Summary
It's been years since Jayce has last seen Viktor, yet a chance accident that necessitates Viktor's intervention drives them together again. Jayce is now stuck in Viktor's laboratory with a body that's half metal and far too foreign for his liking, navigating his recovery alongside a Viktor who—despite the years between them—is not all that different from the man he used to love.

Summary
Jayce blames everything – the unhelpful interest, the obsessive observation, the scribbling in his notebook; the memorizing and cataloguing and compartmentalizing – on Viktor being… Viktor. An enigma. A game of chess against someone so much smarter. A whole universe of unknown stars hidden behind an accented voice, eccentricities and unexplained habits. Because that’s what Viktor is, in the end – silently challenging and unperceived and an unresolved force of nature. As a scientist, Jayce cannot sit by and let a seemingly unsolvable conundrum with countless unknown variables be.
or: the inherent homoromanticism of getting to know your lab partner.

Summary
“Haven’t you learned, Defender?” He grabs Jayce’s jaw with cold metal fingers, “There’s no honor in war. Only death.”
Jayce takes in one gasping breath, gathers it, then spits into the Machine Herald’s face.
How’s that for honorable, he adds silently.
—Viktor and Jayce are deadly agents on opposite sides of the war. Amidst their attempts to stay alive and bring victory to their homelands they encounter each other instead.

Jayce desperately wants to rub at his forehead, but the binding at his wrist stops him. He settles for squeezing his eyes shut. “Why?” he asks.

Summary
The drugs wear off. Which is good, because Jayce was ready to crawl his way back to Zaun just to punch Viktor in the throat. Upon reflection, that was likely an overreaction. More importantly, it was undignified. Jayce still has to wait for himself to heal.
He's going to walk back to Zaun to punch Viktor in the throat.
__or, Jayce works through some complex emotions and tries to logic his way out of being in love with his nemesis.
