Summary
The elevator suddenly jerks hard.
Will stumbles.
Mike instantly grabs his arm.
Everything goes dark. Then the emergency lights flicker on. It's a dim glow barely illuminating the small space between them.
Will finally realizes Mike's hand is on his arm.
“Don't touch me.” Will wrenches his arm back with a sharp, disgusted motion.
Mike pulls his hand away as if burned, loathing the sudden, sharp ache of hurt in his chest.

Summary
“Say, Jayce, would you… would you ever want one, one day?”
Jayce blinks. “‘Want one’ what?”
Viktor clicks his tongue, but his ears go red at the same time. “You know what I mean.”
“I-“ Jayce wracks his brain. Did he miss something in the conversation? He doesn’t think he did. “No, Viktor, I’m sorry, I don’t know what you mean. Explain it to me, please?”
Viktor’s gaze drops back down to his cousin, and as he strokes the infant’s chubby cheek, something clicks in Jayce’s head.
“Oh,” he murmurs, blood rushing back to his face as he finally understands. “Um. Uh.”
---
Viktor meets Jayce's baby cousin and asks him- Jayce, not his cousin- an important question.

Summary
Viktor returns to Piltover after a difficult divorce, trying to rebuild a normal life with his daughter. He doesn’t expect much; just a little peace for once. What he doesn’t expect is for his daughter’s new best friend to have the eyes of him. Jayce Talis. The boy he loved, the man he left, the name he never stopped whispering in the dark.
Now they're neighbors. Co-parents. Colleagues.
The past isn’t just resurfacing – it’s playing tag in his living room and calling him Mr. Viktor.

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.

Summary
Heimerdinger sighed. “How rude, Poro. Viktor is a guest.” He pushed himself to standing. “Don’t take the hiss too seriously. It’s just bluster. Just give him a little time and he’ll be all purrs and cuddles.”
Viktor wasn’t going to hold his breath for that. He’d slip the food dish under the bed if he had to. Just so long as the cat ate, drank, used the litter box, and stayed out of trouble, they didn’t have to be friends.
Viktor's tasked with petsitting while his boss is away at a conference. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Jayce closes his eyes, leaning into the touch. His hands are still shaking, and he thinks his legs have started to tremble, too. He doesn’t really feel like talking about it, but Viktor’s presence is soothing. Warm. Jayce shrugs, swallows loudly around the lump in his throat. “I’m tired,” he whispers.
or,
Jayce hasn't slept in over a day, and it's starting to catch up to him. Luckily, Viktor is there to help.

Summary
“So... you’re a transfer student?” Jayce ventures, trying to fill the silence.
Viktor shakes his head. “Exchange student. From The Czech Republic. I was in a dorm, but the elevator is broken more than it works. Housing made arrangements.” He sets his suitcase down and adjusts his cane, his movements precise but clearly strained.
“Right,” Jayce says, feeling a flicker of guilt for his earlier irritation. “Well, uh, welcome, I guess. Your room’s down the hall on the left.”
Viktor doesn’t respond, already moving toward the hallway without waiting for further instructions. Jayce watches him disappear into the room, the door clicking shut behind him.
He flops back onto the couch, grabbing his phone to text Caitlyn again:
Jayce: He hates me already.
Caitlyn: Don’t so be dramatic. Give it time. Maybe bake him cookies or something.
Jayce: He doesn’t seem like a cookie guy. More like... brooding and vaguely annoyed at my existence.
Caitlyn: Perfect. You’re great at brooding and vaguely annoying. 😘

The Pulse of the Machine by BringtheKaos

Summary
The Machine Herald is captured by Piltover after a failed attack on the bridge, and he is mortally wounded in the process. Jayce must risk everything to save him and repair the damage done, racing against the clock as Piltover hunts him down for treason, but the history between them complicates things. Despite his claims that his actions are no longer dictated by emotion, Viktor is still harboring anger and hatred for his exile in the wake of Jinx's attack, and blames Jayce for what happened. But despite it all, they still care about each other (in their own violent, traumatized ways) and as time runs out, necessity forces them to face the past—and each other—if they want to get out of this unscathed.

Summary
Jayce blinked once. He blinked again. There was the sun, and clouds, and when Jayce ran his hand over his cheeks, there was barely any stubble.
(Jayce and Viktor find themselves in the past, just a few hours before a group of Undercity kids broke into Jayce's lab and sparked a chain of events that would later end the world. They get a second shot at preventing it, and, maybe, creating something better in its place.)

Summary
Viktor knew it was Giopara from the get-go, despite the disorientation and grogginess upon waking. Firstly, that dolt was the only soul in Piltover or Zaun witless enough to try something so brazen and monumentally stupid. Viktor didn’t need to hear the familiar clack of those steel-toed boots, didn’t need to recognize that pattern of grunts-and-sighs that he’d grown so very accustomed to in their many years as partners. Nor did he need to recognize the size and strength of the hands on him, the way they moved and the way they knew exactly how to handle Viktor’s body; despite the many heavy steel augmentations, they could still navigate Viktor like the pages of a beloved book.

Summary
She burned Viktor’s name. No one else would. He was cursed now. A bad omen. A villain to scare children. If you don’t go play outside every now and then, you’ll end up like the Machine Herald. Don’t go too deep into the Sumps. That’s where the Machine Herald lives, waiting to take your soul and turn you into one of his puppets. That was not the Viktor she knew.
The Viktor she knew had an expressive face. A brilliant mind she had thought of cultivating before Jayce came and they snatched each other from her. She remembered him as he was. The young man who would roll his eyes behind Heimerdinger’s back whenever he mistook a deadline by months. The man who broke every law, pretended to be sneaking Jayce Talis into his bedroom, and changed the world. The man who fought against his death with all he had and who Jayce loved. Like a brother, he’d said. Like something else, she’d thought.Mel mourns. Jayce and Viktor find her again.

Summary
Six years after he and Viktor part ways on antagonistic terms, Jayce wakes up in the Machine Herald’s medical clinic.
Jayce desperately wants to rub at his forehead, but the binding at his wrist stops him. He settles for squeezing his eyes shut. “Why?” he asks.
Viktor is silent for barely a moment. He says, tonelessly, “I assumed this was preferable to dying.”

Summary
“Jayce, I…”
Viktor doesn’t get the chance to finish his thought, because suddenly Jayce’s lips are on his own, and the calculated webbing that is Viktor’s mind goes up in smoke.
The kiss feels like dying. It aches, this shard of humanity that is falling through his fingers. Viktor fumbles to cling to it, to hold it close to his withered chest, to allow it to light something deep within that had started to go out-
Jayce’s hand presses into the small of Viktor’s back. And nothing else seems to matter any more.
