Summary
“When do you jerk off?”
Jayce’s mind catches up with his mouth halfway through his sentence. Maybe he should puke again, for tactical reasons. God forbid he doesn’t say something socially suicidal in front of Viktor for a single time tonight.
“Gross. Jayce, what?”
OR;
2005: Jayce and Viktor, roommates at MIT, bind ties between each other’s lives, strangled by both old and new emotions.
2025: A fateful return to Cambridge. Now strangers, Jayce and Viktor attempt to untangle the mistakes of their youth together over one night.

Summary
How is he even supposed to respond to that?
Thanks, I’m well aware of how people see me and how they want me. The one fumbling entanglement in the basement of a house party was enough for me though, because she found it weird when I started crying and then got so mad that I wouldn’t scent her that she left.
And I only did it because she smelled so good, like a river, like fresh cut grass, and it made me so jealous I was dizzy with it. I wanted to be her, and I thought that was close enough to wanting her, and it wasn’t, and it took five minutes for my knot to go down after I locked myself in the bathroom to jerk off and I had a panic attack the whole time and then I threw up in the sink and vowed to be celibate for the rest of my life.
“She’s not my type either,” he settles on, maybe more melancholic than he means to be.

Summary
From his post, Viktor had a perfect view of him, ever studious and ever handsome, so young. Anyone with eyes and an interest in men would find Jayce interesting to watch across the room, he often told himself. Viktor was no stranger to attraction, but his proclivity for alone time had relegated him to a few trysts over the years, largely physical, never lasting. Just enough to scratch the itch.
Watching Jayce was scratching an itch.
Catching his eye across the room and smiling like they had a secret was scratching an itch.
But Viktor wasn’t delusional. With all of Paris at Jayce’s fingertips, it would be ill-advised and unthinkable for him to settle for a banged-up, old librarian.
---
Paris, 1976. University librarian Viktor can understand why he has a crush on a new, foreign grad student. He cannot understand why that student wants to be his friend.- Language:

“I heard about. You know," Jayce says.
“The Man of Progress is so eloquent,” Viktor replies. And now he knows exactly what this is about. “You heard that I am dying?”
(Two years after leaving Jayce and Hextech behind — one week after collapsing in his lab — Viktor has a visitor.)

the art of picking up the pieces by obscurelittlebird
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)

Summary
Before he can stop himself, he picks up the phone. Every ring seems to last for eternity. Please, he thinks, be there, pick up, don’t be dead, don’t be gone…
“Viktor?”
His heart jumps. Silco’s voice is muffled, sleep-thick, but oh so achingly familiar. He had not realised until now just how much he missed it.
“You do realise it is 2 o’clock in the morning?”
He tries to speak but no words come out. The guilt, perhaps, has stolen them.
“Has something happened?”
“Papa,” he finally whispers. “Papa. Papa.” And then all of a sudden he is bawling his eyes out, horrible, heaving gasps and sobs torn from his throat, wracking his thin frame, and distantly he is embarrassed, but he cannot seem to make himself stop.
Worn down by the crushing weight of (not actually) unrequited love, workplace disputes, past trauma, and the existential dread that comes with being an overachiever in your twenties, Viktor finally breaks. Papa Silco comes to pick up the pieces.
Returning to his childhood home in Zaun for a long-overdue rest, Viktor must reckon with his past, his future, and the terrifying prospect of allowing himself to be loved and cared for.

Summary
No story that starts with an overpass and a bottle of vodka ends well.
Here’s how it goes: boy is lonely. Alcohol and overpass cliche. Boy meets boy. Boy loves boy. Boy does not say a word about it. Happy montage. Slice of life montage. Sad montage. Boy and boy grow further apart. Boy leaves boy. Boy does not get over it. Alcohol and overpass cliche returneth. Boy is lonely.
Sisyphean indeed.
:::
Disillusioned, depressed and drunk, Viktor forgoes throwing himself off an overpass and takes the only marginally better route of texting his long-estranged best friend instead.
Or: Jayce turns up on Viktor’s doorstep after five years.

Summary
'Do you enjoy sex, Jayce? You seemed a little…in your head.'
'I was fine.' Jayce says, a little too quickly, his pulse a little too fast. 'Was it...bad?'
'Not at all. I had a good time. It was a change of pace, if truth be told. I always imagined that out of the two of us, it would be me in control of things.'

In which they have a breakthrough in the lab, and then another in Viktor's bed.

Summary
The stories say a siren's song is to be feared. They call it a curse, a death sentence.
They are wrong. The song is simply a beginning. The real danger is far softer, slower, and sweeter, a doom borne upon the siren's kiss.
Whatever the truth, Viktor has no cause for concern. For what would a siren want from a broken man like him, fleeing a lonely life in Piltover to another by the sea?

Summary
He pictures the funeral sometimes.
He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.
He pictures swallowing them himself.
Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

“I’m afraid the treatment options are—limited, Councilor,” the doctor had said. “Surgery would be somewhat unconventional, in this case. Given his condition, it may not be advisable.”
“Why not?”
“It would be hard on his body. There’s some risk to the fetus, as well.”
“The…” For a moment, Jayce was sure he’d misheard. “He’s pregnant?”

Summary
When Jayce was six years old, he watched a songbird hit his living room window. It hit with a hard, sickening thump, leaving behind nothing more than a few clinging feathers on the glass, so, so tiny that they seemed impossible, relics out of fairyland, small enough he could stick two onto the pad of his pointer finger with room to spare.
He went outside to get a closer look at them, to make an effort at peeling them off the windowpane, had been startled by the still little body under the windowsill, instead. He cupped it between his little hands as gently as he knew how, almost too scared to pick it up, to make it worse with his touch, to break something brittle.

Summary
“Not to be dramatic, but you scared a couple years off my life.”
“You are very dramatic.” Viktor tilted his head. “But if you ask me whether I am fine again, I will hit you with my cane.”
The words were out of his mouth before he’d even had the chance to process, and he nearly froze, not sure what possessed him to say such a thing. He opened his mouth, ready to do damage control, before—
Jayce barked out a laugh, loud and unrestrained.
“Yeah, well. Sorry for worrying about my partner.” Even through the faint sarcasm of the statement, the words were suffused with such fond, familiar warmth that Viktor felt his breath catch in his chest.
Partner?
Well. That certainly explained the touch. And the warmth in his voice. And the way Viktor leaned toward him instead of away— an innate response. This, at least, made sense now. Viktor had not dared to include this option as one of his preliminary hypotheses.
They were together. Dating. Whatever the most adequate term would be.
OR: Viktor gets amnesia, logically concludes he and Jayce are together, and starts running experiments to confirm it. Jayce is whipped. That's the fic.

Summary
Jayce was going to die. Right here, in this lab, from sheer secondhand embarrassment and utter confusion.
Sky thought they were together. She wasn’t the only one. And instead of correcting her, Viktor had— what, silently agreed?
A single kiss was one thing. Dating was quite another.
“I, uh,” Jayce started, but he had no idea where he was going with it. “Thanks?”
The rise at the end of his tone made it sound like a question. Though, truly, what the hell else was he supposed to say? No, Sky, don’t feel bad, you’re not silly, because actually, we’re not together, despite the fact that apparently the entire city thinks otherwise? That wouldn’t make things awkward at all.
Sky beamed, clearly relieved. “Oh, good! I was worried for a second there. But really, I think it’s great. You two just… fit, you know?”
Jayce did not, in fact, know.
OR: Viktor kisses Jayce instead of telling Sky he isn't interested like a normal person. Cue the gossip mill, and Jayce and Viktor pretend to be in a relationship until it dies down.
For purely practical reasons, of course.

Summary
Weird. Weird. Viktor had looked so pleased just a few moments ago. Almost glowing. Maybe even happy, for a split second; the sort of thing he only ever is when one of his prototypes turns out successful. Jayce had managed to land a comment smart enough to wring a laugh out of Viktor; and he'd smiled like they were having fun, but now here's that thing again. The borders, the quiet nudging, pushing him away as if he's unable to recognize it. No one else does this to him, not anymore; not when his face is on the newspapers and his name is on everyone's mouths. It's only Viktor.
"Do you hate me?" Jayce asks, before he has a chance to process which words his mouth is forming.
It feels childish, out in the open cold, spoken like that. It feels like a stupid thought.
-
Jayce wonders if their friendship isn't a little one-sided, in a way.

“Did you notice it started snowing?” asked Viktor, lifting one hand to capture some of the flakes as they whirled by.
Jayce stopped beside him, close as ever in Viktor’s periphery. “No.” His voice was sharper than it’d been a minute earlier, discussing the virtues of nickel sulfamate. “I didn’t.”

They spoke about the funeral almost as often as they spoke about the wedding. For Viktor it was a coin toss as to which would come first, a child’s game. For Jayce it was like playing cat’s cradle with the hangman’s noose.
