    Summary

    When Viktor has a cat hair based mishap in the lab while Jayce is out, the hexcore does something unexpected and transforms Viktor into a cat. Stunned and frightened, Viktor goes looking for Jayce, who finds him hurt and meowing at the door of the lab’s main building. Thank Viktor’s lucky stars for Jayce’s bleeding heart, because he now finds himself well taken care of in Jayce’s warm, safe apartment. Though soon enough he finds out this form is only temporary, as is his being human, much sooner after that.

    Summary

    “Vander will be making calls every hour. He puts a lot of trust in you to look after your sisters, so keep your phone by your side. How’s your leg and back doing? Are you in any pain?”

    “I’m fine, I promise.”

    “Good. We’ll be in touch. Remember, Vander and I will be home by midnight on the dot.”

    Viktor hung up the phone.

    “We have five hours,” he informed everyone. “Papa is going to call us every hour. If he catches a whiff of anything off we are fucked, do you all understand me?” They nodded obediently. “We need to come up with a thorough plan.”

    “Listen, Viktor, hey by the way. I was hoping we didn’t have to meet again under circumstances like this,” Jayce began, to which Viktor responded “likewise,” “we really need your help, because you work here and I bet you know this place better than all of us combined.”

    Jayce and Vi are tasked with babysitting Jinx and Ekko the summer they're on vacation and out of school. They wander off, and Viktor, who just wants to finish his night shift in peace, gets roped in a wild goose chase with his crush.

    For JayVik Week Day 5: Alternate Universe.

    Summary

    “I haven’t…” she starts, watches his blue eyes narrowed in concern and it’s distracting, everything’s distracting. “I haven’t had a body in a hundred years,” Zelda manages, and shrugs one shoulder, as if to say what can you do? “I was Hylia, mostly, and a little bit me, but I wasn’t a person. I was the sun and the wind and the water and the dirt and I was in a prison and I was the prison. I feel like I’m blindfolded, now, without that sense of the world, but also everything is so bright and loud and close and I hardly know how I’m managing to speak to you when my skin is feeling wind for the first time in a century. It’s…” she trails off, her words failing her, which is infuriating because she’s a scholar, she’s good at words. “It’s a lot,” she finishes awkwardly, for lack of anything better to say.

    Or: Learning to be a person again, after the end.

    Summary

    [Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.

    “Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.

    What the fuck?

    “Sokka, I—”

    Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.

    What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]

    Or:

    An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.

    But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.

    Yeah, nah.
