features rely on some sort of magical connection to survive and maintain their forms. Vastaya who shape-shift may not need that magical connection to survive, but they need it to change their form.

Fox vastaya do exist outside of one tribe and A.hri while still being the last of her tribe isn't the last fox. They all have one tail instead of nine and their magic is focused around trickery making them have a higher ability to change their appearance and hold it for longer compared to their counterparts. Due to strains between humans and vastaya over the hoarding of magic that they need to survive and maintain their forms, these vastayan tribes have become more reclusive and some even hostile.

It's not that different, but it is a lot more comfortable for me as a writer, I'm not going to write anything specific about certain vastaya just because I'm not here to force my headcannons on anyone and I don't really write any cannonical vastayan characters. Just how I'm going to write vastaya for S.armenti's league au.

[aychama]

I have to ask since you're a fan of Arcane; what if there's a crossover between your AU and Arcane? Would Lambert be from Zaun , Piltover, or from a different region, and would the Bishops be Councillors or would they be the Chembarons instead? 👀

Oh the bishops would be piltover councillors for sure (if we are going by my royal au, if not then chembarons would suit them more) and yea Lambert would be from Zaun.

Ooh man but I can totally see Shamura being a Noxian.

Heket would be from Shurima.

Kallamar from Bildgewater.

Leshy from Ionia or Ixtal!

And throwing Narinder into the Shadow Isles cuz why not.

[mxchineherald]

ooc :: Thinking about my fix it au, and how the Noxians would have killed commune member after commune member until Viktor couldn't take the strain anymore and gave himself over willingly to stop the bloodshed. (Vander still killed Rictus, and Viktor experienced it through his eyes as it happened. Vander was then stopped from further attacking by Viktor's mental command.)

I've still got details to work out beyond that but I'm imagining Viktor resisting Singed's transformative treatments, and later being tortured by Ambessa with those magic nullifying charms Rictus had. They would feel like silver to a vampire - burning, blinding pain on contact. When they're used on him, they temporarily sever him from the Arcane, forcing Sky and him apart during those moments.

He's almost too weak to stop the change when Jayce, Cait, Jinx, and Vi manage to get to him(mental image of Vi shattering the glass containment cube Viktor is being held in like she did the shimmer vat), but they all regroup and take the fight to the Noxians. Viktor, meanwhile, uses his power to evolve one last life before leaves the lab: Orianna.

He does this for Singed, in hopes that it will end his tormenting goal of attaining immortality. He has faith in the doctor's humanity, possibly misplaced. He tells Singed to leave Piltover and Zaun with her, knowing the Ethos bans her existence. It's his (and Sky's) little secret.

Y͒a͒n͒d͒e͒r͒e͒! Sett x Neutral reader

Yandere character: Sett

Anime/manga/video game: League of Legends

Part: 1 of 2

Finished?: Yes

Clarification: Au of academy

('･ω･')('･ω･')('･ω･')('･ω･')('･ω･')

With each step I took, my grip on my books increased due to the fear of seeing it again. Every time the people around me looked at me with fear and pity, I knew something was wrong.

Everyone knew it, from the beginning they knew it. That boy, that person who was known for his use of violence and insults to him, someone who was the kind of people you detested from the bottom of your heart was… interested in someone.

When I saw him, I could feel the pride and hate he could emit just by looking at anyone, and whenever I talked to my best friend about it, we both came to the same conclusion; it wasn't good to run into him.

And now, God knows if it was on purpose or by accident, but the whole school found out that Sett, one of the most feared vastaya in the Academy, was madly in love ---Obsessed--- with me, more than once I found him following me and Talon around the Academy, which was so damn awkward for both of us that we decided to stop being apart of the group and go to social circles just so we wouldn't feel persecuted by that idiot.

---Did you forget your math work again? ---Talon asked me, as we both walked through the halls.

---No, I didn't sleep at all last night, so I decided to catch up on homework ---I answered, running one of my hands over my right eye.

He was silent for a few seconds, before we heard someone behind us let out a soft, discreet laugh.

---Apparently Sett has you bad ---Ezreal teased, patting my shoulder.

---Shut up, moron ---I answered jokingly, looking at the blonde.

---I'm sorry, I'm sorry (Name), but you know that normally everyone in this school knows how Sett is with you ---Ezreal continued joking, before giving you your personal space.

--- Aha, as if he doesn't want to hit me every time he sees me --- he teased softly.

It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to know that Ionians hate Noxians, or basically most of the world hates Noxus in general, and the fact that Sett lives on insulting his Noxian father just further reinforces the idea that this whole facade that he's in love with me falls apart.

Both Ezreal and other close friends helped me a lot to adapt to this place, I was surprised at the ease with which both Talon and I became close to him, but I wouldn't question the idea of why someone as social as him would talk to us either. .

But hey, I guess I'm just rambling…

--- And then Garen threatened to cut me in half if he did something bad to Lux, although I don't understand why he tells me that… --- Ezreal explained, before hearing how the doorbell sounds.

The noise marked the start of the first hour of school, in this case Ezreal would go to his Chemistry class and Talon and I to our philosophy class.

The blonde said goodbye to us, going straight to God knows where. While my best friend and I were leaving for class.

---I like to think that all this is a very bad joke, and you? ---I admitted, letting out a heavy sigh.

Talon hummed a "hm", not further speaking.

As talkative as a North Korean soldier.

---But well, I'd like to know why… ---That's when I found myself having to cut my sentence in half because Talon started talking.

---Don't trust Sett too much.

I looked at him confused, before letting out a soft laugh, as a joke.

---Don't tell me, Tal ---I joke, getting closer to him ---The man who has been following and harassing us for 1 month is someone to be wary of, who would have thought!

After joking, I could see Talon stop walking abruptly; apparently, we were already in front of our living room.

He grabbed my shoulder roughly, forcing me to look him in the eye.

--- The next time you find him alone, run --- He advises me, or maybe he orders me --- There's something about that guy that I don't fucking like.

I look at him, this time changing my tone to a serious one.

---Yes, I'll be careful, Talon ---Kindly accept ---Although I don't know, I don't think it's that bad…

Talon lets go of me, before cupping her face in one of his hands, letting out a heavy sigh, as if he's frustrated or disappointed.

--- I know Sett has something weird behind his whole façade… try to keep yourself safe, okay? --- He advises me again, and this time I do believe that he cared about me.

I smile at him, before gently taking his shoulder.

---I promise, Tal ---I told him, smiling ---This time I will keep my word.

He smiles slightly at me, so I guess he's calmer now.

--- Good thing you said "this time yes" --- he mentions as a mockery, before going to the living room.

I went after him, laughing and saying whatever, obviously before get scolded for being late to class.

Extra (If this first part was not short)

A young man with reddish hair was walking calmly through the school, he himself was accompanied by a pale-skinned boy, who was confused about why Sett had summoned him to talk alone.

The young Lunari looked at Sett, intrigued as to why someone lively and outgoing like him was so quiet now, almost angry at that moment.

The moment Sett stops his walk, without moving, he presses his fingers on the palm of his hand, to the point that it was seen that he was tempted to break the bricks of the wall.

Without the young Lunari expecting it, Sett barely turns around to see him out of the corner of his eye.

---Hey ---Sett calls him, with a hoarse voice and with a certain tone of anger in his intonation.

Before Aphelios can answer or say anything, Sett frowns, showing anger at the idea of asking someone like him for help.

---Do you know where I can meet Talon?

The opposite of him remains silent, surprised by the vastaya's request. Anyone who knows a little about Sett knows that if he wants to meet anyone as he gives rise to, or even worse, a Noxian, it doesn't mean anything good.

---Or with Ezreal? You get together a lot with the two of them, don't you?

Aphelios steps back, even more scared.

—Or both, I'm not interested separately or together, I need to know what time and place I can meet either of them.

The young Lunari, out of nervousness begins to speak in sign language.

---Why are you supposed to want to know? ---When he finished speaking, Aphelios remembered something important: Sett didn't know sign language.

---That shit is none of your business, kid, now tell me.

Aphelios opens his eyelids to the fullest part of him, since when did Sett know something like..?

The vastaya approaches him, taking him by the neck.

—I want you to have one thing clear, Aphelios; From now on, both you and those two idiots are going to be away from ME (Name), are you clear?

Aphelios has no choice but to nod, not because of the fear of what could happen to him now, but because of how Sett would be if he confronted or tried to fight.

Perhaps in another context, he would have challenged him, but now he didn't have much of a chance of winning, he had no weapons, and no one to see them in one of the hallways that almost no one knows about the school, and Sett seemed quite ready to kill them. the first thing on your way.

[becasbelt]

All That Glitters

Summary: Two things were starting to become perfectly clear to Caitlyn: one, Vi was desperate for money, and two, she had no intentions of telling Caitlyn why.

Or, part 2 of my pirate au where Vi wants treasure, Caitlyn only wants to help, and Marcus is on the hunt for both of them.

Words: 12.3k

Rating: T

Notes: part 2 of my pirate au! Treasure, shenanigans, and gayness galore!

In hindsight, perhaps breaking into a magistrate’s office in broad daylight wasn’t Vi brightest idea.

The Noxian soldiers chasing them are hot on their heels, all of them big and ugly and incredibly willing – no, eager – to send a sword through their gut. Vi risks a glance back and makes eye contact with one particularly brutish man, the glare on his square face deepening as he catches her looking.

Vi quickly looks forward again and forces herself to run faster.

“Powder,” she calls out. “I am going to kill your girlfriend!”

“It’s not her fault she got the times wrong!” Powder gasps out to her left. “She said her source was trustworthy!”

Vi leans to the left just as a knife whizzes past her head, barely nicking her ear. “Well obviously she was wrong!”

Arcane S2 headcanon/AU/*crack*/idea/ ramblings/whatever

So Isha get's separated from Sevika and Jinx, ultimately they panic because they did get attached to the kid even though neither wanted to, but no one can find her. Not even the enforcers who are now temporary allies with the people of Zaun against Noxian take over.

Jinx sets out to find Vi to ask for help, it just confirms that Powder is still there, or at least fragments of her still are.

Now Ambessa is also losing her mind because Mel has also gone missing, she's tearing everything to the ground to find her be it Piltover or Zaun.

Truly nothing is as undoing as a daughter.

Anyway, Jinx, Vi, and Sevika are making the rounds having skirmishes with Noxians as they try to find the kid, the enforcers are helping to hide the civilians in the inner parts of the cities, the fireflies are stabilizing the panic and cohesiveness as much as they can.

They get a tip that Caitlyn and her strike team were ambushed after getting a good chunk of the population of the cities out into the wilds away from the fighting, and that a Zaun kid was seen with them. But before they make it there Singed let's loose his newest experiment.

Trauma ensues of course, but they're able to escape and take a longer path. It's then that they run into half of the strike squad, or what's left of it.

Caitlyn and Isha weren't with them, Ambessa and her soldiers are now fighting the combined power of Jinx's revolutionaries, the enforcers, and even normal civilians. Along with strange new individuals (LeBlanc really be playing 5d chess with everyone).

There's familiar roaring and then a cry from a child. It's not hard to follow the blood trail or the sound of gunfire.

They hear "Run! I said run!" followed by cursing and then a pained cry, it's one Vi won't ever forget. There's one last howl of pain, a shot, and thundering footsteps before the area becomes completely silent.

Amongst the carnage is a curled body, ripped and bloody and burrowed into the ground and wall face. Vi doesn't see anything but blue and red.

Vi has fallen to her knees. A familiar rifle broken to pieces, sharing the same crest that was on the crumpled cape.

Sevika kneels, an actual apology comes from the woman, Vi doesn't know if she should punch the woman or cry, but the whimpers stops either.

Vi rolls Caitlyn into her lap, the cape in the woman's hands shakes. Jinx rips off the bundled material to finds Isha clinging to Caitlyn.

There's a few cuts, but all the blood was Caitlyn's and there isn't anything life threatening for the kid, the one who breaks into sobs and flings herself at Jinx and Sevika.

Vi doesn't listen in to the trio, instead she listens, hears the faint shallow breathing of the woman in her arms.

"You look like shit" Caitlyn says, small smile on her face.

Vi blinks, vison blurry, "Yeah" she cokes out a laugh, "you should see yourself cupcake"

Vi can only watch as the blood loss saps at the woman's warmth. So she does the only thing she can. She pleads.

Pleads and begs for Caitlyn not to go, to stay here with her. Even if they still aren't on the best of terms to just stay. To not go.

Vi asks her to promise, and like before Caitlyn says she won't. And she doesn't know if it's another broken promise, or if it was a refusal. She'll never know.

When Jinx steps close, Vi brings Caitlyn in closer, her faint paint protests falling on deaf ears.

"Don't touch her" Vi snarls, halting the next step Jinx had started to take. Jinx looks down at her and then the woman in her arms.

"Thank you" Jinx says, it's not to Vi. She bends, a tube of familiar looking liquid shines inside.

"It's not enough to heal her, but she shouldn't feel much pain"

When Vi doesn't take it, Jinx places it down next to her. "See you in the next life"

Vi stares at the vial in one hand, eyes pleading. But Cait turns away deeper into her shoulder.

"No" The protest is weak, the woman's eyes closing for longer each time.

Vi bites the inside of her cheek, "Okay...okay" She wants to protest, to scream.

She cries.

She cups the cheek of the woman she loves and watches as the light that burns in those deep blue eyes fade away till not even the embers could be seen.

(add some deus ex machina shit with Ekko learning his chronobreak or something to get get Cait and some other's back before they head towards the final battle; alternatively maybe everyone dies)
