Summary
When they wake, they wake softly. They are somewhere different, new sky, different air, softer earth. It is too kind, for him at least, not Jayce who deserves this gentle world. Jayce, who clings to him as soon as they wake, sobbing and peppering his face with longed for kisses, who was so happy they were together, who loved him enough to die with him, even if they are miraculously alive now.
Viktor is happy they are together too. It is simply everything else which steals his voice. He was moments away from killing everyone, destroying the world, and ending Jayce. It is the Jayce part that bothers him the most because that is simply unfathomable. If he had a choice, he would choose Jayce over everyone else and he thinks that’s why his mage counterpart was trying to fix things. Viktor has always suspected that he is a selfish man in his deepest heart of hearts. It should bother him more. It does not, not after all his other flaws were put on stark display in the worst way possible for all to see.
The past haunts both Viktor and Jayce as they try to heal. Viktor can't help but think Jayce might be happier if he left, but can't say it.

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.
