Summary
“Haven’t you learned, Defender?” He grabs Jayce’s jaw with cold metal fingers, “There’s no honor in war. Only death.”
Jayce takes in one gasping breath, gathers it, then spits into the Machine Herald’s face.
How’s that for honorable, he adds silently.
—Viktor and Jayce are deadly agents on opposite sides of the war. Amidst their attempts to stay alive and bring victory to their homelands they encounter each other instead.

Summary
Renowned inventor Viktor is forced to offer his feedback on the performance of a new android model, specially ‘donated’ as his new lab assistant. However, Viktor finds the task much less tiresome than anticipated—even as he struggles to come to terms with exactly what it is he’s been given.
Meanwhile, JY-5 (now Jayce) only knows three things. That he must neither harm, nor disobey a Human; that the word ‘must’ is a circumstantial term at best; and that he is not a slave, despite all appearances to the contrary.
Oh. And that he’s in love with Viktor.
But really—what else could he possibly need to know?
---
Or, Android Jayce fights against systemic oppression, a deadly conspiracy, and—most importantly—the injustice of Viktor not taking his feelings seriously.

Summary
“Not to be dramatic, but you scared a couple years off my life.”
“You are very dramatic.” Viktor tilted his head. “But if you ask me whether I am fine again, I will hit you with my cane.”
The words were out of his mouth before he’d even had the chance to process, and he nearly froze, not sure what possessed him to say such a thing. He opened his mouth, ready to do damage control, before—
Jayce barked out a laugh, loud and unrestrained.
“Yeah, well. Sorry for worrying about my partner.” Even through the faint sarcasm of the statement, the words were suffused with such fond, familiar warmth that Viktor felt his breath catch in his chest.
Partner?
Well. That certainly explained the touch. And the warmth in his voice. And the way Viktor leaned toward him instead of away— an innate response. This, at least, made sense now. Viktor had not dared to include this option as one of his preliminary hypotheses.
They were together. Dating. Whatever the most adequate term would be.
OR: Viktor gets amnesia, logically concludes he and Jayce are together, and starts running experiments to confirm it. Jayce is whipped. That's the fic.

Summary
As far as punishments go, rebirthing a once terminally ill man - whose obsession with human perfection drove him to almost end humanity - in a hospital bed in palliative care could be seen as a little on the nose. To make it the same one he woke up in all those months-years-a lifetime ago, especially so. But Viktor can’t help feeling it’s far better than he deserves.
Viktor emerges from the Arcane, alone. He’s not sure he can navigate a world that doesn’t have Jayce Talis in it.

Summary
Even here, in this empty apartment, he can’t show one iota of weakness. As far as Piltover knows, Viktor does not feel pain. In fact he hadn’t felt pain since he left the undercity. It’s a point of pride for him, something he maintains obsessively.
Until it follows him to his own bed, at which point he has to acknowledge the inverse: that the existence of pain is a point of shame.
Viktor forces himself to go to work during a flare-up, and the immovable object of his stubbornness meets the unstoppable force of Jayce’s desire to care for him.
