People who dislike melvika bc they think the characters would hate each other are so funny. Like damn, y’all never heard of enemies to lovers??
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.
a lot of y'all are really showin y'all hand with this "oppressed people shouldn't date their oppressors!" shit because now it's making me think; y'all must get sick to y'all fucking stomach when y'all see a white person date a black person irl. or a cis4trans couple. or a financially stable person with a poor person. or just a man and a fucking woman, like, if you this bent over FICTION where you writing essays about how two consenting adults from different walks of life shouldn't be together then baby you're fucked when you go outside. "people should stick to their own kind" but make it... ✨liberal✨ y'all not even tryna hide it atp.
"erm you can't ship melvika because they've never even interacted—" you would've never survived the Jack Frost x Elsa x Merida trenches.
they're so princess!mel and knight!sevika...

✮⚡︎ sevika’s band name is The Z Rebels. they’re pretty big in zaun and even book shows in piltover surprisingly. sevika loved that she could rock out with her bass guitar and either hide in the foggy shadows on stage or stand right on edge and enthrall everyone with just her fingers.
✮⚡︎ she had unexpectedly met mel as the z rebels were setting up for their latest gig at a semi-fancy night club. mel commanded the room by the mere presence of walking in and popping her gum far too loudly. sevika couldn’t take her eyes off of mel either. she wore her hair in two large puffs in shapes of stars. sevika found herself loving mel’s two braids adorned with beads.
✮⚡︎ mel was one of the z rebels biggest fans. moving to piltover in somewhat exile hadn’t squashed her self expression or interest. she had found another punk scene in piltover thanks to the efforts of the zaun community. it slowly trickled into piltover but she enjoyed more the underground scene in zaun. so when she heard they were performing in piltover mel jumped on the opportunity to help with anything.
✮⚡︎ mel’s favorite member of the band, of course, was sevika. she loved the range of emotions sevika could invoke with just her bass. and it helped sevika was insanely attractive. mel had come to the night club in hopes of catching sevika alone. she watched as the band did sound checks with a noticeable excitement radiating off of her.
✮⚡︎ it was sevika who had made the first move. she could feel mel’s eyes on her the entire sound check. taking account of mel green eyes lighting up when sevika practiced her solo. sevika doesn’t think she could have resisted mel anyway. because the second sevika hopped off of stage and crossed to mel—the younger woman shot out of her chair with a huge smile. her plaid skirt was frayed and sewed with patches of other material. when sevika got closer she almost stumbled backwards. the club lights didn’t do mel any justice.
✮⚡︎ mel found it exceptionally easy to talk with sevika despite being star struck. sevika’s dry humor and slight awkwardness allowed mel to feel comfortable around sevika. and sevika could not pull her eyes away from the green ones that looked up at her with such fondness and adoration.
✮⚡︎ sevika certainly had slept with a few groupies. most of the band did. it’s not the reason she started but it certainly made playing fun when they were sometimes so severely underpaid from gigs. but for some reason she couldn’t bring herself to drag mel into a bathroom stall. sevika knew mel deserved more than that.
✮⚡︎ mel and sevika met up the following day at local restaurant in zaun. when mel suggested it—sevika rambled on with slight offense that mel didn’t need to placate her. she could afford to eat in piltover despite not wishing to. but when mel defiantly spoke back and told sevika to get over herself—well sevika did just that.
✮⚡︎ it was very much a surprise to the other band members when mel started attending all their gigs. and it was even more of a surprise when sevika wrote her first song. the idea dawned on her when mel rested her chin and hand on sevika’s stomach after a session of lovemaking. a word sevika would normally never use.
✮⚡︎ sevika’s song to mel was an instant hit. they were getting interests for a record deal. and potentially a proper tour. sevika twirled mel around in her arms once they signed their first deal. mel had offered to look over the contract and even get them a good lawyer.
✮⚡︎ people have made assumptions mel is the cash cow for the z rebels. which isn’t true. if they need something mel is the last person they’ll ask. mel also never offers unless it’s something dire. she knows how important it is for the entire band to say they worked hard. blood sweat and tears. but she adores throwing after parties in her penthouse for them. she loves having the unity of zaun and piltover be initiated through a fucking punk rock band.
✮⚡︎ and mel’s job…well…one day she’s a painter. the next day she’s a writer. for a brief period she became the band’s photographer until vi pointed out she only took pictures of sevika. not like sevika cared too much. sevika knew mel was a trust fund baby but it didn’t bother her as it should’ve. mel never flashed her money or made sevika feel bad about her own upbringings.
✮⚡︎ eventually mel ended up selling her penthouse and her one and only big gift to the group was buying them their own home in zaun. it wasn’t perfect and needed lots of renovations. but she loved seeing sevika in her tank tops and work pants carrying around lumber and bags of concrete. and when mel’s and sevika room was done—mel took the time to create a mural in their room that reminded her of the love growing between her and sevika.

“This is ridiculous,” mumbled Sevika as she stood in the middle of an aisle in a random drugstore.
Jinx cocked her hip out and tapped her boot against the grey carpet. Isha pulled candy from shelves she could reach, lifting them to Jinx’s eyesight. Jinx would seriously give the candy some consideration but then shake her head and shoo Isha off to find another option. Isha found a bag of suckers that were heart shaped and red, of course, and excitedly bounced. Presenting them to Jinx, the younger girl bit her lip with the need for Jinx’s approval shimmering brightly in her eyes. Dropping her eyes to Isha, Jinx hummed thoughtfully and grabbed the bag from Isha.
“You’re a genius, Isha!” Jinx exclaimed and affectionately ruffled the girl’s fading blue hair. Isha threw her arms up in victory then ran further down the aisle where they kept the stuffed animals and other random toys.
Jinx turned the bag of lollipops over in her hands. Sevika somewhat curiously dropped her eyes to where Jinx inspects the candy despite the huffing and puffing she’s doing.
“How will this possibly help?” Sevika grabs the bag of lollipops as if all her questions will be answered.
Jinx rolls her eyes exasperatedly and reaches for the bag again but Sevika is faster and lifts the bag of lollipops over her head. She laughs with an amused huff as Jinx jumps once to reach the bag. Sevika uses her other hand to gently push Jinx away by her forehead.
Jinx swats at Sevika’s hand and ducks underneath. Crossing her arms over her chest, Jinx begins tapping her foot again on the floor. “Do you want my help or not?”
Sevika seriously considers her then sighs. “Yes…”
“Good!” Jinx immediately brightens up and drops her arms from her chest. “Get the lollipops and pick Mel up from work. Then take her for a drive to the overlook. You should pick something up to eat maybe.”
Sevika’s grey eyes slightly widen with the instructions. She hadn’t realized how big of a deal Valentine’s Day was. Well, she did, but she never put effort behind it. The 42 year old woman hadn’t the opportunity or time to invest much in long term relationships. Valentine’s Day if it came around and she had a lady—Sevika mainly would grab a rose or two from the aunties selling on the sidewalks. A good roll in the sheets and spooning always did the trick for her very brief trysts.
But then Sevika met Mel. Unexpectedly on jazz night at Sevika’s favorite hole in the wall club. She could not take her eyes off the woman in her modernized flapper dress that moved and sparkled with each breath Mel took. Mel laughed at all of Sevika’s corny jokes and touched her arms and shoulders as she did. Sevika found herself holding her breath every time Mel’s green eyes caught perfectly in the candlelight on the table.
It was no surprise to either of them when Mel ended up in Sevika’s lap. But it was a surprise to Sevika after two days she could not stop thinking about the woman. Then days turned to weeks until Mel and Sevika were an official couple of seven months.
Now a few weeks after seven months together, Valentine’s Day lurked around the corner. Mel had not necessarily dropped hints more so smacked Sevika in the face with them. She foolishly confided in Jinx and Jinx cackled on the couch with her hands on her stomach and tears in her eyes. Sevika failed to find anything amusing about her situation. Asking the 19 year old girl for any advice about love and relationships felt belittling and embarrassing. But Sevika slowly realized she did not mind so much if it meant seeing that smile on Mel’s face. The smile where Mel cannot help but giggle and her cheeks swell so high—Sevika is convinced they’ll swallow Mel’s eyes.
Sevika checks the time on her watch—1:38pm. It’s enough time to get home, freshen up and get Mel’s favorite meal before picking her girlfriend up. To an outsider Sevika grumbling something under her breath sounds incoherent but to Jinx she understands every word. Jinx gives her guardian of 7 years a curled lip and shrugs but calls out for Isha. Isha runs down the aisle with a scrappy looking teddy bear. She holds it closely to her chest before stopping in front of Sevika. Isha bashfully drops her eyes to her feet before slowly lifting the bear up.
Sevika arches an inquisitive eyebrow at both the girl and the teddy. The teddy bear fits in Sevika’s hand as she reaches for it.
“For you or Mel?” Sevika asks in a soft tone despite her voice being naturally gruffly. She watches as Isha grunts then nods her head —effectively communicating the teddy bear is for Mel. Sevika hums then playfully nudges Isha’s chin. With her girls closely behind, Sevika heads towards the self checkout with the bag of heart shaped lollipops and teddy bear.
Jinx already lifted Isha for a piggyback ride and Jinx is babbling about something related to her engineering class. Isha pretends to understand and nods enthusiastically with everything Jinx is saying. The girl even looks deep in thought when Jinx asks her a question. Sevika shakes her head half heartedly when Jinx exclaims, “Exactly! That’s what I said! His project wasn’t even that impressive.”
“How much do you think the arm will swipe for?” Jinx unexpectedly blurts out while hip checking Sevika.
Sevika narrows her eyes, her eyebrows pushing together as she whips her head to Jinx. “My arm?” Sevika instinctively flexes the mechanical fingers on her prosthetic in response.
Jinx nods her head in a way Sevika is convinced it’ll snap off. Sevika grunts in response and turns back to the self-checkout. But Jinx continues talking. “I could probably create a barcode and we could swipe it. It’ll be a mystery!”
Sevika, disgruntledly grabs the receipt and bag and carefully reaches for Isha who is now making grabby hands for the older woman. Sevika props Isha on her hip with her non-prosthetic arm then nudges Jinx in a way that the teenage girl awkwardly stumbles backwards.
“Sheesh…you’d think with love in the air you’d be less tense.”
*ੈ𑁍༘⋆°❀.ೃ࿔* *ੈ𑁍༘⋆°❀.ೃ࿔* *ੈ𑁍༘⋆°❀.ೃ࿔* *ੈ𑁍༘⋆°❀.ೃ࿔*
A few hours later, Sevika is parked outside of Mel’s office. Her brilliant girlfriend works as a public defender. She promised Sevika she would get off early at 3:30pm. Now Sevika patiently leans against the hood of her car in a pair of black jeans, a fitted white shirt and tan corduroy jacket. Of course she’s wearing the gold chain Mel graciously bought for Sevika’s birthday.
Mel’s heels clack against the weathered concrete pavement that leads out of the gated building and into the parking lot. She peeps Sevika’s arm is bent behind her back even as she leans on her car. Lifting her eyes to cover the glare from the sun, Mel smiles delicately at Sevika once she stops a few inches away from her girlfriend.
“Hi, handsome.”
Sevika grumbles, not because she doesn’t appreciate the compliment, but because it makes her cheeks burn with a blush. Gripping what’s behind her tightly, Sevika draws it forward and presses it against Mel’s chest.
“Happy Valentine’s Day.” Sevika jumbles the words quickly and her eyes darting to the side.
Mel’s eyes widened just a bit. She drops her gaze to the item pressed against her chest. It’s a rather scruffy looking teddy bear with a bouquet of heart shaped lollipops tied to its paws. Mel’s confused expression turns into one of delight. Her face spreads into that smile Sevika cannot get enough of. Mel’s fingers wrap around Sevika’s holding the gift. She lifts herself on her toes and presses a chaste kiss to Sevika’s lips. Mel opts not to wipe away the red lipstick now on Sevika’s lips.
Mel’s smile remains even as her lips brushed against Sevika’s. “You remembered.”
Sevika nods slowly, her eyes still closed from the head rush induced by Mel’s radiant smile and brief kiss. “How could I not? You made it very obvious I was not allowed to forget.”
“I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration, my love.”
“Says the woman that woke me out of my sleep to remind me Valentine’s Day is 14 days away.”
Mel scrunches her face from the blush growing underneath her cheeks. Sevika cannot see the blush but she can absolutely tell by the way Mel’s nose bunches up like a kitten. Sevika laughs which allows Mel to laugh and both their hearts practically swell out of their chests seeing their partner filled with innocent joy and laughter.
Mel holds the bear dearly to her face, inspecting the toy and the lollipops. She brings it underneath her nose, sniffing Sevika’s subtle cologne. “Tell Isha and Jinx I appreciate them helping you.”
Sevika scoffs rather offended for someone that did need the help of a teenager and pre-pubescent kid. “Yeah, whatever.” She straightens up when Mel’s green eyes bore into hers from behind the teddy bear. “I mean…I will. There’s other stuff on the agenda though.”
“Oh?” Mel tugs a lollipop free from its ribbon tied bouquet. Sevika hums with a head nod then gently pats Mel’s hip. Mel understands the silent cue, following Sevika to the passenger side as the older woman opens the door for her. Mel immediately inhales deeply, smelling the symphony of scents dancing around her nose. Her stomach grumbles in reaction.
“Baby…what did you get?” Mel peers over the seat and sees a bag of food. Her mouth waters and she has to refrain from reaching. But Sevika, always a diligent boyfriend, brings the bag forward once settled into the front seat.
Sevika widens the plastic bag and Mel leans over the middle console for a better look. “I got most of your favorites from Ms. Josie’s. Netta threw in a lot of extras. You hungry now?”
Mel’s pupils visibly dilate hearing “favorites” and “Ms. Josie’s.” Ms. Josie’s is a Caribbean/West African spot that’s a staple of the community since Mel could walk. It’s kept in the family and even on the gloomiest days the food brings a smile to Mel’s face.
“Did you get bag rice? Because yes, I’m hungry but I can wait.” Mel bites her lip and further leans over the console. She watches Sevika dig through the bag before pulling out jollof rice and stew chicken wrapped tightly in a sandwich bag. “Ah! Did I ever tell you I love you?” Mel exclaims far more joyous than Sevika anticipated and reaches out for the item.
As Mel bites off the corner from the plastic bag, she fails to notice the shocked expression on Sevika’s face. No, Mel had never told Sevika she loved her. It was not something they had officially said to each other yet. The words ring in Sevika’s ears as she dumbfoundedly watches Mel eat the food. Her teeth, lips and fingers work in unison to tug the rice into her mouth as she pushes it upwards. Sevika’s never found eating attractive or cute. It’s only eating. But Mel makes little noises of contentment and even occasionally closes her eyes. Her lips are oily and there’s lipstick stain on the bag. Once Mel is near the end of the bag, Sevika finally swallows the parched ache in her throat.
“You love me?” Gosh, Sevika thinks she sounds pathetic. Her tone cracks slightly and the words come out in a faint whisper. She would’ve reviled more in the confused look on Mel’s face if it weren’t something so serious.
Mel blinks her confusion but then the realization dawns in her green eyes. “Oh…” Her slender fingers reach up to touch her lips then she looks over at Sevika. “I…” Mel trails off, nervously nibbling on her bottom lip. “Of course, I love you. How could I not? Seven months with you feels like seven days and seven years. You’re my protector and my best friend. I’m absolutely in love with you, Sevika.”
*ੈ𑁍༘⋆°❀.ೃ࿔* *ੈ𑁍༘⋆°❀.ೃ࿔* *ੈ𑁍༘⋆°❀.ೃ࿔* *ੈ𑁍༘⋆°❀.ೃ࿔*
Sevika’s eyes are closed in blissful wonderment as Mel stands between her legs. They finally made it to the overlook— after Mel confessed, yes, she did love Sevika and Sevika ended up shedding two drops of tears exactly (she will not admit to anymore despite Mel’s teasing). Mel sobbed most of her makeup away as Sevika confessed she knew she loved Mel after four months. After introducing her girlfriend to Jinx and Isha and seeing…feeling…how perfectly she fit into Sevika’s little family.
At the overlook, Sevika and Mel gladly indulged in all the food and extras. They halfheartedly argued over if it’s curry goat or goat curry—Sevika’s guyanese heritage never letting this go. As the sun sets, Mel happily presses red stained kisses all over Sevika’s face and neck. The smile on Sevika’s face can only be described as love-drunk. Her hands are firmly holding Mel’s waist as her girlfriend leans down, peppering her adoration into her skin. Perhaps Valentine’s Day isn’t cheesy and corny after all.
