Summary
A sequel to isolation.
Jayce gets Viktor out of Piltover, and nothing is as easy as it should be.
“I feel as if I’m not quite myself,” Viktor says.
Jayce is quiet, and the silence stretches between them. When Jayce finally speaks, he says, “I don’t feel like myself either.”
Viktor meets his eyes. It’s a marvel, he thinks, that even when he is most lost to his own mind, Jayce can still follow.

Summary
Ever since Jayce crossed paths with Evolutionary's bassist Viktor, he’s been relentlessly pining—haunted by sharp amber eyes, inked skin, and a sly smirk that lives rent-free in his head.
But fate, or maybe some mischievous cosmic force, throws them back together when his band, The Forge, is chosen to collaborate on a sultry, raw, and devastatingly emotional track.
Thrown into late-night studio sessions, tangled melodies, and lyrics dripping with vulnerability, Jayce finds himself toeing the line between professional and utterly distracted.
Because Viktor isn’t just talented—he’s devastating. And it’s only a matter of time before the tension snaps.
OR
The Jayvik Smutfic that apparently EVERYONE on Twitter asked for.

Summary
Rationally, Jayce is aware that Viktor provokes fights purely for his own enjoyment at least half the time. Not even someone as dead-set on being a bastard can realistically find enough reasons to start an argument as frequently as Viktor does. Rationally, Jayce is aware that he only gives Viktor what he wants when he responds to the provocation with anything other than pure indifference.
It’s real fucking difficult to stay indifferent when Viktor starts talking, though, and the urge to rip him apart is so physically overpowering, Jayce really has no other choice than to at least scream at him a little bit.
Or: Viktor pushes, and Jayce has no other choice than to push back, because his ego has always been fragile like that.

Summary
“Lift your head.”
The command comes after long, torturous seconds of silence. Is this it? Is the king gonna slice his damn head off for babbling through his introduction?
Jayce lifts his head, fighting a shiver as a bead of sweat slides down his spine.
And his mouth just—drops open.
The King is divine.

Jayce, an alpha from a small island, is chosen as a marriage candidate for His Royal Highness Viktor, First of his name.

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 was going to die. Right here, in this lab, from sheer secondhand embarrassment and utter confusion.
Sky thought they were together. She wasn’t the only one. And instead of correcting her, Viktor had— what, silently agreed?
A single kiss was one thing. Dating was quite another.
“I, uh,” Jayce started, but he had no idea where he was going with it. “Thanks?”
The rise at the end of his tone made it sound like a question. Though, truly, what the hell else was he supposed to say? No, Sky, don’t feel bad, you’re not silly, because actually, we’re not together, despite the fact that apparently the entire city thinks otherwise? That wouldn’t make things awkward at all.
Sky beamed, clearly relieved. “Oh, good! I was worried for a second there. But really, I think it’s great. You two just… fit, you know?”
Jayce did not, in fact, know.
OR: Viktor kisses Jayce instead of telling Sky he isn't interested like a normal person. Cue the gossip mill, and Jayce and Viktor pretend to be in a relationship until it dies down.
For purely practical reasons, of course.

Summary
“I saw you,” Sevika says, leaning forward. With the table between them there's still space, but Viktor feels every inch and it’s paltry presence. “You wanted him. Maybe not consciously, but there’s a part of you that still wants him. You’re bonded.”
“So?” It’s Viktor’s turn to slam his palm on the table. The wood cracks beneath it; across the bar, Vander looks up from his table, Silco beside him. “It doesn’t matter, he’s still a traitorous idiot. He still fucked with my head.” He jabs a finger against his temple hard enough to hurt. “If he’s up here, Sevika, it’s because he forced it. Biology is irrelevant, he’ll never be my mate.”
---
With Piltover and Noxus at war, both sides know securing Zaun is integral to coming out on top. Viktor becomes an integral figure in deciding how the war will end. Jayce hopes to convince him to fight on Piltovers side - if he can get Viktor to talk to him.

Summary
But Jayce doesn’t seem the type to want Viktor’s ire. Something about his expression, so open until now, is guarded — wounded. Viktor squares himself and makes a bold guess.
“You want to be good for me, then?”
The energy between them snaps taught as piano wire. Jayce looks at Viktor with open wonder, his mouth falling open. It’s as if he’s been seen for the first time, though now that he’s said it Viktor finds the idea laughably obvious. A man who sought out someone whose life he could improve doesn’t do that for nothing. Viktor is so relieved to find something self-serving under Jayce’s idealism.
“I would,” Jayce says, his voice a strained whisper.

Jayce, a wealthy werewolf from Piltover, hires vampire sex worker Viktor to get him through his rut. Together, they come to a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Summary
The arrangement was simple: once a week, Father Jayce offered his blood, and in return, Silco kept his coven far from the townsfolk. No unnecessary deaths. No war. Simple, albeit morally questionable.
But when a shift in leadership topples that fragile truce, Jayce finds himself at the mercy of Viktor—the new and dangerously captivating leader of the Zaun Coven.
Jayce now has two choices. Kill him now and ignite a war that will leave thousands dead, or let this enigmatic vampire sink his fangs into his arcane-rich blood and pray it doesn't doom them all.
The choice is easy...until it's not.

Summary
“Is it so wrong?” Silco smiled, a rotten, wicked thing and Jayce knew the moment he saw those crooked, yellowed teeth that he had lost. No desperate man smiled like that, like death, like he’d known he could only ever win this fight. “For a father to want to be reunited with his son?”
Across the table, Viktor coughed up blood. And then everything went to shit.
In which Jayce didn't negotiate with Silco on the bridge but invited him to a council meeting instead. Somehow, this makes things worse.

Summary
“I do not recall telling you my name.” Viktor stated matter-of-factly. “Yet you know it. Have we met?” Yes. Many times. Practically lived together inside their lab, but he couldn’t tell Viktor that. No, this Viktor had no idea who Jayce really was, and he intended on keeping it that way.
Jayce stumbled on his own thoughts trying to find an answer. Shit. Viktor is right, he wasn’t supposed to tell Jayce his name until later in his apartment. Damn it. “Uh—“ he stalled as he tried to think of a lie. “H-Heimerdinger had mentioned you once. You’re his assistant, right? Snarky Undercity kid with an accent? Not many other people here who fit that description.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the Hexcore collapsed, Jayce gets sent back to where it all started, the day he met Viktor, but Viktor seems to have no recollection of him. What happens when Jayce gets another chance, knowing what he knows now.
My take on Season 2 Jayce with Season 1 Viktor until Viktor eventually remembers everything and they live happily ever after because I refuse to give these two any more sad endings!
No idea how many chapters this will have, we're just gonna roll with it until the dopamine stops.

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
In this sequel to "After the Line’s Been Crossed", Jayce and Viktor return to Piltover—unwanted and forever changed. Jayce, fractured by his time in the alternate world, fights to contain the violent instincts and haunting visions that blur his grip on reality. Meanwhile, a shadow-cloaked mage has grown tired of waiting for Viktor’s cooperation—she won’t let his unnatural and powerful connection to magic slip through her fingers any longer.
Jayce convinces himself that love is a ruinous thing in his hands, that if he let it touch Viktor, it would leave only scars. But yearning desire does not wait for safe harbors, and in the storm of their return, it crashes through them like a tempest.
