Summary
“Are you… real?”
Jayce smiles for the first time in recent memory. “I could ask the same thing.”
“You’re supposed to be dead," Viktor tells him.
“Funny,” Jayce says. “We have a way of doing that, don’t we? Not dying.”
Jayce finds himself in a world much like his own, but with the familiar pieces rearranged. All he cares about is Viktor.
or, Jayce and Viktor make it out of the war alive. For Jayce, it was yesterday. For Viktor, it was three years ago.

Summary
Jayce and Viktor graduate at the same time, destined for greatness. Though, nowadays Viktor lectures to indifferent heirs, nights lost to ink-stained drudgery of grading papers. All the while Jayce spends his time at his family workshop, chasing contracts that barely cover the rent in a desperate attempt to get out of the obscurity of his station. Could be worse... Could be better.
There's no explosion, no trial, no big break. The Man of Progress… will simply have to wait. AU - Canon Divergence
Their first apartment is cramped. Dusty. Cheap, but still over their budget. On the ground floor - for Viktor - in a rickety building in the old part of town. The floorboards creak with every step, and the windows are so rotted the draft is a permanent feature.
Jayce loves it.- Language:

Summary
(Updates on Thursdays)
Two years after receiving a terminal diagnosis, Dr. Viktor Reveck is faced with a new opportunity. Jayce Talis, spokesperson for Talis Industries, and former classmate of 10 years ago, wants to bring him on board to develop a lightning generator that he swears will change the world. But Viktor left any dreams of inventing on the hospital floor. Even moreso, dreams of love. Neither of them expected to catch feelings, especially with their complicated history.
Their journey to new scientific heights is interrupted by the cutthroat world of business. Turns out trying to start something new – both romantic and otherwise – without establishing a solid foundation is a recipe for disaster.
Can you still love someone after they betray you?
Is it worth loving someone as you fade away?

Summary
No story that starts with an overpass and a bottle of vodka ends well.
Here’s how it goes: boy is lonely. Alcohol and overpass cliche. Boy meets boy. Boy loves boy. Boy does not say a word about it. Happy montage. Slice of life montage. Sad montage. Boy and boy grow further apart. Boy leaves boy. Boy does not get over it. Alcohol and overpass cliche returneth. Boy is lonely.
Sisyphean indeed.
:::
Disillusioned, depressed and drunk, Viktor forgoes throwing himself off an overpass and takes the only marginally better route of texting his long-estranged best friend instead.
Or: Jayce turns up on Viktor’s doorstep after five years.

Life as a hero didn’t come easy to Jayce, but the fire in his chest did. It had burned bright, an inferno like the sun, constant and unrelenting, ever since the day he’d nearly lost his mother to a blizzard’s icy winds.
Jayce would do anything to protect the ones he loved, and the Herald had it coming if he thought Jayce would let him get away without a fight. Affection may have held them together, but one of them was destined to get burned.

The Flowers We Left Behind by Arcantor

Summary
As orphans growing up in the underbelly of Piltover, Jayce and Viktor forge an unbreakable bond that becomes their anchor in a harsh world. But when Jayce is adopted by the wealthy and powerful Kiramman family, the two are forced to part ways, leaving behind dreams of a shared future. Years later, a chance reunion in an unassuming flower shop forces them to confront the promises they made and the feelings they left unspoken.
Viktor turned to face him, something small clutched in his hand. His expression was a mix of sadness and resolve as he crossed the space between them, holding the object out to Jayce.
It was the first model of the little boat they’d built together, the one they’d spent hours chasing along the stream before upgrading for a newer one. Viktor had repaired it after their last outing with the toy, the motor polished and gleaming. Jayce stared at it, his chest tightening.
“For you,” Viktor said simply, his voice quiet. “So you don’t forget.”
Jayce took the boat gingerly, his fingers brushing against the worn wood. He blinked quickly, willing the sting of tears in his eyes to go away. “I could never forget you, Viktor.”

Summary
Every instinct in Jayce's body told him to run. To get out of the house, go to the car, drive to his mother’s or the Kirammans’ or perhaps even the police station.
Instead, he simply sat in place, staring ahead and panting heavily as the room slowly warmed again.
Jayce was convinced. Caitlyn, though joking, had been right.---
