Summary
It’s not that Viktor sneezes, it’s how he does it. And Jayce, to his huge surprise, must admit it’s unexpectedly endearing. So he stares.
“Sorry,” Viktor reaches out for a tissue. “It’s the dust. From the thingy.”
His words bring Jayce back. He blinks and shakes his head, mumbling a quick bless you to which Viktor mumbles a quick thank you, force of habit speaking for them both. It’s all about good manners and expected response.
What is not expected, though, is that Jayce can’t focus on his notes for the rest of the evening.Bookmarked by papicorn

Summary
Half a decade after Viktor leaves Piltover for good, a fragment of Hexcore permanently adhered to his soul, an old friend comes to him for help. This wouldn't be an issue, if the same old friend hadn't spent the last five years trying to hit him, very hard, with a really big hammer.
“You’re not real,” Viktor repeated, closing his eyes. Even with the knowledge that this was a dream, the gentle touch unraveled him. There was an impact crater where his heart should be.
The calloused pad of Jayce's thumb found the corner of Viktor’s mouth. “All right. I’ll bite – what’s your evidence for this hypothesis?”
Viktor smiled into the touch, felt it tug against Jayce's thumbprint. “Isn’t it obvious? You haven’t tried to kill me yet.”- Language:

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
FINAL ACT SPOILERS
'...Viago stood, suddenly and angrily, before he stormed to the window. He was restless. His eyes darted around the room, out across the rooftops, waiting for a quick figure with a mess of curls to bolt past in the darkness. “How do we find her? I will go. She is a de Riva, she will not be left behind.” He spat the word, “Idiota. How could this happen? My–” My sister. My Ivy. My uccellino...'
If Viago is insufferable when Rook is away, how would he be when he knows she's been lost?

Summary
“Cause you could take her flying. Girls love flying.”
He shut down the thought before it could spark something dangerous, erecting barricades. “You love flying,” he corrected. “It’s part of your thing about dragons.”
Louder than before, battering through the tenuous barricade, Spite’s delight seeped through him. Want to! Fly like a dragon! With Rook!

Me after that party banter: So that's a scene, right? RIGHT???
Fine, I'll do it myself.

Maybe hiring a known pirate wasn't the best idea she'd ever had. He asserted that he had his standards, but she hadn't found where he'd hidden those just yet. What did it matter though? It was just business after all. Wasn't it?

Summary
When Killjoy glances over, it’s to the sight of Cypher leaning back in his chair to look up at Omen, one arm resting on the backrest as he flips a tripwire between his fingers, saying something. Though the mask obscures his face, Killjoy can tell that he's smiling.
Omen’s response is to tug at his hood, the jagged slashes on his face flickering and dimming slightly. Despite his lack of expressive facial features, he somehow manages to look startled when Cypher reaches forward to tap one gloved finger over the blue center of his chestplate. Yet he doesn’t push Cypher's hand away. Instead he simply catches him by the wrist, holding him there, and inclines his head in a way that seems almost like a challenge even from this distance, even though she has no idea what they're talking about.
Oh, Killjoy realizes, having pulled up to a very shocking conclusion.
That’s what this is.
Oh.
It is by an ironic twist of fate that the only person in the entire protocol that doesn’t realize Omen is flirting with Cypher is, in fact, Cypher himself.

Summary
This story begins with a nobody.
Seemingly worthless and desperately afraid, a woman finds herself held prisoner by the Thalmor. Her only hope of escape - to trust a swordsman with a past that might be even darker than her own.
The two of them fall headlong into a destiny that will shape, or possibly shatter, the entire world. Sometimes the bravest and kindest people are compassionate not because they're virtuous, but because they've experienced the cruelty of Man and Mer at their worst. With that experience, a mark is left, a need to protect whatever good is left in the world, a need to make sure no one else suffers as they did, a need to destroy anything that might threaten the people they love.
Friends are made. Battles are fought. Dragons, Divines, and Daedra dog every step. The right choices are not always clear as they try to overcome the scars of their pasts, the guilt and regrets that everyone carries, the wolves that hunt us all.

Summary
“First, I want you to ask me how stressful it is to love Commander Shepard.”
“Uh. How stressful?”
“I am painfully aware of every time you charge, use melee biotics, or are otherwise standing directly in the line of fire,” he said flatly. She laughed a little.
“That’s like… all the time,” she pointed out. He stared at her and she- “Oh.”

Nick and Nora bump into another of the wasteland's lovely pre-War booby traps, this time in the form of an experimental psycho-like drug. Nick is immune. Nora isn't. And a whole bundle of trauma, both pre- and post-war, comes home to roost.
It's not all horror, though. There's always hope. And love.

Summary
I brought a dead princess back to life through the power of song is the kind of thing that would have got an eyebrow raise even from the stone-faced Geralt of Rivia, so it's a good thing he and Geralt will probably never see each other again.
(or: the one where Jaskier channels magic through his songs, and it almost never goes as expected.)
