Summary
Viktor is the 8-year-old son of Laszlo, a former knight, and Teresza, a talented seamstress — both in service to the royal Talis family. Though loyal to the crown, his parents hold quiet disdain for the royal household, especially Princess Jacy, an outspoken and spoiled young girl who always gets her way.
But Viktor sees something different. Despite her bratty attitude, Jacy is sweet to him — inviting him to lavish tea parties, feeding him cake, and treating him like her future knight. She calls him “hers,” spoils him with affection, and dreams up a life where he protects her forever.
Viktor is drawn in, flattered and fascinated, even as he hides his growing attachment from his parents. They don’t approve of the princess or the world she represents — a world of privilege, power, and control.
As Jacy pulls Viktor deeper into her golden circle, a quiet tension begins to grow between duty, family, and the dangerous charm of royalty.

Summary
“I’ve learned something about you,” the rush of alcohol runs its hands across his eyelids and for a moment he feels sleepy and comfortable and dizzy before the shock of it fades him back into awareness, “you’re a sore loser.”
“And I’ve learned you’re bad at twenty questions.”
Viktor’s expression turns to steel affection. “I’m going to enjoy beating you out for top of class.”
Jayce’s face does something warm and indulgent in return. “I’m going to like watching you try.”
OR. falling in love. falling from grace.

Summary
Seraphine, despite her sunny demeanor, always felt out of place in Piltover due to being born to Zaunite parents and her ability to hear the souls of the people around her.

He completely captures her attention and the two bond over their similarities. What happens to this new friendship as tensions between Piltover and Zaun grow even more? And what if these two friends end up becoming more than just that?

Summary
“I… you didn’t save me,” Viktor managed to say, the ghost of their kiss still lingering on his lips. “You cursed me.”
Jayce shook his head rigorously, eyes growing wide. “No, no, I saved you. You were right, the Hexcore works —”
“Look at me Jayce!” Viktor yelled. “I’m a monster!”
------------
Still half human, Viktor is terrified at what Jayce turns him into, driving him back to Zaun. A strange mix of man, machine, and magic, Viktor's transformation into the Machine Herald begins to correct the power imbalance between the two cities.
Tensions between the two cities come to a fever pitch. The inevitable battle between Zaun and Piltover begins.
------------
Or a Zaunite-centric fic because Arcane is about class struggle ! (Mainly Viktor's POV but with chapters about Jayce, Vi, Jinx and Ekko!) -

Summary
“I think…our paths diverged long ago. It was affection that held us together.”
“Because you want to help the Undercity? Or because you don’t trust me to anymore?” Viktor presses his mouth into a tight line and staunchly does not answer. It wouldn’t be productive regardless.
“I’m dying. Don’t look at me that way, you know it’s the truth. When we destroy the Hexcore it will be a certainty. There’s only so much more I can do with my life, Jayce. It can’t be sitting in this lab while– someone has to warn them. I have Sky’s research. If there’s anything down there I can do, aren’t I obligated to do that?” Aren’t I obligated to make it up to her?"
“Please, please just keep yourself safe,” Jayce begs him. Viktor fights the urge to laugh.
“A man set for the noose won’t drown,” he says softly.OR:
Viktor lives through the Council Chambers explosion. It doesn't make anything any better.Basically just a season 2 what-if starring jayvik, with League lore sprinkled in. Because robots are sexier than wizards.

Wallflowers and Dandelion Children by Tartarus_and_Queerness

Summary
Time has showed time and time again in Zaun that dandelions can never truly be eradicated from the cracks of concrete. Pushing their tiny white heads through the cracks, they slowly become a joyful yellow even with the knowledge their life span is constantly compromised. As sad as it may seem, Zaunite children aren't much different.
Viktor, a child of Zaun, is one such dandelion. Born to artisans, he was encouraged to seek his passions even in the poverty that plagued Zaun. Any toy he was given soon became a project, something to expand upon and make his own. He wanted betterment for his family, his friends, and his homeland. To do that, however, he had to go to Piltover.
As a teenager, he snuck into the an academy. He lied about being a Zaunite, saying that he was a Piltovan to avoid detection for 2 years. When he did get caught, Heimerdinger took him under his wing.
When he met Jayce at 25, he thought it'd be a simple friendship at most. Hypothesises can't always be right, now can they?

Summary
Viktor is magnanimous enough to loosen his grip on Jayce’s throat, just slightly, allowing Jayce to gasp in great lungfuls of air.
“You asked why I would, as you say, do this to myself,” Viktor says nonchalantly, as though picking up a conversational thread at tea. “Most people are perfectly content with two arms; who am I to think I deserve a third?”
He leans in even closer, speaks softly. “To which I say, it’s not about what I deserve. It’s about what I desire.”
Viktor slides the Hexclaw’s free finger over Jayce’s lower lip now, depressing it at the corner; inside he can see the glistening wet pink of Jayce’s mouth, the glint of his white teeth.
“Besides,” Viktor murmurs, staring intently at Jayce’s mouth, “I think you will find that it has its uses.”

What of the timelines where they don’t meet at all?

Summary
Sadness, anguish, despair, that had never been Viktor. Even as he had slowly crawled towards his death, as his cane turned into a crutch, and his cough turned hacking and bloody, Viktor had been driven to the point of obsession. He had been exhausted and sick and frustrated, but he had never once broken. Jayce didn't know how to deal with it.
Jayce doesn't go with Vi to destroy the Shimmer factory. He goes to the lab instead. This changes some things.
A Becoming the Machine Herald fic that combines LoL and Arcane lore. -
Tags
Summary
There is a story that many people in Piltover and Zaun speak about. The tale about the Herald of the Arcane and his near takeover of two cities and beyond it. A madman in the pursuit of perfection, a desperate act of those around him to defend their homes from his unforgivable act.
However, what if things had turned out differently before it were all to fall apart? What if a single choice of a young, bright eyed machinist changed the course of everything? What if that said Herald saw things a different way?
Where a man finds himself in the grasp of acts that were truly, unobjectionably unforgivable... where it all might crash into a madness he might never return back from...
The dream he had fought so hard to protect may all be a lie after all...
