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)

Of Gears and Guilt [Viktor x OC] by gl0ssg1rl
10 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: viktor (Mar2026) #1: #viktorxreader (Nov2025) #33: #lol (Nov2025) ~⋆✴︎˚。⋆⚙︎⋆✴︎˚。⋆⚙︎⋆✴︎˚。⋆~ All rights reserved to Arcane!

Learning, tinkering, exploring new ways to hone her skills. The taut pressures to be better turned her brittle coal into diamonds- and her efforts eventually paid off. Her discoveries in astronomy brought numerous opportunities for cultural development, earning her a shiny new spot in the Academy and a chance to place amongst some of the greatest minds Piltover has to offer. Unbeknownst to the exalted council, she holds a past that could bring all she and her family have worked for to ruins. . . . (My first story!! I'm excited to put stories onto paper (digital space??) finally. I really 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 hope this turns out well, with luck I can execute the story I envision with minor obstacles. I also have no idea if I should schedule chapter releases since this is just a project I'm doing for gits and shiggles. Have a lovely read!) Made with the help of @livissworld.

-------------------------------------------------------------- The name of the story has changed from Till What Is Hidden Will Be Revealed to The Secrets of Tomorrow -------------------------------------------------------------- When you were young, your family moved from Ionia to Piltover, hoping to make their dream of creating inventions that could change the world a reality. But things weren't as simple as they imagined. Without a prestigious family name, your parents ended up working for the influential Talis family, and that's where you met Jayce-a brilliant and ambitious boy with a dream of creating Hextech. Quickly, the two of you became inseparable, united by your shared vision of a future where magic and technology could be harnessed together. As you both grew older, it became increasingly difficult to keep your family's secret hidden. But you held onto the hope that one day, when Hextech became a reality, you'd be able to share your hidden secret with the world. Along the way, you found not only allies who believed in your and Jayce's dream, but also a love that blossomed with a boy from Zaun. This is the story of how you and Jayce made the impossible possible, and discovered love in the process. ------------------------------------------------------------- I don't own Arcane or any of the characters. -------------------------------------------------------------- The story might have spelling and grammatical errors as I am dyslexic, I know that such things can be annoying! So, sorry in advance. -------------------------------------------------------------- Story started: Nov 30, 2021 Story finished: Sep 26, 2025
