    Summary

    Jayce Talis is forty-one, married, and miserable. Once a promising poet, he gave it all up when his wife became pregnant at a young age, and now he teaches evening classes at the local community college, trapped in a marriage that has long since turned into a friendship. His son is thriving, his life is stable, but Jayce hasn’t written a real line in years.

    Then there’s Viktor Reveck— twenty-three, poor, disabled, and brilliant. A Czech transplant who works full-time while scraping through school, Viktor takes Jayce’s poetry course two nights a week and quickly becomes the first student in years to actually see him. Engaged. Curious. Hungry. His poems cut deeper than either of them wants to admit.

    What begins as admiration becomes obsession: long nights circling the drain of want, stolen moments after class, confessions over wine. Jayce knows he should stop. He has a wife, a son, and a life. But Viktor makes him feel alive again, and he can’t decide if he wants Viktor’s talent, his heart, or his body…maybe all three.

    Summary

    Jayce never really believed in ghosts.

    But after Viktor dies, the house won’t stop echoing. A familiar voice in the hallway. Two cups left out. The dent of a body on Viktor’s side of the bed. And eventually, the voice becomes clearer. The silence begins to answer back.

    And maybe—if Jayce keeps the curtains drawn, the rug crooked, the cardigan folded just right—Viktor will stay.

    Summary

    Jayce wakes up after the arcane explosion, except- he is alone.

    Determined to find Viktor, he seeks shelter in what appears to be an abandoned house in the middle of a meadow.

    As the days and weeks go by, Jayce realizes, the house might be bigger than it seems (and Viktor might be closer that he thought).

    ----

    Or a post-finale fic inspired by House of Leaves, where Jayce is haunted by his mistakes and his desires.

    Summary

    Jayce is twenty-two.
    He tells himself he’ll tear himself apart if he has to, claw his way to the top, change the world someday — all it takes is trying hard enough.
    All those outrageously expensive things and that shiny status will be nothing more than proof of his success.

    Jayce is thirty-two.
    He did tear himself apart.
    Somewhere along the way, though, he seems to have traded in his skin, his dreams, and that whole “change the world” thing for scrap.

    Summary

    Before Jayce is transported back to his time from the ruined future, he finds himself in another time and place, similar to his own past, and comes face to face with Viktor’s younger self. Why is he here? How can he get home? And can he save this Viktor in a way he couldn’t his own?

    Aka season 2 Jayce and season 1 Viktor.
