In The Deep - Part Two (Silco/F!Reader)

merman!Silco/F!Reader

1,016 Words

SFW

Part 1, Part 3

What starts as a fascination quickly turns into an obsession for both parties. As it turns out they had more in common then they first thought.

It would have been a little easy to ignore if it were a one time encounter, you’re scientific mind pondering at the mystery of the event but knowing the likelihood of ever seeing it again were slim. The river was big, its waters deep, and at the perfect point of where the river meets the ocean, the odds of encountering the same fish twice were unlikely. Besides the massive Kraken, which some days even disappeared, you are sure you'll unlikely see the mystery fish again.

But it happens again. It's the end of your day, your specimens are cooling in the fridge and you are sitting in front of the window. A small table, procured from the dump, sits beside you, Undercity triage performed on its broken leg that while it teeters the substitute leg of plastic holds. Your tea when you are not steadily sipping from it rests on said table, steam wafting from it with the scent of peppermint.

In your lap is a thick textbook of fish life and species along with more well known marine life recorded in its pages and you steadily flip through to see if you can find matching pictures and names of the fish you have seen. Your knowledge of marine life is limited to what the fishermen hook up from the river and still looking through the books pages and comparing there are a lot of fish that are simply impossible to find.

You can safely assume that the mutation had made them unrecognizable. You find bits and pieces of what they could have originally been, but it is a hash of new and unfamiliar parts that make them impossible to place. One has the right tail but the wrong color and one too many pectoral fins. One lacks the angler atop its head. Another has too many eyes. You were fascinated and imagining the likelihood that everything you had been seeing were whole new species.

That's when you saw it again. A burning and molten red eye swimming toward you from the deep and pausing just shy of the light that filtered in through the window. Its fire luminescence is too dark to reveal much more than its long, snake winding body.

You take in just how massive this creature is. By the line of its tail along it was much longer or rather taller than you were. The size of the thing, and that was only from the slight parts you could see.

"Aren't you fascinating?" You say and smile at it, quickly flipping through the book for eels and snake fish. "I wonder just what you are. Won't you come closer? I promise I won't bite." You chuckle and tip your head at it. "Although, you just might."

You know it can't hear you and likely isn't smart enough to even understand your interest in it but it does stare. You hum a small song to yourself, not minding the company at all.

And it stares and stares long enough that you flip through the entire section on eels and similar marine life. You find nothing and set your book to the side before standing and approaching the window one more time.

“Your home is just as fascinating as you are. When I was young my mom would tell me stories that her mom told her, that her mother told her, about this time when the river used to be clean. Like, clean enough people could swim in it, way before Piltover started using it as it’s personal trash can.” You ramble and lean slightly against the window trim.

“I became a scientist to try and figure out just how bad the damage was, if it was at all possible to maybe reverse it. We get a lot of our water from that river and the filters can only do so much. People get sick from it all the time. The effects it has on the human body…” You mutter and grind your teeth in anger.

“My great grandmother told me of times when the beaches were clear of plastic and waste, when the sands didn’t smell like garbage. And I want that. I think that sounds lovely.” You chortle and then frown, giving a solemn shake of your head. “It’s killing us up here but look at you.” You gesture to the creature. “Mother nature at its finest. Adapt and overcome.”

You look at it again and can’t help the yawn that crawls from your mouth. You give the fish a small wave.

"Well. I'll be out late tomorrow collecting samples at the beach. Mostly plastic and dead remains.” You mutter that last bit with a growl and then shrug before giving the creature a playful smile.

“Hey, I don't suppose you could throw some of that kelp to the shore for me, could ya?" You gesture to the tall stalk of greenery beside the window "Be really helpful if I could get my hands on a leaf or two." Greenery rarely washed up on the shore and you were wishing from a deep well for the likelihood of ever getting more. The sample you had, that you had to pay a fishman a steep amount of money for when it washed up in his net, was dried out and too brittle to work with anymore.

You had said it as a joke, just talking to yourself because you sure the fish, while smart in the way most wild predators were, couldn't understand you.

Imagine your surprise when the next day you come across leaves of kelp banked at the shore. What looks like half a stalk, just floating with the push and pull of the waves, laid out for you like a gift.

Your slack jawed and shocked, almost consider it some sort of trap before tentatively approaching it with the care of most scientists. As in you get out your poking stick and flip through its fronds, half expecting a large mutated crab to scuttle out and snip at you

You hear a chuckle amongst the shushing of the shore and turn to glance out at the water's surface. Turning just in time to see what looked like a tailfin slap against the waves.

POSTING THIS ON THE LAST DAY OF MERMAY LETS GOOO

“what is he doing here?!” you demand and hear a voice behind you.

“it’s here because you found it.” comes a smooth baritone, and you spin around to see silco leroy.

he’s dressed immaculately in a black three-piece suit with a red button-down and white tie. his shiny black dress shoes splashed through the water that was being flung up by viktor’s constant attempts to make it over the wall. which weren’t going well, mind you. his shoulders kept slamming against the concrete barriers, and his long nails scraped and clawed so much you were worried they’d snap.

what parts of the cage weren’t surrounded by concrete were surrounded by laminated glass meant for viewing the animal in the habitat. it looked thick, way too thick for anything to break through.

just how long had this enclosure been in progress? when was it built, and why didn’t you know about it?

“what do you mean he’s here because i found him?” you ask incredulously, and sevika steps out from behind silco when you start to get angry. she’s decked out in her full security guard garb with her pistol on her belt and her hand on her baton. she looks more like a police officer than a security guard.

but she gets the job done and absolutely terrifies you.

not as much as silco… but no one scares you as much as silco does.

“because you found this creature. do you have any idea how valuable it is?” he inquires, and you shrug,

“about as much as the next person, i suppose.” and get the immediate feeling that your answer was the incorrect one. he shakes his head, clicking his tongue disappointedly as he crosses his arms. he looks like a dissatisfied father scolding a child.

and you had the feeling you were the child in question.

“we both know that is a lie. you know exactly how valuable this thing is and the strides we could make in the scientific community with it.” you have the notion that he’s calling viktor an “it” just to irk you.

it’s working.

you cross your arms and lean on one foot, scuffing the other against the concrete. you flinch when water splashes against your back over the top of the angled glass where viktor is still trying to escape and duck your head as if something had been thrown at you when he starts screeching.

it’s a heart-wrenching sound that pulls at your soul. it simultaneously scares and hurts you.

it’s the sound of a man who is angry and lost. a man who longs to return to his home and is oh so scared of what is going to happen to him.

you only hope they don’t kill him.

“fine, yes, i know how valuable he is.” you say and stress the “he” in your sentence.

silco quirks an eyebrow, but you keep talking,

“and what do you want me to do with that information?” you finally ask, and he gestures to where viktor has finally stopped throwing himself from the water and is resting on the small sandy shore, shoulders heaving and head down as he tries to catch his breath.

so merfolk do breathe air.

how did they function underwater?

you could’ve sworn you saw gills on him yesterday.

do they have both lungs and gills?

you realize abruptly that silco is talking.

“—to study the creature. take samples. learn the behavior. possibly even teach it how to communicate. and no telling anyone. after all, you did sign the NDA, did you not?” he talks in that silky smooth and very unnerving voice of his. you involuntarily shudder, and he notices. his smile turns triumphant as you duck your head and mumble in agreement.

it seemed you had no choice.

but…

teach viktor how to communicate?

did he even have the physical capabilities to speak a human language? much less english? all you had heard from him yet was hisses and screeches. noises unable to be made by human vocal cords. they sounded more animalistic, almost whale-like. it was a noise made deep in his chest that resonated throughout the air.

it would have been beautiful if it weren’t such a heartbreaking sound.

it made you wonder just how human merfolk actually were.

you were snapped from your musings by silco leaving with sevika on his tail. he turned at the door and offered a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

“you start immediately. marcus will explain the rest. best of luck.” he said and shut the door without another word.

marcus does not, in fact, explain anything. he just reiterates what silco said and leaves you and viktor alone.

speaking of viktor…

he’s gone.

he wasn’t on the beach.

where was he?

you ignore the flash of panic that goes through you and rushes to the glass that stands between you and the water. you search frantically through the clear blue water for any signs of the merman.

only to fall on your rear when he erupts from the water like a man possessed and slams into the laminated glass with an enraged screech, his talons scraping and leaving gouges in the transparent material before splashing back into the enclosure.

one thing is clear as you look into the water and see him circling the perimeter, his angry golden eyes watching you with clear scorning.

he blames you entirely.

Silco Headcanons - The Anatomy of a Dark Messiah - Zodiac Rambles

Based on this ask<3

First off, going by the Big Three I headcanoned in a previous post:

Gemini sun - Charismatic, witty, calculating.

Pisces Moon - Adaptable, empathetic, dual-natured.

Scorpio Rising - Aggressive, ambitious and needs to be in control.

Gemini is the mutable sign of the zodiac. It is associated with the element of air, and centered on the mind/intellect. There is also a duality present in Gemini - it can be split into yang (positive, masculine, outward energy) and yin (negative, feminine, inward energy), like two sides of a coin.

As a young man, this duality manifested in Silco's witty, amiable exterior and the darker, more ambitious nature he kept hidden. He was flexible with his plans, ready to adapt at the slightest provocation. Present-day, it shows in the ease with which he switches from the charismatic Chancellor to the cutthroat kingpin, and in the way he uses rationalizations to justify his actions: "I'm doing this for us, Jinx," - "It's for your own good, Jinx." - "We can't go back now, Jinx."

His Gemini is in Neptune, and occupies his first house. It's also conjunct Pluto, and squared by the asteroid Eris.

Neptune is associated with illusions, secrecy, mysticism, and spiritual transcendence. It's also the root of delusions, cults, and messiah complexes. A conjunction with Pluto is this aspect symbolizes a powerful capacity for transformation. It can also manifest as a lifelong intimacy with the Plutonic forces of nature: death, rebirth, metamorphosis, evolution—and revolution. Conjunct Eris, the sign of discord, division, and uprising, we see Silco's natural ability to influence the masses and incite them to take drastic measures.

The placement in the first house symbolizes his early life, and his base nature (his first self, in a sense.) His is a childhood marked by struggle, strife, and hellish darkness: working in the mines, but also being in close proximity to gold, silver, gems. Pluto, in mythology, is known as The Rich One, and reflects Silco's talent for accumulating wealth and resources, and also rechanneling them to fund disruptive endeavors that topple the status quo.

This conjunction also indicates the potential for great spiritual magnetism. Neptune in the first house reflects an inner world of dreams and nightmares. If these are not balanced, the person may suffer from a sense of unreality, becoming disconnected from the world around them.

Paired with his silvery Gemini tongue, this becomes a barbed weapon: his words literally have the power to make the listener see God—or the Devil.

Silco's Moon is in Pisces. This is the final sign of the zodiac and, in a way, represents a sort of "summing up" of the whole zodiac cycle. Silco's Pisces sits in his eighth house. In general, this means he has a strong drive towards transformation, and a keen gift for intuiting others' needs. It also symbolizes his emotional vulnerability. Pisces' watery nature is reflected in the concept of fluidity: the merman, the waves, the ebb and flow.

Silco has a Pisces moon squared by Saturn. Saturn's associations include: boundaries, limitations, and structures. It is the ruler of Capricorn, a Cardinal earth sign that is concerned with survival, practicality, and building things from the ground up. Taken together, this speaks to deep emotional scaffoldings that have held him back, and been torn down, at great cost.

A moon in the eighth house also signifies an absent, or unstable maternal influence. In Silco's case, it indicates his mother's mental illness, her swings between mania and lucidness, and her institutionalization in the Asylum. It likewise relates to his period of imprisonment in Stillwater, and the loss of self-expression (he's literally kept muzzled during his stay). Finally, it points to the systemic barriers that keep him from fully unleashing that tender, perceptive, empathetic side of him without paying the price.

He is, literally, caged by external forces. The lack of safety and security, the violence and hopelessness - all of this takes its toll.

And yet, it's in the structured Saturnian identity of fatherhood that his Moon really blossoms. Through giving Jinx the stability and protection she craves, he finds his own emotional equilibrium, and an outlet for that creative, intuitive, caring side of himself.

At the same time, there is an intensity, a sense of warping, that the placement lends his relationship with Jinx. He's too involved. He's too willing to sacrifice, or twist rules, or wring necks.

Anything to keep Jinx safe - and keep her his.

His rising sign is Scorpio. The first thing that comes to mind is the sting: the sting of his tongue, his eye, his blade. But also the sting of his rage. Our rising sign is the veneer, the public self. Silco's sits in Scorpio, with his Sun sign already in close proximity to Pluto. The combination is associated with secrets, occultism, and death. It is also linked to intense ambition and a burning drive to succeed at all costs.

His rising in the sixth house is interesting. It signifies a drive to do something useful for others. To make their lives better.

This is an unusual placement, considering how his outward persona is so driven by self-interest. And yet, it is the foundation of his character, and the loyalty he inspires in others. Everything he does, no matter how ruthless, is rooted in his drive to birth Zaun into being. It also ties into his willingness to sacrifice his own ambitions, his health, his life, for a greater cause.

Not Zaun, but Jinx.

His North node is in Pisces, with the South in Virgo. The nodes represent karmic threads, and the North is our path to mastery, and the South is our lessons, and what we're still trying to figure out. Silco's is almost a call to find 'God' - to be a guide to the lost and broken. It's also a reflection of his innate desire to help others. He finds meaning, purpose, and healing in the bonds he forms, and through nurturing Jinx, his path becomes clear: to guide his child.

And yet, the Neptunian influence creates, once again, a sense of warping: who is the guiding force, and who is the lost?

His Lilith - the planet representing his anima, the wounded feminine, the vengeful succubus - is fittingly in Cancer. The mother-of-all-monsters is the most nurturing and protective of her brood. She will defend her children to the death, and has the ferocity of a thousand women scorned. She's the demoness that will hunt you down, and eat your heart if you dare harm her family.

This plays into his fierce overprotectiveness for Jinx, his willingness to kill for her - but also, disquietingly, his tendency to smother her, to try to control her and keep her safe in the confines of his world, where nothing and no one can reach her.

His Venus and Mars, two signs intimately tied to romance, relationships, sexuality, are both in Capricorn. They sit in the twelfth house, and form a conjunction. Mars in Capricorn is ambitious and focused, but it can be destructive, especially when it's not channeled correctly. The combination is also sometimes associated with the Devil.

This is the most volatile piece of Silco's psyche, forged in the crucible of trauma and betrayal, and has only one goal: survival. It's kill or be killed, and it's the reason why he doesn't hesitate to launch an ambush from the shadows, kill a child, or torture a lackey. It is the ruthless part of his nature, and a reminder that while his actions might be motivated by idealism, he is just as comfortable with blood-work as he is with politics.

Violence may be 'base.' But it's necessary for change. And by God, does it feel good.

Your Mars placement is also an indicator of the men you're drawn to, or the masculine traits you idealize (while Jupiter is the more 'husbandly' aspect, and describes the men we might settle down with). Silco's Mars is in Capricorn: we see this play out in his attraction to Vander, a hardworking, rugged, disciplined man, who is both a leader and a father figure. Vander's grounded and brass-buttons attitude was a good a counterpoint to Silco's shady and slippery ways.

Without it, he's prone to succumbing to the pull of his darker side.

More positively, his Mars in Capricorn also gives him the grit and tenacity to keep climbing his way up, despite the odds. He takes each setback in stride, and finds the means to push forward. He never stops, and that's what makes him the unstoppable force he is. Likewise, the Capricornian aspect comes through in his outward projection of authority. He's got 'Daddy' energy - pun fully intended - and gives the impression of an austere, forbidding patriarch who is always in control. His lackeys respect him, and are terrified of his temper. The way he expresses his approval is not with a warm embrace, or a gentle pep-talk. It's with the barest smile, the ambiguous tilt of the head, the briefest acknowledgment.

Yet that Martian fire is also the spark behind his charisma. If push comes to shove, he'll descend from his tower and get down in the trenches with the grunts. He prefers not to get his hands dirty, but he's not above wading into the fray himself, or personally gutting a turncoat to make a point.

And the sheer carnivorous zeal in his eyes, when he sinks his blade, hilt-deep, is palpable.

His Venus, likewise in Capricorn, is a curious placement. He's not a sentimentalist, and his aesthetic is far from festive. Yet it imbues him with a nearly old-world severity that verges on elegance, completely at odds with his thuggish reputation. He's hard to please and has a taste for the finer things. He's also notoriously difficult to thaw.

He's not looking for love, and he's certainly not smitten by a pretty face or a mouthful of sugared words. His pleasures are rooted in tactile things: the weight of gold coins in his hand, the heady scent of cigar smoke, the soft pliancy of skin beneath his fingertips.

He doesn't do romance. Not the way you'd expect. But he's got a taste for the chase, and is a masterful wordsmith.

The Venus placement is also the 'wife' aspect, and describes the woman (or type of woman) he would be interested in. The Capricornian influence is reflected in the maturity and gravity he seeks in a partner. She's got a cool exterior, a razor wit, and a taste for refined luxury. She's also his equal: the only woman who can keep up with him. He doesn't need a mother figure to pamper him. He's not interested in a little girl who'll pout and wheedle her way into his good graces.

He's already got a daughter, and more than enough on his plate.

He needs a partner, in every sense. Someone who is his match, and who can bring her own strengths to the table.

We see this play out in his relationships with both Sevika and Mel. In the former, there is a certain solidity, given that she is a trusted comrade-in-arms. There's an easy physicality between them, even as they butt heads over his choices and their consequences. The history also lends itself to a deep-seated connection. Both serve to keep each other grounded, and their dynamic is nearly 'spousal' in its banter and bickering.

With Mel, it's about a challenge, an intellectual dance. The tensions run high, but there's an undergirding of mutual playfulness, and a recognition of the other's prowess. She's extremely classy, and carries herself with a nearly queenly poise. It's the kind of quality he's always secretly coveted. For a boy from the Lanes, who spent his youth scraping mud off his boots, a woman like her is an unreachable ideal. He wants to leave his filthy fingerprints all over her. To stir up her passions. Too wreck her.

What's more, he suspects, with patience, she'll let him.

The twelfth house is the realm of the unconscious, the occult, and the otherworldly. Both his Venus and Mars are located here, and they're in close conjunction. In terms of sexuality, this placement indicates a pull towards the taboo. He's got remarkably few inhibitions, and his tastes bleed toward the decadent and unconventional. He enjoys sex with a bit of an edge - the sharper the better. The Capricornian vibe plays into this: control games, the subtle dance of seduction and surrender, and a healthy heaping of kink.

There's an almost feral, wild-child side to his libido. And there is nothing that thrills him quite as much as taking a strong plaything, and seeing how quickly he can make them fall to their knees—and fall apart.

On the flipside, this also indicates an obsession with having the upper-hand. Every act of generosity comes with a dotted line. Every gift, a debt. Every kiss, a contract.

The twelfth house's ties to the occult also speak to a deep, unrelenting spiritual drive. As we saw earlier, his Sun, Neptune, and Pluto are all aligned in this direction. While he may not put stock in the gods, or any higher power, the notion of transcendence is an intrinsic part of his identity. It's a part of him that has been shaped by trauma, warped by betrayal, reborn by revolution, and risen from the ashes like the mythical sea-monster.

His faith rests not in the heavens, but himself.

I hope this was a fun exploration! I've got a family background in astrology, but please don't take my interpretations as gospel. I just have fun putting the pieces together. If you share aspects of Silco's chart, I hope I've given you something to think about.

Thank you for reading<3
