Empyrean
Worlds Championship, the battleground for the elite, the Colloseum of the Gods. And they aren't Gods, far from it.
But maybe, that's okay. They're Sanghyeok, Minseok, Minhyeong, Hyeonjoon, and Wooje. Maybe, that's enough.
That's all they need.
I did so much "research" for this 😵 I even watched the Guma documentary (aka finally read the transcript, because I can't watch things for the life of me)
And I am a bit proud of the theme of it, so even if it's definitely late for it (2.5 months since Worlds Finals oop), I wanted to yeet it into the void ^^
Probably forgetting to mention something, but for now, I shall sleep

Istg I'll finish this today... It's just taken me a while because I committed myself to get all five of them, and while Keria-Oner took me like no time at all, Faker-Zeus are being a pain to write

I JINXED IT
Okay but also that's fair he probably wanted something girlypop and I respect that, it's harder to make Bard dance to nwjns
It's fine I have a backup plan, it's just gonna be awkward for a bit lmao (it's gonna be obvious I didn't think he was going for renata)
I'm calling it
When the T1 skins come out, the boys have to run it down tgt on stream to try them out
And then Keria asks Faker to play Ahri instead because he's still sulky abt not getting Lux, so Faker goes T1 Bard and hard-ints Guma's lane
#t1#keria why#he deleted the insta story and posted 'hm' WHAT DO U MEAN#LOL HE CHANGED TO BARD AGAIN

I absolutely love the new au.
Can i just have a little question about it and is it gonna be as angsty as arcane canon (please no unless it's angst with happy ending 😭) or is it gonna be just victor! sanghyeok seeing the kids and being like hmmm these look like my kids and go on a adoption speed run and age dramatically from the stress of saving the dramatic hyperactive superhero kids 😭
Also i love the characters chosen for the kiddos i do want keria's ekko support in pro play someday, though before that I'd love his ahri support please 😂
Love your writing and looking forward to more of it! 💜💜💜💜
Glad you enjoy it :D
Abt your question, it's definitely not going to follow the footsteps of Arcane Canon (that season 1 ending still hurts me to think about :')) there's gonna be some angsty parts, but it's mostly like what you describe: Faker and his demonlings :P
And big same- I can see them baiting Ahri mid only to switch support last minute, and him using Faker's skin once it comes out :3 (also wanna see him play Zoe! C'mon Keria we know you can do it)
Thanks for the compliments and encouragement! (Hopefully it doesn't take me to long ^^')

Like Clockwork
"These kids are idiots, and someone's gotta look after them. If that someone happens to be me… occupational hazards."
–Faker, 27, stressed parent trying to keep his disaster children safe
Aka the AU I jokingly refer to as "Adoption Speedrun", because my favorite dynamic in T1 is Faker and his children^tm
Idk how my fics just get less and less plot the longer I go... This one just has some main plot points (Faker's arc), the rest is pure superhero story tropes, prompts and vibes, so that's gonna be interesting—

Worlds thoughts 2 weeks later
I still get a boost in my mood whenever I think about how this roster won Worlds, and the kids got their first international title ㅠㅠ ♡ happiness looks so good on them
Though, yeaaa, the JDG series was better... Don't get me wrong I'll take that easy victory, but ??? Like both teams made so many good plays in the semi-finals, and then there's Weibo (am very aware the only reason I can say this is because they won : D)
Ngl, I've been rewatching all of the clips from Finals too many times, like these kids jumping in excitement... Also, tell me why top-duo took their sweet time putting on their jackets before celebrating, like bros, this isn't spring r2 Y'ALL JUST WON WORLDS—
At least bot-duo is doing it right! Their hug was so cute... I could write an essay actually, about all the parallels between this and Keria's hugs in Finals 2022 after g3 with Guma, and then after g5 with Deft and Pyosik...
Also, their victory healed all my T1-related cope faster than Zeus on lethality Aatrox landing his Q. It's incredible—like I knew I was coping hard. But it's such a revelation to just not?? cope anymore?? Like woah, I can see the Image^tm or the hug with Deft or watch the Gods MV without instantly taking half HP in pure emotional damage—
Also, I can now think about Deft and Keria without dissolving like cotton candy washed by a raccoon, which means a year's worth of thoughts about them just came back to me like a Tsunami, so:
Here's a tidbit featuring their 2020 hair look (note: this is not canon-accurate, IIRC Deft went blond after Keria went white, but shh), just to encourage myself to actually WRITE THE REST OF IT

And All the Patience of Stars
Chapter 1 posted!
I don't really know how to summarize this chapter except them fighting more dragons and Zeus going K'Sante for a bit.
What almost ended up happening because Guma and Zeus are not permanent owners of the T1 braincell:
“Do you have the keys?” He asks Zeus.
“I thought you had them?” Zeus asks right back.
“Uh.”
[Elevator music playing as they go back downstairs to get said keys]
Next chapter however, could be summarized as "T1's quest for AP, level 6, summoner spells and cooldown reduction"
Anyway, my title for this last part completes my expansion on the lyrics of my main inspiration for this series: Saturn by Sleeping At Last. It was my coping song after 2022 Worlds Finals, and it had a lot of influence on PotE, which was almost just titled "The Courage of Stars"

All the Courage of a Satellite
Chapter 3 and chapter 4 have been posted (and updated, in the time it took me to make this post lol—)
With these done, it means the third and final part is coming in hot! Though I'll wait until Finals before starting it, so yaknow, I don't curse it (tho so far my plot points have been surprisingly accurate, so, hopium)
Anyway with these 2 out of the way, here are some details you might've missed:
Guma borrowing Faker's "throwing knives" is him getting Xayah feathers! This was hinted at in the first chapter of this series
Faker tells Keria: "You're... whatever you are." So, what is he referring to? The truth is I still have no clue lmao (there's a bit of Soraka, a lot of Targon lore, but it's all wishy-washy cus Deft is in his backstory)
They're all more powerful when their ascending conditions are met: Faker -> ? (TBA), Keria -> Clear nights, Guma -> Sunny day/sunrise, Oner -> Full moon, Zeus -> Thunderstorm
Anyway if T1 wins this weekend I'll post not only the next part for this, but also another AU that I have saved as "Adoption speedrun"

So the thing about T1 games, is that I can't control my nerves at all when I know there's a match
Which means I am currently awake at 5am and like, *violently* trembling, and from experience, will keep shaking until it's over. Not fun... (Edit: extra blanket helps)
I love those boys, but my heart is bursting at the seams a bit (a lot)

also here are the quiz descriptions for the OTHER uquiz except some of them are written from the perspective of some random reporter with access to google
Showmaker
Showmaker is simultaneously one of the biggest threats to international security and the most carefree, fun-loving person you will ever meet. Being both a skilled Summoner and an artificer, Showmaker crafts each of his cards by hand. When asked what his championship wish was, he simply replies, "I wished for more wishes!" The truthfulness of this statement is unknown.
Canyon
Widely renowned as one of the best Summoners in the world, Canyon is a force to be reckoned with as he shifts between beast and human as fluidly as water—water he now controls after conquering the Rift. His enchanted spear is the result of his and Showmaker's combined efforts after their embarrassing loss to G2 in 2019.
Scout
After living in the shadow of superstar Summoner Faker as his substitute, Scout managed to conquer the Rift in 2022 with EDG. He fights by draining energy from his enemies and converting it into magical bolts that do massive damage. Rumor has it that he never sleeps.
Meiko
Loyal and determined, Meiko serves as the support for EDG. He possesses the ability to heal people through physical contact with them, and can also induce happiness, energy and good dreams. Meiko is often referred to as the perfect support by his teammates, both in and out of battle.
Jiejie
At only twenty years old, Jiejie did what was thought to be near impossible: he defeated Canyon at the peak of Summoner's Rift using nothing but his blade and black mist. Sarcastic to the very end, he takes very few things seriously, except for his role as EDG's jungler. He is often referred to as the Third Prince of EDG.
Viper
Calm and collected, Viper serves as the marksman, or ADC, for EDG. He is often thought to be the strongest ADC in the world. Wielding five guns of moonlight as well as an inexplicable darkness, Viper strikes fast and hard, leaving his opponents no time to recover.
Teddy
Don't let his name fool you—Teddy is far from a pushover. A master of acrobatics and stealth magic, Teddy uses his crossbow to dispatch enemies with ease. He acts playfully for the most part, but never fails to be serious when the situation demands it.
Bjergsen
Bjergsen's years-long career came to a sudden halt in 2020, when a tragic accident resulted in the disappearance and presumed death of him and two of his teammates. However, it didn't take long for the star mid laner to literally turn back time, bringing himself back to life with the help of his enchanted pocket watch. Bjergsen: 1, Death: 0.
Spica
One of the only two surviving members of TSM 2020, Spica was the only one to remain with the team for next year. His control over shadows and mastery of the scythe help him to be one of the best junglers in all of North America, all without winning a single battle internationally.
Doublelift
The veteran Summoner known as Doublelift is the only member of TSM 2020 still missing as of 2022. His gun, which he designed and built himself, serves as an inspiration to a new generation of Summoners and rests at the foot of his monument in Los Angeles. At the feet of his statue lies an engraving of his most famous quote: "Everyone else is trash."
Keria
Although he's rather short and clumsy outside of battle, Keria is a force to be reckoned with. He is one of the few people in the world capable of adapting mostly defensive water magic to be able to heal. Many people consider him to be the best support in the world.
Gumayusi
With his support Keria at his side, there's (almost) nothing that Gumayusi can't do. His confidence is legendary in every region along with his sheer skill. Wielding a gun similar to Doublelift's, Gumayusi uses nets, traps and his near-perfect aim to secure a victory for his team.
Jojopyun
Jojopyun is the youngest Summoner to ever be crowned as a champion of North America at only 17 years old. He discovered his powers while streaming Fortnite on Twitch, accidentally cloning himself. Within 24 hours, he became an internet celebrity and was picked up by Evil Geniuses not long after that.
Danny
Danny is often regarded as one of the most promising talents North America has to offer. He carries a powerful secret: he is one of the first Summoners with his special brand of lightning magic, which he hopes to conceal from the world in order to have an advantage when he's ready to conquer it.
Ghost
It took him years of hard work and countless failures before he reached the top of the Summoner's Rift and achieved his dream. Ghost hides his face behind a mask and rarely speaks out loud, preferring to use his magic when possible. Although he seems incredibly cold, his teammates insist that he's a very different person when the mask is off.
Razork
With the power to summon both ice and lightning, Razork balances both to create a unique fighting style. He's full of energy and always has a joke or two at the ready no matter the situation. Although he's one of the best Summoners in Europe, he has yet to make a name for himself internationally.
Vulcan
Veteran Summoner and highly skilled support, Vulcan helps to lead the way for his young teammates in EG. He fights by controlling water, and, on very rare occasions, using his unnaturally long tongue. (Demonic deals have their side effects.)
Jankos
Although he's a world-class jungler, Jankos is best known for his tendencies to scream, make jokes, miss spears and flirt with his teammates. Famously lost to Canyon despite sharing the same powers and having beaten him last year. He works hard to lead his team to victory, one "zoning" spear at a time.
Rekkles
Handsome and outgoing, Rekkles is the golden boy of the European league—which makes it a surprise that he was rejected from all ten major guilds in 2022. He fought for Fnatic for nearly seven years before joining G2. Despite the high hopes for the new G2, he and his team ended up at the rank corresponding to his favorite number: fourth.
Biofrost
After TSM 2020's run on the Summoner's Rift ended in tragedy, Biofrost was thought to be dead. Although Bjergsen soon returned from death, it would take much longer for Biofrost to reappear in the land of the living. No one knows where he was, exactly, but there's new shadows to weigh him down no matter how bright his light shines.
Faker
Known as the Unkillable Demon King, Faker's very presence is enough to shake the heavens. There are very few people, living or dead, that are capable of matching Faker. He wields shadows like an extension of himself, bringing a swift defeat to his enemies with his razor-sharp blades. Faker is no normal Summoner—with the power accumulated from his three championship wishes, he is the closest thing to a god.

All the Courage of a Satellite
chapter 1 heavily revised
and chapter 2 posted!
just realized i never made a tumblr post for chapter 1. (oops)
but hey, in case y'all haven't read it, then that's perfect since I've made some lots of changes :'D bcuz ya girl is not gud at planning and had to go back and fix some plot holes—
anyways, chapter 2 has been marinating in my brain since like, forever.
[spoilers below]
this story started out as a short one-shot of lunari oner and star boi keria helping each other run from the solari, then oner getting injured and guma searching for him, only for keria to misunderstand and threaten guma because a solari looking for a lunari thief could not be good news. and then that idea snowballed and bam, here we are
the guma-oner reunion turned out quite different than the original, so i wanted to share some of that:
[for context, there was supposed to be a much longer delay between oner going missing and guma-zeus finding him]

cuz while my t1 bois are running it down at msi (faker, pls give keria his hook back) ive been aggressively maladaptive daydreaming about them slaying dragons and stuff, and i would very much like those ideas to not just be stuck in my brain forever

cant sleep, wrote a bit to cope
As Minseok pulls their youngest into a hug, Sanghyeok stays silent. What more is there to say? The children are hurting, and there wasn’t anything he could do. He’s tired of this helplessness, tired of the bitter feeling of resignation that came with every loss.
As he’s dwelling on these thoughts, Minhyeong wordlessly drags Hyeonjoon closer to where Wooje and Minseok are still drawn in a hug and wraps his arms around his teammates, Hyeonjoon following suit. Minseok makes a small startled noise, but otherwise doesn’t protest. Sanghyeok can't help but feel a small smile creeping up his face, watching them stand huddled up like a family of penguins.
Minhyeong looks up from their huddle, lifting an eyebrow at him. The request is clear, so he stands up from the chair, encircles his arms around his teammates, and basks in the feeling of warmth and undying hope they’ve been giving him all this time. He feels Hyeonjoon and Minseok chuckle between his arms as Wooje complains about being squished, and silently prays that he can keep this, keep them for longer than just this year.
✨️
(It's easy to project onto write Faker in this kind of situation, where you're sad but proud regardless, and you just hope the boys will be happy again, eventually)
