Chamomile kisses - Chapter 10

Viktor (Arcane) x Fem!Reader

As days passed, (Y/n) delved deeper into her research on the peculiar yellow flower from the Zaun forest. The potential of this discovery was exhilarating, and her mind buzzed with the myriad of possibilities. She tirelessly analyzed the properties of the pollen, noting its vasodilative effects on the human body. This was groundbreaking, not just for herbal medicine but for modern medicine as well. The medicinal applications seemed endless, ranging from treating high blood pressure to addressing heart failure, and who knew what other conditions could benefit from this newfound knowledge.

Yet, amidst this scientific excitement, (Y/n) couldn't help but wonder about Viktor's absence. Had he been avoiding her? Or was he preoccupied with his own work? The uncertainty nagged at her, but she knew her research was crucial, so she pressed on.

As her findings continued to flourish, (Y/n) took a significant step by scheduling a meeting with the council. She hoped to persuade them to allocate resources for a greenhouse at the academy, a space where she could further develop her discoveries and adapt them for various medical applications. It was a bold move, but she believed in the potential of her work to transform the world of medicine.

The day of the meeting had arrived, and (Y/n) stood resolutely before the council members. The faces of Bolbok, Kiramman, Hoskel, Medarda, Salo, Shoola, and Heimerdinger stared back at her, a mix of anticipation and curiosity in their expressions. (Y/n) had garnered considerable support from them in the past, but today she was requesting a substantial increase in funding, a decision that would carry a significant cost.

Viktor, positioned among the onlookers, watched with a cold and unyielding gaze.

Undeterred, (Y/n) began her presentation, outlining the importance and potential impact of her research. She passionately described the vasodilative properties of the Zaun forest flower and how it could revolutionize both herbal and modern medicine. The council listened intently, and as the room gradually settled, Heimerdinger, the most senior council member, voiced his support for (Y/n)'s project.

"I don't see why not to grant this," Heimerdinger said, his eyes twinkling with curiosity. "Unless anyone has any objections, we will provide the necessary funding."

A spark of joy lit up (Y/n)'s face upon hearing these words. She was so close to achieving her dream, but that dream was suddenly cast into doubt by Viktor's sharp voice. He stood up, taking the opportunity to voice his numerous objections.

Viktor vehemently argued against (Y/n)'s herbal remedies, denouncing them as pseudoscience that had no place within the academy. He claimed that such funding could be better utilized in more worthwhile areas of research, dismissing her work as a stain on true scientific progress.

The atmosphere in the council chamber became tense as Viktor launched into his objections, his words a sharp contrast to Heimerdinger's earlier support.

"You can't seriously be considering funding this nonsense!" Viktor exclaimed, his voice dripping with disdain as he pointed at (Y/n) and her presentation. "Herbal remedies have no place in our pursuit of true scientific advancement. We should be allocating our resources to projects that actually matter."

(Y/n) bristled at Viktor's words, her frustration evident. "Viktor, I've presented evidence of the potential benefits of this research. It could save lives, revolutionize our approach to medicine—"

Viktor interrupted, his tone cutting. "What you're proposing is a waste of valuable resources. We need to focus on technological advancements, not rely on outdated practices."

Council members exchanged glances, some appearing torn by the debate unfolding before them. Hoskel, known for his pragmatism, spoke up, addressing Viktor. "While we appreciate your perspective, Viktor, we should consider all avenues of research. If (Y/n) believes this could yield promising results, it's worth exploring."

Viktor scowled but didn't back down. "You're all blinded by sentimentality. This is about science, not feelings."

(Y/n) shot back, her voice determined. "And science is about progress, innovation, and the pursuit of knowledge. Closing off potential avenues of research is a disservice to our commitment to advancement."

The debate continued, the room filled with passionate arguments from both sides. It was clear that this decision would have a lasting impact on the academy's direction and (Y/n)'s future.

The room seemed to hang on a precipice as (Y/n) and Viktor locked eyes, their argument escalating. Heimerdinger's voice, when it came, was a bellow that echoed through the chamber. "Enough!"

The council members fell into immediate silence, their attention drawn to the diminutive yordle at the center of the room. He gave Viktor a brief, sympathetic glance, knowing the inner turmoil his protege must be experiencing. "Viktor, my dear boy," Heimerdinger began in a voice that was both gentle and firm, "we value your concerns. Science, after all, thrives on skepticism and debate. However, we must also consider the potential benefits to the academy. The revenue generated from (Y/n)'s research could fund countless projects for generations to come."

Heimerdinger turned his gaze towards (Y/n), a twinkle of approval in his eyes. "And that's why, (Y/n)," he addressed her, "you will be granted the permission and funding to continue your work."

Viktor tried to interject, his frustration palpable, but Heimerdinger cut him off with a raised hand. "Enough," he reiterated, his voice commanding. "This session is over."

With those words, the council members began to disperse, leaving behind a defeated Viktor and a triumphant (Y/n). It was a moment of victory for her, yet the growing divide between her and Viktor couldn't be ignored, casting a shadow over her elation.

As the council meeting concluded, (Y/n) couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Triumph coursed through her veins, the sweet taste of victory lingering on her lips. She had won this battle for now, securing the funding and permission to further her research. It was a significant step forward in her quest to revolutionize medicine.

However, she couldn't ignore the heavy atmosphere that had settled in the room, much of it emanating from Viktor. His defeat was palpable, and his resentful glare bore into her back as she made her way out of the council chamber. The divide between them had deepened, a vast chasm of opposing beliefs and priorities.

Outside the meeting room, (Y/n) couldn't help but ponder the cost of her victory. Her once-friendly interactions with Viktor had devolved into bitter arguments and icy silence. The camaraderie they had once shared seemed irreparably shattered.

Jayce, who had been observing the proceedings from the sidelines, approached (Y/n) with a congratulatory smile. "That was quite the battle in there," he remarked, clearly impressed.

(Y/n) returned his smile, though it was tinged with sadness. "Yes, i suppose…" she sighed, casting a glance back at the council chamber where Viktor remained, a solitary figure surrounded by fading echoes of dissent.

With the victory she had long sought now in her grasp, (Y/n) couldn't help but wonder if it was worth the growing chasm between them. The path of progress had a price, and she had just taken a significant step down that road, leaving a deep divide in her wake.

me waiting for my writer’s block to fuck off and leave me alone so i can finish this chapter:

#my creativity is just so dead rn and it makes me want to crawl out of my own skin #i’ve been waiting MONTHS to finally have a little bit of free time to breathe and catch up on writing stuff #and naturally now that i have i am so mentally and emotionally drained i can barely string a sentence together #i feel so distant and detached from my characters #and yes i know it’ll pass #but i just feel so caught in this headspace rn and needed to vent #i’m SO close to finishing this chapter for good but i have well and truly fallen at the final hurdle #the perfectionism has got me #ugh #also if anyone reading this is worried about four walls being updated #please don’t #i literally circle through this headspace every single chapter #and it hasn’t stopped me yet #(and it never will either. i couldn’t give up on this fic if i tried) #but it’s just hitting me particularly hard this last week #why is writing such an agonising process sometimes #anyway #enough rambling from me for one night #i’ll drag myself back to my laptop and see if i can work some magic #wish me luck #writing stuff #lulu posts

Spot (furious but panicked while Miles, glowing with gentle blue electricity with a lifeless Gwen Stacy draped bridal-style in his arms, determinedly turns to make his exit): Spiderman, stop! You can't do this to me! You can't-(Miles, without a flinch or even a sideways glance, swings his right fist up and punches Spot square in the face, leaving a crumpled crevice from the villain's forehead to chin. He keeps walking with Gwen, paying no mind to his enemy as he moves on towards his next step, even when Spot continues to speak, albeit muffled)-fine, okay-(the crumple unfolds and Spot's head returns to as normal as it was before)-okay, well I deserved that. (he turns towards Miles again) M-m-Miles-can we talk? Your dad. He's a fun guy, right? So...maybe you could put in a word with him, and ya kinda, kind of blow this whole thing off, ya know? (looks down at) Gwen! (grabs ahold of her head and pushes it towards Miles, as if mimicking her talking, oblivious to the rage erupting on Miles' face) Gwen, talk to him, lil' schmooze and-(Spot realizes his mistake far too late as Miles finishes a superpowered punch that would put Miguel O'Hara's to shame, sending the screaming villain soaring through the air into the multiversial depths below).

I have long believed that there has never been a career, in any fictional universe, as inherently thankless, fruitless, and utterly hopeless as that of the Hylian Archeologist.

This only reinforces that to me. I unironically love this explanation. I love that it comes alongside Zelda being a Hylian archeologist alongside multiple supporting characters.

“Sometimes the things you study abruptly disappear. It just happens. You try intensely to understand what they are before that happens, because no matter how much you understand any given subject there will always be far, far more mysteries than you can even comprehend. This probably wasn’t the first time and it won’t be the last. How many ancient civilizations came before this that likewise disappeared without a trace, long before you or anyone you know was ever born? You don’t know. You will never know. Those records probably disappeared too.”

#loz #zelda #legend of zelda #tears of the kingdom #totk #this is minor enough I don’t think it needs spoilers #no but seriously this… genuinely explains a lot to me? #like of course there’s no record of Wind Waker or the Minish they probably disappeared too #how old is Hyrule? legitimately unknowable and unfathomable. too many records have VANISHED FROM EXISTENCE. #this is I’m sure infuriating if you hadn’t long since passed through the stages of grief looking at the Zelda timeline into acceptance #but I’ve genuinely been incorporating Unraveled’s Zelda Monopoly Time Break explanation into my headcanon because why the fuck not #so like. ‘everyone just rapidly comes to terms with things when the ancient tech spontaneously vanish’ just checks out to me. #except sometimes it doesn’t because Purah clearly made the new towers out of the old ones #and has a couple dead Guardians as decorations but like. #don’t worry about it!

you can never make me hate sokka. Idk what he said to chang was mean lmfao he deserved it. are we really expecting a deeply sexual and emotionally traumatized 15 yo to take it well that one of the adults he trusted actually kinda sorta knew what was going on but was too blinded (by his own trauma which sokka knows NOTHING about) to do anything about it? chang told him to unload on him and sokka did. they could never make me hate you pookie

yeahhhhh Sokkas reaction was valid but I do agree Chang didn’t deserve it entirely! I do support Sokka as well in the way he handles his trauma, especially because the poor kid bottled it up for so long & now that he can’t control it and it’s spewing everywhere! Haha

luckily he seems to have decided he wants to process things better & start making the changes he has to in order to be better! Now if only we could get Zuko to do the same thing lol…

thanks for the ask pooki-anon

#I’m glad you get it! #I get so eye twitchy when people comment about how sokka needs to chill #HOW ABOUT HE DOESNT #OK??? how about he just RAGES #Poor kid has dead mom trauma & dad abandonment issues #& THEN all the trauma from LIAB #we’re lucky sokka hasn’t gone off the deep end #& joined zuko in the trenches! #Don’t worry we’re going to work on pulling zuko out of there! One agonizing step at a time! #Thanks anon for the ask #Pookie anon #Pooki-anon #<- I don’t remember how I tagged it lol #Liab #ITF #leaving it all behind #ask
