Summary
In a modern AU, Jayce begins to feel some anxiety as their last semester of college begins. Viktor, his best friend and roommate since the first day of freshman year, has been at his side for the entirety of their college experience, and neither knows what will happen after graduation. On the outside, Jayce and Viktor are an unlikely pair to set eyes on: Viktor, with tattoos occupying almost more skin than not, and more piercing holes than he can count on both hands, and Jayce, extroverted and borderline obsessively studious. At heart, both are stellar students with kindness and compassion that run deep, and they are each other's tightest bonds. Jayce throws himself into his studies, determined that focus can suppress the growing worries, whereas Viktor doesn't give it much thought. As graduation date grows closer, Jayce finds himself thinking more and more about how Viktor will fit into his life after 3 and a half years of practically living with his best friend. He also finds himself questioning who Viktor is to him. More specifically, who Viktor is becoming to him, and maybe he's not content with being just 'friends' anymore.

Summary
Jayce Talis made his fortune with the Hexgates, but is now an indolent playboy, as corrupt and scheming as the rest of Piltover's elite; at least by day. By night he is the Defender of Tomorrow, using secret Hextech weaponry to strike back against the city's oppressors.
The Herald fights for the people of the Undercity every night, using strange rune magic to overwhelm the rampant crime. By day he is just Viktor, a wearied scientist running a medical clinic for those who cannot afford care.
The Defender and Herald are bitter enemies, only restrained by the thin truce between their cities. But when a class war begins to loom once again, the two are forced to work together to save both their respective homes.

Summary
“Can I tell you a secret?” Jayce whispers in the mermaid’s marble ear, just to be extra safe. He has to stand on his tippy-toes to reach her. This way he can avoid any chances of someone overhearing his most closely guarded secret.
“I’m not having professional thoughts.”
She stares blankly ahead.
“About Viktor,” Jayce clarifies when the statue does not react. “My lab partner.”
OR
Jayce realizes he's horny for Viktor. Which is fine, really. He's managing. But after Viktor doesn't join him at the Piltover Academy End of Year Ball, Jayce has one-too-many drinks and ends up trashed. Which is also fine.
Until it's not. Because Viktor shows up after all. Surely the Boys of Progress can keep it together? (And if they can't, you can bet there's gonna be lots of secret mutual pining and drunken chaos until they get their shit together)

Following a failure of the first test of Hextech's teleportation technology - both the Defender of Tomorrow and the Machine Herald have taken up temporary residence in Jayce and Viktor's world and in their lab.
You see where this is going.

Summary
...the door barely creaks open, and Jayce can see half of Viktor's face poking out from behind it. The one amber eye he can see is wide, and when their gazes connect, its pupil fattens until only a rim of gold is left of his iris.
Maybe that cologne Jayce bought was actually working.
Jayce is a beta who wants to know what his pheromones would smell like. When he finally gets a sample, he conducts an experiment that goes further than intended.

Summary
There was nothing at all hidden beneath the layers, only the insulting slope of Jayce’s forge-muscled chest. No ring secretly kept close to his heart. No chain warmed to the heat of his skin from having been worn day in, day out.
Viktor had always prided himself on at least having the strength of his mind to rely on, but Jayce had an accursed habit of turning him into a fool.
“Viktor, I don’t—”
“Why do I bother?” Viktor pushed out the words as he pushed Jayce away, his mind flogging itself. Vulnerable. Humiliated. Foolish.
Or, during the Arcane timeskip Viktor and Jayce are getting a divorce. It’ll take a little magic for Viktor to see that, no matter the timeline, Jayce always chooses him in the end.

Instructions For Dancing by JangJaeYul
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)
01 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Viktor had sounded so fond talking about his ballet days, like there was a thread of undying love for it sewn through his entire being. Jayce understood the all-consuming passion to dance - it was practically a prerequisite, if you wanted this career. What he couldn’t wrap his mind around was how you could endure that loss, how you could invert that height of passion into the depths of pain, and not go mad with it.
Jayce has spent the last few years as the principal male soloist of an award-winning ballet company. When a chance meeting brings him face-to-face with his fabled predecessor, the man he sees in front of him is not at all what he expected.

Summary
Jayce had found pride and joy in so many academic achievements, the sense of accomplishment burning in his chest like a fuel that drove him forward – yet it was hard not to feel equally pleased as he witnessed recognition blooming on Viktor’s face like lightning in a clear sky.
Viktor gaped, eyes widened in shock, before looking up to him again, scanning over his face almost frantically, like he couldn’t believe the name on the page, like he couldn’t believe his own eyes.
“Jayce.” He called him, and his name, muttered in confusion, disbelief, astonishment, realisation, felt like an echo from a decade past. It felt like a cycle closing, a long, lonely chapter ending, and a new one beginning.
“Viktor,” Jayce called him back and Viktor gasped. Jayce smiled, unable to help himself. “It’s been a while.”
Ten years ago, Jayce met Viktor at the science summer camp, becoming his first friend and his first love ー before leaving him behind.
At 24, freshly graduated, Jayce comes back to the same camp, one last summer before he steps into the adult life... only to meet Viktor once again.- Language:

“The math thing isn’t the problem,” Jinx said. “All this extra work to get more grant money on top of all of your other duties is keeping you and Jayce apart. You two just need to bone.”
Sky made a horrified, strangled noise.
“What did you say?” Viktor asked, voice high and eyes nearly bulging out of his head in shock.
“Don’t say it again,” Sky pleaded softly.
“I said you two need to bone,” Jinx repeated.
“How dare you, Jinx. I am your Doctoral Advisor!” Viktor said, cadence rising with every word.OR modern / uni professors jayvik AU where viktor's PhD student jinx helps him realize he's been more than a little pent up lately with all the time he and his husband have been spending apart. jayce finally comes home after a week away and they bang it out

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.

You Missed a Negative Sign by fs_animri

Summary
The midterm was rough, and he heard rumors that Professor Heimerdinger’s finals were even worse. Besides, the Professor didn’t offer a curve, so Jayce couldn’t hope that just being high above average will save his (so far perfect) GPA.
He knew he would be able to do it on his own, but he could use some help. Perhaps get some motivation. Maybe find a study partner who would help him out on more difficult problems. Basically, Jayce just really needed to lock in.
Therefore, when he overheard some classmates talking about an app called Grindr, his attention was piqued.
________
Jayce misunderstands what Grindr is. Ex-teaching assistant Viktor is interested.

Summary
It’s been half a year now since his marriage to Mel fell apart and Jayce became a stay-at-home dad. A little less than that, since he offered Viktor the empty guest room, just to make juggling work and child-rearing overall easier.
It’s a question of convenience, really. Jayce gets to take care of his daughter, but he also has someone to watch her when he needs to run errands, to play with her next door while Jayce is in a conference call with their sponsors.
And if Mae gets a little confused about how many daddies she has… or if Jayce is in denial about what kind of partner he wants Viktor to be… Well. They’re going to figure it out eventually.

Summary
“So your hot genius Zaunite roommate has been taking up all of your time and brainspace but it’s not a crush,” Caitlyn finalizes. “Makes sense to me. Super normal way to feel, Jayce.”
Jayce groans miserably.
“I know, I’m working on it,” he says. “I just want him to be comfortable. There’s been a lot of bad shit in our past. If I can show him that things can change here, I will.”Cait looks at him fondly. “That’s a very noble goal, Jayce.”
Jayce really, really wishes he could agree that any of his Viktor-related goals are noble. From where he sits, they’re all varying degrees of selfish, licentious, unrealistic, and horny.

Or: Viktor’s on exchange to Piltover from Zaun. Jayce is his assigned roommate. Everything else — well, that remains to be seen.

Summary
Viktor is irrefutably a certified genius in all things except when it comes to his best friend (who is also awkwardly enough, the love of his life). He agrees to make the idiotic choice of becoming a wingman of sorts.
Jayce claims Viktor can help him win over Mel’s affections by letting him practice his flirting skills. Who is he really fooling? It’s just an excuse to flirt with Viktor but whatever helps him sleep at night.

“Gently,” Viktor tells him, sitting up. “Like this.”
He takes the pipe in his hands and brings it to his lips. They're so much closer now. Jayce is transfixed. Viktor's lips are slightly chapped and wet with spit. They purse around the end of the pipe and suck, and Jayce can't help but think —
Oh. Oh god.
“I need to go,” he ends up saying. Wow. He feels so fucking stupid.

Summary
Viktor thinks he has his roommate all figured out: a popular, gorgeous golden boy who’s probably coasting through college on charm and biceps alone. Viktor, a guarded music production major with a fondness for eyeliner and distortion pedals, is content to keep his head down, ace his classes, and ignore how warm Jayce’s laugh makes him feel in his chest (like melted chocolate). Viktor is content to just be friends with him, but slowly learns that Jayce is vastly different from what he'd thought at first.
A queer as hell, emotionally rich college roommate AU filled with nose bleeds, Arctic Monkeys serenation, and an extremely long and suspicious string of luck on Viktor’s part.

Summary
These days, it's nearly impossible for Jayce to close his eyes and not picture Viktor, spread out on the floor, his legs tangled and trapped by the metal cane that Jayce had made. Instead of pained shock, Viktor’s expression is warped into something more erotic, something expectant, like he’s waiting for Jayce, the beast looming over him, to pounce on his prone body.
To use his cane against him.

Summary
“So... you’re a transfer student?” Jayce ventures, trying to fill the silence.
Viktor shakes his head. “Exchange student. From The Czech Republic. I was in a dorm, but the elevator is broken more than it works. Housing made arrangements.” He sets his suitcase down and adjusts his cane, his movements precise but clearly strained.
“Right,” Jayce says, feeling a flicker of guilt for his earlier irritation. “Well, uh, welcome, I guess. Your room’s down the hall on the left.”
Viktor doesn’t respond, already moving toward the hallway without waiting for further instructions. Jayce watches him disappear into the room, the door clicking shut behind him.
He flops back onto the couch, grabbing his phone to text Caitlyn again:
Jayce: He hates me already.
Caitlyn: Don’t so be dramatic. Give it time. Maybe bake him cookies or something.
Jayce: He doesn’t seem like a cookie guy. More like... brooding and vaguely annoyed at my existence.
Caitlyn: Perfect. You’re great at brooding and vaguely annoying. 😘
