    Summary

    Maekar’s face was mottled with purple bruising, a deep cut brushing across the bridge of his nose. His skin was sallow and pale, and his hair limp. Up this close, Valarr could see the pitted pox marks hidden behind the silver beard, heavy lines etched in his uncle’s skin from years of strain caused by war, the loss of his wife and his misbehaving children. The lines were deeper now than they were before the trial, before he had swung his mace through his father’s skull.

    Ugly. Was the cruel thought that came to mind. Maekar was not handsome like his father. Was not anything like his father.

    Baelor Targaryen lays close to death in Ashford Castle three days after the Trial of Seven, and Valarr hates his uncle almost as much as he hates himself.

    Summary

    He’d hoped to develop a prototype and build off of it to something greater, something as accessible as the lightbulb, but those dreams have been unceremoniously punctured and are beginning to deflate.

    Jayce purses his lips and crawls up to standing, wiping a hand down his weary face and heading into his study.

    I sincerely hope my next letter home will bear better news, mother, but for now I dare say I have a rival.
    His name is Viktor, I hear.

    Racing to patent his invention first, Jayce gets tangled up in the ire he holds towards a new colleague.

    Summary

    The anomaly spits Jayce out years in the past, with all the knowledge of exactly how he'll ruin the future. He tries to explain how important getting back to his own time is to Viktor; a younger Viktor who can still convince both of them that there is always a new choice to be made.

    Unfortunately for them both, Jayce is touch-starved and crumbling, and the rune embedded in his wrist does more than just time travel.

    (Saw Jayce wearing clothes that didn't touch the rune and thought 'that should be an erogenous zone')

    Summary

    “It would make more sense.” He had reasoned with a calmness that masked his erratic heart as Jayce’s warm hands effortlessly wrapped around the circumference of his thigh. Measuring. “You can take what you need, and I can better understand your work.”
    -
    Or: Viktor asks to join Jayce in the forge to better understand his work, and for his own ulterior motives.

    Summary

    A recording of 'Love was the Law' by ruinthatboy

    “This is wrong,” Jayce rasped, his voice strained with torment, so unlike the Jayce that had left mere hours ago to dance and drink and make merry and maybe even make love to the beautiful Mel Medarda. “This is too far back, I shouldn’t be here—”

    This Jayce was like a wild animal, bearded and shaggy, furious and heartbroken.

    The huge weapon thudded to the floor once again, and Viktor finally dared to speak.

    “Jayce, is that… you?”

    Stewing in his loneliness, research assistant Viktor witnesses an Anomaly take place in the laboratory he shares with Jayce Talis, potentially altering life as they know it (or might never come to know).
