Iron and Ivory || Mel Medarda x Fem OC

Zaun is a place of shadows-broken streets, broken people, and survival at any cost. Riven Blacke knows it well. A fighter forged by grime and violence, she's done what it takes to endure, to serve, to live. But when Silco sends her to Piltover's Progress Day fundraiser, hidden behind a polished suit and a false name, Riven finds herself in a world of gold and secrets.

She plans to deliver the message and leave. Clean. Simple.

But nothing about Mel Medarda is simple.

Sharp-tongued, unshakable, and too observant, the golden councilor sees through Riven's carefully constructed mask with a single glance. Their meeting sets off a dangerous game of wits and manipulation-one that threatens to unravel everything Riven has fought for.

Caught between Silco's ambition and Piltover's power, Riven must navigate a world that was never meant for her. And as Mel pulls her deeper into the gilded web of politics, power, and temptation, Riven begins to wonder-
Is she the weapon, or is she the target?
