    smitten (n.) - struck with a devastating affection

     

    [...] They could play this game all night, shifting the victory back and forth between them. They could pass the hours on games of  ‘no, you’ until they’re red in the face, but the plain truth of it, the one that even he can’t deny, is that they’re better together.

    They twist around each other, trunk over vine, never to be undone.

    Summary

    Councilor Mel has worked hard to maintain her perfect image as the progressive voice among city leaders, a gambit that cost a friendship. With the potential for radically new technology harnessing the arcane to be invented in her city, she wants in, but soon finds that will bring her once more into the orbit of that very ex-friend -- the workaholic young engineer Viktor from the Undercity. This is to their mutual annoyance (at least initially).

    [A near-total canon rewrite/fix-it because Mel and Viktor in s2 made me so sad that i made an AU where they are both happier lol. Both Mel and Viktor POV. Emphasis on Hurt/Comfort. Eventual Meljayvik. Setup for future standalone PWP.]

    Summary

    It is an old saying in Zaun— If they’re mean, they want a fight. If they’re clever about it, they want to fuck. If they do both, you’re in for a good night.

    His approach to attraction is a cultural habit, one Viktor has never given much thought to because it has always been true. No one in Zaun flirts openly. They play, they provoke, they get under the skin. And if a partner snaps back just as sharp—well. That’s interest.

    Piltovans as a whole don’t seem to understand this. They flirt in ways that are too clean, too direct, too painfully earnest. They go soft first, then ask permission to go softer.

    Jayce is a Piltie. He does not have the stomach for the game.


    At The Piltover Conservatory, the most prestigious and selective academy in the arts world, talent is everything.

    After a disastrous first meeting, Jayce writes Viktor off as caustic, unimpressed, and apparently allergic to basic conversation.

    In a twist of academic misfortune, they’re assigned to work together on a project that means months of high-stakes rehearsals and performances. Working together isn’t optional.

    But music is built on tension, and dissonance isn’t always meant to be resolved.

    Summary

    Viktor takes his hand and Jayce can't decide what to focus on- the tattoos on the back of his hand or the way his hands are so proportionately large and yet small compared to his own. Then he realizes Viktor is giving him an odd look, because he isn't shaking the hand at all. He hastily pulls the hand away.
    “I believe we work across the street from each other,” Viktor continues. “I've seen you around.”
    “Yeah, I've uh. I've seen you too.”

    in which two men who work at businesses across the street from each other fall in love.
