Summary
"There were rumors whispered about the new doctor in the Emberlift, and about this supposed assistant of the Talis guy who disappeared around the time he died. A part of the enforcers storming the Lanes were looking for him, and offering quite the reward for whoever brought him in. Folks say he killed the councilor in a fit of envy, others say he got paid off by the Eye to do the deed and then used the money to leave Piltover for good.
The folks at the Emberlift clinic knew better, and they kept their mouths well shut. Zaun didn't give away her own children, not even her prodigal sons."
---
When Jayce Talis, the golden boy of Piltover, is found dead in his lab, and his partner is nowhere to be found, topside goes on the offensive against the undercity. In his grief, Viktor falls prey to the sweet promises of the Arcane, and finds comfort in flashes of what could have been. -

Summary
There was a saying: the more that topside changed, the more the undercity stayed the same. And Viktor, who walks with a crutch and a brace in the Talis house colors and wears a uniform made from cloth that costs more than what a hundred workers in the mines could ever make in a year, has never been able to mask what he knows everyone sees everyday—a Zaunite. He always belonged to the place that kills the flowers. It doesn't matter that he’s stayed in Piltover longer than he has ever lived in the undercity. He was Viktor from Zaun then, and he remains Viktor from Zaun now, looking up at the last traces of light spilling from the skies that kissed Piltover.
---Viktor in three conversations, one night a year before his death.

Summary
smitten (n.) - struck with a devastating affection
[...] They could play this game all night, shifting the victory back and forth between them. They could pass the hours on games of ‘no, you’ until they’re red in the face, but the plain truth of it, the one that even he can’t deny, is that they’re better together.
They twist around each other, trunk over vine, never to be undone.

“Just a note. If someone is in love with you and you don’t want them, the kind fucking thing to do is to let them go.”

Summary
Viktor is dying.
This is nothing new. He’s been dying since he was born, since he took his first acrid lungful of Fissure air, and he accepted his premature expiration long ago. Everyone has to die anyways, right? All the Fissure had done was move up the finish line.
That doesn’t make it any easier.

Or, Viktor never tries Shimmer, and his death is the slow, painful erosion that everyone said it would be.
