Like Minds (Viktor Arcane X Reader)

In the gleaming City of Progress, where innovation and ambition reign supreme, she is a shadow- sent to infiltrate Piltover's elite. Her mission is simple: uncover the secrets of the scientists attempting to fabricate magic, a power that could tilt the balance between the twin cities forever.

Her motives, however, are far from selfless. With her life hanging by a thread, the forbidden studies she investigates may be her only chance to survive. In a world of flamboyant indulgence and desperate ambition, trust is a luxury she cannot afford.

Yet, when she crosses paths with Viktor, her carefully constructed detachment begins to waver. Torn between loyalty to her mission, her own survival, and a growing affection for someone who might be her undoing, she must confront the ultimate question: when magic has the power to corrupt both morality and mortality, where does the line between saving oneself and losing one's soul truly lie?
