Summary
His skin feels too tight over his body; like his heart is being pulled forward, like it could burst through his sternum.
“What are you doing?” he breathes, barely audible. The words feel like they’re coming from somewhere else.
“Being brave,” Caleb replies.
*
On the eve of Trent’s trial, Caleb calls Essek and asks for a distraction. He doesn’t specify what kind. Essek has always been good at seeing possibilities.

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
Locked in a storeroom with Viktor, Jayce tells himself he’s straight. Very, very straight.
But Viktor once promised he’d make Jayce beg for it—and denial doesn’t hold up nearly as well under Viktor's touch.Sequel to Alcohol, Roommates, and Other Bad Decisions. Still fine as it's own oneshot.

Summary
Jayce is kidnapped. Viktor will stop at nothing to find him. Even as they are separated, the ghosts of the past, present, and the future haunt them.
—
Viktor had never been late before. Jayce only arrived late once or twice, always after a particularly strenuous function where he’d gotten a little too drunk. Panting and sweaty, Viktor burst into the lab, the door already unlocked.
“Jayce, I am so sorry! I—” His voice died in his throat when he realized he was alone.
Their desks were a mess. Drawers left pulled out, papers scattered over the floor, ink spilled over blueprints.
“Jayce?”

Summary
He stares longingly at Viktor, the soft curve of hair around his ear, the twitch of his brow as he works through his confusion of Jayce knowing his name. But of course Jayce does. Knows his name. Knows how long he can sit before he's too stiff to walk. Knows his entire list of dreams to stop suffering of others- all of it blindsided because Jayce’s obsession with the arcane came and ruined everything good in him.
“How do you-”
“I’m sorry.” Jayce isn’t ashamed that his voice breaks, his body shaking with all the hurt of a different timeline, “I never meant- I only wanted to save you.”
Post-Canon Fix it Timeline- Where Jayce can't let go how badly he messed up, Viktor needs a few reasons to break his cycle of withdrawing from others, and they both pretend they aren't the dumbest men in all of Piltover and Zaun combined.
