    Summary

    Everything is dark. How he knows, he isn’t certain, but he can feel it stretching on for eternity, an inky void content to swallow everything in its wake. He knows he doesn’t have a body that can technically experience physical sensation, but Jayce feels…Light. Warm. Held. He has no eyes to scan his surroundings, no ears to pick up clues that might tell him where he is, no hands to reach out and feel for anything, anyone that might be near him. But he knows he’s not alone. Something else is here, and it’s incorporeal just like he is. And yet, somehow, despite it all, it’s cradling him. If he had a mouth to sigh with, he would.

    This is everything. We’ll stay like this forever, he thinks, though who “we” is he doesn’t know.

    He’s not sure how much time passes like this. Time doesn’t seem to matter here, wherever here is. But it changes. The shift is slow and sudden all at once, a flash of coldness splintering through that warm, contented feeling. The loss of something. He’s alone again. If he had arms to reach out with, he would. He would thrash and scramble and grasp desperately to bring that thing, whatever it was, back to him. He doesn’t have a heart, but he feels it ache anyway.

    Where did you go?

    Summary

    Viktor turns the uniform over in his hands, smoothing over the wrinkles in the trousers. The buttons are diamond-shaped and hard underneath his fingers.

    Leaning forward, his mother places her arm around his shoulders as she lays a white cravat across Viktor’s hands.

    It’s the brightest piece of fabric Viktor has ever seen.

    “Vitenka,” she whispers. “If you are going to change the world, do not ask for permission. Act like you belong and no one will question you.”

    Piltover Academy of Sciences research masters student Jayce Talis isn't really studying crystallography like he told his professors. Viktor isn't even an academy student, he just has an academy uniform his parents made and very little to lose. They run into each other in a school hallway. Literally.

    Based on this tweet from one of the Arcane writers that there was a backstory where Viktor's parents helped him sneak into the academy.

    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

    "How about we make a bet out of it? Whichever one of us gets Kunikida to third base first wins."

    Intrigued, Dazai leaned forward. "And the loser?"

    "A full day of following the winner’s orders."

    Dazai grinned. "You’re on, Chuuya. May the best man win."

    Chuuya shook it, grinning like a madman. “Oh, I fucking plan on it, you insufferable prick."

    OR

    Soukoku makes a bet to see which one of them can get Kunikida to third base the fastest. Spoiler: it’s an absolute shitshow.
