Summary
"Gramps died in the suit before I was born. Dad died fighting Shroud then a little after I took over. The family tradition if there is one is dying in the suit."
Words said by a drunken Roberta Robertson as she talked to Blonde Blazer about her origin. But what if she doesn't want to get back in the suit. What if she decides to do other things to help people to avoid that tradition. She doesn't need to go out like her father and grandfather before her and Blazer just gave her the golden ticket out of that possible fate. At least that's what she's banking on.

Summary
**Please keep in mind that this is a reader insert story, with certain details added to better fit the setting, tone, and world of Arcane. The central romance is between Vi and the OC/Reader Noxian woman**
Three years have passed since the battle against Ambessa’s army and the Herald—the clash that scarred Piltover forever. The city has rebuilt, but not without fractures. Then came the news that turned fear into political fire: Swain had claimed what remained of the Hextech disaster, intent on rebuilding it for his own power; and to settle the score for the death of one of Noxus’s own generals.
Things escalate further when a mysterious, memoryless Noxian woman washes ashore with something volatile in her veins, something feral beneath her skin, and a strength no ordinary human should possess.
And Vi is assigned to stay close, whether she likes it or not. She expected duty. Trouble. Nothing more. What she didn’t expect was for the lines between obligation and something else to blur the longer they remain in each other’s orbit.

Summary
“Soren… you were never the problem.”
The words landed hard—soft in tone, but heavy in meaning. Soren gave her a smile, small and cracked at the edges, the kind you wear when the real one’s buried too deep to reach.
Vi saw through it, of course. She always had. But she didn’t call it out.
“Yeah,” Soren said quietly, turning her eyes back to the smogged-up sky. “Just the problem’s daughter.”
And there it was—the truth that never stopped stinging, no matter how many times she said it out loud.
Vi let the silence settle like dust between them—soft, undisturbed. She didn’t rush to fill it. Just sat there beside Soren, close enough to feel the heat of her but not close enough to touch.
There were a hundred things Vi could’ve said. A hundred ways to soften the truth. But none of them would change what already lived in Soren’s bones.
She was Silco’s daughter.
There was no washing that off. No scrubbing clean the parts of her soul that had soaked in gunpowder and smoke since she was old enough to understand the language of war. It ran in her bloodstream, pulsed beneath her skin. And when she bled, it was his blood that hit the pavement.
