    Summary

    "The best way I can summarize the basics is this: the rune you used is like a bridge. It connected the two of you in every way, but there has to be a point A and a point B for a bridge, correct?” Heimerdinger points at Jayce, “He’s point A.” And I’m point B?

    --or--

    Jayce and Viktor's sacrifice creates an arcane bond between them.

    Summary

    Instantly Viktor’s hands flew to his own body, he could feel the warmth of his own skin under the fabric of his shirt, could recognize the thud of his rapid heart rate. His hair was no longer long and unkempt but neat and short. He brought his hands down to look at them. Human. Completely and totally human.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Post Hexcore collapse, Jayce and Viktor get flung into a different universe where they have the chance to do things differently. The first thing they decide to do differently is to do each other.

    Summary

    Jayce pulls him up till he’s sitting, bringing him to his chest and holding him closer. It seems cruel to think of separating, even by an inch. “I love you,” he says, because it’s true. Because Viktor needs to know. Because the words have been trying to burst from his throat since the minute they woke up. “I should’ve told you before we- I mean. I should’ve said. I didn’t want to die without you knowing. I don’t know why I didn’t. I love you. I’ve loved you.”

    Viktor lets out a choked gasp from where his head is buried in the crook between Jayce’s neck and shoulder. “What?”

    ---

    or what happens after the ending of arcane- the slightly more positive version where Jayce and Viktor wake up somewhere new, together and very much alive.

    Summary

    “This is wrong,” Jayce rasped, his voice strained with torment, so unlike the Jayce that had left mere hours ago to dance and drink and make merry and maybe even make love to the beautiful Mel Medarda. “This is too far back, I shouldn’t be here—”

    This Jayce was like a wild animal, bearded and shaggy, furious and heartbroken.

    The huge weapon thudded to the floor once again, and Viktor finally dared to speak.

    “Jayce, is that… you?”

    Stewing in his loneliness, research assistant Viktor witnesses an Anomaly take place in the laboratory he shares with Jayce Talis, potentially altering life as they know it (or might never come to know).

    Summary

    “I want to know you,” Celebrimbor said. “You and all that there is to you.”
    Beneath his hands, he felt Annatar tense, his skin growing colder as if every part of him, including his blood, wanted to withdraw from Celebrimbor’s touch.
    “You don’t know what you are asking for,” Annatar said quietly.
    “Perhaps not,” Celebrimbor replied. “And yet this is what I want. You have offered me so much over these years: unnumbered gifts that you gave freely, that I did not even need to ask for. So let this be the first, the last, and the only thing I ask for myself.”
    Let me in. Let me know you. Show me who you were, before you came to me. Let me know all that is ancient and primordial, terrifying and incomprehensible about you. Show me the god beneath the face of the man. Permit me to know you as you truly are.

    On the eve of the creation of the Great Rings, Celebrimbor makes a dangerous request and history changes forever.
