Summary
“I thought Viktor died believing I didn’t want to help people like him,” he said. “That I didn’t think it was worth the risk. I never forgave myself. I’ll—I’ll do anything. I don’t care what happens to me. I won’t fail him again.”
Following the tragic and sudden death of his partner, unable to cope with his grief, Jayce Talis resorts to the risky and controversial procedure of severance. Splitting the memories of his work life and personal life, he begins working for HexCorp to forget about losing Viktor for eight hours a day. It's working. It’s helping him. It must be.
Until, one day, a random stranger breaks into his garage claiming to know him, saying there is a way to reverse the severance procedure and warning him that not everything about either HexCorp or Viktor’s death is as it seems.

Summary
Viktor, a world-renowned astronomer, and the revolutionary microbiology researcher Jayce Talis are falling in love. But there’s a slight complication:
Jayce pinches the bridge of his nose, and sighs, and pushes through the nerves. “You know how if I think about space, I panic?”
“Yes,” Viktor says, nodding. “I am aware.”
“And you know how if you think about microbes, you panic?” Jayce prods.
Viktor’s expression flickers. “Two for two.”
They’re determined to figure it out. Together.

Summary
It’s a young man, absolutely filthy, his face caked with blood and his clothes torn in places that turn Jayce’s stomach. He blinks back from the light that floods in, and before he can react any further Jayce is on his knees, reaching for the cable ties around his wrists, saying, “It’s okay, you’re safe now, I’ve got you-”
“Jayce?”
And Jayce, hand halfway to the pocket knife on his belt, freezes. Takes another look at the man. And whispers, “Viktor?”
Jayce is a crisis interventionist for the Piltover Police Department. One night, while defusing a hostage situation, he discovers one of the hostages is someone he knows.

Summary
(based on art by @yoghurt_vigilante on ig!)
Viktor glanced at the screen, the numbers and charts blurring in his mind as his thoughts wandered. "I have to finish compiling–"
Jayce moved behind him and leaned down, pressing a kiss just behind Viktor’s ear.
“…I could finish compiling at our place.”

Summary
In the dark, the words escape Jayce's mouth like a long-held sigh, a confession of sorts:
"I miss her."
Viktor doesn't ask. He doesn't need to.
"I know." He hesitates for a beat. "It's been five years, Jayce. Maybe you could... write to her."--
Jayce tries to reconnect with his mother, five years after the events that led her and the rest of Runeterra to believe he'd died saving the world from the Machine Herald.

Summary
It’s been seven years since Will Byers vanished from Hawkins for the second time; seven years since he picked up his life, moved across the globe, and finally settled. He had found himself in a small town outside of Dublin with no desire to be anyplace else. He was happy. Ireland was great — beautiful sights, decent weather, and it was far. So, so far.
But when past feelings bubble from under the surface and start to poison his creative endeavors, he doesn’t think things could get any worse.
Seeing Mike Wheeler at his local grocery store quickly proves him wrong.
OR: Running away and the reunion of a lifetime.

Summary
He's never visited Viktor at school before. That's his space. His job, for a good few weeks now. Jayce didn't want to make him feel like he was hovering. Still, he can't help wondering what it's like. What he's like.

Summary
It's almost Snowdown, and with the help of mulled wine, Viktor mentions something he's been mulling over
“I would like a movie Snowdown, one day,” Viktor says, eyes bright but mouth almost entirely obscured by the maroon scarf Ximena had knit for him two winters previously. “Something romantic.”
Jayce snorts. “You want to leave your big city partner for a rugged man in some quaint small town?”
“Maybe I want to be the rugged local,” Viktor whines, leaning his shoulder further into Jayce’s as they watch an ice skater fumble from the comfort of their nearby bench. “Maybe I want to kiss you under a tree. With the lights. And snow.”

Summary
In the aftermath of a traumatic incident that led him to drop out of university, Jayce Talis packs up everything he knows and moves to a small mountain town in the middle of nowhere to open a flower shop, eager for a fresh start on life.
What he doesn't expect, however, is for fate to send him careening back into the orbit of a familiar face from childhood: Viktor, a remarkable up-and-coming artist who not only works at the adjacent tattoo parlor, but lives directly next door.
But Viktor has ghosts of his own. Walls he'd rather remain hidden behind for the sake of those around him. Neither of them intended for the other to get close.
But love is funny like that.

Summary
He hummed with displeasure once he'd gotten his arms around Viktor. "You're shivering."
"I have a fever." That'd clearly come out more harshly than Viktor had meant it to; he turned his vaguely glassy gaze up to Jayce with an apology written in his eyes. "It'll pass. I'm alright, Jayce."
"The last time I saw you this sick, you were dying."

Summary
Jayce was an artist once. He was young and lively, wooing patrons with his impressive works and making a name for himself under the alias "Giopara." But that was long ago, back when the world was still his. Five years have passed, he's grown older, life has changed, and he refuses to pick up a brush.
Viktor is a writer -- in theory. In practice, he hasn't written a word of his manuscript in years, and not for lack of trying. He's reached a standstill, or a lull if you will. His character, who he has based off himself, will achieve great things, but will he always live in the shadow of his creation?

“You came back to the lab.” There’s a note of wonder in Viktor’s voice. “You said you had council business last night.”
It’s not technically a question. Jayce sips his coffee to delay his answer anyhow.
“I did. Sort of."

Summary
“I think we should go to the beach together,” Jayce says, in a rushed sentence.
Then Jayce adds, “To study.”
And then, after another beat, Jayce concludes, “Crustaceans.”
Viktor stares. Then clarifies, bewildered, “For the Hexclaw?”
“Yeah,” Jayce says, gripping the back of his neck. Viktor notes that Jayce is not far off from the color of a steamed crustacean himself, at the moment. “For the Hexclaw.”

"Any illness in the past? Any medical procedures?"
"He―"
The words catch in Jayce's throat, his whole body coming to a stop. Nothing he could say feels vague enough. Nothing he could say feels safe enough. He can not risk Viktor's safety, anonymity, this life they have built. But what is his caution worth, if it only withholds the care Viktor needs?--
After Viktor suddenly falls ill, Jayce must grapple with the fears that keep him up at night.

Summary
It should not matter. They’re not even a year in. They don’t share an apartment. They’ve barely begun. But sometimes, when Jayce is in the bath and reading aloud with no awareness of his volume, Viktor forget’s that they don’t. The line between yours and mine is already smudged beyond recovery. They share lab keys and research grants and too many nights that blur into dawn. Doctoral candidates with matching lanyards and no time for office hours. Jayce teaches part of a seminar he half-prepares in Viktor's bed. Viktor models quantum diffusion systems at 3 a.m with Jayce’s hand buried in his hair, breath warm at his nape.
They orbit each other like binaries – two distinct bodies locked in shared momentum, gravity-born and holy in their tether. And still, it’s not enough.
Because skin is finite. Desire, however, obeys no such law.
(or: Viktor, astuary king, walks aside Jayce's favor, his comfort and all)
