Taking place during the entire month of October, leading up to the release of Arcane season 2, this event will focus on speculative fanworks and their predictions for our beloved cast of misfits.
Week 1: Revenge - Alliances - Angst
Week 2: Discovery - Betrayal - AU
Week 3: Invasion - Truth - Fluff
Week 4: Invention - Freedom - Last Kiss
Will Ekko and Jinx make up? Is Ambessa invading? Any ideas on Warwick's fate? What are Vi's feelings, putting on an enforcer uniform?
All those and more are great questions to answer for this event. We provide some guidance, but you're welcome to pick your own prompts!
You can create a work per week, or one per day if you're insane, or even have a single contribution. You can post a fic's chapters throughout the month, or can cosplay as characters in their new looks... All fan works are welcome, including meta speculation.
We want to help build the hype and reknit the community together!
To participate you can post (from October 1st) on tumblr or twitter using the tag #arcanevisions, and can ping us on tumblr @/arcanefandomweek or twitter @/Arcanefanweek. You can also submit your work to the Arcane Visions collection on AO3, which will open the first day of the event.
Please also check out our Rules and Guidelines under the cut.
If you still have questions, check our FAQs or send us an Ask!
Don't be shy, and please reblog!

All types of fanworks, including fic, art, moodboards, podfic, playlists, meta, embroidery, and more, are welcome for this event.
NSFW or potentially triggering content, even if canon-typical, must be properly tagged with any applicable content warnings. For the comfort of the mods, please only submit NSFW works if you are 18+.
This event allows all ships and themes so long as everything is appropriately tagged. You will be contacted if your submission is under-tagged. Poorly tagged works will not be reblogged.

Summary: Viktor has an unexpected visitor and helps her with a prosthetic. They bond over shared experiences and form an alliance.
Notes: A late entry to @arcanefandomweek ‘s Arcane Visions Week 1: Alliances. I need Viktor and Jinx to interact in season 2. Maybe they’d be friends. Maybe they’d just clash and collide. This is an exploration of how it might go. Inspired by a few trailers and promo posters, as well as some league lore; so beware potential spoilers!
Timeline wise… who knows? Just having fun with possibilities here.
TW: loss of limb, fictional drug (shimmer), cults, human experimentation

~*~
Viktor glanced up as a flash of blue burst into his workshop. Long blue hair. Jinx. Of course it was only a matter of time before she found him, whether he wanted her to or not. He set aside his tools and braced for the whirlwind.
She darted around the room, inspecting various prosthetics and chattering on about… something. He failed to see any train of logic, but she didn’t seem to be talking to him so he didn’t bother trying to decipher it.
“Please be careful not to break anything, some of these items are very fragile,” Viktor warned, before she could do anything too drastic.
Jinx turned to face him, eyes glowing purple. Shimmer. “Oh, there you are! Mr. Machine Herald! Almost didn’t see ya with all…” She gestured to the various parts and half-made prototypes surrounding him. He supposed his metal parts did blend in, but he rarely wanted to be found in the first place.
His gaze flicked to her left hand. Her middle finger was missing, the wound still leaking a mixture of blood and shimmer despite a crude bandage. “You’re hurt,” he blurted. “Let me help.”
She grinned. “I was hoping you’d offer! Can I get a cool upgrade? Like a giant middle finger with a laser or a blaster!”
“Let us start with the basics, hm? May I see?” he asked, holding out a hand.
She skipped over and slapped her injured hand into his. He winced in sympathy, then looked closer, taking a clean damp cloth in his free hand.
“How did this happen?” Viktor asked as he carefully removed the soaked bandage and cleaned the wound. He’d seen worse, it would likely be a simple fix.
“Stupid Piltie shot it off with stupid fancy gun. I could make a waaay better one!”
“A fancy gun, hm? What kind of fancy?”
“Oh something Hextech-y; it was glowing blue. But it didn’t explode, which is boring.”
Hextech. Jayce was making more weapons. It shouldn’t be a surprise, but still it stung. They both had failed to carry through on their promises. At least Viktor was trying to do good, but Jayce seemed to have fallen even further. Traitor.
“Hey, hey, easy on the grip!”
Viktor glanced back at her hand and loosened his grip. Something had to be wrong with the wiring of his hand to cause it to tighten so. “Apologies.” Then he cleared what remained of his throat and asked, “When did you last take shimmer? I am not judging— I have taken it myself— but it will affect how we continue, so please be truthful.”
“Hm? Oh! I don’t take it! Not like that, pfft no. The doctor did some funky experiment to save my life a while ago and I’ve been purple ever since!”
Viktor stiffened. “The doctor did this to you? Singed?”
“Yep!” Jinx nodded emphatically.
Another experiment. A human experiment. His gut twisted. Viktor knew Singed had done terrible things in the name of science. Shimmer was one of them, a double-edged sword. But this seemed a step further. Shimmer created within a human body. Had she become the new Rio? Gods, he hoped not.
Viktor shook his head. “Eh, anyway, would you prefer the prosthetic to be fused to your flesh or easily replaceable?”
Jinx tapped her chin. “Hmm… replaceable. That way I can make my own upgrades!”
“Understandable.” Viktor wrapped the wound with a clean bandage. The shimmer still in her system would likely help it heal faster regardless. He used the Hexclaw as an extra hand to make a few measurements and jot them down, then moved to find the necessary parts.
“Are you really all robot?” Jinx asked.
“Eh… not entirely.” He shrugged. “Perhaps eventually I will be.”
“That’s what your cult wants, right? The ‘Glorious Evolution’ or whatever?”
He scoffed. “They are not my cult. I do not ask for it, I do not want them following me.”
“I didn’t ask for mine either!” Jinx laughed. “Funny how that works. Just wake up one day and boom! Everyone dying their hair blue and begging for prosthetics!”
“Mm. These things are out of our control.”
“Don’t they listen to you?”
Viktor shrugged again. Mostly he avoided them and pretended they didn’t exist. “I have tried occasionally, but they find a way to twist my words to suit their purposes.”
“Mine would set Piltover ablaze for me if I asked,” Jinx said. “No one wanted anything to do with me before. My inventions never worked, or they exploded. I messed everything up.” Her voice cracked.
Viktor looked back at her, some small part of him softening. Another misfit, shunned by society. “No one really wanted me around either. I was a cripple and a foreigner. I spent much of my time away from my peers, but I preferred it that way. Someone I once knew told me that loneliness is the byproduct of a gifted mind, one of the few things he may have been right about. And sometimes we learn better from our failures than our successes, however painful it may be.”
Jinx’s eyes widened, staring at him. “Really?”
“It’s true.” Viktor hesitated a moment, trying to think of something else to reassure her. “I have seen your bombs. The design was very impressive, unique and effective. It was a challenge to defuse. You are very intelligent, Jinx. If you ever wish to put your mind to less destructive purposes, I would be glad to work with you.”
Jinx shrugged. “Maybe.”
“Here, watch.” Viktor pieced together a prosthetic finger, trimmed a bit to fit to her measurements. He attached it to a partial glove and held it out to her. Every step he explained, just in case she was interested. Perhaps it would help. “Try this on. It should fit underneath your other glove, if you wish.”
Jinx snatched it from his hand, looking at it curiously. “That’s it?”
“For a basic prosthetic, yes. As you said, you can make upgrades as you see fit. For now, try it on, see if it works.”
Jinx put on the prosthetic, and he guided her through a few tests to ensure it was functioning properly. Once she passed the tests, Jinx flipped him off with the prosthetic. “It’s perfect!”
“Good, I’m glad you like it. Is there anything else?”
Jinx was quiet for a few seconds, fiddling with the prosthetic. “Sevika said I could unite the whole of Zaun if I tried.” She looked back at him. “Hey, we should unite our cults!”
Viktor squinted at her. “Unite our cults?”
“Yeah! Make an alliance!” Jinx grinned at him.
“I have no interest in attacking Piltover.”
Jinx blew a raspberry like a child. “Boring! Why not?” She narrowed her eyes. “Because of your fucking Piltie? Your Hextech partner? The Golden Boy of Progress? Are you still on his side?”
Viktor exhaled slowly, the fans of his ventilator whirring. He had to be careful. Antagonizing Jinx and her cult would be a terrible idea. “This isn’t about him. I do not wish to fight anyone, on either side. I am a scientist, not a soldier. My creations are to improve lives, not take them. I am only wary of what such an attack would mean for the common people, on both sides. Wars rarely end well.”
He took a breath, continuing before she could interrupt, “Perhaps we could simply have a truce between us? You tell your cult not to antagonize mine, and I do the same. If any of your cult require prosthetics, I would be happy to supply.” He would help anyone who stumbled into his workshop or requested his assistance, but still it was an olive branch. Whether his cult would listen was another matter, but he hoped they would.
Jinx tilted her head to the side, seeming to stare straight through him. “That’s all you want? Nothing about your Piltie?”
“Jayce is mine to deal with. I would greatly prefer if you leave him alive.”
“I can kidnap him for you and bring him here!”
“That is not necessary.”
“But you’d rather he be kidnapped than killed, right?”
That was undoubtably a threat. Fine. Jayce would be safer with him than any chem-barons. Viktor inclined his head. “Very well. If the opportunity arises to capture Jayce without severely harming him, you may bring him to me.”
“Great! It’s a deal!” Jinx bounced to her feet. “I’ve got something of yours. You gotta have something of mine now! Can I paint on you?”
Viktor hesitated. “What would you like to paint?”
“Just some blue clouds and stuff. You know, the more hopeful version of my symbol.” Jinx brandished a blue paint pen. “You can’t wash it off!”
It could be worse. “If you must. Just.. nothing too extreme.”
Jinx grinned and climbed on top of his chair to get closer, drawing on his metal chest plate and over his shoulder. Viktor remained perfectly still, watching her work. Blue swirls and clouds and sparkles. He could pretend it represented Hextech if asked. Or perhaps it would be better to admit their strange alliance.
Jayce would hate it.
Viktor craned his neck as she moved towards his back, careful not to jostle her. “How much are you drawing?”
“What, change your mind? Gotta make sure everyone can see it!”
“I did not change my mind. I am only curious.”
“Hold onto your horses, I’ll almost done!”
Viktor went still and silent once more. It was only paint. Jinx’s graffiti was everywhere in Zaun, hardly anything drastic.
“Ta-da!” Jinx hopped to her feet with a flourish. “What do you think?”
Viktor looked over the drawings, trying to think of something complimentary. It wasn’t his style, but he had no intention of insulting her. “You certainly have an artistic flair.”
“Thanks!” Suddenly she was hugging him.
Viktor froze for a moment, processing whether it was an attack or harmless. If she meant harm, he would certainly be dead already. He awkwardly wrapped his arms around her. When was the last time anyone had showed him such affection?
“Careful, you might smudge your drawings,” he said, half a joke.
“Don’t worry, it dries fast.” A moment later, she pulled away. “Well, see you around!” With a playful salute, she was gone.
Viktor watched her go. Emotions were strange illogical things, but perhaps it was not all terrible.
Hi! I was working on something to contribute to the @arcanefandomweek event, but I don't think it will be finished this week like it should... (for the prompt "AU") But it's Jinx birthday, and I really wanted to have something to share. So, here is a wip!! Happy birthday Jinx!!!!!!
‘What about Silco?’ Powder wonders. Does he have any trouble taking his eye medicine on his own now that she is not around to do it for him? Does he struggle with his treatment like she does with hers?
Does he miss her ?
As a member of Topside’s law enforcement, Vi must regularly hear about him. Anyone in and out of town must, really, because the Undercity getting itself out of Piltover’s grip and declaring independence is not the kind of matter that happens in silence.
No, it happened both in fanfares and protests, from what Powder gathered (and already assumed).
It’s crazy that some people hadn’t seen it coming at all. Lame suckers.
Vi talks a little about it with her (as a trencher, as a topsider), but she won’t talk about him – unless it is to remind Powder that she should be wary about the ideas he planted in her brain like bad seeds in the gaps of a paved street (unwanted, destructive, resistant).
If Vi could have it her way (the good-intentions-paved one without any weeds), she would forget about him entirely. Like a memory loss or an oil purge, a whol e--
a w h o l e p e r s o n d o w n t h e d r a i n
and another up the well
well
well
Well, Zaun getting away from Piltover does not mean the bridge stopped crossing the Pilt. (And Powder getting away from Silco does not mean she stopped crossing her sister and her expectations.)
She could go there, she could go to him, she wants to go to him, that would be breaking the conditions under which she is free from imprisonment but why should she care??—No
Why would Silco care?
She left him (yellow, black) (unseeing, insightly), and wouldn’t that make her as good as dead? Loyalty has always been their lock and key and now she has gone and broke them both…
Traded the we for the them.
Funny: how Jinx is dead and Powder is reborn now. Funny? Or maybe she’s just like the Pilties who did not see the Undercity’s revolution coming.
Maybe it was all written in the stars, in the stars of her blue constellation of a violet bunny – maybe it was all written on her like it is written inside the ear of the toy, murmuring who they both belong to: Violet.
Funny but sad.
She thought she had a shape; but what’s powder if not malleable?
What’s for sure is that, even if Silco would be against it, even if Vi would be against it, she misses him like her heart has been slashed in half.
Are you ready? Did the new teaser get your blood kicking? We'll be reblogging any work submitted to the #arcanevisions tag from the 1st of October! It's coming soon, and season 2 right after!
So, some of you on twitter may have noticed that the official Arcane account shared some last minute prompts for the month of October.
There is no other information, so I'm unsure they'll be retweeting things.
Anyway, I just wanted to clarify that you are ABSOLUTELY WELCOME TO FILL THESE PROMPTS and also submit to this event!! You can use both their # and ours. However, I won't be browsing the #arctober. It's not my event and I won't share work posted under that sole #. Please use #arcanevisions if you want to be found and reblogged here or on twitter!
Unlike the official Arcane twitter, we will share and reblog everything submitted to our event, and aren't limited to art! So go wild, do both, do kinktober or spooky halloween themed events in synch, we love to see it!
