#43: ...out of greed

Holy fuck.

Mickey Milkovich is in your bed.

If it hadn’t happened to you—if you couldn’t still taste the tang of his spunk in the back of your throat—you might not believe that it happened at all. Most have a better shot at winning the lottery than they do at seeing the business end of the permanently inked vines and chains that intertwine before disappearing beneath the cuff of Mickey’s rolled-up sleeves. In the three years you’ve been harboring a dangerous crush on your best friend and roommate’s brother, you’ve never known anyone who’s made the acquaintance of the huge blue lilies that bloom across his chest, swirling around soft pink nipples.

Until now.

Until you.

Holy fuck!

Mickey Milkovich is in your bed!

The previous night had seemed like any other Friday night: Mandy had insisted on having people over, and you were too impressed by her continual efforts to make friends to put up much of a fuss. Besides, you knew the chances were good that her foul-mouthed doppelgänger would show up before the night was over, a cigarette dangling from his sinful lips.

And you were right—ten minutes after midnight, your Southside Cinderella sauntered through the door and headed straight towards you, plopping his perfect ass down next to you on your ratty couch.

Long night? you’d asked, offering him a sip of your beer.

Your reward was a cock of his expressive brows and the pleasure of watching him swallow. ‘M just gettin’ started, Red.

You didn't expect the nickname, so it hit you square in the gut, which is how you found yourself in the alleyway behind your apartment building, smoking a spliff as Mickey’s greedy gaze roamed your recovering body.

Thanks to school and meds and a pair of lagoon-blue eyes, it’d been a minute since you’d gotten any real action. But historically, you'd been good at picking up what’s put down, and Mickey seemed to be laying his cards on your table, one lick of his slightly chapped lips at a time.

You could have blamed the weed seeping into your system, or maybe it was the primal pulse of the full moon overhead that made your blood sing and your hands itch... Either way, your belly burned too bright to bear, and before you could stop yourself, you shoved a shocked—but smiling—Mickey up against the wall.

Sorry, Mandy, you thought as you looped your fingers underneath her brother's gold chain necklace and pulled his hips flush against yours. The need was just too great, and your willpower was far too compromised to hold back any longer.

Your lips against his could have destroyed whole universes.

Funny thing was, you wouldn’t have cared one bit.

#jinx ray baby - i just got the note for your prompt fill for me! lol #i hope you like this lil ditty in second person pov #i'm rusty but i love you & i love these boy dolls #shameless #shameless fanfiction #prompt fill #ian x mickey

Me: Oh my profs are on strike. Now is the perfect time to catch up on assignments and start reading ahead.

Also me: The time is NOW to start writing that plot-heavy Northeast Indian queer quartet adventure you've been recursively planning out for over a year !!

#i'm jinxing it lol but i did fix some plot holes yesterday and am trying to fill out the entire plot #it's........ going to be a lot more complex than my mystery series but i don't think it's any more complex than a standard novel #this is practice. for if i eventually do just say fuck it and write my own book #it's really hard to estimate how long this fic will be at the moment but probably around 60k at least #and switching pov between the main four. they each have separate plotlines going on but they overlap #sooooooo if that's your jam.........

hi hi! i'm alive! quite inactive due to life but wanted to pop by and drop this little lava plus jake as their son and kid unagami fic that i had planned to make a multi chap out of but i don't think i'll be able to finish so i thought i'd at least have the first chap posted here for anyone who would like to see it!! huge thanks to @articalextraordinaire for betaing this one <3<3 anyways here ya go! its not much but hope the read was worth it!

Today was supposed to be one of the best days of his life. He woke up at 8 am from the sun shining brightly through the window. He didn't even whine and try to get more sleep before his dad came to wake him up, no. He jumped out of bed himself, brushed his teeth, did his own hair, dressed and got his backpack on all before breakfast! Even Uncle Zane was surprised! His dads were confused! But they were still proud of him! He only needed a little help from Auntie Nya to tie his shoelaces.

What’s the special occasion? Uncle Lloyd was finally taking him to work with him! And Uncle Lloyd did not have just any regular job, no. He had the BEST job in all of Ninjago. He was the Green Ninja! And Jake was so excited to be able to hang out with him for the day.

It was supposed to be the best day ever.

But one call from Uncle Lloyd made it all come crashing down.

"But dad," Jake whined, "Uncle Lloyd promised he would take me with him to work today!"

His dad Cole gave him a sad smile. "That was before there was a prison breakout at Kryptarium- which is not the safest place for a kid, Jake." He said, as he prepared to go help Uncle Lloyd. “I’m sure Lloyd will take you with him another day, he always makes up broken promises.”

That did not stop Jake’s sad pout though, it only made it worse. “Kryptarium break outs are so cool! Maybe I could see Pythor or UltraViolet- or maybe even Killow! I wish you could take me with you. I love watching you guys kick butt!”

That made Cole laugh. “I know you do, little man. But we don’t want anything bad to happen to you and those villains won’t stop at anything to make sure they hurt us by hurting you.” His dad ruffled his hair lovingly before he reached over where he sat to grab his hammer.

Jake nodded understandingly. But it only eased how upset he was a little bit. "Then, what am I supposed to do today?" he whined, as he grabbed his dad's hand and shook it. He knew he was being a bit too much because he understood that his family had a responsibility to protect Ninjago. But it was the weekend! He couldn’t waste the weekend!

Cole paused in gearing up to turn his attention to his son. He smiled as he crouched down to meet the boy's height, which was not entirely successful because his dad was a giant. "Well, we asked a couple of friends to take them with you to their work today! I think you'll like them. They're heroes themselves, you know?"

That had caught Jake's attention. Heroes other than the ninja?

"Who is it?! Is it another elemental master? Auntie Skylor? Oh! Is it Queen Vania? Or King Benthomaar?! But wait, I can't breathe underwater.... Is Auntie Pix giving me my own underwater suit-"

"Okay, okay. Calm down, kiddo." His Papa Kai chuckled as he came into the room, lowering himself down next to his husband. "Getting a little too excited over there, bud."

Jake flushed, scratching his head. He couldn't help it. It was so cool to be able to hang out with the amazing people that helped his dads save Ninjago once upon a time. Sure, he’s already met a lot of them and sees his aunts and uncles more often than not. But that’s when they’re just his aunts and uncles and not when they're being superheroes. There is a difference!

His Papa flicked his Dad's forehand, causing Cole to lose his balance and fall on his butt. Which led both Jake and Kai to laugh. After getting himself together, his Dad continued, "well, it's not any of them. But we can definitely reach out to them another time!"

"This time, though, you'll be hanging out with some of Ninjago city's very own local heroes."

"Who is it?!"

"The Paper Boys!"

Jake frowned. Those aren't heroes.

And he said so, making both of his dads hum.

Cole straightened up to stand as he spoke, "You may think that at first but," He put his hands underneath Jake's armpits and picked him up as he stood, making the boy squeal. "They're possibly some of the greatest heroes Ninjago has ever seen."

"Really?" Jake gasped.

"Yup! They even saved Papa once!"

Kai nodded as he got up as well. "It's true. I would've been a goner if it weren't for them diving into the canal to save me when Kalmaar came to get the storm amulet." He shivered a bit, "Doesn't bring up good memories, for sure."

Cole moved Jake to his hip and wrapped his other arm around his husband, bringing him closer. "Thankfully, we're all safe and together. They've done a lot for us," he turned to Jake, "They're immovable and have always held down the fort when all seemed lost. If you think our adventures are cool, wait till you hear about theirs."

Jake was hooked now. He had met them once before but never knew just how much they had done for Ninjago. He felt excitement well up as he hung onto every word his fathers said about the paperboys, slightly shaking with excitement.

"When can I go?" He asked, louder than he meant to. But his dads’ only chuckled.

"How about right now?"

"YES!"

Cole smacked a big kiss on both of their temples before putting Jake down. Kai took the boy's hand and they both went outside the monastery. His dad followed shortly with a backpack with everything they needed from the weaponry.

Outside stood a girl with short hair next to two bicycles. One was occupied by herself while the other looked like Jake's own. It was one of the paper boys, he remembered seeing her around the city. She seemed cool. Was her name Anastasia?

When they came to a stop in front of her, Kai took the chance to introduce them, "Jake, this is Antonia. Antonia, this is our son Jake."

Jake raised a hand to wave but hid slightly behind his Papa's leg. "Hi, Antonia." He wasn't shy! She was just...a little intimidating.

But that changed when she smiled and gave a wave of her own. "Heya, Jake! It's nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you from your dads."

Jake looked up at his dads at that. Cole rubbed a hand behind his neck and chuckled, "I tend to get carried away talking during patrols." Everyone laughed at that. Cole turned to Jake. "Antonia here is going to take you with her and show you what the paperboys do. You stick close to her at all times okay, little man? And don't cause too much trouble for them!"

Jake nodded enthusiastically, "I promise, Dad!" He had already started hopping his way towards the bicycles when he was pulled back by his Papa.

"Jake," Kai dropped down on one knee and grabbed Jake's shoulders. The boy straightened up when he saw the serious look on his father's face. "Don't go running off somewhere without one of them. You know Ninjago city as well as us, so you know just how dangerous it can get in a blink of an eye. You got your watch on, right? You remember how to send out a signal?"

Shrugging to shake the backpack he had on, Jake nodded. "Yes, Papa. I have to press the side button three times and it sends Auntie Pix my location! I even have everyone's phone numbers written down in my notebook, pepper spray, a map, water and the taser-flashlight Uncle Jay got for me on festival day."

"Say what now?" Both parents said in unison.

Kai shook his head, "Whatever. As long as you know how to use it safely." He sighed, before he gave a crinkly eyed smile that made Jake smile in return. "Have fun today, alright kiddo? I'm sure Uncle Lloyd will make today up to you when he can."

Jake jumped into his Papa's arms when he opened them and snuggled in to savor the warmth that radiated off of him. "I know. I'll be careful. I love you, Papa."

"I love you more, my little lava monster."

"Hey!" Came from Cole before he swooped both his husband and son into his arms. "Don't leave me out of the party."

They all laughed. Jake melted into the hug. There was absolutely no place in the world he felt more safe and loved in than in his dads’ arms. His dad squeezed them both and finally let them down when his papa started elbowing dad.

"Well, we got to go help the others out at Kryptarium Prison." Kai said. He patted his hand on Jake's head before he continued. "Take good care of him for us, Antonia. If anything happens, call us first, okay?"

She gave a mock salute. "You got it, boss." Then she turned to Jake and gestured towards the bicycles. "C'mon! Don't wanna run late for your first day with the paper boys!"

Jake was excited. He gave his dads one more hug to their legs before he ran to gear up.

"So," Antonia started as they buckled in their helmets. "I'll give you a run down of what we'll do and everything when we hit the road, that cool?"

"Yup!"

"Awesome! Also, someone else might be joining us. Nelson already went to get him, I hope that's alright with you?"

Jake nodded again, but asked, "Who is it, though?"

Antonia grabbed her bike as she spoke, "It's someone you've definitely heard of. His dad promised to give us a sneak peak of the new game he's working on in exchange for us showing the kid around."

"New game? Are they new here?"

She shrugs. "The dad isn't. Kid is."

"Huh?"

"You'll see. C'mon, now. If you're ready, let's head out."

"Right!" Jake grabbed his bike and with a final wave to his parents, they both started to make their way down the mountain. He was excited to see what the day held and also curious about who this person is. Someone he's heard of but was new here? His dad makes games? Well, he'll see!

Cole and Kai waited at the gates until they could no longer see them before they went back inside. The parents worried about their curious son but they had to help their friends. Right as they were about to get in their vehicles, their comms crackled to life.

"Uh-guys?" Lloyd's voice came through. "How far out are you? The Mechanic's got a hold of some of the buses and a bunch of escapees are heading towards the city. We got the commissioner and the police ready to intercept them outside the city limits but they'll need some backup."

With one shared glance they were already in their vehicles and hitting the road. "We're on our way, Lloyd. We’ll try to intercept them before they reach the city but tell the commissioner to hold the line just in case." Kai replied.

"You got it. Stay safe, guys."

Soon after, Cole's voice came in, the concern palpable in his tone as he said, "Kai, should we tell Antonia to take Jake back to the monastery? I'm worried about him. "

"Me too, Rocky. But don't worry, I trust Antonia and Nelson. They'll make sure nothing happens to him. Besides, we'll make sure they don't make it anywhere near our son."

One of the topics that many fanfics put their eye on is that Caitlyn and Jinx hate each other to death but need each other to an obsessive point, and I have seen this topic being written, seen and reviewed from the point of view of both, Caitlyn and Jinx, but I've never seen it from Vi's point of view. So here I am, imagining what it would be like for Vi to witness all this situation, exemplifying with some scenes that occur to me along the way.

Just imagine Jinx having (presumably) killed Caitlyn's mom, and making it clear to Vi that Powder isn't coming back. Jinx lost her only remaining family again and Caitlyn lost her mother.

Vi has no idea who to support, on the one hand she knows that Powder is not coming back and that her sister will never be the same and there is no way she will trust her again, but having only had for years the desire to see Powder again, and to be with her again prevents him from giving up and/or completely abandoning that desire. And it's harder for her knowing that she can't go back to Jinx and ask them to go back to the way she was before without having to part with Caitlyn.

But on the other hand, there is Caitlyn, she has empathized with her, they both helped each other not to get carried away by the prejudices they both had about each other and about their societies. And now Caitlyn has the sole intention of arresting (if not killing) Jinx, she wants to find her, she wants to do justice for her mother and for everything Jinx has done to her (and there are many more, but personally I think the do justice for others in this case Caitlyn would have it in a secondary plane).

Both people she appreciates hate each other, she can't justify what Jinx did, she doesn't want to do it, but she understands why she did it, and she knows that she is part of that why. But Caitlyn doesn't see it the same way, Jinx isn't her sister, Jinx isn't hers, Jinx is just a criminal who killed her mother and unfortunately shares blood with the woman she was starting to open up to. your heart. Vi also understands Caitlyn's pain, understands what it feels like to lose her mother, and it hurts her to the core that she has to go through it too (although in her subconscious she inevitably thinks that she lost more, or that it will make Caitlyn understands her better, but they are thoughts she immediately gets rid of.)

Caitlyn is frustrated about this, because Vi can't comfort her in any way because she understands both her and Jinx. She tries to understand Vi, they both need mutual support at that moment, but her attempts to support each other only end in arguments that always reach the same point: Jinx.

Vi goes back and forth between accompanying Caitlyn in her mourning (mourning that she hasn't done properly because she was focused on finding Jinx) and going with Ekko to take care of him and his broken leg. Ekko tells Vi what she had already explained before and that Vi already knew but was still reluctant to accept: Powder was gone, Jinx was all there was now and there was nothing Vi could do about it.

Everytime Vi returns with Caitlyn, she sees her worse, haggard, not getting enough sleep, not eating properly, she doesn't even speak to her when she sees her wandering around her mansion. Her room in a mess, with papers, red threads, photographs and many cups of coffee scattered on the floor, everyone trying to keep up with someone Vi no longer wanted to hear from.

Vi was tired, the only possible topic of conversation with Caitlyn at the moment was Jinx. So he asks Caitlyn to talk about something else, to relax about her and talk to her, about anything but Jinx.

And Caitlyn just looks at her, frowns, and asks: "And what else could we talk about? How you left me out in the rain throwing a fit, saying we were oil and water, just because the council didn't listen to you? How the only reason you keep coming back here is because your sister killed my mother? How our entire relationship revolves around your sister?"

Vi gets upset, it's obvious that Caitlyn is having a hard time, but she can't help but feel bad for what the enforcer had told her.

What follows are weeks in which nothing is heard from Jinx, everyone is looking for clues about her, and Caitlyn is the most dedicated in the investigation and search, she is offered all the available material (thanks to Jayce) to take to carry out your search better and easier. Even so, it is not enough and they cannot find anything.

She has distanced herself from Caitlyn, and although she continues to visit her, their conversations remain awkward greetings and occasional comments about what they had for breakfast or how they were.

The weeks go by, Jinx still doesn't show up, and Vi can't help but worry, thinking about the possibility that there has been an attempt on her life.

It keeps passing in time, and after a long time, Jinx would make her appearances again, this time being much more scandalous and without fear that they would find out that it was her. Whether it be bombing some place in Piltover, stealing some artefact from the museum in the middle of the afternoon, with its due explosions in between, or simply doing graffiti on public monuments, making fun of the city, but above all and almost every time, making fun of Caitlyn.

Vi had become an enforcer. Over time she recovered her relationship with Caitlyn and working together they were able to have a common topic to share.

But at the end of the day, upon entering Caitlyn's room or office, most of the things in those rooms were about Jinx, about her attacks, about the clues that could lead them to her.

Vi had resigned herself to having to arrest Jinx, had already accepted it and seen it firsthand. Jinx was hopeless.

But even when she came face to face with Jinx in one of her many bombing raids, she couldn't shake the obsession that the sheriff of Piltover and the loose cannon had for each other.

"Hey, the hat lady are supposed to come to give me the police monologue, not you, agh, she really believes a lot, now she even sends her dogs to do her job, she is very disrespectful to the person who gives her work to do". Vi didn't understand how Jinx wouldn't even consider talking to her about the slightest thing.

"Jinx, don't make things harder, turn yourself in now.". She had gotten into the habit of calling her by the name that she herself inevitably gave her.

"Hey, I want to see Cait! It's not fair that she make me face her number two, I specially prepared this to kill her today, number one versus number one"

"Jinx, don't make me do it"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, save your sentimental bullshit for later, if the sheriff can't do her job well then she don't deserve this. Agh, I had worked hard to do it, but meh, she lose it! Anyway, say hello to that little cupcake from me, fat hands! See ya!"

And Vi kept seeing these scenes many times, both of them always asking for the other, looking for a way to find each other, looking for a way to catch the other. And Vi could only watch the chaos around them, knowing that she had been the cause of why that both end like this.

Okay, again, this is just my idea, sorry if I sound pretentious or something, but I had this for many days in my head and I had to let it out xd, so yeah, make fanfics of this, being caitjinx shippers, hate Vi or something/j

#arcane caitlyn #caitlyn #caitlyn kiramman #caitjinx #jinx x caitlyn #caitlyn x jinx #arcane jinx #jinx #vi arcane #nah cause being a caitjinx shipper it's ruining my life fr #caitjinx headcanon #pov vi #just me being pretentious #vi is stupid lol/j #nah but I don't like Vi fr #but she's a good character

also i think it's interesting that

if i had a nickel for every time i've run with a character's portrayal and been told "oh yeah this is a good depiction of [specifical neurodivergence] i'd had 2 nickels

which i didn't expect any of those times

#rambling #one was in my first arcane one-shot bcs of jinx #and the other talking about kunikida on twt #(squizophrenia and ocd specifically)#and i was like :O bcs i hadn't thought about anything specific at all before dropping the fic/post #it's not like idk symmetra (canon btw) or tetch and autism #(or ranpo but i haven't tried his pov at all so far)#where i did/do write with that into account #i mean i didn't think of jinx or kunikida as neurotypical at all but like #again i hadn't thought about something in particular #so it was very intriguing

I really love your huge essays about CaitVi and Arcane <3 It feels like you can really defend a doctoral dissertation on this.

I wanted to know what you think about Vi's reaction when Jinx has a breakdown after Vi touches her. If you look frame by frame, you can see how surprised(?) and scared she is. Considering that Vi didn't see Powder's breakdown in episode 3, did she even know about them? I just imagine how much guilt Vi feels and how upset she is about all this, considering that it happens after she finds out that her sister is now calling herself Jinx.

(omg I’m so late to this I’m so sorry!! I was moving :/)

my huge essays askdnadsk im over here clogging everybody's dashboards :/ *expand* Thank you :') I'm glad you're loving these as much as I'm loving writing them.

Oof, yeah. Their reunion is heartbreaking in a lot of ways, but Jinx rejecting Vi's affection after being tormented by her own trauma is devastating for many reasons.

We've already established that Vi's love language is physical touch. She's affectionate with everyone she cares about, as we've seen in her relationship with Powder, Vander, Ekko and Caitlyn. This is important because that's how Jinx remembers Vi before physical touch was used against her.

Vi is not used to having this type of affection denied. We haven’t seen a single instance of Powder rejecting Vi’s touch when she was younger. On the contrary, this is likely how Vi would initiate conflict resolution and attempt to defuse tension between them - through touch.

Powder loved Vi’s affection and she used to seek it too. She immediately physically comforted Vi in a moment of great distress. See how she melted in the palm of Vi’s hand there? Touch is how they convey their love for each other and how they comfort their loved ones.

So for Vi to reach out and have her method of conflict resolution denied is a pretty big deal. She doesn’t understand what’s going on with Jinx. Words aren’t helping. At this point, gestures aren’t either. It’s causing Jinx even more distress. Jinx’s sense of reality, her feeling of betrayal, and her trauma are blending together in her mind and nothing that Vi could do in this moment would soothe her little sister because she needs time out.

Jinx would have needed space here. I need to think.

I truly think this is one aspect of Jinx that has changed significantly. Without Vi around and with a father figure as cold as Silco, Jinx didn’t have a person in her life to reciprocate that type of affection and she needs it. We see her seek Silco’s affection a lot more than we see her receiving physical touch as a form of affection from anyone.

So now, Jinx is much more likely to fear physical touch and to perceive it as something negative. It hasn’t been reinforced as a powerful way to connect with the people she loves since Vi. She lost this means of comfort almost entirely.

It isn’t surprising that Vi would be taken aback when facing a reaction like this. I don’t think she’s ever seen Powder act this way. It hurts even more to think about how Jinx rejects Vi’s affection here specifically because she feels like it isn’t special anymore. It’s not their thing anymore, because she cares about the Enforcer too.

#im in pain #i dont fully understand jinx's character and her motivations in certain moments #so i definitely may be getting her wrong #i can understand and relate to characters like vi or caitlyn #but jinx is so intimidating to me bc although i see a lot of jinx in my friends and family members irl #i haven't personally related to her #so it's really hard for me to put myself in her shoes and to view things from her pov #anyway i hope you love this!!#ramblings #discussion

Okay so Kahilda calling Adler in 3x04 and then Tally trying to call her the same way now that she’s a steward in 3x09 like?!?! Can someone scream with me or some write how Alder wanted to answer or something. Still upset how her grief persists until Adler is actually there seems atypical. Idk if any of this makes sense but just trying to share my tadler feels/pain lol

omg wait i hadn't even made that connection but you're so right!! she was absolutely trying to call Alder back and rewatching that scene you can literally see the grief on her face when she turns to Adil, but then she was just totally fine seeing Alder at the wedding?!? and like, even shipping aside, Tally literally thought she had just watched Alder die for the second time and then she just...casually hears about her presence at the wedding and just decides to catch her on her way out?? and not address any of it??? it's absolutely just down to bad writing at this point and prioritizing the plot (or what the writers wanted their final season's plot to be before knowing s3 was it, but that's a whole other essay 🙄) over actual meaningful character beats. it makes no sense and i feel your pain!!!

also holy shit the thought of Alder in the cave already thinking this is really it and then hearing Tally's song and not being able to even respond? Tally literally gave up her power for the song, and now with Alder trapped after breaking her promise to save herself, it might as well have been for nothing. now Tally's always going to be carrying a reminder of yet another broken promise. she just wanted to help, she always just wanted to help. Alder's met quite a few like her over the years--hell, even Nicte wasn't unlike that in the beginning--but Tally's different. Tally's special, and Alder's known it from the moment Tally offered herself up as a biddy. but the problem is that Alder corrupts. it's what she's always done from her earliest days. her sister (always 'her sister,' never Abigail. easier to keep the memories and the grief at arm's length if she keeps her thoughts impersonal), every single one of her biddies over so many lifetimes, Nicte, and so many countless others. but Tally hurts the worst because after it all, after all of the let-downs, the lies, the broken promises Tally still hasn't left. she still hasn't given up on her. even now, Alder can hear her singing from somewhere far away, but without the Mycelium she can't travel, and she's so weak she can't spare the energy for a response, but goddess help her, she's not giving up like this. she promised Tally, and for reasons she can't (shouldn't? won't.) articulate, she wants more than anything to keep her promise for once. for Tally. and so with the last of her strength (and the knowledge that one wrong seed might bring the entire mountain down on her, but that's just a risk she'll have to take if it means getting back to Tally), she sings.
