Thank you to for agreeing to do a match-up exchange with me @lost-eternity You gave me a lot to work with, especially for Arcane! After going through your personality, I knew exactly who I had to match you with...
Today we're doing a romantic match with...
"Changing the World Together Without Permission"
will burn the world down for them x hands them the match
Misunderstood by the world (him) x willing to change it for them both (you)
Ship Song - [ "Let the World Burn"]
How the two of you first met...
Technically, both of you attended the Academy, but never crossed paths. While studying the effects of Shimmer, you're stripped of your title as a doctor and left without a job. Even if you were trying to find a treatment for the addiction, the Council did not believe you. Nobody is willing to work with you until one day you find the co-inventor of Hextech, Viktor, at your apartment door with an offer- if you offer to help find a cure for his illness, he'll give you all the secrets to Shimmer. What could go wrong? (Spoiler: A LOT)
At first, the only feeling between the two of you is contempt. Viktor is blunt, ignores everyone most of the time in favor of his work, and has a high distrust of everyone, especially you. You're from a very rich family in Piltover, after all, and with the elegant fashion you wear to the lab, to the constant look of distaste on your face, he assumes you're like every other Topsider. All you see is a lowlife from the Undercity who doesn't deserve to be where he is. Not to mention your endless questions. You're intelligent, capable, and have too many good ideas, annoyingly so. Admittedly, ever since Jayce started spending all his time with Mel, things have been a bit lonely in the lab...and there's a warmth he won't admit to with having you work in your corner as he works in his own every night. The silence is starting to mean more than he'll admit - always there, always steady and so much more to him than a lab partner
The confession...On the horrible night of Jinx's attack, you're there beside him, left unharmed as you see his dying body. Realizing a world without him is a world you cannot live in, you agree to Jayce's idea to revive him despite knowing Viktor's wishes. After he leaves without a trace, you soon find Viktor changed within the heart of the Undercity, running a cult as a healer and seeing your dream realized - the cure for Shimmer. Yet, Viktor's changed, and he seems a shell of his old self, obsessed with the glorious evolution of his. With what little bit of humanity is left in him, he vows to belong to you. Soon, you realize there was more between the two of you, even if at the time you didn't wish to admit it. Although it feels so wrong, you want to see him thrive along with your shared dream. The two of you stay in the commune, healing together, willing to burn the world down for another. Once Ambessa and her troops take Viktor away, nothing, and you mean nothing, will keep you from tearing everything down to get him back
After the events of the battle of Piltover, somehow the two of you find a way to another dimension along with Jayce, where you can begin to build a world all your own
Both of you are cold and somewhat unapproachable at first, needing time to warm up to someone else
Logic is basically what Viktor runs on besides a lack of sleep and the two of you would work out problems together with analysis, not drama
Even if we never get to see Viktor's apartment in the show, I just KNOW this man would have a place that looked like a Dark Academia Pinterest Board and would let you keep all your trinkets there
Your sharp tongue is much like his own, and he would love you the most when you were at scaring others with a few words
Two introverts who love learning and would rather discuss their latest research than go to a party? Your honor it's perfect
Viktor would appreciate having someone who enjoyed listening to him talk about his ideas and aspirations
The two of you'd work side by side to meet your goals, quietly supporting each other's dreams rather than teaming up as a lab partner
Viktor cares more about bonding on the intellectual level, along with an emotional one, rather than physically - obviously he would care less about being physical with you
Viktor loves your directness, but he can hardly handle the flirting since he's not used to such advances, the only time you ever see him uncomposed
-Lab date? - Viktor isn't exactly the most upfront with his feelings, and neither are you, so technically your first dates consist of drinking coffee together late into the hours of the night as you talk about everything and nothing while overlooking the city
-Planetary date- As soon as Viktor realizes his feelings, well, just like everything else in his life, he's determined to reach perfection and treats it more like an experiment more than anything.
Food + a evening alone in Piltover's finest observatory (- any distractions from Jayce or work) (x 2 soulmates)? Equals the perfect equation for the perfect date
-Dancing- On the rare occasion the two of you show up to a party after being forced by Heimerdinger, you find a quiet place to yourselves away from the noisy crowds. The music can still be heard even this far away, and when Viktor admits he's never had a chance to share a dance due to his cane, you find a way to adjust for him, slowly dancing in a world all your own
-Picnic in the gardens- Oftentimes, the two of you eat together alone on the gardens of the commune, surrounded by peace and the evidence of your dreams merging together. After the battle, you find yourself planting a new garden together in your new home in another world
Let me know what you think or if you have any questions!
