Summary
Viktor wanted a quiet new life. Less academia, more meaning. Becoming a therapist was supposed to help people, not ruin him. But then Dr. Jayce Talis moves in next door: gorgeous, brilliant, and very married.
When his wife Mel books a discreet couples session, Viktor knows the rules - stay professional, stay detached. But every look between Jayce and him feels like a dare, every touch a mistake waiting to happen. And the worst part? He’s not sure he cares...---
Note: Although Viktor’s involvement is ethically questionable, the story does not villainise any character. Jayce and Mel’s marriage is already faltering when they seek Viktor’s help, and by the end, all three find peace. No Mel-bashing involved.- Language:

Summary
Loving Viktor is easy, Jayce thinks. Easier than breathing, easier than existing. He would do anything for Viktor, who is his best friend and closest confidant. His partner in all ways but one.
However, there are some things he simply cannot do, like convincing the council to fund Viktor’s passion project. As a result, Viktor becomes a surrogate for hire, and Jayce must watch him go through the trials of pregnancy, all while trying to support him the best he can without accidentally confessing his feelings.

Summary
Are you hurting?” Jayce asked gently. Viktor tended to answer that question in two ways these days—either with a resigned sigh and affirmation, or a scathing look and remark at Jayce for suggesting that there could be any alternative. Jayce certainly didn’t fault Viktor when the latter happened, knowing that if Viktor was snapping at him, he had to have been truly uncomfortable.
But Viktor didn’t do either, simply shaking his head. “No, not really. I am not in actual pain, I just feel…” Viktor paused, gnawing at his bottom lip and rubbing a hand over the swell of his stomach. “Twitchy.”
“Twitchy.” Jayce echoed, an eyebrow raising.

Summary
There are obvious psychological reasons behind Viktor savoring Jayce’s misery, but he’d rather not confront which of them overpowers the others. He’d prefer if he liked it due to a thirst for revenge, retribution. He’d even prefer liking it out of pure sadism.
Unfortunately, the one time he allowed himself to contemplate this, he came to the quick and humiliating conclusion that it simply makes him feel loved.
He was raised to equate love with self sacrifice, and it’s easier to believe Jayce actually cares about him when he’s suffering to make Viktor happy.
Two months into the new era of their relationship, Jayce and Viktor are forced to deal with a multitude of curveballs thrown at them. Some less shocking than others.

Having or wanting a child is not something Viktor ever planned on, not before Jayce and the strange little partnership they strike up. His wants don’t actually matter as his body consistently fails to follow his wishes anyway.
