    Summary

    Jayce Talis, newly promoted soloist at City of Progress Ballet, has just been cast in the role of a lifetime: the male lead in What Could Have Been, a rarely-performed ballet he happens to be obsessed with. The role originated by his celebrity crush Viktor. The role in which Viktor had a career-ending injury.

    It’s already a lot of pressure. And then guess who shows up to rehearse it with him.

    Summary

    “Can I tell you a secret?” Jayce whispers in the mermaid’s marble ear, just to be extra safe. He has to stand on his tippy-toes to reach her. This way he can avoid any chances of someone overhearing his most closely guarded secret.

    “I’m not having professional thoughts.”

    She stares blankly ahead.

    “About Viktor,” Jayce clarifies when the statue does not react. “My lab partner.”

     

    OR

    Jayce realizes he's horny for Viktor. Which is fine, really. He's managing. But after Viktor doesn't join him at the Piltover Academy End of Year Ball, Jayce has one-too-many drinks and ends up trashed. Which is also fine.

    Until it's not. Because Viktor shows up after all. Surely the Boys of Progress can keep it together? (And if they can't, you can bet there's gonna be lots of secret mutual pining and drunken chaos until they get their shit together)

    Summary

    When an urgent radio transmission comes in with claims of an immune survivor, Viktor Novotny—once esteemed immunologist, now Firelight engineer—and his “half-feral, borderline-suicidal science boyfriend” Jayce Talis decide to risk everything to chase a cure for ARC-4N3.

    Going north is like asking to die. It's crazy, and maybe even a little stupid, but they'd both be lying if they said that wasn't part of the appeal.

    Whether a cure is possible or not is still to be discovered, but regardless, they’re determined to see what still remains—both of the world, and of themselves.

    -

    Or, a post-apocalyptic Jayvik au, loosely inspired by the video game The Last of Us.

    Summary

    “So, run it by me one more time.”

    Vi paced the length of the room with her chin pinched firmly between her fingers. She had been tracing a wide oval on the floor, her boots clanking heavily with every step. They had been over the plan several times already, Viktor lamented soundlessly, but he understood her nerves. Ekko, who was busy spinning himself in one of Viktor’s office chairs, slowed to a stop with an exaggerated groan, dragging the toe of his shoes along Viktor’s floor. “Vi, how many more times are you gonna make us—”

    “Until it’s perfect, Ekko.” Vi interrupted brusquely. “Everyone needs to be on the same page about what they’re doing, where they’re supposed to be, and what we’re after. We’re not gonna get another shot at this for months if we fail.”

    --

    OR: The kids from Zaun have a plan—find whatever Jayce Talis has been working on and steal it. The Progress Day Gala is the perfect opportunity to do so. The only issue? Viktor has to attend to "present" his research to Heimerdinger. He should be in and out quickly—just long enough to get Vi into place and dip. If all goes smoothly, he'll never have to interact with Jayce Talis at all. Simple, right?

    Summary

    When Viktor makes the reluctant decision to move back to Piltover after six years to be a professor at The Academy, he's forced to share an office with none other than his former lab partner Jayce Talis, the very man who caused him to leave Piltover in the first place.

    Summary

    “This is wrong,” Jayce rasped, his voice strained with torment, so unlike the Jayce that had left mere hours ago to dance and drink and make merry and maybe even make love to the beautiful Mel Medarda. “This is too far back, I shouldn’t be here—”

    This Jayce was like a wild animal, bearded and shaggy, furious and heartbroken.

    The huge weapon thudded to the floor once again, and Viktor finally dared to speak.

    “Jayce, is that… you?”

    Stewing in his loneliness, research assistant Viktor witnesses an Anomaly take place in the laboratory he shares with Jayce Talis, potentially altering life as they know it (or might never come to know).

    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.

    Summary

    Viktor scoffs at himself. Such futile preoccupations shouldn’t affect him. Yes, he will never find love, so what? That’s no reason to uselessly wallow in self-pity when he could focus on Hextech research instead. He doesn’t need a significant other to revolutionize science and better people’s lives. Only his mind, some funding, and…

    His partner.

    Or the Wingfic AU where Viktor firmly believes no one will ever want to court him and Jayce proves him wrong.

    After the second Heavenly Rift, vigilante cultivator Mo Ran finds his wounded Shizun and takes him to his cabin to nurse him back to health.

    The mark of a corrupt, indelibly tarnished soul.

    Summary

    Chu Wanning knew that trying to bake a cake for his baker boyfriend's birthday was one of the most idiotic, empty gestures he could do. And yet, there he was in Mo Ran's industrial grade kitchen, staring at the mess he'd made of the stainless steel counter, and wondered how he was going to explain his way out of this.

    It turned out that no such explanation was needed.

    It turned out that even failed cakes could turn into delicious creampies.

    Summary

    “See you around.”

    “Yes.”

    Another ache. Where’s around for you? Mo Ran doesn’t know anymore. He hasn’t seen him at all this past year, for all the times he’s whipped around to double-check every lean, dark-haired figure in white crossing the periphery of his vision.

    “Do you—”

    “We’re heading out,” the nurse calls out, cutting him off as they start to wheel the trolley towards the exit.

    “Yeah,” says Mo Ran. “See you,” he says, tearing himself away before he asks him something ridiculous. He doesn’t look back.

    Chu Wanning didn't think he would ever meet Mo Ran again. He dreamed of it, of course, more often than he'd like to admit, but never dared to hope. And yet, after so many years, fate throws Mo Ran back into his life and now Chu Wanning has to deal with the fact that his heart is even weaker for that dimpled smile than it had been before.

    Oh, and that apparently the most significant person in his life has no recollection of him whatsoever.

    Summary

    It was a cold night to Chu Wanning, he was unwrapping himself from his scarf and heavy coat, but Mo Ran walked into the classroom in a far-too-tight cropped t-shirt and black jeans so stuck on he wondered if the man found them in the kid’s section.

    Realistically, even at a first glance, Mo Ran was far too tall, too built, to have a hope of fitting into anything outside of the men’s section. As he walked in that day, he didn’t spare Chu Wanning a glance and went to steal one of the still-open seats towards the back of the classroom.

    Every day after that though, Chu Wanning noticed Mo Ran sat in the front, right in front of Chu Wanning’s podium, his dark, purple-tinged eyes never failing to track his every movement.
