Summary
Jayce grinned but all the comedy and affection was gone. His hands tightened around Viktor's waist. “But I found your mare, and I almost envied her lost rider, figurin’ him dead. And then I found you, and I realized what a fucking sign it was.”
Viktor caught his breath. There must have been some mistake, some mixed up sense of mysticism. A line of coincidences for a man at the end of his rope literally and figuratively did not necessarily mean it was an all encompassing sign. Viktor's heart broke that Jayce's hope, the thing that had pulled him from the edge, was nothing but a murderer chased to the ends of the earth.
“Jayce…” Viktor sighed, lifting a hand to caress Jayce's cheek. The hairs of his beard parted with a roughness that was unusual.
Jayce grabbed hold of Viktor's hand, squeezing with the strength of a dying man. “Don't try to break my heart to absolve yourself of some guilt over the mistakes you've made. ‘Cause I don't want you perfect. I want you as you are, as I know you.”

Summary
Four years have passed since Viktor left for Demacia to receive the life-saving surgery he desperately needed, and now he's finally coming home. He knew that leaving would mean change, but even after having all this time to prepare, he doesn't know if he'll be able to acclimate himself to everything that's different -- most importantly, how his relationship with Jayce is different.

Summary
Jayce and Viktor are two promising young scientists hoping to make a difference with their work on Pandora. With tensions high after a violent conflict five years before their arrival, they must learn to navigate the new world under the untrustworthy gaze of the Omatikaya Clan. As they continue their research and work to rebuild what was lost, they find themselves falling in love with the forest, with the people, and... with each other.
The first thing Viktor feels upon waking up is the nausea, sharp and relentless—a gut-twisting ache that churns his insides and refuses to relent. It hits him like the aftermath of a long night of drinking, but heavier, more insidious, the weight of six years frozen in cryosleep compressing his very bones.

Summary
Jayce Talis has had a meteoric rise from B-list TV actor to Oscar nominee, a result of constant work and dedication to his craft. It should be the stepping stone to bigger and better projects.
Yet, when he receives a letter from his old writing partner after seven years of zero contact, he drops everything to fly to New York and work with him again, this time on the stage. New conflicts rise amongst old tensions, but Jayce knows that in the end, making art with Viktor is worth all the heartache. Right?

Summary
It’s been years since Jayce was the Golden Boy of Westworld corporate. Nowadays, it’s rare that anyone sees the reclusive genius programmer. Anyone who isn’t a host, anyway. He has his favorites that he dotes on, of course. Most often the older models – those whose guts are still steel, pistons, and gears. Those who still have reveries buried deep in their code...
Viktor is of course his absolute number one. The host is just a scenery piece; a nerdy small-town scientist often targeted by the rowdier guests. The exact kind of guests that Jayce despises. One day, Viktor improvises in a way that takes Jayce aback. Already infatuated with his creation, Jayce's desire to see the host grow and learn cracks the event horizon wide open – leaving both host and programmer to come apart at the rivets.

Summary
He can imagine it. Jayce coming home with a goofy smile on his face, proudly proclaiming he’s met someone. He would need to leave the cottage of course. There would be no more sharing a bed or even living together if Viktor wanted Jayce to have a real semblance of normality. The cottage would be so empty without him. No one would hold him when he cries, but really that would be fine. He doesn’t deserve it anyways. He deserves to be forgotten here, and maybe he can begin to atone for his past, starting with helping Jayce become happy.
________________________
Feeling guilty about everything that occurred with the Hexcore, Viktor makes it his mission to help Jayce have a new, normal life, starting with helping him find a romantic partner. He didn't anticipate how painful that would be for him though.

Summary
So there they are, a shopkeep and a curious stranger, losing daylight in silence. The man studies Jayce’s work while Jayce studies him, and isn’t curiosity just one hell of a thing? It can motivate a topside scientist to brave the gray, and it can bully out years of ingrained wariness to make room for itself.
The man moves again, the necessary three steps left to reach a workbench of works-in-progress. The metalwork of it is rough, all hinges and mechanisms wrought from steel scrap. The beginning of a knee joint, sitting next to the first prototype of Jayce’s own leg brace.
The man’s gaze lingers there, intent and molten in the dimming afternoon light. Then he’s reaching out, reaching forward, his careful fingers tracing along welding seams and scratches in the metal, and Jayce’s curiosity flash-boils.
“Can I help you?”

Summary
Jayce was an artist once. He was young and lively, wooing patrons with his impressive works and making a name for himself under the alias "Giopara." But that was long ago, back when the world was still his. Five years have passed, he's grown older, life has changed, and he refuses to pick up a brush.
Viktor is a writer -- in theory. In practice, he hasn't written a word of his manuscript in years, and not for lack of trying. He's reached a standstill, or a lull if you will. His character, who he has based off himself, will achieve great things, but will he always live in the shadow of his creation?

Summary
“So, run it by me one more time.”
Vi paced the length of the room with her chin pinched firmly between her fingers. She had been tracing a wide oval on the floor, her boots clanking heavily with every step. They had been over the plan several times already, Viktor lamented soundlessly, but he understood her nerves. Ekko, who was busy spinning himself in one of Viktor’s office chairs, slowed to a stop with an exaggerated groan, dragging the toe of his shoes along Viktor’s floor. “Vi, how many more times are you gonna make us—”
“Until it’s perfect, Ekko.” Vi interrupted brusquely. “Everyone needs to be on the same page about what they’re doing, where they’re supposed to be, and what we’re after. We’re not gonna get another shot at this for months if we fail.”
--
OR: The kids from Zaun have a plan—find whatever Jayce Talis has been working on and steal it. The Progress Day Gala is the perfect opportunity to do so. The only issue? Viktor has to attend to "present" his research to Heimerdinger. He should be in and out quickly—just long enough to get Vi into place and dip. If all goes smoothly, he'll never have to interact with Jayce Talis at all. Simple, right?

Summary
Jayce Talis is a jaded reporter with a sharp tongue, a tape recorder, and an unhealthy fascination with cults.
The case seems simple: a missing girl, a commune deep in the woods, a story waiting to be written.But the leader greets him like he has been waiting for him his whole life. Smiles like he knows him. Watches like he’s remembering something.
And around them, the trees whisper. The dirt breathes.
And the orchard is blooming.

Summary
The ink hadn’t even dried up on Jayce’s PhD diploma when the job offer landed in his inbox. Prestigious, well-funded, and in a country he had never even considered moving to. At the time, it had seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime.
But being there now, staring at a stack of unread emails, most of them marked urgent in varying degrees of exaggeration, Jayce wonders if he’d been a little too eager to say yes.
He came here to innovate, teach, and change the game, but lately, it feels like he spends more time fighting bureaucracy than breaking ground.
And there’s also Viktor.
