    Summary

    When Viktor finally asks why Jayce stayed behind inside the Anomaly with him, Jayce stares at him as though he’s supremely disappointed by the question— as if Viktor has betrayed his own brilliance by asking something so irredeemably stupid. “How could I not? We’re partners.”

    Partners, Jayce calls them. Not for the first time, Viktor wonders: Partners in what?

    *

    Or: Jayce and Viktor survive the Hexcore, a blizzard, their own bodies, sharing a bed and all the things they’re too afraid to say. Slowly, they put themselves back together— piece by stubborn piece.

    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

    (The Last of Us AU)

    After an attack on the convoy escorting him out of Boston, Firefly scientist Viktor has little recourse but to rely on Jayce Talis, a FEDRA soldier, to get him safely across the United States to St. Mary's Hospital in Salt Lake City, where he has the chance to save the entire world.

    Summary

    Jayce Talis needs to get out of New York. His publisher calls it a “creative retreat,” but Jayce knows better. His work is slipping, the city feels too loud, too suffocating. So he drives—somewhere quieter, somewhere slower. He rents a room in a small town that barely exists on a map, tells himself it’s just for the summer.

    He isn’t looking for a muse.

    But then there’s his new landlord—Viktor.

    Sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued, cigarette in hand. Unbothered by the heat, unimpressed by Jayce, unreadable in a way that makes Jayce want to study him a little too long.
