    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

    After the doctor hurts Rio, a freshly-orphaned Viktor is taken in at The Last Drop. Years later, there's a riot on the bridge.

    In which child-Viktor refuses to abandon Silco; an act of devotion that changes the trajectory of Zaun's uprising. While Vander negotiates with Enforcers, Silco single-parents a revolution in the dark. Someone has to fund his son's endless charity work and vaccinate zaunish kids.

    There's siblings-of-divorce, waverider eggs, volatile crystals...and a Piltie wandering around the Lanes looking for blue gems and a ghost.

    Illustrated! +more art on tumblr, bsky, twitter, insta.

    Summary

    “Is that… you, Viktor?”

    It was barely more than a whisper, but he almost couldn’t bring himself to ask in the first place. The question scared him, the coming answer he feared even more. He knew the question was callous and loaded, but he had to know.

    Those warm eyes faltered and became reproachful, they averted with a look of guilt, his eyebrows scrunching together. Viktor hugged his good knee tighter to his chest, his short and shallow breathing and his tightened lips betraying the hurt he felt at the question. The creases at the side of his nose deepened in dismay in the way only Viktor's face suited. All of these things told Jayce everything he needed desperately to know; this wasn’t the serene herald, or even the maniacal machine herald.

    This was Viktor.

    Summary

    Jayce Talis is a jaded reporter with a sharp tongue, a tape recorder, and an unhealthy fascination with cults.
    The case seems simple: a missing girl, a commune deep in the woods, a story waiting to be written.

    But the leader greets him like he has been waiting for him his whole life. Smiles like he knows him. Watches like he’s remembering something.

    And around them, the trees whisper. The dirt breathes.

    And the orchard is blooming.

    Summary

    You’ve always been creative. It comes with the territory of being the Warrior of Light. You’ve always been proud of your ability to come into people’s lives, listen to their problems, and come up with something new, something they’d never truly considered before. You are able to see past all of the minutiae that trips up others and get to the heart of the issue. And for that, they call you a hero, a miracle worker, the Warrior of Light.

    The alliance expects the Warrior of Light to kill Zenos for them, though he has another method in mind on how to end the conflict. One that requires a lot less bloodshed, if only he can get Zenos to agree. Luckily, he knows just how to get the crown prince's attention.
