Summary
Set one week after Jayce and Viktor meet on that fateful night at Jayce's apartment.
Jayce crouches down to his level, reaching instinctively toward the jagged skin before stopping short.
“You—” he can’t process the idea of it, let alone the reality. “You punched him.”
“Yes.” Viktor flexes his hand. “He deserved it.”
Jayce snorts, helpless. “You’ve got a mean right hook. Since when?”
"Since Zaun."
__
Or: Jayce is fragile, and Viktor is astute; he is also alarmingly good at breaking noses in defense of his new academic associate.

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.

the art of picking up the pieces by obscurelittlebird

Summary
Before he can stop himself, he picks up the phone. Every ring seems to last for eternity. Please, he thinks, be there, pick up, don’t be dead, don’t be gone…
“Viktor?”
His heart jumps. Silco’s voice is muffled, sleep-thick, but oh so achingly familiar. He had not realised until now just how much he missed it.
“You do realise it is 2 o’clock in the morning?”
He tries to speak but no words come out. The guilt, perhaps, has stolen them.
“Has something happened?”
“Papa,” he finally whispers. “Papa. Papa.” And then all of a sudden he is bawling his eyes out, horrible, heaving gasps and sobs torn from his throat, wracking his thin frame, and distantly he is embarrassed, but he cannot seem to make himself stop.
Worn down by the crushing weight of (not actually) unrequited love, workplace disputes, past trauma, and the existential dread that comes with being an overachiever in your twenties, Viktor finally breaks. Papa Silco comes to pick up the pieces.
Returning to his childhood home in Zaun for a long-overdue rest, Viktor must reckon with his past, his future, and the terrifying prospect of allowing himself to be loved and cared for.

Summary
After everything - the Hexgates, the choice to finish things together - they wake in a cottage by the sea.
The world is quiet. The air salt-wet and unfamiliar. The rooms feel lived in, but not by them. They don’t know how they got here. They don’t know why they’re alive.
Viktor is sick. He says it’s nothing. Jayce pretends to believe him.
In the hours between then and now, between silence and survival, something begins to grow.

Post-canon, instead of living in a cottage by a stream, they live in a cottage by the sea.

Summary
Amusement Park AU
Jayce Talis is left with an inheritance from his father, the entirety of the amusement park he works at (League Entertainment), where he's taken the role of a character named Jayce Giopara. Between struggling to find an actor for his 'enemy', the Machine Herald, and a highly-scrutinized hobby, Jayce is also left with some much more sinister things his father had kept buried.

Summary
Viktor knew it was time for a divorce that night. The writing had been on the wall for years, he just didn't want to see it. Jayce would later say he was blindsided by the divorce papers, but honestly, it had been inevitable. At least, that's what their families told them. Never last, they'd said.
Well, they were right. They didn't last. Sometimes bad things take the place where good things go. But the worst thing, the worst thing of all, was he still loved Jayce. And he knew, despite everything, Jayce still loved him. But if there was one thing Viktor had learned in a decade of marriage, it was that sometimes love just wasn't enough. And it wasn't enough anymore.
In the wake of a messy divorce, Viktor and Jayce try to tackle the impossible task of co-parenting with the ex you'd rather never see again. And, eventually, learn to heal and find their way back to each other.

Summary
Here is one that got away and lived to tell the tale, from Karachi Social Club and Griffin Hotel, Wakefield nick and St. Mary’s Hostel, motorways and car parks, parks and toilets, idle rich and unemployed. From shit they sell and shit we buy, from kids with no mums and mums with no kid. From all dead meat and my dead friends, pubs and clubs, from gutters and stars, local tips and old slag heaps. From badgers and owls, wolves, and swans. Here is a son of Yorkshire. Here is one that got away.
After surviving for years in the North, Barry James Anderson tries better luck down South, somewhere where the sun shines brighter and the past won't find him. The sneaky thing about the past as BJ soon will find is that it always goes with you, no matter how light you pack.

Summary
“Is that… you, Viktor?”
It was barely more than a whisper, but he almost couldn’t bring himself to ask in the first place. The question scared him, the coming answer he feared even more. He knew the question was callous and loaded, but he had to know.
Those warm eyes faltered and became reproachful, they averted with a look of guilt, his eyebrows scrunching together. Viktor hugged his good knee tighter to his chest, his short and shallow breathing and his tightened lips betraying the hurt he felt at the question. The creases at the side of his nose deepened in dismay in the way only Viktor's face suited. All of these things told Jayce everything he needed desperately to know; this wasn’t the serene herald, or even the maniacal machine herald.
This was Viktor.

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.

Summary
Detective Talis and forensic investigator Tesla are divorced exes, brought together once again to work on a case 1.5 years after their divorce, and old wounds are opened.

Note 1: This was inspired by the fact that Jayce's VA plays Detective Daniel Espanoza on Lucifer :) And I mixed it with Jayvik divorce era since Dan and Chloe are also divorced lmao
Note 2: Violence tag only added because there are dead bodies and crime scenes described. If that's a TW for you, you'll know that.

Summary
Viktor engages in a nightly ritual in front of the mirror in his bathroom. He pulls out an ever-growing mental checklist of everything he lacks and documents the wrongness of his body.
A face that is too sharp, too skinny. Eyes that pop from his skull, lined with dark bruises. Hideous moles that litter his face, his body, like someone dropped splatters of ink all over him and never bothered to wash them off.
Each imperfection reminds him of wrongly written words on pages, each incorrect word documenting failure. It is a curse; his body is the one thing that controls every part of Viktor’s life, but the one thing Viktor himself cannot control.
Viktor stares at himself in the mirror, cataloguing his failures, and dresses himself. These are the routine acts of violence that he does to himself that allows Viktor, whatever is left of him, to develop over on the other side.
