    Summary

    Carlisle has been thoroughly ashamed of his nature since the moment a pang of hunger jolted him awake in some London back alley. He has spent every moment since trying to atone for his existence. Though he is satisfied most days, he is even more ashamed - even more terrified - of the specific, gnawing bloodlust that follows dark-haired backwoodsmen.

    Somehow still reeling from the loss of his wife 20 years ago, Charlie Swan realizes he's also managed to lose his only daughter. Frantic to explain the sudden and bizarre turn of events that ripped Bella from him, Charlie decides to risk losing what little he has left by playing investigator. But vampiric laws have powerful enforcers, and there might be good reason for Charlie to stay in the dark.

    tldr: Carlisle's gay ass is so repressed that attraction and bloodlust are tied inexorably. Charlie gets closer to Carlisle and finds more there than answers.

    Summary

    He thought about Jayce, drawing him in what couldn't have been more than twenty minutes at a time; if he wanted to finish the sketch by the time Viktor shifted, he must have had to prioritise, put down wide, defining lines that cut to the core of what Viktor was.

    And what was Viktor?

    His reflection eyed him from the window, face impassable.

    -

    Or, Viktor discovers Jayce's sketchbook.

    Summary

    Instead of dissolving with Viktor like Jayce expected, he gets sent a decade into the past when Viktor didn’t even know him yet. Of course the logical action to take is to kidnap him. Meanwhile Viktor, twenty-two years old, figures that hey, as long as he can research magic, this isn’t too bad of a predicament.

    Or: Post-Season 2 Jayce and Season 1 Viktor, the grief of having lost your soulmate while having to look at his younger version who doesn’t even know you, the endless exhaustion of being a second-hand love and also science.

    Summary

    Viktor never escapes the Undercity. He never finds his way to Piltover's Academy. He never takes a job with Heimerdinger and dreams of bigger things. Instead, after ten years as Singed's apprentice, he finds two lost children on the worst night of their lives and gives them a home. In many ways, this changes everything. In others, it changes nothing at all.

    “No. You’re going to do something much worse than killing Silco,” Viktor tells Benzo’s ward. “He wants you dead. Out of his path, as he continues to forge forward. Instead, you’re going to survive.”
    Viktor offers the boy his hand. “We are obstacles. All three of us. We’ll take care of each other."

    I’ll keep him alive. I’ll keep them both alive, he offers Benzo’s ghost. Vander’s, too. A meager attempt at atonement, perhaps, but it's the last thing he has left to give.

    Summary

    Half a decade after Viktor leaves Piltover for good, a fragment of Hexcore permanently adhered to his soul, an old friend comes to him for help. This wouldn't be an issue, if the same old friend hadn't spent the last five years trying to hit him, very hard, with a really big hammer.

     

    “You’re not real,” Viktor repeated, closing his eyes. Even with the knowledge that this was a dream, the gentle touch unraveled him. There was an impact crater where his heart should be.
    The calloused pad of Jayce's thumb found the corner of Viktor’s mouth. “All right. I’ll bite – what’s your evidence for this hypothesis?”
    Viktor smiled into the touch, felt it tug against Jayce's thumbprint. “Isn’t it obvious? You haven’t tried to kill me yet.”
