    Summary

    Jayce wanders into the black market to buy some materials for his new and "revolutionary" invention, but he ends up spending all his savings to buy a condemned slave.

    -

    It took Jayce a second to realize that the man was mouthing something— the same word, over and over and over again.

    Please.

    Please.

    Please.

    Please.

    Tears streaked down the man’s cheeks, tracing lines down his dirt-caked face. Jayce couldn’t take it anymore; the knot in his stomach bloomed into a protective rage.

    “I’ll take him.”

    Summary

    When Viktor finally asks why Jayce stayed behind inside the Anomaly with him, Jayce stares at him as though he’s supremely disappointed by the question— as if Viktor has betrayed his own brilliance by asking something so irredeemably stupid. “How could I not? We’re partners.”

    Partners, Jayce calls them. Not for the first time, Viktor wonders: Partners in what?

    *

    Or: Jayce and Viktor survive the Hexcore, a blizzard, their own bodies, sharing a bed and all the things they’re too afraid to say. Slowly, they put themselves back together— piece by stubborn piece.

    Summary

    There is a thing, and it is moving. He imagines he sees the back of its head, brown and life-bleached. A slash of blue rags swaddling a creature of stumbles and stubbed toes, faun-fresh footsteps over terrain that feels five miles below.

    There are cords. They are ashen greyandpurple, kintsugi spun between the threads. Too soft to be metal, too hard to be flesh.

    Viktor is not here.

    -

    Or, post canon, Jayce and Viktor are back in the land of the living but Viktor is experiencing more than a little disconnect with the experience of existing.
