Summary
Piltover’s Defender of Tomorrow dies on Wednesday evening. By Thursday, the announcement hits the morning gazette, and it won’t leave the news cycle until well past the Sunday edition.
Zaun’s Machine Herald scoffs the first time he reads it, tossing the stained and torn paper that his apprentice brought down the conveyor behind his shoulder. He is rewiring his left arm again, trying to iron out why his sensors detect a microsecond’s delay between the synapses firing in his brain and the acknowledgement by his mechanical nerves.
“Natural causes,” he scoffs. “He is what? Sixty years old? Men that rich do not die that young.”

Summary
It's 1997. God is real, and He is in your cereal, your radio, the glint of headlights caught in roadkill eyes. In the hum of cicadas and the low pulse of FM static. He is in the rust on your daddy's tools, the warm plastic of the truck dashboard, the syrup-thick silence that settles over the hills come sundown. If you're listening proper, you can hear Him in the drip of the kitchen tap, the way it ticks time like a metronome. Keeps beat for the loneliness.
Jayce Talis lives alone in the hills, content to keep to himself, his Bible, and the quiet work of tending land too stubborn to yield much. Then one summer evening, the church drops a half-starved stranger on his porch. Viktor- sharp-tongued, bird-boned and unrepentant- is the kind of man Jayce was raised to turn away from. But the mountains have a way of stretching out time and making space for things that don’t belong, and the more Viktor learns to live, the more he makes Jayce remember what he's spent years trying to forget.

After promising the old mage that he wouldn’t fail, Jayce is sent back to Piltover - ten minutes before his lab explodes.

Summary
“Magic devotion,” Viktor breathed in awe, staring down at the sigil on his hand.
“It connects us,” Jayce stood and knelt at Viktor’s side, taking his hand and holding it to his chest plate, the sigils side by side. “From this moment, until we find the gemstones you need, I am contractually yours. I am your weapon, your shield, your tower, your guide. Whatever you ask of me, I am humbly at your command.”
Jayce pressed a kiss onto Viktor’s knuckles, a tradition of showing his allegiance to the man. “Nothing will break this oath except for fulfillment. I swear on my life.”
-Or, a D&Dverse Jayvik! Jayce, a Paladin of Devotion crosses paths with the Artificer Wizard Viktor and together they will go on an epic journey to find the legendary hex crystals- magic gemstones rumored to be infused with an infinite supply of magic.

Summary
The man – someone who Jayce is certain can only be a future version of himself despite the illogicality of that statement – runs his thumb over Jayce’s cheekbone, dragging through dried tracks of salt. “I can’t explain further, but please. Trust me.” He sits up, their faces now mere inches away. “Trust yourself.”

Summary
“Jayce,” Viktor says, “Are you alright.”
You blink, blearily, at the Machine Herald, then at the hole in your window still faintly glowing around the edges from being melted through with a laser, then out at the warm summer midnight beyond. And you say to him,
“I’ve got the air conditioner on, man.”
You’re standing in your living room wearing nothing but your boxers, caught between one glass of whiskey and the next, contemplating the broken glass on the floor and sort of wishing it had stayed one melted heap instead of falling through the carved hole in the center.
You haven’t left your house in three weeks.

Summary
Here is yet another proof of his immense care, of his gentle and boundless wisdom: the Herald announces he will see to his dear friend alone. They needn't worry. Soon he will be reborn. But for the time being, ah— how about we ensure his comfort, hmm? Some space will do just fine. Some time resting under the sun.
The Herald touches his friend's arm, softly, and takes him by the hand. He scatters the onlooking crowd without raising his voice, makes them float away like so many blown strings of a dandelion sprout.
See? There is nothing to fear, he tells Jayce. You are among friends. You are safe. You are all mine.

Viktor takes care of Jayce. Purity of intention is a matter of perspective.

Summary
-A Medieval Jayvik AU-
Snow drifted across a crisp surface of ice atop of more snow; so much of it that it left Jayce blinded momentarily. It must have rained overnight, freezing that cold shell in place. Over the bushes, the crowns of the dark trees watched from where they flanked the uneven road on which his family’s wagon had come to a halt. He had jumped off, hands letting go of the reins almost before he pushed them into his mother's, after he had called her frantically.
There was something out there. Like a magnet it had pulled on his heart, splintering his perception.
OR: Jayce and his mother find an abandoned Viktor in the snow and take him in. Gay panic ensues.

Summary
There’s a teddy in Soap’s bed; a beaten-up, old brown bear. Well-loved, if the state of the fur is any indication. Ghost lets out a choked laugh, mostly at his own expense. He wishes he was there, suddenly, wishes he was by Johnny’s side as he walked through the doorway and realised that his childhood room was waiting for him like a time capsule. Wishes he got to see the embarrassed scrunch of his face, the way the tips of his ears would flush red.
Soap has a whole second life, outside of the SAS. He’s got a mother, and a poorly-decorated bedroom, and a bear. All Ghost has is a flat that will be the same it is today as it will be the day he dies, like he was never even here at all.

His routine ticks along in a single, predictable pattern: he shows up to work, worries about deadlines, keeps his mouth shut, and masturbates until he falls asleep. Every day for nine years now. Every day.
And then Jayce comes along.

Summary
Ambessa tapped her cheek, seeming pressed by the cryptic nature of his words. “Speak, boy, or I will recant your status on time wasted alone.”
He curled his hand into a fist, leaning on the battle axe pressed into the floor.
“Your Majesty, I ask this and only this: that you surrender me to the service of Prince Viktor as His Highness’ sole, personal guard.”
The room went quieter than the faintest whisper, more stunned than a stolen breath.
“...Come again?” Ambessa asked, her voice severe.
--
Or, the one where Prince Viktor, the adopted son and political prisoner of the Medarda Clan reunites with the boy he made a Knight: the venerable Sir Jayce Talis. The Prince seeks freedom. And the Knight seeks revenge. But what matters most in the end, more than all politics and crusades, is that these two men, born in a time where not more than loyalty is even legal, are hopelessly, incandescently in love with each other.
