    Summary

    Some people are marked for greatness. Whether they're ready for it is another thing altogether.

    Jayce isn't cut out for greatness. He's just an engineering student with too much pressure and not enough sleep. When his latest invention goes horribly wrong at a very public science fair, all he wants to do is throw himself off the observatory roof. Instead, he finds an irresistibly snarky lab assistant who understands him better than he ever could have imagined.

    Viktor isn't cut out for greatness. He's just a frustrated astronomy student whose body lets him down almost as much as his peers. All he wants is some peace and quiet. Instead, he gets a clumsy golden boy with an idea almost as compelling as him.

    It looks like greatness is a two-man job.

    Summary

    student0158554
    Quality : 4.5
    Difficulty : 1.5

    This is the kind of professor that makes you want to come to class. The material is well-explained, and I did not meet a single person that didn't pass his class. Moreover, Professor Talis is BEAUTIFUL.

    The only complaint I have is his weird mood swings.

    One day, he went to class with sad puppy eyes, head down, and dropped dramatically on his chair. He gave us some papers and told us to « do whatever » because he had a fight with his partner and was not in the mood. Maybe his wife threatened to leave without him. That's the only evident answer to him banging his head on his desk with tears in his eyes.

    He was fine the next day tho.

    Love him.

    ------------------

    The reviews were getting out of hand.

    Viktor did not care a single bit about them.

    Jayce, on the contrary...

    Summary

    Jayce very nearly chokes. “I had thought you’d be too busy for gossip.”

    “Just because I go out of my way not to be noticed doesn’t mean that I don’t have ears,” Viktor says dryly.

    people are going to talk either way.

    Summary

    It was an unfortunate trait of Viktor’s to overfocus on a nagging problem until he solved it.

    This made him an excellent scientist but overly distant at some times and too hyper-aware at others. It had been easier as a child — not any less hurtful, more actually — when not many people had wanted to associate with him.

    Yet now, there was Jayce whom he cared about a great deal. He did not want to ruin anything about their burgeoning friendship and partnership by poking and prodding him.

    He would hate it if Jayce was to do the same to him.

    Early in their partnership, Viktor takes Jayce to a spa.
