Summary
NOTE: This fic is for the DAY 4 - DARK FANTASY prompt. Posted early to avoid clashing with League Anniversary events!
Jayce loves Viktor, with every fibre of his undead, dormant heart.
Brittle and dying, with everything in him. But Viktor doesn't know, can't ever know. For what lies behind those hazel eyes he has grown so fond of, is horror beyond measure.
Jayce Talis isn't truly in his twenties - hasn't been for over hundred years.
Death walks with him in every breath Jayce has to fake in order to seem normal to humans.
He never planned to fall in love. Never wanted to turn a living soul. Yet, here they are countless decades later, at the end of the world: two doomed souls yet remaining.
Vampire-love isn't easy, just as dying and being reborn will take its toll.
Living in death together doesn't come natural to them, yet their souls are so desperately interwoven, so attuned to each other, that nothing could ever separate them.
That is until one day something disrupts their eternal routine, deep down below the crumbling city of Edinburgh.
Will it tear them apart, or will they find a way to face this challenge as well, once again, as partners?
