    Summary

    Viktor would never become accustomed to the sheer radiance of the Piltovan sun. Nowhere in Zaun matched its dazzling light, even in places where the chasms were open to the sky. The smog of the factories always prevented that light from piercing the depths of the undercity. The only place the sun’s rays even approached the brilliance of Piltover was at the junction of the bridge that connected the two cities.

    Viktor and his siblings were well beyond the bounds of the bridge.

    * * *

    In a universe where Viktor's mother was Silco's sister, Viktor was raised by Silco and Vander in Zaun. When Vi gets a tip from Ekko about a place just waiting to be robbed, Viktor knows it's go with her or let his adopted siblings go alone. When the apartment explodes, he doesn't expect the owner of the apartment to protect him, or take the full fall for the explosion.

    Now exiled, Jayce finds a new family in Viktor's. Together, they just might change the world.

    Summary

    Viktor kissed Jayce tenderly, then slipped the ring back into the box. "I cannot. Not until you have my family's blessing," he said soberly.

    Jayce opened his mouth. Closed it. Dug through his memories, until he was reasonably certain they were correct. "What family?"

    or, Jayce and Viktor want to get married, but first they need the blessings of their respective families. Getting Ximena's blessing was easy, but getting Viktor's parents on board may be a little more difficult...

    Summary

    Jayce’s smile is twice as big as his is, parading himself around and waving at anyone who cheers for him. It’s clear he’s popular with the women in the crowd, as they swoon and wave back to him. He rides over to accept the bundle of flowers, but he does not separate them out to throw them individually but instead rides close to their tent and then tosses the whole bunch up right to Viktor.

    He feels his heart jump into his throat as he holds his arms out. The carnations fall into his arms and his heart is pounding. Everyone is either silent or he can’t hear the applause over the blood rushing in his ears.

    Never. Ever. Has a knight simply given all the flowers to one person. At least not in all his time watching. He looks up, lips parted in a silent and private display of surprise. Jayce makes eye contact with him, his golden eyes shining in the light, and the smile on his face turns soft.

    ***

    To secure a peaceful agreement between Piltover and Zaun, after years of war, Jayce and Viktor enter an arranged marriage. Things are still tense between the two kingdoms but at least they find each other agreeable, and then some.

    Summary

    Jayce gets banished instead of thrown out of the Academy. Viktor says, "Hm. A wrinkle. Do you want to [build a snowman with me] go live in the undercity and continue your research there?"

    Mel can't decide who is crazier.

    Vander wants to know when his kids got two uncles and an aunt.

    Silco just... wants to know what's going on.

    Heimerdinger wants his lab assistant back.

    Viktor wants space to WORK (get off my desk, Powder!).

    Ekko wants nothing at all to change because he's too busy scamming Heimerdinger with fake ransom notes.

    Caitlyn has never had a better summer and wants for nothing.

    Mel didn't mean to fall in love. And she really, really didn't mean to have a third, platonic wheel in her first actual relationship.
