alright here's my idea - an au where jayvik meet as kids, with viktor working for a street magician, rigging all the fake tricks behind the scenes, and jayce as a little magic fanboy đŞâ¨
some thoughts on this au:
jayce has been obsessed with magic acts ever since his life was saved by a sorcerer. there's a new performer in town who can do tricks no one else can, and jayce in convinced he must be the real deal. one day he sneaks backstage in the hopes of finding evidence of real magic, but finds viktor instead, who he assumes must be the magician's apprentice!
viktor is torn because he doesn't want to ruin this kid's enthusiasm, or risk losing his job by revealing the truth. but he also... really doesn't want to be a wizard. so he comes clean. (lol)
jayce is a little bummed to find out it's not real, but when viktor shows him how the practical effects work, jayce becomes enchanted once more. they look so convincing!! technology that can replicate magic?? he thinks that's brilliant.
from then on viktor has a little tag-along at all of their shows, and jayce even starts calling himself viktor's apprentice. viktor's embarrassed, obviously, but also undeniably charmed. he and jayce become friends, him teaching jayce about engineering and jayce (trying to) teach him about the arcane.
they are earth shatteringly adorable the entire time đ

Theyâre all so lucky that Nat has never actually joined in on one of the card draw hunts because she would be absolutely lethal
itâs so interesting to watch harry potter fans continue to try and distance the series/characters from the creator when jkr said this in 2023:
i get it, harry potter was important to me too. i played hogwarts with my friends, i started a harry potter club, i had a wand and robes. i almost took âreligion and harry potterâ as a freshman in college!! but when i found out that jkr was a transphobic nazi sympathizer? i dropped that shit so fast. it was kind of sad but mostly i was just angry at jkr. and i understood that the characters were fake while transgender people are real. you have to realize that transgender people are more important, right? and nonbinary people like myself because iâm pretty sure she hates me too but itâs mostly trans folks
and yeah you can interpret the characters however you want! you can make them black, queer, trans, whatever you want! youâre still using her characters, her series. her bigotry is inherent in her creations. you canât separate it and the fuck would you want even the smallest part in it?? just let it fucking die, already, please. or if you canât give up a mediocre fantasy series, you could at least admit that youâre not the best ally, huh?
âi was finally financially able to contribute and i am so so sorry it took me so long. i hope you and your family are safe, as safe as you can be.
i am so sorry for your losses. i wish i could have done more and i wish i could have done it faster.

Nat's relationship with the Wilderness is so fascinating to me. She is clearly playing the role of the group's skepticâshe resists the rituals, challenges Lottieâs authority, and often positions herself as the rational voice amid rising hysteria. But underneath it all, she does believe in the Wilderness, perhaps even more deeply and purely than many of the others.
Nat's defiance and skepticism is a defense mechanism. No matter how much she denies it, even to herself, there is some part of Nat that knows the Wilderness is real. But unlike those who romanticize the idea of the Wilderness as a source of self-preservation, salvation, or hope, Natalie sees it for what it truly is: something wild, hungry, dangerous, and intimately tied to their worst impulses. Nat and Lottie possess a unique understanding of the Wilderness as something that lives inside of them all, rather than an external force. I think it's very possible Nat has felt it from the beginning, some darkness within all of them, and it terrifies her. Her resistance is a form of self-protection, a way to maintain some sense of autonomy in the face of something she instinctively knows could consume her. Rather than give herself over to it like the others, she fights it tooth and nail, perhaps knowing better than anyone what it is capable of.
