    Summary

    He walks toward Jayce, driven by a thousand hands on his back. Of people in that room, of ghosts, of his own mother. All pushing him toward Jayce and toward a future that metamorphosizes with every step he takes. Viktor can feel the winds shift and part of his story is wiped clean, unwritten by his own actions that night.

    Viktor doesn’t look back. He allows Jayce to open the door for him, and steps out into the evening. The sunset is vibrant, gold and pink and explosive.

    Feeling unaccepted by Piltover in the wake of his 28th birthday, Viktor returns to the Undercity for an annual festival to reconcile who he is with where he came from.

    Things go south.

    Summary

    Viktor’s fingers hovered over Jayce’s neck, his mind consumed by a single, chilling thought: He could end him here, right now. Piltover would lose its brightest engineer, a critical blow to their progress. His grip tightened instinctively as he imagined the advantage it would bring.

    But the unconscious man remained still, his skin impossibly soft beneath Viktor’s palm, his neck fragile, too fragile.

    With a heavy sigh, Viktor released his grip, his hand falling away. He hefted the lifeless body over his shoulder.

    Why am I saving him? Viktor questioned, but the answer never came.

    OR

    An AU where Jayce and Viktor are rivals, fighting on opposing sides of a war but there was no personal beef between them.

    A meet-cute with your enemy.

    Summary

    In a world where Jaegers stand as humanity’s last defense against the Kaiju emerging from the Void, Jayce Talis was once a rising star in the Runeterra Defense Corps (RDC), piloting alongside his father. But when their Jaeger, Stormbreaker, was torn apart during a catastrophic battle off the Freljordian coast, Jayce became the only known pilot to survive a neural drift collapse, experiencing his father’s final moments in excruciating clarity.

    Seven months later, without a co-pilot and drifting toward irrelevance, Jayce is transferred to the Zaun Shatterdome, where he’s given one last chance to stay in the program. As he pushes himself through grueling combat trials and painful psychological evaluations, Jayce crosses paths with Viktor, a brilliant but mysterious J-Head scientist working on the next generation of Hexcore-powered Jaegers. Their unexpected connection begins in the depths of Viktor’s lab. What begins as an unlikely paring soon turns into a partnership that could change the war forever.

    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?
