Number 1, arranged marriages are my OBESSESSION. So the moment you spoke of this, plus it being a regency AU? I nearly spit my tea out at how amazing of an idea this would be. Taking someone awkward and shy like Viktor, but is so good at hiding it that he appears aloof and curt? It was amazing from the start! I love the detail you put into Viktor being so nervous during his wedding. It making me wonder if he had expected to marry some basic looking woman, someone he could easily ignore…only see her walk down the aisle and just be smitten. “Oh no, she’s hot!”

I completely get why he would deny her to dance when they aren’t comfortable with each other yet. He doesn’t know if she will ridicule him or not. But that just being something they can get closer with later. The term that caught my attention so perfectly and so heartbreakingly was how he said that he was ‘not much use’ when it came to dancing. Like the main reason he won’t dance with her is his own shame, knowing she won’t be able to truly dance with him because of his body.

I love/hate the idea of after the parents passing, with Viktor needing to take care of the property. Him being a disaster when it came to make decisions on something he had never been trained to know how to do. With men tending to have businesses and many outside the house obligations, it was common for the woman of the house to become almost the manager of the estate. Which meant, women taught other women how to do that role. Viktor was probably floundering, not knowing what on earth to do when asked questions like what type of fertilizer the gardens should have. I am seriously excited to see how she makes the place come back to life, getting the garden back to it’s former glory.

And then the ending? Imagine him having fallen asleep in his study or going to his own room…him not even aware that she had dressed special for him?

DAMN IT! I love this so much, seriously, so fucking much!

IMAGINE if captchas existed in piltover and MH!Viktor couldn’t read them

How long do you think it would take to turn into this?

Not So Terrible

A belated Viktor Secret Santa gift for @xxnelli -- sorry it’s late, travel and a bout of sickness ate up a lot of time. Posting from my Viktor sideblog to keep things silo’d but my main blog is @literary-potat0.

@therealtendercrisps

Viktor hated parties. Or at least, he hated Piltover parties. The few he’d been to.

It was if they had been designed to torment him. The small talk that wasn’t just small talk, spoken in some topside dialect he never learned growing up. The small talk that was just small talk, always peppered with allusions to luxuries and experiences he hadn’t even known existed until he started at the Academy. The food that was meant to be seen and not eaten, always served in absurd, teeny-tiny portions so small you could barely feel them in your mouth, made with ridiculous ingredients like gold leaf that didn’t taste like anything, washed down with beverages he could only assume were fashionable because they tasted so bitter.

The clothes… he actually didn’t mind the clothes. Those he understood, his assessment of them inflected with tidbits of knowledge he’d picked up from his mother’s tailoring. The fabric had some weight to it, and someone had put a lot of care into the seams. It wouldn’t fall apart the first time someone washed it. Still he dreaded what he would find when he opened the box Jayce had delivered to his flat. These clothes weren’t often made for bodies like his, bodies partially clad in metal that changed the way the fabric fell or created extra friction that wore through too quickly. He grimaced as he lifted the lid, preparing himself for a night of misery in uncomfortable clothing.

——————

His mental preparation proved unnecessary. The clothes fit perfectly — cleverly cut to accommodate his back brace and leg brace without being baggy — and he liked the colors. And the food was good — no, not good, excellent — in portions that didn’t leave him starving by the end of the night.

And the drinks…

He hadn’t ever tried sweetmilk that had alcohol in it before, but it was an inspired idea.

He stumbled a little — not in the flinching, painful way he did when his joints ached or his muscles spasmed, but in a warm, loose way, his movements just a little bit broader than they needed to be.

Jayce reached out a supporting arm.

“See?” he said. “That wasn’t so bad.”

Viktor rolled his eyes. “How many strings did you have to pull to get decent food?” he asked.

“Me? I didn’t pull anything?”

Viktor shot him a dubious look.

Jayce deflated a little. “I asked Mel to pull them for me.”

“Ah. You must have asked very nicely,” he said. “She usually leaves her golden fingerprints all over these endeavors.”

Viktor realized immediately upon seeing Jayce’s slightly wounded look that he’d phrased that poorly.

“Apologies,” he said, “I didn’t mean… What I meant was, I appreciate that she was willing to put this together like you asked, even if it wasn’t how she usually does things. And the fact that you asked.”

Jayce shrugged like it was no big deal. “Of course. Thanks for coming along. It’s a hell of a lot easier to survive the schmoozing and small talk knowing I complain to you about it when I’m done.”

Viktor laughed — a movement which caused him to stumble. His laugh turned into a slight cough.

Jayce clapped him on the back firmly, and waited to keep going until the cough subsided. Even when it had, his arm stayed around Viktor’s shoulders… though from the way he was wobbling, it might have been for his own benefit as much as Viktor’s.

He surveyed Jayce out of the corner of his eye as they drew close to his apartment. “Are you going to throw up this time?” he asked, teasing lightly.

“No, I’m good.” Jayce hiccuped. “Might need to crash on your couch though.”

“Fair enough.”

Does Viktor actually dislike Mel at all or is that just pure fanon? Everything I’ve seen in the show makes me think he has a purely neutral opinion on her, maybe even respectful.

tendercrispstan

He gets pretty visibly and vocally angry at her when she suggests using their talents for weapons, in a way he doesn’t when Jayce considers the suggestion.

He’s mad at Jayce! But you can tell it’s “What the hell I respect you and expect better of you” mad, and the same feeling isn’t obvious when he’s reacting to Mel.

Now that COULD be because Mel suggested it whereas Jayce only considered it, so he’s proportionately more angry regardless of who it is.

But you could also read the situation as a boiling over point between two people who are civil (they must have met and interacted before), but not at all affectionate, and whose backgrounds & priorities (a wealthy, not visibly disabled politician who wants to safety and prosperity for Piltover vs. a disabled man who grew up in poverty who wants to help the undercity, who is literally dying from an illness caused by hazardous environmental byproducts of the topsiders’ consumption), and the text doesn’t provide anything to contradict that narrative.

I think it’s a little far fetched to suggest that they hate each other — Mel certainly doesn’t seem to know much of Viktor or think about him, since she’s surprised by how hard his illness hits Jayce and says she didn’t know they were close. But there’s no indication that Viktor especially likes her, and there’s evidence to suggest he doesn’t.

y2kbugs-moved

Thank you for the addition! So this along with other reblogs I’ve read it seems like he probably doesn’t see her in the best light, or they don’t care enough about each other, but I do think some fanfiction does exaggerate it, which is a peeve of mine.

tendercrispstan

Yeah I think some of that is standard fandom caricature-characterization. (Caricaturization?)

I think there is also an element of fandom that (intentionally or not) sees her as interfering with the JayVik ship, wants to find narrative reasons to break them up, and therefore emphasizes her bad qualities and the other characters’ dislike of her (unfortunately not uncommon in M/M ships, especially if the woman “in the way” happens to not be white)

BUT the idea that Viktor and Mel aren’t buddies is valid and supported by the show, the jealousy interpretation also fits what we see, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with fic that frames one of the protagonists as a villain to explore the space

There’s also some indication he’s not a big fan of her when they first interact breaking into the lab. You could read this as shippy (he’s jealous because Jayce is clearly swooning for this woman), or political (he senses that she’s using them for gain rather than actual interest in scientific progress), or both. But he doesn’t seem super fond of her despite the fact that she just saved his and Jayce’s asses

Viktor ✨

who’s still taking Viktor fic requests these days?

because I desperately need a fic that’s like the Idiots to Lovers “oh no one of us accidentally took an aphrodisiac” thing except Feelings and Smooching and Tender Dramatic Proclamations instead of horniness and I do not have the chops to write that kind of romance T_T

Viktor and Mel are thick as thieves off screen

Ambessa is actually a sweetheart off screen

Ambessa and Mel worked together before years ago in a Royal Shakespeare Company show, they’re overjoyed to be working together again

Silco spends a ridiculous amount of time in Makeup to get the scars and the eye, he’s a good sport about it

Viktor has to spend a lot of time in there the weeks they’re shooting scenes with his augmented leg, foot, or hand. He’s more fidgety.

Jayce is super interested in the practical effects. He badgers the FX team with questions about how everything works.

Singed was going to be more visibly scarred in some shots but he had a bad reaction to the prosthetics and adhesives, so they reworked the shots to imply his extensive injuries rather than show them.

This is Child Viktor’s first screen role
