    Summary

    Kabru didn’t see Mithrun very often.

    Between Kabru's work as a royal advisor and Mithrun's post-retirement plan to help track and control the monsters in outlying areas of the kingdom, weeks at a time passed when they weren't even in the same place.

    Kabru quickly realized, to his surprise and annoyance, that he missed Mithrun when he was gone. They hadn’t even spent that many days together in the dungeon, but somewhere between lulling Mithrun to sleep every night, fighting a demon together, and helping Mithrun begin to find a new purpose in life, Kabru had come to feel close to the other man. Mithrun, he was sure, didn’t feel the same way. How could he miss Kabru or care about seeing him if he had no desires? And yet, every time Mithrun was back in town, he came by to visit.

    Summary

    Viktor knew this feeling, knew it intimately; it was fear. And not just fear—terror, dread, existential mortification. He’d known these things, on some level, of course he’d known. Of course Jayce still loved him, and of course he still loved Jayce. But they didn’t say these things to each other anymore, they couldn’t. The politics of their two cities and their two hearts had taken a molten blade to that string tying them together, and cauterized it in the process. They couldn’t open up this wound, they can’t, they can’t, they can’t…

    Summary

    And as Jayce stands in his house in Northern Piltover, as he looks at himself in his mirror and looks at his aging body and the scars that cover it, as he thinks and thinks about the past and the people—the person—he shared it with, he can confidently say that he has never cared for Viktor.

    Jayce Giopara has never been in love. Maybe he never will be.

    Jayce Giopara is not in love with Viktor. Jayce Giopara is not in love with the Machine Herald.

    The Defender of Tomorrow has no interest in what the Machine Herald does and only cares that he doesn’t threaten the lives of the citizens of Piltover.

    Jayce doesn’t care about Viktor, or his life, or his well-being, so there is no reason for him to go down to Zaun, just because the Machine Herald hasn’t been seen in four months.

     

    Right?

    Summary

    The distant look in the Mage’s eyes snapped to the gap of the roof, to the near-silent tuttering of other, watchful machines down below. “No, it doesn’t matter. You will be safe up here. It should be simple enough, to lay protective wards into the earth of the tower. I won’t let anything happen to you,” he vowed.

    Promises held no impetus in this world, where nothing happened, nothing changed.

    The Machine reset its position on its knees and replaced its hands on the weapon of a fallen era. I can’t stop you from making useless promises, can I?

    Somehow, without doing anything, the Machine had gained a visitor and protector.

    Summary

    “Father Viktor has brought back all those programs you whined about missing. The East Hall is being converted into a soup kitchen as we speak, and after Mass there’s going to be an open-doors Christmas meal,” his mother says wistfully, drinking in a sip from her mug.

    Jayce is going to have to see that for himself. His high income neighborhood and the prestigious, self-righteous families that attend the Church? Rubbing elbows with people in need for the holidays?

    Maybe he really does need to meet Father Viktor. And shake his hand.

    ─── ⋆⋅ ♰ ⋅⋆ ───

    Or: Jayce comes home for the holidays after a breakup to find a new priest at his childhood Catholic church. Father Viktor is not the kind of person Jayce ever expected to be a priest, but he has a dream to change Jayce's hometown for the better, and he decides to do everything he can to help. The more he helps, the more Jayce sees glimpses of Viktor, the man, not the priest. And the more glimpses he sees of Viktor, the more Jayce is so, so fucked.

    Summary

    It's easy enough for Jayce to buy a proper coffee maker for the lab. He and Viktor work a lot of late nights, after all, and sometimes they need a pick me up. It's easy enough for him to rationalize it as a gesture of friendship.

    He can't really explain the blankets, though. Or the chocolate bars. Or the snacks. Or that time he offered a leg massage.

    (Jayce is legendarily down bad for Viktor. This manifests in him making the lab as sort of a second home. Thankfully, Viktor notices.)

    Summary

    Six years after he and Viktor part ways on antagonistic terms, Jayce wakes up in the Machine Herald’s medical clinic.

    Jayce desperately wants to rub at his forehead, but the binding at his wrist stops him. He settles for squeezing his eyes shut. “Why?” he asks.

    Viktor is silent for barely a moment. He says, tonelessly, “I assumed this was preferable to dying.”

    Summary

    '“I love you,” Viktor says, breaking Jayce away from his thoughts. “I’m sorry.”

    It’s probably the last time Jayce will hear those words coming from him. His head hurts, the ball in his throat growing impossibly bigger.

    “I love you too,” Jayce chokes out. “I understand. I’m sorry too.”

    Summary

    “This is wrong,” Jayce rasped, his voice strained with torment, so unlike the Jayce that had left mere hours ago to dance and drink and make merry and maybe even make love to the beautiful Mel Medarda. “This is too far back, I shouldn’t be here—”

    This Jayce was like a wild animal, bearded and shaggy, furious and heartbroken.

    The huge weapon thudded to the floor once again, and Viktor finally dared to speak.

    “Jayce, is that… you?”

    Stewing in his loneliness, research assistant Viktor witnesses an Anomaly take place in the laboratory he shares with Jayce Talis, potentially altering life as they know it (or might never come to know).

    “Shall I make a case for evolution?” Viktor asks. “Will you allow me this?” Viktor’s other hand creeps around Jayce’s neck, fondling the lump of his Adam’s apple. “I think you will enjoy it.”

    If there are infinite universes out there, then it stands to reason that there must be one where they have sex.

    He remembered the sweat and heat of a love confessed too late in the quiet stretch of dawn, and the mutual betrayal of trust that reduced it all to ashes.

    He remembered Viktor refusing to look back at him as he disappeared across the bridge.

    And he remembered hating himself every day since.

    Summary

    Jayce pulls him up till he’s sitting, bringing him to his chest and holding him closer. It seems cruel to think of separating, even by an inch. “I love you,” he says, because it’s true. Because Viktor needs to know. Because the words have been trying to burst from his throat since the minute they woke up. “I should’ve told you before we- I mean. I should’ve said. I didn’t want to die without you knowing. I don’t know why I didn’t. I love you. I’ve loved you.”

    Viktor lets out a choked gasp from where his head is buried in the crook between Jayce’s neck and shoulder. “What?”

    ---

    or what happens after the ending of arcane- the slightly more positive version where Jayce and Viktor wake up somewhere new, together and very much alive.
