Summary
They call her Starling because “The Amnesiac Who Fell From Nowhere” was too much of a mouthful. She arrives with no past but plenty of talent, landing her in the Talis Lab, and right in the middle of Piltover’s political chessboard. Naturally, Jayce is smitten before he even understands why, while Viktor’s fascination slides dangerously close to obsession.
Told through multiple POVs, this story follows the mystery of Starling and how her very presence shakes the foundation of Piltover and the lives of Jayce, Viktor, Mel, Heimerdinger, Marcus, and even Silco. Set during the season one timeskip, this is a sloooow-burn character drama about identity, obsession, and the ripple effect of a woman who shouldn’t exist. Expect pining, drama, political scheming, friendship feels, and a healthy serving of “just kiss already.” You've been warned 😉
