Viktor was quiet for a moment. A long moment. I looked up at him. His eyes were closed.

"Did you fall asleep?" I whispered.

"No," he whispered back.

"Why are your eyes closed?"

"I'm just...trying to remember how this feels."

"Oh," I said, trying my best to put my thoughts together. "How does this feel?"

"It feels like I wish I met you sooner, too," Viktor's chest resonated against my ear.

I found myself closing my eyes, trying to remember the feeling, too.

Of Gears and Guilt [Viktor x OC] by gl0ssg1rl
8 parts Ongoing Mature
⤷ In which one girl seeks the truth behind a poison no one dares name-and finds an unlikely partner in a man with demons of his own. ~⋆✴︎˚。⋆⚙︎⋆✴︎˚。⋆⚙︎⋆✴︎˚。⋆~ Valery Windbell was never meant to set foot in Piltover, let alone earn a place at its most prestigious academy. Born in the depths of Zaun, she arrives with oil-stained notebooks, a cracked pocket watch, and a secret mission: to unravel the mysteries of Shimmer, the very substance that fractured her family and haunts her past. Surrounded by brilliance, ambition, and dangerous secrets, Valery's quiet obsession sets her apart... and draws the attention of Viktor, a brilliant scientist haunted by his own past in the Undercity. He sees something in Valery; something reckless, curious, and burning with the same questions that keep him up at night. As forbidden research and late-night experiments bring them closer, a partnership forms. One that could lead to salvation or destruction. In a world where science walks hand-in-hand with power, and curiosity can be a death sentence, Valery must decide how far she's willing to go to uncover the truth no one wants to see. Some knowledge changes the world. Some knowledge gets you killed. ~⋆✴︎˚。⋆⚙︎⋆✴︎˚。⋆⚙︎⋆✴︎˚。⋆~ Started: 07.22.25 Completed: ?? ~⋆✴︎˚。⋆⚙︎⋆✴︎˚。⋆⚙︎⋆✴︎˚。⋆~ top rankings: #1: #viktorxreader (Nov2025) #3: viktor (Nov2025) #33: lol (Nov2025) ~⋆✴︎˚。⋆⚙︎⋆✴︎˚。⋆⚙︎⋆✴︎˚。⋆~ All rights reserved to Arcane!

Viktor X Reader. by ladyofbertilak
36 parts Complete Mature
She/her reader. You are a young journalist from Zaun, working for The Piltover Globe. You witnessed the explosion of Jayce's lab from your friend's apartment. Your redaction board asks you to investigate on the matter, while the Academy tries to hide as much info as possible. But in a way or another, you meet Viktor, and a few things you did not even expect start to unravel. TW anxiety (mild but still)/death/mourning The "Fringes" idea is not mine, it comes from @Berserkitty and their wonderful fanfic "Undercity Development Section" (I'm sure you read it, if you haven't please do, it's fantastic). I imagine Y/N to be around 24/25, same age as Viktor in season 1 but that's purely personal projection, feel free to change that in your head ! Usual thing: English is not my first language and I tried to make the story as accessible as possible. Please, pleaaase tell me if I made any typos, if some sentences do not feel right or anything, I want to make the smoothest experience as possible for you readers. I will be updating the story regularly (at least I'll try, I have a competitive exam next February so...). I haven't found a title yet, if any comes up into your mind please suggest it :) Also, I decided every chapter should be named after a piece of literary work I like, each reference is at the end of the chapter ! Enjoy ! :) /Disclaimer\ SPOILERS SEASON 2 ARCANE This is more or less set in the alternate universe pictured in Arcane season 2 (I made a few changes to the narrative, don't be surprised if it doesn't exactly match what is pictured in episode 7)

6 parts Ongoing Mature
> Male Reader > Enforcer Reader > Slight Romance . . . When I think of death... the word that always comes to mind is abruptness. A sudden and unceremonious end. One second, I imagine myself breathing, thinking, existing, and the next... Poof. Gone. Just like that. No fanfare, no dramatic final words, no profound realizations... just the quiet passing of an insignificant life that, in turn, leads to an insignificant death, destined to be forgotten by a world that never noticed it in the first place. But... I was wrong. I never could have anticipated that death would be so different from what I had imagined. I never expected it to be so... Slow... Every passing moment stretched unbearably, dragging me deeper into an agonizing limbo where the release I expected never came. Painful... With every fiber of my being screaming out, not for life but for an end... any end, to this unbearable suffering. And yet... Boring... There I was... Watching as memories of my life flashed before my eyes... Except... They weren't MY memories... These strange memories invaded my mind, mixing into my own memories. Which memories were mine? Which memories were not? My mind felt like a tangled thread, every thought twisting and colliding with the next in a chaotic... FLASH. I have never felt so... Irrelevant. So insignificant. Each second felt like an eternity as I struggled to make sense of a world that seemed... Fictional? And all of this... all the pain, all the waiting, all the suffocating stillness, the visions... happened because of a single moment. A single spark. A single kaboom that changed my life... And possibly... The future. 🗝️
