    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

    “No,” Viktor’s grin is again obvious in his words, “go back to the nicknames, Defender. You seem to like them so much.”

    The Defender of Tomorrow lifts his hammer, palm practiced against its lithe stem.

    Viktor continues, again pressing into his space like he can goad his partner into a fist fight, “Vik. V. What’s next? Darling? Dearest?”

    Jayce’s grin is a thing of legend. Practiced to perfection. A weapon of its own design, made up of sharp curves and blunt blades, slicing his Defender’s face into a beautiful lethality. The arc of the hammer holds nothing in comparison to the mold of his smile. “You’d like that, wouldn’t you, sweetheart?”

    OR. viktor is having dreams of doomed timelines. jayce is dreaming of having viktor in any way.

    Summary

    "So this whole roommate thing. I just wanted to ask, like… what are you looking for? Should I totally leave you alone?” (God, please say no.) “Should we just be, like, cordial coworkers?” (Please, please, please say no.) “Or do you want to be more like… friends?”

    Viktor snorted. It was a sound Jayce was starting to crave. His heart squeezed.

    “Yes, Jayce.” Viktor stood, leaning on his cane. “I think we should be friends."

     

    (or: the one where jayce can't figure out why he cares so much about the guys his new roommate brings home... and doesn't realize he's fallen in love until he's completely and totally fucked.)

    Summary

    “Father Viktor has brought back all those programs you whined about missing. The East Hall is being converted into a soup kitchen as we speak, and after Mass there’s going to be an open-doors Christmas meal,” his mother says wistfully, drinking in a sip from her mug.

    Jayce is going to have to see that for himself. His high income neighborhood and the prestigious, self-righteous families that attend the Church? Rubbing elbows with people in need for the holidays?

    Maybe he really does need to meet Father Viktor. And shake his hand.

    ─── ⋆⋅ ♰ ⋅⋆ ───

    Or: Jayce comes home for the holidays after a breakup to find a new priest at his childhood Catholic church. Father Viktor is not the kind of person Jayce ever expected to be a priest, but he has a dream to change Jayce's hometown for the better, and he decides to do everything he can to help. The more he helps, the more Jayce sees glimpses of Viktor, the man, not the priest. And the more glimpses he sees of Viktor, the more Jayce is so, so fucked.
