Summary
“I believe you should already be familiar with the fact that I do not take assistants.” He leans forward in his chair a fraction, still poring over his book, and there is a marked pop in one of his joints that sounds nothing short of painful. He seems hardly bothered by it.
“I am,” you reply. “Which is why I am here in the hopes of changing your mind.”
Alternatively: You’re a bright phD student who won’t shy away from a challenge. Getting the most notorious professor at the University of Piltover to hire you as his assistant is one of them.

Summary
The Lanes never sleep.
The sunken streets may lie beneath Piltover’s heavy shadow, and it's faults are numerous and deadly, but no one can claim that the Undercity is boring.
There is always colour to be found, if you know where to look.
It’s something you pride yourself on – the ability to see what others can’t. Some mistake it for simple optimism. But you know it’s more than just that. It’s the thing that’s kept you alive this long, in more ways than one. You've always been happy to go wherever life has taken you, and you're a big believer in gut instinct.
But you never expected to end up working as a bartender at The Last Drop – having been scouted by a blue haired girl who wouldn't take no for an answer.
Neither did you expect to find yourself landed with the terrifying task of ensuring Silco's personal drinks cart is kept well stocked.
And you certainly never expected to find yourself inadvertently become the weekly drinking partner of the Eye of Zaun himself.

Summary
Viktor shouldn’t be alive.
He shouldn’t have survived the blast of the Council attack, and even if he did his sands of time should have soon run out. And yet here he stands, part man and part machine, in a future he never planned for and an augmented body he never expected to have.
With no template to follow, Viktor forges a new path towards happiness as he grapples with reconciling the man he once was and the man he could become. Complicated as this path may be, he knows better than to waste an opportunity to spend his remaining years with you, the person he’s kept in his heart ever since you were children. Amidst the chaos of an antebellum Runeterra, Viktor finds his freedom, his future, and his family -- retelling his journey in a series of letters to his daughter.
(Sequel to A Hope at Risk/threequel to A Hope Never Forgotten. Starts with the canon events at the end of Season 1, lightly references older LoL lore, and heavily draws from the shreds of content from the S2 trailer).

Summary
You're Heimerdinger's adopted daughter, hoping to escape the burden of his legacy. He's your father's cherished mentee, the perfect protégé to take your place. Growing up together when Heimerdinger boards the young scientist at your home, you become an unlikely pair. You're inseparable, 16-year old Viktor thinks, until you steal his first kiss, upend his world, and leave without another word in the same twenty-four hours. Life goes on, and he thinks he might just get over you.
But when he sees you for the first time in over a decade later, hope rears her ugly head and resurrects long-dormant feelings. As you cross paths with him time and time again, you think that maybe, someday, you might stop running from the mistakes of your past.
