    Summary

    I'd be the choiceless hope in grief
    That drove him underground
    I'd be the dreadful need in the devotee
    That made him turn around

     

    This life wasn't so bad. Jayce was doing what he loved, fixing his city, making everything better for everyone. He did not know something was missing until one day he met Viktor, an up and coming artist from Zaun. This man had consumed him from the moment he saw him. Viktor tried to keep him at arms length, afraid to let someone in. But he was like a moth to a flame when it came to Jayce. Slowly they become closer, breaking down each others wall while conflict boils underneath them. It festers and festers until one day Viktor is taken from Jayce.

    In his grief he tries to find Viktor again. He searches beyond the mortal world for his love. When he finds him though he is given only one instruction. Do not turn around. As the two travel back Jayce is tested time and time again. The need to see him, know he is there is so strong Jayce is sure he'd burn from it. Will he turn around?

    Summary

    Viktor was only a child when Zaun was divided into twelve districts after the revolution was lost. Ten years later, when his name was called at the Reaping, he wished for nothing more than a swift and merciful death. But fate had a different plan for him. The butterfly effect cannot be reversed.

    Summary

    It finally happened.

    It turns out, no matter what he told his poor Ma over the phone, Jayce could not, in fact, live off of his student loan forever.

    -

    Jayce gets a job at a local coffee shop to put himself through his post-grad and makes friends with the (admittedly very attractive) supervisor that everyone else hates.

    Summary

    - and a little further on from the ruins – Viktor, haloed in the dawn light, still wrapped up in that godforsaken blanket. Jayce moves forwards on instinct, like a magnet, like he were the arrow of a compass and Viktor was his north. It would be unfathomable to do anything else but go to him. He is human again. Mostly.

    -

    Viktor fixes everything - well, he tries his very best to, at least.
