In the undercity of Zaun, where danger lurks in every corner and survival is a constant battle, two souls are about to embark on a journey neither of them anticipated. She's an independent and resilient woman, used to the shadows and chaos that define life in Zaun. He's Silco-an enigmatic figure, distant and controlled, a man who's built walls around his heart to protect himself from a world that's never shown him mercy.
But when an unexpected connection pulls them together, their bond shifts in a way neither can deny. What begins as a complicated mix of tension, trust, and shared history slowly transforms into something deeper-a force that neither of them can escape.
As the city around them continues to burn with conflict, their relationship grows, torn between the shadows of their pasts and the stars of an uncertain future. But with their feelings tangled in secrecy and the weight of their choices hanging over them, the line between trust and betrayal becomes razor-thin. Will they find a way to be together, or will the world they live in pull them apart?
Between Shadows and Stars is a slow-burn romance set against the dark backdrop of Zaun, where love and loyalty are tested by the very dangers that threaten to tear them apart. A story of forbidden connection, quiet passion, and the choice between living in the shadows or daring to reach for the stars.

Zaun has always demanded sacrifice, and you were willing to work for its future as Sevika's right hand. But when you cross paths with Silco, the self-proclaimed Eye of Zaun, your world tilts on its axis. He sees something in you-a kindred spirit, a valuable asset, something worth possessing.

As you navigate the dangerous politics of the undercity and the growing shadow of Piltover's wrath, one truth becomes clear-Silco doesn't just want you at his side. He wants you forever. And he'll make sure you never belong to anyone else.Complete

ZAUN || A Percy Jackson x Arcane Crossover
In the underbelly of Zaun, Vi fights ghosts she can't punch and memories she can't outrun. After a falling out with Caitlyn and a city that no longer feels like home, she's unraveling-one reckless brawl at a time. Across worlds, Percy Jackson is no longer a hero-just a boy with a broken heart, a shattered legacy, and powers he didn't ask for. Branded a traitor, abandoned by the gods, he drifts into the chaos of another universe, trying not to drown in it. When their paths collide-violently-they find themselves in a fight neither can win, and a silence neither knows how to break. But beneath blood and bruises, a quiet understanding forms. One night, one conversation, one impossible connection between two souls too scarred to be saved-but still strong enough to hold each other for a little while. This isn't a love story. It's a war story. And after that one night, they stop fighting alone.
A Second Chance - Ekko x OC - Fanfiction
In a world shattered by pain and conflict, Ekko, a young man with a past as heavy as a collapsed universe, seeks to distance himself from everything he knows. Driven by Kael, an old friend who unexpectedly extends a helping hand, he finds refuge in a remote village, far from the ashes of his former life. It is there that he meets Laïra, a young woman with an equally dark history, who hides her wounds behind smiles and disarming curiosity. Surrounded by kind-hearted souls, but haunted by their own ghosts, they observe each other and slowly, clumsily, begin to warm to one another. But the outside world has not said its final word. Between secrets, dangers, and the need to confront their fears, how far will they go to save themselves... and rebuild? This story has been translated from French to English, I was help by AI because my english isn't perfect. I wanted to reach a wider audience with my story and the characters that are dear to me, which is why I decided to translate it. So if there are any grammar or consistency errors, feel free to let me know! This fanfiction is based on the series Arcane. If you haven't seen the show, you might not understand everything. For fans of the series, this story takes place after the end of the show, so after season 2. I know many are fans of the Jinx/Powder and Ekko storyline (myself included), but I've decided to consider here that Jinx is truly dead, and thus create a new character, Laïra. I didn't feel ready to write about Jinx, who has a very complex personality. I hope you'll still enjoy the story of my characters, which come from the heart. The story takes place in the Arcane universe, which itself is based on the League of Legends universe, created by Riot Games in collaboration with Fortiche Production. However, most of the characters are products of my imagination. If you have any suggestions or spot any spelling mistakes, I'm open to feedback, as long as it's not mean-spirited, of course. Happy reading!
Another "Brother" (Arcane/Jinx x Male reader)
A book based on the show Arcane League of Legends. Where Y/n was taken in by Vander just like Vi and Powder. You share a similar age with Powder and the two of you along with Ekko are best friends. I highly recommend watching the show before reading but I should write in a way where you shouldn't be too lost if you have not. (if i dont get lazy) continue descriptions in the introduction...

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. This is purely fanfiction work.

Shadows & Gunfire 2
Six years. That's how long it's been since Caitlyn Kiramman last saw her since the blood, the screaming, and the moment that shattered everything. Six years since Nine, the girl she loved, was ripped away... her life stolen by the very man who called himself her father. But death does not always keep its grip. 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![[sᴀᴍᴘʟᴇ] 𝐄𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐄 [ᴀʀᴄᴀɴᴇ x ᴍᴀʟᴇ ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ] 18+](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/385464419-256-k572907.jpg)

> 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. 🗝️
