    Summary

    Viktor was doing his master's degree, trying to balance everything out, carefully choosing his next steps as all the work and studies seemed to pile up without any halt. Karaoke night was the last thing that could somehow help him with it. A fully packed place with drunk students was not on the list of ideas that could ease his nerves.

    Summary

    Viktor leans towards him as they make their way down the academy steps. “We should go get drinks.”

    Jayce stumbles on a step. “Drinks?”

    “Yes,” Viktor says. His lips curl up in a playful smile. “Don’t you think we ought to celebrate our success, partner?”

    At the start of it all, Viktor and Jayce go out for drinks.

    Summary

    “What does it do?”

    “It strengthens your innate connection to the arcane. All living things have one. If you need to talk to me, wear it before you sleep and I should be able to find you.”

    Caitlyn frowns. “…Just you?”

    Mel gives a small shrug, her smile inscrutable. “It’s attuned to my magic. So, yes, just me. And… others I allow.”

    In the aftermath of a world-shattering battle, Caitlyn mourns. A revelation from Mel right before she leaves for Noxus threatens to rip open a wound that has barely had a chance to close.

    Summary

    Jayce grins. “Too deep in your paperwork, Councilor Kiramman?”

    She groans and pushes aside the stack of papers she was focused on. “If you would join the council again, Mr. Talis, maybe you could take some of this paperwork off of my hands.”

    He laughs and shakes his head, holding his hands up in surrender. “No, we saw how that went last time. I’d rather spend my time in the academy labs, thanks. Besides, I haven’t been very popular with the council or with the citizens since I came out in support of, you know, not having Viktor thrown into Stillwater or executed.”

    After the war, Caitlyn and Jayce have a quiet conversation.

    Summary

    After a failed supply run to the Undercity Jayce stumbled upon Viktor indulging in one of his more decadent hobbies.

    ~

    The most noticeable was the mask. A gorgeous, intricate piece of art hewn from bronze coloured metal shaped into the likings of a bird. The forehead was decorated with a smatter of delicate gears that trailed all the way down along the left temple. A round piece of glass covered the right eye, reflecting the low light of flickering candles, and the beak was curved just enough to reveal pale lips at the right angle.

    Summary

    “Every time your mind is racing, you find somewhere to be alone. You were not at the docks, which means that it must be serious enough to warrant a distraction.” Her thumb brushes over his knuckles. “What’s on your mind?”

    Viktor is deeply unsettled by the fact that she knows him well enough to have noticed. Unsettled more by the fact that she’d sought him out.

    (It makes him want to be honest. Which is a mindless, traitorous thought, but the truth nonetheless.)

    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

    When Viktor says, “Jayce, your leg…” his voice does not reverberate with an otherworldly echo. He sounds like Viktor—just Viktor. Jayce’s partner.

    “It’s okay,” Jayce says. He wraps his fingers around the hand that Viktor offers him, and as their skin touches, an electric tingle goes down Jayce’s arm. For a moment he expects them to be back in that other place, blinding blue light and the glow of countless souls surrounding them, but no—they’re still here, in the bright midday sunlight, on the shattered dome above Piltover. They are real.

    Jayce and Viktor survive. There is still so much for them to figure out.

    Summary

    From across the room, he heard a delicate peel of laughter. Mel was pretending to laugh at whatever Councilor Hoskel had just said. It was hard not to look, and became harder when Viktor caught his eye from his place on the other side of Hoskel gave an exaggerated eyeroll. Jayce gave him a small smirk in return, which earned him a very insistent and surprisingly painful poke on his shoulder from Cait.
    “Ow! Why?” he said, attention finally fully on her.
    “You’re being rude,” Cait said, sounding alarmingly like her mother. “What are you even looking at?”
    Cait swiveled her head before Jayce could stop her and then looked back at him with a very large grin.

    A few months after discovering Hextech, Jayce finds himself at a party with the two people he loves and is too afraid to tell.

    Summary

    Viktor sighed and pulled the next resume to him. Then he stopped with a jolt. He knew the handwriting and the name. Emery Ashby. Viktor dated him for about six months after he had become Heimerdinger’s assistant. He thought he loved him. It did not end well. Viktor shoved the resume aside as if it were the most distasteful thing on the planet. He wanted to go home then. The memory suddenly felt too fresh.
    A moment later, Jayce set a mug on Viktor’s work bench, which pulled him out of his thoughts, and dragged over his own chair to sit next to him. He’d been doing that lately, getting in Viktor’s space. He found, much to his surprise, that he did not mind.
    “Did I get it right?” Jayce asked as Viktor took a sip.
    “Eh, closer,” Viktor said with a small smile.
    “I don’t know how you can stand it like that.”
    “Life is brief. I refused to spend it drinking bitter things.”

     

    Viktor and Jayce stay up to late and talk about past relationships. Viktor loves Jayce. It is inconvenient.

    Summary

    “Get up, Mel. Pull yourself together,” her mother said not unkindly when she finally turned to her attention on her.
    Mel stood and gulped back more tears, breathing deeply until they stopped. Then her mother smiled at her and wiped at the tear tracks with her large thumb.
    “That’s my girl. Remember, Medardas are not weak,” her mother continued.
    “I know, mother,” Mel replied, voice still thick with tears.
    “Good. What are Medardas?”
    “Strong, ruthless, loyal, clever, and uncompromising,” Mel said immediately.
    Her mother nodded her approval with a small smile.

     

    Mel tries and fails to uphold her family's virtues.

    Summary

    She burned Viktor’s name. No one else would. He was cursed now. A bad omen. A villain to scare children. If you don’t go play outside every now and then, you’ll end up like the Machine Herald. Don’t go too deep into the Sumps. That’s where the Machine Herald lives, waiting to take your soul and turn you into one of his puppets. That was not the Viktor she knew.
    The Viktor she knew had an expressive face. A brilliant mind she had thought of cultivating before Jayce came and they snatched each other from her. She remembered him as he was. The young man who would roll his eyes behind Heimerdinger’s back whenever he mistook a deadline by months. The man who broke every law, pretended to be sneaking Jayce Talis into his bedroom, and changed the world. The man who fought against his death with all he had and who Jayce loved. Like a brother, he’d said. Like something else, she’d thought.

    Mel mourns. Jayce and Viktor find her again.

    Summary

    Tim had decided, the first time he’d seen Jon pull a lockpick set out of his pocket and pick a lock in less than a minute, that he did, in fact, have a bit of a predilection toward delinquency. Particularly when said delinquent dressed like a college professor and used words like ‘ostentatious’ and ‘salient.’

    The being a little bit in love with him bit had come later. But it wasn’t like Tim hadn’t seen it coming.

    Summary

    A corner of Jon’s mouth turns up, a sliver of a smirk. He’s wearing one of Tim’s hoodies and his hair is a thick, sleep-tangled mess and he has blue-grey bags under his eyes. And sure, Tim’s known that he loves Jon for quite some time, and they’ve been dating for nearly two years now (long enough that he’s begun to surreptitiously create a list of potential rings), but he’s always reminded of it when he least expects it.

    .

    In which Tim makes eggs, Jon complains about tea, and there's quiet domesticity in the early morning.

    Summary

    Jon’s been awake for two weeks and three days when Tim finally works up the nerve to see him.

    He opens the door and sees Jon sitting at his desk, hair pinned up in a haphazard topknot and a jumper that’s much too large swallowing his body whole. Jon looks up at him, his eyes widening a bit, and all Tim can feel is relief.

    .

    In which Tim survives the Unknowing, conversations are had, and relationships begin to be rebuilt.

    Although… according to Georgie, Jon doesn’t.

    Martin pauses the tape and rubs his hands over his eyes. His cheeks are burning red, and he takes a few minutes to just breathe.

    Doesn’t what? Doesn’t date? Doesn’t kiss? Doesn’t—

    Martin stops that train of thought before it goes any further.

    .

    In which Jon faces assumptions and misconceptions about his sexuality throughout the years and from a variety of people, and he finally finds his resolution in the Scottish Highlands.
