    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

    There is a thing, and it is moving. He imagines he sees the back of its head, brown and life-bleached. A slash of blue rags swaddling a creature of stumbles and stubbed toes, faun-fresh footsteps over terrain that feels five miles below.

    There are cords. They are ashen greyandpurple, kintsugi spun between the threads. Too soft to be metal, too hard to be flesh.

    Viktor is not here.

    -

    Or, post canon, Jayce and Viktor are back in the land of the living but Viktor is experiencing more than a little disconnect with the experience of existing.

    Summary

    Jayce and Viktor are hurled out of the anomaly and dropped into the field where it all began. While it seems like the opportunity for a fresh start, Jayce's health rapidly begins to decline. In a desperate bid to save his partner, Viktor makes a series of shocking discoveries about Jayce's body and mental state... leading Viktor to believe that *his* Jayce is not what emerged from the Arcane with him.

    Jayce, struggling with the effects of the Arcane on his mental state, also begins to wonder if he is himself anymore.
