Shadows & Gunfire
Born in the darkness of Zaun, Nine was never meant to feel love-only obedience. Raised and sharpened into a perfect killer by her father, Silco, she is sent on a mission to eliminate Piltover's noble enforcer, Caitlyn Kiramman. But when their paths cross, something unexpected happens. Instead of bloodshed, a fragile bond begins to form between the assassin and her target.
As their connection deepens, Nine begins to question everything she was taught. Torn between her father's will and her own emerging desires, she must decide: will she complete her mission and kill Caitlyn, or will she defy her purpose and forge her own destiny? But in the world of Piltover and Zaun, love is just another weakness to be exploited, and betrayal lurks in the shadows.
When the inevitable blade falls, will they find each other again-or will the mission end in heartbreak and blood?

Zaun has a way of shaping people- molding them out of grit, grime, and the unyielding will to survive. Shark was no exception. Born amidst the smog-choked streets and rusted spires of the undercity, she grew up with the scent of grease and danger in her lungs. A fighter, sharp as the broken glass that littered the ground, she earned her name with a ferocity that could cut through any who dared stand in her way. Once, Shark had stood by Vander's side. She had believed in his dream of peace, of making Zaun something more than just Piltover's shadow. His bar, The Last Drop, had been a refuge where she could momentarily forget the cold weight of survival. Vander treated her like family, and for a time, she believed in him like family too. But the line between loyalty and ambition is thin in a place like Zaun. When Silco came whispering promises of power, freedom, and a future where Zaun would no longer kneel, Shark listened. She saw in him a fire that Vander lacked; a willingness to burn everything and forge something new. It wasn't an easy choice, but in a city of hard choices, it felt inevitable. Shark tells herself she did what she had to. That Zaun's future is worth the blood on her hands. And maybe even the blood of the Firelights that keep standing in her way. Especially one of them.
Silco X Reader : His Quite Kept
Rescued from captivity, you are a frail, chronically ill girl whose silence hides a sharp mind. In Silco's world of smoke, shimmer, and rebellion, you become an unexpected presence-watched by Silco with the same weight he gives Jinx, tangled in Jinx's chaotic affection, and caught in the tension of Zaun's fight against Piltover. You don't speak often, but when you do, your words shift everything: Silco's plans, Jinx's loyalty, even Zaun's future. As Piltover tightens its grip and the Firelights strike harder, you find yourself no longer just a shadow in the corner-you are Silco's strategist, his ghost child, and a target. In a city that devours the weak, survival is never guaranteed. But sometimes, silence can be the sharpest weapon of all. (Silco x sick!OC/Reader. A slow-burn story of fragility, survival, and trust without words.) Based on Arcane: League of Legends (LoL). ⚠️ Disclaimer: I do not own Arcane, its characters, or the original story plot.

Two-Sided (Arcane x Male Reader)
The people of The Underground were never the luckiest pair. Only a special few were lucky, lucky enough to get the privileges of the topside. The (L/n)s were an example of such lucky people of Zaun. But even then they wouldn't be safe in Piltover. Vander, the brother of the woman who married (F/n) (L/n), warned his sister that they wouldn't be safe and how right he was when the family was murdered by corrupted enforcers. The child managed to defend himself but even it was self defense, it wouldn't be seen that way to the people of Piltover. They accused the boy for murdering just for the heck of it. But it was in that particular moment the boy knew that the topside will always think their better then the Underground. And with that knowledge he swore to avenge his parents by detroying the councilors of the oh so great Piltover. After escaping a death sentence and leaving his first love and friend behind, he seeks for his uncle in Zaun's Undercity and hopes to avenge his parents when he gets stronger.

The Fangs Of Zaun(Arcane x Male Reader)
Long before Piltover and Zaun became the cities everyone knows today, there was something far darker lurking in the shadows-something the people only whispered about. They called it the Predator. Bodies were found drained of blood, throats torn open as if by some savage beast. Fear spread through both cities until Piltover finally decided to act. After years of hunting, the trail led to a hidden castle buried deep beneath Zaun. Inside lived a family unlike any other. Enforcers stormed the place, cutting down every last one of them after a brutal fight. Two more years of bloody research gave Piltover their answers-weaknesses, methods of killing, ways to end the nightmare once and for all. Or so they thought. What no one knew was that the clan's leader had hidden his youngest son away, sealing him inside a coffin of eternal sleep. The boy would never age, never die, only wait. And now... he wakes. Y/n opens his eyes after a century of silence, his body untouched by time, his heart consumed by rage. Piltover may believe they erased his bloodline from Runeterra- but he's here to remind them that monsters don't die so easily.
Prison Break
The most wanted criminal in Piltover, the infamous Jinx, is finally captured, much thanks to the sheriff's partner, Vi. Unfortunately, it happened accidentally, and just as Vi had learned her sister was seriously ill, and was finally starting to get through to her. To make things even worse, she then learns from Caitlyn that her sister will almost certainly be sentenced to death. But Vi isn't ready to give up on her sister so easily, especially not because of some topside laws. Besides, it's just concrete walls keeping Jinx in, and... she doesn't call Vi Fat Hands for nothing... This book took me WAY longer to write than I thought it would. I published a preview book for it as the second Arcane work I put out, and four books later, here it is. Better late than never, I guess. I hope you enjoy it. If you want to read the preview book first, it's called, "Intruder (Vi + reader) ". Content Warning: Visceral depictions of mental breakdowns, PTSD flashbacks, physical violence.Complete

Now, in the shadows, Nine wakes rebuilt, reborn, and changed in ways no one can understand. The chains that bound her are gone... or so she believes. Yet freedom has a price, and in the veins of the girl once called Nine, something darker flows something that could either save her... or consume her entirely. Caitlyn lives unaware, haunted by memories she can't let go of. Does she still grieve the dead? Or has she, after all these years, found the strength to move on? And if Nine stood before her now, would she even recognize the woman she's become? Their lives remain tethered by fate, their birthdays forever shared, their paths carved by a single truth they are children of purpose. Whether they walk toward reunion or ruin... only time will tell.Complete
