Lin, (looking at the Krew): Your existence is confusing to me. Korra: How so? Lin: I find the presence of all of you annoying, but the thought of anything bad happening to any of you, greatly upsets me.

President Raiko: Well that was disappointing, I was really hoping that Suyin Beifong would offer her support to the Earth Kingdom.

Tenzin: I know, but we do have another option. It will be a slim chance, but there is another Beifong we could ask, one with leadership experience and a great devotion to the people...

[The next day]

Tenzin: good morning Lin, you're looking well.

Lin: I haven't slept in 48 hours and I'm ready to kill a man.

Tenzin: I'm sorry to hear that. But you know Lin, they say that a change is as good as a rest, and we have an amazing opportunity for you to really make a difference in the world. How would you feel about leading a relief effort to stabilise Ba Sing Se, and act as an interim governor for just a few short years while we get the succession sorted out?

Lin: ...

Lin: ...

Tenzin: ...We'll see ourselves out...

I can't wait for Arcane season 2 so I can figure out how to start writing my highly improbable, non-canon, fluffy-as-hell Machine Herald Viktor/Sky fanfic. I'm just giddy with the possibilities:

. Sky helping Viktor develop machine parts.

. Viktor providing Sky with plenty of space and resources in his secret hideout for her botany experiments.

. Sky nursing Viktor's wounds and helping to take off his damaged armour after another close battle with Jayce.

. Viktor trying to keep Sky safe even when she's in danger of becoming collateral damage when the other champions come knocking.

. And the icing on the cake: Sky being the only one Viktor allows to see his uncovered face (let alone kiss it) after adopting his Machine Herald persona.

At first I didn't understand why Mel was suprised that Jayce and Viktor were so close when Jayce breaks down about his partner dying, but then I remembered she has to deal with the other councillors for a living and I was like, yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense.

[woollywanderer]

Me: Arcane is an amazing show; so much tragedy and so many unexpected characters deaths. The writing is truly something else, I love it.

Also me: writing Arcane fan fiction where my favourite characters live happily ever after and no-one dies horribly.

Average fan telling people why they like Arcane: writes a beautifully thought out 3000 word essay on why season one is one of the greatest accomplishments in television in the 21st century.

Me telling people why I like Arcane: lesbians good; dying man sexy.

A sad thing I just realised about Sky's demise - aside from the obvious - is that it's basically a cruel perversion of her deepest desires, i.e. her attraction to Viktor.

Under very different circumstances it would be a dream come true for Sky to be holding tight to a mostly naked Viktor, screaming his name and experiencing a more euphemistic petit mort than literal death.

Although we don't really get to know enough about Sky to confirm if her romantic interest in Viktor had a sexual element to it, I'm willing to believe it does as Sky's rejection by Viktor directly contrasts with Mel's more successful seduction of Jayce.

Plus, there's the whole sex vs. death motif within Sky/Viktor and Jayce/Mel's relationships, to the point where the plot actually seems to be punishing the pairing that doesn't follow through. Viktor doesn't have sex: he collapses alone in front of the hexcore and finds out the next day that his condition is now terminal. Sky doesn't have sex: she painfully disintegrates trying to save the man she loves, deeply traumatising him in the process.

Now, I'm not saying that if they both slept together that Sky somehow wouldn't have been doomed by the narrative, but as a Sky/Viktor shipper I'm also not not saying that...

how has there not been any frankenstein viktor fics?

whether it be him being the 'monster' created by reader (or whoever), or vice versa (viktor being the creator of the monster)

like, it could be him re-animating his lost lover, or just making himself someone, or just doing it because he can

if it's an x reader, you could've died in the explosion set off by jinx at the end of s1 in the tower, and he helped recover you (or vice versa)

the angst would be phenomenal in this, i think at least.

obv some of his hextech can be involved in him re-animating/fixing said person/reader, or vice versa (i apologize for saying 'vice versa' so much)

i am debating on trying my hand at viktor x reader...

edit: i am slowly planning out this fic 😳

Heimerdinger: I could do with the boys having a regular voice of reason around to avoid any future antics. It's like they have a death wish sometimes. I know, I'll hire them an assistant; that Sky Young seems like the sensible type, we'll get her involved.

*A week later*

Heimerdinger: So Sky, how are you getting on with Jayce and Viktor. They've not been doing any dangerous experiments recently, have they?

Sky (dreamily): Viktor's a genius, he can do whatever he wants...

Heimerdinger: I may have made a mistake here.

[woollywanderer]

I feel like Jayce - with no sense of irony - has definitely gifted Viktor and Sky those Progress Day mugs with his face on them.

[girlbossmel]

Fun fact-it’s entirely possible to love both Mel/Jayce and Sky/Viktor without putting either of them down!

[skyvik-rights]

If only Sky had gone to the lab like, 5 minutes later. We wouldn’t be here right now.

[woollywanderer]

Or 5 minutes before. That way, you get more of a comedic/awkward situation where Viktor has to explain why he's sitting in front of the hexcore in his underpants without making it sound like a sex thing.
