    Summary

    After Viktor gets a job at Piltover University as Heimerdinger’s assistant, he leaves behind everything he knows for a chance, because, for Viktor, a chance is all that really matters.

    So he takes it; the chance of something better, something significant, something real. The chance to escape. He finds aversion, hate disguised as indifference, prejudice with a poker face, but he also finds more. A friend. Multiple of them. And something more than a friend.

    A hope for life beyond the expiration date set by his rotting lungs and a desperate burning to be known.


    “Viktor?” A warm hand was gently shaking his shoulder. He’d fallen asleep on the desk, hunched over his papers. He probably had ink all over his face.

    Viktor groaned and sat up as he tried to shake his arm awake. A weight fell off his shoulders.

    A blanket. Viktor looked between the blanket on the floor and Talis, who shrugged.

    “I didn’t want you to get cold.”

    Featuring something found, something lost, and something found again.

    Also featuring a plethora of scientific inaccuracies (because I'm not a scientist), jayvik with a shitload of angst, and lots of commas.
