——————
Sludging through day-old snow, Sevika makes her way through the viscous quiet shrouding your street. Her evening path to your shared home was well trodden, and after three years with you, well danced.
“Ah… shit,” she huffs as she fumbles with the key, chain jingling with the near dozen charms you attached. Sevika finally nudges her way into sweet warmth, faintly illuminated, her tense features relaxing into the gentle smile your essence arouses.
requests open :)) [arcane]
so after the longest bout of writers block i've ever had... im opening up my requests to help revive my creative muscle!

Too Early
librarian!Sevika x reader
Part 1, Part 2: Avocados
warnings: none! mostly fluff, character study
7:52 am
Seven days whisked by since your blissful exchange with Sevika. The memory of her honeyed tone had gradually replaced the whispers of your seasonal slump. You had hardly even let her speak, yet you guiltily craved her rasp. A reinfused zest led you to finally grant your dark coils reprieve. After a not-so-ideally timed Thursday wash day, your resulting afro babbled life into your visage.
Now, incoming swaths of sun devoured your drowsiness and any residual tenderness sold to you in your dreams. Dreams of this captivating librarian undressing your armor, undressing your pain, undressing you. As your eyes fluttered open, you cleared your rugged throat, forcing in the dry air of reality. But, upon the tail of your second inhale arrived the taste of hope.
Bare skin hit chilling air then scorching water then jasmine steam, numb with excitement. Jasmine lotion to match trailed closely behind. As the air settled in your bathroom, you watched your reflection become sharper. Your skin glowed with renewal and the promise of life. And good God your hair missed being loud and free, unwound into a meandering cacophony of curls. You turn toward the soft knitted sweater and nude slacks you’ve had set aside since last Sunday evening and release a giddy chuckle.
Sevika, on the other hand, was beginning to wear down her favorite running shoes. 6 miles became 7 became 10.2. Finally stopping a block from her apartment, she panted profusely as her muscles trembled and sweat trailed. Combing wet strands from her well-kept eyebrows, she shuffled hazily forward. Her mind had been a mess since your encounter. Uncertain of your return and concerningly anxious for your approval, she ultimately quit scouring the library for the perfect book to give you. She sought clarity in abandonment, but intrusive regret whispered in the wind.
thinking about sevika as the father (jack pearson) from this is us. a selfless, dutiful husband and father harboring considerable trauma, but channeling all of that heat and angst into a furious and audacious love. he was just so endearing… i tear up everytime i think of him. she would absolutely be that kind of wife and mother (hopefully minus the tragic death…)

wife!Sevika x reader
no warnings, just fluff + domestic sevika
Crickets taunt you with their joyous chorus, thick summer air suffocating your senses. With a few more disappointingly laborious breaths and heavy steps, you burst through your front door, escaping the weighty twilight. You kick your shoes off before all else, heels aching from a long day at work.
Ambling toward your bedroom, you toss every unnecessary layer of clothing and accessory onto one surface or another and flop backwards onto the bed. Staring at the ceiling, you finally remember to let out that breath you’d been holding. Work had wrung you dry and hollow, too numb to truly feel the fatigue.
Like an alarm, your hoarse sigh triggers a heavy and hurried shuffle from another room. Sevika emerges from her study wearing a pensive scowl, balancing a sewing pin between her dark lips. Her demeanor softens as she strolls toward the bed, kneeling near your legs. After placing the pin on the nightstand, she grasps both your hands as they lie on either side of you.
so! too early may very well be a lot longer than i anticipated (or i just need to rework the pacing) 😀

Arcane S2 and its Critiques Therein..
There is a reason why I side-eye the 'arcane critical'-critical crowd who insist we cannot equate real world politics with fictional universes, or project our 'leftist' agenda on a world of pretend.
There seems this undercurrent of condescension in the attitude, as if it stems from people who have perhaps not considered why they enjoy the shows that they do, or how a certain character or plot makes them feel; either positively, by representation, or negatively, by erasure.
And yet... we are drawn to stories that resonate with our own experiences.
These stories, in turn, are written by writers who live in our world and who often pull their ideas directly from it. We gravitate toward characters who are reflections of ourselves, and avoid the stories which cause us discomfort for whatever reason. Even 'guilty pleasures' stem from an inner desire to explore themes or issues which we know exist (and may be problematic in social spaces) but which, through fantasy, become more bearable because we can safely distance ourselves from what is real.
Ultimately, most writers put something of themselves into their work. A little sliver of self always peeks through the cracks; a touch of idealism here, an emotion felt there, a comment on a political issue sprinkled somewhere in between.
It does not mean that fictional universes are a perfect mirror image of our reality; but it behooves us not to forget how influential 'RL' has been, and always will be, when writing fantasy or science fiction.
Tolkien was undoubtedly inspired by his experiences of war, all of which would later bleed into the pages of his Middle-Earth tales. Even in a tiny microcosm, I notice how life events and current political attitudes affect the way I write my stories, whether they are fan-based or original pieces.
We live in chaotic times. Fiction, at its crux, mirrors that chaos, because it comes about as a result of real life. As much as we wish to escape from harsh truths or present-day issues... they still seep through the veil between imagination and reality.
Escapism should not blind us to the truth that stories are products of our environment, and therefore, inevitably political.
With that in mind, there's something innately disingenuous about insisting that Arcane is somehow separate from real world issues - when, on so many levels, it borrows from real world problems and confronts its viewers with topics which are inherently political: poverty, inequality, state violence ... even the underbelly of the Piltover elite and their dealings with the undercity echoes how we see corruption occurring in governments worldwide.
That the show, by S2, reduces these issues to aesthetics - for instance, the writers admitting they wrote up Vi's backstory with her parents being killed by Enforcers to introduce an element of conflict into hers and Cait's future romance - or, worse, resolves these conflicts without any further nuance - like Sevika becoming a Zaunite representative on a Council that plainly disdains her, and the narrative coming away thinking this is acceptable in lieu of actual independence - is, in essence, disappointing for the themes that were promised.
It feels like the writers realized halfway through writing these plots, that they either did not have the time, budget, know-how or interest in delving too deep into these gritty, tough-to-solve sociopolitical pickles, and instead opted to pander to a (admittedly broad, myself included) subset of viewers who just wanted a sapphic couple with soft angst and sweet reconciliations to contrast all of the ugly machinations happening around them, while the rest of the cast was going through literal hell.
This is not enough to say we shouldn't enjoy Arcane for what it is. I've made plain, on several occasions, that I found the finale visually spectacular, thematically satisfying, and a masterpiece in terms of animation.
And yet, what elevated Arcane S1 to such high levels of acclaim was also its willingness to probe the uncomfortable issues surrounding power, control, exploitation, abuse, morality and free will; as well as, at least initially, its decision to offer a critical lens into how we approach each of these themes, as refracted to a cast of different characters.
We can acknowledge these strengths while simultaneously recognizing their flaws.
Arcane is far more than 'just a video game show.' It's a beautifully designed piece of fiction that deals with so many real-life issues, in spite of its fantasy setting. Yet the criticism that 'we cannot project real world politics onto it' feels inherently unfair - because no story ever exists in a vacuum, least of all one which confronts us with stark contrasts between poverty and wealth, oppression and liberation, authority and agency.
There is nothing wrong with simply wanting to sit back and enjoy the ride. But please spare me the holier-than-thou attitudes whenever people try and open up discourse on why certain shows should take responsibility when it comes to the messages they broadcast.
Because, believe it or not, there exists a slew of media that, in fact, sticks to the landing re: difficult questions about humanity, society and politics. Media that does not ignore, diminish or erase people who are struggling, precisely because those very same issues resonate in real life - and thus, have real consequences for real people.
It isn't asking much that audiences look past the veneer of aestheticism to find the beating heart within stories. Nor should we be belittled for wanting to hold writers to account if the world they create becomes nothing more than a pretty backdrop.
This can be done without hate-mongering, derision or critique; in fact, I'd go so far as saying that critique is a necessary aspect of engaging healthily with art, media and fiction.
At the end of the day, writers are responsible for the world-building of fictional universes and their plot choices; and both things do have an impact on those who watch those worlds come to life. That doesn't mean writers need to pander to every opinion out there; hell, playing to the gallery (and the shippers) rarely ends well, and more often than not detracts from the message of the tale.
But it does mean we can hold storytellers accountable for the impressions they leave behind, for better or worse - especially when said impressions further compound real world experiences of inequality, erasure or prejudice.
As consumers of media, let's be willing to dig beneath the surface to uncover the meanings of story. Let's not settle for anything less than writers who do everything possible to deliver compelling narratives that ask questions which reflect our humanity in meaningful, resonant ways. Let's enjoy our sweet sapphic ships and our goofy doomed sciencebros, while still looking closely at all of the other issues bubbling beneath the surface.
Let's keep up the healthy dialogues and stop dismissing criticism as merely spiteful.
Escapism is only truly fulfilling when, upon returning to the 'real world,' you feel that something has changed inside you; where you have been enriched, uplifted, inspired even... and sometimes, yes, educated.
Stories carry the weight of imagination; and we must allow ourselves to be transformed by wonder. But never forget to question the reality that is portrayed. Stories are born out of humanity, after all, and thus carry within them fragments of us. When we embrace fantasy, we also learn a lot about the way we see ourselves, and the kind of world we choose to live in.
And if all else fails, I guess we'll have fanfic to fall back on.
But that is another post, for another time.

Part 1:
warnings: none! mostly fluff, character study
7:02 am
Awareness repossesses you as the somber glow of gray skies and lazy wind slosh through your dainty curtains. Not even the birds greet you this late fall morning, but the ghostly alarm of an anxious Sunday sure does pry you awake. Your limbs move before your mind, teetering out of bed and scrambling for your phone to absentmindedly check the time.
Last week’s outfits litter the floor, what’s with all the red recently? you shrug to yourself. As you shuffle through your morning routine, your usual pep returns. You dare yourself to really look into the mirror, squinting, toothbrush caught in puffy lips, lavender bonnet askew. Too early. You finish up in the bathroom and finally undress your head, huffing an ironic laugh. Your braids were a tad bit older than you’d like to admit. Ah… compensating.
Across the city, amidst the rare pinnacle of stillness, a dark form whisks by, upsetting heaps of autumn leaves. Sevika. Tall, imposing, and powerful, her swift strides command the wind. She rounds the corner of her block, only disturbing the silence with an exaggerated exhale as she halts her “light” 6 mile run. She glances at her watch, the sleeves of her navy sweatshirt bunched tight near the nexus of her trained forearm and bicep. Only an hour remains before she heads to work.
