    Summary

    Viktor barely just managed to set his glass down, passing his flinch as a tremor of the hands. Jayce did not mean the words in any way but friendly jest, perhaps even concern—Viktor was hardly the paragon of health; and there was surely talk of his nonexistent prospects. Besides, Jayce did not know any ill-will could be involved in such an innocuous sentiment.

    The worst of his cruelty, after all, was unintentional.

    “I have no constitution for marriage,” Viktor said, swallowing the bile.

    [Or: After unwittingly becoming a scapegoat of an elaborate plan of Piltover’s higher echelons to eschew observing their own strict laws, Viktor finds himself caught at the heart of a scandal and arrested overnight. Jayce, raised to heed the very values which condemned him, is forced to either take the leap or stand idle and watch his life fall apart. A Maurice and Giovanni's Room inspired AU.]

    Summary

    Honestly, Jayce had thought his relationship with his estranged ex-partner couldn't get any worse. He'd watched it crash, burn, and die himself. Hell, he'd pulled the trigger. But of course Viktor would just have to prove him wrong, returning on the eve of his greatest scientific achievement to date. And, goddamn, it does not go how he'd expected. In the bad direction.

    As he moves up in the world in the aftermath, hailed as both Piltover’s heroic defender and unmatched genius in the field of hextech (when he only ever wanted to be ONE of those things), he’s hounded by his new/old archnemesis and, even worse, celebrity status. Scarier yet, things with Viktor are still . . . complicated. Just because he can’t seem to bring himself to kill him doesn’t mean there’s any chance they’d ever come back together. Surely not out of necessity after Jayce does something stupid. Right?

    Summary

    “… incinerated my prototypes,” he is saying as Viktor watches him; half-conversational, half-explanatory. “A few times, actually, by now. It’s like cat and mouse: I make them, they incinerate them … I don’t think they ever realised I had any other crystals or they’d definitely incinerate those, too.”

    “Bastards,” Viktor says, seriously.

    Jayce grins up at him again. “Yeah,” he says, “bastards. The whole lot.”

    They look at each other oddly, both blinking. Then Jayce grins again, as though he is in on some sort of great joke that only the two of them are privy to. For the first time in a very long time, Viktor feels very aware of his mask standing between the world an his face. 

    Perhaps the cooling system is clogged again. He feels oddly warm.

    Or: Zaunite shut-in Viktor hides in his lab and behind his mask, until a tipsy Academy drop-out stumbles into his life on a reckless gander into the Undercity. Something blooms.
