Summary
Viktor turns the uniform over in his hands, smoothing over the wrinkles in the trousers. The buttons are diamond-shaped and hard underneath his fingers.
Leaning forward, his mother places her arm around his shoulders as she lays a white cravat across Viktor’s hands.
It’s the brightest piece of fabric Viktor has ever seen.
“Vitenka,” she whispers. “If you are going to change the world, do not ask for permission. Act like you belong and no one will question you.”
Piltover Academy of Sciences research masters student Jayce Talis isn't really studying crystallography like he told his professors. Viktor isn't even an academy student, he just has an academy uniform his parents made and very little to lose. They run into each other in a school hallway. Literally.
Based on this tweet from one of the Arcane writers that there was a backstory where Viktor's parents helped him sneak into the academy.

Summary
The boy looks up with hazel eyes. There is a look in his eyes that only a son could have for his mother. A desire to make her proud. “My name is Jayce of the House Talis. My father is Edmund Talis. I’ve come to claim my birthright as heir to my House.”
And through his stumbling words, his mother thinks- yes. You will make me proud.
(Or: Jayce and Ximena Talis never make it out of the snowstorm together. Jayce and Viktor meet, decades before they should, as two children of Zaun. This changes everything.)

Summary
“About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”
“Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”
“Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”
“Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”
*
Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.
