Arcane (Silco) AU
Pretty Woman x Arcane 
I am literally in love with the movie Pretty Woman (1990) with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. And I was like, that but Silco so I wrote some of it.
Silco as Edward, reader as Vivian, Sevika as Barney, Finn as Stuckey.
Summary of Pretty Woman for those who don't know: A dude named Edward hires a sex worker named Vivian for the night, the next morning he decides to hire her for the whole week while he's in town. And then it becomes a rom com type of stuff.
I have no clue if I will continue this or if people will even read this but yeah. There's no NSFW in this specific oneshot but if I do continue to write this there most likely will be. I also wrote this as a female reader cause I'm afab so. Enjoy!
Part 2
The scene below is Silco deciding to hire the sex worker (you) for the week.
“I have a business proposition for you.” His voice jolts you, arms flinching away from the leg you at the moment had been putting lotion on. You had only spent one night with him but you could already tell he was quite good at entering a room unheard.
“What would you like?” You reply quickly, a small polite smile held on your face. Feeling half in fear he was going to tell you to hurry up and get out. The other in a spike of adrenaline.
“I’m going to need someone as my,” He pauses, looking annoyed at his next forced choice of words come out “date until Saturday, I’d like you to spend the week with me.”
“..Really?” The small smile growing into a grin, as the man in front of you crosses the room closer to you.
“Yes. I’d like to hire you as an employee.” You listen intently, waiting for a catch of some sort yet there seems to be none. “I will pay you to be at my beck and call.” 
You pause and think it over, this was almost like striking gold in your.. career. A highly sought after man of the Undercity asking you to stay with him for the week. Paid too.
“Look, I’d love to be your beck and call girl but um, you are quite the wealthy, handsome man. You could get a million girls free.” Questioning on why he would choose you, when any other sex worker could.
“I want a professional. I don’t need any loose ends this week.” Quick and to the point reply which had been expected.
“If you’re talking 24 hours a day, it’s gonna cost you.” Your shield of fake confidence appears as you cross your arms in front of your chest. Preparing for what could be the deal breaker of the situation. Money.
“Ahh, yes, of course. How about a ballpark figure of how much?” 
You run the numbers over in your head, not very well practiced in this part of the job.
“6 full nights and days too, hmm, 4000.”
“6 nights at 300, that’s 1800.”
“You want days too. Not to mention, you are Silco of the Undercity. I could be risking future clientele and myself.”
“2000.”
“3000.” You doubt the number in your mind, the farthest he would push it had to be less than 2500.
“Done.” Answering so quick it almost felt like a shotgun blast.
“Holy shit!” A laugh arises out of you, arms dropping immediately from your chest to cover your mouth in shock.
“I am assuming that’s a yes.”
“Yes, of course!” It comes out rushed and excitable, you shake your head quickly. Clearing your throat before fixing your response. “Ahem, yes sir.”
“We will be going out in the evenings so you’ll need something to wear.” He leaves the bathroom and you follow. Watching him grab his coat to seemingly head out, leaving you alone.
“Like what?”
“Nothing too flashy, not too seductive either. Conservative, understand?” He hands you a small plum coloured pouch, inside gold coins for you to spend. You swallow the lump in your throat, never had you once held this amount in one day, maybe even in your whole lifetime. 
“In other words.. boring?”
“Elegant. Any questions?”
“Can I call you Si?”
“Absolutely not.” You smile in response, knowing full well you’d never call him that anyway. 
“Uh Silco, sir?” He turns back to you, his face basically blank. Eye contact had always made you nervous but this was on a whole new level. Like he could see through and past you, he knew everything you were made of.
“I say this with the utmost respect, you are willing to be seen with me? I am not necessarily young but it is very obvious there are some..years between us.” You tread lightly, for a man of his age it could be a touchy subject. And you were not trying to get fired on your first official day.
“I would not be so worried about that, I doubt others would comment on it. However, I didn’t think it would bother you.” You could hear the smirk in his voice yet you still felt compelled to answer.
“Oh absolutely not sir. I was just,” You pause searching for the right word yet it doesn’t come to you. Just shaking your head as the end of the sentence. He nods as he nears the door to leave. 
“I would’ve stayed for 2000.” He pauses as his hand brushes the door knob, looking back to you.
“I would’ve paid for 4.” Your smile comes back on your face at his counter.
“Baby, I’m gonna treat you so nice. You’re never gonna wanna let me go.”
“3000, 6 days. And I will let you go.” And with that he exits, leaving you

i feel a sense of dread when the writers confessed that jinx's character questions the thought 'can you forgive a murderer?' 'cause then inevitably you'd have to talk about ab her redemption bcs why does she need to be redeemed again? because she has no problem killing people, fundamentally because she has little empathy except for vi silco (maybe ekko), and is morally corrupt, the two things, especially the latter, that is part of what makes her so complex -- but has to be removed because they're in the way of her deserving forgiveness?? i dont know if thats the writers' idea for jinx's redemption but if it is, not gonna look forward to that lol
no same zhhsbznzm and I mean. man, this show is based on league of legends I don't expect them to be questioning nature of what makes us humans and get that complex yk so I accept that I might have to sit through a half assed redemption arc or questionable punishment arc, I'll worry about it when we even get s2 release date hdnsbsj
like idk what arcane will do, I can figure it what I THINK they might do based on past interviews (and mind you, a lot can change in writing between then and now) and think about I would do. and I wouldn't make it a story about forgiveness where you have to atone for your sins or even where characters like caitlyn are forced into some sort of forgiveness journey. sorry to bring up fuckinggg bojack but it's the only show that comes to my mind that did that - but bojack doesn't redeem himself at the end, he's not even forgiven by anyone. he continuously puts himself in a position where redemption could happen, where he wants to be forgiven and absolved of wrongdoings but in the end there's a difference between redemption and recovery. redemption means atonement, means forgiveness, means punishment has been applied. recovery means choosing to do better regardless of anything, just because it's the only way to claim responsibility over the things you've done - and yeah, in the end it feels like there's no punishment because it makes the character better and happier too
or yk I would make it a tragedy where jinx's inability to forgive herself ends up being her downfall, both are good hdhdhdj

Apologies if this is super niche, I'm a Mylo apologist and everything he does interests me. How are Mylo and Claggor in your Zaun family au? Cause like, a while back you mentioned that all of Silco's births were high risk/should have been C-section, so did the younger boys have any birth injuries/issues like Viktor did? Also, do you think Mylo gets tired of constantly getting asked what's up with the familial line cause he looks nothing like either of his parents, lol. I reckon most people just think at first glance he's adopted but nope, just funny genetics sorta thing
Not too niche at all.
And yeah Mylo is one of those genetic throwbacks. I feel like he looks EXACTLY like one of his grandparents though. Which doesn't help with random strangers wondering but Vander & Silco never have any doubts (not that they would seeing they made him but you know). I do think adoptions is pretty normal in Zaun so people so even if people assume Mylo isn’t Vander & Silco’s biologically they’re not going to comment because... he’s one of Vander & Silco’s kids (same applies to Vi & Powder). 
Mylo is actually worse off than he is in canon. Because he is the youngest biologically speaking, he SHOULD be the baby of the family (he WAS the baby for 4 years). But NO Powder is. Plus he's really awkwardly positioned age wise - Vi and Claggor are so close in age that they get along really well and want to play with each other. And Mylo wants to play with them but they don't want to play with him because he's ~2 years younger than them. And he doesn't want to play with Powder because she's... 2 years younger than him. And he tends to get into trouble the most because of that placing (Vi & Claggor will dob on him or pin things on him because they're older so can outsmart him and... Powder is the baby that can do no wrong in their parents eyes or if she does wrong than her older siblings should have done something to stop her). All of that just leads to a level of bubbling resentment and look I'm not surprised Mylo is kind of an asshole, especially to Powder. He's got it rough.
He does grow out of it (he finds his place in the family and world and what makes him stand out so he feels a lot less In Competition with his siblings) but as a kid he is a struggling and lashes out as a result. He goes more the trying to get Zaun into a governable state where people have the ability to live to their full potential. Because turns out spending his childhood feeling like he's at the bottom of the family hierarchy has left him pretty passionate about that kind of thing.
Claggor on the other hand is the happy middle child. He likes how he can somewhat fly under the radar and doesn't have the expectations/pressures the older two have nor the babying Powder gets. Funnily enough I think he grows up to follow Silco in the more political space - he grew up as the mediator within the younger four so trying to get highly passionate people to come to agreement or providing as impartial as possible advice doesn't feel all that different to him.
Some birth trauma stuff under the cut.
So Claggor was a BIG baby. Like 11 pound-something big (for reference the average baby weight at birth is typically between 6-8 pound with 7 pound-something being the sweet spot; the world record for vaginal delivery where both survive is 15 pounds 7 ounces from what I can find, apparently 1% of births are over 10 pound). And it was a long labour and delivery as a result - 2 full days of true labour (typically if you aren't close to being done within 24 hours you get a C-section in what I understand to be the modern convention), with at least 4-5 hours of pushing (3 hours is typically considered the max especially if you haven't had an epidural). So I do think Claggor has some breathing/oxygen issues at first just because of the prolonged face squishing and decreased blood flow through the placenta that happens with that long of a delivery but he did get through it and seemed fine. Probably has some long term health issues tied to it though (I want to say vision impairments and epilepsy) but nothing they can directly-directly pin on it.
Mylo was the deceptive pregnancy and birth. Everything was going fine and then Silco lost a bit more blood than he should afterwards. Like a worrying bit more blood with possibly an actual doctor involved (they did somewhat learn their lesson after the other two and probably have enough power/money to afford a doctor even if not a fancy Piltoven doctor with their hospital equipment). So Mylo was a perfectly healthy and fine baby. Just... Silco still ended up with a two-day-recovery-from-Shock afterwards.

Arcane, Season 1, Episode 5, "Everybody Wants to Be My Enemy," First Impressions!
Here things snap into place, sides are taken, and things rush toward their inevitable confrontation.
Okay, before I begin, did anyone else feel the direction on this episode was a little...weird? I don't mean within the scenes themselves; those were immaculate as always, with special attention to Jinx's shadowboxing Vi, the concert, and Jayce and Mel's lovemaking juxtaposed with Viktor's collapse. Those were just, you know...
Tumblr media
No, I mean more of the transitions between the various POV's felt a little off, especially during the music video with Imagine Dragons' gratuitous cameo. I don't know, maybe that part could have stood to have a little more care done.
Anyway.
Vi and Caitlyn have now officially met and partnered up! We get the usual odd couple feeling each other up stuff, as Vi reacquaints to Zuan after being locked up for several years. And, uh, they really don't waste time with the subtext, do they? From the wall pin to Caitlyn getting really into chatting up that one girl in the brothel to, well, the hot cupcake line.
We better get a kiss next season.
So hey, each demonstrate their respective skills, gain respect for one another, you know the drill. Of more interest is Vi coming to grips with everything she's missed while she was gone, to Silco taking over The Last Drop to learning of Powder's fate. Or rather, beating it out of Sevika in a really awesome fight. It's clear that her turning on Powder has eaten her up all this time, and she is going to be desperate to reconnect with her sister. Only thing is, will Jinx want to reconnect with her.
Especially since Silco has decided that his girl needs some therapy, which he opts to give her himself, via symbolic baptism and all that. Plus, the whole shadowboxing bit. Yeah, Jinx is not going to be all that eager to go back to being sisters.
Speaking of! I really like that we saw the funeral for the enforcers that Jinx killed. Not only does it demonstrate that yes, they were people and not just disposable cannon fodder, but showing it through Marcus's eyes serves a story purpose too. It's clear that his deal with Silco has been good for him, but with Jinx going completely off the cuff and now hurting his own people, people he did care about, he is deeply regretting it, up to seriously contemplating killing both himself and Silco in one go. Yes, that scene actually got me for a second. Will it be enough for him to pull a face turn? Maybe, but I don't see him surviving.
Speaking of which, anyone feel like his daughter is going to turn out to be one of the child champions? Just me? Okay.
Upside, Jayce continues to impress as he adapts well to his new position as councilor. Naturally, he's horrified at all the corruption that's just swept under the rug, and wastes no time pissing everyone off trying to clean it up, especially given how many powerful people are involved.
Still, he's nothing but a quick thinker, and his solution is quite brilliant: use his own reputation as an innovator for lucrative technology and sway all the powerful people with dirty dealings to trade in said dirty dealings and invest in his stuff instead, thereby cutting off criminal contacts, keeping the powerful happy, and increasing his own influence while doing it. Dude's considered the golden boy for a reason.
And obviously, Mel approves. Like, really approves.
Okay, we all saw it coming, and all I can say is...Damn, good for you, guys. Go get you some!
Though I do see this leading to his own downfall in a way, as playing the game does run the risk of compromising his integrity. The whole Mel vs. Heimerdinger as opposing influences thing is fairly evident.
Unfortunately, things aren't looking so hot for Viktor, as his condition continues to worsen. I wonder how much corruption his tainted blood is going to cause the whole hexgate thing. No doubt it will kick off his own fall to darkness, the poor guy.
