    Summary

    The stories say a siren's song is to be feared. They call it a curse, a death sentence.

    They are wrong. The song is simply a beginning. The real danger is far softer, slower, and sweeter, a doom borne upon the siren's kiss.

    Whatever the truth, Viktor has no cause for concern. For what would a siren want from a broken man like him, fleeing a lonely life in Piltover to another by the sea?

    Summary

    When a man manifests in a flash of blue light at the center of their laboratory Jayce raises his arm to shield his eyes. Viktor is wearing dark lensed safety goggles, so he’s able to recognize the face immediately. The man shifts his giant hammer in his gloved hands and scans the lab with a serious expression. When his gaze lands on Viktor, his blue eyes go wide.

    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

    A companion piece to honey, honey, now told from Jayce's perspective.

     

    After meeting Viktor at the Progress Day Gala, Jayce can't seem to get him out of his head. Viktor is undoubtedly his equal in every way—unfathomably brilliant, daringly bold, and fiercely charming. He's also the prettiest person Jayce has ever seen. It should've been easy: Jayce asks him out, Viktor says yes, they get married, etc.

    Except the night ended with a lot of smoke and bomb residue, a plethora of questions from everyone attending, and Viktor disappearing back into the Undercity before Jayce can beg him to stay.

    Jayce's solution? Track Viktor down, ask him to move in with him, and figure it out from there.

    Simple, right?

     

    OR: Jayce falls long before he realizes just how much trouble he's actually in.

    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?
