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.

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
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.

Zaun has a way of shaping people- molding them out of grit, grime, and the unyielding will to survive. Shark was no exception. Born amidst the smog-choked streets and rusted spires of the undercity, she grew up with the scent of grease and danger in her lungs. A fighter, sharp as the broken glass that littered the ground, she earned her name with a ferocity that could cut through any who dared stand in her way. Once, Shark had stood by Vander's side. She had believed in his dream of peace, of making Zaun something more than just Piltover's shadow. His bar, The Last Drop, had been a refuge where she could momentarily forget the cold weight of survival. Vander treated her like family, and for a time, she believed in him like family too. But the line between loyalty and ambition is thin in a place like Zaun. When Silco came whispering promises of power, freedom, and a future where Zaun would no longer kneel, Shark listened. She saw in him a fire that Vander lacked; a willingness to burn everything and forge something new. It wasn't an easy choice, but in a city of hard choices, it felt inevitable. Shark tells herself she did what she had to. That Zaun's future is worth the blood on her hands. And maybe even the blood of the Firelights that keep standing in her way. Especially one of them.![[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. 🗝️

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.
Threads of Control
In the depths of Zaun's underworld, your name is whispered like a shadow. A thief of secrets, a broker of whispers, you've built your reputation on information-slipping through alleys, taverns, and backroom deals with eyes sharp enough to cut and ears tuned to the slightest tremor of betrayal. But power attracts danger, and one night, you cross the wrong line. A job gone sideways entangles you with Silco's operation-the most dangerous man in Zaun's rising empire. You expect death, chains, or worse. What you don't expect is the way he looks at you-not as prey, but as something useful. Something worth keeping. Silco draws you deeper into his world, where loyalty is currency and betrayal is a death sentence. And in that world waits Jinx-a fragile storm of chaos and brilliance. Somehow, she latches onto you, her small hands clinging as if you could shield her from the madness. Against your better judgment, you become her anchor, the "mother" Silco cannot be. But the deeper you fall into Silco's orbit, the harder it is to tell where survival ends and desire begins. You are his spy, his confidant, his foil-and perhaps his undoing. Because in Zaun, love is never gentle. It is obsession. It is power. And once Silco decides you are his, there is no escape.

At least until an unexpectedly powerful visitor knocks on your door and demands that you resign from your job as a good Samaritan. However, your past has taught you serenity and constancy, much to Silco's displeasure.Complete
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...
