Conclave

Jayce x Viktor x Fem!Reader

Arcane Halloweek: Day 3 - Mages, Witches, and Wizards

A/N: Kind of went off the rails for this one lol - created a whole ass mage universe. not in the arcena universe, just kind of made my own. but it’s not really important lol. Hope you all enjoy!

Word Count: 4.5k

Warnings: canon divergence, AU, angst, fluff, very vague mention of the fact that reader will outlive Jayce and Viktor, happy ending.

Un’beta read - apologies for any grammatical mistakes/spelling errors

The crimson wax seal stares up at you tauntingly, the carefully crafted sigil of house Narkissos laying broke in half in your haste to read the parchment it held closed.

“No, no, no! Fuck!” Pieces of hair break off in your fingers as you grasp desperately at the strands, complete and utter fear for using through your veins as you pace across the room.

You knew coming from an old house would come back to haunt you. You should have expected this - you can’t run from them forever. Not when they send for you personally.

Not when they call a conclave.

There hasn’t been a conclave in thousands of years, you never anticipated having to attend one, preferring to keep to yourself and avoid all the silly rules they impose upon mages.

Hell, you had planned to ignore a conclave call if you ever did get one, but the invitation wasn’t just for you. It had their names in it too.

Which means they know. Which means you’re all in danger whether you attend the conclave or not.

“Fuck!” The word rips from your chest in a powerful cry, shaking the room around you.

Tinctures and other various tools are still rattling when the two people you are so afraid for, enter your workshop, worry clear on their faces.

Your names leaves their lips in gentle whispers as familiar hands slide up your back before resting on your shoulders as you brace your hands on the desk - that damn seal mocking you as you stare down at it.

The sigil is of a raven, beautiful wings spread as it clutches a skull in its talons.

You used to find the picture to be a powerful symbol. But now…now it just feels like a message.

“What’s wrong?”

Viktor is the first to speak, his accented voice doing nothing to calm your turbulent emotions like it usually does. Nothing can calm you now, not Jaya as warm hands or Viktor's gentle words.

Not when everything you hold dear is at risk.

Fingers shakily grasp the delicate parchment that appeared on your desk, holding it up as explanation.

“A conclave,” you whisper, voice unsteady. “They’re holding a conclave.”

Your lovers confusion is palpable as you turn around to face them, their hands falling to their sides as you lean against the desk. Jayce looks from you to Viktor then back again before speaking, hand fisting unsurely at his side.

“And that’s…a bad thing? I thought mage conclaves were just to discuss changes or elect new members to sit on the council-“

“It’s not that simple!” You snap, immediately regretting it the moment Jayce’s face falls and Viktor reaches up to place a hand on his shoulder. “Shit I -“ You take a deep breath, the paper in your hand crinkling as you crush it in your fist. “I’m sorry. That is what they usually are. They may be dreadfully boring but they’ve never been dangerous not…not until now.”

The words leave your lips in a whisper, and you can’t bring yourself to meet their eyes, as they look at you questioningly.

“Why is this one different?” Viktor finally asks, cane thumping anxiously against the floor.

“Because of you.” Your voice is firm, devoid of any previous emotion as the gravity of the situation finally settles in your stomach. “Mages…we’re expected to present those we chose as life partners. Usually it’s a cause for celebration as it’s usually a mage bonding with another mage and carrying on an old house but-“

“We’re human.” Jayce states, picking up on the implication of your words.

You nod, swallowing thickly. “Yes. And they…the other mages, especially the council don’t…this-“ You gesture between the three of you. “This is unheard of. I can’t even think of an instance that it’s happened before and they…they aren’t fond of outsiders.”

Jayce shakes his head, stepping forward as he speaks. “Then we just don’t tell them. You go to the conclave like normal and we’ll stay here, they don’t have to know-“

“Except they already do.”

Viktor's voice is grim as he speaks, fingers curled against his chin in thought as golden eyes flick up to meet your own. “That is why you’re so upset.”

You nod, unable to hold back the tears that have been burning at the back of your eyes since you read the dark ink scrawled neatly on the invitation. They bubble to the surface, coating your lashes as you try to blink them back.

“Yes, I…They know about you, they know we’re together and I don’t-“ You choke on a sob. “I don’t know what they’re going to do.”

Two sets of arms envelop you before you can break down further, the two bodies pressing up against you as Jayce and Viktor sandwich you between their embrace.

“We’re here,” Jayce says, voice gentle as he presses a kiss to your temple. “And we’ll be here for whatever happens.”

Viktor hums his approval, one hand sliding down to intertwine his fingers with your own. “Jayce is right. We will be together, no matter what happens.”

───── 𖥸 ─────

Despite being together for years at this point, Jayce and Viktor are always in awe whenever you use magic, especially in such a grand way as transportation.

Jayce of course had witnessed a spell like this as a child, but you always took a small sense of pleasured happiness at the way his eyes widen in child-like wonder as you paint runes in the air.

The familiar blue haze fills the small clearing behind your house, casting the pallid grey morning in a calming azure light.

The spell comes naturally to you, hands twirling your staff to form the intricate runes that make up the transportation spell until, with a grand wave of your arms and firm drive of the staff, all three of you are on your way.

It happens in the blink of an eye and in a whirlwind of colors and stars until your feet are back on solid ground. Viktor stumbles slightly as the spell leave him and Jayce just a few inches from the ground, but Jayce is there to steady him as you take in your surroundings.

The conclave meets in the same place each time. The Evereska Valley between two of the oldest mountain ranges in the world - the supposed birthplace of magic and mages as you know them.

You never knew weather to believe the little stories that were told to you as a child of a drop of magic falling to the earth here in this valley, only to sprout and grow until the very first man came across it and was blessed with the gift of magic.

But you cannot deny how power thrums through your veins every time you step onto these grounds. You can only hope you’d be powerful enough to protect Jayce and Viktor if it comes to that.

Because you won’t let anything happen to them. Not if you can help it.

You had the transportation spell drop you three just outside the entrance of the conclave hall. Most mages teleport right inside, not wanting to bother either the extra walk. But you needed time - just a moment to collect yourself before you made your entrance.

“Okay…” You take a deep breath, turning to your partners. “The conclave isn’t far, just through those doors but I…I wanted a moment to speak with you both.”

Viktor steps forward at this, brows furrowed. “You’ve already told us everything about the conclave, prepared us for anything that could happen.”

You nod, swallowing down the emotion that tries to bubble up. “I know.” You reach out to take their hands, stepping closer to them as you squeeze their hands firmly. “I love you both. No matter what happens, please know that.”

Their demeanor soften at your words and before either of them respond, they each place a chaste kiss to your lips, Jayce placing an extra one to your forehead for good measure.

“We know,” Jayce says, voice soft as he tucks a piece of hair behind your ear. “Of course we know that. We love you too.”

“No matter what.” Viktor adds.

You nod, giving them a tight smile before linking your arms with theirs. Viktor on your right, and Jayce on the left. They know you have human partners, no point in trying to hide it.

The large ornate doors of the conclave hall open automatically when you approach them, letting out a wave of conversation, music, and laughter.

While the meetings themselves bore you to tears, you have to admit that the before and after are typically worth the days it takes to settle years worth of issues.

Most of the commotion is coming from farther into the building, so you and your partners have several more yards before any eyes are on you, something you’re silently grateful for.

Only when you reach the ends of the entryway do you pause, the music and conversation louder now that you are just on the other side of the curtain separating the grand hall from where you currently stand.

Sensing your trepidation Jayce places a warm hand over your own on his arm just as Viktor places a gentle kiss to your cheek.

It’s all the courage you need as Jayce pushes the curtain aside and the three of you enter the room.

It’s almost comical how quickly silence befalls the room, covering it like a thick black cloud as all eyes fall on you.

The only sound in the room now is the crackling of the two roaring fires at the center of the room, the hushed whispers as mages lean into one another, and the sporadic awkward cough.

You want to die. You can feel the beginnings of another teleportation spell sparkling at your fingers tips. But before you can disappear and face the repercussions of that particular faux puss, a familiar face appears before you.

“Ah (y/n), how nice of you to join us!” The man says, dark brown eyes sparkling beneath thick grey brows. “And I see you brought guests.”

The room is still silent as he speaks, and your words dry up in your mouth. Jayce and Viktor don’t dare speak, having already been warned by you to not utter a word unless you have them the go ahead - too much room for error.

Picking up on your utter discomfort, the older man hums in understanding before turning to face the room, waving ring clad hands around dismissively.

“Everyone get back to business! You’ll have time to introduce yourselves later, this is a celebration after all, is it not?” The man laughs as he walks beside Jayce, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder as he continues. “Eat, drink! We have much time before proceedings begin!”

As if on command, the room bursts with life again. Conversation explodes all around you as the musicians pick up their instruments once more, elegant music floating through the air as the man turns back to you, and you practically melt with relief.

“Abraham!” Taking your arms from your partners you can’t help but wrap them around the older mage instead, his laughter warming your chest as he returns the gesture.

“My little mage, it’s so good to see you.” He says, hugging you right before you pull away, looking up at him worriedly.

“It’s good to see you too Abraham, but I…” You cast a glance at your lovers, heart clenching as their hands intertwine - confusion, wonder, and suspicion clear on their faces. “I’m scared Abraham. They asked for me to bring them, by name. And you know how most of them feel about outsiders I don’t…have you heard about what they want? What are they going to do?”

Abraham shushes you, weathered hands coming to rest on your shoulders assuredly. “No harm will come to them, little mage. Not while I still stand - or you for that matter.” He chuckles, one hand sliding down to take yours. “I can feel the energy within you, can sense your connection to those two men.” He’s whispering now, voice low so only you can hear. “You are a noble house, a house of old. Do not let their archaic beliefs keep you from happiness. And I won’t either.”

He steps away from you, words ringing in your ear as he addresses all three of you now.

“Please,” he says, smile warm as he clasps his hands together, “eat, drink, enjoy yourselves. We will not begin the conclave until tomorrow after everyone rests. And both tonight and tomorrow your seats are beside me and my house.”

Finally, Viktor speaks and you’re glad he knows it’s the appropriate time to do so, no risk of rebuke here.

“Thank you. Your hospitality is most gracious, mighty Abraham.”

Viktor bows his head slightly as he speaks, exactly like you taught him and Jayce. So, when Abraham lets out a deep bellowing laugh, the shock on Viktor's face is apparent.

You send a glare towards the older mage, who only shakes his head, eyes sparkling with amusement as he looks at you.

“Did you teach him that?”

You scoff, Crossing your arms defensively. “Of course I did! Not all mages are like you Abraham, most of them are stuck up pricks! I had to teach them the old greetings so they wouldn’t get themselves in trouble!”

Abraham, laughter subsiding, nods and turns his attention to the two men behind you. “While she is correct in teaching you the old ways, please do not use them with me. Mages do not typically greet each other in this manner.”

Jayce shakes his head. “But…we’re not mages.”

“You are bonded to her.” Abraham gestures to you, a small smile tugging at his lips. “That places you on the same level and thus worthy of the same courtesy. Treat me as you would any of those close to you.”

At this both men nod, giving their thanks before falling silent again.

“Well, I don’t want to keep you. Thank you for the warm welcome Abraham, it was…I appreciate it more that you know. To have someone on my side.” You say, smiling at your old friend.

He nods. “Of course. Now, enjoy the evening and if I don’t see you before you retire, come find me before we begin tomorrow. You do not have to face this alone.”

And with that, he turns in a flourish of deep emerald robes and makes his way across the hall.

───── 𖥸 ─────

The first evening passes without incident. No one said much of anything to you, which might sound like a good thing if it weren’t for the upturned noses and nasty glances you’d received all night. However, Abraham's presence and assurances had lulled you into a false sense of security, a feeling that allowed you to fall asleep peacefully in your provided chambers with your lovers at your side.

A feeling that was ripped away from you almost the moment you stepped foot into the great hall the following morning.

There was no great feast, no fresh fruit or pig roasting over the fire. Just hushed silence broken only by quiet whispers as you, Viktor and Jayce made your way to the seats beside Abraham, who looked more apprehensive than last night.

“Abraham, what is it?”

You can sense that something is wrong, and you can only hope and part that it has nothing to do with you and your partners.

The old mages face is solemn as he shakes his head, gesturing subtly to someone walking into the middle of the room, indicating the conclave is about to begin.

Whatever is bothering Abraham will have to wait, and you can only hope you, Jayce and Viktor get out of this unscathed.

───── 𖥸 ─────

You almost forget about the trepidation swimming in your stomach as the conclave is called to order. As usual they start off with official business. Rules and laws that need to be touched on, any new important businesses, and any major news that needs to be shared.

Shortly after it began, you had switched places with Jayce so you were between the two scientists and able to answer the dozens of questions they had for you.

They were asked in hushed whispers, pure curiosity and intrigue present on their faces as they asked and you whispered the answer back.

Your chest fills with warmth as you watch them take in all this information with awe. Humans have traditionally been scorned by mages. Most of them thinking magic above that of lowly humans. But you know that view comes from fear, fear that humans will turn magic against the very people who can wield it naturally.

But Jayce and Viktor aren’t like that, it’s what made you fall in love with them. Their pure, unadulterated, love and interest for the Arcane and their desire to truly learn about it in hopes of helping those most in need.

They’re doing more to help people than most of the mages in this room. Which is why, when your name echoes throughout the room and all eyes fall on you…

You decide to fight for this. Fight for them.

You stand to your feet as Bertram Narkissos looks smugly at you, saying your name once more, quieter this time.

“I believe you have news to share with us?”

The words are laced with faux curiosity, pretending as if he doesn’t already know the ‘news’ you have to share.

Hands clasped neatly in front of you, you don’t give into his goading, eyes firm as you speak.

“I was under the impression that you were more than aware of the news I have to share, Bertram. Considering the…firm invitation.”

You can’t keep the venom out of your words, watching as any false friendliness melts from the old mages face, dark brows falling over golden eyes.

“Right.” He clips. “Then I suppose we should stop beating around the bush. You’ve chosen to bond with humans!”

The uproar is almost immediate, as if he had announced you decided to bond yourself with a demon rather than two accomplished men.

Voices lift into the air, gasps of shock, calls of outcry.

“Humans?!”

“This has never been done-“

“Mages cannot consort with-“

But one voice rises above them all, once again calling your name with an icy coolness that makes you shiver.

Ariadne Castemont, the head of one of the oldest mage houses, is standing at the council table, eyes fixed on you.

She gestures to you, as she speaks. “Come onto the floor.”

You obey without hesitance, but not without casting a glance to Jayce and Viktor who look at you worriedly.

“It will be alright.” You tell them quietly, squeezing their hands before stepping away from the table to make your way into the middle of the room.

Bertram stands to the side now, making you the center of attention in the center of the large hall. Your eyes never leave Ariadne’s deep purple ones, and you can only hope that she gives you a chance. Despite being head of the mages council, she is known for being fair and just, not hasty to decisions.

Once in your place, she speaks once more. “Your bonding is a peculiar one. And as an old house, it makes me wonder what your motivations are.” She begins, eyes narrowing. “Mage numbers have dropped drastically in the last century, there are barely half the numbers we had before then, and it is of utmost importance to keep our race alive. The arcane is-“

“The center of all the universe.” You interrupt her to finish the well known words. “I’m aware of this. But more than anything I’m aware of the bigotry and hatred you all have for humans and anyone who isn’t a mage.”

Your words cause another round of gasps to ripple quietly though the crowd, but you don’t let it deter you.

“We hoard this ability, this gift, and use it for our own gain. We use it to heal our own and feast on more food than we could possibly eat. We use it for our own pleasure while people, humans and other races alike suffer terrible fates-“

“That is hardly our responsibility.” A humorless laugh from beside you guys you off, and you can’t stop the glare you send Bertram as he steps forward once more.

“We cannot be expected to worry ourselves with the plights of every lesser life form.”

“Lesser?” You hiss, pure venom in your voice. “Is that why you all allowed it when mages laid waste to cities thousands of years ago? Killed millions of innocents? Is that why you all looked the other way, and moved on as if a genocide wasn’t committed?” Your eyes track around the room, feeling slightly triumphant when you see most mages look away from your gaze shamefully.

“We are better than no one. And some of our actions are no better than the ‘lowly’ humans you claim to be superior too.”

The room is silent following your outburst, and you think for just a sliver of a moment that you’ve got them. You’ve got them to understand or at least think about their backwards beliefs.

But Bertram, ever the instigator, is not about to lose this fight so easily.

“That still doesn’t explain why you’re teaching them the ways of the arcane.”

At that, the room explodes once more, Louder and more chaotic than before as almost every mage shoots to their feet. Outrage is clear on their faces as they shout out in disbelief, questions coming out quicker than you can try to answer them.

Not that they would be able to hear you anyway.

The smirk on Bertrams face is infuriating, and you can feel your fingers tingling as you move towards him, anger and frustration manifesting in blue sparks at your finger tips.

“ENOUGH!”

The commanding roar is enough to silence the room almost instantly, all voices dying down as eyes fall to the owner of the voice. Abraham stands tall and all commanding at his seat, face pinched in a look of disappointment as his eyes travel over the room.

“I believe it would do us all well to listen for once instead of speaking.” Abraham steps to the side and gestures to your partners who stand patiently behind him, as if ready to come out and join you on the floor.

Which is exactly what they do. Jayce, followed by Viktor, make their way to join you in the center of the room, all eyes following their every move.l until they are right by your side, Jayce reaching out to give your hand a comforting squeeze.

“What on earth do you think you’re doing?” You whisper, words practically hissed out through clenched teeth as you look at your partners.

Viktor only shrugs, that teasing little smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “It was Jayce’s idea. And I figured I might be able to help if needed.”

You got to speak again but Jayce cuts you off, eyes pleading. “Just…trust me okay? Let me talk to them.”

Fear and anxiety swirl violently in your belly, but as you take in their assuring gazes, you force yourself to back down. Giving them each one last look, you nod steeping back to the side to allow them room to speak.

Jayce clears his throat. That all too familiar public persona taking over despite his nerves.

“I know you all don’t trust us. Don’t trust humans, but I’d like to start with a story that might just explain why we started research into the Arcane.”

The crowd murmurs begrudging agreeances, Abraham still looking fiercely at them, daring them to object.

Jayce continues.

“When I was just a child, a mage - possibly one you know - saved me and my mother as we were traveling through a mountain pass in a winter storm. He…he came out of nowhere when I thought all hope was lost. My mother had collapsed, and had the beginning signs of frostbite - I didn’t know what to do and then a figure came out of the storm…”

You watch in anticipated silence as Jayce spins his tale, the story you know all too well from the many times he’s told you. Explains the captivating blue light, the runes carved into the very sky above him and the multitude of colors as he and his mother were transported to safety in a meadow of flowers outside the mountains.

You watch as Viktor steps up next, explaining how they partnered up but we’re still unable to understand certain parts of the arcane, some of their experiments dangerous or backfiring. Until they found you.

You watch as slowly, almost one by one the mages’ apprehension and outrage start to melt away - instead replaced with thoughtful looks or even understanding.

And when they are done, and Jayce thanks them for their patience and hearing them out, the room doesn’t erupt in chaos.

Instead, low murmurs ripple through the room only being interrupted with a firm call of your name, Ariadne standing from her seat once more.

You make your way out to the center of the room once more, this time unashamedly standing between your two partners and taking their hands in your own, finding comfort in their touch as they lean closer to you.

“You admit you’ve been guiding these two men in the ways of magic?” She asks, voice neutral.

You nod, no point in denying it. “Yes. Because they want to make a difference in the lives of those in need. They don’t want this power for themselves, but to use it to better the lives of those who need it most. Just like one of us did for Jayce.”

Ariadne looks perplexed for just a moment, brows pinching as she looks to you once more, eyes piercing. “And you have chosen to be bonded to them? You know your lifespan is vastly different-“

“We know.” You cut her off, taking in a shaky breath at the reminder of that sorrow that will come. “But…we are prepared for that. Content with that.”

They squeeze your hands, and Viktor brings one up to press a gentle kiss to your knuckles in silent comfort as Ariadne takes in your response, turning to murmur to the other council members by her side.

The hall is silent other than their indecipherable whispers, everyone waiting with bated breath until finally Ariadne speaks once more.

“The council has decided,” she looks at you, and you can’t find it in yourself to breathe.

“The bond will be blessed, and following our traditions - it will be celebrated as well.”

Finally, the hall erupts once more, but this time it’s in joyous applause and calls of congratulations.

There are those few, Bertram being one of them, who turn up their noses and exit the hall. But most stand smiling as you turn to embrace your lovers, melting into their warm arms.

“Thank you.” You whisper, pressing a kiss to each of their cheeks.

Both of them respond in kind, words of love and devotion whispered against your lips or hair as they hold you close.

There’s still a lot of work to be done in the world of mages and the arcane, but….

Maybe this is a step in the right direction. And you’d have your boys by you every step of the way.

No matter what.

Arcane AU where Powder/Jinx is a mage?

Like I don’t play League of Legends, and have no interest in playing it, and I’ve only watched Arcane all the way through once. With my sister because she’s got netflix, and I don’t.

But I can’t help but think an AU where Powder/Jinx is unknowingly a mage makes a weird sort of sense. How weirdly drawn she is towards the magic crystals and gems. Along with the fact that with no education or prior experience with making Hextech she manages to bang out a literal superweapon in a matter of days once she moves past the trauma she has surrounding them.

Yeah she’s a tech genius, but Hextech is a whole different ball game. Heimerdinger didn’t even think it was scientifically possible until he was proven wrong by Jayce and Viktor, and he’s hundreds of years old. The fact that she was able to make any functional Hextech at all is honestly impressive.

Not to mention the fact that the name Jinx itself has magical connotations, and it’s closest synonym is the word hex. So the idea that she’s actually an untrained mage is strangely fitting. Specifically Spiritual magic. Fitting for the ghosts that choose to haunt her, and being the type of magic where symbols and words gain power. The idea that her wild untrained magic was more or less absorbing every time called her a jinx and in a twisted way making it true. Along with dealing with thoughts and emotions along with literal spirits.

The idea that the more Mylo and the others accused her of causing bad luck and hurt her feelings, the more her magic would try to strike back at them and try and get even. Cursing them with misfortune. Vi doesn’t survive the explosion because of happenstance. She survives because up until that point she’d never called Powder a jinx, and she’s not seriously injured and shot up to the gills with Shimmer. Her status of being not cursed ends shortly after however, and she winds up trapped in jail for years not long after.

I have to admit that even in this AU the hallucinations Jinx sees of Mylo and Claggor are not literally their ghosts. They’re still hallucinations, with the added bonus of being the magical equivalent of self harm. They’re part of the entire reason Silco finds out that Jinx is a mage, she accidentally projects a hallucination episode outward.

Vi and Powder’s parents did know that Powder was a mage, but they never told Vi or Powder about it in words. Powder was pressed into hiding/suppressing it by her parents. Due to the fact that separation from Mages and their magic was the whole reason Piltover was built, and they didn’t know what would happen to her if the Enforcers [and therefor the Council] found out that there was a Mage in the Undercity. Think a mix of what happened to Elsa in Frozen mixed with the visceral fear of Haku’s mother in Naruto of what would happen if the government found out. Like from the time she’d first displayed magic as a toddler Powder had been conditioned to suppress it. Vi never knew. Their parents never told her, and Powder had been so deeply conditioned to hide it that she herself didn’t even know she had magic until it started rising back to the surface in the most toxic self harming way possible in the wake of the death of their second family.

The fact that their parents themselves conditioned her to hide and suppress her magic. Along with Vi, Vander and the boys never having known about it in the first place has the added affect of causing her to further doubt her relationships with them. Sure they’d seemed to love her, but would they have accepted her in her entirety? Her parents actions make her inclined towards no, because if even her own parents couldn’t accept her entirely who would. Other than Silco who already has.

Adding another layer to her identity as Jinx. It isn’t just that Jinx is aggressive, or ruthless, or amoral in ways Powder wasn’t. Jinx is magic in a way Powder had been pressured into smothering. Something even less accepted in either Piltover or Zaun, considering Piltover was built to get away from magic, and Zaun was built to more or less support Piltover.

It’s also another reason as to why Silco could never hand her over to Piltover even if it would lead to him achieving his dream of the independent state of Zaun. The idea of her sitting trapped in Stillwater for crimes she committed either directly at his request or because she thought it would make him happy is bad enough to him. He doesn’t have the faintest idea of what would happen to Jinx if he handed her over as a Mage.

IDK this is as far as I’ve gotten on this AU and I was only introduced to these characters like three days ago now. Is it good, is it bad? I barely know any of the lore, I only know the different types of magic because I googled it.

Yuuri is a Dalish mage of the White Tower in Orlais who has been given an opportunity not granted to many of his status. He is given the option to join with Celestino North to the Imperium where he can learn more magic and make connections with other mages. At a time when the power of the Circle is weakening and the Southern towers are rebelling, there is no better time for Yuuri to leave the Templar's gaze.

Viktor is a human mage from the Tevinter Imperium, and is tired of the expectations his family have for him. It seems as though everything is set out in front of him, to become a magister of the Imperium, like his father before him.

So I'm planning to write a superhero au for yoi and I was thinking about powers but I'm having a bit of trouble. I wanted to ask, how did you decide the powers for trfl? They fit the characters so well, especially Yuuri's empathy. Did you consider any other powers for Yuuri and the others? Or was it always Empathy, Ice, Fire etc.? ( Sorry if this seems bothersome or something but I love hearing about the writing process and such and would like to hear a bit about yours :D )

oh man sorry i took so long to answer this, i have no good excuse other than “mostly nude man runs down beach with a flaming tree branch, screaming, in an attempt to defeat local snoozing giant” aka breath of the wild.

anyway.

when i was first drafting trfl, the bare bones of the plot actually existed without magic at all--it was a regular medieval au! but then i started realizing some of the things i wanted to do would make more sense if there was magic, and if i could use that to help craft it. so i guess for starters, i’d note that my use of powers and magic evolved alongside the plot, which means i sort of... had both rely on each other? i’m not sure if i’m explaining this well in any way, but i guess i’m trying to say the powers i decided to use were plot-relevant (but conversely the plot was also relevant to the powers i wanted).

i also knew from the start viktor was going to be the ice mage. everyone else, i wondered!! wouldn’t it have been fitting to make yurio and him the same, too, after all? it would really drive the successor thing home--and for yuuri, he would want to be ice too, right?

but then i sorta sat back and thought about it. and part of it is that i like to have my cast be very diverse in both background and abilities when i write fantasy, i def can’t deny that, but i just really enjoy the dynamic when two characters aren’t comparing themselves to each other but when they complement each other in different ways. i.e., no “oh no he can do that spell and i can’t”, but instead “wow the way he uses that is really cool” 2x combo.

(part of me just really wanted both halves of victuuri to have different backgrounds and abilities so that from the get-go they could both look at each other like the other hung the stars in the sky.)

but also, in trflverse, yuuri never had that age-old admiration of viktor, so he wouldn’t have tried to be like him. and in his home environment without a competitive pressure, he never felt emotionally stifled. and when i thought about it, something that really stood out about canon yuuri was how well he communicated emotions in his dancing and skating, so i was like “...what if i just take that a little further”, and thus trfl yuuri as we know him came to be!

as for yurio, i didn’t want to make him a little viktor wannabe copy, either. he has his own strengths separate from that and i wanted to highlight that he’s similar but not the same, and also to highlight that he knows that, bc trflverse yurio definitely has that amount of self-awareness (even if he doesn’t have much past that, lol), so he ended up being fire instead of ice.

i... don’t know how helpful that was about your superhero au but def feel free to hmu with more questions haha!!! i love au worldbuilding ♥

Hermione Granger Fic Recommendations

This frizzy haired brunette woman is one of the strongest ladies I’ve ever had the pleasure to read about. There are so many interpretations of her and I find such joy in reading all of them.

Most, if not all, are Rated M. So be warned that almost all of them contain smut/adult content of some kind. I’m trying to branch out and read things that don’t contain smut but it’s a little challenging. I like steamy reads.

Happy Reading!

Warning: The reason I add stories to my Favorites is that they bring me joy. I find entertainment in them and so I’ll add them for me to enjoy later if I so wish. In some of these stories, the characters might be slightly out of character and it didn’t bother me while reading because the story still made me feel something. So this is warning for those who don’t like any stories that have the characters OOC and avoid them. I put a warning on those I thought might be an issue for others. But like I said. If they are in my favorites, then they’re going to make you giggle and/or cry at some point.

@savvyn_t said: Twin mentors for Jayce and I am here for that!!

Imagine all the disputes Heimerdinger and Viktor would have over lab safety and what is a violation of the ethos (aka Viktor not giving a shit about any of these and Jayce is very much torn between these two helping him with his research and what would be the right way to get progress.)

More oldMage!Viktor AU doodles!!!

Baby Jayce would just literally be so excited to talk to Viktor and ramble about rocks. He was not as obsessed with them yet as he gets after his mage experience but he is already a sucker for rocks anyway.

Viktor just sits there, listens to this adorable boy version of his old partner and answers most (MOST) of his questions. He really enjoys the innocent mind of him, but he figures Jayce kept that for long enough, he still sounded like that boy in his mid 20s.

When Jayce comes home, he tells his mom everything about the guy who saved them and that he was allowed to hold his stick and that they are partners now and she is ready to call the enforcers, fr.

Not an actual part of the AU, just thought it was funny...

Viktor of the current time line is the teaching assistant (TA) at the academy Jayce just started studying at and he recognized him immediately. He didn't manage to focus at all in class, totally stared Vik down until that one decided to ask him about what was so interesting, feeling very uncomfortable. Jayce, a stuttering mess, answered something so dumb that Viktor made him come in for detention.

What Jayce didn't know: Detention with Viktor means doing services for him. On him.

What Viktor didn't know: Jayce had already thought about what it would be like to get it on with his mentor. He's not proud of it. But he was fully aware of who his TA was and fully into it. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Go feral on them, magic man!

It is so very important to me that Jayce wears a cape unironically in his younger years because of his mage obsession just like @jayvikbrainrot described it in their fic Impermanence. He surely was that nerdy kid everyone giggled at but little did they know he has this really scary new friend that claims to be the only person entitled to bully Jayce Talis.
