Zaun's Finest - Inside Job

I had been playing around with the au concept of Piltoven Powder/Jinx, and most commonly is that Viktor is the one to find her. But while playing with this set up, a surprise meeting came in the form of Sky who I think would be an excellent mother figure to a very troubled Powder after the botched rescue.

My headcanon is that since Viktor would take pity for Powder as a fellow Zaunite he'd still need a hand in trying to manage this child who has been through a lot. Sky being half a Piltoven half Zaunite orphan who was aged out of the system would understand a great deal about kids and their various troubles. Particularly after suffering the loss of family or abandonment issues.

Viktor would give Powder encouragement to improve her skills to do great things. However the pressure to do great might get to her head and make her overwhelmed. But Sky's emotional support could help a lot in regards to feeling like someone actually believes in her and isn't a screw up.... Or in this case a Jinx.

oh Vi you are so much stronger than me … ☹️💛

THIS IS FOR YOU, VI LOVERS!!! 🫶

Shoutout to Arcane editors for fuelling me for so long

This art is very sad and painful (and they say that Vi didn't suffer much in the show)

RKS just fits so much of arcane's vibes idk

I was thinking about how Act 1 Powder was a similar age to Vi in the opening scene, and from Act 2 onward Jinx was a similar age to Act 1, maybe only a little older

SOBBING HER MUM USED TO DO THE HAND SIGN 😭😭😭

You still don't hate Piltover enough

The #sugarisnotacondiment AU is pretty much a modern one and I was like... The chances that Powder is just nickname are very high, so I came up with the idea that Felicia and Connol wanted to name their kid after his grandma, or something. 🤣✌️

Oh I’m gonna cry
