Summary
“The thing to decide is what kind of monster to be. The kind who builds towns or the kind who breaks them.” ---Catherynne M. Valente
Jonathan Crane never planned to be a siren. He never expected the scales, the magic, nor the urge to lure men to a watery death. He finds he likes it quite well, more than he'd ever liked being human. He could have lived a fine, happy life, if Edward Nygma hadn't waltzed into his world like he owned the place and brought along a host of complications like monster hunters, the Batman, and worst of all: this pesky jump in Crane's heart-rate whenever he sees Nygma.

A League of Legends Primer for Fic Writers by bbeanbbeanbbean (sumantra)
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)
02 Dec 2021

Summary
Many Arcane fic writers are not League of Legends players, the video game that the show is based on, so I put together this primer to help writers create canon-compliant works. It includes: character ages, the show's timeline, characters' in-game bios (with commentary about their connection to Arcane), an overview of the Piltover/Zaun conflict, brief descriptions of the surrounding regions, and detailed descriptions of Piltover/Zaun's layout and geography.
To do: world timeline, local religion(s), species, magic
Now with visual aids to help spark inspiration! There's maps of both Piltover/Zaun, their denizens and the technology they created, and some glimpses into the world around them. (Best viewed on desktop, as they're quite large.)
(I apologize for clogging the tags; I'm trying to get this to as many writers and potential writers as possible.)

Summary
“I never considered it waiting around,” Miles says. “I never expected it to become anything more. You were giving me all that you were capable of, and—maybe it wasn’t exactly in the form I hoped for, but it was more than enough.”
“Miles,” says Phoenix, giddy. “That’s fucked up.”
