    Summary

    They’d already gone through the motions of divorce, featuring a paper trail littered with Jayce’s signature to prove it. Sex without the fear of if it could ruin them... they were already ruined, how could it possibly get any worse?
    --
    Jayce Giopara and Viktor Čapek are not on good terms. Selling out hasn't been a mutually beneficial arrangement. But as months pass and conflicting emotions compound, it's only a matter of time before something breaks.

    Summary

    Viktor knew how he looked. With his sharp angles and hollowed cheeks and colt-like limbs, he was a serpentine god with all his alabaster beauty.

    The nobles whispered about it. The investors watched Viktor move, fascination warring with discomfort. The Council scoffed at the idea of a Zaunite on their board—until they saw him.

    Exotic. Enthralling. An exquisite thing to be coveted for themselves.

    Viktor had once despised it.

    Despised the way they stared, the way their fascination was always tinged with something possessive, as if he were a rare specimen on display. Loathed the murmurs in the Academy halls, the furtive glances that dogged him everywhere he went.

    Now?

    Now, he used it.

    If they should lust after him, they did so at their own peril.

    Desire was a fundamental human weakness. A distraction. A vulnerability. And if Jayce Talis was to prove useful, then Viktor would use every weakness he had.

    Or: Councillor Viktor, the fic.

    Summary

    What has Viktor done to deserve this? At what point did Jayce come to value him so highly? Somehow, this bond of theirs grew so gradually, so subtly, escaping Viktor’s notice as it entwined itself into every facet of their lives, strangling all else with its roots until only its verdant bloom remained.

    “Let me go, Jayce.”

    The grip on him tightens. “I won’t.”

    No. He’s made that quite clear. Viktor lacks the strength to shake him off; if he tried, Jayce would surely release him, but to rob Jayce of his sole source of comfort would not be right, nor good, and so Viktor waits. A minute passes, then two, then four.

    The rune swallows them up, and abandons them in an unfamiliar land. Is this not what they wanted? With naught but the clothes on their backs, they are left to wander. To wonder.

    Summary

    Jayce returns from the future, but cannot bring himself to keep his promise; rather than destroying Viktor, Jayce attempts to save the world by loving him, instead.

    And as for Viktor’s depleting power source- well, fortunately Jayce’s trips through the Wild Rune left him with a built-in solution for that, too.

    (Oh, they could have used his blood- the magic permeated through all the fluids in his body- but wasn’t this so much better?)

    A medical emergency in the mines leaves the Herald weakened to incapacitation. Someone better find the Defender- only he can restore our Lord to good health again.

    Summary

    Dying, trapped in a crack in the world, Jayce has lost almost everything- save the memories. And in the darkness those come out in terrible, technicolor clarity. Every victory, every failure, how it all began- and how it ended. Every single time he stepped over the edge. Every time he fell.

    (Jayce hadn't thought anything of him at first- easy to overlook an unwanted bureaucrat- easier still, to overlook a cripple.)

    (Something sly about it, the cast of that pale face. Just how bright those golden eyes were, in the black. They seemed to catch the light, reflecting it back, like those of a young fox.)

    Of course, falling didn't always hurt. Once, he had fallen in love.
