    Summary

    “Even is smiley, droopy in a good way, and Isak almost feels bad about springing anything on him when he looks so calm, but he needs to get it out. The light isn't even on yet. Clasping the door, Isak draws a breath.”

    Contrary to what some might say, Isak can see when he’s done wrong. Sometimes you gotta fess up.

    Summary

    Some meetings can be implicit things.

    Jayce doesn’t know when he first met the man. Rather, it must have been a slow accumulation of moments - spotting him in the corner of his eye, studying him before fully becoming cognizant of where his attention has wandered - until seeing him became a slow revelation of oh it’s you again, hello.

    Jayce has never heard his voice, but he doesn’t need to hear him speak to know that the mystery man feels kind, gentle. Gentle in the way his shoulders seem to be swallowed by his woolen sweaters sometimes, such a charming sight. And yet, Jayce gets the feeling that if he were to hear his voice, he’d find a home in it.

    In which Viktor is a pianist, and Jayce asks him for lessons. A friendship unfolds, told as a love letter to piano music, books, and kindness.

    Summary

    They should have died together. Instead, Viktor wakes up alone, human again, and years in the past.

    Summary

    “…I’ve never made one,” Viktor said aloud then, almost as an afterthought.

    Jayce blinked. He looked up fully, caught off guard. “What?”

    “I’ve never made one,” Viktor repeated. “A fort,” he clarified a second later. “Blanket or otherwise.”

    “There were…other priorities.” Viktor’s gaze wandered around the dim, lifeless interior of the lab as he continued. “We didn’t have many blankets to spare. And then I grew up. Too quickly, maybe.” Viktor turned to Jayce fully then, and for the first time since he’d spoken, met his eyes. “I always thought it was a lovely idea, though.” His voice dropped, quiet but sure as he held his gaze. “You could make one now, if you wanted.”

    .....................

    When a winter storm blows through Piltover, the founders of Hextech are stuck in their lab, unable to focus on work. One aches from the cold, the other trying to keep the chill at bay. A much needed break turns into a soft conversation, and the conversation finds itself wandering through what should have been simpler times in a heartless world. But at least, for once, the world can't find them here. Just for today.
