Like, I Love Stories Where Good People Are Flawed And At Odds With Each Other, And Can Be Unfair To Each

my arcane x asoiaf // Melvika heart is singing because of @/olgasnoww on Twitter.

I think the reason why Melvika could 100% work is because despite the fact that they have different goals and values, they are kind of the same person. They both have these clear goals/values (Sevika wants a liberated Zaun through revolutionary means, Mel wants a strong Piltover through peaceful means) and they both have no issue crossing moral lines to do so. Mel is complicit in the corruption of the council, using it to her advantage in order to keep Jayce's house from being voted out, and Sevika is literally a mob boss who sells drugs to her own people. They both do this because they think that it will help further their goals, and they both fail miserably anyway (Zaun ends up worse as a result, and Piltover gets thrown into a violent war anyway). They are also both kingmakers; they recognize what they could achieve through other people and help bring them to power in order to achieve their own personal goals. Mel makes Jayce into a councilor and the de facto ruler of the city, and Sevika makes Silco the leader of the chembarons. They both do this through slightly nefarious means. Sevika betrays Vander and tries to literally kill his children, and Mel manipulates and uses Jayce.

They both have foils to their characters that they are seperated from and disagree with. Sevika has Vander, who she criticizes for choosing peace over liberation, and Mel has Ambessa, who she criticizes for believing violence is the only answer. Interestingly enough, Vander is extremely similar to Mel, and Sevika is extremely similar to Ambessa.

I think fundamentally if they were ever to meet, they would immediately be reminded of their foils in each other. They would call each other out for their failures and moral blindspots, but would ultimately make each other better people. Not only that, but their flaws are the other's strengths. Sevika is terrible at playing the politics game and isn't the smartest person (sorry but it's true) and Mel doesn't have the stomach for violence. By the end of season two, Mel ends up in Noxus, a place where you literally need to be ruthless to survive, and Sevika ends up in the council, where she needs to have the kind of political skill that Mel does. They need each other now. Idk all I'm saying is Sevika should def come back if they ever do the Noxus show lol.

trying to write a slowburn melvika fic fundamentally Does Not Work, I tried but I’m having to remove the tag because they’ve literally reached insane codependency at oympic speed

She’s literally 3 apples tall

Doechii's fit at the Schiaparelli Show 2025 was made for Mel Medarda 🔥

she... oh I love women :')

The Black Rose is so much more powerful and influential than I realized. They have control over so many families, have mages, rune soldiers, and demons at their disposal. Good luck to Mel; she's gonna need it.

I also think Mel lovers need to mentally prepare themselves for the tough choices she's gonna have to make and the grim situations she'll find herself in. I know we all want her to be happy, especially after everything that happened, but I don't think she's gonna find that happiness anytime soon. I think she's gonna go through some serious shit.

Her whole family is dead, and her family has fallen from high places; Mel is smart and knows she's gonna need allies, and many would need something from her in exchange. A lot also have secret motives and agenda.

Rell is a sure ally for her, is what I know. But still, it's gonna be hard...

The sevika i write is not the sevika that i know would exist

I know she'd be an egotistical asshole who fucks every single dyke she can get her hands on

But shes just a soggy kitty who needs love 😞😞😞
