Summary
Jayce sits straight, small bundle still in his arms, stiff and far away. There is a dark blue envelope on the table in front of him decorated with gilded crossed keys. Panic grips Viktor. Somehow, they have been found out. They will be dragged back to their world and he will be executed or imprisoned, separated from his family. With a stunning clarity he didn’t know he possessed, Viktor understands that he does not want that. It should feel like some kind of breakthrough, years of guilt suddenly recontextualized and repackaged. It doesn’t. He fights the urge to pick up Mena and run. He knows he physically can’t, he knows it would be too much to explain to her, no matter how clever she is. But. most important of all, he cannot survive without Jayce and Jayce is frozen.
“Dada?” Mena calls out when Viktor does nothing but hold her hand too tightly, keeping them stuck in the doorway.
Jayce blinks quickly as if waking from a dream. He turns slowly, his blank face breaking into a false, brittle smile when he sees them.
OR
Jayce and Viktor fall into old habits as the past comes calling.

Summary
“Hold on,” Jayce says, suddenly letting go of Viktor and hurrying away.
He returns a moment later and places a ring on the table in front of Viktor. It is simple, gold, with their initials engraved inside of it in Jayce’s precise hand. Viktor studies it for a long time, letting it grow warm in his palm.
“We don’t have to,” Viktor finally says.
“V, I’ve wanted to for…for ages. I just…it was never the right time,” Jayce replies.
“And this is?”
“Traditionally, yes.”Jayce and Viktor await their first child. A familiar face appears. There is a snow storm. Viktor wonders if he can ever go home. Post-canon, set in a world where Piltover never existed.

Summary
Jayce was staring at the wall when Viktor found him, stubble already overgrown, hair shorn. He looked broken, fragile. A lost little boy thrown to wolves. Viktor had the ridiculous urge to pull him close, stroke his hair, and let him fall asleep in his lap, safe from harm. He didn’t know the man, only his journal.
“I hope I am not interrupting,” Viktor said, halfway between the dark humor of his home and Piltover politeness.
Jayce’s hazel eyes swung to him, bloodshot and puffy. He shook his head once, slowly, as if he were ashamed. The urge to cradle him grew stronger, a living thing in his chest.
Jayce is thrown into Stillwater after his experiment kills a teenage girl. Viktor finds his journal and becomes obsessed, retreating to Zaun to continue his work with the help of his old mentor. It only takes seven years of obsessive work and a jailbreak to reunite them.

Summary
“Are you gonna blurt it out again?” Jinx asked.
"No,” Viktor said, folding the paper neatly and tucking it into his shirt pocket.
“Good. Also, I know you didn’t get Talis.”
“I don’t see how you could possibly tell.”
“You didn’t get that goofy look on your face,” Jinx teased.
Viktor glared at her.
********
“Who’d you get?” Jayce asked by way of greeting.“Mel. Could be worse,” Caitlyn said. “You?”
“Vander,” he said, crestfallen.
“Hm. You were hoping for Viktor.”
Jayce nodded even though it was not a question.
“You already got him some sentimental, perfect gift.”
Another nod to another non-question.
Viktor and Jayce crash out just a little as they try to get each other for the office secret gift exchange.

Summary
"When should we go?” Jayce asked.
“We are not going. I am going. They will take one look at you and know an easy mark,” Viktor said firmly, eyeing Jayce’s…everything.
“I’m not an easy mark.”
“A ten year old robbed you in the technical sense because you cannot haggle,” Viktor said bluntly.
“Yeah and if he hadn’t, I might not have met you,” Jayce said, bumping his shoulder against Viktor’s.
Viktor blushed. He wished Jayce wouldn’t say things like that. It made it harder to maintain their friendly whatever it was they had going on for nearly two years now.
Viktor is attacked while visiting the Undercity. He realizes he might not belong anywhere. Jayce has some thoughts on that.

a midsummer night's dream (or: the terminal velocity of restraint) by kattricia

Summary
It should not matter. They’re not even a year in. They don’t share an apartment. They’ve barely begun. But sometimes, when Jayce is in the bath and reading aloud with no awareness of his volume, Viktor forget’s that they don’t. The line between yours and mine is already smudged beyond recovery. They share lab keys and research grants and too many nights that blur into dawn. Doctoral candidates with matching lanyards and no time for office hours. Jayce teaches part of a seminar he half-prepares in Viktor's bed. Viktor models quantum diffusion systems at 3 a.m with Jayce’s hand buried in his hair, breath warm at his nape.
They orbit each other like binaries – two distinct bodies locked in shared momentum, gravity-born and holy in their tether. And still, it’s not enough.
Because skin is finite. Desire, however, obeys no such law.
(or: Viktor, astuary king, walks aside Jayce's favor, his comfort and all)
