  3. Summary

    They have survived. Many have sacrificed, and more have retreated to legend, welcoming their rest. But there is work yet undone, and for those who remain, a call to arms.

    Summary
    • It lives. It tried to speak and walk, and succeeded in the second. I will observe for a longer time.
    • It lives!!
    • God is not only the vector of all this, but also a spectator. Even if it lasts only a day, for that day, I am His equal.
    • For a moment, the specimen looked at me as if it knew. Not with anger or reverence, not as if I were its creator, but with curiosity.
    • It lives.

    18th century. An intellectual in the small, dubious town of Piltover, Dr. Jayce Talis, does what no human has ever been able to do: bring a dead person back to life. It's incredible, a giant leap for science. However, the doctor didn't expect the creature to be so intelligent, competent, and terrifyingly seductive.

    [Jayvik Frankenstein AU.]

    Summary

    Viktor barely just managed to set his glass down, passing his flinch as a tremor of the hands. Jayce did not mean the words in any way but friendly jest, perhaps even concern—Viktor was hardly the paragon of health; and there was surely talk of his nonexistent prospects. Besides, Jayce did not know any ill-will could be involved in such an innocuous sentiment.

    The worst of his cruelty, after all, was unintentional.

    “I have no constitution for marriage,” Viktor said, swallowing the bile.

    [Or: After unwittingly becoming a scapegoat of an elaborate plan of Piltover’s higher echelons to eschew observing their own strict laws, Viktor finds himself caught at the heart of a scandal and arrested overnight. Jayce, raised to heed the very values which condemned him, is forced to either take the leap or stand idle and watch his life fall apart. A Maurice and Giovanni's Room inspired AU.]

    Summary

    Three years ago, Piltover exiled its golden boy for the crime of studying magic. Now Jayce Talis fixes what Zaun breaks at the bottom of an alley, grease worked permanently under his nails, a beard grown in over the pristine face his city used to want — and every night, in a cellar beneath the floor, he builds the things they forbade him.

    He does not mean to build a person. It happens anyway, on a night of bad weather, in a bloom of stolen light: a slender machine of steel and bronze who opens two golden eyes, looks down at Jayce’s bleeding hand, and observes, with great concern, “You are leaking.”

    Viktor is the world’s first conscious android. He is also curiously, catastrophically illegal — fascinated by rain, hopeless with social convention, devoted to a small yellow toad, and, Jayce is beginning to fear, the best thing he has ever made. Now Jayce has to keep him hidden. From the customers. From the enforcers who take thinking machines apart in the street. From himself, and the one word he keeps not letting himself write down.
