    Summary

    The rune spits Jayce out on hard rock. It’s dry and dusty under his hands and when he blinks awake, face-down, clothing soaked, alive against all odds, he actually can’t draw a breath. A drop of water hits his face. And then another. It’s raining, and he doesn’t know where he is, but he’s back in the fissure, he’s certain of it. A cruel ending for a wasted life. Jayce Talis, the Man of Progress, who thought at every turn he had the right idea, and failed in every way that ever mattered.

    -

    Thrown across the continent, but painfully alive, Jayce struggles to keep Viktor from falling into mental ruin, and himself from keeling over. He can still hold a hammer, so he does what he's always done: cling to hope, however foolish it may be.

    Summary

    What is left between them after the conflict is over, after everything is said and done and they remain alive yet changed in a strange new place? As they walk miles and miles, alone yet together, and Jayce is still Jayce and Viktor is anything but himself? How can they move past what was, rebuild something new, become something more finally as the last of the walls and the canyons that kept them from the truth of what they are and what they mean to each other are broken down and crossed?

    Viktor doesn't know, cannot know, only hope to find an answer as he tries to find himself.

    Alternatively: a series of vignettes following Viktor and Jayce after they wake up in an alternate timeline where they travel an untamed land in search of civilization, explore their own relationship, and fall inexplicably back into a love they can finally admit was always there.

    Summary

    “Despite all of this,” Jayce whispered, barely audible against the wind, “I am pleased that I will see you, finally.” With a steady exhale, he stepped into the air, surrendering to gravity’s pull.

    But then—

    Without warning, a tight, iron grip clamped around his neck, yanking him violently back from the edge. His breath caught in his throat, choking as he clawed desperately at the hand, but it didn’t loosen, only tightened. A cold, mechanical voice purred in his ear, laced with a lightness, an innocence, that felt so out of place.

    “Am I interrupting?”

    OR

    Never underestimate what a cult leader will do to keep his stubborn partner close, whether he likes it or not

    Summary

    “我同样喜欢那一刻,”奥术先驱轻声说,拉开杰斯破裂的嘴,伸入他的口腔,感受那股温暖,“我们共同的回忆,杰斯。若没有死亡的恐惧,人不会意识到完美生命给予的辽阔。”
