    “What brought you back here, Jayce?”

    “You really believe it’s me?” He couldn’t keep the hope out of his voice, like this arrangement was now permanent.

He ends up in the academy and runs into Viktor, who is just three years into their tenure working together. Who could blame him for breaking down?

    Summary

    A gasp discovers Viktor’s lungs, and there is music here in this space between spaces, in this form between forms. A single violin is playing frantically, struggling to take flight. Beneath it, a piano is keeping time, urging the violin it to spread its wings. To soar. To see.

    Visions flash before Viktor's eyes of what could have been.

    Of what is, elsewhere.

    The beautiful. The damned.

    And what remains.

    Or, Jayce shows Viktor more than simply their doomed outcome. Viktor gets dumped into a number of possible timelines. An alternate ending to Arcane Season 2, Episode 9.

    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    yeah yeah yeah yeah. insane stream-of-consciousness quick witted prose in the exact newt flavor i crave. sharp as all get out but also a sort of voice-to-text style informality that flows so impressively. nice
