Summary
An Exorcism in Hex Hollow; or, On the Third Day Fill the Grave
It’s 2009 in rural North Georgia and Jayce Talis is running from something. He is running into the mountains, the prodigal son fleeing home in exile. There’s something screaming in the woods and something else whispering underneath his father’s house. He’s going home, God help him, he’s going home. And Viktor, his once best friend now a near stranger, works his grandmother’s farm and follows the old folk magic ways, and when he dreams of sinking into the black mud of his own grave, he sometimes wakes on misty mornings with his face pressed, cold and numb, into the tilled soil.
There’s something ancient and alive unearthed in the furrowed fields of Piltover County. There’s a circle drawn in horse’s blood. Foxes surround a lonely gravesite in the mountains. Gunshots echo from the farmhouse in the valley and poppets made from twigs and hair hang in the trees. There’s a devil that stalks the crossroads of Hex Hollow and it’s got a taste for Viktor’s blood – and Jayce might be the only thing that can save him from damnation.

Summary
Friendships in the valley form fast. The nearest town is over an hour down the mountain road through the park, and even then, it’s a small community mostly fueled by the tourism passing through. That's why everyone who works here lives here too. The valley is its own isolated community.
And if friendships here form fast, then crushes form faster.

OR Jayce and Viktor are National Park Rangers that really need to talk about their feelings. A sudden storm forces them to face their fears.

Summary
The Northwestern University Wildcats are notorious for two things: being the worst football team in the prestigious Big 10 league, and throwing insane parties at their fraternity house: ΗΣΧ.
Viktor never expected to find himself sharing a roof with a dozen boisterous athletes.
Jayce never expected that in running from his past, he’d crash headlong into his future.
When an unexpected partnership brings the two of them together, old crushes spark into new flames. It’ll take a couple keggers, a day in the city, and a very special playlist for them both to learn that… home isn’t simply where you lay your head, but where you can let your walls down.
Or, the “Viktor lives in a frat house” fic.

Summary
Viktor Dvořák is eighteen, an artist, a high school senior, and, until recently, a fixture in the halls of his city’s art museum. He spends his after-school hours sketching in front of Soviet modernist works and trying not to think too hard about the future.
Then the new curator arrives.
Jayce Talis is older, charming, and far too interested in Viktor’s mind and, of course, his hands.It’s just a crush. That's what Viktor tells himself over and over and over as the dozens of sketches of Jayce begin to stare up at him from his notebook after their first encounter.
Viktor is leaving for Paris in the fall.
Nothing about this should matter.So why does it feel like he’s already been chosen?

Summary
“I'm not letting you go by yourself!” Jayce shouts.
He loosens a blast at the chrysalis, letting in more light into the space. The pieces hum and hover around them like the destroyed pieces of a shattered star.
“Jayce, you need to leave—”
“I can't lose you!”
After the explosive events at his commune, Viktor is captured and taken prisoner by Noxus. Revived by Apex Shimmer, subjugated to experimentation and torture, Viktor is used to develop their weapons via his link to the arcane.
Jayce finds out but is faced with a choice: to finish what he started or to find a new recourse. No matter what he chooses, Viktor is always at the center of it all.

Summary
Viktor has always been content with his place in the world, overlooked and alone. Now that he has Jayce, he isn't sure how much longer he can stand it. Not when what he wants so desperately, what he knows he can never have, is always right there. Just out of his reach.
Or: Viktor just wants to be touched. Jayce would be more than happy to help if Viktor would tell him that.

Summary
He pictures the funeral sometimes.
He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.
He pictures swallowing them himself.
Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

Summary
Nobody rescues Jayce Talis. He’s left for dead in a blizzard. A young boy claws his survival from the forests of Freljord to become a man who barely remembers that name.
And, eventually, a yordle professor drags his assistant along to study murk wolves in the field.
Pinned lightly against a pine by his throat, the scientist studies the face of a wild man. Long hair, scraggly beard, a small gap in bared teeth, eyes deep and searching. Severe.
“I’m Viktor,” he says, once the strong, callused fingers permit him the room to breathe properly. “Who are you?”

He bursts into the room, only to find it empty. The jackrabbit rate of his heart starts to kick up again, but he placates himself momentarily with the thought that the silhouette he’d seen could have simply been a shadow cast astray.
Then Viktor's eyes fall onto the letter tucked into the rubble, and his heart shatters.

Summary
“Is there something on my face?” Jayce broke.
“You look nervous.” Viktor remarked, lip twitching in half-a-smile.
“Maybe.” Jayce laughed. “I’ve never been here before. I mean, obviously, just… why’d you pick this one, out of curiosity?” Viktor took a beat to formulate his response.
“It’s my favorite.” Jayce felt perhaps too giddy at this reveal of information. He really was being shown something in Viktor’s world, even something as impersonal as a favored public space. Anyone could come here, it wasn’t a secret, but it was something he didn’t know of before. Something private in that way. And now Jayce felt fractionally less of a stranger. Closer to him by increments.
or
When Viktor takes Jayce out of the lab to unwind one stressful night, Jayce begins to drown in his feelings.

Summary
As time passes and Ron grows he realizes that his first coherent thoughts about Voldemort were right:
By Merlin’s saggy balls that is one scary-sounding git. An absolutely wanker really.
This is made even more relevant by the fact that even now, over two years since the bloody tosser’s death, he is causing problems.
But you know what? It’s going to be fine. There’s a plan:
1. Let Hermione handle all the data gathering and calculations.
2. Help if asked but don’t volunteer unnecessarily.
3. Avoid talking about the way their magic pulls them together.
4. Provide food, company and much-needed distractions/breaks.
5. Get sucked into doing a ritual that sends them 13 years in the past and be forced to deal with the bond and primordial beings.Yeah, it’s easy to see which step wasn’t on the list initially. Guess what else wasn’t on the list? Actually acknowledging the fact that shadows seem to warp in his presence.
Ron blames the Unspeakables — and Voldemort. But mostly Voldemort. Foul git.Series
