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.

Summary
The sanatorium itself looks eerily, spine-chillingly as Viktor had pictured it: a spacious, low building swathed in gauzy light, with white curtains billowing inside the identical, sand-toned corridors, animated by the unrelenting warm wind.
And for a moment, as Viktor stares down the corridor, he has the terrifying feeling of conviction that he is still dreaming. That the dream he’s been having has wound itself back in its recursive loop all the way to the starting point, alerting him at last to the falsity of his supposed reality. Everything strikes him as suddenly improbable: the ceremonial send-off, the miracle-ticket, the flight riddled with stolen affection. Air thickens inside his breast like something too viscous to breathe, and he feels dizzy and paralysed by halves.
Jayce’s hand lands on the small of his back.
[Or: Jayce and Viktor embark on a treacherous journey to Shurima to pursue an experimental treatment for Viktor.]

Summary
Long gone are the glittering gilded galas of Piltover as Jayce and Viktor trade in their ivory tailored suits for a night drenched in rain and debauchery.
Golden hues dissolve into neon puddles and clouds of glimmering pink smoke as the night sings itself electric through the melody of two hearts serenading each other from two opposite ends of the stage.OR
Jayce and Viktor head out to a drag show down in the undercity after a long day of work.

Summary
“Hold on,” Jayce says, suddenly letting go of Viktor and hurrying away.
He returns a moment later and places a ring on the table in front of Viktor. It is simple, gold, with their initials engraved inside of it in Jayce’s precise hand. Viktor studies it for a long time, letting it grow warm in his palm.
“We don’t have to,” Viktor finally says.
“V, I’ve wanted to for…for ages. I just…it was never the right time,” Jayce replies.
“And this is?”
“Traditionally, yes.”Jayce and Viktor await their first child. A familiar face appears. There is a snow storm. Viktor wonders if he can ever go home. Post-canon, set in a world where Piltover never existed.

Summary
Their most recent experiment in the lab is marked as successful, but Jayce hadn’t felt the same since. Slowly he is pushed down, and something else takes control. He should count himself lucky Viktor is as sharp as he is.
