    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

    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

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Summary

    This body’s history reveals itself in shades as he shifts under the sheets; the ghost of a spasm traveling through his bruise-lined leg, the familiar hitch of his own breath when he breathes in too deep. There is no taking the Undercity out of him even here and he is glad for it. At least that is the same, and though his body feels better— lighter— than it had been on some of his best days at the Academy, he wonders if perhaps he is still deteriorating.

    He vaguely hopes he is. Among the many comforts of the cotton-soft sheets and buttery light of the bedroom, it is the only thing he deserves.

    --

    Post S2 finale, Viktor wakes up in a world seemingly too good to be true, except he's alone. Jayce finds him and tries to convince Viktor that he deserves to have good things, including a new life together. Among other things Jayce wants to give him.

    Summary

    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

    “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).

    Summary

    The first thing Viktor notices as he opens his eyes is the absence of pain.
    The second is gut-wrenching hunger.
    Something’s wrong. Something’s terribly, terribly wrong.

     

    Viktor isn't fused with the Hexcore (he's fused with much, much worse).

    Summary

    This is usually the moment in the dream when Jayce realizes he’s loved Viktor for a long time. He doesn’t say anything about that, though. Instead he says, We did it, we did it, Viktor, and Viktor says, Catch me. Jayce smiles so wide it aches.
    Maybe that’s not exactly how it happened. Maybe Jayce doesn’t care.
    Tonight he dreams about That Night again. In this version, he already knows that Viktor is going to die—he stares at his limbs moving like he’s underwater, at his big, bright smile, and thinks I don’t want you to end up where you’re going. What can I do to make sure you stay?

    Jayce and Viktor try to save Viktor's life.

    Summary

    “Do you ever get jealous of me?” he asks Viktor after taking a small sip.

    He steels himself for Viktor’s answer.

    The tapping sound of Viktor’s cane is steady against the stone floor of the terrace.

    It’s familiar.

    “No. I do not envy your position, Jayce. If anything after tonight I feel…I feel like perhaps I should have come to a few more of these events with you earlier.”

    Jayce always wants Viktor at his side. Viktor has trouble understanding why.

    Summary

    “I said everything made sense then.” Jayce rolls over onto his side and gives Viktor a fond smile.

    “I do not think…I do not think it was,” Viktor says.

    He trails off and drops his eyes, staring at patches of moss on the ground between tufts of grass.

    Jayce waits.

    “I think…we simply did not pay attention."

    Viktor and Jayce reunite after both have made irreparable choices. They talk, fight, and finally come together.

    Summary

    Viktor feels his face stretch into a smile before he realizes what is happening or what Jayce has said.

    He must look wrecked—

    —And impossibly, irrevocably, in love with Jayce.

    He’s too tired to hide it, despite everything that has happened. And perhaps he didn’t always do the best job of hiding it to begin with.

    Their partnership began with Viktor talking Jayce off a ledge. Years later, Jayce returns the favour.

    Summary

    “I’m not planning your funeral.”

    “Someone has to.” Viktor isn’t even looking to see the way Jayce glares at him. “Either we do it together now, or we wait, and you can do it… later. On your own.”
