“Yusuf, I have loved you for over a century but if you even attempt to sell me on the concept of platonic fingering I will walk away from you now and never look back.”
In the earliest days of their immortal quintet, Yusuf and Nicolò start a bet neither of them can win.
Inspired by the recent mini-comic 'When There Were Five'. -

Summary
Andy aches now. A soreness that lingers.
Tiny muscle aches and wayward cramps that are nothing, barely even a sensation, the kind of thing that her mind hadn’t even bothered to register for millennia. Only they don’t go away, anymore. It would be better if they built to something. If it was anything but the steady constancy of a subtle ache that wears at her nerves the way a trickle of water can carve deep grooves in a stone, given enough time. Andy had become accustomed to being stronger than stone, but perhaps she was always made of the same stuff.
And it’s only now that she’s finally lived to witness her own erosion.

Summary
Five years ago, Jayce made an impulsive offer to build Hextech weapons to combat the rising tide of Undercity airship piracy. In response, Viktor torched their research and disappeared from Piltover for good.
Five years ago, a new airship took to the skies, with a young captain and a misfit crew and a massive, impossible tree growing straight through the hull.
These two events are completely unrelated - unless, of course, they're not.
Jayce steps into Viktor's space. His fist closes in the lapel of Viktor's overcoat. It's a little foolish, but he half-expects this whole thing to be some kind of hallucination. Something at the back of his brain imagines his hand will pass through Viktor like mist. It doesn't, and that, more than anything, makes this feel like more than a hypervivid variation on the same dream Jayce has been having for years now.
In his dreams, Viktor always has the clammy chill of a cadaver. This Viktor feels so warm under Jayce's hand, he thinks his skin might come away scalded.Bookmarked by theoxfordcommando

Summary
Yusuf turned around—and immediately realised his mistake. They were both standing, eyes open, and if for one moment they were wide in shock and horror, the next they were blown great with lust. Looking at Nicolò was as looking at a distant mirage; every inch of his skin, covered and not, burned as steel under a hot summer sun, and the only thing that would cool him would be to dip into Nicolò’s waters, to drink him dry, to steal his lost breath from his mouth.
-
Yusuf and Nicolò's tentative truce is put at risk when they end up trapped in a cave together.

Summary
“Nile,” Joe says, the third time she asks about where they’re going and why they’re going so slowly. “I don’t blame you for the fact that your world is extremely fast-paced, but that is a product of a very recent period of time, and neither natural nor healthy.”

Or: the peculiar clash of immortality and time.
