Summary
Once, Kaz had said that Wylan thought like a lockpick. Wrong. Wylan thought like a clock, ticking, ticking, counting down the seconds he had left to live.
Breathe, he told himself, told Jesper, as the world spun and the canal waters swallowed him under: six minutes. He could survive without oxygen for six minutes.
----------------------
Or, a Wylan character study: the one in which Wylan meets a lost prince, Jesper writes a song, and Kaz loses a chess match.

Summary
“Well,” Kaz grimaced and looked over his shoulder before facing her. “A while ago, I ran an insurance scam. It was a long one. Took me a few months and it required a lot of backup,” he admitted. Inej nodded. “Um, to make it work… I needed a spouse…” he said slowly. Inej’s brows raised.
“Kaz…Are you already married?”
“I had forged it,” he said, almost defensively. “It’s forged. The whole thing was forged, but apparently I did a good job because the idiots at the courthouse say it is legally binding.”
Part of Inej wanted to laugh. This could only happen to them. She squeezed Kaz’s fingers.
“Just sign some divorce papers then.”
“That’s the issue.”
“Is she dead? You don’t need to worry about it if she’s dead, Kaz.”
“No. Nobody is dead…unfortunately,” Kaz sighed and ran a hand over his face. “It’s just going to be a pain in the ass.”
Inej felt the first hint of worry climb in her chest.
“….who did you marry?”
Kaz grimaced.
"Take a guess."
Or
Kaz and Inej are on a time crunch to get married. Unfortunately, Kaz's forgery skills from a fake marriage require divorce papers and Jesper just isn't sure he's willing to put their fake-kids through that.

“How are you doing, Brekker?” Nina asked when Inej left, and the door finally shut with a soft click. Kaz didn’t bother to look up from his work, tiredly scratching through some form or another.
“Polite of you to ask,” he muttered. Nina tilted her head, waiting for the sarcasm to come out full force. “You’re sweet to care, Zenik. I’m touched. Truly.”
“I don’t care,” Nina said loftily, though her eyes were fixed on his face. She hesitated, a little unsure if she wanted to leave this untouched or not. It somehow felt dirty to keep it a secret, though. Nina didn’t need the details, but she also wanted Kaz to know she wasn’t trying to hide anything. Taking a long breath, she continued. “But the voice in the canal asked me to make sure you’re okay.”
Or
As Nina’s corpsewitch powers grow, the voices of the dead get stronger. Sometimes, it’s painful to hear them.

“I am shooting someone,” Jessika agreed pleasantly, “But it’s not her. Not necessarily.”
She took a step closer to Kaz and smiled again, that self-righteous smirk that said gotcha.
“Since you’re the big decision maker, you choose,” she told him.
Kaz blinked, “Pardon?”
***
Kaz sees his whole world under gunpoint and is forced to realise just what's important to him

Summary
“You…you’re Jordan Brekker.”
Jordie appraised the man silently, keeping his knife firmly against the stranger’s throat.
“Bastard of the Barrel, Dirtyhands - I go by a few names,” he said casually and let the sharp edge of the blade rise slightly to touch the man’s lips. “Once I cut out your tongue, you won’t be able to say any of them.”
A heavy silence fell between them - interrupted by a crunching sound. Jordie sighed and looked over his shoulder to where Kaz was eating an apple.
“Can we go to the fair now?” he asked impatiently. The man frowned.
“Who is that?”
Jordie plunged the knife into the man’s throat and shook his head.
“Kaz, we’ve talked about this.”
Or
Jordie lives and becomes Dirtyhands. Sometimes, it's a little hard to be Jordan Brekker when your baby brother is Kaz Rietveld.

“What?” Inej asks him. She doesn’t look at the scribbled words on the back of the envelope until Kaz tilts it towards her to read, and when she does, her face morphs into one of pure confusion.
Kaz Fucking BREKKER or whatever your name is, if you don’t reply to this letter you are going to be in so much trouble. You’re in trouble regardless, but be prepared, you dumbass. I am so fucking mad at you. - Jordan Rietveld, Lola’s Inn, Lij, Southeastern Kerch.

Radical Violence Theory by begaydocrimes10001

Summary
When Mel Medarda realizes that she's completely ignored Viktor's potential as a scientist, as an academic, she quickly seeks to remedy that. He may not be Jayce Talis, but he has his own brain, and he seems to be far more useful than most think. She's a practical woman, after all- it would be useful to have another genius on her side.
And when she realizes Viktor is also in love with Jayce Talis, and Jayce loves them both? She's still practical, after all-- she sees an opportunity.
(Or, Mel and Viktor are more similar than one might think. That applies to who they love, but it applies to how they love too.)

Summary
They got married in this universe.
Jayce grabs Viktor’s left hand, examining it. He looks at his own.
Twin rings adorn their fingers, Viktor’s golden, Jayce’s silver, both holding a fragment of blue crystal in the middle.
They’re married. They vowed their life to the other, they promised themselves to one another, they actually acted upon the deep-rooted emotions that coursed through the garden that was their relationship, that stubborn weed called love, that always came back no matter how many times you plucked it.
----
or; what if it was Jayce who got to see his life in an alternate universe (now with an epilogue) -

Summary
Half a decade after Viktor leaves Piltover for good, a fragment of Hexcore permanently adhered to his soul, an old friend comes to him for help. This wouldn't be an issue, if the same old friend hadn't spent the last five years trying to hit him, very hard, with a really big hammer.
“You’re not real,” Viktor repeated, closing his eyes. Even with the knowledge that this was a dream, the gentle touch unraveled him. There was an impact crater where his heart should be.
The calloused pad of Jayce's thumb found the corner of Viktor’s mouth. “All right. I’ll bite – what’s your evidence for this hypothesis?”
Viktor smiled into the touch, felt it tug against Jayce's thumbprint. “Isn’t it obvious? You haven’t tried to kill me yet.” -

His thoughts are interrupted by a crash at the door, Xie Lian falling through a hastily drawn distance shortening array, clutching a set of papers like his life depends on it. Maybe it does, Xie Lian has always had the unlucky trait of trouble following his every step.
“Feng Xin,” Xie Lian says, breathless, “Feng Xin, Mu Qing left us letters.”
“What-” He starts, Xie Lian pushes past him, laying the papers on the table.
“Mu Qing he- he left us letters, Feng Xin.” He smiles, something happy and uncontrollable and full of longing, “they go all the way back to Xianle, Feng Xin, Feng Xin he left us letters.”
or, Mu Qing dies, Feng Xin and Xie Lian are left to pick up the pieces.

“Holy shit,” Damian blurts out, incredulous, just as the typing in the background, abruptly, stops.
Jon closes his eyes, and mushes his forehead further into the telephone box. Dammit. He’d found the arrest documentation then. “Look,” he begins.
“You got busted in the Iceberg Casino raid?”
“It was a deep cover mission—”
“You were gambling? You. Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes Teen-Role-Model Jonathan Kent.”

Or: in which Jon gets arrested, steals Kon's jacket, and becomes one with a garbage truck (not necessarily in that order)

Summary
“I wasn’t aware you knew Senator Levu,” Windu spoke cautiously, leaning forward in his seat as well.
Anakin shakes his head, but his body feels slow as if he’s moving through that awful jello that the GAR thinks is dessert. “I had a dream about her last night,” he says numbly.
The sense of dread hollows out his chest cavity and doesn’t seem intent on leaving. Every inch of Anakin’s being is screaming to run. His skin itches like he’s about to be thrown into jail as if he killed this senator.
“A dream you had?” Master Yoda speaks for the first time since Anakin entered, ears twitching in concern. “Like your mother, this dream?”
Anakin shakes his head again, “No. No, I… at least I didn’t think so. She was scared; she was running away from something, but I didn’t see what it was.”
“What were you doing in this dream?”
I think I was the one chasing her. “Just watching.”

“You’re a good person, Ani,” Padmé said.
His feet sought out that ornate, gilded doorframe. They stopped him in front of it so that he could turn back with a hand on the hilt of his saber.
“I’m not,” he said. “But I’m trying to become one. Our kids are an anchor for me. I just wish I could be one for them.”
(Anakin doesn't fall, but he and Padmé don't keep custody of Luke and Leia. Anakin tries to grapple with the consensual loss of his children while trying to stay in their lives. Meanwhile, someone murders a senator.)

Summary
If the squirrel no longer fears Yan, then he must find something that she does fear, and that is this. And this needs to be implemented in the garden immediately, if Yan hopes to protect any more tomatoes.
“My apprentice,” Sidious says, “I have noted that you have been absent from your post lately.”
“Taken ill, I have been, my master,” Yan says smoothly, as though he is not one such person who waltzes around town wielding a great, horned, plastoid bird.
Sidious blinks in a fashion that resembles the very same creature in Yan’s hands. Yan blinks back innocently.
“May we walk?” Sidious asks.
“We may indeed,” Yan says.
(Dooku joined the darkside because he thought it would take him away from a life tied up in red tape and, finding that what was awaiting for him on the other side of the Force was just more goddamn red tape, he moves out to the country to an old cottage and demands that his grandkids come help him set up a pig pen.)
