Summary
THELYSS: I think I could have floated beside him in stasis forever, ignoring the obvious. Once he offered the precise object of my desire, which I had been concealing from even myself, I panicked.
INTERVIEWER: And what did you say to him?
THELYSS: We fought about it. We had to. In the Nein, it is prerequisite for doing anything.
WIDOGAST: In the end, it was about fear, as it always is.
— The Mighty Nein's rocket to fame involves more drama, mystery, abuse, sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll than any columnist can resist, but media accounts until now have been mostly secondhand. Tabloids and vultures run with the facts in the opposite direction, smearing half-truths and outrageous accusations onto any blank space, taking silence for admission.
It definitely doesn’t help that Thelyss admitted to stealing the Mouthpiece of the Luxon on national telellusion.
The following timeline contextualizes Widogast and Thelyss’s individual music careers, their collaborations, and the events surrounding a) the crimes of Volstrucker Records CEO Trent Ikithon, and b) Ikithon and Martinet Ludinus Da’leth’s undiscussed roles in the Mouthpiece of the Luxon Scandal.

Summary
The doctor hooked the cane over his arm and shifted his weight onto his left leg as he took the clipboard and pen in hand. “Thank you, eh…” His eyes danced around Jayce’s body looking for a name tag as he handed the form back, “Mr. Talis.” Stuck in the vice grip of two strikingly bright, amber eyes, Jayce realized this was the first time the doctor had actually looked at him.
“Yeah, no problem.” He swallowed down the temptation to call the doctor a jerk-fuck asshole and briskly left, his blood boiling the whole way out. Signed across the bottom of his papers in perfect cursive was the name of Jayce’s new nemesis.
Viktor M. Herald, MD.

all this longing - ships left to rust by theroyalsavage

Summary
Five years ago, Jayce made an impulsive offer to build Hextech weapons to combat the rising tide of Undercity airship piracy. In response, Viktor torched their research and disappeared from Piltover for good.
Five years ago, a new airship took to the skies, with a young captain and a misfit crew and a massive, impossible tree growing straight through the hull.
These two events are completely unrelated - unless, of course, they're not.
Jayce steps into Viktor's space. His fist closes in the lapel of Viktor's overcoat. It's a little foolish, but he half-expects this whole thing to be some kind of hallucination. Something at the back of his brain imagines his hand will pass through Viktor like mist. It doesn't, and that, more than anything, makes this feel like more than a hypervivid variation on the same dream Jayce has been having for years now.
In his dreams, Viktor always has the clammy chill of a cadaver. This Viktor feels so warm under Jayce's hand, he thinks his skin might come away scalded.Bookmarked by Sign138

Dead Poets of Piltover by dreamingofiteasy

Summary
“Will you read to me?” Viktor asks quietly, now caressing the back of Jayce’s head with a scratch of his flesh fingers.
Jayce blinks himself awake and scoots up from between Viktor’s thighs to place a chaste peck of agreement to his dry lips.
He reaches over to his nightstand to grab his well-loved poetry book; it’s still the same burgundy one Jayce took with him from the library all those years ago. Viktor wonders if he ever went back to properly check it out, or if it's been catalogued as missing and lost to time forever.
He watches Jayce crack open the book with nimble fingers, caressing the cracks in the spine from years of use in the same deferential manner he touches the curvature of Viktor’s own body with. His hands trace the burgundy leather as if it were his skin, the whorls of Jayce’s fingertips converting every scar and line of muscle to a stanza in the poem he’s spent his entire existence writing for Viktor in his heart.
Jayce shuffles through the pages. “Would you like to do the honors?”
Viktor shakes his head. “You pick tonight.”
✦ OR ✦
Four poems Jayce reads to Viktor through four different seasons of their lives together over the years.

Summary
The Machine Herald is captured by Piltover after a failed attack on the bridge, and he is mortally wounded in the process. Jayce must risk everything to save him and repair the damage done, racing against the clock as Piltover hunts him down for treason, but the history between them complicates things. Despite his claims that his actions are no longer dictated by emotion, Viktor is still harboring anger and hatred for his exile in the wake of Jinx's attack, and blames Jayce for what happened. But despite it all, they still care about each other (in their own violent, traumatized ways) and as time runs out, necessity forces them to face the past—and each other—if they want to get out of this unscathed.

Summary
He remembered the sweat and heat of a love confessed too late in the quiet stretch of dawn, and the mutual betrayal of trust that reduced it all to ashes.
He remembered Viktor refusing to look back at him as he disappeared across the bridge.
And he remembered hating himself every day since.

Summary
Instead of dissolving with Viktor like Jayce expected, he gets sent a decade into the past when Viktor didn’t even know him yet. Of course the logical action to take is to kidnap him. Meanwhile Viktor, twenty-two years old, figures that hey, as long as he can research magic, this isn’t too bad of a predicament.
Or: Post-Season 2 Jayce and Season 1 Viktor, the grief of having lost your soulmate while having to look at his younger version who doesn’t even know you, the endless exhaustion of being a second-hand love and also science.

They'd Even Steal the Stars From Us by mylevelance

Summary
Some people are marked for greatness. Whether they're ready for it is another thing altogether.
Jayce isn't cut out for greatness. He's just an engineering student with too much pressure and not enough sleep. When his latest invention goes horribly wrong at a very public science fair, all he wants to do is throw himself off the observatory roof. Instead, he finds an irresistibly snarky lab assistant who understands him better than he ever could have imagined.
Viktor isn't cut out for greatness. He's just a frustrated astronomy student whose body lets him down almost as much as his peers. All he wants is some peace and quiet. Instead, he gets a clumsy golden boy with an idea almost as compelling as him.
It looks like greatness is a two-man job.

Summary
Amidst the war efforts against invasion by Ambessa Medarda, Jayce goes missing. He finds himself below in the locked down leftovers of Zaun, finding someone he thought long gone, accompanied by one of the last thought-to-be-dead people he would've expected.
Viktor, the unusual mage healer and leader of The Commune, unexpectedly has his past unrequited love dropped on his doorstep before him and his De-facto right hand, and he discovers those long buried emotions were not unrequited after all. However...are they enough to convince him to help in the war, when the one thing he's the most afraid of is not Noxus, or Ambessa, or the fall of Piltover; it is in fact, himself.

Summary
Jayce thought it was over, that Machine Herald was no more, and they could pass on in peace. Only for him to find out its not quite over yet, and they have been called by actual celestial gods to save the few timelines left from oblivion.
Finding Viktor lost in the abyss is just the first, easiest step, as it turns out following trials are going to be far more precarious and unpredictable. Inner Demons arise, Angels fall from the wastes, celestial children need guidance, old gods haunt the abyss. What starts as a deceivingly simple mission of saving countless Viktors from themselves, spirals into something far more complex than either could’ve imagined.
Amidst all of this, there is a mantra they become painfully familiar with:
Beware the Hexdemon, for your actions have consequences.

Lies We Tell Ourselves by tenderwatches

05 Oct 2025

Summary
“Tell me what you were doing with the Hexcore. And… everything that came before.”
“Would you believe me if I said I was trying to protect you?”
Viktor returns to Piltover after years of exile with one certainty: he's dying.
Old wounds reopen when Viktor discovers Jayce has rebuilt the very thing he once betrayed Viktor over. Outrage blooms, but so too, do new possibilities—ones that uncover a dangerous connection between magic, ambition, and the looming Gray.
As they attempt to mend their fractured partnership, Jayce grapples with the part he has played in Piltover's fervent pursuit of progress—and in Viktor's continuing deterioration. They confront truths they've hidden from themselves as well as one another: desires long buried, sacrifices made in desperation, and how far either of them will go for love.
Some lies protect us, others destroy us—but the hardest ones to overcome are the lies we tell ourselves.
