Summary
She is actually doing quite well for a time displaced young woman who has just finished a century-long battle with demon, and whose admittedly-few friends are all long dead, and who hasn't used her vocal chords or seen the sun in a hundred years.
(Intimidating word count, but it’s 4 manageable arcs.)

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 didn't do well in the cold.
He was a blacksmith, an engineer. He spent his days working in front of a forge or sweating over a soldering iron. He was too accustomed to the roiling heat, he caught a cold the second snow started to fall. That became the diplomatic excuse, when he needed to quietly and politely bow out of whatever social or fundraising event the Kiramman's had arranged, or later down the line at the endless hand-greasing galas or dinners the Man of Progress had to attend that happened to be scheduled on the first snow of the season.
Jayce fucking hated snow.

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
Jayce appeared in his peripheral, coming to a halt next to him, posture straight in that tired way it always was nowadays. Viktor looked down at his own folded legs, already picturing the expression his friend was wearing.
Concern, poorly disguised disappointment and a spark of something so agonizingly tender in his eyes that Viktor could never look at too closely. A tilted head, hair falling from its careful placement into a slightly curled wave over his forehead. Brow furrowed, eyes sad, lips drawn into a slight pout. The minute scar on his eyebrow pulled taught with worry.
“I haven’t seen you smoke in years.” Jayce said finally. He sat down beside him and Viktor allowed himself a quick glance at his partner’s face. He wasn’t sure if he was more relieved or disappointed to find it turned outwards, gazing at the city lights. With a one-shouldered shrug, he took another drag. Jayce waited patiently for him to breathe out before he answered.
“I haven’t seen a reason to smoke in years.”

Summary
Viktor has always been content with his place in the world, overlooked and alone. Now that he has Jayce, he isn't sure how much longer he can stand it. Not when what he wants so desperately, what he knows he can never have, is always right there. Just out of his reach.
Or: Viktor just wants to be touched. Jayce would be more than happy to help if Viktor would tell him that.

Summary
“No,” Caitlyn whispers, shoulders slipping. Oh, she’s not strong enough for this. “No, no- you- why you? Why you?”
She still smells the way she did two years ago— standing at their doorstep, packing her bags, saying we shouldn’t have done this. I shouldn’t have done this.
“Why me,” Vi repeats. “Isn’t that the fucking question.”
or: they're exes, they're still in love, and they're pretty sure fate just fucking hates them

Summary
“Houston, do you copy?”
Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…
“Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”
Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”
There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.
“Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”
OR
Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

There are two things every Zaunite knows.
One: You deserve nothing.
Two: You will take it anyway.

Summary
The winter has always been rather hard on Viktor.
Yes, the snow and frost bite into his fingers, and his cane slips on ice-slick ground, and he has to walk even slower than usual, and yes it seems as though he is permanently in a state of hypothermia, but truthfully there is even a permanent chill in the tips of Viktor’s fingers in the height of summer, and truthfully Viktor knows physical discomfort well— there is more than that. There is a yearly, omnipresent reminder of the state of his heritage, his family, of his isolation— a cruel, city-wide boast of a warmth Viktor was not lucky enough to be born into. There is the winter holiday.
This year is much the same— a permeating chill seeping into every space he can find, lights and posters and songs celebrating something he has never had and may never have, a dorm room that is barren of Christmas and almost worse than the celebrations beyond his windowsill. This year is much the same, except for one thing. This year, there is Jayce.

Or, the Christmas-themed JayVik fic no one asked for but I took upon myself to write anyway.

Summary
And it intrigued Viktor — he wants to test it, push it — just to see how far things would go if they let them happen; if he let Jayce’s touch linger for one second more, squeezed his hand in return, leaned into his touch. But most importantly; Viktor wants, no NEEDS, to see how Jayce would react — see if he even realizes how much he does it, if he’s aware how it makes Viktor feel.
aka Jayce’s love language is physical touch and Viktor wants to see how far that can go, and they fall in love along the way.

Summary
Viktor experiencing each of the seven deadly sins throughout his time with Jayce.
~~~
“I’m sorry,” Jayce says quietly. His hand reaches back out, slowly, and while Viktor eyes it with as much fucking venom as he can manage, he lets it fall against his thigh, hand warm even through the hospital blankets. “Do you want me to go?”
“No,” Viktor says. “Go fetch the doctor. I need to tell them where they can stick their medical opinions.”

Summary
He’s familiar with the space Viktor takes up, standing next to him by the blackboard or sitting down at the tables. He knows how Viktor will shuffle underneath Jayce’s arm to correct a mistake in his maths, or rewrite a messy theory while Jayce prattles on about the next steps. He knows the surprising sturdiness of Viktor’s cane, as it smacks at his ankles when Jayce doesn’t make room fast enough.
Viktor is no stranger to Jayce.
~~~
This is just 23k of Jayce being hopelessly in love with Viktor. That's it. That's the fic.

Summary
Ever so carefully- as if his hair were made of glass instead of silk and daydreams- Viktor reaches his hand out, his fingers stretching toward Jayce’s hair. He wavers for a moment, hesitating only a second- what if Jayce pulls away? What if he is misreading this whole scenario? What if he crosses a line that cannot be uncrossed-
He is laying with his head in your lap, Viktor chides himself. If anyone crossed a line, it was him. This is merely retaliation- the consequences of his actions. Something Jayce needs exposure to anyway.
And with that, Viktor slips his fingers into Jayce’s hair.
or: jayce has a thing for laying his head in peoples laps. and having his hair pet

Summary
God knows it’s the longest, most quiet minute Jayce has ever experienced. Eventually, Viktor clears his throat. “Were you…Were you serious? About me joining you for Christmas?”
It's so quiet that Jayce almost misses it.
At some point, he also reminds himself to inhale. “Of course!” he breathes. “Viktor, I, I don’t want you to be here by yourself.”
A faint frown tightens Viktor’s brow again, deeper than the last, but it’s gone as soon as it appears. He sighs and nods, almost to himself. “Thank you, I…I will take you up on that offer. If that’s okay, of course, with your family.”
--
College!AU - Jayce realises that Viktor will be spending the Christmas alone at the university. He invites him to spend it with the Talis family, instead. Apparently, the word "partner" can have all kinds of meanings.

Summary
They were together in this, whatever this was, it was Jayce and Viktor until the end. In every explorable angle, every possibility, there was no other logical outcome. Always and forever, through the vast expansion of time and space and every tiny little ball of gas, through the ever changing boundaries of the forever expanding universes and possibilities. It was always Jayce.
Always him.
