There's a serial killer on the loose in Piltover, who only targets the famous elite. And while the spoiled rich fear for their lives, the police are absolutely clueless.

Summary
A small, red light.
Reflecting in Viktor's window, when he draws the blinds. Lingering at the edge of Viktor's vision while he circles the pole. Digging a hole in Viktor's mind, a claim on his awareness, refusing to leave.
Is someone watching him?

Summary
Viktor looks up, blinking slowly at Jayce, one shoulder heavy with the weight of Jayce's hand. It's weird, these moments of casual intimacy, the feeling of lingering warmth, the honesty of it. Viktor can't fix a wall for Jayce, the man lives in a infuriatingly functional apartment, but he can fix some equations of his later, even though that won't be enough. Because Viktor keeps a tap and it's not yet even. It'll probably never be even. Not with Jayce's generous offer, not with the gift of his knowledge, not with the way he keeps tending to their partnership like it's a treasured keepsake.
-
There are seven years from the day they go flying in Heimerdinger’s lab to the moment Jayce leaves out their new inventions in his Progress day speech. This is about what might have happened in between. -

Summary
He wonders if he has a life beyond today. He wonders if he has time to erase the chalk plans in his home before abandoning it forever. He wonders if he was the one who looked into the mirror, or the one who stepped out of it.
— Essek and the Nein succeed in defeating the Somnovem, but their return to the Material Plane is a backwards trip out of Aeor. He is haunted by his memories, his guilt, the monsters around every corner, the threat of Trent Ikithon — and a shadow in his periphery that looks remarkably like himself. For Essek Thelyss, love and annihilation go hand-in-hand, until he learns otherwise.
