Background Context

In the original timeline, Viktor and Jayce invented Hextech in 193 A.P.F, an event that led to rapid technological progress but also catastrophic political, social, and personal consequences. Among the fallout: the rise of Silco, the proliferation of Shimmer, Powder's transformation into Jinx, Zaun’s suffering, and the fall of Piltover’s Council.

However, at the moment of their deaths—or perhaps as a last ripple of Arcane interference—they are thrown back in time to 190 A.P.F, four years before Hextech is born. Jayce is 20. Viktor is 22. They retain all their memories and trauma, and in doing so, create a divergent branch of history.

This timeline is defined not by Hextech but by their efforts to prevent it, to protect Zaun, and to build a future rooted in justice, science, and choice.

Age 22 – The Reset (190 A.P.F)

Event: Jayce and Viktor awaken in their younger bodies. They confirm it is 190 A.P.F via a newspaper headline and quickly realize: 

“We’re back. Four years before it all went to hell.”

Action: They destroy all research and notes related to Hextech and hide the unrefined crystals.

“Hextech was the match. Silco, Jinx, and the war were the fire.”

Effect: Hextech never exists. Piltover’s technological boom is delayed, and the council retains its traditionalist structures.

Event: Jayce convinces Heimerdinger to arrange a meeting with Mel Medarda. Drawing on his memories of her rise, Jayce pitches her future political role.

Event: During the meeting, Viktor accidentally pulls Mel into the Astral Plane, revealing glimpses of the ruined timeline.

Effect: Convinced by what she sees, Mel agrees to work with them as a silent ally. They become her secret advisors, never publicly associated with her.

Event: Jayce suggests the formation of a Zaunite-only peacekeeping force.

Effect: Mel discreetly relays the idea to Heimerdinger. In turn, Heimerdinger speaks to Sheriff Grayson, who reaches out to Vander for collaboration.

Age 23 – Foundations

Event: With Vander’s endorsement and Grayson’s cooperation, the Zaunite Force Program is piloted. Piltover enforcers are kept out of Zaun.

Effect: A 13-year-old Vi, although hesitant given her distrust and hate of enforcers, shows early interest in joining.

Event: Viktor suggests Mel and Heimerdinger quietly establish a scholarship fund for promising Undercity youth.

Effect: Powder (11) and Ekko (9) are identified for future sponsorship.

Event: Viktor contacts Singed, proposing a private arrangement: Viktor will use his abilities to cure Orianna (Singed's daughter), in exchange for Singed abandoning his work with Silco and joining Viktor’s cause for Zaunite advancement.

Age 24 – Family Begins

Event: Viktor and Jayce start a formal relationship.

Event: Viktor discovers he is pregnant.

Event: Jayce and Viktor marry in a quiet, private ceremony.

"We wasted time the first time around."

Effect: They purchase a modest home in Zaun, just beside the Piltover bridge.

Event: Vi (now 16) joins the enforcer program under Vander and Grayson’s guidance.

Event: Naph is born.

Context: Their marriage is not only a response to the pregnancy but a conscious decision to reclaim time they lost in the original timeline. Naph becomes a symbol of that second chance.

Age 25 – The Fall of the Chembarons

Event: With strategic backing from Mel and Piltover’s Council, a coordinated raid is launched on the Chembarons by the new enforcers of Zaun led by Sevika.

Effect: Silco and the remaining crime lords are arrested and imprisoned in the deepest levels of Stillwater.

Effect: With crime syndicates removed, Zaun’s call for independence strengthens.

Age 26 – Zaun Rises

Event: Zaun is officially declared an independent city-state with its own council.

Event: Vander becomes the head of this new council.

Event: Sevika is appointed Sheriff, with 18-year-old Vi as her second-in-command.

Event: Amaro is born.

Age 27–28 – Alchémica

Event: Viktor and Jayce step down from their roles as secret political advisors.

Event: With savings and Mel’s quiet endorsement, they found Alchémica, a company dedicated to Zaunite infrastructure and non-magical innovation.

Effect: They invent the Aetherium Lung, a biological respiratory device that improves air quality.

Effect: The Kiramman family's monopoly on ventilation collapses, and Piltover loses significant control over Zaun.

Age 29 – Old Roots

Event: Viktor begins development of protective suits for deep fissure exploration.

Event: He descends into the depths of Zaun and discovers Oshra Va’Zaun, an ancient, forgotten city.

Effect: Viktor retrieves early texts written in an old-Zaunite dialect, filled with arcane glyphs and references to lost magic.

Age 30 – New Life, New Legacy

Event: Blitz is born.

Event: Powder (now 18) and Ekko (16) begin their studies at a Piltover academy on full scholarship.

Age 31–34 – Consolidation

Event: Alchémica becomes Zaun’s largest and most respected employer.

Effect: Economic stability and public health improve across Zaun thanks to their innovations.

Effect: The Kiramman family retreats fully into Piltovan politics, relinquishing their influence over the Undercity.

Age 35 – Shocks and Revelations

Event: Naph, now 11, asks about her family’s roots. Viktor begins digging.

Discovery: Silco is Viktor’s biological father.

Effect: Viktor's internal conflict, knowing he's related to Silco.

Event: Viktor and Amaro (9) are caught in a structural collapse during a site visit.

Effect: Viktor saves his son, but Amaro loses a leg. He is later fitted with a prosthetic designed by his siblings and dads.

Age 36 – Magic Returns

Event: Viktor catches Naph reading one of the Oshra texts and unintentionally activating dormant arcane symbols.

Realization: Naph has inherited arcane sensitivity.

Jayce: “It’s happening again.”

But Viktor responds: “No. It’s happening differently.”

Event: Viktor begins quietly studying the glyphs and their effect on his children.

Age 37 – Gifted Blood

Event: Viktor tests Amaro and Blitz for traces of arcane power.

Result: All three children exhibit subtle, differing arcane abilities.

Response: Viktor keeps this secret, fearing what attention it might attract.

Age 38–39 – Safe Harbor

Event: Jayce and Viktor relocate their family to a secure residence between Piltover and Zaun.

Effect: They withdraw from public life, focusing on their family, their research, and ensuring their children grow up safe, away from political or magical exploitation.

Age 41 – Final Piece

Event: Viktor gives birth to their fourth child, a girl named Hex.

Event: Jayce undergoes a vasectomy, and they agree their family is complete.

Effect: They live quietly, prepared for any arcane resurgence, monitoring the patterns of power in their children and the world beyond.

Gaz: Is he dead? Soap, is he fucking dead??

Soap: I think he's sleeping??

Ghost: *laying flat on his stomach on the floor, face against a pillow*

Gaz: He has to be dead, he hasn't moved in hours

Soap: Or he's sleeping!

Price, walking up to Ghost: He's not fucking dead

Price, kicking him: Simon stop being a fucking tripping hazard

Ghost: *groans and rolls across the floor with his pillow*

Price: Yes- Sleep against the wall, fucking asshole

Gaz:

Soap: ... I was right

Gaz: This isn't normal

Stupid thing I thought of drawing ages ago when I was watching fruit basket

[localcultleadxr]

so I've been watching Gentlemen, and I saw Harry Goodwins (literally discovered that he exists today, my life is changed forever now), then I googled him and immediately thought "that's literally Oliver Queen, what the hell?"

I mean, look at him??? he's perfect for the role, can DC cast him in Batman 2 as a cameo or something???

I can already imagine him and Battinson together at one screen, give me that batarrow crumbs, I beg you DC

L would most DEFINITELY try to knock Light up, not caring if Light doesn't even have the ability to get pregnant since he's a guy and lacks the parts but L firmly believes when there's a will there's a way lmao

But if you want to go the darker route maybe for a fic L would get Light pregnant just to leave his mark on Light, to make sure Light will always be carrying a piece of L with him whether he wants to or not, further tying him down to the detective. Even though L is long dead, Light still has to raise a child that reminds him of his enemy. Every little thing the child does is like watching L in action all over again. But try as he might, Light can't fully bring himself to hate the kid.

at maverick's forced promotion party, sarah kazansky shows up. no one is surprised to see admiral kazansky's widow there since everyone knows mav and ice were very close. what surprises maverick is the fact that she hands him a small bag and says:

"i was going through his belongings and found something that might be yours."

maverick refuses to open it for the rest of the night. refuses to see what it is, even tho the daggers have lots and lots of questions about it.

when he gets home, he closes the door behind him and rushes to open the bag. he takes an even smaller jewelry box out and silently gasps, his hand are trembling when he opens it.

two gold rings are sitting comfortably inside. something similar to ice and sarah's wedding ring, but in older fashion.

mav can't help but frown. what was sarah thinking? this is not his.

looking back inside the bag, he finds a note, date in the back marks 1994, the note, written in ice's beautiful calligraphy, says:

will you be my wingman for the rest of our lives?

maverick reads the note over and over again. flips it to check the date. then reread it. he thinks he might never stop crying.

nah since marvel is trending again I’m going to say it again louder for the people in back — canon steve rogers would never have chosen an “idyllic 1950s white pickett fence life” because the only place that man belonged was a picket LINE. the whole point of his character was that his work was never done. there was always going to be another oppressor, another bully, another person who takes advantage of the underprivileged for him to stand up to. from the moment he gained consciousness he, a chronically ill son of a working class mother living below the poverty line, used his voice and his body to protect & fight for what he believed in. I’m not sure there was ever a time pre-super soldier serum where he didn’t have a black eye. he could put the shield down all he wanted but he could never retire from being steve rogers — someone who never once turned a blind eye, who never once wanted a “reward” for his work, who never once abandoned his friends. this isn’t up for debate. this is almost a century of comic book & film/animated precedent. he may have been a man out of time, but in his words “it’s tempting to want to live in the past. it’s familiar, it’s comfortable. but it’s where fossils come from”
